Chapter 9
"What are you doing?"

Zong Che, who had been inactive since his leg injury, came out again holding a stick and asked.

At this time, An Xu had already swept the ground and was digging with a shovel. Hearing this, he glanced at him and said, "It's nothing to read. I can't take part in this year's imperial examination, so don't relax."

Zong Che was very curious about this strange "person", and smiled unconsciously: "It's a college exam, and if you pass the exam, you will be a scholar. I read all day and want to take a rest."

An Xu didn't know how many exams there were in the imperial examination, and he didn't want to know at this time. He lowered his head and continued to dig the field. After digging about two cents of the area, he stopped the shovel and raised his sleeve to wipe the fine layer on his forehead. Dense sweat.

After not working for a long time, this activity is quite tiring.

Zong Che was sitting next to him. Seeing that the man had just put down the shovel, he went to grab a bundle of sticks with great vigor, squatted beside the dug field, put down the sticks, picked up the shovel and dug down twice, creating a big hole. come out.

The hand that didn't seem to have much strength erected a stick in the pit, and Hulala buried the soil on the side again. In the blink of an eye, she erected a wooden stick.

The cleanliness and neatness of this work is far better than that of the women in the village who are known for their ability.

Zong Che was a little dazed, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He looked at the woman's back and was even more curious about who she was before.

"It's past time, don't we still have dinner?" He looked at the sun in the sky and said.

An Xu didn't turn his head back, and said, "Wait until I seal this piece of land."

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a sound of chickens and ducks crowing in An's yard.

Seeing the woman chasing chickens all over the yard, and sending them to the fence when they were caught, Zong Che couldn't help laughing.

After finally penning up the chickens and ducks, An Xu let out a sigh of relief, took off the apron around his waist, dusted off his body, and walked into the thatched kitchen.

The urn was full of water, and the first thing she did when she woke up in the morning was to fetch water.

Lifting the bamboo strip cover, scooping a ladle of clean water into the basin, An Xu washed his hands, sat down and slid the flint, just a few clicks, only a few sparks came out of the flint.

The flints here are coated with a mixture of phosphorous powder and sulfur. She smelled it when she was cooking yesterday, but the pair of flints in Antani's house may have been used for a long time, and the coating on them is almost gone.

This time she slapped her a lot, but she didn't get angry.

Zong Che who followed later said, "I'll come."

An Xu turned his head to look at him, handed him the flint, got up and went to the house to get a carrot, and when he came back, he saw that the fire was already burning in the stove.

She went to the river by the door and came back after cleaning the radishes. Standing by the chopping board, she shredded the radishes with a knife. Zong Che's voice came from behind: "How are you going to pay off the debts of Mr. Zheng's family?"

The non-stop sound of chopping vegetables stagnated for a while, and then went smoothly as usual.

An Xu said: "There is nothing at home that can exchange so much money at once. After breakfast, I plan to go to the mountain behind to have a look."

There is a big mountain behind Anjia, the mountains overlap, visually it is a line of relatively rich mountains, the gate of Anjia is facing east, come out from the gate of Anjia, go left, go straight ahead, and the foot of the mountain is 500 meters away.

There is a piece of bamboo growing at the foot of the mountain, which looks very lush.

When An Xu went out to wash vegetables, carry water, etc., he could always see people coming out of the village to the mountains or coming back from the mountains.

Seeing that the villagers went into the mountain so frequently, An's family lived on the far side, and the walls were not built very high, An Xu guessed that there were no large animals in the mountain.

Or even if there is, it will not go down the mountain easily.

As soon as the words were over, Zong Che laughed and said, "Yeah, all the big talk has gone out, so I can only do this worthless business. But the people in the village are not fools. If there are really good things in the mountains, they would have been picked clean long ago. "

An Xu turned back and glared at him, why is this kid so annoying.

Put the shredded radish into the pot, mix it with half a scoop of flour, An Xu quickly moved the shredded radish and flour into a ball, and put them one by one on the bamboo grate in the pot.

"Increase the fire."

Zong Che listened unconsciously, and then realized, is he actually a glutton?She listens to everything?
Half an hour later, the radish cakes came out of the pan. Zong Che squatted on a small wooden stool, looked at the plate of radish cakes that were still blue in color on the low wooden table in front of him, and had some doubts, could this food be delicious?

An Xu came back with two bowls of noodle soup, sat down opposite, and motioned, "Eat."

Zong Che picked up a piece of radish cake with chopsticks, carefully put it to his mouth and took a bite. It was salty and slightly sweet, and the shredded radish didn't have much of the spicy taste of radish. Chew the better.

Seeing that the young man across the street tasted delicious in everything he ate, An Xu smiled unconsciously, and picked up the bowl to eat.

As soon as the radish cake was eaten, she chewed it slightly. Yesterday it was not obvious, but this morning it was sure. I don’t know if it’s because of the green crops during this period. The food she made is more delicious than it is. The same dishes that were carefully cooked and added with various seasonings in the previous life were slightly higher.

An Xu thought, is this also considered a golden finger?I don't know how the dishes she cooks will taste like if the conditions are met in the future.

The two sat and ate without talking. An Xu was thinking about something, and unknowingly ate several radish cakes. When the chopsticks were stretched out again, they were hindered.

An Xu raised his eyes and met the boy opposite him.

"This is mine," she said.

Zong Che lost his temper and said, "There are eight radish cakes in total, and you have already eaten four."

"If I make it, I have to eat one more."

Zong Che: "——You ate the last one, so you ate two more than me."

An Xu smiled and said, "So what, I've worked hard, and I'm getting hungry fast."

Zong Che snorted coldly, put down his chopsticks, picked up his rice bowl and started drinking.

Bad boy.

An Xu picked up the radish cake and finished it in two or three bites.

She still has to go into the mountains, so she won't be polite about this pancake. Although the original owner seems to owe the clan boy some, now that she occupies the original owner's body, it is equivalent to owe the clan boy, but she still has to do a lot today It's me who suffers from lack of food and suffering.

After eating, the sun on the day walked a few minutes towards the heart of the sky. An Xu washed the dishes, covered the pot, and said to Zong Che who was already reading in the thatched cottage: "I will try to come back as soon as possible. If you are hungry, you can eat by yourself." Make a pancake and eat it."

The sound of reading in the thatched cottage stopped, and Zong Che leaned out the window and said, "I'm going to the county seat later, just take care of yourself."

An Xu frowned, put down a broken bamboo basket that he had already lifted, and walked into the thatched cottage, "What are you doing in the county town with your legs broken?"

When Zong Che heard this, he sneered and said, "My leg is broken, if it doesn't get cured, what career will I take in the future?"

Looking at this face, Zong Che could easily think that the day he fell his leg, Andani sighed in the yard, said what the women in the village were talking about, and then went to the window to tell him that maybe he was really in trouble.
