Although Natasha also wanted to watch the fun, she didn't know how to face Suldak, so she hid in the kitchen and refused to come out.
"Natasha, let's go first!" Rita stood in the yard and said loudly without caring about Natasha's feelings.
Natasha was wearing an apron and wanted to follow her to have a look, but she hesitated and gave up.
Looking at Suldak and Rita, Xiaobi followed the businessman out of the yard. Natasha secretly touched her hot face, feeling a little anxious in her heart. Although she and Surda
The relationship between Suldak and Sultan had been broken to the last level, but Natasha was more concerned about what Suldak thought of her.
Hearing that the yard became quiet, Natasha hurriedly walked out of the kitchen and saw Suldak and Rita leading little Peter away talking and laughing. She exhaled softly, and old Sheila carried
Half a bucket of milk walked up to Natasha, and Natasha suddenly had the urge to hug old Sheila and suffer.
"Only by experiencing suffering can we know the beauty of life. Cherishing the current life is the greatest comfort to the deceased..."
Old Sheila was chattering in a low voice while gently comforting Natasha's shoulders. She could feel Natasha's whole body shaking slightly.
Old Sheila knew best in her heart that what should have been a broken family was still maintained because of this man who walked off the battlefield, and showed its best side to others. From being strangers to each other... to everyone starting to slow down with each other.
Slow to accept, everyone seems to be tightly bound together by some kind of emotion, life is slowly getting better, the smiles on everyone's faces are constantly increasing, old Sheila keeps saying to herself in her heart: Life like this is still possible
What's there to be dissatisfied about?
…
Four ordinary-style four-wheeled trucks were parked at the entrance of the village. The axles were made of black iron, and the four wheels were made of solid oak boards. The entire carriage had a steel frame, and the frames were covered with dense hardwood boards.
A tall wooden board surrounded the carriage, which looked like it could hold a lot of supplies. The horse pulling the carriage had been unloaded, and the four drivers who were transporting the truck reinstalled the saddles on the horses' backs.
They just waited for the merchants to hand over the four carriages and then set off to rush back to Hellanza City. If everything went well, they would be able to rush back to Hellanza City before the city gate closed in the afternoon.
Hearing that the four-wheeled carriages were parked at the entrance of the village, Rita rushed over with little Peter and Suldak to see the four carriages.
Charlie looked at the four-wheeled carriage with gleaming eyes. This kind of four-wheeled carriage carrying cargo is considered a rarity in the deserted land. Usually, such carriages can only be seen in some caravans. Unexpectedly, Surda
The friends in Kecheng were actually so wealthy. When they heard that Suldak wanted to buy a carriage, he sent four of them to him.
After the businessman introduced the specific parameters of the four-wheeled carriage to Suldak at the entrance of the village, and also explained the precautions and daily maintenance, he left Wall Village with the four carriage drivers.
Hearing that there was a group of bandits roaming the deserted land of Paglos Mountain, the businessman felt that it would be safest to leave here as soon as possible. However, what the businessman did not expect was that sending four carriages was just the beginning.
Immediately afterwards, Suldak ordered twenty sets of ordinary carriage axles from the businessman.
With these four carriages, Surdak's trip to Hellanza City was not so urgent.
He thought that these four carriages could be used to transport sulfur ore, and also to haul volcanic ash back from Pudu Mountain. Of course, in addition to volcanic ash, making cement also needs to be mixed with a certain proportion of quicklime powder. These limestones are everywhere in the mountains.
, just how to calcine these sparse limestones and grind them into powder has always troubled Suldak. Wall Village lacks corresponding coke and kilns, and natural quicklime is not in short supply in Paglos Mountain...
Seeing the mill above the Grand Canyon in Digo Village, Suldak had some new ideas. He thought that a larger mill could be built on the stone cliff of the Grand Canyon, specifically for grinding quicklime. As for the current stage, there is no calcination
The condition of quicklime is not a big problem. In the area near Pudu Mountain, some limestone is covered with thick volcanic ash, and many of them are made of quicklime.
Thinking of this, Suldak felt that he still needed to discuss it with the old village chief.
…
However, the first group of people to enjoy the four-wheeled carriage were not Suldak, but the villagers in the village who went into the mountains to collect mountain products.
Charlie, Luke, Val and several other young men each drove a four-wheeled truck and pulled all the villagers who were going to the mountains to collect chestnuts. The four carriages set off on the road again facing the rising sun in the morning.
Some village women sitting in the carriage were chattering away.
In the past, Rita Hao and Natasha couldn't get in the conversation, but now many topics revolve around Rita and Natasha.
The villagers got into these carriages and staggered through the mountain pass.
There are several more wooden crosses on the top of the mountain on the right side of the mountain pass. They were not there last night when I passed by here. And looking from a distance, the robbers hanging on the four brand-new wooden crosses still have not turned into bones. There are more wooden crosses in the sky.
There are scavenging birds constantly lingering, ready to alight when no one is around.
Surdak knew that the four corpses of the robbers and the wooden cross should have been erected on the mountain by the villagers of Digo Village. Hanging the robbers on the wooden cross at the mountain pass was said to be a kind of redemption for the robber's soul...
On the eve of the Harvest Festival, all villages are basically busy with winter storage matters. In addition to harvesting wheat and cassava, going into the mountains to collect chestnuts and mountain products is also a supplement for winter supplies.
…
The annual Harvest Festival is here as scheduled, and it is almost the most important festival in the Green Empire.
This year, Wall Village is much more affluent than in previous years, so in the days leading up to the Harvest Festival, caravans are always arriving. The old village chief ordered some winter storage supplies that Wall Village did not have, such as some ham and dried meat.
, air-dried chicken, in addition to some miscellaneous grains and beans, these grains can be used to cook porridge. In the winter when the door is closed by heavy snow, the family sits around the fireplace and cooks it in a hanging iron pot.
Serving a pot of broth or a pot of soft multi-grain porridge is a rare delicacy.
The old village chief rushed to distribute the replenished winter supplies to the village before the Harvest Festival. The villagers no longer had the sorrow of lack of food in the eyes of previous years, and there were more smiles in their eyes.
Every year during the Harvest Festival, Wall Village holds a grand dinner party. Each household prepares some different delicacies and moves them to the central square of the village. Everyone lights a bonfire in the square, eats and drinks together, and gathers around the village.
Dance together around the bonfire.
However, this year's harvest festival has something new that was not available before. Suldak bought two large oak barrels of ale from the caravan.
The traditional delicacies in Wall Village are roasted wheat cakes stuffed with meat, stew, and mutton soup.
In addition, you can occasionally see some barbecued meat, but barbecued meat will lose a lot of fat during the cooking process. The villagers of Wall would rather throw the animal fat into the soup pot and drink a bowl of fat broth than eating it.
A dry piece of barbecue is more appetizing.
With the help of Rita and Natasha, Surdak prepared some steamed dumplings. There is no such word in Wall Village, and Surdak didn't know if it was the right way to pronounce it. In short, that's what it meant - steamed dumplings.
.
The stuffing is made from beef shank and onions, and the dough is rolled out from wheat flour. Fortunately, Rita is more dexterous and quickly mastered the skill of rolling out the dough. She rolled out the dough into a large, thin sheet, and then
Cut into small square pieces with a dagger. Although they look a bit nondescript, this is the first dumpling meal that Surdak eats when he comes to this world...
