Reborn in the red years, I am farming in space

Chapter 51 A little surprise
"Please come in."

Teacher Chen opened the door completely, and then asked Luo Xuan to enter the room.

Entering the house, the first is a small living room and dining place.

As soon as Luo Xuanfu entered the door, he felt that this Mr. Chen's house was different: he saw that the floor of the house was covered with blue bricks, and it was cleaned cleanly, without any rubbish, scraps of paper, etc. .

in the living room.

An Eight Immortals table and four benches all showed a dark red color, as did the side cupboards and corner cabinets.

These furniture have been wiped exceptionally clean, with a faint dull luster all over them.

Luo Xuan felt slightly surprised: These are all mahogany furniture!
Although during this period, Bashu Province, which was originally rich in mahogany, some former rich families still had some good furniture in their homes, which is not surprising.

However, the mahogany furniture in Mr. Chen's house is obviously exquisite in workmanship and complicated in pattern carving, so it is really not something that ordinary small landlords and small rich people can afford.

Teacher Chen's home is very particular, but from the outside of her home, it's just above average.

Luo Xuan glanced at the furnishings in the room, then walked towards the back of the room.

Teacher Chen was in front, Luo Xuan was in the middle, and the old lady behind seemed to be busy making tea.

At the back of her house, there is a small patio.

In the courtyard, besides a few peaches and plums, there is also a pocket pond!
Due to the humidity in Bashu, the stone walls of this small pool are densely covered with moss and asparagus bamboo, which is quite elegant and winding.

"You wait here for a while, I'll heat up the eel."

Teacher Chen took Luo Xuan to the courtyard, turned around and said something to Luo Xuan, then went straight around Luo Xuan, ready to go back to the house.

Hot eel?
For a moment, Luo Xuan didn't understand what this meant.

"Xiaoduan, please invite the guest back to the room for a glass of water."

The voice of the old lady came from the house: "It's still early, the eel blood is too cold. Please invite the guests into the house, drink a glass of water first, and then get busy."

As Teacher Chen walked into the room, she replied to her mother crisply: "Okay. Mom, he may not be able to sit still in the room. I'll just take out the sugar water."

The old lady scolded Mr. Chen: "You, it's up to the guests whether to sit or not. It's your duty to invite people into the house. Xiaoduan, why didn't you even talk about etiquette after you came back to your hometown?"

In the room, teacher Chen and her mother were joking.
Luo Xuan stood in the courtyard, looking over the courtyard wall of Mr. Chen's house, staring at the roof of his school in a daze.

In a few days, school will start.

I will stay in this school again for a long time.

"Hongxing Township Senior Primary School" occupies the site of a former Taoist temple, and the school was opened in the old house of "Nanhuagong" Taoist temple.

As more and more children came to school later, the school built some new classrooms on the open space beside the Taoist temple for nearly a hundred students to go to school.

The ancillary facilities such as teachers' offices, dormitories, and equipment rooms are still the original rooms in the Taoist temple.

The "Nanhua Palace" Taoist temple is very large.

According to the old people, this Taoist temple used to be regarded as a famous and influential Taoist holy place in the southwestern area of ​​Bashu Province.

According to legend, during the heyday of "Nanhua Palace", the number of Taoist priests, nuns, and water and fire Taoists in it used to exceed a hundred.

Before liberation.

This Taoist temple has been flourishing for many years, and there are endless believers who come to practice.

But now there are more than a hundred people in this Taoist temple.

It's just that the vast majority of them are middle-aged students who hate dogs.

The Taoist priests in Nanhua Palace have already been "persuaded" to return to vulgarity, and there are only a few Taoist priests left.

Relying on a little rationed food and extremely limited funds allocated by the state, they tried their best to keep the statues and Taoist houses from collapsing.

In the courtyard, Luo Xuan was in a daze.

At this time, Teacher Chen came to Luo Xuan with a small porcelain bowl and asked, "What are you looking at? Come, drink some water, please."

Luo Xuan came back to his senses, turned his head and glanced into the bowl.

It turned out to be a bowl of brown sugar water with a half-cooked egg lying in it.

Fermented glutinous rice brown sugar eggs.

This treatment is already the highest etiquette for entertaining guests.

It's just that other people's brown sugar eggs have some floating egg whites around the eggs, like torn cotton wool.

But the eggs made by Mrs. Chen's mother are as if they have been decorated with plastic. The edges of the egg whites are round and neat, and they look clean.

The red soup, the crystal clear egg whites, and the fresh and tender egg yolks look very pleasing to the eye.

Luo Xuan secretly sighed: This is a family that pays great attention to details!

"Thank you, I won't drink."

Luo Xuan said, "I'm neither thirsty nor hungry."

Teacher Chen was taken aback when he heard the words, and seeing that Luo Xuan's expression didn't seem fake, he smiled slightly.

She didn't hesitate, turned around and brought the fermented glutinous rice eggs back to the house.

After a while, she came out again carrying an enamel basin.

It was only around 9 or 10 o'clock in the morning, and the temperature in the patio was still a little cool.

The hot air coming out of the Tang porcelain basin is clearly visible.

When Mr. Chen came close, Luo Xuan took a look, and there was the largest eel among the four eels he brought in the enamel basin.

It turned out that Mr. Chen thought the blood of the eel was cold, so he soaked the eel in lukewarm water in order to raise the blood temperature of the eel a little.

Luo Xuan is holding the basin.

Teacher Chen bent down under the eaves and took out a small bamboo tube, and said softly to Luo Xuan, "Stuff the eel in this bamboo tube, this way, it will be easier for you to slaughter."

Everyone usually kills eels by looking for two "foreign nails", one for the head and the other for the tail, to fix the eel on the wooden board.

Then use sharp scissors or shards of glass to disembowel the eel.

But Teacher Chen’s eel slaughter was different: she stuffed the eel’s tail, together with the eel’s body, into a bamboo tube about the same thickness as the eel, with only the eel’s head exposed.

Then Teacher Chen handed Luo Xuan a blade.

Luo Xuan took the blade and took a look, only to see the English logo of "Gillette" on it!

Geely blade?
Big family!
During this period, anyone who can find a discarded light bulb, smash it, and use it to cut open the belly of an eel is already very enviable!

That's right.

It is the discarded incandescent light bulb that has been burned out and the tungsten wire inside is regarded as a rare treasure by the members of the production team in this period!
Some members of the commune managed to retrieve a discarded light bulb from the city.

And when you want to break it, you are far away, so you carefully throw stones and smash it,

Or use a bamboo stick to break it.

Just because everyone is afraid that when the light bulb "explodes", they will hurt themselves.

During this period, few people in the production team understood what a "vacuum" was.

It is conceivable that in the remote rural areas at this time, what level of knowledge is everyone.

Luo Xuan took the blade, pointed the eel's head towards a small bowl, and stroked it lightly.
The eel's body was fixed by the bamboo tube, and its struggle obviously did not affect the eel's blood being collected into the bowl.

Seeing that Luo Xuan had killed the eel, Teacher Chen picked up the bowl and said to Luo Xuan, "You can take this eel home and eat it."

Luo Xuan asked her back: "This is the eel that you bought with money, Mr. Chen, why did you let me take it away?"

Teacher Chen smiled slightly: "My mother has always been a vegetarian, and I am the same. The eels that were slaughtered in the past were taken back by my neighbor next door to eat.

In the past few days, he went to the mountains to go to the countryside. It was raining and the roads were slippery. He might not be able to come back for a while.So this eel, you should take it back and eat it. "

Luo Xuan was curious, and couldn't help asking her again: "Mr. Chen, did you buy the eel at such a high price just to get its blood? What is the use of this eel blood?"

"I'm not some teacher Chen. When you talk to me, you don't need the honorific 'you'. Hehe. I'm not that old yet."

Teacher Chen walked into the room with a bowl, and replied: "My name is Chen Xiaoduan. This eel blood is for my mother to treat her old disease. The old Chinese doctor said that this disease , it would be best to use old turtle blood, it's a pity."

Not finished.

Chen Xiaoduan was already carrying a bowl, and went into the room to serve her mother with medicine.
