i have a mountain

Chapter 1656

The next day was a beautiful day with a bright sun. Yu Fei carefully inspected the construction site of the ancestral hall, handing materials to the workers from time to time, as if he was very busy, although it was all finishing work.

But soon, the illusion that he was very busy was exposed, and the two little girls came to look for him after going home.

"Grandma said, no matter how busy you are, you can't delay going back to buy food." Guoguo said seriously with a puffy face.

Xiao Yingzi even pulled his arm and walked out, and Yu Fei followed him two steps helplessly.

What a distant word it is to scour for food!
To put it simply, the wheat is washed with water, then spread out to dry, and finally sent to the noodle workshop to make flour and wheat bran.

When I was young, I didn't have so much commercial food, but the noodles that every family ate came from this way, and the steamed buns were not so white, but they were very fragrant.

Yu Fei doesn't resist this kind of face-to-face meeting, what he resists is the matter of food shopping itself.

This stems from his childhood memories, because he was beaten for panning for grain, and at that time, the wheat was grazing with mud blocks, and it was a physical effort to dig the wheat out of it every time.

Although the work of digging from the inside out is usually done by the father or the eldest brother, he is basically the one who picks up the basket.

The dust mixed with the smell of wheat bran and insect repellant once made him think that it was the worst smell in the world.

Because people are used to eating commercial noodles over the years, and the wheat is sold directly after harvesting, so the noodle workshops gradually disappeared.

Perhaps this world is a reincarnation, whether it is clothing or food, after a round of rotation, it returns to the original point.

Recently, another noodle making workshop opened in the market, and it has never been idle since it opened. Not only people from Shuangfeng Town, but also people from the surrounding towns come here to make noodles.

My mother also thought about it, and bought two bags of wheat from Uncle Hu's house, and prepared to eat the noodles she made.

That's why Yu Fei hid in the ancestral hall early in the morning, thinking that he could escape his childhood nightmare.

But in the end, he still couldn't escape, and the two daughters are now pulling one of his arms into the village.

Yu Fei's pace of progress is really slow, but whenever he meets an acquaintance, he can't wait to chat with him about the 5000 years of China and the world form.

It's a pity that even if he has the heart, it's impossible for him to chat with him.

So when Yu Fei came to the new house, the big tank had just been filled with water, and the two bags of wheat that had fallen on the ground had just been poured out of a basket.

"If your dad hadn't had to go to school today, would I need your help?" Seeing the state of the three of them, the mother immediately opened her mouth to reprimand.

"I didn't say no, it's not that the two children just cared about playing along the way, I dragged them to go so fast." Yu Fei turned around and sold the two girls.

Guoguo: "..."

Xiaoyingzi: "..."

"That's not it~" Guoguo let go of his hand and complained to grandma: "Father doesn't even want to come, if it wasn't for the two of us dragging him, he would still be playing in the ancestral hall now."

"Nonsense, I was helping in the ancestral hall." Yu Fei smiled kindly at Guoguo.

"That's right, he pulled several people to talk along the way, and I've never seen him talk so much before." Xiaoyingzi said with his hands on his hips.

Shi Fang smiled when she heard the words, and said to Fei: "It's okay this time, I want to drag your two daughters into the water, and I'll tell you that neither of them will suffer."

"You don't need to go to the wheat hole to dig out wheat, and you don't give insect repellent medicine. What are you afraid of?" Mother knew him, and she knew all about his stinky problems.

Yu Fei subconsciously rubbed his nose and said, "Isn't there a shadow in my heart?"

"When you were young, you got stuck eating fish, but every time you ate fish, you didn't eat less. Your chopsticks were so tired." His mother exposed him mercilessly.

After laughing awkwardly, Yu Fei changed the subject and said, "Are there only these two sacks of wheat? There is no Boza drying? Why don't you take it to the farm, where there is a drying place."

"No need." My mother said, "It's just two sacks of wheat, just spread it out on a cloth on the ground and let it dry. If you spread it thinner, it will be dry in the middle of the night."

As she spoke, her mother picked up half of the basket of wheat and put it in the water tank, and then turned it back and forth with her hands, while Shi Fang took a colander to pick up the remaining wheat bran and floating wheat on the water.

The full wheat will sink into the basket under the water surface, and the wheat that floats up will die, leaving only a layer of skin, which is the so-called wheat bran, which was used to feed chickens.

Glancing at the two granddaughters lying on the edge of the water tank, the mother reminded: "Get up a bit, the water will come out after I shake it."

The two little girls quickly moved away, while the mother half-lifted the basket and swayed back and forth in the interface between the water and the water.

The wheat in the basket swayed back and forth as the basket went up and down, and seemed to be spilled, but under the control of my mother, not even a single grain of wheat escaped.

As his mother's movements stagnated, Yu Fei immediately stepped forward to take the basket from his mother's hand.

With a sound of hey, he lifted the washed wheat out of the water tank in a basket, and then put it on a brick, tilting a corner to control the water.

Just like this, washing baskets by baskets, when the water is almost controlled, pour it on the cloth that has been spread out on the ground, and the two little girls spread it out carefully.

When Yu Fei saw that they could even separate the wheat grains one by one, he laughed and said, "If you two do it like this, it won't be finished until next year."

The two little girls who were still angry with him snorted almost at the same time, turned their heads and ignored him.

"Can't you coax him well?" Shi Fang watched his joke from the sidelines.

Yu Fei smiled confidently, stretched out a finger and said, "It takes a meal."

Shi Fang curled her lips, ignoring his honeyed self-confidence.

After cleaning the two sacks of wheat, the mother spread the wheat bran and said to Fei: "The wheat bran will not be sold after the wheat bran is harvested. You can feed it to geese or dogs when you bring it back to the farm."

Yu Fei nodded and said: "It's okay to feed the geese, but I guess they won't eat it if you feed it to the dogs. They're used to dog food, so they probably don't have much interest in it."

The mother also knew the origin of those dogs, so she didn't say much, she just sighed and said, "It would be great if there was a pig at home, you can feed the pig."

When it came to feeding the pigs, the two little girls immediately became interested.

"Then buy a piglet from Aunt Nana and feed it at home." Guoguo suggested.

The mother seemed a little moved, but she quickly vetoed it: "Let's wait a few more years, our family has no time to feed the pigs in the past two years."

Shi Fang said at this time: "I'm not that expensive now, it doesn't matter if I feed a pig at home."

"That won't work, you are about to give birth, who will have time to take care of a pig after you give birth?" said the mother.

"I am~"

Guoguo pointed at herself, and then pulled Xiaoyingzi over: "The two of us can take care of the little pig."

The mother smiled, pinched her serious face and said, "You two are still little pigs, how can you take care of the little pigs?"

Guoguo stretched out her finger to press the tip of her nose and pushed it up, and she made a piggy-like cry, which made her mother laugh.

……

On the way back to the farm, Yu Fei saw four or five families, just like his own, all looking for grain. What Uncle Hu said was right.

"It's better to eat the noodles by yourself, who knows what other people's flour mills will add to you."

It also represents the earliest misunderstanding of their generation.

When commercial white noodle buns first appeared, Yu Fei was still the size of Guoguo. At that time, all the buns at home were slightly yellow, and no one had ever seen buns as white as snow.

Then some people said that it is the wheat that has been washed with bleach to steam the buns so white, and some people objected.

It is said that washing wheat with bleach is useless. It should be that washing powder was added to the dough when it was kneaded, so it is so white.

There are even scarier rumors that this flour is mixed with various kinds of ground bone meal, which is why it is so white.

This once led to the fact that such commodities had no market at all in rural areas.

This situation did not get better until more people went out in the village. After all, people in big cities eat this kind of white buns.

It was almost noon when Yu Fei returned to the farm. Before entering the door, he saw the village party secretary wandering around the ancestral hall with his hands behind his back. As soon as he saw Yu Fei, he immediately waved for him to come over.

"The work outside has already been done, what do you do with these three big umbrellas?"

The village has already reached a conclusion on this matter. After the ancestral hall is built, these three big umbrellas will be removed. Yu Fei has also thought about it in his heart.

So he said directly: "The farms on the west side of Nolu are combined together, which can be regarded as adding a gazebo."

The village party secretary nodded and said, "That's fine. After lunch, I will find someone to come over and start moving. The other one is a custom-made incense burner that will be delivered in the evening. Don't run far away then."

As soon as Yu Fei said this, he became interested: "Is it pure copper?"

"Not all." The village party secretary said: "Don't worry about the material, it's not light anyway, and you'll have to work hard when the time comes."

Yu Fei agreed, "No problem, I'm not going anywhere today, just moving the umbrella and waiting to carry the incense burner."

……

Knowing that the secretary of the village party committee is a man who does what he says, Yu Fei didn't stay idle after he left, and contacted A Qiang to send him a cart of sand, cement and stones.

Big Umbrella may still have scruples about geomantic omen on the side of the ancestral hall, but it is not so particular on his farm side.

After the small excavator groaned for a while, three regular deep pits appeared in Luxi Farm. At this time, the village party secretary also brought a group of people to the ancestral hall to remove the big umbrella.

After a group of people worked for half an afternoon, the roof of the ancestral hall was finally finished, and three poles were erected in Lucy's farm.

The umbrella was not installed at the first time, because the cement at the bottom was still waiting for it to solidify.

At this time, a seemingly empty truck drove to the ancestral hall under the command of the village party secretary, and the incense burner with its ears exposed could only be seen when it was approached.

Good guy, no wonder the village party secretary said that Yu Fei was not allowed to ask what material the incense burner was made of. The length of the incense burner in front of him was longer than Yu Fei's head.

The width is about [-] to [-] centimeters, and the height is about one meter. If it was made of copper, it is estimated that this truck would not dare to pull it. There is a thick wooden board under the incense burner.

It took a lot of effort, and with the joint efforts of the crane arm and everyone, this big guy finally landed in its proper position.

After the car left, the village party secretary looked at the censer and the empty holy cabinet and said, "Wait for two more days, and then I can offer incense sticks to those elders."
