Chapter 9 The Efficacy of Lingquan Water



The stove here has two stove mouths and two or three stove eyes. One stove mouth is in the front for burning large iron pots, and the other stove mouth is at the back next to the chimney for burning aluminum pots.

I went to the yard and picked a handful of beans and two handfuls of leeks. In the countryside, they are picked and cooked immediately to keep them fresh. I made stir-fried beans with peppers, stir-fried eggs with leeks, paired them with corn porridge, and boiled some sweet potatoes. Two dishes were just right for three people.

At noon, Guo Youxing and his wife returned home from work.

"Aqing, it smells so good! What did you cook? Do you need any help?" Liang Xueying walked into the kitchen and asked.

"Mom, I cooked stir-fried beans with chili peppers, fried eggs with leeks, and corn porridge. In case it wasn't enough, I also boiled a few sweet potatoes in the stove. Just bring the dishes out and you can eat." After Deng Qingling finished speaking, she handed the dishes to Liang Xueying.

"Aqing, what do you want to eat for lunch?" Guo Youxing walked in and asked.

"Dad, let's have corn porridge, fried beans and boiled sweet potatoes," Deng Qingling said as she scooped the porridge from the pot into the bowl.

When Guo Youxing heard that there were sweet potatoes, he took out a winnowing basket and asked her to put them there, "Use this to put the sweet potatoes." After that, he took out two bowls of porridge.

"Aqing, you take the fried beans and porridge, and I'll take the sweet potatoes," Liang Xueying walked in and said.

"Okay," Deng Qingling said with a smile, and then took the dishes out.

Liang Xueying carried the sweet potatoes into the main room. Guo Youxing sat facing the door, while Liang Xueying and Deng Qingling sat on stools on either side of him.

"Aqing, the dishes you cook are so delicious." Liang Xueying praised.

"Mom, I learned this from my eldest brother," Deng Qingling said guiltily, thinking that it was actually because of the spiritual spring water that made it so delicious, even though the original owner's eldest brother was a chef in a state-owned restaurant.

But the original owner's cooking skills were very average. The dishes he cooked were neither delicious nor bad, just cooked well. They were really average.

After lunch, Deng Qingchu went to wash the dishes, and Guo Youxing went to the door to smoke. It wasn't a good cigarette, but some tobacco leaves grown by the farmers themselves, which they just cut into shreds and rolled with cigarette paper. Liang Xueying went back to the room to clean it up.

In the corner near the door of each room, there is a cement pond for bathing. There is a small hole in the corner of the wall, and the sewage flows into the sewage pool outside, which is convenient for carrying water to water the vegetables. There is a urine bucket with a lid next to it.

Deng Qingling was very satisfied with this. During the day, many people in the village went to the toilet (called the ash house in my hometown), or used urine buckets, which had to be cleaned every day, otherwise there would be a smell of urine.

"Aqing, take a nap in the afternoon after dinner, it will be good for your health," Liang Xueying shouted while standing in the yard.

"Mom, I understand." After saying that, Liang Xueying's footsteps were heard returning to the room.

Deng Qingling locked the door and entered the space. She saw that the seeds she had just planted last night had sprouted and the leaves were as long as two fingers.

It seems that the rapid growth is due to the water, so we can plant the rice in a few days.

In the afternoon, Guo Youxing and his wife went to work and broke out in a sweat while working.

The smell of sweat becomes more obvious after a period of fermentation. If you look closely at the skin, you can find that there are some impurities in the sweat, making them look dirty.

Liang Xueying reacted the fastest. She covered her stomach in pain and rushed to the toilet. Not long after, Guo Youxing's stomach also began to react. It only took a few minutes from the slight distension and pain at the beginning to the unbearable pain.

Guo Youxing endured the pain and waited for the villagers inside to come out. When the people inside came out, Guo Youxing rushed in and freed himself.
