Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 195 Thinking too much

"Siwei, where's your salt?"

Gu Siwei wanted to be brave, but before he could say anything, he heard Sun Xiaomei asking where he kept the salt.

Gu Siwei said: "Sicui, bring salt to my little sister, don't you know where the salt is?"

Sicui said: "My little sister doesn't want half a bag of salt, she wants two or three catties of salt."

"How much?"

Gu Siwei is a little strange.

Sun Xiaomei said: "This dish has to be soaked in some water, and then salted to pickle it, so that it will be more delicious when it is cooked tomorrow."

"Isn't that too salty?"

As soon as Gu Siwei heard it, he knew that tomorrow's dish must be salty, how can it be so salty.

Sun Xiaomei smiled and said: "What I want is salty! Let everyone drink more water and eat more pancakes. The pancakes are hard, so you have to eat slowly. If you eat slowly, you will naturally feel full..."

"...".

Gu Siwei was speechless for a moment, he really didn't know the trick.

After thinking about it for a while, it’s right, don’t you eat less if you chew slowly, so Gu Siwei asked: “Is this the idea that the old landlords and rich people came up with before? It’s really...shameless, okay? ?”

Sun Xiaomei was surprised when she heard this: "You think too much, the landlord Laocai eats big mill pancakes? You really dare to think about it, Brother Siwei, I am afraid that the big millstone pancakes used to be eaten by the landlord Laocai's family outside. , this kind of pancake is not for the farmer to eat, it is brought into the mountain by the old hunter.

When entering the mountain, wrap it with white cotton cloth, and then wrap it with a layer of sesame oil paper. If you paste some beeswax carefully, it can be stored for half a month, or a month when the weather is good.

Give these to the farmer, and you... really think too well of the landlord's old fortune."

Hearing Gu Siwei's words, Sun Xiaomei covered her mouth and laughed happily.

Hu Yanqiu and Sicui also looked at Gu Siwei, especially Hu Yanqiu looked at Gu Siwei with the look of looking at the second fool, while covering his mouth happily.

"It's okay for me to do this...?"

Gu Siwei felt that he seemed a little out of place.

Sun Xiaomei said: "That's great, where can I find this meal, that is, the meal at your house is comparable to that of the previous one, but now this one is already top-notch. You must know that the old hunter who went to the mountain used to belong to the whole family, even the whole village." All the good food is brought to them, the best food is this kind of stone-milled pancake, you invite the big guys to eat this now, if others go out and talk about it, they will be slapped by the elders, I don’t know how to catch them.”

Hearing what Sun Xiaomei said, Gu Siwei felt at ease.

He thought about it for a while, and it was right that these people could eat white noodles, except during the Chinese New Year, maybe when someone in their family got married, it was really not easy for them to eat white rice and white noodles at other times.

That is to say, not only the mouth but also the ability to hold it. If there is no room to be close to the body, in the words of the folks, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat hot food even if I eat shit.

"That's good, I can't lose the folks, the folks in the village," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

After hearing this, Sun Xiaomei laughed and said, "If this is a bad treatment, then let him come here and treat us badly, any kind of bad treatment is fine. By the way, don't live in vain, look for salt, it's best to have four or five catties of salt."

"That much in one day?"

Gu Siwei didn’t prepare much salt. No matter how big Gu Siwei’s space is, he’s not interested in getting a dozen catties of salt and storing it in the space. There’s a shortage of everything in the store. When there’s a shortage of salt, there’s no need for a ticket. , as long as you have money, you can buy it. How could Gu Siwei be interested in getting dozens of catties and displaying it in the space.

Sun Xiaomei said: "It's about four catties. The water that comes down here can continue to kill water tomorrow. I can't pour out all the good salt water. Even if the water is finished killing, it can be boiled in a pot. It’s still edible after boiling off the salt in it.”

After hearing this, Gu Siwei gave Sun Xiaomei a thumbs up in his heart, and said in his heart: Look at how carefully people live their lives these days.

Seeing Gu Siwei's appearance, Hu Yanqiu guessed what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "You really don't know how to live. You can make money, but you just can't save money."

"What are you saving money for?"

Gu Siwei doesn't care about saving money at all. He doesn't spend much money himself. To be honest, most of the so-called luxury goods in the world are not interested in him. Yes, and I don't even have the slightest thought of getting involved, so there are not many places for Gu Siwei to spend money, and even less in this era.

In general, Gu Siwei earns far more than he spends. It's not that Gu Siwei is willing to save money, but that he can spend the money if he doesn't save it. Good things need votes.

It's okay to ask for a ticket, he can get tickets for the radio and television, and he can just find his second fool apprentice, Lao Tzu, but where is Gu Siwei going to get electricity for the radio and television?

So this era is an era where people save money. Don't blame Siwei. If an ordinary worker has the opportunity, he will spend the money he has saved for several years. At this time, workers don't have much idea of ​​saving money. In their view After all, they themselves are members of the country, and the country will not ignore them at any time.

"Okay, let's talk with the salt!" Sun Xiaomei urged.

Gu Siwei turned around and went into the house, walked into his room, and came out with a hemp rope in his hand, with several large bags of salt tied to each side of the hemp rope.

"Isn't that a lot?"

Sun Xiaomei saw that the salt must have weighed at least six or more than seven catties.

Gu Siwei smiled and said: "I remember wrongly, I don't remember buying such natural salt."

Hu Yanqiu smiled and said: "You are not very old, why is your memory not good all of a sudden, you can't remember how much salt you bought, and use your brain to look taller?"

This is Gu Siwei's own words. At this time, the Internet language did not appear. Don't use the Internet language. I don't know where the Internet is. That is, Gu Siwei can say this, and Hu Yanqiu learned it all at once. Now it is used on Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei was amused.

After getting the salt, Sun Xiaomei immediately started to prepare for work. First, she washed all the picked vegetables. At this time, people were not particular about it, so they just put them in the ditch of Gu Siwei's house to wash the vegetables.

As long as the water looks clear, everyone will think that it is no problem to wash your face, wash your dishes, or even drink it directly.

At this time, the biggest problem with drinking unboiled water is not from various chemical residues, but from nature, such as small snails, which are easy to infect schistosomiasis.

Gu Siwei doesn't drink raw water, and the canal in Gu Siwei's house is spring water, and there are no such things as small snails, let alone small snails, there is not even a fish fry.

Therefore, in Gu Siwei's eyes, the water in his canal is quite clean. Compared with the villagers in the village, some people still drink the water in the drinking water at the door.

It is used for laundry, for cooking, and even for cleaning the toilet. Of course, the river water is running water. If it is really stagnant water, Gu Siwei believes that the villagers would not drink the river water.

Everyone worked separately, and Gu Siwei wanted to help out, but Zhao Fangming really didn't want Gu Siwei to help, because the more Gu Siwei helped, the busier he was, he might as well come by himself.

In the end, Gu Siwei had to help the ladies wash and chop vegetables.

After washing and chopping here, all the vegetables were put into the earthen jar, poured with cold boiled water that had cooled down a long time ago, and after tearing into three packs of salt, Sun Xiaomei and the three of them carried the baskets into the vegetable garden again.

"Are there so many vegetables in the garden? How many baskets do you want to pick?"

Gu Siwei scratched his head subconsciously.

Zhao Fangming felt strange when he heard this: "Your family's own vegetable garden, don't you know how many vegetables grow in it?"

Gu Siwei said embarrassedly: "I seldom go in, this vegetable garden is mostly taken care of by Sicui."

Gu Siwei, the vegetable gardener, was quite interested at the beginning, but things became more and more complicated later on, such as weeding, pollination, and putting on airs, Gu Siwei was not interested in doing it.

On the contrary, Gu Siwei liked to look at the circle of small fruit tree saplings he had planted, and Sicui took care of the vegetable garden.

"Si Cui is really capable, and if someone marries back in the future, it will be a blessing for several lifetimes," Zhao Fangming boasted.

Zhao Fangming did not boast casually. Although he is more active now, he has not yet reached the level of boasting about people. He praised Sicui from the bottom of his heart.

"That's right, you don't even look at whose sister it is. Anyway, she won't be at a disadvantage in the future. I will take care of whoever marries and makes Sicui look bad, even if he is the king of heaven." Gu Siwei laughed.

Zhao Fangming glanced at Gu Siwei, nodded seriously and said, "Well, I believe it."

Now Zhao Fangming doesn't know about Gu Siwei's temperament. He is a guy who beats up as soon as he says he can.

Because in the countryside, even in the town, no one would dare to provoke someone with such a temperament. Not daring to provoke means that no one would dare to blackmail your interests in private.

Just like this time, Zhao Fangming didn't know that his father was eccentric?It's all like this, he Zhao Fangming is not a fool, but he knows it, Zhao Fangming just can't stop making trouble with his own old lady.

They are also sons, why do you think that the eldest brother has everything, and he, Zhao Fangming, has to do the same thing as the son-in-law?
Sometimes he told others about it, but they wouldn't believe it. He had seen a eccentric lady, but I had never seen such a eccentric one.

It is precisely because of this that the town uploaded that Zhao Fangming was not his father's kind, but this rumor was soon dispelled, because Zhao Fangming looked at least five points like his father.

"By the way, besides cooking roasted pork, what other dishes do you specialize in?" Gu Siwei asked.

"Ordinary banquet dishes. My grandfather used to be a country cook. Most of the banquet dishes passed down from home are not exquisite, but they are delicious and suitable for our taste. Why do you want to host banquets?"

Zhao Fangming asked.

Gu Siwei shook his head and said with a smile: "What kind of banquet am I hosting, I just asked casually, isn't there nothing wrong here?"

Zhao Fangming smiled, and didn't say that you are fine, but I am busy here.

The two of them were chatting about food one after another.

Originally, Gu Siwei thought that Zhao Fangming was enlightened and able to chat, but who knew that after chatting, he found out that the only few sentences he repeated were still the dull little cook in essence.
