Another female educated youth with an oval face threw him a washed sweet potato.
"You'll be hungry at night, so this is for you."
Lu Qingyang reacted very quickly and caught it. These girls had no ill intentions towards him. On the contrary, they smiled at him.
"Thank you!"
Several female educated youth came to wash vegetables. They had just picked radishes from the fields, and some had picked wild vegetables from the fields just for fun. They were going to wash them and take them back to add to the dishes.
Lu Qingyang noticed that there were a few wild celery plants mixed in with the wild vegetables.
Since they were friendly to him, he naturally reminded them, "Wait a minute, among these wild vegetables, there are a few wild celery with white flowers. Throw them away quickly. Eating them will cause poisoning."
The round-faced female educated youth exclaimed: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. After eating it, you will experience chest tightness, headache, nausea, and vomiting. Don't eat it by mistake and throw it away immediately!"
"Thanks for reminding me! I'll throw it away now."
"What's your name?"
"If you look closely, he's quite handsome."
Lu Qingyang's face almost turned red because of their chattering.
Although he is very thick-skinned, he still feels too proud to be instigated by so many girls.
"My name is Lu Qingyang. If you come across any wild vegetables you know, you can ask me. The wild vegetables we have now are old, so they may taste very good."
"Okay, thank you, Lu Qingyang!" The girl with the oval face looked at him from a distance, with a blush on her cheeks. "You know so much. I'm ashamed to be from Beijing."
After Lu Qingyang washed the vegetables, he did not linger. He said hello to the female educated youth and returned to the shabby house.
He drew a bucket of water. The water in the well had not frozen yet, but if the temperature was any lower, it would probably freeze.
But he didn't have to worry about drinking water, after all, there was spiritual spring water in the space.
Lu Qingyang scooped some flour from the bag he brought and kneaded the dough with water.
Mr. Tie knew that they had just arrived and had not yet planted their own vegetables, so he sent them some cabbages and potatoes.
Chop the cabbage, blanch it, chop it, add some seasoning, salt, and sesame oil, and then wrap the vegetables with dough. This is a southern cooking method.
But he is very good at making this kind of dumplings, and the shape of the dumplings is very round.
It’s not about appearance, it’s about being edible.
Sun Xiangqian also came back with the pheasants he had prepared, his mouth trembling: "It's really cold outside, I really don't know how to survive in winter."
"There is always a way. Everyone has come here."
"That's true."
Pheasant is suitable for stewing soup, and is more suitable for braising or roasting.
The roast chicken had already been marinated, so Lu Qingyang chose braised chicken nuggets.
Stew it for a little longer so it becomes softer and more flavorful.
As soon as the aniseed is fried, the aroma immediately becomes intoxicating.
The food was bubbling in the pot, and Sun Xiangqian was warming his hands over the fire.
"It smells so good. I'm so hungry."
After serving, Sun Xiangqian eagerly took a piece and couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious, so delicious."
Lu Qingyang added a pot of water and started to cook vegetable dumplings. "Today's staple food will be vegetable dumplings."
Sun Xiangqian ate one in one gulp, breathing heavily from his hot mouth, "It's so delicious."
The two of them ate half a pot of chicken with the hot vegetable dumplings in no time.
Lu Qingyang had very sensitive ears and suddenly heard a slight noise behind him. He stretched his head and saw a thin figure.
Although her clothes were tattered, she was wrapped up tightly all over.
Only a pair of bright eyes were revealed, staring straight at the vegetable dumplings in his enamel cup.
This is probably the Shen Mo that Uncle Tie was talking about.
This was the first time he met her, and he found that the child was thin and short.
In front of my 5'80", I look like a little pumpkin, and I don't look like a northerner at all.
He really doubted Uncle Tie, saying that she was a scoundrel and that she was worth three men at once was a lie to him.
When Lu Qingyang saw her holding a broken bowl in her hand, he knew what she was going to do.
“You want to eat this?”
Shen Mo took a step back cautiously, nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice, and whispered, "I want to...eat."
Her voice was very soft, but one could tell she was on high alert.
Lu Qingyang said with a smile: "Give me the bowl and I'll serve you one."
The girl's eyes lit up instantly and she stared at Lu Qingyang's hand eagerly.
Lu Qingyang filled a bowl with vegetable dumplings for her, and found an enamel cup to serve her some pheasant meat.
His tone softened unconsciously. "Eat more. Come back when you're full."
Shen Mo carefully took the bowl and enamel cup, and said two words with difficulty, "Thank you... Thank you."
Then he ran away in a flash, and his figure disappeared into the night.
"I run faster than a rabbit. Am I scary?"
Sun Xiangqian was still swallowing the wild vegetable dumplings, "Qingyang, you are not only good at cooking, but also kind-hearted. I really hate you now."
"What do you hate?"
"I hate that I don't have a daughter, but I'm determined to have you as my son-in-law!"
"Come on! You're just trying to take advantage of me."
After Sun Xiangqian had eaten and drunk his fill, he drew a pot of water and prepared to go back. "From now on, when I help you collect firewood, I will draw water from you!"
"Okay, all is fine."
After seeing Sun Xiangqian off, Lu Qingyang boiled a large pot of hot water.
Although there are leaks everywhere in this place, at least it is a private space, and I can spend more time repairing it in the future.
It just requires some materials, and I'll have to think of a solution when the time comes.
After all, you will be in this team for several years, so food and accommodation are still very important.
After the water boiled, he took out the basin from the space, washed his face comfortably, and cleaned himself.
After soaking my feet, the coldness in my body was somewhat dispelled.
Then he took out the charcoal fire and stove from the space. When Sun Xiangqian walked forward just now, he was too embarrassed to take them out.
Now you can open it up in the open, and then take it back into the space when you are done.
I stuffed some firewood under the kang. Although it had fallen into disrepair after years of use, it was still usable and it was still quite warm inside the cotton quilt.
Before going to bed, he made a cup of eggs with boiling water, added some sugar, waited for it to warm up, and then drank it in one gulp before crawling into the quilt.
Of course he could fall asleep immediately, so he went into the space and started working.
It's spring-like all year round in this space, and the tomatoes, cucumbers, beans and other things planted in front of the house have sprouted, which is a good sign at first glance.
Normally he irrigated it with spiritual spring water, and he never saw a shortage of spiritual spring water.
He thought about finding a large water tank and filling it with spiritual spring water for daily use, but this would not arouse suspicion.
This spiritual spring water must have the effect of strengthening the body. He is now much stronger than when he first arrived, and it takes less energy for him to work.
When he went to wash the vegetables today, he also observed the river. When he has free time, he plans to go and see if there are any fish in the river to add to his meal.
Since life here is so boring, why not find some fun to do yourself?
After finishing the work, Lu Qingyang suddenly found Shen Mo's eyes in his mind.
Shen Mo's eyes were so beautiful and unforgettable. It could be said that among all the women he had met, her eyes were the most beautiful and lively.
Perhaps he was tired, and before he knew it, Lu Qingyang fell asleep.
He slept very soundly in this shabby house. No ghosts came to visit him and he had no dreams all night.
The next morning, it was Sun Xiangqian who pulled him up again. "It's morning, let's go to work."
Lu Qingyang rubbed his eyes dazedly, then brushed his teeth and washed his face quickly.
Han Zhiqiang was in a bad mood today. It turned out that two tractors sent by the commune to transport wood had arrived.
Everyone looked at the new tractor with red flowers on it, and they were eager to get on it and sit on it.
"What's going on? We applied many times but were not approved. How come we were suddenly given two vehicles this time?"
"I heard that the province is doing construction and urgently needs wood. The brigade next door has sent four trucks!"
