After hanging the wild boar meat on both sides of the saddle, Lu Lu led Zhui Feng back.
The weight of more than 300 kilograms is not a big problem for chasing the wind.
All the way to the ridge behind the cellar, Lu Lu saw Chen Xiuqing shaving a wild boar cub, while Chen Xiuyu was making dumplings on the grass in front of the cellar. She had already made a lot of dumplings.
Probably because she felt it was stuffy inside the cellar, she did not choose to cook food inside the cellar. Instead, she lit a fire in the simple stove built by Wang Yan outside and boiled water in a large iron pot.
The water has already boiled and is steaming hot.
Hearing a sound coming from the ridge behind the cellar, Chen Xiuyu looked up and saw Lu Lu approaching. She shouted happily: "Brother Lu is back!" Then she ran to open the simple door of the fence.
Lu Lu walked down the gentle slope of the ridge, smiled at Chen Xiuyu at the door, and stretched out his hand to rub Chen Xiuyu's head.
This intimate gesture made Chen Xiuyu blush slightly, but she did not dodge. After Lu Lu came in, she closed the fence door again and followed him back.
Chen Xiuqing stopped what she was doing and helped Lu Lu unload the wild boar meat: "Brother Lu, there are a lot of boils in the belly of that cannon egg, it's a good thing!"
"Yes! Wash it, dry it, and store it until the next time you go to the district." Lu Lu said, taking off the saddle and letting Zhui Feng go to graze in the meadow.
"It has been washed and hung on the tree to dry!" Chen Xiuqing pointed to the small tree next to the cellar.
Lu Lu glanced over there and saw two green-headed flies flying around: "Bring it back and put it on the fire to dry. The weather is getting hot, and there are more flies. It won't take long before there will be more flies."
Maggots!”
Chen Xiuqing hurriedly took the pig tripe off the branch, looked at it carefully, and probably found fly eggs on it, so she quickly took the pig tripe to the river to wash it again.
Lu Lu walked to Chen Xiuyu, looked at the minced pork belly in a wooden basin, added a lot of wild green onions, and smelled it: "It smells so good."
Look at the dumplings made by Chen Xiuyu. She used the same method that Lu Lu taught her last time. The patterns she made are more beautiful and delicate than those made by Lu Lu. This ingenious girl!
"You haven't eaten yet?" Seeing Chen Xiuqing glance over and swallowing her saliva from time to time, Lu Lu couldn't help but ask.
"Not yet. I've wanted to eat it for a long time, but my sister refused and insisted on waiting for Brother Lu to come back!" Chen Xiuqing looked aggrieved.
Hearing this, Lu Lu's heart was deeply touched again.
In the previous life, as long as Lu Lu returned to Xiushantun, Chen Xiuyu would always cook the food and wait for it to be cooked every time he ate. Lu Lu would not use his chopsticks unless he informed him in advance that he would not be eating at home.
Such an approach seemed very paranoid to Lu Lu. He once felt that Chen Xiuyu was just trying to keep him firmly tied to his home.
Lu Lu once seriously asked this question to Chen Xiuyu, and the answer he received was: We are a family, so we should eat together.
It was a very simple and simple idea, until Lu Lu had nothing left, and after returning to Xiushantun, it was still the same, just like Lu Lu could see the light on in the house every time he came back, it remained unchanged throughout his life.
Pass.
Only then did he truly understand that having someone by his side who was willing to wait for him for a meal was the greatest happiness in his life.
Thinking of these, Lu Lu couldn't help but feel in a trance.
"I thought Uncle Wang and the others were working outside, so I paid more."
Chen Xiuyu blushed slightly and continued to wrap dumplings with her hands. She turned her head and saw that Lu Lu had a strange look on her face: "Brother Lu, what's wrong with you? Brother Lu..."
Hearing Chen Xiuyu's call, Lu Lu suddenly came back to his senses and smiled at Chen Xiuyu: "We are all hungry. Put the dumplings in the pot quickly... I will call Brother Wang and the others!"
"Yeah!"
Chen Xiuyu nodded, took the wrapped dumplings, slid most of them into the pot at once, stirred them gently to prevent them from sticking together, and added some firewood to the fire to make the fire more intense.
Lu Luze was busy walking to the woods outside the cellar, still thinking about the past life in his mind: "I will wait for you in this life too!"
Lu Lu walked out towards the forest and saw Wang Dalong and others blocking the branches of the felled trees in an orderly manner along the roots and feet of the trees on the edge. Then they spread the dug soil from high places on top, stepped on it and tamped it tightly.
Very carefully and made it very smooth.
Seeing Lu Lu coming out, Wang Dalong, who was shoveling the soil, stopped what he was doing and said, "Brother, let's see how this road looks like. I'm satisfied with it. If you think there's something wrong, we'll repair it."
“What’s not to like about this!”
The newly built dirt road requires long-term and continuous maintenance to be truly solid and reliable. After a while, the road was repaired, and they began to transport wood and ask trucks to pull the stones down to the foundation. After heavy trucks weigh them down, the effect will be better. Now it can
After cultivating like this, Lu Lu himself might not be able to do so well.
In just a few days, it has been repaired nearly 100 meters. Lu Lu is really not dissatisfied with this progress.
"I shot a wild boar today, made stuffing with pork belly, and wrapped dumplings in it. Everyone, please rest first and come in with me to have a bowl of dumplings." Lu Lu greeted with a smile.
When the elders heard this, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The long hours of hard physical work and the simple meals every day are really unbearable. Let alone eating meat, just hearing the word meat feels like a huge temptation.
What's more, what Lu Lu makes here are dumplings, white noodles and meat, which they can't eat at home for a long time.
"Let's go, let's go... If you don't eat, you won't eat for free. Once you eat, do your job well and do it beautifully, it's over!"
Lu Ludu came to call him personally, and Wang Dalong also directly greeted a group of people with a smile to go to Lulu Meadow.
After being together for such a long time, we all know that Lu Lu is a generous person, and he is also a big man, and none of them have any ink.
"That's how it should be!"
Lu Lu was very happy to see them so happy.
This way of getting along does not involve so much beating around the bush and is not tiring!
Lu Lu led a group of people back to the river, washed their hands and came to the cellar. Chen Xiuyu had already arranged more than ten bowls on the rough wooden table that Zuo Songling had simply nailed when he was sawing boards a few days ago.
They were filled with dumplings, and a lot of them were cooked in the big iron pot.
He immediately greeted a group of gentlemen: "Everyone opened it up to eat. There is still something in the pot. It's not enough and it's full!"
Everyone served a bowl with a smile, chose a place at random, squatted or sat, and started eating with big mouthfuls.
The dumpling skin is thin and the filling is big. When you take one bite, your mouth will be full of oil. It feels so good.
For them, it is already delicious if it is full of oil and water. What's more, the stuffing specially fried by Chen Xiuyu is not as fragrant as usual.
Even though they had lunch just two hours ago, they still feel like they can still eat two big bowls in a row.
Chen Xiuqing moved faster. Before others had finished half the bowl, he was already on their second bowl. When others had finished eating and put down their bowls and chopsticks, he was still eating.
Looking at his eating look, Lu Lu felt a little scared, really worried that he would hurt himself.
The dumplings and soup were enough to fill four large bowls. When I stood up from eating, I started to feel stupid.
Lu Lu couldn't help but said: "Qingzi, we are going to have barbecue tonight. You are so full now, can you still eat it then?"
"Yeah, I can eat it!" Chen Xiuqing nodded without hesitation.
