Chapter 14

Lin Baozhu was really surprised by Zhang Mantun's actions.Anyway, they are just a couple in name now, and outsiders are always talking about her being a sold-out daughter-in-law. Could it be that Zhang Mandun doesn't mind at all and is not on guard?

She carefully looked at Zhang Mandun's expression, and saw that he did not seem to be fake, and his expression was upright and determined, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, saying that he was a evil star, but she didn't know that he was an upright man.After what happened today, she has a better impression of him. She is not foolish and filial, she is not a good old man, and she knows how to live with her daughter-in-law without holding on to the airs of a stinky man. It is really rare.

You know, when she first accepted time-traveling, she was mentally prepared. If she met someone with a manly temperament, she had no choice but to temporarily accept it.As long as you don't bully her, just be his big man.But he didn't want to give her a surprise after only one night.

He was originally a vicious man, but now he is looking at the copper plate on the table with his mouth shy and embarrassed, with some embarrassment and irritability in his eyes, no matter how he looks at it, he finds it funny.

Of course, Lin Baozhu really laughed out loud, she put the copper plate into the faded purse, and then stuffed it into Zhang Mandun's arms, "Hold it, how can a big man wear it outside?" I don’t have any money. You don’t have to be embarrassed or feel embarrassed. In the future, as long as you behave well and don’t fight against me, I will take care of this family for you in a down-to-earth manner, and the situation will never be worse than it is now. "

Seeing that Lin Baozhu didn't despise him, and there was a smile in his words, Zhang Mantun breathed a sigh of relief, and twitched the corners of his mouth to answer the words.Thinking of the half of the field that was repaired at home, he said: "You rest first, I will go to the back mountain to have a look at the land first."

To live a stable life in the village, it is always impossible for the family to have no land and no production, so he started to reclaim wasteland in the back mountain early on.In fact, many people in the village have their own thin land, just to save trouble and avoid being overwhelmed by wild animals, so everyone usually opens land in front of the mountain.Especially in the village, there are many stories about ghosts and monsters in the back mountain. Those ghosts and evil things are only for attracting people's attention. At the beginning, many men disappeared when they entered the mountain, and they didn't even find a single bone.Just look for it, this back mountain. Most people are unwilling and dare not go there.

But Zhang Mandun is a man with no taboos, as long as he is alive, he is not afraid of any evil spirits.

Before going out, Zhang Mandun was worried that someone would come to find fault again, frowned and thought about it, and then went to the kitchen to get the mace he used to shoot wild boars before.

"If someone dares to come looking for bad luck, you just call them. Whether it's good or bad, wait until I come back." The rough man explained without blinking. Seeing Lin Baozhu's surprised expression, his voice paused in his heart A little awkwardly remedied, "Don't be afraid, if others don't provoke me, I won't commit the crime of beating people."

"Hey!" Lin Baozhu looked at the man who lowered his voice as much as possible, and burst out laughing. This man is really interesting. Those who don't know this look probably think that there is no silver 300 taels here. "Don't worry, whoever dares to bully me, I will return it."

What was supposed to be a serious explanation, but because of Lin Baozhu's strenuous tugging on a mace full of iron nails, it seemed funny.Of course, I didn't see Zhang Mantun who left in a hurry, otherwise I don't know if there will be another joke.

It's boring to be alone on the kang, plus the medicine was applied twice yesterday, and the doctor came to push the bruise again, and now she feels much better.He simply arranged himself to get off the kang, and then looked back and forth at the house carefully.

The yard is not too big, but it is well-equipped with all internal organs, and the kitchen and the small shed for farm tools and sundries are also neat.It's just that Xu Shi has only lived there not long ago, and there are few people around, so he seems a little deserted.

Lin Baozhu saw that there was a small room with loess and wheat straw in the southwest corner without a roof, and thought to herself, could it be a place to store things?But he didn't want to smell a smell as soon as he got close, and then realized that it was the hut, and immediately took two steps back while pinching his nose.Fortunately, there was no one at home, otherwise, seeing her poking her head into the hut excitedly, she might be a joke.

Next to the hut and the fence is the firewood shed where she was locked up at the beginning. It is said to be a firewood room, but in fact there is also an earth kang inside, and it can be regarded as a house after tidying up.There was nothing wrong with the area along the fence, but looking at the dirt-covered ground, she planned to dig and plant some vegetable seeds in March.

It's not that she can adapt to this kind of life in the village too much, but that when she was making tea in the mountains, she lived in a fellow villager's house for convenience. At that time, she also learned a lot of survival skills from the fellow villager's family.

Thinking of all the things in her previous life, she couldn't help sighing with emotion, it was a rarity at the time but she didn't expect it to become the golden finger of life today.Speaking of Goldfinger, Lin Baozhu couldn't help but smile wryly. If she had known that she would be a farmer's daughter-in-law, she might as well have learned more about farming and breeding from the brothers and sisters of the Agricultural College.It's better than planting tea trees, and everything else is half-baked.

Looking around while thinking about what vegetables to plant.It is said that the yard is small, but it also looks empty because of the lack of things. It just so happens that at this time, some rooster is flapping its wings and tossing on the hillside, and there are a few old hens who are planing for food.Thinking that eating an egg is considered a good thing these days, she couldn't help thinking about discussing with Zhang Mandun about building a chicken coop and raising a few chickens at home.Don't talk about selling money, just eat eggs, and you can also have meat during the Chinese New Year.

After looking around for a long time, even cleaning and setting things up, a long time passed.Seeing that the sun was coming to the top of her head, she scooped water from the water tank, washed her hands and prepared to cook.

Thinking that the man who got up early said he bought meat and bones, she simply decided to cook something delicious, which was a good start for the two of them.Seeing that piece of pork belly and a piece of fat meat, she started to get busy.

It is impossible to have no oil and water at home, so I simply washed the meat and fried it in a pan. After a while, the lard of Slasla flowed out along the meat.Take out the discolored pork belly and put it on, and then pour the freshly chopped fat into the hot oil pan.At this moment, the aroma diffused in an instant, and the fat meat gradually turned brown in the voice of Zhila Zhila, and finally turned into crispy lard residue.

The first time she ate lard residue that year, she was still amazed for a long time, she didn't expect that fat meat could be eaten in this way.Moreover, the lard from the villagers in the mountains came from this way, but it made her so rare.Later, watching CCTV’s Chef King Competition, a foreign chef chose out all the cooking oil in order to embarrass the Chinese team, but he didn’t expect the Chinese team to fry the pork chops when the main course was served.I still remember that at that time, foreign chefs had to withdraw from the competition on the grounds of unfairness. It was not until the Chinese chef cooked delicious pork with pork belly in front of him that he was stunned and had nothing to say.

At that time, she was often proud of the wisdom of the Chinese people. She really didn't expect that one day she would use this method to refine cooking oil.

She put the fragrant and crackling lard dregs into a bowl, and then she poured the rest of the oil and water into the oil pot, cut the dry pork belly into two pieces, and marinated the rest .Only then did he squat down to deal with the yams in the corner and the wilted carrots.

I found a clean twig, peeled the yams and carrots, cut them into hob pieces, and put them together with the meat pieces just now into the hot water that was just boiling in the oil pan for stewing.

After stewing the vegetables into the pot, she bent down to fill a firewood again.I just started making noodles, because there are few people in the family, and she doesn't know Zhang Mantun's appetite, so she only made a bowl and a half of noodles, and it is estimated that a small bowl of noodles will be enough.

Thinking about the current situation of the family and how long the family's food would last, Lin Baozhu felt a little worried.No matter how they say it, now they have to find a way to earn some money by themselves.

But worry is nothing but worry, the movements of her hands didn't stop at all.In a short time, the noodles that are more than one finger wide were cut and stacked neatly.

Lin Baozhu used the fire stick to pull the firewood twice, then lifted the lid of the pot and went to the side of the pot to look at the stewed miscellaneous vegetables.A pot of steaming stew that smelled like meat immediately aroused her greediness, and her stomach started to growl.

Looking at the time, she guessed that Zhang Mandun was about to finish her work, so she buried the flames to warm the food in the pot again.Then I dug some corn flour and mixed it with black flour to make potstickers.

Because the black noodles are rough noodles with wheat bran, not to mention the fine corn, it may be difficult for her to swallow.She simply cracked two eggs and put them in together. In fact, it would be better if there was milk, but it's a pity that she just thought about it.

After finishing all this work, Lin Baozhu moved a small bench and sat in front of the kitchen door to bask in the sun.Except for the empty stomach, this day is really leisurely and comfortable.

Just as she fell asleep, Zhang Mandun, who was covered in sweat and smelled of blood, stumbled back.Looking at it from a distance, the blood was flowing all over the ground along the skirt of his clothes, and the man with his mouth full of murderous eyes couldn't suppress the blood in his heart at the moment, let alone just looking at it if he got close It's terrifying.

The old man Zhang, who was still angry, just slapped Liu twice, and was disturbed by Zhang Erbao's howls crying for his father and mother. He was walking around, but he didn't want to bump into Zhang Mandun, who looked fierce and seemed to be about to kill , Immediately his legs and feet softened and he almost squatted on the ground.Fortunately, Zhang Mandun just squinted his eyes and looked at him, and then left without saying a word, and the blood dripping down his face as he passed by directly fell on his face, which was really frightening.
