As Jiang Ning's words came out, Xue Yuantong immediately said: "You just told the result, it seems you don't know the reason!"
Xue Chuchu's reaction was completely opposite to Tongtong's.
When Jiang Ning said this, his eyes were looking at her, as if he was speaking to her.
Xue Chuchu understood what he meant in an instant. Was he using things to describe people?
The fire in the stove became more intense, and the aroma of rice rose up from the gap on the edge of the pot lid along with the misty steam, like mist. In this haze, Xue Chuchu's cold face became vaguely visible.
She was a little angry, how could he say such a thing!
I, that's it...
Xue Chuchu pursed her lips and said nothing. She was unhappy and went to the chopping board to prepare food alone.
Xue Yuantong was stupid and naturally did not notice the change in the atmosphere. She was still happily discussing the principle of smoldering with Jiang Ning.
She used her knowledge and explained proudly: "During smoldering, there is less oxygen in the stove, so the flame of the dry firewood is very small. However, the firewood begins to pyrolyze under the limited oxygen, producing a lot of **. In this way, when the lid is opened, Finally, a lot of air enters, and the accumulated ** mixes with oxygen, and the flame will burn more and more vigorously. "
After finishing speaking, Xue Yuantong's chin tilted up and he was very proud: "Isn't it awesome?"
Jiang Ning clapped her hands and praised: "It's amazing."
Although he knew that he should do this before, he didn't know the principle. It seemed that Tongtong was not useless.
"Then how do you reward me?" Xue Yuantong began to ask for benefits. As she said this, she glanced at the stove.
Jiang Ning picked up the fire hook next to him. This thing is also called a furnace hook.
A very simple tool, an iron bar thinner than your little finger, with one end bent to form a hook shape.
When making a fire for cooking, you can use a fire hook to turn the firewood and adjust its position to make the firewood burn more thoroughly.
Holding the fire hook, he stretched it into the flame of the stove, and then gently hooked it. The vegetation ash and a few peanuts under the flame were accurately hooked out, and the surface appeared charred black.
When lighting the fire just now, Jiang Ning deliberately threw a few into it.
When the roasted peanuts are pulled out, a burnt aroma emerges.
After the peanuts had cooled on the ground for a while, Xue Yuantong reached out her little hand. She didn't mind it being dirty and got some plant ash on it.
The peanuts were burning hot, and Xue Yuantong moved his hands back and forth to relieve the burning heat.
When it was not too hot, she peeled the peanuts, and the unique burnt aroma of the peanuts became even stronger.
In fact, cooked peanuts are sold everywhere now. If you want to buy them, you can buy them at any dried fruit store on the street.
But freshly roasted peanuts like this are still piping hot, and there are usually less of them.
Xue Yuantong peeled off the outer skin and stuffed one into his mouth. It was hot, fragrant and crispy.
She didn't forget to give Jiang Ning one, "You can eat it too."
Jiang Ning opened his mouth, and Tongtong wiped the pot ash from his fingertips to his mouth.
Her hands, which were hot from the peanuts, touched Jiang Ning's skin, and the warmth was transferred to her.
"Hmph!" Xue Yuantong was taking revenge for pinching her face just now.
Seeing the ash on Jiang Ning's mouth, Xue Yuantong smiled secretly again.
The sky outside was completely dark.
The two of them squeezed into the small space in front of the stove, eating roasted peanuts one by one. The pot on the stove above was steaming, and the delicious meal was about to be cooked.
Jiang Ning suddenly thought of when he was very young, before his parents left their hometown to work in coastal areas, and he was not a left-behind child.
He is like now, staying in front of the stove, living a peaceful, happy and carefree life.
However, those young days will eventually fade away with time and remain behind in memories.
From then on, it was like a lamp that illuminated the way forward, guiding Jiang Ning to gather her mood and run towards that lamp again and again amidst countless difficulties.
()
Perhaps the treasures that people pursue in this life have been given by time as early as childhood.
Jiang Ning picked up the fire hook again and pulled out a few roasted peanuts from the ashes under the firewood.
This time, he didn't let Xue Yuantong go. He snatched half of the peanuts.
"cut!"
Xue Yuantong was slightly unhappy and decisively grabbed the other half.
In this early winter, the two of them, with their hands full of pot ashes, fought over a few roasted peanuts and ate them happily.
…
Xue Chuchu suddenly felt so tired that she didn't want to cook anymore.
The vulgar Jiang Ning and the cunning Tong Tong were playing with joy on their faces.
And she, the mistress of the kitchen and the creator of the dinner, could only watch them enjoy themselves.
That is not the happiness that belongs to Chu Chu.
Jiang Ning noticed the disappointment on Chu Chu's face, and with a flash of consciousness, he reminded: "Chu Chu, your screen is on."
Hearing this, Xue Chuchu looked at the mobile phone on the edge of the chopping board. Sure enough, a message from QQ popped up on the screen.
She carefully examined the distance and angle between the phone and Jiang Ning. She could indeed see the phone from him, but didn't he have fun with Tongtong just now?
Why are you noticing my phone?
Could it be that he has been...
Xue Chuchu felt strange.
She didn't dwell on this doubt. She wiped her hands and opened her phone to see the message from her deskmate Mu Ying.
Xue Yuantong: "Chu Chu, who is looking for you?"
She and Chu Chu have been playing together since childhood. They are not the plastic sisters of later generations. They share many secrets.
Although they are not as close as Chen Siyu and Chen Siqing, they are still at a level where they can take care of each other's families in the future.
"Well, my deskmate asked me if I would like to participate in the topic discussion in the mathematics micro-lecture room after school tomorrow afternoon." Xue Chuchu answered.
Xue Yuantong was curious: "What is that?"
Xue Chuchu looked at Tongtong and thought of her incredible achievements, so she said, "You shouldn't need to know."
Micro-lecture hall is a relatively new model. As the strongest high school in Yuzhou, Yuzhou No. 2 Middle School has many advanced concepts that are often not available in other high schools.
For example, in micro-lectures, students and teachers determine the topic after discussion, and then the students host the class and share their thoughts, experiences, and understandings with other students to stimulate students' interest in learning and promote...
In short, only outstanding students can take this position.
"Then do you agree?" Xue Yuantong asked.
Xue Chuchu shook her head. She didn't like to participate in that kind of activities: "I refused. I told her that she would have something to do at home tomorrow afternoon."
"Well, okay." Xue Yuantong understood.
She had finished eating the peanuts and was in a state of being unfinished and having nothing to do.
So I asked Chu Chu to talk.
Xue Chuchu knew that the two of them were almost finished and finally had time to talk to her. She was secretly speechless.
However, despite feeling helpless, she finally felt better.
Xue Yuantong asked again: "Is there anything going on at home tomorrow afternoon? What is it?"
Xue Chuchu said: "It's okay, it's just an excuse."
She just doesn't want to participate in school activities. Instead of communicating with many classmates she doesn't know well, she would rather go home, make a cup of tea and read a book leisurely, or watch videos and study cooking skills.
Well, her home doesn't have WiFi, so she has access to Jiang Ning's WiFi, so she can watch videos.
"Hey, Chuchu, you lied and your face doesn't change now." Xue Yuantong laughed.
I remember that Xue Chuchu was very nervous when she lied.
Xue Chuchu didn't follow her topic. She suddenly sighed: "Tongtong, have you noticed that when we were young, we lied to our families to go out with our friends, but now we lie to our friends to stay at home."
Xue Yuantong tilted his head, "Yes."
"But I lied before, and my mother wouldn't let me go out to play, but Yan ()
It's terrible." Xue Yuantong said, "Sometimes I would sneak out, and my mother would find me and drag me home."
Jiang Ning said happily: "You are so smart, isn't there anything you can do?"
As soon as these words came out, Xue Yuantong crossed his arms and said arrogantly:
"Later, my mother wouldn't let me go out to play, so I locked her home and went to play with the key."
Jiang Ning: "6."
Xue Chuchu thought: 'If your cries hadn't reached my house later, I would have thought you were a hero.'
