Chapter 516
"Smell!" Dongdong pinched his nose and said in a muffled voice, looking at Chen Zhouheng without blinking, and still hiding from him exaggeratedly.
"Stupid boy." Chen Zhouheng shook his head and laughed when he heard this, stood up and said, "I'll take a shower, you guys hurry up and get me some food."
"Okay! I'll go now." Chen walked into the hall in a panic, "What should I eat?"
"What should I eat quickly?" Chen Zhouheng's amber pupils looked at them.
"Let's go with noodles! Stir-fried eggs with sausage." Chen clapped his hands and walked towards the hall.
Qi Yaoyao pulled Dongdong and said, "Let's go and cook for dad."
"Okay." Qi Yaoyao pulled Dongdong up the steps and hugged him and crossed the high threshold.
"Where are Chunxi and the others!" Chen Zhouheng packed up and changed his clothes and walked out with a wooden basin.
"We're all fiddling with the dishes! It's a rare good weather." Chen washed his hands and kneaded the noodles first, "Why do you dislike me for cooking!"
"How could it be? My mother made the most delicious. Isn't this afraid of tiring her?" Chen Zhouheng said very terrified.
"Okay, don't be sweet-mouthed, hurry up and take a shower. Remember to insert the door." Chen raised his eyes and said, "I'm going to remind him.
"I'm leaving." Chen Zhouheng carried the wooden basin out of the main hall.
When they came back, Chen and Qi Yaoyao had already made the braised noodles.
"Come on, the noodles have just been fished out." Chen took the li to pick the noodles from the big iron pot into a bowl of sea, poured them with fried eggs from vegetables.
"I'll do it." Chen Zhou stretched out his hand.
"It's not hot yet, hurry up and put down the things." Chen said with a smile, "The pickles and bean paste are placed on the kang table inside."
"Okay." Chen Zhou opened the cotton curtain horizontally and put the wooden basin on the washbasin rack. He walked to the edge of the kang and sat down, sucking his nose, "It smells so good!"
"I also fry two poached eggs for you, so there must be less oil and water in the canal." Chen said while sitting on the drum stool and looking at his son with distress.
"Do you eat it, son?" Chen Zhouheng scooped some bean paste and put it into the noodles, and stirred it with chopsticks.
"You eat! He is not hungry, we have just finished our meal." Qi Yaoyao held his son and was one step away from the kang table. "I was about to coax him to sleep! You are now in the house."
"If you don't eat, don't eat." Dongdong said swaying her round head with a slight voice.
"Then I'll eat it!" Chen Zhouheng carried the noodles in big mouthfuls and started to eat them in big mouthfuls.
"This bean soy sauce is fried and it smells fragrant." Chen said, looking at him with gentle eyes.
Suck, and in the blink of an eye, this bowl of noodles was taken off.
"Are you full?" Chen said to him with concern.
Chen Zhouheng pursed the soup beside his lips and shook his head slightly, "I'm full." He smiled and said, "Get me some noodle soup!"
"Okay!" Chen got up and took his bowl and scooped half a bowl of noodle soup and placed it on the round table.
Put it on the kang table, the noodle soup is too hot. If it is knocked over by a monkey, it will be bad if it is hot.
"Are you going to sleep for a while, or tell us why you are back at this time?" Qi Yaoyao said with dark eyes as dark as ink at him.
"There was a little trouble." Chen Zhouheng looked at the two of them with a clear look, "This year, the iron shovel and crane-mouth pickaxe that opened the mountain and chiseled stones were used a little bit."
"Why are the tools not replenished?" Qi Yaoyao looked at him with concern and asked, his face gloomy, "That Lord Meng is here again. What do you want this time?"
"No, no, it has nothing to do with him. This year, the iron controls are a bit strict." Chen Zhouheng said roughly, "The relationship with the north has become tense again."
"Do you want to fight?" Chen said with an ugly face.
"How can we know the specific one?" Chen Zhouheng quickly comforted her and said, "Don't scare yourself. This iron is always a controlled product. The previous dynasty was strictly controlled. This people's family doesn't even have iron kitchen knives."
"But don't fight. I don't know how many good men are going to bury their bones in a foreign land." Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Qi Yaoyao frowned slightly when she heard this, and said, "What should I do if this tool is worn out? Is there a blacksmith? It would be better if there is a blacksmith to knock it again."
"There are blacksmiths, there are all kinds of people on the canal. Little carpenter, blacksmith..." Chen Zhouheng said, looking at her stretched between his eyebrows.
"Then you haven't said what you're doing when you're back?" Chen looked at him with concern and asked.
"This ironwork is not just a blacksmith. This ironwork needs time." Chen Zhouheng looked at them with deep and upright eyes.
"Isn't there firewood? You are afraid that there will be no firewood when guarding the mountains!" Chen said to him with a funny look.
"No, the heat of burning firewood cannot reach it." Chen Zhouheng looked at her with quiet eyes and shook his head.
"What should I do? There is no handy tool, so it's hard for you to work." Chen said to him worriedly.
"What's your solution?" Qi Yaoyao asked with a flash of black eyes and looking at him.
"Coal, burning coal, its heat is high, and it is definitely the first choice for forging iron." Chen Zhouheng said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth and looked at her.
"What is coal?" Chen asked, blinking his eyes and looking at him with ignorant eyes.
"How do you say it?" Chen Zhouheng stroked his forehead and thought, "It's just a black stone block that can burn, it's higher than firewood, and it can melt iron into iron."
"There are things in this world that are better than firewood." Chen said to him in surprise.
"There are all kinds of wonders in the world." Chen Zhouheng smiled and said, "I remember that there is a kind of burning black like water in this book."
What he was talking about should be oil, Qi Yaoyao complained in his heart.
"Ah..." Chen Zhouheng yawned and blinked his sour eyes.
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Drink this soup and sleep for a while." Chen said, putting the bowl on the round table on the kang table, "Dongdong should go to bed too."
Chen Zhouheng picked up the bowl, and drank half of it in one breath, "Okay."
Chen put the dishes on the dishes and took them out.
Chen Zhou blew up and spread the kang, got into the quilt, stretched and said, "Well! It's so warm and comfortable at home."
Chen cleaned the dishes and put them into the cupboard, stored some cold water in the large iron pot, stuffed some firewood into the stove before getting up and leaving the main hall.
Qi Yaoyao coaxed her son to sleep, looking at the crossroads of the sunken boat, whose eyes were still turning, "I have something to worry about, I can't sleep."
"No." Chen Zhouheng denied without thinking.
"Did you think about how to get this coal? It is controlled by the imperial court and it is impossible for you to buy it if you want." Qi Yaoyao exposed him directly and said.
Don’t look at the smile on your face and coaxing Chen, your heart is like a cat’s claw, it’s hard to deal with this matter!
Not as easy as he said.
