Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 28
The meat hot cake is soft.

Gu Siwei tore open the pancake directly, tore a piece of pancake in half, and sandwiched half a large piece of meat.

"Come on, eat!"

Gu Siwei handed over the pancake with big meat to Si Cui.

Sicui pushed it a bit: "Brother, eat first."

"Eat as long as I let you eat, or leave." Gu Siwei didn't care to push the film with the little girl.

Hearing what Gu Siwei said, Si Cui quickly took the pancakes.

On Gu Siwei's side, he took another pancake, tore it in half, and stuffed the remaining half-stretched meat slice into the pancake.

Bite down, the pancakes with the smell of wheat, paired with big fat meat, the smell of the meat mixed with the smell of the cake burst in the mouth, just this taste, better than the meat buns that Gu Siwei had eaten in Tongcheng before All delicious.

I don’t know if it’s really taste beyond, or it’s been a long time since I’ve eaten real meat, but it’s delicious anyway.

Si Cui was holding pancakes here, gnawing like a wolf, and Gu Siwei felt that eating pancakes tasted even more delicious.

Looking at the little girl's film, Gu Siwei suddenly felt that if he didn't let her eat it, maybe the little girl's film would be able to make a noise of protecting food.

"Eat slowly, no one will grab you, and there will be more after eating," Gu Siwei said.

Sicui nodded, but she didn't stop talking at all. At this moment, Sicui felt that she had ascended to immortality, even if she died now, she would be satisfied.

Gu Siwei didn't care about what to say to Sicui, and he also started to eat.

Uh!Uh!
Si Cui was finally choked.

Gu Siwei immediately scooped up a ladle of water and handed it to Sicui.

Sicui took the ladle, swallowed the food in her throat, and continued to eat in big gulps.

With a piece of pancake served with half a large piece of meat, Gu Siwei and Sicui, a senior and a junior, were full.

He gave Sicui two more pancakes.

"Put away the rest, and bake them yourself tomorrow. Remember not to let others know. If people know that you left by yourself, don't I need to say it? And these are for you to eat tomorrow, I You have to eat before you come back, if you can’t eat, you know what to do.”

Gu Siwei burped in satisfaction.

Si Cui nodded immediately when she heard that, she now understands that she will not say anything anyway, after eating such white flour steamed buns with meat, she only knows at this moment that there are such delicious things in the world.

Gu Siwei didn't say much: "Clean up the rest and go to sleep."

After finishing speaking, Gu Siwei went back to the house.

Sicui tidied up happily, put away the pot with the big meat, and the pancakes.

Gu Siwei slept until dawn.

There is no way, now Gu Siwei just wants to stay up late and doesn't have the conditions. He doesn't have a mobile phone or internet, so what can you do if you let him be blind?
People who are married can play other things, what can he do, he can't just keep his eyes open and act stupid.

Get up, Gu Siwei is dressed and ready to go out. There is nothing to do today. Gu Siwei doesn’t want to eat anymore in the canteen in Zhuangzi, especially last night when he had a big belly and then went to eat stick noodle porridge. , I feel like vomiting when I think about it.

"Si Cui!"

After shouting twice, Gu Siwei didn't hear the answer, thinking that the little girl hadn't woken up yet, so he went out directly.

At this time, Sicui had already woken up, but she dared not agree, because she was crying with her head buried in the quilt.

After going out, Gu Siwei didn't go straight from the entrance of the village, but went west first, then over the mountains and ridges, and ran towards the town in a straight line.

Once it is turned on, the journey is much more convenient, and it is nothing more than a little brainstorming.

It would have taken several hours to travel, but Gu Siwei waited for the sky to brighten before standing on the outermost ridge.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the hills below, I feel that the hills are not much different from the plains. In fact, it is the same. Don’t look at the hills here, but all of them are farm acres. From the Sui and Tang Dynasties onwards, It is one of the most important agricultural bases in the country and one of the important tax sources of each dynasty.

The land is good and the taxes are heavy. No matter which feudal dynasty it is, the life of the peasants here is very difficult.

At this moment, the ground is full of green wheat seedlings. Even in the cold wind, everything here is green.

It is the beautiful scenery in the mouths of literati and inkmen, and it is also the painstaking efforts of farmers' families.

Coming out of the woods, Gu Siwei was about to walk towards the town. After walking for more than a mile, he saw groups of farmers carrying poles. Something like tears, but Gu Siwei couldn't be sure for a while.

"Young man, are you up so early?"

A middle-aged man carrying a load with a smile on his face passed by Gu Siwei, seeing Gu Siwei with both hands empty, he greeted cheerfully.

Gu Siwei was worried that he couldn't find anyone to ask questions. Hearing what the man said, he opened his mouth and said, "Brother!"

"Hahaha!"

When the man heard the address, he laughed immediately, and then said: "You don't have any hair on your mouth yet, so call me big brother?"

Only then did Gu Siwei remember that he didn't look in his thirties, but sixteen or seventeen, but he didn't want middle-aged men to take advantage of him.

"I call you big brother because I think you are young, and it looks like you are only 20 years old and not much older than me."

"This guy can talk."

Talking to Gu Siwei made the man slow down a bit. An old man who passed by him heard Gu Siwei's words, said something with a smile, and hurried past again.

"Okay, okay" the man laughed.

"Brother, what did you pick in your basket?"

"River mud, it was cleared from the bottom of the river, aren't you a local?" The man was surprised, glanced at Gu Siwei and said, "It's really not from this place."

Gu Siwei wrapped himself tightly, and the man didn't notice for a while, the collagen on Lao Gu's small face.

"River mud?"

"Yes, river mud is very fat from the fields. Not long ago, the county organized river clearing, and a lot of river mud was cleared out. Pile these things in the field, it's good fertilizer..." The man said while talking.

Hearing the good fat, Gu Siwei was a little uneasy, so after saying goodbye to the man, he walked in the opposite direction of the team.

Along the way, the men, women, young and old that Gu Siwei met, although they didn't have much flesh on their bodies, they were in a really good state of mind, all of them were smiling, and their baskets were full.

No matter which one it was, Gu Siwei didn't see the phenomenon of someone cheating and putting less in the basket, and everyone's shoulder poles were crooked.

It's also collective labor. People here are full of energy, which is beyond Gu Siwei's imagination. He thought that collective labor must be more lazy.

Don't talk about others, just say that Gu Siwei himself may find a free time to lie down and play some tricks out of the sight of others.

But these people are really different. In them, Gu Siwei saw a scene that he had never seen before, and he could still laugh and laugh while working.

This makes Gu Siwei really hard to understand.

But it's difficult to understand, so he came to the river after thinking about it all the way.

The river is very wide, about 30 to [-] meters, and the river water is generally clear at this moment. Standing on the bank, Gu Siwei can clearly see the fish swimming back and forth in the river.

On both sides of the river, there are piles of large and small mud piles.

"Master, is this mud good for growing food?" Gu Siwei saw an old man bending over to hook a rattan basket with a hook on a pole.

Hearing Gu Siwei's words, the old man glanced at Gu Siwei, and seemed to want to hate him, but looking at the young man's red lips and white teeth, he knew that he was not doing heavy work, and he would not be easy to hate him for a while.

"Young man, it's not good not to work. Now labor is the most honorable. Don't let your limbs work hard, and you don't know the five grains. This is not the new era..." said the old man.

Gu Siwei was a little speechless, and asked himself a question, you are so old, and suddenly there were a lot of words to catch up with him.

"Young man, this mud can be used as fertilizer, but if you want to grow something on it, you can't grow good crops."

At this time, a woman in her thirties smiled and said something to Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei was a little confused. According to his thinking, the silt in the river bed should be rich in nutrients, and it should grow well when used for planting crops. Why did the sister-in-law say no.

Seeing the doubts on Gu Siwei's face, the woman smiled and said: "This mud will harden after being exposed to the sun. It is too hard to grow. You can use less, but you can't hope to grow things on it... ".

The woman doesn't know why the mud at the bottom of the river bed is not good for growing crops. She just heard the old people say so, so she thinks so. She doesn't know that the ingredients in the river bed mud are too complicated and there are too many bacteria. These are scientific explanations. .

Gu Siwei nodded after listening, and he decided to listen.Get less river bed mud, and then find a place to get some loess.

But immediately the problem came, in broad daylight, there were people everywhere, even if he saw a suitable loess, it was not easy for him to pick it up, so he had to look first, and come back when it was too dark at night.

For Gu Siwei, it was a bit of a miscalculation to come out today. He really didn't expect that these people would come out to work in the winter, and even the half-grown children came over to help shovel mud and so on. Many people took off their coats and worked in vests.

It's not suitable to start, Gu Siwei thought it's better to go back, or there are still several hours before dark, staying here is just staying here, it's better to go home.

Just go back.
