Chapter 48 "Celebration"

Gao Chou's exclamation attracted Jiang Yan to the bedroom. Looking at the chicken droppings on the floor in the bedroom, Jiang Yan looked at Gao Chou with pity. He had been working really hard these days.

After driving all the chickens into the chicken coop, Jiang Yan picked up a shovel and shoveled all the chicken poop in the bedroom into the vegetable field, then sat down by the well and started washing her hands carefully.

"Jiang Yan! She's laying an egg!"

Behind him, Gao Chou held three eggs and ran towards Jiang Yan with excitement on his face. Jiang Yan, who was washing her hands, couldn't help but stand up and Brick cursed angrily.

"You just laid the egg!"

Jiang Yan's scolding made Gao Chou calm down instantly. He scratched his head in embarrassment. Gao Chou pushed the egg in his hand to Jiang Yan and showed it to the latter.

"Look, the three eggs were just laid and they are still hot!"

Seeing the eggs stained with chicken excrement in Gao Chou's hand, Jiang Yan pointed to the basin and motioned for the latter to clean it, then walked to the stove to prepare today's lunch.

After a simple scrubbing, the three eggs returned to their lustrous texture. After placing the eggs next to the stove, Gao Chou stood aside and spoke.

"Jiang Yan, what are you having for lunch today?"

Taking out the lighter, Jiang Yan lit the scraps of firewood. Watching the flames gradually ignite, Jiang Yan picked up a branch nearby and stuffed it into the stove pit.

"Have a good lunch today. Please help me go to the roof and bring down dozens of ears of corn."

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Jiang Yan decided to feed Zhao Dabai with his own food. After all, Jiang Yan had not fed Zhao Dabai properly for so long.

Hearing this, Gao Chou was a little shocked. Seeing Jiang Yan's persistence, he immediately walked aside, took out the bamboo basket and walked to the roof.

in front of the stove.

The firewood Jiang Yan put in became thicker and thicker, and the flame became more intense. Seeing that there was enough firewood in the pit, Jiang Yan walked to the well, brought a bucket of well water and poured it into the cauldron.

After doing all this, Jiang Yan put the bucket back in its place, then walked to the storage room and dug out three bags of military rations.

In the courtyard, Gao Chou walked down the roof with a large basket of corn. Looking at the hot water in the pot, Gao Chou immediately sat aside and picked up the husks of the corn.

"How much?"

While picking up the corn, Gao Chou saw Jiang Yan coming out of the farmhouse with three bags of military rations and asked.

"Uh... fifteen ears, right?"

Walking to the stove, Jiang Yan held the warm stove and kept thinking. During this period of time, Jiang Yan had never fed Zhao Dabai, so she had no idea how much he ate.

Last time, Zhao Dabai dug out nearly 20 corns from the sand, which may be Zhao Dabai's limit. This time, with military rations for seasoning, it is estimated that there should be less corns.

Seeing Jiang Yan being unpredictable, Gao Chou decisively threw 17 corns into the pot. Unlike Jiang Yan, he had a real understanding of Zhao Dabai's appetite some time ago when he was coerced by Zhao Dabai.

After doing all this, Gao Chou walked aside, sat down in his exclusive seat, picked up the book and continued reading.

The water in the pot gradually boiled. Jiang Yan watched the corns being cooked. He took out his chopsticks and fished them out one by one. Then, while the water temperature was still hot, he poured out most of the water, leaving a small portion to cook. egg.

It didn't take long to boil the eggs. After just a few minutes, Jiang Yan cooked all three eggs and took them out with the help of a colander. Jiang Yan tore open a military ration and poured in all the sauce and rice inside. In the pot of hot soup.

The hot water cooked the general rations into thick porridge. Smelling the wafting fragrance, Jiang Yan took out an appropriate amount of salt and sprinkled it on the rice.

For Zhao Dabai, taking in more salt is more helpful to his body. In the past, he often ate in the wild and took in very little salt.

Taking out a spoon and stirring it, seeing that the food was almost ready, Jiang Yan poured the vegetable porridge into a basin and brought it to the table.

Turning back to the stove, Jiang Yan poured some well water into the pot, took out a brush and washed it for a while, and then poured the pot water into the trough of the chicken coop.

When everything was ready, Jiang Yan sat at the table, poured water into the self-heating bag, and waited for the food to be cooked.Gao Chou on the side imitated Jiang Yan's movements and prepared his own food.

"Google."

After 10 minutes, the self-heating bag on the table finally finished cooking. He carefully took out the food inside. Jiang Yan took out the scissors and poured the food in the bag onto the plate.

Zhao Dabai on the side watched Jiang Yan move his chopsticks, then lowered his head to taste the meat porridge Jiang Yan prepared for him.

"Yeah! It's delicious!"

Tasting military rations for the first time in a long time, Gao Chou couldn't help but sigh. This kind of food with plenty of spices is simply a delicacy for Gao Chou who has been eating the original food for 20 years.

"Kahahahahah!"

Zhao Dabai, who was lying on the side, rolled up the meat in the basin and ate it. It was the first time to eat self-heating rice. It was like eating meat.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Jiang Yan picked up an egg, smashed it on the corner of the table, and then slowly picked up the egg.

As the outer skin peels off piece by piece, the pure white egg white inside the egg is exposed. It is warm and exudes the unique smell of eggs. When you take a small bite, the long-lost fragrance instantly fills your entire mouth.

"Boiled eggs~"

Tasting the eggs in her mouth, Jiang Yan couldn't help but let out a sigh, took out an egg and handed it to Gao Chou, and then crushed the last one into Zhao Dabai's food bowl.

Gathering around the table, Jiang Yan and others began to eat.

. . . . .

When everyone was full and the food on the table was in a mess, Jiang Yan kicked Zhao Dabai in the back as he looked at the corn cob next to him.

"Throw it out after eating."

Feeling the strength on his back, Zhao Dabai reluctantly twisted his body, then stood up and walked out of the door holding the corn cob. When Gao Chou saw this, he wisely picked up the dishes on the table.

After having enough wine and food, Jiang Yan sat motionless on the chair. Summer was coming, and the breeze became warm.

It has become Jiang Yan's habit to take a nap after meals, cover her eyes with a blanket, and take a nap in the courtyard.

"Ok?"

However, just as Jiang Yan closed her eyes, strong sunlight suddenly hit Jiang Yan's eyelids, causing the latter to cover her eyes.

“If you have time, you should plant some trees or plant vines or something like this.”

Recalling the old days in the countryside, where the elderly sat around in the shade of trees playing chess and drinking tea, Jiang Yan thought to herself.

The strong sunlight drove away Jiang Yan's sleepiness, and she struggled to get up. Jiang Yan returned to the storage room to continue her unfinished work.

Gao Chou on the side also lost his sleepiness when he saw this scene. He carried a bucket and watered the garden.

Returning to the storage room, Jiang Yan picked up the half-made armor. Due to the radiation rain, only half of the previous armor was made. There was also a set of armor and a pair of shoulder pads that were not finished.

However, because of today's celebration, a large part of the corn at home was eaten, and the next few days will only become more difficult. If he wants to maintain his daily food, Jiang Yan will have to go hunting from tomorrow on.

In this case, my own set of armor must be made as soon as possible tonight.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan waved the hammer in her hand.
