This morning, Lu Changge was awakened by locusts outside the house.
The buzzing sound of the wings flapping is like magic in the ears.
Yesterday at midnight, Lu Changge could even hear the sound of locusts hitting the windows and doors.
His wife was a light sleeper and was woken up several times.
After being woken up, Lu Changge did not get up, but lay in bed and started signing in for today.
[System, sign in.]
[Ding—Successfully signed in on the forty-fifth day of fleeing famine, and received sign-in rewards: three pounds of rice, one cabbage, and three chicken leg mushrooms.
Get a reward for signing in for 30 consecutive days: unlimited water storage buckets.
The reward has been placed in the system space. 】
When Lu Changge saw the reward for consecutive sign-ins, he realized that he had signed in for 30 consecutive days.
Today is the day to claim your consecutive sign-in rewards.
Lu Changge got up from the bed and went out of the house to take out the water bucket.
Looking from left to right, I can't see any difference from an ordinary bucket.
He took out the instructions and after reading them, Lu Changge finally understood its use.
An infinite water storage bucket, as the name suggests, can store unlimited water.
However, this is also conditional.
After the water in the bucket is emptied, you have to wait half an hour before the bucket can be refilled.
[During this half hour, did the water come out little by little, or did it only appear after half an hour?]
[Uh...how about you give it a try, host?] The system suggested hesitantly.
After hearing what the system said, Lu Changge was speechless.
[Are you just picking up something to fool me?]
[Who…who fooled you! How do I know how it stores water when I haven’t used it before?]
The system said loudly, but it sounded a bit pretentious.
Lu Changge didn't get to the bottom of the matter and just put the water bucket on the ground.
Then water began to bubble up in the bucket at a speed visible to the naked eye. Within a few breaths, the bucket was full of water.
When the water was full, Lu Changge poured the water into the water tank next to it and then took it into the kitchen.
During the half-hour waiting time, Lu Changge was not idle and made breakfast.
I scooped two bowls of flour, added water and kneaded it into a dough, and finally made five big steamed buns.
I washed five sweet potatoes and three eggs and steamed them together on the bottom layer of the steamer.
[Er Teng, come and watch the fire.]
[Here I come!] Er Teng sneaked into the kitchen through the window crack.
After lighting the fire, Lu Changge started to cook rice porridge.
As he passed by, Lu Changge took a look at the water barrel next to him and found that some water had already come out of the barrel.
From this we can conclude that water comes out of the bucket little by little and it just takes half an hour.
After his guess was confirmed, Lu Changge began to concentrate on making breakfast.
Lu Changge likes to use raw rice when making porridge, so that the porridge soup is as thick as paste, and the rice grains are as soft as flowers.
Take a sip and it's rich, fragrant and smooth, and the taste is better than porridge made from rice.
After boiling the rice with water, add pitted red dates and simmer over low heat.
Then, the rest of the work is left to Nido.
[Stir well to prevent the porridge from getting stuck in the pot.]
[Good Master!]
The second vine gave rise to two more vines, one of which was a thin vine that was wrapped around a wooden spoon and began to stir.
At the same time, you also need to pay attention to the fire. If the fire is not enough, add some firewood from another vine.
Lu Changge went out for a while and came back with a basin of goat milk in his hand.
Wash the milk pot, pour the goat milk into it, add two spoons of sugar and start cooking.
Of course, it was Er Teng who was still watching the fire.
The second vine has now split into four vines. Of course, there are also many vines flying in the air, cleaning the kitchen.
This scene is like a mad dance.
I have to say that Er Teng is indeed a little expert in the kitchen.
Nito forced to open: crying cat head.jpg
When will the owner let it switch jobs with Da Teng?
After handing the kitchen over to Er Teng, Lu Changge went out to rinse his teeth and wash his face.
I looked up at the sky for a while and found that it was filled with swarms of locusts.
It was like a large hollow black cloth covering the sky, even blocking some of the sunlight.
There is an atmosphere as if a dark cloud is looming over the city and is about to destroy it.
The number of locusts in the yard was several times more than before.
Except for the half-meter vacuum zone around Lu Changge, the rest was filled with flying locusts.
The flowers of the two flowering fruit trees in the yard have been eaten, and most of the leaves have also been eaten.
In order not to attract other people's attention, the big vine retracted its branches, so the vines on the courtyard wall were not spared.
[System, a locust plague broke out?]
[Yes, the situation outside is even more terrifying.] The system said.
[fear?]
Lu Changge raised his eyebrows slightly. Is this scary?
[This level of stigma is not terrifying, but it is a bit disgusting.]
After washing his face, Lu Changge walked into the kitchen and asked.
[System, do you have a water storage bucket?]
[Didn’t I just give you a water bucket? Do you want more? ! No!] The system rejected it decisively.
[I want a regular water storage bucket that can hold water, understand?]
[Ah? Oh! I see. I have plenty of these! Host, tell me, how many do you want?] The system smiled awkwardly.
[Then give me 10,000 first.] Army Chief Goss had no idea what it meant to ask for too much.
[What? Get out! !]
In the end, Lu Changge still got 600 ordinary water buckets sponsored by the system, which reduced the water consumption by more than ten times.
In the kitchen, Lu Changge was bargaining with the system while serving porridge.
After all, six hundred is too few.
However, before he could come to a conclusion with the system, he heard little Tuanzi's cry for help from the bedroom.
Lu Changge put down his things and hurried over without thinking.
…
I only ate half a bowl of rice last night, and the little dumpling woke up because he was hungry.
The hungry little dumpling was not very clear-headed at this moment.
When I saw that my dad wasn't there, I crawled to the end of the bed and slid out of it.
I put on my shoes and staggered to the door.
Then he opened the door without thinking.
As soon as the door opened, the locusts outside flew in, scaring the little girl so much that she woke up all of a sudden.
It turned out that little Tuanzi only ate half a bowl of rice last night because he was scared by the locusts.
Seeing a lot of bugs flying in and thinking that his grandfather was still sleeping in bed, the little girl suddenly panicked.
Wuwu...My father is going to be eaten by bugs!
"Daddy--! Wuwu... Where is Daddy's disgusting?! My father is going to be eaten by bugs!!"
Seeing that the bed curtains were slightly opened, the little girl was afraid that a bug might fly in, so she ran over with her short legs.
When Lu Changge heard Tuanzi's cry and ran over, he saw the little kid with his head buried in the bed curtains and his little butt sticking out.
Lu Changge was a little amused, but he still drove out the locusts that flew in and closed the door.
"Tuanzi, you can come out now."
"Woo woo... No, there are bugs." The little dumpling shivered and didn't dare to lift the bed curtain above his head.
"No, Chong Chong was chased away by Daddy." Lu Changge squatted beside him and coaxed.
"Really?" Little Dumpling was a little hesitant.
At this time, Su Qingyun, who was lying on the bed, woke up.
Su Qingyun was puzzled when she saw Tuanzi lying on the edge of the bed with both hands tightly holding the bed curtains.
"Tuanzi, what's wrong?"
"Woo woo...Mom, there are bugs flying in. It's so scary..." When the little dumpling heard his father's voice, he let go of his hand and climbed onto the bed.
Lu Changge took the opportunity to pull open the bed curtain.
"How did a bug fly in?" Su Qingyun sat up and asked in confusion.
"Um..." Tuanzi buried her face in the quilt, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Get up and have breakfast." Seeing that the kid was embarrassed, Lu Changge changed the subject.
Finally, it was Lu Changge who brought in the water for the father and son to wash.
Little Tuanzi, who already has a psychological trauma about locusts, now dares not step out of the house.
I didn't even dare to open the door, for fear that bugs would fly in as soon as the door was opened.
After washing up, Lu Changge took the water out and soon brought in breakfast.
At this time, the little dumpling was already sitting obediently on the chair.
"Daddy, I'm so hungry." The little girl looked at her daddy eagerly.
"Have some porridge first." Lu Changge served him half a bowl of red date porridge.
The little girl dragged the bowl over, scooped a full spoonful of food, and stuffed it all into her mouth in one gulp.
Lu Changge first scooped a bowl of red date porridge for his wife, and gave each of them a sweet potato.
Then he peeled the eggs for the father and son and poured each of them a bowl of goat's milk.
The rest belongs to Lu Changge.
Five big steamed buns, three sweet potatoes, an egg, and three big bowls of porridge.
He didn't drink the goat's milk and left it for the father and son.
"I'm going to town later. Do you want to buy anything?"
Lu Changge asked as he ate steamed bread with diced radish.
"Please buy some cotton cloth. Tuanzi's clothes don't fit her anymore."
Children grow quickly, and Tuanzi’s clothes were already too short, almost revealing half of her arms.
"Tanghulu... Daddy, I miss Tanghulu..." The little dumpling said in a vague voice while chewing on a sweet potato.
"Okay, I'll buy it for you."
Su Qingyun asked again, "My husband, what are you doing in the town?"
"There have been a lot of locusts these days. I'm going to buy some bamboo curtains to surround the corridor."
Their house consists of the main house, the main hall and Tuanzi's western wing facing due north.
The kitchen and bathroom on the west side of the courtyard wall are connected by a long corridor.
It was built like this originally so that people could walk in and out on rainy days without having to go through the hassle of holding an umbrella.
Now, this matter has become more convenient.
Buy some bamboo curtains and hang them up, then pull them down completely to keep the locusts out.
