Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 320 Complicated Steps

The altar lid was lifted.

Gu Siwei asked: "What is the mouth of this altar? Water?"

Sealing the mouth of the altar is to separate the outside air from the inside. Usually, mud and cloth are used to seal the mouth of the altar, but this is a special altar mouth. Pour some water into the mouth of the altar and snap the lid on.

Hu Yanqiu said: "It's not water, you can smell it yourself."

As he said that, Hu Yanqiu stretched out his finger, dipped the liquid from the mouth of the altar and put it in front of Gu Siwei's nose.

Gu Siwei hadn't smelled much yet, but he smelled a faint smell of herbs.

"It's not water? Did you add medicine?" Gu Siwei asked.

Hu Yanqiu said: "This is the prescription given by Uncle Tao. It is better to seal the jar this way, and it will not disturb the little flying insects. Have you noticed that there are no insects in our cave here."

"It may also be the reason why I put camphor wood."

Gu Siwei put gold on his face, like this kind of good thing that was praised, how could Gu Siwei give it to Tao Yisheng, of course he benefited from it.

Hu Yanqiu smiled and said: "Camphorwood is somewhat effective, but the prescription given by Uncle Tao is more effective. After I use it, there are a lot fewer ants here."

"So poisonous?" Gu Siwei felt as if he could guard against everything. Is there something wrong with this thing?

Hu Yanqiu laughed and said, "What's the poison? It's just that it prevents bugs but can't kill them. And have you noticed that the salted duck eggs pickled by our family are better than those sold in our store."

"That's for sure, the water here is good." Gu Siwei was a little proud.

Hu Yanqiu said: "The method we use is different from others."

"It's Tao Yisheng again? What kind of Taoism does this old Taoist practice, eating and drinking!" Gu Siwei laughed and teased Tao Yisheng.

Hu Yanqiu said: "Don't talk nonsense."

Hu Yanqiu still respects Tao Yisheng very much. In Hu Yanqiu's view, he is a charitable elder with rich knowledge.

But Gu Siwei saw Tao Yisheng as almost a charlatan.

Why do you say almost? Gu Siwei admitted that he has such a small skill, not many, but there must be.

"Okay, I won't say anymore."

Gu Siwei knew that his wife respected Tao Laodao, so he kept silent.

Helping my daughter-in-law with a flashlight, I watched her take out duck eggs one by one from the jar, wipe off the mud on the duck eggs when she took them out, and put the mud that was wiped off into a basin next to it.

Gu Siwei looked at it for a while and asked, "Is this going to be taken out later and thrown away or is it going to be reused?"

Hu Yanqiu said: "Naturally, it is reused. It is hard to get this thing. How can it be thrown away? It can be used for at least a few years, and it can be marinated for a dozen stubbles. In the next few years, it will not be used for mud mixing. That's it. After it is completely dry, put some water on it, and then just wipe it on the washed duck eggs."

Gu Siwei nodded and said: "That's really simple, this thing is Tao Taoism?"

"Well, otherwise, how could I mix so many ingredients? Don't underestimate this yellow mud. Not only is this mud selected and selected, but it has to be washed after washing. You can't take the big ones, and you can't take the small ones. You can’t keep it. The mud dug out of a catty can leave about three taels in the end. If this is not enough, you have to fry the mud. Dry frying removes the moisture of the mud. Then put the materials, and the materials must be prioritized. In the end, this thing has to seal the altar and go to the soil for about a week to get these pickled mud."

When Gu Siwei heard Hu Yanqiu say such a big thing, he opened his mouth and said: "Good guy! I have time to do this stuff, and five jars of eggs have been pickled. I remember when I was a child...".

"Do you remember when you were a child?" Hu Yanqiu asked immediately after hearing this.

Gu Siwei knew that he had slipped his mouth, and opened his mouth and said: "I always remember some and some don't. I remember that when we were young, our family pickled it as if it could be pickled with only salt water. Of course, sometimes it would be covered with mud."

"Oh".

As soon as he heard that Gu Siwei was still the same, Hu Yanqiu was not very interested.

After taking more than 20 eggs, Hu Yanqiu still didn't stop.

"Enough, enough. If their family wants to eat, come over and get it. One sex will give you so much, otherwise there will be no gifts to bring when you come to the door next time," Gu Siwei reminded.

Hu Yanqiu was very happy when he heard this, and after a while he explained: "Everyone will still eat tomorrow morning, what I made now is for everyone to eat tomorrow."

"Shall I have porridge tomorrow morning?" Gu Siwei asked quite casually.

Hu Yanqiu said: "Eating porridge, Uncle Li and the others responded that they want to eat something light, and I'm going to make green vegetable dumplings."

"I also gave them foreign food, because I think there is too much rice at home," Gu Siwei said happily.

Hu Yanqiu said again at this time: "I also want to be a little lighter. Haven't you noticed that Yanping's chin is a little round these days?"

"How old is he, besides, he wasn't fat before, okay?" Gu Siwei felt that his daughter-in-law was a little too worried.

Hu Yanping is not fat, let alone not fat, how many fat people are there now?According to Gu Siwei's thinking, it would be normal for my brother-in-law to have at least ten catties of flesh on his body.

"It's not good to be fat. After getting fat, many diseases will come. You said this yourself," Hu Yanqiu said.

When Gu Siwei heard that he hit his foot with a brick, didn't he make himself speechless.

"By the way, when are you going to Hong Kong City?"

Hu Yanqiu's brain was no slower than Gu Siwei's. Last second, he was still on his brother-in-law, but now he immediately jumped to the Hong Kong market.

"Why are you so interested in this these days? I'll take you there next time, and take a look at our home in Hong Kong City by the way. Don't have the opportunity to go to Hong Kong City at that time. You, the hostess, don't know about your home. Where is the door facing?" Gu Siwei said cheerfully.

Hu Yanqiu turned to look at Gu Siwei, and asked seriously: "You want me to go?"

"Isn't that nonsense, you are the woman of the house, it's normal for you to go there, it's abnormal if you don't live there, let me tell you, this situation will definitely not last long, you have to have confidence " Gu Siwei said.

When Hu Yanqiu heard what Gu Siwei said, he smiled happily, and suddenly said to Gu Siwei without thinking: "I am content with what you say."

"What's this called? It's yours." Gu Siwei was a little confused by Hu Yanqiu, and felt that something was wrong when his daughter-in-law asked about the Hong Kong city.

"I know, so I'm happy. My man has been to Hong Kong and knows he's coming back. Because he doesn't want to part with me." Hu Yanqiu suddenly looked at Gu Siwei sexually.

Gu Siwei reached out and pressed Hu Yanqiu's forehead, and then said: "I don't have a fever, why is it weird?"

Hu Yanqiu smiled happily, and patted Gu Siwei's hand away: "You just have a fever."

"You don't have a fever, what are you doing here?"

Gu Siwei felt that this was not like Hu Yanqiu in normal times. When he mentioned the port city, he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he was at a loss.

Hu Yanqiu said: "You will just think about it. Oh, yes, I will go back to the factory for a few days in a few days."

Gu Siwei said: "Then let's get up, why are you divided into several groups?"

Hu Yanqiu said: "I won't go back with you, I still have some things to do here, you go to yours and I will go to mine."

Gu Siwei said: "Okay, you just go home for a few days, by the way, does Yanping want to go back with you?"

"What is he going back for?" Hu Yanqiu said decisively.

Gu Siwei was overjoyed: "The father-in-law and his wife really don't plan to have this son anymore."

"He caused trouble when he went back, why not put it here, and someone will take care of it, even if he wants to cause trouble, he can't find anyone," Hu Yanqiu said.

"This is it!"

Gu Siwei nodded in agreement, who can Hu Yanping go crazy with in this place?
You can't find some old men in the family, why don't you find Da Mao?Can't find a monkey?
None of them are reliable.

Talking while picking up things like this, and waiting for it to be finished, Hu Yanqiu sealed the mouth of the jar again, and then said something to Gu Siwei and went back.

Gu Siwei went out of the storage hole and closed the door, and walked home side by side with his wife.

Now the sky has completely darkened, and when you look up, you can see the entire starry sky above your head.

When you look at the sky at this moment, you find that the horizon is full of stars, and below the horizon are dark rolling mountains. This kind of scenery is really endless.

"So lovely".

Hu Yanqiu said.

Gu Siwei said: "It looks good. Let's keep looking at it. We've been living here for decades, 100 years. At that time, we will still look at it like this. You hold my arm, and we will still be close together like this." .

"Then we are not two old goblins anymore, we will live to be more than a hundred years old." Hu Yanqiu was very sweet, he tightened his husband's arm, and pressed his face closer.

At this moment, Hu Yanqiu felt that her husband smelled so good that he couldn't get enough of it.

Just when the two were fully immersed in the world of the two, a broken gong broke everything.

"Sister, brother-in-law! Why did you take a salted duck egg for so long...".

Hu Yanping, who came up, didn't wink at all, and started yelling before the person arrived.

"What are you doing here at night without sleeping?"

Now Gu Siwei wants to kick his brother-in-law to the factory, what a big 24k pure gold light bulb.

Hu Yanping didn't notice that his sister and brother-in-law were in love at all, and he opened his mouth and said, "What time is it? I'm going to sleep. Also, brother-in-law, you don't have much fun here. I will go with you tomorrow."

After hearing this, Hu Yanqiu said: "You think beautifully, my parents sent someone to bring a letter, and let you wait two more days."

"How can I do this? What should I do with my studies? It's going to be winter vacation soon."

puff!

"I'm sorry, I didn't hold back!"

Gu Siwei quickly apologized.

Hearing his brother-in-law talk about study, Gu Siwei suddenly felt absurd.

Hu Yanqiu didn't save face for his younger brother at all. He opened his mouth and said, "Are you still talking about studying? You need to study if you get more than ten points on a test paper?"

"Ten points?" Gu Siwei was happy again.

But after seeing his daughter-in-law glanced at him, Gu Siwei immediately put on a straight face: "It's too inappropriate!"

Hu Yanping moved his mouth, but did not make a sound, but it was clearly three words: sycophant!
