Chapter 5 Stepping
After returning from the cotton processing factory, Lin Tao bought several kinds of fruits in the market in the county, so he went to the simple station - the cars leading to each village generally do not go to the passenger station. Their stopping locations are usually relatively fixed, which is convenient for villagers to find.
When I took the bus back home, my parents and brother had not yet come back from the field, Lin Tao put down his things and went to the vegetable field in the yard, picked spicy food, tomatoes, eggplant and other dishes, washed it at the faucet, and then went to the kitchen to prepare supper.
If Lin Tao had been in the past, he would not know how to cook after graduating from college. At best, he could cook instant noodles or something, so he would be fine to fill his stomach. But when it comes to cooking, it is a technical job that is more troublesome than pesticide ratio!
However, for Lin Tao, who had been married in his previous life, cooking was just a small thing. After all, he had become a family. Although his wife was talented in cooking, she was busy and lazy, and cooking was basically all over her. Later generations were a otakus who didn't like going out. After work, she just read novels, surf the Internet, watch movies, and cooked by herself. Although she was not as good as those star chefs, she was basically full of color, fragrance and taste.
It is very quick and neat to stir-fry three dishes and steam a pot of rice. Nowadays, rice cookers are not very popular in rural areas. At least most of the steamed rice is steamed in pots. The heat is not easy to master, but the steamed rice is definitely fragrant - and there is also a purely natural-generated pot crumb!
Lin Tao, who was born in the future, would not have this technology. After all, when he started cooking in later generations, rice cookers were already popular. This technique of steaming rice with a firewood stove was basically lost - at least many rural people could not have it anymore. At this time, some large home appliance companies began to develop rice cookers with similar flavors as firewood stoves - it was far from the question.
Although it is a technical job, it is nothing more than mastering the heat. Lin Tao carefully scoops out the rice soup in the pot, then takes off some of the firewood under the stove, and starts to steam the rice slowly.
After more than ten minutes, when I opened the pot and smelled the fragrance, Lin Tao felt relieved and finally did not steam the paste!
It was getting dark, and Lin Tao cleaned up the dining table, then put the food on, waiting for his parents and brother to come back.
Within a few minutes, he heard the sound of a tractor outside the door.
Lin Tao has a tractor at home, which is used for work. Lin Tao can drive it too. He heard the sound and knew it was the sound of his own car. He opened the door and walked into the yard and saw the old brother Lin Hai turning into the yard with a tractor.
The tractor was parked, and my mother got out of the car and said, "Are you anxious? Are you hungry? I'm a little bit of work today. I'll cook now, and it'll be fine right away!"
Lin Tao stepped forward and helped his mother get out of the car while saying, "The food is ready, you are exhausted too! You can start eating after washing!"
"Who cooked the meal? Your sister-in-law is here?" My mother was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where is she?"
My brother’s girlfriend has a good relationship with her and often comes to help her. Although she is from the city, she can also work in the fields and helps her mother cook. So when she heard Lin Tao say that the meal was ready, her mother’s first reaction was that Lin Hai’s girlfriend was here.
"No, it's the food I cooked." Lin Tao explained: "I came back early and didn't have enough time to go to the field, so I cooked it. It's still hot now, let's eat together!"
My son can cook?
Lin Tao's parents looked at each other, their eyes full of incredible - their son's changes were too big!
After a meal at the table, Lin Tao's food was unanimously praised by his family. Lin Hai even smiled and said, "You don't have to go to the field these days. You cook at home every day and let your mother have a rest!"
Lin Tao smiled. He really didn’t have time to cook, so there were too many things to do later!
In 1998, after dark, the most popular entertainment activities in rural areas was watching TV.
"Dad, I'll go out tonight and ride a motorcycle. Maybe I'll come back later," Lin Tao said to his dad after dinner, "Just leave the door for me."
If there were no changes in the past few days, my father was still worried. However, when we were together these few days, our parents could clearly feel the changes in Lin Tao. Not only was he mature and sensible, he also had a sense of his work. He considered some things more thoughtful than his parents, and Lin Dad was also relieved. He just said to Lin Tao: "Then please be careful. Riding a motorcycle slower at night."
Lin Tao nodded, brought a flashlight, and rode his motorcycle out.
This time, he was going to check out the spot.
Although Suilai County is a G county town, it is not an ancient land like Guanzhong and Anyang that has been passed down for thousands of years. There are few cultural relics and not many antiques and cultural relics that have been crisscrossed among the people.
Not too much, not not nothing.
Lin Tao rode his motorcycle out and walked west about six or seven kilometers, turned off the county road, entered the rural road, and walked about two kilometers further forward, and stopped.
In front of me is a huge ruin.
According to the locals, this place is called "Pochengzi". It is said to be the ruins of Suilai County before the Qing Dynasty. However, later, it was not known whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. The people here moved away in a very short time, and then it quickly became dilapidated, leaving only a piece of ruins. Then, there were many legends here. For example, when someone was watering the land nearby at night, he saw a carriage passing by and greeted him. The people who watered the land saw the carriage rolling over their own land, were quite angry and flew directly to shovel the carriage. The carriage was still not stopped. During the day, people who watered the land found that the shoveled down were actually a piece of gold and other stories.
Later, it was said that there were treasures in this broken city. In the past few years, many people came here to find things every day. However, except for broken bricks, rotten tiles, rotten wood, weathered bones, they basically couldn't find anything valuable. Occasionally, people would pick up copper coins, but they were also very ordinary Qianlong Tongbao, which was useless.
However, Lin Tao knew that there were actually treasures buried nearby.
Three or four hundred meters west of the Pochengzi is the tributary of Suilaihe. It is now dry season, and there is not much water in the river, and there is a lot of pebbles everywhere. Both sides of the river embankment have been washed by the river water for a long time, and it has become straight up and down. At a height of two or three meters, it is still a bit dangerous for ordinary people to go down.
The treasure in Lin Tao’s memory is nearby!
Lin Tao was also a little excited when he saw this place. Although he did not see the treasure when it was unearthed, he later found the specific location. He knew the geographical characteristics there very clearly. It was very evil at that time. Seeing that it was still early, Lin Tao pulled out the motorcycle key, found a gap in the river embankment, and searched for it according to the place in his memory.
