my daughter my hometown

Chapter 134
When Su Wu brought the water back, Li Yan was busy in front of a stove without raising his head.

"Grandma Li, I picked water for you, so save it." Su Wu waved his hand and prepared to say goodbye: "I'll go back first. There are quite a lot of things to do at home."

The so-called crossing the door is the custom that when building a new house, the owner personally presses coins, wormwood and other auspicious or evil objects on the door frame, and then builds the first brick.

Like the upper main beam, it is almost the most important link in the construction of new houses in Yangxin Valley.Usually have to choose a good day to invite the lion and throw the beam to receive the package.

"Xiao Wu, is your family passing the gate today?" Li Yan was dumbfounded.

In the room behind her hung a large perpetual calendar.After being woken up by the roar of the tiger in the morning, she took a few glances.

Today is not a good day to pass the door.

Su Wu's eyes were also sharp, and he smiled quickly: "Not today, but in the next few days. Anyway, my uncle told me to prepare all kinds of things, so as not to be in a hurry."

Because he did not build a traditional tile-roofed house, there is no such thing as raising the main beam.So in the eyes of his uncle Su Ping, passing the door has become the most important ceremony in building a house.

According to Su Ping, when building a new house, the door and the upper beam are combined into one. This kind of thing is the first thing in Yangxin Valley. It is not a bad thing to prepare a lot.

"So that's the case." Li Yan nodded.

"Then I'll go first. See you tomorrow, Grandma Li." Su Wu turned around and was about to leave.

He didn't find a reason to say a few more words. According to the old practice, the old lady had to ask him to eat before leaving.

"Hey... Xiao Wu, wait a minute." Li Yan quickly straightened up from the stove.

Su Wu had no choice but to stop, "What else can Grandma Li do?"

Li Yan wrinkled his orange-like face, and lightly patted his sore back.She called out to Su Wu, "Grandma Li knew you were busy, so she didn't want to bother you. It's just that I really don't have time now."

She pointed to the earthen stove in front of her, and said embarrassedly: "Can you help me carry another load of water?"

"Want more water?" Su Wu was taken aback.

He took a few steps closer to have a look.

This earthen stove was built outside the house carelessly. After a long period of wind and sun, the mud bricks on the outside of the earthen stove have been damaged, but it looks like it will be able to support it for a while.

A raging fire was burning under the earthen stove, and a pot of noodle-like substance was boiling in the large iron pot above, which was emitting a strange smell.

Su Wu shrugged his nose.

He couldn't help but look weird, he couldn't tell whether the smell was pleasant or disgusting.Anyway, after smelling it, normal people would never put it in their mouths to taste.

"Grandma Li," Su Wu looked carefully at the filaments in the pot, "What is this boiled? It doesn't look like food noodles, nor does it look like ordinary hemp rope."

Li Yan chuckled, "This is silk, Xiao Wu, haven't you seen it?"

Su Wu's eyes widened involuntarily, he shook his head, "So it's silk, I've never seen it before."

He has seen silkworm cocoons before, and he has also seen silk, but this is the first time he has seen silk like this.

"Grandma Li, what are you cooking them for?" Su Wu looked around the earthen stove, but he didn't see any other silk piled beside it.

Not to mention making a quilt, this amount of silk is probably not enough to weave a pair of gloves.

Li Yan didn't make a sound, she carefully moved out a jar of sauce-purple things from the house, then took out some glue-like liquid from the jar, and put it into the boiling water.

Soon, the taste in the pot changed again.

Su Wu twisted his nose, feeling that the taste in front of him seemed a little spicy, but also a little sweet.

"I'm cooking silk strings." Li Yan took a wooden stick and vigorously stirred the hot liquid and silk in the pot.

Strings!

what?
Su Wu muttered the term blankly.Seeing that Li Yan couldn't exert his strength, he hurried up to reach out to help.

Li Yan refused.

"My old lady can still work here by herself, but there is not enough water. If you are not in a hurry to go back, Xiao Wu, please help me to carry another load of water for me as a spare."

"Alright." Although Su Wu was puzzled, he looked at the sky and nodded, picked up the bucket and pole and went down the mountain.

Soon Su Wu brought up another load of water from Fairy Lake.

He looked into the water tank, and sure enough, the water in the tank was less than half.And the soup in that cauldron seemed to have changed another color, and even the smell in the air was no longer as weird as before, but it felt refreshing.

"Grandma Li, is it almost ready?" Su Wu felt his tongue salivate when he smelled it.He couldn't help but eagerly asked: "Do you need me to help you fish them out?"

"It smells good." Li Yan shook his head while wiping his sweat, "But it's still a long time away from success."

She pointed to the wood piled in the corner, "I guess it's almost time to finish burning that pile of firewood."

Su Wu was taken aback.

Such a large pile of firewood must be burned until the afternoon or even night.

He shook his head regretfully.It seems that today we can't see what Li Yan worked so hard to produce.

Since he couldn't wait for Su Wu, he didn't wait, he gave a few words of advice, then turned around and went down the mountain to return to the village.

Su Wu left very relieved.

In recent years, in order to protect the forests around Nanling and reduce the number and number of times villagers come to collect firewood, the state has vigorously advocated more electricity use and more benefits.

The price of electricity has been artificially lowered, so cheap that anyone living in a big city will be disgusted.Slowly, almost every household in the villages around Yangxin Valley uses electricity for cooking.

And Li Yan's family has a special small hydroelectric generator, so there is no need to pay electricity bills at all, so Su Wu is not worried that she will not be able to eat because she is too busy cooking shredded silk.

When I returned to Su Xue's house, there were many smiling villagers crowded inside and outside the huge yard.

Those inside are still watching the cub, while those outside are watching the biogas pond that the three Suwu families have roughly formed.

Standing in the crowd, Su Jing is trying her best to introduce the functions and benefits of biogas digesters and new toilets to the villagers.

Seeing Su Wu running back covered in sweat, she quickly concluded.

"Anyway, the state has subsidies for building a new type of toilet, and the price is very cheap. After the construction is completed, the family will defecate and defecate more cleanly and hygienically."

As she spoke, she was half joking and half threatening.

"Uncles, the most important thing is that if your family is not planning to build a new toilet, there will be tourists who want to stay in the village in the future. We will not send people to your house unless it is absolutely necessary."

The surrounding villagers couldn't help being in an uproar.

This is definitely a ruthless move.

Because the roads to and from Yangxin Valley are currently difficult, most tourists will stay in the village for a day or two.Tourists will pay the landlord for food and lodging during these two days.After careful calculation, it is quite profitable, at least not worse than those who go out to work.

However, after entering the village, who will the tourists live in? Basically, Su Wu or Su Jing is helping to arrange.Because the vast majority of tourists know Yangxin Valley through the three of them, and they only have their contact information, and they only trust their words.

If Su Wu and the others really don't want tourists to live in homes with unsanitary and vulgar behaviors, they really have no other choice but to mutter to themselves.

　Happy New Years Eve.
