Mu family's little lucky girl

Chapter 68 Rainstorm, Meatloaf

The rain was ferocious and very heavy.

Moisture filled the entire space, and people who were washed by the rain could not open their eyes.

There was thunder and lightning, and the torrential rain was rushing.

Mu Li's family just ended the last round of panic, and started a new round of panic.

The main room is like a water curtain hole, with rainwater leaking. The room is full of wooden barrels of different sizes, washbasins, kettles, and even the eating bowls are taken out to catch water.

Even so, the rainwater in the house still did not cover the insteps.

After a while, the eating bowls, kettles, washbasins, and wooden barrels were all full.

Mu Li's family was busy pouring water into the yard again, and then put them back in place.

Lin raised her head and looked at the cloudy sky, the rain seemed to be a little less, she turned around and picked up two wooden buckets, gave each of them one for Mu Li and Mu Qing, and quickly asked them to go back to their own room to see if there was any water leakage.

I took another one to the master bedroom.

The roof of the bedroom is a place that their family focuses on repairing every year. Usually, it can withstand light or moderate rain. This time the rain is too heavy, so I don’t know if it can withstand it.

Mu Li entered the room and saw that there was indeed a layer of water on the ground. When he looked up, he saw a lot of water droplets gathered on the roof, dripping down.

Mu Li checked around and found that many places in the house were leaking, a wooden bucket was not enough, but fortunately the mattress was not wet.

The same goes for Mu Qing's house, Mrs. Lin's and Old Man Mu's house.

After a quick dinner, everyone went to bed early.

……

When Mu Li woke up the next day, it was half an hour later than usual.

She blinked, staring at the roof in a daze, and the sound of rain kept ringing in her ears.

Getting up from the bed, pushing open the window, a gust of cold wind wrapped in water vapor rushed in, Mu Li couldn't help shivering.

Without the sound insulation of the windows, the sound of the rain outside is louder, even a little deafening.

It rained endlessly all night.

Old man Mu, Mrs. Lin, Mu Qing and Xiao Muxuan haven't woken up yet.

Except for the sound of rain and wind in the yard, everything is quiet.

Mu Li quietly stared at the rain curtain in a trance.

I'm afraid I can't do what I promised Shopkeeper Wan.

After a night of infiltration by rain, the ground has long been extremely soft, and when people step on it, the mud can directly flow over the ankles.

After throwing off the quilt and getting off the bed, Mu Li simply washed up, put one hand on top of his head, and quickly ran into the kitchen, but within a short while, his body was already half wet.

The guy just bought five catties of pork belly, three catties of tenderloin, and ten catties of pig intestines from the town yesterday. He was in a hurry as soon as he came back, and Mu Li put them all in the cellar for storing ice.

In hot summer, the meat can be stored for a longer period of time if it is placed with ice cubes.

Mu Li originally planned to buy these meats for her family when she went to Xingzhou County, but now that she couldn't go there, she took them out and cooked them all.

After taking off the coir raincoat and hanging it behind the door, Mu Li began to wash and cut the meat.

Chop lean meat and fat meat into minced meat, add minced ginger and chopped green onion to remove the fishy smell, beat in a few eggs, add seasonings and stir evenly, and the filling is ready.

Put the patted meatloaf on the grate, and fry it in the pan later.

Mrs. Lin got up at this moment, and came over to help light the fire in the stove.

There was a rush last night, when Mu Li came back, it was already dark, everyone was busy packing things and fetching water, but no one noticed anything unusual.

Mrs. Lin added a fire to the stove, stood up abruptly, startled Mu Li.

Lin stopped beside Mu Li, her eyes fixed on her neck.

"How did you get the injury on your neck?" Lin asked worriedly.

As soon as he put the patted meatloaf on the grate, Mu Li didn't care, and said calmly: "If you accidentally get scratched by a tree branch, it's fine, it will be fine in a few days."

Mu Li didn't tell Mrs. Lin what happened on the street, because she was afraid that she would think wildly and worry.

The wound wasn't too deep, and it didn't look too serious, so Lin believed what she said.

As soon as the meatloaf was put into the pot, it sizzled, and the aroma of the meat was instantly aroused, so greedy that the old man Mu, Mu Qing and Xiao Muxuan woke up from their sleep all at once, and they all lost sleepiness. After getting dressed, they went to the stove run between.

The smell of the meatloaf not only woke up the family, but also made Chen Xiao, Mo San, Zhang and the little bandits next door swallow their saliva.

Four people sit around a table.

A bowl of white rice porridge was placed in front of each person, and a plate of cold cucumbers was placed in the middle of the table.

This is breakfast for four.

It looked miserable.

The little bandit was very hungry, but he was not picky about food. He picked up the bowl with his uninjured left hand and gulped down the porridge.

Chew, chew, chew.

Uh……

Something seems wrong.

The little bandit frowned more and more.

He swallowed the rice grains with difficulty, and said with a sullen face, "This rice...isn't cooked..."

Chen Xiao glanced at the rice porridge without saying a word, picked up the bowl and drank it, and Zhang Shi and Mo San also picked up the bowl and drank it.

The three of them frowned in unison.

Chen Xiao remembered that he obviously waited for the water to boil before filling it out, but why are the rice grains still not cooked?

It doesn't even count as raw or cooked.

It's not cooked at all.

Chen Xiao's expression remained unchanged: "Eat vegetables."

"Bah!" The little bandit picked up a cucumber with chopsticks, and just put it into his mouth, he spit it out, his two eyebrows pulled like wriggling worms, "It's too salty."

"Kill all the salt sellers."

Chen Xiao glanced over with a knife.

The little bandit flinched, then straightened his back and stared back, "What are you doing? You're not happy to tell the truth?"

It is obviously salty to death.

Mrs. Zhang sighed, put down her chopsticks and said, "I'll cook another one."

She can't do anything else, but cooking porridge is still possible.

Let's eat breakfast first.

The little bandit changed his face in a second, and said with a smile: "How about... let's go to Ah Li's house to eat?"

He has always been thinking about the smell of meat that wafted over just now.

Mo San was also a little moved.

Covering her flat stomach with one hand, she looked at Chen Xiao expectantly.

Chen Xiao directly cut off their thoughts, "No way!"

After all, he picked up the bowl on the table and was about to go to the stove, not forgetting to tell the little bandit to do something, "Gao Fugui, take the remaining two bowls to the stove."

Gao Fugui is the name of the little bandit, but in fact he himself is short and poor.

Tall (short) rich (poor) expensive (file) wailed: "I'm a wounded patient now, look at my right hand, there's a hole in my wrist, forget it if you don't feel sorry for me, and even ordered me to serve the bowl ?”

"Do you still have a conscience?"

Chen Xiao got a headache from his quarrel, and kicked his ass, "Go!"

Gao Fugui pouted, covered his buttocks and muttered, "Just go, why are you so fierce?"

He could only carry one bowl at a time. As soon as Gao Fugui took the bowl, Mrs. Zhang took it from him. , You have to pay attention to recuperate your injuries, and don't get tired."

Chen Xiao frowned, but didn't say anything.

Just as he was about to leave, there was a knock on the door.

It hasn't been long since Chen Xiao and the others moved here, and everyone in the village hasn't recognized them yet. The only one who can knock on his door at this time is Mu Li's house next door.

Chen Xiao put the bowl on the table, ordered Mo San to bring it to the kitchen, and ran to open the door.

The door opened, and Muli, who was wearing a coir raincoat outside, raised a big smile at him, "Master Chen, here are the meatloaf I made, for you."

Chen Xiao was breathless, staring at the girl whose hair was wet by the rain in front of her forehead, lost in thought. Seeing that he didn't answer, Mu Li handed it a few more minutes, "Mr. Chen, here you are."

"Eat the meatloaf while it's hot, it's delicious."
