Farmhouse pretty cook

Chapter 31
Mu Xiang took a shovel and a bamboo pole from behind the door. There were no snakeskin bags in ancient times, and most household farming tools were made of bamboo, and this bamboo pole was no exception.

Opening the door, she stepped over the broken courtyard wall. Last evening, Lin Fugui took Wang Xi and the others to clean up the damaged part of the courtyard wall of her house, and cut it neatly, so that it was convenient to put adobe on it.During dinner last night, Mu Xiang also told them that she wanted to open the door here.

After all, Lin Fugui is an elder and sees a lot. He suggested to move the old door here, so as to save her from buying another door. As for the empty door frame, seal it with adobe, the same is true.When it was time to paste the wall, the three of them would paint the entire courtyard wall with mud again, repairing what should be repaired, and rectifying what should be done, so that it will look like a newly built one.

Mu Xiang didn't know how to thank them for helping her so much and saving her a lot of money. She wanted to treat them to a good meal after the house was finished.

Under the morning sun, Mu Xiang was extremely busy.

After digging out the ashes, pick up a bamboo pole, transport the ashes to the leek ridge, and carefully cover the cut off roots of the leeks.Her family has a hut, which is built next to the toilet, and it is also dilapidated and old.On weekdays, Mu Xiang doesn't like to go to the toilet, because it is too dirty and the hut is too short.

In spring, the side of the hut is covered with weeds, and the deepest part of the grass is as high as a person. It looks scary. When she pours the bucket in the morning, she always walks on her feet, for fear that snakes will suddenly come out. Insects or something.

After finishing the leeks, Mu Xiang stood by the hut and looked at it for a long time, finally gritted her teeth, went home and got a hoe, and hoeed the weeds by the hut.The soil here is very soft, unlike clay soil, which cannot be hoed.

Before the sun came out in the morning, the temperature was not high, but Mu Xiang was sweating profusely from exhaustion.

Caiyun woke up when she went back to get the hoe. Now that she had braided her hair and washed her face, she came to help, "Sister, this hut needs to be strengthened, otherwise it will fall down when it snows heavily in winter!"

Mu Xiang agreed, holding a hoe in one hand, standing on the side panting, "How about waiting for me to come back in the afternoon, let's cut some bamboos, before winter, we have a lot of work, not only the vegetables in the field have to be planted, but also Prepare more firewood, otherwise there will be no firewood in winter, and you will die of cold."

Caiyun said: "Well, when Mu Lang and I are free, we go to collect firewood. We collect a little every day. After a long time, we can gather more firewood."

The matter of repairing the hut will not be taken care of for a while, but the hygiene can be improved.

Caiyun got some bamboo strips to make a simple broom, and cleaned the inside of the hut thoroughly, especially the cobwebs on the top, lest they accidentally get it on their hair every time.

Mu Xiang pushed the weeds aside with a hoe, put them on the side to dry, and set them on fire when they were dry.

Seeing that it was still early, she suggested to dig some soil with Caiyun. Now we can’t pad the vegetable garden, but spread all the soil on the side of the courtyard wall. When we feed the chickens later, the chicken feces will be mixed in the soil. Picking the soil into the vegetable garden, while fertilizing, can also raise the vegetable garden. There is no rush, it is better than digging the soil to pad the vegetable garden. The excavated soil has no fertilizer, and it is not good to grow vegetables harvest.

Caiyun said pleasantly: "Sister, your idea is great, then let's dig the soil now, let's go to the place where Brother Wang Xi and the others dug the soil yesterday!"

Mu Xiang nodded, "Sure, let's get up and do a little bit every morning, so little makes more."

The two of them worked for nearly half an hour, and they dug a lot.

After work was over, Mu Xiang went home to cook breakfast, while Cai Yun took a big broom and was sweeping the yard.The adobes made yesterday were all placed outside to dry in the yard. When the sun came out, the straw covering them had to be removed to let the adobes dry as soon as possible.

In the morning, corn mush was cooked, and after breakfast was cooked, Mu Xiang was worried that Da Mei would be in a hurry, so she took a bite of the meal first, and saw that Mu Lang was still asleep in the back room, so she didn't wake him up, but told Caiyun to be more careful at home .

Before going out, she would take out the silver from the crack in the wall, count five taels of silver, carefully put it in her bosom, then went to Damei's house, met Liu Erdan on the way, squatting at the intersection to play.When Mu Xiang passed by him, this kid had a strange expression for some reason.Mu Xiang looked amused, and deliberately greeted him.But Liu Erdan jumped up in fright, and was about to lift his foot to go, but he lifted his foot halfway, and put it back again. It seemed that his pride made him not want to admit defeat in front of Mu Xiang.

Mu Xiang still had something to do, so she didn't talk to him too much, and she didn't stop walking.

Just when she was about to leave, Erdan Liu suddenly said, "I...can I go and play with Mugou...Mulang?" too used to it.

Mu Xiang stopped when she heard the words, turned around to look at him, didn't ask why, just said with a slight smile: "My family Mu Lang is not stupid, he is simple, if you take him to play, don't bully him , if you let me know that you are bullying Mu Lang, see if I don't kick your ass into four pieces!"

Liu Erdan shivered, and hurriedly assured her, "I'm just looking for him to play with, and I won't bully him."

Mu Xiang smiled, "Then go, I have to tell you something, my family Mu Lang will be of great use in the future, if you are smart, you should know what to do." She said this purely because she wanted to buy Liu Erdan , As for whether Mu Lang is of great use, no one can say for sure. It is impossible to talk about tomorrow's events, let alone more than ten years later!

But Liu Erdan seemed to be convinced of her words, nodded heavily, turned around and ran towards Muxiang's house.

Mu Xiang's face was full of red beans, showing a relaxed smile, and turned to go to Damei's house.

Chang Shuan was harnessing the donkey cart at the door, and when he saw her coming, he politely asked her if she had eaten and if she wanted some tea.

Mu Xiang shook her head and stroked his donkey.It's a pity that there is no one in her family who can make a donkey. She has the heart, but she is powerless. Donkeys are not easy to raise, not as easy as raising chickens and ducks.

When Damei was done, Chang Shuan drove the donkey cart, let Mu Xiang and Damei sit on the cart, and went to town.

When he was approaching the town gate, he bumped into that guy Zhao Xiuwen again.He was admitted to Jinshi, on the one hand, he wanted to go to the entrance examination, on the other hand, he wanted to move around to see if he could get a petty official, so these days he was always running errands.

Changshuan greeted Zhao Xiuwen. After all, they are all from the same village. If you can't see them, just pretend you haven't seen them. Are you strangers?He thought so, but Zhao Xiuwen didn't take it seriously, he just nodded slightly, as a gift to him, with a pair of thick eyebrows and black eyes, he glanced at the cart, and when he saw Mu Xiang sitting on his carriage, his face turned pale. How ugly.
