Chapter 119

Xu Xiumei hadn't done this for a long time.At first, she acted cautiously.Not long after the start, she planted two ridges of onions and two ridges of garlic.She scooped up a spoonful of water and poured it in slowly.

Although it was just a few scallions and garlic, Xu Xiumei felt joy and satisfaction from the bottom of her heart.How long has the planting of vegetables been interrupted? Haiming Island is not suitable for growing vegetables, and some wild vegetables can be harvested in spring and summer, but it is also not suitable for autumn and winter. We can only fish wild grass in the lake to cook porridge.

People on board want to go ashore, not only because living on board is "no fixed place", but also because they must face storms at any time.Sometimes the swaying boat makes people feel helpless between the sky and the earth, because the unpredictable lake water is not as responsive as the earth.

Sometimes when Su Genliang went out, he could not return a few fish in a day, but the fishing net was also broken, so he came back again.Catch the tide and get out of the cage is actually trying your luck.Although growing vegetables and food also depends on the weather, it usually earns some income according to how much it pays.

"you get what you sow".Xu Xiumei still remembered what grandma said.The land will not betray man.

The moon is very big tonight.The front yard of the Su family shone with silver light.

Su Genliang thought of the bamboo forest in the yard, and hurried out after eating.Su Yunman and Nangong Qingxian squatted aside after eating.

Smoked bamboo is yellow-green in color.Su Genliang squatted in front of a row of fragrant bamboos and picked up a stone.I don't know what he drew on the ground.

Su Genliang picked four bamboos of the same age and drew a line from the bottom with charcoal.He looked at Nangong Qingxian, "Can you use a saw?"

Su Genliang has simple carpentry tools, but there are saws, planes and chisels.He used to want to be a carpenter.It was sent by his brother-in-law.Carpenters are Lu Ban's disciples.It is said that they have to use the drills, planes, rulers, and ink buckets made by Luban to become orthodox carpenters.However, Su Genliang's ink bucket has already run out of ink, so it can only be used as a hanging string at this time.

Su Genliang demonstrated the saw to Nangong Qingxian and handed over the work to him.Qingxian's strength is slightly stronger than Su Genliang's.He put the bamboo pole on the chair and fixed it to the bamboo with his feet.Su Yunman also helped to hold it down, otherwise the round bamboo would easily shake.

In this way, one mark and one saw quickly cut four bamboo tubes of three lengths.Su Genliang used the ink bucket as a suspension line to draw dots on the bamboo poles and circles according to their diameters.He broke the center of the circle with a chisel and gave Nangong Qingxian a planer.The two learned while teaching, and soon dug the hole in the bamboo tube.

Su Genliang first connected a short bamboo tube with a medium-long bamboo tube to make two "Bu" characters.Then, he combined the two characters "Bu" to make the character "口" with long legs underneath.He also named four others.The two "mouth" characters are worn by four long bamboo tubes, which make a stable frame.

Su Genliang fixed the joint with hemp rope, and then used sharpened bamboo nails to hammer in from both ends of the joint for reinforcement.In the afternoon, Nangong Qingxian dug the pit a little deeper.He and Su Yunman set up firewood in the pit and started a fire.Su Genliang put a bamboo root with many holes on the fire and roasted it.The tongue of fire licked the moisture-laden bamboo, making the sound of splitting and beeping.

Su Yunman tugged on La Qingxian's sleeve.She is too short for him.Otherwise, she couldn't get his attention.

"Do you know what my father is doing?"

Nangong Qingxian looked down at her and said nothing.

"So you don't know..." Su Yunman murmured.Unexpectedly, Nangong Qingxian squatted down directly.

"Put a bamboo pole through the bamboo rat, and then roast it on the fire. It sounds very similar to this." Nangong Qingxian said casually.He shrugged his nose. "But it's much more delicious than this roasted bamboo."
