Sweet Garden Bliss

"Let's go pick the lotus and watch the excitement! My sister-in-law can cook by herself, and the millet porridge needs to be boiled for a while, the watery soup is not delicious—"Ah Yuan waved to Cailian to support the children's curiosity.

"Then I'll go and see how it's doing, come back and report to my sister-in-law at any time!" The little girl ran out cheerfully, and the big black dog barked softly.

Ah Yuan washed the rice steadily and put it into the pot, the flames licked the bottom of the pot, and soon exuded a light rice fragrance.

Now I am finally used to the way of cooking in a ground pot. Not to mention, the larger the heating area, the faster the rice will be cooked, and the aroma of the food can be fully cooked. The steamed buns and other pasta, Also has a unique taste.

Bai Laosan freshly steamed Zamian steamed buns at noon, one by one as big as the mouth of a bowl, stuffed into the pot, even if the staple food is finished.

As expected, Xiao Cailian ran back to report the battle situation with a flushed face: "Sister-in-law, brother has mixed wheat straw and red clay, and now each piece is stronger than the other. My brother said, if the stickiness is stronger, then our yard will be more sticky. The wall can catch up with the density of the blue bricks!"

They are all a group of peasants who are striving for perfection. They are addicted to playing with lumps of mud, and they are so smug that they are comparable to blue bricks.

A Yuan couldn't help smiling, and helped Cai Lian brush up the broken hair that fell on the tip of her nose, and arranged: "Tell your elder brother, it's almost enough, and it's not porridge, why is it so sticky?"

Little Cailian was also happy, and nodded: "Then I'll talk about it—"

As soon as she turned around, there was a sudden shout of joy in the kitchen: "Go tell your brother, if you want it to be more sticky. You can also try mixing it with millet juice, and I'll bring it right away—"!

She's just a prodigal old woman!

And - a group of idiots who are happy to lose their fortunes!

Outside the lonely courtyard wall of the Bai family, a large pot of sticky millet porridge was used as an additive. Boss Bai stirred vigorously with his rolled up bare arms, and then poured it into a rectangular container made of four templates.

Wait, wait, wait—

Six pairs of eyes were looking forward to seeing the effect, but unfortunately there was no clock to tell the time.

Finally, I feel that the heat is almost ready.Several men held a template each, and retreated carefully.

A mud wall that fits perfectly, neither loose nor cracked nor wilted, stands there quietly and evenly.

It worked!

Compared with the surrounding soil and mud wall experiments.This one is really top notch, as long as it can be kept as it is tomorrow morning, then it is completely possible to start hiring people to operate, of course.Templates have to be added, and Boss Bai's mind is smooth.It is already possible to preliminarily estimate how much labor is needed and how long it will take to build.

"It's no problem to complete the task before winter." Boss Bai pinched his fingers and straightened his waist: "It's just that the rice juice is too expensive, if you want to enclose the courtyard wall like this, how many grains of rice will be thrown away for nothing! "

"Tch—" Ah Yuan rolled his eyes at him: "You hire people to work, and you don't have to take care of the food? Use a few pots to cook porridge. Thin walls, thick people can't drink it? Millet rice is the most nourishing !"

really.Food would not be wasted, Boss Bai was said to be ironic, treating his daughter-in-law's supercilious eyes as admiration, and took everything up.

After solving a big problem, everyone went home to drink thick porridge. Sorry, everyone left half a bowl of golden rice grains.

"Sister-in-law's brain is really easy to use!" Bai Laosan was very convinced and gave A Yuan a thumbs up: "I am willing to drink only rice grains every day."

Ah Yuan, who received the praise, became humble this time, rolled his eyelids, and looked at all the members: "We are 'three cobblers, one Zhuge Liang', as long as we all work together to find a solution, there will be no problem that cannot be solved!"

However, there is still a heart disease in my family that has not been resolved!

"The wormwood will be piled there first and will not move. Whoever sees it outside will continue to squeeze it back and put it on. There will always be a way. Let's think about it slowly."

Ah Wen said with a look of admiration: "Sister-in-law, you will definitely have a way, we all help you think, there are six people in our family, that is two Zhuge Liang!"

This kid also learned division?The meal was very lively, and there were discussions again and again about the courtyard wall and the wormwood.

After all, a person's thinking has limitations. Ah Yuan listened carefully to everyone's suggestions and weighed them repeatedly in his heart.

"Then Master Xu clearly thinks this wormwood is a good thing. The moxa stick can cure diseases, but it is more dangerous and not flattering. Then we can find a way to make it not dangerous through thick things!"

"But the moxibustion strips have to be smoked into the flesh to be effective? Can it work through thick things?"

Ah Yuan has experience with this, so he followed up the discussion: "It can be separated by breathable things, sliced ​​ginger and garlic, in fact, fabrics are also fine, and the smoke of moxa can get in, but I am afraid that the fabric will be burned by fire."

Xiao Cailian also used her brain: "Sister-in-law, let's find a way to keep the moxibustion strips away from the skin and flesh, so that the acupuncture points can be smoked without hurting the skin and fabric—"

"Why don't you make a shelf? Put the moxibustion strips up a little distance, even if the ash falls, it will fall on the top of the pole, and it won't burn the flesh." Bai Er frowned tightly, and placed himself in the place of Li Tiejiang. The fine iron wires I have seen have contributed.

Yes!Ah Yuan's eyes widened. In his previous life, when he baked steamed buns, he used a wire rack to support them above the hearth. The steamed buns were baked crispy and fragrant, and they would never be burnt!

It seems that there is really a convenient method of moxibustion, but the temperature in the beauty salon is controlled by the air conditioner, so the customers are not afraid of being cold, and since they are all women’s homes, they are not afraid of the shyness of the customers. , it is easier to find acupuncture points.

After smoking through the wire, cutting the moxibustion sticks short, fixing them at a certain height and lighting them again, everyone's thinking became clearer and clearer.

"Sister-in-law, it would be even better if the thick smoke from the moxa stick can be solved by the way. I think it may be the reason why everyone doesn't like to use it." Xiao Cailian felt deeply. , her throat was about to smoke, and her eyes were so smoky that tears were rolling, it was very uncomfortable!

"That is to say, there must be something to cover the smoke. Use something to wrap a layer, and just breathe in the acupuncture points." A Yuan pondered over and over again, her tone was a little hurried. She felt that the best answer was the distance. It's very close, it seems, just need to pierce the last layer of window paper!

I can definitely think of it myself, I can definitely do it!

Bai Laosan suddenly brought up another topic: "Brother and sister-in-law, I was wandering around the wasteland today. From a distance, I seemed to see a few villagers peeping and sneaking in the distance. When I yelled, I wanted to make some friends In a word, they turned around and left again, so strange!"

"Did they find out that you were digging stones?" Bai Laoer was the first to show the sensitivity of a businessman, pointing at the bull's-eye.

"No—right! I was carrying a bamboo basket and wanted to gather weeds for the cattle, but—but, I dug out those traps to check the situation, but I didn't find any rabbits—"Bai Laosan's tone was a little hesitant, fearing that the action of digging a trap would lead to misunderstanding.

Having said that, Boss Bai also frowned: "I went to Sansanlitun today, and the stones in the village asked why our family bought such a large piece of wasteland, and asked if there was any treasure dug up. It's a joke!"

In Ah Yuan's mind, she recalled the stone daughter-in-law who gave her a piece of "leaven dough head", indifferently as if everyone owed her money.

Before getting rid of poverty and becoming rich, troubles are beginning to appear, one after another, it will not be particularly troublesome!

Boss Bai took a deep breath and made up his mind: "Tomorrow, the second child will set up a noodle stall with your sister-in-law. On the way there, I will turn to Shisanlitunjia to make a template. When I come back, I will buy enough food. We will immediately Ask someone to start building the courtyard wall, stop setting up the noodle stall the day after tomorrow, apologize to the regular customers, and stop collecting deposits."

Although a big dog was added, the sense of crisis was imminent, and the family immediately entered a state of preparation for war.

It would be the best to build up the courtyard wall before the villagers realize that the smell of Gashi lanterns, which is popular in the town, is the "stink" emanating from the wasteland!

"Every man is innocent, but he is guilty if he is pregnant." Throughout the ages, are there still few such examples?Yuan is more worried than any other family member.

Even if the courtyard wall is erected and two dogs are patrolled, what if someone sues and powerful people covet this wealth?Can the six "mud legs" of the family keep this wasteland?

In the face of power, in front of "local tyrants' gold", should one's own family be as small as an ant and let others trample on it?

The air in the kitchen was a bit heavy, Bai Lao Er raised his face and sighed, even though he was shrewd and knew how to advance and retreat, he was really unwilling to give away the wealth in his hands.

Is my mood at this moment like that "bean curd Xi Shi" man, who does not have the ability to protect a beauty, but has a beauty, and often sleeps at night, sighing and frightened. Is this luck or misfortune?

"Uncle Li and Aunt Li who are the closest to our house, please help too? I see, that family is very human." The only acquaintance Ah Yuan made in this village was Aunt Li.

"Well, after dinner, I went to tell Uncle Li to ask him to help us find someone to do the work. I figured that twenty strong laborers would be enough." Boss Bai nodded. In fact, he never It has been a long time since I moved out of the village, and the friends who played together when I was young have not communicated with each other for a long time. For a while, I really can't think of anyone who can be entrusted to.

Ah Yuan remembered that she had arranged for the cotton clothes that Aunt Li helped make, and got up together: "Cai Lian is picking up the dishes, I will follow your brother to find Aunt Li, and see if the clothes are sewn."

Everyone supported this matter, and little Arwen jumped up eager to try and tugged at Ah Yuan's skirt: "Sister-in-law will take me too, his Wang Zier plays well with me!"

It was rare for the little guy to make good friends outside, and both Boss Bai and A Yuan were reluctant to refuse, so when A Yuan pocketed the money, the three of them, tall and short, followed closely to visit.
