Chapter 112
Lingyi and the others were not at home, so He Qin had to move the things by himself. Lu Xiaobai ate a few bites of peanuts and obediently helped to carry some light things in.
After the two of them finished moving, He Qin began to count.
There was a big bag of sweet potatoes, a big bag of peanuts, three small bags of onions, ginger, and garlic, a bag of soybeans, a bag of wheat, and even walnuts...
Looking at these, He Qin subconsciously felt that Lu Xiaobai would not starve, which was good.
But when he turned around, he became a little confused: "If you can take these out, why didn't you take them out before?"
He didn't want to use Lu Xiaobai's things to fulfill his responsibilities, but he didn't want Lu Xiaobai to starve.
Due to food shortage, all the wild vegetables on the mountain had been dug up, and pheasants and rabbits were no longer seen. Lu Xiaobai had not had any tonic food for a long time.
“I couldn’t get it out before.”
Lu Xiaobai was struggling with a walnut. He couldn't crack it open and was about to pick up a stone in the yard to smash it. He Qin took the walnut from his hand and broke it with a light squeeze.
Then He Qin handed the walnut to Lu Xiaobai.
Lu Xiaobai looked at the walnut that he had been biting for a long time but couldn't open, and He Qin just pinched it and it was done.
I was a little surprised and thought: So fast and so simple?
He was stunned for a moment before taking the walnuts from He Qin's hand. Then he grabbed another handful and put them into He Qin's hand and said, "Pinch them again."
He Qin pulled Lu Xiaobai to sit down, and while pinching walnuts for him, he asked, "You couldn't take it out before, was it because you gave all the seeds to Bei Li?"
Lu Xiaobai took a bite of the walnut and it was really delicious. He hadn't eaten these for a long time.
He Qin kept pinching walnuts for him, and he kept eating them, saying as he ate, "Yeah, my previous planting... I gave everything to Bei Li before, so I couldn't give anything out later."
He Qin didn't know why Lu Xiaobai could take it out.
But if there are restrictions, will it cause harm to Lu Xiaobai's body?
He frowned and asked anxiously, "How can we do this now?"
"Now……"
Lu Xiaobai thought for a moment and said, "It should be the corn or cotton that's blooming. Let's wait a little longer until the rice blooms. I can probably get more out."
There are three waves of planting coins to harvest. This is only the second wave. When it becomes a fully mature wave, it is estimated that there will be more.
Moreover, Xiaobaicai was very quiet, so he often forgot about it. If Xiaobaicai hadn't reminded him that the planting coins had been harvested, he would have continued to starve.
Having said that, we should also thank Xiaobaicai.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaobai hurriedly thanked Xiao Baicai in his mind.
Xiao Baicai smiled happily: [No need to thank me, as long as the host is happy.]
He Qin nodded and said, "Yes, the corn has indeed bloomed and has sprouted red tassels. Pollination will begin in the next few days, and in half a month, we'll have fresh corn to eat."
Only half a month left!
Hearing such good news, Lu Xiaobai felt very proud and happily took a piece of walnut kernel to He Qin: "You eat it too."
He Qin opened his mouth and ate the walnut kernel and said, "You are the one sent by God to save Nan He."
This wasn't the first time He Qin had said this, but it was the first time Lu Xiaobai blushed because of it. He said a little embarrassedly, "I'm not that great. I'm just a porter."
If it weren't for Xiao Baicai and He Qin, he might have died long ago.
He Qin didn't understand what he said. He turned around and looked at the bag of sweet potatoes and said, "When Ling Si comes back soon, ask him to make you some sweet potato cakes. Do you want some?"
Lu Xiaobai had lived in the city since childhood and knew nothing about country food, let alone ancient food. He subconsciously put down the walnuts, looked at He Qin curiously and asked, "What are sweet potato cakes?"
He Qin was silent.
Because he didn't know what it was.
It was just what I heard when I was out gaining experience and passing by a farmer's house where he was exchanging money for food.
But at that time, the host had food and he had a lot of money, so they cooked a bowl of rice for him and didn't give him the inferior sweet potato cake.
Seeing that He Qin didn't speak for a long time, Lu Xiaobai urged curiously: "What is it? Why don't you say anything?"
He Qin looked a little embarrassed: "I don't know either. I'll just ask Ling Si and the others to do it later."
They also have wheat, which they can grind into flour and make noodles for Lu Xiaobai.
As they were talking, Lingyi and the others had finished their work and returned.
Lingyi stood in the distance and looked at the kitchen door, then turned around and went into the room to rest.
Ling Si went into the kitchen to drink some water, then take a break and prepare lunch.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a lot of sacks piled on the kitchen floor. If he didn't know that there was nothing to buy in the town, he would have suspected that his masters had gone to the town to buy things.
Ling Si looked at Lu Xiaobai who was eating walnuts and asked in surprise: "These are all Master Xiaobai..."
Lu nodded and said seriously, "Well, we don't have to starve anymore. Not only me, but our whole family doesn't have to starve anymore. We don't have to eat such disgusting corn anymore."
Only they can still eat corn rice, now everyone is eating corn porridge.
Moreover, although he never said that he was able to get the seeds, Ling Si and the others all knew that these were taken by Lu Xiaobai, but they just kept it to themselves and never said it out loud.
Therefore, Lu Xiaobai had no way of hiding it from him. He had a lot of planting coins anyway, which was enough to feed the six of them noodles for a few months.
A family?
When Ling Si heard this, he laughed softly. If his status allowed it, he really wanted to rub Lu Xiaobai's head. He was so well-behaved.
But now, he could only lower his head to check the contents of his pockets, and then said: "Although we have wheat and beans, we definitely can't eat noodles in the near future because we don't have a stone mill at home, and grinding it outside is not very good either. So, we need to make a stone mill ourselves."
Lu Xiaobai nodded: "Yes, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry."
He had been eating porridge and brown rice for so many days, and sometimes even had to eat corn, so he didn't care about these few days.
While eating walnuts, Lu Xiaobai said, "Brother Ling Si, I have some peanuts and walnuts here. You can give some to them."
Although Lu Xiaobai can't work, he treats them like family and never puts on airs.
If today's Lu Xiaobai was replaced by Feng An, I'm afraid that there would have been a huge uproar.
Ling Si curled his lips and said, "Thank you, Master Xiaobai."
After saying that, Ling Si took some walnuts and went out.
He Qin's face looked a little ugly. Although Lu Xiaobai only treated Zero Four and the others as family members and brothers, he was still not very happy.
Lu Xiaobai ate some walnuts, then frowned and asked, "He Qin, can you fry the peanuts? They're not very tasty raw."
He Qin nodded immediately: "Okay, ask Ling Si to come and fry it."
He Qin sighed helplessly. He actually wanted Lu Xiaobai to only have eyes for him and depend on him.
But he also knew that it would not be good for Lu Xiaobai.
He Qin touched Lu Xiaobai's hair and said, "You are so good, I really want to hide you."
Don't be wary of anyone and be nice to everyone.
Of course, except for those two guys Li Yuan and Feng An.
Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai surprisingly did not feel disgusted. Instead, he stopped chewing and thought for a moment before saying, "You've already hidden it."
He Qin: "Hmm?"
Lu Xiaobai looked at him angrily, puffing his cheeks and saying angrily, "I'm such a good teenager, but I'm buried in this poor little mountain village. Doesn't that count as being hidden by you?"
After Ling Si finished dividing the walnuts, he heard these two sentences as he walked in. He coughed helplessly and said, "Master, I have to cook now."
So don't be so annoying, there are other people in the room.
Seeing Ling Si coming, Lu Xiaobai's face instantly turned red. He stood up uncomfortably and ran to Ling Si, offering him the peanuts. "Brother Ling Si, can you fry some for me? This one isn't tasty. Also, He Qin said you can make sweet potato cakes, I want some."
Ling Si could understand the first part, but what did the second part mean?
Sweet potato cake?
Ling Si's expression cracked for a moment, and he asked cautiously, "Sweet potato cake?"
Lu Xiaobai nodded firmly: "Yes!"
Looking at Ling Si's bewildered expression, He Qin couldn't suppress the smile on his face as he remembered what Lu Xiaobai said about him hiding it. He coughed and stood up, saying, "Find a way to make it yourself."
Ling Si quickly raised his hand and saluted: "Yes!"
Then he took the bag of peanuts from Lu Xiaobai and said, "I'll fry them. Master Xiaobai, you go and rest first."
"Thank you, Brother Zero Four."
After Lu Xiaobai thanked him, he ran away happily and was finally dragged out by He Qin.
As soon as they left, Zero Two slipped into the kitchen.
Because the cooking skills of the others are not as good as Lingsi, Lingsi is the one who cooks and the others take turns washing the dishes.
But he really doesn’t know how to make sweet potato cakes today.
His ancestors were doctors and he grew up in the imperial city. Apart from medicines, he didn't know much about other foods.
Zero Four looked at Sweet Potato in embarrassment, not knowing what to do. Just as he was thinking about whether to go outside and ask the villagers, Zero Two suddenly jumped out: "You don't know what to do, right?"
Zero Four: ...
"I know!"
Ling Er sat in front of the stove with a smug look on his face, folded his hands and said, "Please beg me, beg me, and I will tell you."
Ling Si glanced at him, then turned and left.
Because in his eyes, Zero Two's words are basically unreliable.
But as soon as he turned around, Ling Er hurried over and grabbed him: "Don't go, I really know. Forget it, don't beg me. Just hide some sweet potato cakes for me secretly, and I will tell you."
Hearing this, Ling Si looked at the sweet potatoes on the ground. There were a lot of them, so it was no problem to hide some.
So he nodded: "Okay, you say."
Ling Er then said, "My father likes to eat this. It's really delicious. But the method is a bit complicated. First, you have to peel the sweet potatoes and boil them. Then add flour and mix well. Add some salt and fry it in a pan..."
There was some flour left from making noodles for Lu Xiaobai last time, and it was perfect for making sweet potato cakes this time.
0402 The two were busy in the kitchen. Lu Xiaobai was drowsy in He Qin's arms. The two sat in the pergola. He Qin touched Lu Xiaobai's belly tenderly and chuckled softly, "I hope time passes quickly."
This way, they can watch over their children.
But Lu Xiaobai, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in panic: "He Qin!"
He Qin: "What's wrong?"
Lu Xiaobai frowned, looked at He Qin helplessly, pouted his lips, and said aggrievedly, "I feel a little uncomfortable."
He Qin sat up straight instantly and asked anxiously, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
When talking about the discomfort there, Lu Xiaobai burst into tears.
He raised his hand and pointed at his chest, and said a little collapsedly: "Chest, I always feel itchy recently, and sometimes it hurts. I, I..."
Is she sick, or is she really producing milk like they say?
Lu Xiaobai didn’t pay much attention to it before, but this feeling has become more and more obvious in the past two days. It started to itch again just now, and he was planning to scratch it.
But as soon as he raised his hand, he suddenly remembered the word "milk production" and immediately felt unwell.
He looked at He Qin helplessly and cried, "It's only been four or five months, why, why do I feel this way?"
