Farmhouse pretty cook

Chapter 99
Looking at the brand new house, Mu Xiang counted the days, the first batch of furniture made by Chen De should be delivered.She breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Wu Qing: "You don't need to make the floor tonight, you can sleep on the kang, let Mu Lang sleep with you, let him get used to it."

She originally planned to let Mu Lang sleep alone after the house was built.But suddenly let him sleep alone, and I was afraid that he would not be able to accept it, and would be afraid at night. Now that Wu Qing is here, this problem has been solved.

Wu Qing has also gotten to know Mu Xiang well these days, but she really regards her as her younger sister, so she immediately responded, "Okay, then I'll pick manure and water the garden, and you can make an agreement with Mu Lang later, otherwise he will definitely not do it. "

"I know this, don't worry, I will tell him," Mu Xiang turned to Mu Lang, and saw him squatting at the courtyard gate, playing with Hei Bao in his arms.A month later, Hei Bao grew up a bit, more and more like a dog, not as chubby and cute as he was when he was a child.

Wu Qing went to the hut behind the house with a shoulder pole and a dung bucket.He was not born as a farmer, but an orphan. As soon as he could remember, he entered the training camp of Helian's family, and grew up slowly from the cruel training.Before coming to Mu's house, other than protecting his master, his life was killing people.I never thought that one day, I would be able to live a comfortable and ordinary life.

Mu Xiang went back to the kitchen to scoop up a few bowls of rice and put them in the basin. This was dinner at night, but the rice was not refined and had impurities in it, so it had to be cleaned before cooking.She moved the stool to the gate of the yard, and sat next to Mu Lang, picked up the unhulled rice, and threw it into the chicken coop casually.When the hens saw something flying in, no matter what it was, they jumped on it and grabbed it.

Mu Xiang thought about her choice of words, coughed lightly, "Mu Lang, do you still remember how old you are?"

"Aren't you eight years old?" Mu Lang blinked his big eyes and looked at her, while Hei Bao wagged his tail and licked his hand, tickling him a bit.

Mu Xiang flattered her smile, "That's right, it's eight years old. Mu Lang has a really good memory, so do you know what an eight-year-old boy should do?"

Mu Lang shook his head, he really didn't understand.

Mu Xiang explained to him in a soft voice, "Eight-year-old boys are grown-ups and should be independent. They can no longer sleep in the same room with their elder sister. Otherwise, if it spreads out, it will make people laugh. Our new house is finished. , Mu Lang will sleep with Angkor tonight, okay?"

Mu Lang was deeply attached to Mu Xiang, the eldest sister. When he heard that the eldest sister would not take him to sleep, his face immediately collapsed, and his expression was as wronged as he wanted.

Mu Xiang knew that he would not be able to digest this matter for a while, so she changed the angle and said: "Mu Lang, didn't you say that when you grow up, you want to be a man of indomitable spirit? Since you want to be a man, you have to look like a man. , let’s start from sleep, as an exercise of courage, you don’t want others to call you a coward behind your back, right? Our Mulang is the bravest and most masculine, right?”

After being silent for a while, Mu Lang nodded slowly, and said in a muffled voice, "I know, I'll sleep with Brother Ang tonight!" In his subconscious mind, he also knew that he couldn't sleep with his elder sister all the time. I couldn't accept it for a while.It's like a baby who is drinking milk. If he is suddenly weaned from the milk, he will definitely not adapt.

When the house was built, it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The rice planted in spring is also in the harvest season, and busy figures can be seen everywhere in the fields.

Some hold sickles and cut rice.There are also those who carry rice handles and run to their own grain drying fields.

In their place, there is little rain in autumn, and the river recedes a lot.So in the sunny and rainless days, everyone seized the time and did as much as they could.Otherwise, if the weather is bad and it rains, the rice production will be reduced.

No matter how busy the people in the village are, it doesn't matter to Mu Xiang. She only has one field, and she still has to get it from Li Dashan, and she has no food.There are still many odds and ends in the new house that have not been cleaned up. In order to have more eggs, she bought five more old hens.

This time the chicken coop is very lively. Ten chickens can basically collect seven or eight eggs a day.Mu Xiang doesn't sell a single egg, and saves all of them for cooking to improve meals for her younger siblings.

Wu Qing left within a few days. It is said that he received an order from his master to rush to the frontier.Seeing Wu Qing's dignified expression, Mu Xiang guessed that this time the trouble was serious.It was just right for him to leave, and Mu Xiang could do her own work more conveniently.

According to her agreement with Chen Shi, Mu Xiang will receive a batch of casings every once in a while.After she took it back, she hung them in the room and did not move for a while.Seeing her unhurried manner, Mrs. Chen wondered more than once, and even asked Damei several times.

Damei's family has relatives with the Chen family. Besides, Lin Changshuan went with him when he went to town. If he knew, Damei would definitely not be able to hide it.

But no matter how they asked, Mu Xiang just kept silent, and they might not understand it before the time came.

In the past few days, Mu Xiang also has a lot of free time.

The firewood needed for the winter at home was chopped when Wu Qing was there, and there was a full yard of firewood piles half the height of the wall, which was enough for the winter.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it rained continuously for half a month.

Mu Xiang started to make clothes, glued the soles of shoes, and tied shoes.Before making cotton shoes, she made a few pairs of single slippers. After washing her feet at night, she could wear them on.Slippers are easier to make, just as a practice hand.

After making several pairs of slippers one after another, Mu Xiang's craftsmanship has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the shoes she made have a good appearance.She also learned how to embroider, and the embroidering on her and Caiyun's shoes was very simple, a plum blossom or bamboo leaves.

In addition to shoes, winter clothes, and quilts, these have to be prepared.

On this day, Mu Xiang had finished watering the vegetable garden. Seeing that it was still early for lunch, she prepared to go back to the house and quickly made the cut cloth to make a quilt cover.It came to her by chance.

How could the ancient people think of the quilt cover? Generally, the quilt is covered, and the quilt is covered with white cotton thread along the edge of the quilt.

But in this way, it is inconvenient to disassemble and wash.So Mu Xiang went to the cloth shop in the town, and came back with a piece of coarse cloth with blue background and white flowers.Although it is coarse cloth, it is also spun from cotton, and it will be very soft after washing it with rice washing water.

Caiyun carried the shrimp net, followed by Mu Lang, the two of them came out of the courtyard together, and met Mu Xiang who was carrying a bucket home, "Sister, I'll take Mu Lang to fish for shrimp, and we must be back before dark."

Mu Xiang didn't care too much, "Don't go to the river, just fish in a small ditch nearby. If you can't lift it, just call me back." They often go fishing for small fish and shrimp, although those things are more expensive to clean up. It's troublesome, but woody fragrance can make it. The steamed shrimp paste and small dried fish are very good for rice.Caiyun and Mulang also like to eat, so they go out every day.
