Chapter 120 119. Cowpea and Dream [Two in One]
Huai Yu thought about what Zhou Qian had said, and unconsciously, the supernatural power in his hands kept surging, until -
“Pah.”
The long tangled vines finally couldn't hold on after growing upwards, and they all fell on her head and face with a thud.
Because it was so long and tall, it was really hard to bear!
He knocked Huai Yu, who was squatting, to the ground.
She was dazed for a while before she withdrew her hand. Then she looked at the cowpea in front of her that was about to grow into a banyan tree, and her whole body felt numb.
Then he quickly got up and hurriedly spread the vines on the ground on the other side to avoid crushing the entire vegetable patch.
Now the question is, the cowpea vines that have grown are so long and big, and look very unusual at first glance. Should we cut them down directly?
But it has grown so big...
never mind.
Huai Yu glanced at the deserted wasteland and thought that since no one was coming now, he should just leave it like that.
The solar lamp was placed aside, attracting countless small flying insects to linger around. The vines crawling on the ground like a long dragon in front of me also slowly bloomed in the night.
Unfortunately, there are no bees or butterflies at the moment, so Huaiyu had to pull up some foxtail grass and pollinate the flowers bit by bit by himself.
So, inducing labor also depends on whether the plant has the ability to reproduce on its own, right?
While pollinating, she couldn't help but admire the scientists who studied plants.
Because according to her experience, animals and plants will show a certain degree of mutation after being induced to give birth.
However, the seeds of various fruits and vegetables that are allowed to circulate in the market are extremely stable no matter how they are stimulated.
For this ordinary stability, countless people must have put in unspeakable hard work.
She was turning over the vines in the night, as if she had the illusion that what she was looking at were not cowpeas but sweet potato vines.
Although the traits of these cowpeas are stable, their variation value is quite high. Huaiyu had no choice but to turn them over and purify them slowly, using these two abilities alternately.
By the time she realized she was tired, the vine in front of her had already spread several meters further. At the same time, the pollinated flowers had quickly withered and grown into long, tender green beans.
They were scattered on the grass along with the vines, like green tassels quietly growing in the night, with a unique beauty.
Looking at the other cowpeas that were still small seedlings, Huaiyu became happy again.
To have more beans than she could eat in the whole summer was such a blessing for her now! She went back to the house and brought out another basket. She picked two baskets of beans from a vine that had grown rapidly.
There is a bunch here, and there is a bunch there... You can never pick them all, you can never pick them all!
She seemed like a landlord who had secretly made a fortune in the middle of the night, thinking about how to stir-fry the remaining cowpeas with meat tomorrow, and then thinking about whether to pickle the remaining cowpeas or dry them into dried cowpeas...
The more he looked, the more he imagined a good harvest. When Huaiyu was about to go back with the basket in his hand, he remembered again -
If I want to pickle sour beans, I don’t have the container to store the vegetables.
There are still several days until the end of Labor Day, so it seems that it is impossible to pickle beans. Let's dry them first. Anyway, beans can grow continuously throughout the summer, so it doesn't matter if we wait a little longer.
She was thinking about what she had to do tomorrow, and thought about the fact that the buses were running less frequently than usual, so she washed and sorted the beans.
There was no one in this wilderness. The faint fragrance of the rose corridor floated quietly, and the flashlight emitted the last glimmer of light that was unable to bear the weight.
Huai Yu squatted under a barnyard tree in the dark night, washing beans. Even the chirping of insects seemed sparse.
Perhaps she was too tired, and she had another dream that night.
In the dream, there were bustling streets, and rows of shops of all kinds were shining with a hazy light. The air seemed to be filled with all kinds of flavors: sweet, salty, fragrant and spicy.
Huaiyu tried hard to open her eyes wide in her dream, trying to see clearly what was written on the sign. No matter whether it was milk tea or roasted pork trotters, it made her drool in her dream.
But the dream was not under her control.
After the scene flashed by quickly like a kaleidoscope, the picture froze on a man and a woman. It was also blurry and her faces could not be seen clearly. She only vaguely knew that they were still very young, probably around 20 years old, not much more mature than she is now.
Among them, the young boy whose face could not be seen clearly was full of student youth. He was carrying milk tea out of the store at this moment, and then happily walked to the girl waiting on the roadside: "...New milk tea, I heard from the girls in the class that this one tastes very good, please have some!"
The boy's words and actions were full of youth and confidence, and his action of handing over the milk tea was particularly natural and free and easy.
There is a beautiful painting on the round milk tea cup, and the straw has been considerately inserted into it. I dare not imagine what kind of mellow taste is underneath.
Huaiyu really wanted to go up and have a sip!! On the other hand, the girl whose face he couldn't see clearly was a little embarrassed: "Thank you, I said I would treat you, and now I'm letting you spend money again."
She whispered, then slowly took the cup of milk tea, and was stunned by the label on the cup.
"This one costs 39?!"
It’s too expensive.
She murmured, and in her blurred figure, she was still wearing a pair of washed-out canvas shoes. Even in her dream, Huaiyu knew that the shoes must not cost more than 20 yuan.
[It's so weird, 39's milk tea appeared in my dream, but I was not allowed to taste it. What does that mean? ]
Huaiyu muttered in his dream.
Somehow, everything that happened before her eyes seemed like a movie to her, but sometimes, she could empathize with the girl's feelings -
Could this be my past? Wow, isn't it a bit miserable? It looks as poor as it is now! The boy opposite laughed:
"It's a little expensive. But don't you girls like this? Come on, drink it. I picked it especially for you."
"Besides, how can we let a girl pay for dinner?"
The girl opposite smiled, then cautiously put the straw into her mouth and took a sip.
When the warm milk tea entered her mouth, Huaiyu smacked her lips in her sleep. She clearly didn't drink it, but she seemed to be able to tell the taste of the milk tea.
The rich aroma of fresh milk and the fresh fragrance of tea tasted quite good, but more than that... she couldn't taste anything else.
Just thinking about this cup costing 39, I feel a little heartbroken.
The boy opposite her couldn't help laughing when he saw her drinking milk tea silently.
"You still think it's expensive? You really know how to live a good life! If my mother saw you, she would definitely like you very much."
The girl opposite blushed slightly.
The boy was holding the milk tea and looking at her, and he was also stunned at this moment.
After a while, his cheeks turned red. He looked around and didn't dare to look at her. But when the girl opposite looked at him curiously, he suddenly plucked up the courage and said, "Huai Yu, be my girlfriend..."
"!!!"
Huaiyu woke up from her dream. The figure sitting on the bed looked more resentful than a female ghost! I actually already have a boyfriend!!!
So shocking, so incredible!
She hadn't even had a sip of milk tea yet, and she didn't know what the person opposite her looked like, but she saw that he was of a decent height and had a decent voice...
But!!! Was that her past? A boyfriend who was just okay? And a life as poor as now? But why did she not feel anything when she thought about it now? She even felt a little irritated! She scratched her hair and pounded the quilt in frustration and anger in the middle of the night——
I remember the past! It's all in a dream! Who wants to hear a confession? Can't we go to a fried chicken shop and have a bite first?! So angry!
She sighed deeply and lay down again. She wanted to try to recall the details to see if she could find evidence that the girl was her, or what her boyfriend looked like. However, she fell into a deep sleep as soon as she lay down.
The night wind rustled the bamboo leaves in the backyard, making a soothing rustling sound. Not far away, pink and white rose petals were flying in the air, and a lingering fragrance floated in the air.
…
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When Huaiyu woke up in the morning, she still remembered the regret she had in the middle of the night, but she couldn't even remember the names of those snack bars. Then she thought about her life now...
Let alone milk tea, you have to earn your own living to drink clean water! So what does a 39 yuan cup of milk tea taste like? Why was she so incompetent before? Couldn't she make some money?
With all these thoughts in mind, Huai Yu got up early. Before the sun rose completely, she had to drag the thin bamboo poles she had packed earlier to the vegetable garden so that she could build racks for the vines.
As for the dragon-like cowpea that was overgrown last night...
Forget it, let it just lie quietly on the grass. There is really no bamboo that is so thick and supportive.
Even if there was, she alone wouldn't be able to successfully secure it to the ground and hold up the cowpea vines.
The shelf had just been set up when Kataro with a colorful black shell quickly crawled over from a distance.
After crawling to the edge of the vegetable field, it stood up on its hind legs skillfully, and then bent its tentacles towards the cowpeas in front of it, seeming to be quite interested.
I don't know why, but seeing Kataro eager to work early in the morning, Huaiyu felt in a good mood! Just one night had passed, and two more vines that had not been plucked last night were found on the vines.
She generously handed them all over, "Here, give it to us, Taro, try it and see if you like it."
Although Kataro's two front paws had also mutated along with his body, they were obviously still unable to catch the two heavy handfuls of fresh cowpeas.
As soon as Huai Yu let go, the dog turned upside down and started kicking in vain while holding onto the cowpea.
The bare back of the carapace swayed left and right on the grass, and it failed to turn over for a long time.
Huaiyu: “…Hahahahahaha!”
Sorry, she really wanted to hold it back and give Kataro some dignity.
Fortunately, Kataro is a kind and broad-minded man. Even after Huaiyu laughed loudly, when it was picked up again and got out of the predicament, when it looked at the two handfuls of cowpeas in front of it, it once again concentrated on today's work on the new species.
Kataro has already started working, so Huaiyu cannot slack off on his tasks today.
After she simply built the bamboo rack, she went back to take out the cowpeas she had processed last night and placed them on the rack to dry one by one. Then she started to think about today's patient meal.
There wasn't much flour left, so how about eating rice today? He steamed a pot of rice first - unfortunately, the rice soup from old rice didn't have that strong aroma, so Huaiyu could only keep it for himself.
Fortunately, if the rice is simmered for a while longer, it will produce fragrant and crispy rice crust.
Just enough for Zhou Qian! Then we'll make a large-capacity meal for the sick.
The cowpeas are chopped into small pieces, and the lard residue is also chopped into small pieces. After the oil is fried in the pot, the cowpeas are added...
Even though there is no seasoning now, and just some salt sprinkled on top, you can still feel the different deliciousness when you put the purified ingredients in your mouth.
After the meal was ready, Huaiyu looked around the house and finally picked out a stainless steel basin with a moderate capacity...
…
In the ward, Zhou Qian was once again at a loss for words.
"Sick meal... there's no need to be so exaggerated!"
In front of him was a stainless steel basin, which Huaiyu had just taken out from under the blanket. He untied the sealed plastic bag, revealing enough food for three people underneath.
He thought for a moment and then asked, "You didn't eat either? Together?"
"No, no." Huaiyu shook his head: "I came here after I ate. These are all for you. You have lost so much blood, eat more to replenish yourself!"
Zhou Qian looked down at the bowl again, but Huaiyu had already handed him a spoon: "Eat quickly, I did a good job of keeping it warm today, it should still be hot."
Zhou Qian thought about the delicious meal he had yesterday, and smelled the rich aroma in front of him. He felt confident at this moment: "I should be able to finish it."
He scooped a spoonful of food into his mouth. The rich aroma of lard mixed with the chopped beans, and paired with the equally sweet rice, with a delicious taste that had a mutation value absolutely below 5, no one could resist this taste.
Zhou Qian only had time to look up and say, "Is the ward door closed? Don't let the smell get out."
“Closed.”
Huaiyu lay on the bedside and watched him eat the fragrant rice. Somehow, he remembered the spiritual food on his bedside table.
What’s it called?
"Postpartum Care for Sows..." Bah, bah, bah, no! It's "One Litter, Eight Treasures: The Domineering Control of the Innocent Girl"! In the story, the heroine feels happy from the bottom of her heart when she sees the piglets eating. She seems to have that kind of happiness now...
As Zhou Qian was eating, he felt that Huaiyu's eyes had become very strange, making it difficult for him to swallow for a moment.
After thinking for a while, he praised: "You are really good at cooking."
Huaiyu was proud: "Of course! Don't you see who I am? Is there anything I can't do?"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhou Qian also laughed, and then buried his head in eating again. After all, it was such a big pot, so he had to eat it quickly.
Just as he put a big bite into his mouth, he suddenly heard Huai Yu say: "I had a dream last night. It seemed like I dreamed about the past. In the dream, there was milk tea, roasted pig's trotters, fried chicken, and grilled skewers! And... Zhou Qian, it turns out that I have a boyfriend!"
"Puh, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!"
The early update next door failed, please read it tomorrow morning. I may not be able to finish it in the early morning, I am so sleepy.
Good night.
