Back to the era with space supplies

Chapter 279 Hidden......

The chicken was not stewed much, and only half a can of water was added. Si Ningning was afraid that the soup would be salty, so he only added a little salt.

If Mo Bei feels that the taste is bland, he can add some salt while the soup is still hot.

When the earthenware pot is simmering in the stove, you can smell the rich aroma of chicken soup, and now it is in front of you, the taste is naturally even stronger.

Mo Bei carefully looked at the chicken soup in front of him. There were only three pieces of chicken in the bowl, and half a bowl of soup. Under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, the chicken was tender and tender yellow. Tangled shredded ginger and scallions.

I can't tell if there is any special seasoning, but it smells like it was eaten at home.

A craving and nostalgic familiar scent.

"En." Mo Bei responded lightly, picked up the chopsticks with his slender fingers like bamboo joints, poked the chicken like a small gesture, took a few breaths before bowing his head and taking a sip.

The hot taste smelled very similar to what he used to eat at home, but Mo Bei could still taste the difference once he ate it.

The chicken soup I drink at home is either too oily, or the chicken feels loose and chewy, but the one made by Si Ningning does not have that feeling at all.

The chicken soup is silky and not greasy, the taste is very innate, and the chicken is also very firm. If it is an older person who eats the chicken, it may not be chewy.

But Mo Bei was young, so it was just right to eat like this.

Two mouthfuls removed half a bowl of soup, and a piece of fleshy and firm wing. Mo Bei looked up at Si Ningning who was standing at the corner of the table, and his two three-dimensional, oily lips opened and closed twice, "The saltiness is just right, tastes good."

Under the flickering kerosene lamp, the facial features of Mo Bei's face became tougher and deeper. Si Ningning exchanged a glance with his bright starry eyes that reflected the flames of the kerosene lamp, and then moved his gaze upwards to notice his interrupted right eyebrow. Suddenly, Si Ningning was slightly dazed unconsciously.

It is undeniable that Mo Bei's background, appearance, and cold temperament, whether in front or side, can remove him from the ranks of ordinary people, but...

The scar left by the accident, on Mo Bei's face, seemed to be in sync with his facial features unexpectedly.

Because of the scar that caused the broken eyebrow, the originally cold and handsome face suddenly reversed the breath of Mo Bei's body. At first glance, people can no longer feel the youthful spirit and youthfulness in him, and then it is reflected again What is more is the determination and perseverance that men should have and a kind of melancholy mixed with heavy burden that can only be found between teenagers and adults.

Or, is it the melancholy caused by some special event?
Si Ningning could feel it, and even thought amusedly in her heart: She seems to be witnessing the growth and transformation of Mo Bei and everyone in the educated youth spot as a person who has been there.

Although the two intertwined auras on Mo Bei's body are very different and contradictory, aren't people, human nature, and human hearts just so complicated and changeable?

With all kinds of comparisons before and after, this kind of Mobei is more vivid and unique than before, isn't it?

Speaking of which, this era seems to be rich in handsome men and beautiful women?

Mo Bei was pretty handsome, and so was Huo Lang.

Thinking about the other people around, Song Xiaoyun is very beautiful among the girls.

Sanya, the youngest daughter of Zhao Hongbing's family in the team, has a small pointed face, a pair of dark eyes that are very large, and small and exquisite lips, which are also very beautiful. When she opens up a little later, she will be a little beauty.

Apart from these people, looking further afield, the three brothers of the Gu family, who are partners in the black market business, are tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and they are also very handsome and distinctive.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was true. Amused by his own thoughts, Si Ningning frowned and smiled softly.

After a while, Si Ningning came back to Mo Bei's eyes looking at her. Only then did Si Ningning realize his current situation, and hurriedly pressed his fist to his lips and coughed lightly to cover up the embarrassment of being distracted, "Just drink it, there are some in the jar. You drink slowly, wash out the jars and bowls after drinking, I will go to other things first."

"Okay." Mo Bei nodded, seeing that Si Ningning was about to leave, he reached forward with his left hand as if wanting to grab Si Ningning, but when he thought of something, he withdrew his hand and called Si Ningning to stop, "Si Ningning!"

"Ok?"

Mo Bei's eyes flickered, he wanted to talk to Si Ningning, but he stopped him and didn't know what to say.

I was very worried that because of a casual sentence, Si Ningning would be aware of his hidden intentions, and thus dislike him and avoid him...

Seeing that Mo Bei was only looking at her, Si Ningning said nothing for a long time, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he felt a little confused, "What's wrong?"

"Well...it's okay." Mo Bei shook his head calmly, calmed down for a moment, and finally suppressed his affection, and said in a calm and calm tone, "Si Zhiqing, I probably need to trouble you for the remaining chicken."

Si Ningning was momentarily stunned by Mo Bei's sudden change of his unfamiliar address, but Si Ningning didn't pay much attention to it. He smiled and nodded in response: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged, and I will be responsible for this matter to the end."

Mo Bei felt his heart pounding because of these words, but realizing that the meaning of these words was not as good as he thought, the slight smile on his lips fell back unconsciously.

Over there, Si Ningning didn't know about his mental activities, so he stopped for a while after speaking, and seeing that he didn't speak again, he said, "Then I'm going to go first?"

"Yeah." Mo Bei smiled bitterly and nodded, "Go ahead, I'll clean it up myself later."

"Okay~" Si Ningning smiled happily, turned around and went about her own business.

I pulled out a lot of radishes in the evening, so I am destined to not be able to sleep early tonight.

Two lamps were lit in the room, one in the kitchen and the other in the main room. In the kitchen, Xu Shuhua was making pickles, and the picked and washed radish must be scalded in hot water before being put into the altar.

In the main room, Si Ningning brought the chopping board. He wanted to cut the radish into slices for drying tomorrow. Jiang Yue and Song Xiaoyun were clamoring to learn how to make dried radish from her. It was cutting radish slices, which did not require such a high technical content, and both of them rushed to do it.

Si Ningning raised his eyebrows lightly, put the kitchen knife on the chopping board, and said with a smile on his lips, "You two don't want to rob each other, there are such a big pile of radishes!"

Jiang Yue and Song Xiaoyun turned their heads to see that it really was.

Immediately, they loosened their hand holding the kitchen knife, "Then you come first."

"You first……"

The two pushed and tugged at each other for a while, and finally agreed to have half of each person. This "half" is still very strict, how strict is it?

It's just two people surrounding a pile of radishes and counting one by one.

Si Ningning smiled at Jiang Yue and Song Xiaoyun's childish arguing, and she didn't take any time off herself. She brought the lotus seeds that were almost sun-dried a few days ago into the house, and used small scissors to hold one end of the lotus seeds and rotate them half a circle to remove them easily. Lotus seed skin.

Just peeling off the outer skin was not enough, Si Ningning went outside the door to grope around again, and came back after breaking off a dry side branch of bamboo.

After getting some water to clean the short bamboo side branch, Si Ningning sat back at the table, while removing the skin of the lotus seed, he used the side branch to push out the green core of the lotus seed.

Under normal circumstances, the outer skin and lotus heart should be removed when it is picked from the lake, and then dried in the sun afterwards.

This time, it was due to catching up with the matter. Si Ningning was not around when the sun was drying, which led to the current situation.

But it’s hard to go back, it’s hard to go, but fortunately things are kept.

While Si Ningning kept busy with his work, he babbled and guided Jiang Yue and the others:

"You don't need to cut it too thin or too thick, just cut it according to the width of a finger."

Jiang Yue asked, "Isn't the width of one finger too thick?"

Si Ningning shook his head, "It looks thick now, let's take it out in the sun tomorrow, and after shrinking, the overall compression will not be able to keep up with one-third of what it is now."

"Oh! That's fine!"

At first, I thought it would be cut very thinly, but Jiang Yue’s speed has been unable to increase, but now I cut it according to the width of a finger, and suddenly there is a feeling of relaxing the loose requirements, and the speed increases rapidly.

Jiang Yue was busy with her hands, and her mouth was not idle: "Am I getting more and more capable?"

She smiled and winked at Si Ningning and Song Xiaoyun, "How about it, isn't it worse than a model worker?"

Song Xiaoyun smiled and nodded harmlessly, Si Ningning laughed, "Yes."

Jiang Yue's mouth parted, and before she could laugh out loud, Si Ningning joked again: "Others are role models, and you are a role model."

[Lao Ren: Generally speaking, children are mischievous and difficult to discipline. 】

When Jiang Yue heard this, she straightened her face and stared, "You're just jealous of me!"

"Yes, yes, you are the best, I am jealous!"

The lotus seeds were almost packed, so Si Ningning put the lotus seeds aside in a basket, ready to take them out to dry tomorrow, while responding to Jiang Yue with a playful smile and rolling his eyes.

Jiang Yue knew that Si Ningning was joking, so she didn't care about Si Ningning's eccentricity. Instead, she clenched her hands into fists and put her chin on her hips, with a triumphant "I knew it" expression on her face.

Si Ningning was amused by her, giggled and cleaned up the lotus seed skins scattered on the ground, and chattered, Si Ningning turned and went to the kitchen.

"Is there anything left to finish?" Si Ningning rolled up his sleeves, "I'll help."

Xu Shuhua was squatting on the ground busy with work. Hearing the voice, he raised his head and saw that it was Si Ningning. Xu Shuhua said cheerfully, "You can't do this, I have to come."

A basin was placed beside Xu Shuhua, which contained the radish tassels that had been soaked in water, and Xu Shuhua put a whole radish tassel into a small ball into the jar.

Si Ningning was so curious by Xu Shuhua's words, squatted beside Xu Shuhua and looked at it, asking, "Why can't I do it?"

"I'm not underestimating you." Xu Shuhua explained with a smile all over her face, "This job doesn't require any skills, it needs great strength. If the jar is not broken, you have to press it to death. The more compact the better."

Many types of pickled vegetables are often just taboo about oil in the jar, pickled radish tassels, not only the simple taboo of whether there is oil in the jar when pickling, but also the air and air bubbles hidden between the leaves of radish tassels.

Si Ningning Moyue understood some of the principles, and saw that Xu Shuhua would press very hard every time she put a bunch of radish stalks in the jar. She blushed and was still pressing, so she didn't say anything to help.

She can try other jobs that don't require skills, but in terms of strength, she is indeed not as good as Xu Shuhua.

The job of pickling radish tassels couldn't be of much help, so Si Ningning helped clean up the stove and put everything back in their respective places. .

Si Ningning took Jiang Yue and Song Xiaoyun to put the sliced ​​radishes into basins and filled them into three large basins. After filling them, sprinkled them with salt and mixed them well. Si Ningning clapped his hands and walked out, "Okay, let's do this for today Let’s let the salt remove the moisture first at night, and then take it out and rinse it with water tomorrow, then take it out to dry.”

"Okay, got it~"

After that is to fetch water to wash.

Si Ningning had been running outside for a long time, sweating a lot on her body. Before going back to the production team, she had already showered and washed her hair when she entered halfway to change into men's clothes, and she didn't do any sweaty physical work after she came back. So I just took a shower with water and soaked my feet.

In the past, it was always too hot to sleep, but now it's chilly in the morning and evening in this season, and you need to put on a small quilt to sleep at night. Si Ningning felt that the temperature was just right, so after pouring the water and returning to the house, he went to bed, pulled up the mosquito net and lay down.

Besides the comfortable temperature, there was another reason why Si Ningning went to bed so early.

In the past, every time she went up the mountain, she had to get up in the middle of the night and enter the space to prepare all the food for the next day in advance.

But this time is different, the finished ready-to-eat food made in the space a while ago has not been finished yet, so I can just wrap it up in oiled paper in the spare time before departure tomorrow, and she doesn't need to wait for everyone to fall asleep before entering the space.

When there are fewer things, people also relax.

When you are idle, people are greedy for laziness and comfort.

Si Ningning rolled up the blanket and rolled around on the bed twice. Having nothing to do, he straightened up comfortably, kicked his legs and stretched. Which tendon caused the soles of the feet to cramp, and when Si Ningning trembled, he screamed "Oops".

A few times in a row, the three girls on the adjacent bed all poked their heads over, "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

"..."

Can you tell the truth about this stupid thing?
Certainly not.

Si Ningning was speechless for a moment, before explaining dryly: "It's nothing... It's just that my leg cramped just now, and it hurt a little."

The girls heard that nothing was wrong, and sat back on their beds one by one, but they chatted a few words on the topic of cramps:
"The cramp really hurts. Last time I had a calf cramp, the pain was so bad that I couldn't hold anything in my hands! Fortunately, the things I was holding were not afraid of falling, otherwise I would be so distressed if I broke them!"

"I heard that there are many stories about cramps!"

"What do you say?"

"Some say that the body lacks nutrition, so the cramps, and some say that the cramps are caused by the cold, which one of you is right?"

"I don't think any of them is right! Everyone does the same job, and everyone eats the same food. Why do some people never have cramps?"

"That's not necessarily the case. If people eat something good, they must eat it at home and serve it out for you to see. Can't they arrange it afterwards?"

"Forget it, don't argue, don't care what the reason is, go to sleep!" Jiang Yue interrupted Xu Shuhua and Song Xiaoyun who were arguing fiercely, yawned, and continued: "Work hard tomorrow, and you can rest the day after tomorrow. .”
