Chapter 146 Getting Up Early
But this is not a situation that can be ignored without looking.
This foreign body sensation is too obvious!
Zhao Yeqing kept brainwashing himself, male beauty misleads people, male beauty misleads people...
It was not until Mu Xi fell asleep for a while that the strength in his arm loosened. She felt as if she had been pardoned and quickly took his arm away from herself.
After this series of actions, she felt a familiar warm current when she stood up.
He quickly got out of bed, put on his coat, grabbed his things and ran to the bathroom.
After cleaning it up, Zhao Yeqing breathed a sigh of relief.
She immediately found an excuse for herself.
It's understandable. After all, it was a special period. No wonder she was almost blinded by the handsomeness of men.
One rare day she got up early and walked into the kitchen. The malt sugar was already in the jar, but the malt and glutinous rice in the basin had not been cleaned up yet.
This can be used as fertilizer or as feed for livestock.
There is no shortage of fertilizer for the time being, so I’m planting some onions, ginger, garlic and pea tips at home.
The vegetables in the vegetable garden at the back have all been frozen to death, but fortunately they have all become by-products.
I'm not sure if the residues can be fed to cattle and sheep, but it's fine if you have pigs at home, and pigs certainly aren't picky about it.
Now it can only be used to feed chickens.
The chicken coop is covered with hay to keep out the cold, and is surrounded by plastic sheets to prevent cold wind from blowing in. The chicken coop is also padded with straw to keep it warm.
She poured the malt residue into the trough of the chicken coop, took out the fresh eggs and closed the door of the chicken coop.
He frowned as he saw the animal footprints behind the chicken coop. It was difficult to find food in this season. The smell of the dog and leopard at home were covered by the snow, and this animal began to appear frequently nearby.
Fortunately, the entrance to the rabbit hole was covered with a wooden board, and the dog and leopard's rooms were facing the rabbit pen. When she went to feed the rabbits, she didn't see any footprints around.
It's safe for now.
She brought the hay to the sheepfold, where the sheep huddled together for warmth.
When they saw her bringing in food, they all rushed over to grab the food.
Zhao Yeqing paid special attention to several pregnant ewes, checked their mouths, hooves and ears, and only felt relieved to feed the cattle after finding no signs of disease.
The cowshed was a little more smelly than the sheep pen. After she put the grass into the trough, she took a bamboo rake, cleaned up the manure, and then re-laid some clean straw for the cows.
The cowshed is cleaned diligently and there are few flies in it, so the cows don’t have to work hard to clean their tails.
Only then did she notice the difference between the cow and the bull. The tails of the two bulls were placed vertically in the middle, while the cow's were tilted to one side.
As usual, she recorded the diet of the cattle and sheep, then washed her hands and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
I plan to make the highland barley pancakes that I didn’t eat yesterday.
A row of green onions and garlic were planted in the gaps next to the pea tips. Now the pea tips have grown to ten centimeters high, which is the right length and still tender. I can pick them and eat them blanched in the evening.
Zhao Yeqing used scissors to cut a handful of green onions and was about to go out when Mu Xi, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes dazedly, got out of bed, came over and hugged her waist, "Why did you get up?"
She complained in her heart that if she didn't get up now, she would never be able to get up again.
"I'm hungry, get up and get something to eat."
When Mu Xi got close to her, she was reminded of the scene when she woke up in the morning. Her ears turned red with discomfort and she pushed him away. "Wash up first, and you can eat in a while."
There are two ways to make highland barley pancakes, one is fermented and the other is not.
You still have to wait for fermentation, but the cake will be softer. The unfermented ones can be made directly and have a firmer texture.
Not wanting to go through so much trouble in the morning, Zhao Yeqing put the highland barley flour into a basin and added eggs and water to mix it.
Scallions are grown indoors. They don’t grow as well as those planted on the ground and are relatively thin, but they are fragrant.
Add the chopped green onion into the batter and mix evenly. Then wait for the oil in the pan to heat up and scoop the batter into the pan.
After Mu Xi finished washing up, the barley pancakes were ready.
The aroma of onion and wheat is mixed together, and the pancake is golden yellow. It tastes good, but a bit dry.
What I drink in the morning is either milk or soy milk, and we don’t have either at home.
I could only finish the biscuits and open the bag to check the remaining soybeans.
Two people carry things up the mountain from the foot of the mountain, and each person can only carry one backpack and one basket at a time.
The backpack is carried in front and the backpack is placed at the back.
It won’t work if the luggage is too heavy. It won’t be easy to walk if the luggage is too big. The mountain road is steep and if you carry too much luggage, you won’t be able to get home until dark.
The two of them only brought quilts, clothes, rice, flour, grain and oil. After several trips, they still only had a few supplies left.
There were less than ten pounds of soybeans, and Zhao Yeqing was thinking of saving them for planting in the spring.
It is indeed not very comfortable to eat only dry biscuits in the morning.
You can't drink white porridge every day.
Zhao Yeqing was rummaging through the dried goods in the house. In addition to some dried mushrooms, the original owner's stock also included a bag of day lilies.
When the weather is good on the meadow, you can often see day lilies everywhere, and the soup made from sheep bones is still frozen hard.
Ingredients at home can be combined to make a lamb version of Hu La Tang.
When she took out the ingredients, Mu Xi was already grinding flour in the yard. He had ground less flour yesterday, so he would grind a few dozen kilograms today and keep the rest to be steamed with rice.
Since he was not hungry after eating the pancake, Zhao Yeqing put the ingredients in the kitchen.
A piece of mutton still needs to be thawed. It is not easy to thaw in this weather, so I have to put it in the kitchen for a while. If it is not thawed by the afternoon, I have to soak it in warm water.
While Mu Xi was grinding flour, she told him about the footprints she saw in the morning, "They look like fox footprints, and there's more than one."
"The chicken coop is sealed tightly, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Zhao Yeqing was worried, so he went into the room and caught a few dogs, and had them mark a circle around the chicken coop.
It didn't snow these two days, so the snow melted a little and the cleared grass became wet.
When I got up in the morning, the ground was a little icy and I would slip if I wasn't careful when walking.
When Zhao Yeqing walked, he touched the ground with his toes and moved very carefully.
At this time, the disadvantages of building toilets and bathrooms outside appeared.
During her special period, she went to the toilet more frequently, and it was inevitable that she would slip when walking around.
"ah......"
Mu Xi was grinding flour when he heard the sound and ran over to see Zhao Yeqing fall into the snow.
He hurried forward to pull her out, brushed the snow off her face, and frowned, "Where did you fall? Does it hurt?"
Zhao Yeqing spat out the snow in his mouth, "I didn't get hurt, it was just too slippery."
At this point, the flour grinding work was completed. Mu Xi returned to the room and sewed the rabbit hair into Zhao Yeqing's boots.
Mu Xi dragged Zhao Yeqing into the room and took off her thick cotton shoes. "Wear boots from now on. They have rabbit fur sewn inside so you won't feel cold. They may be a little tighter than before."
Zhao Yeqing's boots are leather boots, made of hard leather. He has worn them for such a long time climbing mountains and descending hills, and they are not damaged at all. The soles are very non-slip. The only drawback is that they are very cold.
The hard skin was as cold as steel when it was blown by the cold wind outside.
It is sewn with thick rabbit fur inside, and except that it is half a size too small, everything else is impeccable.
