Back to the era with space supplies

Chapter 282 The Busiest
Si Ningning straightened his neck unconvinced, "I haven't said anything yet!"

"Needless to say, I know what you're thinking." Lazy glanced at Si Ningning, Huo Lang's thin lips parted and he said two words, "No."

"Humph."

Si Ningning snorted angrily, and angrily buried his head in eating the bun in his hand.

It is not true that the buns are actually made by Si Ningning in the space before.

Originally, I also planned to bake small buns, but the dough didn't rise well, and the finished product was burnt yellow in color. It looked good, but the inside was as firm and hard as a dead dough steamed bun.

Si Ningning took two dry bites and chewed for a long time before swallowing, almost choking himself.

Regardless of his anger, Si Ningning turned his head to look at Huo Lang who was eating at a constant speed, "Will it taste bad?"

Si Ningning didn't ask the right question. If she asked someone else, maybe they would respond with "Well, it's a bit dry" and so on, but she asked Huo Lang.

Who is Holland?

As a person who can swallow the bark calmly, he would not say the word "unpalatable" when eating such serious food in his mouth.

"No, it's delicious." Huo Lang shook his head calmly, then lowered his head and picked up the old military kettle hanging in front of him, and the two who raised their necks "grumbled".

"..."

Si Ningning was speechless for a while, and she vaguely understood something in her heart.

After lunch, Huo Lang wanted to take Si Ningning around, but Si Ningning was reluctant to part with the nuts all over the floor, "I didn't know there was this thing, it's just right in front of me now, it would be a pity if I didn't pick it up ?”

Even if you don't look at the words "wild and pure natural", Si Ningning feels that if you don't buy more, you will be treating yourself badly just because of the plump quality.

Holland didn't have much thought.

The purpose of bringing Si Ningning into the mountains was originally to make her happy and let her relax. Since picking up nuts can make Si Ningning happy, why hesitate?
Just pick it up.

One of the two people took off the basket, and the other carried the basket to scatter and pick up nuts. Chattering was indispensable during the period:

"There are wild persimmon trees in the mountains."

"Wild persimmon tree? Where is it?"

"It's not ripe yet, and the taste is very astringent. After a while, it will become sweet after frosting. I'll take you to see it then."

"Okay~"

Si Ningning exhaled softly with a "huh", his voice was lazy and softly compromised.

Holland then chatted with her about something else:

"I'm going to get busy soon, and the soybean field is also harvested, do you want to go with me then?"

"I really can't say that right now. After the seventh team comes back, the literacy class will probably start. I don't know if I can spare time."

"Then let's have a look first, and then we'll talk about it. Anyway, everything depends on your arrangement."

"Ok!"

"You have to use a millstone to grind acorn powder. Is there one for the educated youth?"

"I didn't pay attention to these things carefully, go back and look for them, maybe there are." Si Ningning said seriously.

Well, that is no.

Millstones are not small things, if you really want them, you can find them anywhere.

Huo Lang's heart is clear, but he doesn't know what Si Ningning is thinking at this time.

Anyway, there is a wall breaking machine in the space, so it doesn't matter whether there is a millstone or not.

Even if there was, Si Ningning wouldn't know how to use it, it was tiring and troublesome.

"I'll be free tomorrow. I'll check to see if there's any suitable stone, and I'll chisel a small one for you." Huo Lang stood up halfway as he spoke, and put his hands together to draw a stone that was about the size of a plate. Come in circles.

Si Ningning shook her head, originally wanted to say no, but then thought that if the educated youth spot didn't have a millstone, she would really need something as a cover, so she nodded: "Okay."

Mo Yue picked up nuts for more than two hours until the big back basket in Huo Lang's hand was filled to the brim, and Si Ningning finally wiped the sweat from his forehead, waved his hands mercifully and called Huo Lang to go home:

"Okay, let's go home! I can't hold it anymore!"

"Okay." Huo Lang nodded in response, took the small bamboo basket in Si Ningning's hand, poured all the nuts inside into the big basket, and returned the bamboo basket to Si Ningning. Follow Si Ningning to walk back.

In the corresponding season, there are everything in the mountains, such as flowers, wild fruits, nuts and so on. The further you go, the more you will find.

Si Ningning and Huo Lang picked up a large basket full of nuts in the mountains, and on the way home they found many orange-yellow ripe golden cherry seeds among the thorny bushes.

In Si Ningning's words, it means that you will never take advantage of wickedness, and you must absolutely not refuse something like this kind of thing that has no owner in the mountains and is sent to your door for nothing.

Especially a month or so ago, when I walked around the thorn bushes for a long time, I picked more than a dozen or twenty golden cherry seeds. I can't bear to leave.

Without hesitation, Si Ningning pulled Huo Lang to stand still, "Sit down and rest for a while, and wait for me by the way, my back basket is still empty, I'll pick some more!"

Having said that, he has let go of Huo Lang's hand, holding the bamboo basket and throwing the golden cherry seeds into the basket one by one.

Most of the moisture in the ripe golden cherry seeds has faded away, and the prickly thorns on the surface are not worth mentioning now. When Si Ningning picked the golden cherry seeds, the small thorns on the surface were crushed as soon as he pinched it with his fingers.

Not to mention the pain in the hand, there is no itching.

Huo Lang put the back basket aside, and after confirming that it would not fall over and spill out, he got up and helped Si Ningning pick it up, "What are you doing picking this up?"

The golden cherry seeds here in the third team are called prickly pears, and they are edible with a sweet taste. When it is ripe, many girls and boys rummage through all kinds of things in front of and behind the house and on the ridges of the fields to eat.

Huo Lang knew that he could eat prickly pears, and he knew that Si Ningning must also know that prickly pears were edible, but based on his understanding of Si Ningning, Si Ningning was so keen on picking prickly pears, so there should be other ways to eat them or usage.

It has to be said that Holland's guess was right.

On the way to pick the golden cherry seeds, Si Ningning gave him a sweet smile with sideways eyes, and started the detailed science popularization:
"Jinyingzi is a good thing, it is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, and it has many functions."

"Such as antidiarrheal, spleen deficiency, men's kidney tonifying, lesbian's nourishing Qi and blood, etc., can all use this."

Huo Lang nodded knowingly, and the question he asked inadvertently caused Si Ningning to lose his footing for a while:
"Do you know a lot about Chinese herbal medicine? It seems that you have been paying attention to this aspect."

It's not just about Chinese herbal medicine, like dyeing cloth, breeding, etc., Si Ningning seems to be really omnipotent, he can ponder and know everything.

"I don't know much about it either..." Si Ningning scratched his forehead for a while, and smiled brightly on his lips, "It's just that the books are complicated, and I have seen some things in books, and you remember the last time you Do you want to meet comrades for a banquet?"

Huo Lang nodded, "Yes."

Si Ningning continued: "In the past few days, I went to Academician Liang's side very frequently. I guess it was because of the familiarity. Academician Liang gave me a notebook with a lot of knowledge about agriculture. I read it when I came back. The contents are very interesting, and I am thinking about practicing them one by one when I have time in the future.”

Agriculture-related knowledge is mixed, not just livestock, seeds and seedlings.

Huo Lang knew about Si Ningning's visit to Liang Qinghong, and made arrangements in advance.

And when he came back from Beijing and rushed over to look for Si Ningning, Si Ningning had just come out from Liang Qinghong's place, holding a notebook with an old cover in his arms.

Naturally, Huo Lang would not doubt it, and immediately nodded and promised, "Okay, you can arrange a time later, call me at any time, and I will bring you here again."

"Ok!"

There were a lot of golden cherry seeds along the road, Si Ningning and Huo Lang picked them together, and within a short while they picked a whole basket full.

Si Ningning turned the bamboo basket to his waist, took Huo Lang's hand, and the two started their journey home again.

I chattered along the way, and when I got back to the educated youth point, it was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon.

Before he got busy these two days, Huo Lang wanted to catch up with the progress of the rabbit cage, so he couldn't stay for long.

Knowing this, Si Ningning pulled the tether from the gate, quickly found a big basket after entering the house, and replaced Huo Lang's back basket, "I can do the rest myself, you go back!"

Huo Lang wiped off his sweat, stood at the door with an empty basket in his hand, looked at Si Ningning with a casual expression, and said, "I'll come to patrol later."

"Got it!" Si Ningning smiled.

After Huo Lang left, Si Ningning slowly restrained her smile. Even so, she was in a good mood, so her pretty face still had an obedient and gentle smile.

Going to the kitchen to check the chicken that was simmering last night, and after finding that there was no change in taste, Si Ningning poured two buckets of cool well water into the house to replace the water in the basin and bucket.

Then he picked up the chicken, and saw that the sunlight outside the house had shifted to the distant field ridge, and the light at the door was much darker, so Si Ningning brought in the basket and sieve for drying radish slices at the door.

Last night, I used salt to remove most of the water from the radish slices, and after today’s daylight drying, the radish slices are ready to enter the altar.

Si Ningning moved out the jar, just when she was pressing a layer into the jar, she suddenly remembered that Jiang Yue and Song Xiaoyun said they wanted to learn how to pickle sliced ​​radishes. So, I plan to wait until Jiang Yue and Song Xiaoyun come back later to continue with the next steps.

Si Ningning dragged the basket of nuts to the brightly lit place at the door, took a large bowl, and dug out the old hatchet that the educated youth had bought, and sat at the door and slowly knocked and smashed it.

But before she smashed out a few nuts, she remembered another thing.

With a sound of "clang", Si Ningning put down the hatchet and ran into the kitchen to work for a while.

Burn the fire and boil the water to blanch the chicken. After frying, put the water into the jar, and push the jar to simmer with the sparks in the stove.

Although the temperature is not high in the current season, Si Ningning is still sweating a lot after finishing the work.

Wiping off the sweat from his forehead, Si Ningning washed his handles, then sat outside the door shaking his hands and continued knocking on the nuts.

During the period, Si Ningning thought amusedly: According to the work assignment, she should have been the most leisurely person in the entire educated youth camp, but now that she is busy with miscellaneous tasks every day, she has become the busiest one in the educated youth camp.

Thinking about it made him laugh helplessly, Si Ningning silently comforted himself: "Hard work makes people rich!"

Then there was another burst of dense "jingling".

It got dark early, and the sky had already darkened around six o'clock. At that time, Si Ningning had already knocked out a bowl full of nuts and kernels, just as Xu Shuhua and his party came back one after another.

Si Ningning inserted the hatchet into the big basket that he had seen before, got up with the sea bowl and passed it forward, "This nut has not been completely dehydrated, it is considered fresh nut, I don't know if you are used to eating it, grab some Try it."

Xu Shuhua and the others each grabbed a few pills, threw them into their mouths and started chewing, "It's crunchy, the taste is intolerable, and it's fun to chew."

"Hey Ningning, where did you get it?" Song Xiaoyun went into the room and hung the hat on the wall, then turned around and asked Si Ningning.

"I picked it up in the mountains." Si Ningning replied truthfully. She was afraid that some girls would be misled by her words and run off to the mountains without knowing the danger. The mountains here are big, it’s nothing to get lost and go around, it’s just a little more footsteps, but don’t encounter ferocious beasts.”

To make it clear, if Xu Shuhua and the others want to go to the mountains, they should remember her words, and they will definitely find a guide before setting off.

The people who can lead the way are all native members of the team. They are very clear about which places in the mountains they can go and which places they can't go, and they don't have to worry about Xu Shuhua and the others going into danger when they enter the mountains.

"Hey! I remember it." Song Xiaoyun responded with a smile.

During the conversation, Jiang Yue lay down on the table, and stretched her hand towards Si Ningning again, "It tastes so good, give me some more~"

Si Ningning slapped Jiang Yue mercilessly on the back of her hand, took two steps back holding the bowl, lifted her chin towards the big basket by the door, and said, "There are a lot of nuts, go there to eat them Knock it out by yourself, and the hatchet is in the basket."

Jiang Yue puffed her mouth, "Stingy!"

"Cracking nuts is a waste of hands. Look at my hands, can you bear it?" Si Ningning showed Jiang Yue a hand.

In Si Ningning's palm and the area corresponding to his index finger, two crystal clear blisters bulged there. Just by looking at it, Jiang Yue knew how painful it was.

Jiang Yue shivered, and walked towards the door with pursed mouth, "You are so tender! Don't you know if you can't do the job?"

"Or you can call someone to help you!" Jiang Yue squatted at the door to take over Si Ningning's work just now, "Ding Ding Dang Dang" looked up.

She didn't hear any movement in the main room, so she turned her head with a "tsk", "What are you doing, I don't have any vision at all, I'm bringing you a bowl!"

Si Ningning brought the nuts into the room, turned around and took another small bowl and put it at Jiang Yue's feet.

She squatted beside Jiang Yue, with her hands around her knees and her eyes shining brightly at Jiang Yue, "What are you doing? Do you want to knock for me?"

Jiang Yue glanced at her awkwardly, turned her gaze away and knocked nuts "duangduangduang", and said stiffly: "You think too much, I knocked it for myself, don't you know? I like nuts when I eat nuts Eat it with big mouthfuls! After a while, I will grab a bowl and eat it!"
