Villager of Daming

Chapter 419
On June [-]th, the moon should be round at night, and the sun should be round during the day.

Today is two volts, and at the same time it is a great heat.

There is not a trace of cloud in the blue sky, and the light directly shines down, but it still makes people feel stuffy and humid.

Everyone was sweating non-stop, even in the shady room, Li Chang and Hanhan were so hot that they were about to stick out their tongues.

"Hanhan, I found out that this year's dog days are hotter than in previous years." Li Chang took a sip of tea and wiped his sweat with a silk handkerchief.

"That's what you said last year." Zhu Wentian looked at the shadow on the ground when someone walked by on the road outside.

Everyone tried to choose to walk under the house on the south side, so the team was chaotic, and someone had to run into the sun.

At this time, people walk to the left, not to the right, including vehicles. When two vehicles cross each other, they all lean to their respective left.

"This year is hotter than last year, I'm not wrong." The head of the village followed his probe and looked: "Then can an egg be fried on the road?"

"It's not yet noon, I went to the village to make arrangements to make water and rice, and to cook sorghum rice, which is convenient for water and has large grains.

Then soak the cucumbers in well water, and after a while, make garlic cucumbers. I went down to find a large pot and fried two pots of soybeans.

Prepare a pot here, add salt to the well water, put more chopped green onion, add pepper noodles, and go. "

Zhu Wentian said he was going downstairs to work.

The head of the village stopped him: "Hanhan, the box lunch is enough, who are you going to eat the sorghum rice and fried salt beans?"

"Give it to those who are usually ready to fight the fire, let them come out and water the road, and don't care about a meal?" Zhu Wentian looked at the chief.

"Okay, you go fry, I'll call someone." The chief let go of his hand, and went downstairs with Hanhan.

He first arranged for others to cook sorghum rice and prepare vegetables, and then went to Jubiqi across the street to find Zhu Xi and told him what had happened.

"They must be very happy. Someone is taking care of the food, but there are more than 1000 people! Maybe there are some who volunteer to help."

Zhu Xi also thought it was too hot, so it was a good way to water the road, but there were too many people, and I was afraid that Xiaqiu Village would not be able to prepare in time.

"I've sent people back to the village to cook, and Hanhan is frying beans in a big pot." It's not a problem if there are too many guarantors for the village chief.

"I'll go find my elder brother." Zhu Xi was relieved, he had to go to his elder brother, he couldn't mobilize the army, but the crown prince could.

There are more than 1000 sergeants in charge of fighting the fire, plus other non-governmental organizations, who will cooperate together when the fire is on fire.

Non-governmental organizations must receive special training and do not rescue them blindly. They are mainly to face the enemy's fire attack, not just to contribute to someone's escape.

Some of them are working elsewhere at the moment, and such people cannot participate.

Zhu Biao, who was teaching in Dabentang, was called out. After learning about the situation, he asked for a leave of absence to make arrangements, and someone rode a horse to give the order.

Two quarters of an hour later, buckets of water were pushed out. Someone walked behind and opened the hole under the bucket to control the water flow. As the car walked, the ground got wet.

Some people sprayed the road with a pump in their hands, and sprayed the places that were not watered to moisten.

Just as Zhu Wentian was sweating profusely to fry the third pot of soybeans, the village sent someone to push a cart to deliver a vat containing sorghum rice that had been cooled by well water.

Cucumbers are also being delivered one after another. The kitchen here prepares salt water from well water, green onion, and pepper noodles. The fried beans before are poured into a basin, and a basin is added on top.

The soybeans just out of the pot are hot, absorb water, and then they are soaked. Whether it is salty or not depends on how much salt is put.

Anyway, this time I didn’t put less, there are many people, and I just eat beans when there is less salt. This is delicious!

People eating boxed lunches came one after another, and they were overjoyed when they saw sorghum rice and beans in salt water.

As a result, they still served hot rice, fried chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, and eggplant. With these two dishes, there is no box lunch worth five cents now.

Fortunately, there is a lot of cooking oil, and the chicken oil is fried with the chicken oil that is a by-product of the iron chicken rack.

"It's two hours today! Why don't you give me something good?" Someone shouted.

"I'll give you a plate of cooked food for each of you. It's hot today. I guess there are not many people buying it. Let's see which one doesn't sell. I'll bring it to you."

The village chief thought that it was really late, he should have a good meal, make up for it, and asked a few children to go to the deli to have a look.

"In fact, it's better to make fried noodles today, which is cheaper than the current one." Someone else suggested.

"It's late, next year!" Li Chang replied to the other party.

In fact, the main reason is that there are few noodles. His Royal Highness is going to tour the north, and there must be supplies on the way, so let the food over there stop selling here.

Over there is the main wheat producing area, and once they stop, the wheat reserves in Xiaqiu Village will drop, so they cook rice for fear of special events.

"It's good to have something to eat! If you talk more, the head of the village will get angry and won't sell boxed lunches tomorrow. Where are we going to cry?

After eating, we just took a break and helped to pour water twice more. The sun is strong, and the water will dry up in a while.

The water rice cooked by the chief is for them to eat, right?That's why Xiaqiu Village is so benevolent. "

Someone noticed it, it was obviously made temporarily, and Hanhan fried the beans himself.

"His Royal Highness arranges it." The head of the village naturally gave Zhu Biao the credit.

Zhu Wentian finished frying the fourth pot, threw the shovel away, turned around and rushed into the courtyard behind the house.

He found clean clothes, went to the back of the well, took off the old clothes, fetched a bucket of water, and drenched from head to toe.

A quarter of an hour later, he washed all the previous clothes, and with his hair loose, he ran under the sun and shook his hair with his hands.

People walking on the street feel much cooler, and the water takes away a lot of heat.

Moreover, the streets in Yingtianfu are all made of stones. Nanjing used to be called Stone City, and there are many stones here.

For example, the Yanzhi River looks beautiful because of the different colors of stones in different ages. It is called Yanzhigang.

There are many stones, so it is not possible to use soil to pave the road. I am not afraid that the road will be muddy after watering, but because of the splashing of water, people can smell the smell of stones in the air.

After watering once, plus the time to fetch water back and forth, it was the end of noon.

The workers were also sweating profusely and poured a lot of mung bean water.

The lunch box eaters took over their work sensibly, and went to help continue to fill the water, and start over again from the beginning to the dry and hot place that had been watered before.

They went to the Xiaqiu Village Box Restaurant to wash their hands and faces, and then served a bowl of sorghum rice water cooled by well water, served with patted cucumbers and fried salt beans, and ate slowly.

The taste of soaked soybeans is similar to that of sorghum rice. They are both grainy. The more you chew the two together, the more delicious they will be.

Zhu Xi came over to eat together: "I thought I could eat a bowl of noodles, but when I saw this, I stopped eating noodles. Have you been watering the past few days?"

The head of the village and others also ate this: "If it rains, stop it. If it doesn't rain, you have to trouble everyone."

The people nearby said that it is not troublesome, that it is their duty to work, and that they can eat free good meals, which is considered to be earned.

Xiaqiu Village does not provide meals, so they still have to do it.

"Li Zhang, our nephew will be full moon in three days, it's amazing! The first child of the next generation."

Zhu Xi took two bites of rice and reminded the head of the village, full moon, your full moon ceremony will not go wrong, right?
　The farmer came back to life, but still felt a little uncomfortable, much better than before.
