Good Farming in Spring - C69

Only then did Zhang Liu return back to the courtyard. She first washed her hands and face, then filled two basins with water, and placed them on stools, so that when Ming Zi and the others returned, they would be able to wash up immediately.

“Mother, are the chicks hungry? I think they’re a bit wilted.”

Zhang Liu said as she entered the kitchen. She saw that the spring heat had already finished frying all the tea leaves and the porridge had already been boiled in the pot. She was at the same time making the cornmeal, probably wanting to become a pot paste.

She didn’t think much of it. On the contrary, she gave Dou Wang a fright. She held her hand, afraid that she would hit her face again. However, this time, she used too much force, so she spilled all the water on the plate she was holding.

“What are you doing?”

Lin Chunnuan’s actions of slapping her face wasn’t big, but Dou Wang’s words were pretty loud, causing Lin Chunnuan to jump in fright. If it wasn’t for Dou Wang holding her other hand, the small rice in her hand would probably have spilled onto the ground as well.

“I didn’t do anything. I just felt that I was too weak to remember such an important matter.”

“It’s all my fault. I should have thought about this.”

Because he didn’t think through everything and Lin Chunnuan hitting him made Dou Wang feel very bad. He knew that Chun Wen wouldn’t blame him, but because she didn’t blame him, it made Dou Wang feel even worse.

How can I blame you? I missed out on the bamboo tube myself, but it’s not a big problem. Mother said that every family in the village will have a bamboo tube, so I asked mother to go to the village later to buy a few of these things.

Hearing that Chun Wen had thought of a solution so quickly, Dou Wang heaved a sigh of relief. It was just that he could have thought of something first, but had decided to spend money to resolve it when the time came. This made him feel a little awkward.

After bringing out another plate of water, the little chicken ate the rice and drank the water. As expected, they became more energetic, and those few who had withered and didn’t like to move, Chun Jiao also fed them with rice grains. Then, he carried them over to drink some water.

See, I knew it was hungry. Tomorrow, I will go and dig wild vegetables for them, and feed them to their fill everyday so that they can grow up faster. At that time, there will be eggs for Chun Xiao to make egg soup for him.

Lin Chunnuan pinched Chun Jiao’s face, the little miss was too strong, he did not know if she had a good temper, when she grows up she will suffer losses because of her temper, looks like I have to save up more dowry for my little sister, when that time comes, if someone really wants to suppress my sister, I will use the dowry to smash him to death.

Lin Chunnuan never thought that the girls of this generation would all be gentle and demure, and she would never let her little sister’s temper rise right. In her heart, her siblings could not be bullied by others, who cares who you are, they would never let you succeed.

“Let’s go and see how the shed outside is doing. aconitine said that he will get bamboo plaque for the chickens, since it’s not here, it should be the shed.”

Lin Chunnuan really wanted to go inside the hut and check it out.

“Alright, I just flipped over the tea leaves. I’ll go in the shed and flip over the tea leaves after I’ve finished looking through the tea leaves. It’s just nice.”

The two of them spoke as they walked out of the door. Chun Jiao also quickly ran over and held her sister’s hand as she followed them out. In the end, the two of them were disappointed.

“Why did it already be done? I was still thinking about how to insert grass into the grid.”

Ming Zi and the others just happened to have finished doing everything, and were walking towards the courtyard. Hearing Lin Chunnuan’s words, they all laughed out loud.

If anything looks good, just stuff it in and make it more compact, but it doesn’t have to be too tight either. If it’s too tightly stuffed, it’ll rot easily, especially if it’s like us, who haven’t dried it completely in less than a day. But we can’t be too loose.

Lin Chunnuan didn’t know that a grass hut like this would actually need to say so much.

“So that’s how it is. What a long way to learn. I still don’t know enough.”

Lin Chunnuan suddenly realised that she needed to worship even a simple thatched cottage, knowledge was too lacking.

“What is there to learn about? This is how life is supposed to be. You’re too young. You’ll find out soon enough.”

Ming Zi did not think that there was anything worth flaunting, but Lin Chunnuan’s heart was moved.

Even though he had lived for more than twenty years in his previous life, his current life was very different from his current one. Therefore, Mingzi was right, he had to lead his days bit by bit.

“Let’s go back to the courtyard. My mother should have almost finished cooking dinner. The courtyard has already been filled with water for you. Go and wash first.”

After bringing them into the courtyard, Ming Zi and the others went to wash their hands and face, and Chun Wen went to the kitchen to look for Zhang Liu.

“Let’s wait and see, today’s matter is too much. It’s already a little late and I should be hungry, so I only fried a plate of rabbit meat and then cooked a big pot of stew. I stewed yesterday’s wild chicken and pasted pot paste s on the sides and they are already ripe, so I just need some wild chicken to stew a little more, and they will be done soon.”

When Zhang Liu saw his daughter enter, she reached out and grabbed a piece of rabbit meat from a big porcelain bowl beside him and stuffed it into her mouth. She was not afraid of her daughter spicy, she had already realised that her daughter could eat spicy food recently, and would not be able to eat spicy and explosive food back at the Lin Family household. No one would ask her what her children liked to eat, as Zhang Liu did not know that her daughter liked spicy and spicy food.

Ever since they came to Dou Wang’s good house, their daughter had already cooked a spicy dish twice, but she had only cooked a little. She was afraid that her brother and sister wouldn’t be able to eat it, so she only cooked a small serving.

The rabbit meat was also the most suitable for this kind of taste, so Zhang Liu made a spicy hot rabbit meat today. The boys were also allowed to taste the rabbit meat, and if they wanted to eat more, they could make more. Of course, in the end, when the chilies exploded, they still cooked a few pieces for their younger son and daughter.

After leaving the Lin Family, he could no longer feel the pressure of life. This was a new kind of life experience, Zhang Liu felt that his whole body was relaxed, as if a bird was finally able to fly freely in the sky.

“I will go and get some tea from Wangzhige and help Mother set the table in a while.”

Seeing that the stew would take a while, Lin Chunnuan went into the house to start rummaging for tea. Only the last two bamboo plaque remained, Dou Wang did not manage to get her to do it.

“That’s enough, you don’t have to do anything else. After you hang them up, they will be packed in. Only these two bamboo plaque are left. If you hang them up for drying again, they will live together.”

Lin Chunnuan taught him well, and Dou Wang knew how to speak some terms now. Hearing the words “reheat”, Lin Chunnuan curled her lips.

“Then let’s go set up the table. We can start eating soon. Everyone should be hungry.”

After Dou Wang had finished rummaging through the last of the tea leaves, the two of them went out to set up the table, using the same old table as before.

Since the West-house was now occupied by the Spring Warm family, they could no longer hang the tea leaves, so they could only hang them on the table in the good house of Dou Wang. Without the table, Dou Wang had to hang the washed mint on the new table in the yard.

“The table is a bit small, I guess I’ll have to eat today. Luckily, there aren’t too many dishes. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to put it on the table.”

Dou Wang was setting up the dishes while lamenting that the table was too small.

“When the time is out, have aconitine… Uncle and the others can help to set up a shelf in the courtyard, so we’ll have space to set up our things. ”

The two of them talked while they set up the table. Zhang Liu’s stew had also been cooked, and was brought out using a wooden basin, there were still half of the pot left, and this pot of food had been cooked quite a lot, but Zhang Liu was afraid that there were too many men, and that the food was not enough to eat.

The beans also washed Chun Jiao’s hands and brought him in, while the Grandmother Qian led Chun Xiao out of the house. Just now, the ancestor and grandson were playing with Little Spot in the house, and the table was a little crowded, but it was also lively. Fortunately, there were enough chairs for them to sit on.

Ming Zi and the others were a little embarrassed from having two meals a day of meat, but they had not done anything yet, so this meat was even good for their meals. If you added the meat of deer s that were distributed to their mouths at noon, there would be three meals of meat a day, but it was a life they had never even dreamed of.

“Spring Warm, you can’t eat like this in the future. Steamed two pots of hot food to make a pot of soup, mixed with two side dishes, that would be a good meal. Otherwise, before the house can be built, you guys would have to let us eat until you’re poor.”

An Zi was also someone who was willing to speak. He got to know Spring Warm City very quickly, so he was not restricted when speaking.
