Chapter 3 Gu Jiayan
These lychee trees were planted by Lin Yunxi after he went to Licheng specifically to search the entire city and selected the best quality ones from among thousands of saplings.
After being transplanted into the space, it was taken care of with great care and watered with spiritual spring water every day.
The optimized lychee trees produce large fruits with thin shells, thick, crisp flesh, rich, sweet and juicy, of excellent quality and without cores.
Lin Yunxi came to the tree and picked a lychee, about twenty of them, and peeled off the bright red shell.
The unique fragrance of litchi hits you in the face, and the flesh is like white jade, crystal clear and as white as cream.
As the pulp was taken out, the rich, transparent juice dripped onto the ground through the fingers.
Take a bite, the thick and juicy flesh instantly bursts between your lips and teeth, and the sweet juice flows into your throat, refreshing your heart.
Lin Yunxi sighed as he ate: "This is the life that gods live."
There was also an area in the space that she fenced off and turned into a livestock area, where she raised chickens, ducks, geese, cows, sheep and pigs. There weren't many, but there were definitely enough to eat.
The lake not far away was sparkling, and naughty fish jumped out of the water from time to time, splashing crystal water.
There is a mobile warehouse next to the field, which is filled with grain, vegetables, fruits and some daily necessities.
Lin Yunxi looked at the vibrant scene and abundant supplies in front of him with satisfaction, and couldn't help but sigh at his foresight.
Although nothing major happened after the space appeared, Lin Yunxi still persisted in stockpiling daily necessities in the space like a little hamster.
Her space is now no different from a treasure chest, with all the supplies you need.
With the space, he no longer has to worry about food problems. Lin Yunxi's heart was burning with excitement, and his whole body seemed to have endless energy.
After inspecting her territory, she felt something in her heart and reappeared in the room.
Lin Yunxi came to the main room and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost eleven o'clock.
She quickly walked to the kitchen, took out a full set of cleaning tools from the space, cleaned the floor, and then carefully cleaned the panel, stove, and all the pots, bowls, and chopsticks several times.
Half an hour later, the originally dirty and messy kitchen had become brand new, with grain and seasoning jars arranged in an orderly manner, and the stove and chopping board spotless.
The rice and flour jars, seasoning bottles and oil cans are also full, giving a sense of security and life.
There were only her and Gu Jiayan at home. Gu's mother would not come here unless otherwise requested, so there was no need to worry about the extra food at home being discovered.
It was time to make lunch. Lin Yunxi thought about it, took out more than a pound of ribs, a few tomatoes and cucumbers from the space, and washed them by the well.
She plans to make sweet and sour pork ribs with these ribs, the tomatoes can be used with a few eggs in the kitchen to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and the cucumbers can be used for cold salad, which is most appetizing.
This amount of food is enough for her and Gu Jiayan. If there is more, they won’t be able to finish it, and they can’t keep it for a day.
There was no coal gas or fuel oil in those days, and people living in the countryside didn’t even have coal stoves.
The stove used for cooking was an earthen stove. Lin Yunxi had seen it in the countryside before. It was very easy to operate and she was able to light the fire after just a few tries.
Lin Yunxi steamed white rice in a small pot in advance, added water to a large pot, and blanched the ribs to remove the blood and impurities.
Pour oil into the pot and fry the ribs until the surface is golden brown. Finally, pour in the sweet and sour sauce made of cooking wine, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce and water.
Stir-fry evenly, cook over high heat until the sauce thickens, and sprinkle with a layer of sesame seeds after serving.
Then beat four eggs in a bowl, add a little salt and mix well.
Add appropriate amount of cooking oil to a large pot, pour in the hot egg liquid and stir-fry until it becomes clumpy, then remove and set aside.
Then pour in the chopped tomatoes, stir-fry until the juice comes out, then add salt, sugar and fried eggs and stir-fry for one minute.
Sprinkle with chopped green onions and a brightly colored, sweet and sour tomato scrambled eggs is ready.
Next is the cold cucumber salad. Flatten the cucumber and cut into sections. Add the sauce made of salt, sugar, soy sauce, aged vinegar and sesame oil and mix well.
Considering that there are children at home, Lin Yunxi also made a dish of steamed egg with minced meat.
These two days, "she" was injured and lying in bed, and Gu Jiayan was taken to the old house to be taken care of by Gu's father and mother.
Lin Yunxi put the prepared food into the pot to keep it warm, covered it with a lid, and then walked towards the old house according to her memory.
Along the way, there were people who had just finished work. They were tired and sweating, but their faces were filled with the joy of a good harvest.
Although the scene in front of him was ordinary, it really shocked Lin Yunxi. The glory of China belongs to every working people.
"Yunxi, are you feeling better today?" A woman in her thirties stopped her on the road and asked.
Lin Yunxi recognized her neighbor Aunt Zhou and said with a smile, "Much better. Let's go pick up Yanyan and take her home."
"Okay, go ahead. I also have to go back and cook for the whole family. I really owe them something in my last life."
Aunt Zhou complained but kept walking as she hurried home.
After the two exchanged greetings, Lin Yunxi continued walking towards the old house. After a while, he saw a little man squatting outside the yard, poking the ground with a branch in his hand.
It was small and lonely, with its face red from the sun. Perhaps it was because it had accepted the memories of its original owner, and Lin Yunxi's eyes were tearful.
"Yanyan, go home for dinner." She walked gently to Gu Jiayan's side, squatted down, and said softly.
Hearing the voice, Gu Jiayan stopped what he was doing, raised his head and stared at Lin Yunxi blankly. In addition to confusion, there was also a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Lin Yunxi took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then gently held him in his arms.
Gu Jiayan couldn't even believe that his mother was hugging him. His whole body was stiff and he leaned in his mother's arms, not daring to move.
He raised his head and glanced at his mother secretly, then when Lin Yunxi looked over at him, he looked away as if trying to cover his ears and steal the bell.
Today's mother was very different from usual. She didn't scold him, nor did she dislike him for being dirty, Gu Jiayan thought to himself.
He raised his arms and tried to hug Lin Yunxi's neck, and saw that his mother did not refuse.
He softened again and leaned into his mother's arms, his arms around her neck, his little head resting on the crook of her neck, and rubbing it lovingly.
Lin Yunxi patted her son's back gently, but she secretly vowed in her heart that she must be a competent mother.
The two-year-old child was raised to be thin, weak, malnourished, with dry and yellow hair. He felt so light in the arms, which was heartbreaking to see.
In the yard, Gu's mother heard the noise at the door and came out of the kitchen, wiping her hands.
"Hey, why did you get out of bed? What if you get sick?" Seeing Lin Yunxi running out alone, Gu's mother blamed her.
Lin Yunxi felt warm in her heart, and she smiled and replied, "Mom, I'm almost well now. Yanyan, thank you for troubling me these two days."
