But he had never done anything before. The moment he saw the earthen kiln, he felt like he was possessed by the kiln god. He wanted to guard the kiln and not go anywhere. He could never forget the sense of satisfaction when he saw the first thing he fired come out of the kiln.
Now speaking of the earthen kiln, if the weather and distance were not prohibited, he would have wanted to go up the mountain to burn something. He never thought that this thing could be addictive.
"Okay, but this time it's just you two. I don't think I have time for this. The firewood pile seems to be getting a lot taller. Did you bring the firewood over here too?"
"I actually pulled some over. Seeing that there was still room for some things in the car, I thought about filling it up. It will be impossible to use the car so conveniently in the future."
"Leave it at home for you to use. I'll just buy some here. You still have to go to the mountains to find it."
"That's it. Several old men think that the amount they gave you is not enough. Is this fire okay?"
"Okay, it's just right that you don't have to keep watching. Go warm up on the kang."
"No, it's warm enough now, so I'm watching the fire. I'll go to the cellar and get some pickled garlic. It's indispensable for eating hotpot. Fortunately, I had the foresight to ask you to make more pickled garlic, otherwise it would definitely not be enough to eat for the whole winter."
Chen Ye curled her lips and said, "It's because you wanted to eat stews all day in the winter. The pickled garlic is sour and sweet and goes well with rice, so I deliberately asked you to make more."
"Okay, bring up another small bowl of garlic eggplant."
Only they have large vegetable gardens, otherwise, with how much they eat pickles, the vegetables grown in the garden alone would not be enough for them to eat. Although living at the foot of the West Mountain looks deserted, there are many convenient places.
If you live in the village, you can't open so many vegetable gardens at home. The size of the vegetable gardens is regulated. Only these few families have few visitors and no one cares about them.
"Hey, big brother, Feizi, do you two have any pickles you want to eat? I'll get them for you."
"I want to eat the sweet and sour radish slices. How about you, Brother Cen?" Gao Fei was used to eating for free. When he came to Ye Zi's house, he never knew what politeness meant.
"I'm fine with anything." He had no idea what kind of pickles they had. The ones they ate in the cafeteria were all those extremely salty pickled cabbage lumps.
Cen Zixiang wanted to say that his elder brother had never eaten many of the pickles they made, and he also wanted to bring a can of food for his elder brother when he left.
But then he thought, these pickles are all leaves, he can't just give them away as a favor and keep his mouth shut.
Chen Ye didn't know that Cen Zixiang was thinking so much, so he just opened his mouth and said, "I learned a lot of ways to make pickles from books and from the aunties in the village. I made a lot of pickles at home. I'll take some back to eat when my brother leaves."
"Tell me what you like to eat when the time comes, and I'll make you an extra portion."
Just the ingredients from yesterday were enough to buy her eldest cousin enough pickles for ten years. Since her eldest cousin didn't want her money, she could only give him some food. Fortunately, her cooking skills were decent.
Cen Zigu was very happy to hear this, as it meant that his younger sister was slowly accepting them as family members. Through his two days of observation, he felt that his younger sister was a slow-warm person. He also wanted to write a letter to his family to ask them not to be too enthusiastic and scare his younger sister.
The cold wind was blowing outside, but the whole kang in the house was warm because of the cooking. Four people were eating hot pot around a small stove, which was even more steaming. After a while, sweat appeared on the foreheads of several people.
"It's comfortable. It would be great if I could live like this every day," Cen Zixiang sighed while eating.
Gao Fei knocked Cen Zixiang on the head and said, "Why are you thinking about such beautiful things all day? You can see how many people can't even eat meat once a year, yet you still want to eat such good food every day."
"Hehe, everyone has to have ideals. Eating and drinking well every day is my ideal. If I never lack money to spend, then my life will be complete."
Cen Zigu shook his head. His little boy had no motivation to do anything, and he didn't know what would happen to him in the future.
"Sister, we will be leaving tomorrow after just one day. Can you please see if there is any heavy work to do around the house?" Cen Zixiang was still reluctant to part with his younger sister. He felt that his younger sister was the one who understood him the most in the world.
Chen Ye shook his head: "No, didn't you guys help me do all the work I was supposed to do?"
"Look at how heavy those steel bars and other things are. Do we need to put them in different rooms for you?"
"No need, have you forgotten how strong I am?"
Cen Zixiang slapped his thigh and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. You look no different from others. How do you control your strength, little sister?"
Most people would have difficulty controlling such a great amount of strength, at least they would use it subconsciously when in a hurry.
But Ye Zi is different. Even in critical situations, she can control her strength very well. If she doesn't say it, it is difficult for anyone to notice that her strength is much greater than others.
Chen Ye recalled: "I don't think I've had much training. I just thought, 'Just be careful what you do.' It's not difficult. But there are times when you lose control, like that guy who broke several ribs last time."
One of the two people who attacked the cowshed last time had several ribs broken by Chen Ye's kick. Fortunately, the ribs did not pierce his internal organs, so his life was saved.
"That's not considered losing control. If you really lost control of your strength, that person's ribs wouldn't just be neatly broken, but would have been pierced into his internal organs. It shows that you used some strength or restrained it."
"Maybe my strength is not that great. It's just a little bit greater than that of a normal person, so it's easy to control." Chen Ye couldn't explain it clearly, but that's how it felt.
"That's because you have a strong control over your body. Little sister, with your skills, you are more suitable to be a soldier. Do you have this idea?" Cen Zigu has learned a lot about his little sister's great achievements in the past two days.
Chen Ye quickly shook her head. She couldn't stand being controlled by others. In her previous life, she was controlled and couldn't even leave the room. In this life, she just wanted to do whatever she wanted and not listen to anyone's discipline.
Cen Zigu felt a little regretful, but also relieved. He had a bad habit of wanting any promising young man to serve the country, but this was the only girl in his family. If he really persuaded her to join the army, his family would not know how to deal with him.
"That's fine. Girls are more suited to clean and respectable jobs. They can relax and enjoy life more."
Chen Ye did not comment on this statement. She never thought that girls were inferior to men. It was just a matter of personal choice. When women become tough, men have no chance.
The long and rambling meal took more than an hour. Fortunately, none of us drank alcohol, otherwise it would have taken even longer.
