The brothers and sisters said goodbye quickly. The Xiao family father and son returned to their respective academies. Xiao Nianzhi followed Aunt Yu back to Zhuangzi.
Yan Changxia originally wanted to go back to the city, but when she saw the long queue, she turned around and wanted to follow Xiao Nianzhi.
Anyway, Aunt Yu’s village is not a small place, and she doesn’t pick any conditions, so she wants to live there too!
When Wei Zhiqiu saw that you were all gone, did you want me to go back to the city?
I'm not stupid!
It doesn't matter if she goes to a Taoist temple or to her aunt.
However, Wei Zhiqiu likes the excitement, so he also goes along.
Aunt Yu dragged three people behind her, and after waiting in line for most of the day, they finally managed to get back to Zhuangzi before it got completely dark.
After a day of hard work, everyone was tired, and Xiao Nianzhi was too lazy to cook any more. Sister-in-law Guo simply cooked something. After everyone ate, they went back to their respective rooms to sleep.
It's cold and no one wants to take a shower. The most they can do is wash their face, soak their feet and go to bed.
Xiao Nianzhi quietly returned to the delicious kitchen, took a bath carefully, soaked for a while, and blew her hair before going to bed directly after she came back.
As for reading?
Don't think about it, she has to be on duty tomorrow, and it's easy to get up if she stays up late!
When I woke up early in the morning, the weather was gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain.
Yan Changxia and Wei Zhiqiu were taking a nap, but Xiao Nianzhi had already gotten up, carrying the sesame cakes prepared by Sister-in-law Guo, and went on duty.
Knowing that Xiao Nianzhi would bring meals to the Yamen every day, Sister-in-law Guo asked more questions last night. When she got up early this morning, she prepared half a duck, half a chicken, and a whole rabbit.
Looking at these ingredients, Xiao Nianzhi thought about it and ordered half a duck, and some dried mushrooms and potatoes.
After signaling Chang Shan to get ready, he said goodbye to Aunt Yu who had gotten up early, and then Xiao Nianzhi hurried into the city.
It was also her good luck. As soon as she arrived at the Yamen office room, before anyone could sit down, it started to rain outside.
Moreover, the rain came quickly and urgently, and the rain pattered against the tiles, making a rapid and intense sound.
Listening to this voice, Xiao Nianzhi breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, let's go fast."
Seeing that the weather was bad, Xiao Nianzhi asked Chang Shan to drive faster.
Xiao Nianzhi’s buttocks were a little sore due to the bumpy journey.
However, fortunately, we came before the rain, so it was good that we didn’t get caught in the rain halfway.
On a rainy day, although there was a rain porch outside, the weather was getting colder and colder. Xiao Nianzhi called Chang Shan directly into the house to wait.
In order to avoid suspicion, Chang Shan directly opened the door and turned on the stove in time to avoid the cold wind blowing in from outside and freezing Xiao Nianzhi again.
Two subordinates did not return from a business trip, so Xiao Nianzhi had to fish again today.
With nothing to do, Xiao Nianzhi started to clean up the duck, but Sister-in-law Guo cleaned it up very cleanly. When she heard that she was going to burn it and eat it, she specially chopped it into small pieces.
However, the mushrooms haven’t been soaked yet, so the fungus can also be soaked together.
Fortunately, the Yamen still had some water left for use yesterday. Otherwise, Xiao Nianzhi would be too embarrassed to ask Chang Shan to carry water on this rainy day. Although the distance is not particularly far, the road is not easy to walk.
It’s raining so heavily that you can’t even see the appearance of people from a little distance away. It’s a hell to go out on this day!
Soak everything, including the potatoes, and soak them in water to prevent oxidation.
Xiao Nianzhi is free again.
However, a few days ago, she asked Uncle Qin to help and ordered a batch of wooden boxes, the kind of wooden boxes used for growing vegetables in modern times.
The day before yesterday, I asked Chang Shan to go to Jingyuan and bring back some soil that had been nourished with fertilizer.
Xiao Nianzhi feels that his vegetable planting plan can be started directly.
The vegetable seeds and flower seeds I bought before have not been used up yet, and the delicious study room upgrade, as well as the various seeds rewarded by the garbage disposal can also be used together.
Anyway, they are all mixed together, who knows what kind of seeds these are?
Even if I asked about the mixed bags I bought, she didn’t know.
Xiao Nianzhi took Chang Shan to start home planting. Chang Shan found it very interesting. He listened to Xiao Nianzhi's guidance and did it quite quickly.
In fact, it is not a complicated matter, just fill in the soil, bury the seeds, and wait.
Xiao Nianzhi prepared a lot of boxes and even built wooden shelves. The entire wall near the window was used by Xiao Nianzhi.
Xiao Nianzhi also packed two mushroom nutrition packets, sprayed some water every day, paid attention to the temperature, and then waited for a while before eating delicious mushrooms.
This is what I asked for from Jingyuan. It is the most common oyster mushroom, and its growth cycle is about one and a half months.
But you need to pay attention to the temperature and temperature. If neither is controlled well, the mushrooms will not grow.
The two of them had been busy all morning with these things, but because it was raining, they didn't come to eat at noon.
Xiao Nianzhi braised half of the duck and added soaked mushrooms and potato slices.
When the soup was almost done, and the mushrooms and potato slices were almost flavorful, Xiao Nianzhi signaled Chang Shan to lift the pot.
Then I put on the kettle, boiled water, and drank tea leisurely in the afternoon.
At this time, the rain is still falling, and the rain is still heavy.
On a rainy day, it’s actually not convenient to go to the latrine, so Xiao Nianzhi didn’t drink much tea today.
But the warm water cup is quite warm when held in my hand.
The cup that Xiao Nianzhi drinks from now was also fired at the official kiln before. It is a light blue cup, about two times as high as a tea cup. It is very useful for daily drinking and making tea. It can also be used as a milk tea cup.
Very good looking.
The duck that was roasted at noon was placed in a basket, and the multigrain pancakes that Sister-in-law Guo steamed yesterday were heated.
The duck meat was salty and fragrant with the rice, and the mushrooms and potato slices inside were also delicious. Xiao Nianzhi ate two large multigrain pancakes, and finally couldn't hold on there.
Chang Shan, on the other hand, ate up all the remaining four grain pancakes and ate all the remaining vegetables in the pot.
He dipped the pancake in the last bit of soup and ate it all.
Seeing that Chang Shan likes to eat so much, Xiao Nianzhi laughed and teased him: "If you like to eat, let's do it tomorrow so as not to burst your stomach."
Chang Shan was embarrassed to be laughed at, but during the time he spent with Xiao Nianzhi, he probably understood his master's temperament.
If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush, she doesn't like it very much.
At this time, Xiao Nianzhi's teasing was not malicious, so Chang Shan was only slightly embarrassed. He quickly smiled, put away the things, and rinsed all the kitchen utensils.
Looking at Chang Shan who was working neatly and eating deliciously, Xiao Nianzhi couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought about the dark, strong and cold face of Chang Shan when they first met.
It's a bit contrasting with the cute feeling, but it's quite cute.
In the afternoon, Xiao Nianzhi stopped fishing.
My butt hurt so much from the bumps this morning. In addition, the road after the rain was muddy and difficult to walk. Even the official road was not particularly good.
This made Xiao Nianzhi put cement on the agenda again.
We can’t delay it any longer. If we delay it any longer, we may not even see a cement road next year!
