Chapter 231 This meal still has to be divided with whom to eat
Two days later, the last cart of poles was pulled back to the team by Li Jianguo and Tao Daqiang.
Li Long and Li Qingxia stayed in the mountains for a long time, mainly to get some wild vegetables.
The morels are almost out of season. Li Long dug through several ditches and picked less than five kilograms of fresh ones in total.
And he got more than ten kilograms of the black tiger palm fungus that had begun to grow.
More porcini, pine mushrooms, and lots of straw mushrooms.
There were many unfamiliar ones, including mushrooms that looked very similar to gallinopsis, but he didn’t dare to pick them up. He even saw the green hands and a kind of purple mushroom, which looked very beautiful and strangely beautiful.
Li Qingxia dug up a few Codonopsis pilosula roots. He said that he might not be able to wait until the late autumn Codonopsis pilosula harvesting season - of course, the main reason was because he heard from Li Long that the Codonopsis pilosula here was big. He didn't believe it, but he believed it after digging it out. .
Then I couldn't help it - a root of Codonopsis pilosula weighs half a kilogram, who dares to believe it!
Most of these things were half dry in the sun, so Li Long and Li Qingxia put them in sacks and took them back.
When Li Qingxia was digging Codonopsis pilosula, Li Long went to pick wild strawberries, also known as field gourds.
At this time of year, there is not much fruit at home. They can eat it in the mountains, but their family cannot eat it, so Li Long picked two enamel basins full - it was too laborious. Although this thing is more delicious than strawberries, it is smaller!
Fortunately, the mountains here are all in patches, so you can pick them for a long time without moving.
Li Long himself picked while eating. After the two pots were picked, Li Qingxia also walked out of the forest carrying a small bundle of Codonopsis pilosula.
In the past two days, Li Long also made a special trip to the place where he was scratched by the lynx, but did not find the "murderer" there.
Li Long's idea of "revenge" was not very persistent. This lynx made him sober up. He was not a top hunter, not even first-rate.
After all, every hunting is basically an ambush, and the hunt is only once. The brave one will win when they meet on a narrow road. There really is no such thing - or it could be said that the lynx encountered each other this time, and then failed.
So Li Long is very sober and it is difficult to take revenge. Unless, according to Chen Hongjun, he was lucky enough to bump into that guy and it didn't notice him, then there might be an ambush.
The probability is too low and will not be considered.
Regardless of other considerations, cutting poles in the mountains during this period of time has been very fruitful, so Li Long didn't miss it too much. He packed up the wooden house and took everything he could take away with the carriage. , so when Li Qingxia dug out Codonopsis pilosula, Li Long packed it up and prepared to go back.
Two people packed the collected items. All the wild mushrooms and other things were put into the sack, except for these two pots of wild strawberries. Li Long poured them into a large pot, then stuck them on the back seat of the bicycle, and tied them with small pots.
The two of them rode to the county town. Li Long bought a few steamed buns, and the two of them ate while walking back.
When he arrived at the rural middle school, Li Long asked Li Qingxia to go first while he went to look for Gu Xiaoxia.
Li Qingxia smiled and expressed his understanding, then rode his bicycle back.
Li Long turned into the school. At this time, the school was over, and Gu Xiaoxia was cooking in the dormitory.
"What's for dinner?" Li Long asked before getting off the bicycle when he was riding his bicycle.
Hearing Li Long's voice, Gu Xiaoxia raised her head in surprise and saw that it was indeed Li Long. She walked over with a smile and said,
"Get ready to make vegetable soup... What are you doing? Are you here?”
“You’re back after finishing your work in the mountains.”
“It’s vegetable soup.” Gu Xiaoxia whispered, “Just drink it to lose weight. Ordered soup.”
"That's not possible." Li Long shook his head, "You have such a good figure, why should you lose weight? You can't lose weight... By the way, I got some dried mushrooms in the mountains, but they were not completely dried, so I left some for you here."
He took off the bag, took out the dried mushrooms, and asked Gu Xiaoxia to get a basin to put them in.
Gu Xiaoxia also knew that she was not polite to Li Long, so she took some dried wild mushrooms and said hurriedly:
"Enough, enough..."
Li Long fell down again Some said:
"I can get some in the mountains in a while, so feel free to eat them. By the way, there are also wild strawberries, which are quite sweet..." He poured some more wild strawberries for Gu Xiaoxia.
Gu Xiaoxia also saw wild strawberries for the first time. She picked up a red one and stuffed it into her mouth, tasted it, and said in surprise:
"It tastes so good...this is a wild strawberry!"< br>
“Yes. There are many mountains, and the locals call them Dilao... ...I don’t know why it’s called that.”
“I bought you something, just wait.” Gu Xiaoxia suddenly thought of something. He asked Li Long to sit down first, and then went to take it out from the desk drawer. A small rectangular iron box came and said:
"Here, try it."
Li Long recognized it at a glance. Isn't this the Flying Eagle shaver? The manual kind.
Li Long took it and touched his beard. It had really grown a lot during this time.
Li Long’s beard is inherited from Li Qingxia, which is a beard. According to the locals, it is a “faceless beard”. However, Li Long is young now and has not shown it yet. He has just started to transform from hair to beard.
"Then let me try." Li Long said with a smile.
"There is also shaving cream..." Gu Xiaoxia took out another tube of shaving cream and said, "It's not easy to scratch your face with this. I'm cooking now, you wait."
Li Long is here, here again There were no steamed buns, and there was no time to steam them now. There were wild mushrooms and roasted meat, so Gu Xiaoxia planned to make a slice.
Li Long first opened the razor box, took out the blades in a paper bag, installed them on the knife holder, washed his face, applied shaving cream, and then started shaving carefully. .
I haven’t used this for a long time and I’m really not familiar with it.
After all, in my last life, I used electric ones for most of my life. Now that I took this out, the sharp blade still made Li Long a little worried.
After carefully shaving his face, there were no injuries. Li Long was very happy.
The Adam's apple was taken care of very carefully, and it was not injured, which is good.
Then there was a pain on both sides of the chin, and Li Long knew there was blood.
Okay, luckily it was just a little bit, and then I was more careful - the scratched place hurt!
After finally shaving, I rinsed the razor with water, then disassembled it and put it back in the box.
Finally, I washed my face and looked at the injured area. It was a small cut and skin trauma, but it was fine.
Here Gu Xiaoxia was making dough. After watching Li Long finish scraping, she came over to take a look, and then nodded:
"It's okay, it's a little broken, I'll use it more often in the future."
"Well, I understand." Li Long put the razor box in his pocket, "Are you trying to pull out the dough?"
"Well, sit down for a while, this is quick Very.”
"Okay." Li Long was not polite and sat on Gu Xiaoxia's bed, looking around at the single dormitory.
The room is quite big, but unfortunately it is only a single room. Gu Xiaoxia kept it very clean, with a clear distinction between the cooking area and the living area. There were a lot of things on display, but they were messy but not cluttered.
The desk also has a dressing table. There is a layer of newspapers on it, and there is a small mirror. There are a bunch of books, papers and pens neatly placed on the corner of the table. The bedding on the table was neatly folded, and you could faintly smell a faint scent of washing powder or other fragrances.
Li Long glanced around and said:
"You still need a small table here. I'll bring some wood over in the next two days and ask the bent carpenter to build you a small square table to put things conveniently. And build a shelf..."
"Don't, don't, don't. The dormitory is so big that it can’t fit in.” Gu Xiaoxia waved her hands hurriedly, “Just keep the wood as it is. With..."
"Let's build a small table first, otherwise it won't be good if everything is placed on the ground. There are a lot of wood in the mountain. This time I need to pull the pole. Otherwise, how many cars can I pull? Come back with the wood.”
As for things like high and low cabinets, just beat them and pull them over when the time comes.
He himself didn't feel it. The relationship between the two people was actually at a relatively delicate stage now. They were both thinking about each other, and when they gave, they didn't take any utilitarianism, just hoping to make the other person live a better life.
It is completely different from when I was dating Wu Shufen. At that time, I would pay attention to the likes and dislikes of the other person, and I hope to please the other person.
Now, I just want to make the other person live a better life, and even have a bit of machismo because of this.
When Gu Xiaoxia makes the noodles, you don’t put the vegetables in the pot first and then pull the noodles out. She stir-fries the vegetables first, washes the pot, pours water to boil, and then stirs the dough. After the dough is cooked, she pours the fried vegetables in. When it is finally out of the pot, she puts some cilantro and chopped green onion, and then drips A few drops of sesame oil.
Li Long also made the noodles in the same way in his previous life. He subconsciously said:
"Kneel the noodles thinner to get more flavor."
"Okay." Gu Xiaoxia quickly grabbed the noodles and put them on her arms, with a little sweat on her forehead.
After removing the fire from the pot, Gu Xiaoxia first filled a large bowl for Li Long, handed him the bowl and chopsticks, and then filled a small bowl for herself.
"Why are you so little?" Li Long asked.
"I don't have a big appetite." Gu Xiaoxia explained seriously, "These are enough."
She took out another half bowl of chopped pickles drizzled with sesame oil and placed them on the desk superior.
Li Long picked some pickles, put them in a bowl and ate them.
"Well, it tastes good!" Li Long took a bite and exclaimed, "You can go and be a chef in a restaurant!"
"How could..." Gu Xiaoxia blushed Face, lowered his head and started eating with small mouthfuls.
Li Long’s words made her very happy.
Teacher Wang next door also smelled the smell. She went out to grab some food, and then she saw Li Long's bicycle. She hesitated and stepped back.
It's better not to disturb the sweet moment of the young couple.
Li Long ate slowly at first, chatting with Gu Xiaoxia while eating.
"Is it difficult to teach students?"
"It's okay, occasionally naughty, but most of them are obedient." Gu Xiaoxia said, "Chinese is pretty good... I'm here I’m reviewing while I’m in class.”
“Have you been back these days?”
"I went back and met my dad. My dad said that because of your relationship, the captain arranged a light job for him, asking him to distribute wire to each house and calculate the work points, which is very good..."
When Gu Xiaoxia said this, her mood was a little complicated.
When he went back, Gu Boyuan laughed at himself and said what he just said. When did he, a dignified college student, fall to the point where he had to be in love with someone who hadn't even finished junior high school?
But what can happen if things are like this?
Actually, Gu Xiaoxia also wanted to persuade Gu Boyuan that if he really wants to be obsessed with his reputation as a college student, he can just wait until the Education Bureau takes the exam. With his background, it was not difficult to get a position - at this time, the entire Northern Xinjiang was in great shortage of talents, let alone highly educated talents.
But she didn't persuade him. She knew that her father was obsessed. He didn't plan to do anything else in his life. He just wanted to stay here, to hide from the world, or to think about it. She just didn't want to think about so many things.
If this is the case, why complain?
This is my father, I can’t complain like this.
If his father's character was half as flexible as Li Long, his life might not be like this now.
"That's not for my sake, Lao Xu. Captain Xu just said that, to praise me, and then leave it to the team if I have any work later, so as to give the team more work. "Li Long picked another chopstick of pickles and said while eating, "But it's good for Uncle Gu to do this. Although the money is not much, it is not tiring."
"So how are you in the mountains?" Gu Xiaoxia still couldn't forget her last experience in the mountains. "Is the grass turning yellow now?"
"Not yet, but there are already signs of turning yellow near the outer mountains. Want to see very green grassland, You have to walk very far into the mountains..."
"That's okay, I still remember the scenery..."
Looking at Gu Xiaoxia's intoxicated look in her memories, Li Longxin felt Thinking, should I get a camera?
After finishing a large bowl of slices, Li Long was already sweating. He ate happily and he was also very happy.
"There's still half a bowl in the pot, I'll fill it for you..." Gu Xiaoxia stood up and said after watching Li Long finish eating.
“We’re full.” Li Long stood up, took the bowl and went to wash it, “That’s enough. We had something to eat on the way.”
“Put the bowl down and I’ll do it. Wash." Gu Xiaoxia quickly stood up and said, "What are you washing..."
"Wash and rinse, it's just a matter of convenience." Li Long said, "Hurry up and eat. You can't eat this meal too fast, but you can't eat it too slowly either."
Gu Xiaoxia watched There was still half a bowl of rice in his bowl, so he blushed a little and quickly lowered his head to pick up the rice.
After dinner, it was getting dark, and Li Long said:
"Then I'll go back first, and you can just close the door while you're here. How's the safety here?"
"The school guards will patrol at night, and we will also lock the door at night. It is safe." Gu Xiaoxia said.
Li Long thought for a while and felt that this dormitory was still a bit thin.
Should we buy a yard in the countryside or let Gu Xiaoxia take the exam in the county?
This can't be rushed.
Fortunately, Gu Xiaoxia is not the only one in this row of dormitories. If she calls out something, others can hear it. Li Long is not very worried yet.
Farewell to Gu Xiaoxia, Li Long got on his bicycle and walked back. When he was approaching the next village, Li Long discovered that the wheat fields had begun to be tidied up.
The most tiring and difficult season of the year is about to begin.
Li Long had a headache just thinking about the time when the wheat was about to be harvested.
Not only do you have to cut wheat under the bright sun, but the wheat fields are piercing, and the efficiency is not very high. You have to bend over all day long, which is comparable to manual cotton picking in later generations.
Too difficult!
