Chapter 60

Lin Haiyang was also obedient. He got off their boat and went to his own boat, raised the anchor, and paddled over from the side until the two boats' floating boards touched each other, then he put the anchor down again.

This time, he didn't even need to get off the boat, he just jumped onto Qiao Sheng's boat with a big leap.

Qiao Sheng was lying on the sofa on the second floor, gasping for breath, and Li Mu was busy washing vegetables and chopping meat in the kitchen. This was what Lin Haiyang saw when he came over.

He first asked about his sister Qiao's condition. It was confirmed that she was tired. She hadn't run that much for a long time, and her lung capacity couldn't keep up. Now her lungs were like bellows. She was busy killing wild boars before, and the amount of activity was quite large. She was asked to take off her rabbit fur hat and put it in her wrist bag. There was no problem with her head, but her ears hurt, as if they were frozen, and she was dizzy.

She wanted to lie down in the greenhouse, but Li Mu didn't let her go, saying that she should recover outside before going in, otherwise her ears couldn't bear it, so she was paralyzed on the sofa and dazed.

Lin Haiyang entered the kitchen and asked what dinner was for. He knew Li Mu's cooking skills, and he didn't want to expose them, so he frankly said to keep it simple and have a hot pot.

For lunch, they had spicy hot pot. Lin Haiyang also wanted to show off his cooking skills, so he asked if they wanted to have pickled fish hot pot. Qiao Sheng had made pickled cabbage yesterday, so there must be more. Just one fish would be enough.

Li Mu had no opinion on what happened in the kitchen. He ate whatever others cooked. He couldn't do the work of a chef, but he was familiar with helping out by washing vegetables and delivering ingredients.

Qiao Sheng skillfully took the fish from the storage box and cleaned it. He also specially chose black fish because it had few bones. Given Qiao Sheng's current condition, asking her to pick bones and eat fish would be like pouring oil on the fire.

He also knew where the water tank for pickled cabbage was. He asked Lin Haiyang how much he wanted, took a small iron basin and brought it back. Then he was responsible for picking vegetables, washing vegetables, cutting meat, and putting them in basins, and putting them all on the small kang table in the greenhouse.

When he passed by Qiao Sheng, he touched her ears and asked her how she felt. Qiao Sheng said weakly that she still wanted to vomit and her ears were itchy.

After confirming that the temperature in the greenhouse had risen, he brought her a cotton towel and dry clothes, asked her to go into the greenhouse, take off her sweaty clothes, change into dry clothes, and rest inside.

Qiao Sheng stood up and went into the warm room. Li Mu and Lin Haiyang continued to work in the kitchen. When the pot bottom was ready, they knocked on the door of the warm room. After Qiao Sheng's reply, they opened the door and put down all the ingredients. They took hot water and clothes to the bathroom on the first floor, wiped themselves clean, and washed their hair. Then they ran back to the warm room.

Qiao Sheng looked at the two men who were still dripping with water, and couldn't help asking them if they didn't know to wipe their heads with a cloth. Li Mu took the cotton towel on the pillow and started to wipe his hair.

It was too late to stop him. Facing Qiao Sheng's Erkang hand, Lin Haiyang was very gossipy. He asked what was wrong, which made Li Mu throw a pillow towel on his face and successfully shut him up.

"I just changed this pillowcase. Wipe your hair well and don't drop water on the bedding." Li Mu also found out that he had taken the wrong one. He thought he had taken his own pillowcase, until Lin Haiyang asked what was wrong. He looked down and saw that there was another pillowcase on the pillow. The one he had taken was from another pillow next to him.

Qiao Sheng felt that she was so stupid at this moment. Even if she was dizzy just now, she shouldn't have put the used cotton towel on the pillow. In fact, she really didn't mean to do it. The cotton towel was also placed on her own pillow. Because they had to eat soon, considering that the two men would come in and sit on both sides of the kang table, Qiao Sheng moved to the innermost part and lay down.

The two usually sleep with their heads facing the wooden wall. Qiao Sheng sleeps at the head of the kang next to the kitchen, and Li Mu sleeps at the end of the kang. Now she lies sideways on the side where the two usually sleep, and can't stretch her feet on other people's pillows, so she pulls her pillow over to lie down, so the cotton towel she used to wipe her sweat is placed on her pillow. Li Mu didn't expect her pillow to be here, so he just grabbed it.

This oolong simply rushed all the coincidences together. Seeing Li Mu whitewashing the situation, drying his hair and putting the cotton towel aside, Qiao Sheng quickly called everyone to eat.

It's true that Lin Haiyang's culinary talent has been fully utilized. The pickled fish tastes really good. He is more willing to cook when he hears people praise him. This meal was eaten cleanly. Qiao Sheng was supposed to do the job of washing the dishes, but they took it over.

Putting on cotton clothes and carrying pots and bowls, they went to the kitchen. When they passed the terrace, they stopped.

"Oh my god, what is that on the shore? Why is it so green?" Lin Haiyang couldn't help but exclaimed.

"It should be the wolf we saw just now. When we ran, the leader of the wolves was staring at us." Li Mu watched for a while, then went into the kitchen to get water and wash the dishes.

Qiao Sheng heard the sound and put on his clothes and came out to take a look. It was too dark, and dozens of eyes were staring at them, which was a bit intrusive.

After packing up, they were not going to work tonight. Everyone was a little exhausted. Lin Haiyang jumped back to his own boat from Qiao Sheng's boat. Then he realized why Teacher Li asked him to row the boat over before dinner. This was calculated that the group of wild wolves would come. After a

tiring day, the three fell asleep early, but the howling of wolves outside was a bit annoying. They just fell asleep and there was a roar.

When she got up in the morning, Qiao Sheng touched her cotton coat that had already dried through. This thing couldn't be washed, so she went to the storage room and took out two more pieces. She wore one and gave the other to Li Mu. Then she hung the cotton coats that had been dried on the kang on the drying rack outside. Although the weather was a little cold, there was still plenty of sunshine. The cotton coats couldn't be washed, but at least they could be dried in the sun so that they would be more comfortable to wear later.

Li Mu knew how to make cornmeal porridge, so he called Lin Haiyang and told him to stop cooking and come over in the morning to have porridge and roasted sweet potatoes. He also cut some pickled mustard greens from the previous day, soaked and cut dried radish strips, and made spicy radish strips. Lin Haiyang was given the job of preparing pickled vegetables, and Li Mu was in charge of roasted sweet potatoes and cornmeal porridge, which did not require any seasoning.

Qiao Sheng came back from feeding the animals downstairs and went into the greenhouse. The two men busy in the kitchen quickly brought in breakfast.

"The wolf howled all night, and they are a little stupid after being tied up. But the cassock cub is jumping in the den, trying to try. Doesn't it know itself well enough? How dare it jump like that?" Qiao Sheng drank the porridge and praised Li Mu. The porridge was well cooked and thick.

"Its mother died early, and it must have cognitive biases growing up with us. It must be genetically not afraid of wolves. When it grows up a little, we can take it out to see the world." Li Mu picked up a chopstick of spicy radish and thought it was good. He could have this for breakfast in the future. He just saw the amount of seasoning Lin Haiyang put in, and he could try it next time.

"Teacher Li, do you have a training thug here? I suddenly think the training department is great. I'll find a powerful one to train later." Lin Haiyang was thinking about whether he should also set up an animal team in the future.

Li Mu's words broke his fantasy. Animals need a lot of food to be raised. If the animals are not humane, they may eat him directly. Under the double fear of saving money to raise animals and feeding them with his own body, Lin Haiyang gave up this unrealistic idea. He still honestly raised rabbits and ducklings. These can lay eggs and give birth to babies in the future. At least feeding them food can enrich themselves.

During the day, the wolves had all left. Li Mu and Lin Haiyang squatted in the first-floor cabin and pried open a few floating boards, and began to dissect the wild boars they had hunted yesterday.

They had killed eight wild boars in total. Yesterday, in order to stop the wolves from chasing them, Li Mu put down one to attract the wolves. Now there were only seven left

. The two were also used to dissecting wild boars. They wielded knives very quickly. Qiao Sheng asked for two pig faces and asked them to split them in the middle. They also cut off four pig ears. There were only two kitchen knives at home, and they each had one. Now they could only ask them to help with this preliminary work.

The pig heads and ears were carried upstairs in a wooden basin. The first step was to remove the hair, then wash them, add scallions, ginger and white wine brewed by Li Mu when blanching, and finally put them in a large iron pot to blanch. This pot was specially made by Li Mu for braising meat, which was much deeper than the pot for cooking. However, these four pig faces and four ears were full.

After adding all the seasonings, it was a long wait. This time could not be wasted. Qiao Sheng went downstairs and brought up four more pig intestines to wash, and also took a lot of ribs, preparing to make sweet and sour spare ribs at noon. The two butchers downstairs had already cut up two heads and were now cutting up the other two.

The large intestines have not been washed yet, so I decided to make lunch first. The braised pig face took up one eye of the scalp, so I could only use the other eye to slowly cook.

There was enough time, so I first stewed a pot of brown rice with some corn kernels in it. The meat dishes were sweet and sour pork ribs and pickled cabbage and pork. The vegetables were stir-fried cabbage and Chinese cabbage. Considering the addition of Lin Haiyang, Qiao Sheng also stir-fried spicy potato shreds and diced rabbit meat. There were really too many strong men, and the food was not enough. This time, I replaced the soup with a pheasant from the trading system, added the winter bamboo shoots dug yesterday, and stewed a pot of soup. After

the meal was ready, I called the two butchers up to eat. After eating, I worked again. Today's tasks were still quite heavy.
