Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

Mao Xiaosui asked Heizi to stay in the haystack at noon. He did not go to the mountain in the afternoon and waited until Li Yunshan came back.

Li Yunshan came back late, and the sun would set in another hour.

She asked "Why so late?"

Li Yunshan put the basket on the ground, opened the curtain and entered the house. Then he said, "I came from Ji, and I paid back the Ding family's money."

Mao Xiaosui didn't care about anything else and said, "There was a thief at home this morning, and Heizi also saw it."

Li Yunshan stopped taking off his clothes and asked, "Is it stolen?"

"No, Heizi found out."

Li Yunshan nodded, "I'll bring a few dogs back next episode. I'll tie two of them in one yard and make the rope longer."

Mao Xiaosui nodded. She had guessed that her family would be remembered, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon and in broad daylight.

What does this mean? It means that the person dare not come at night and can only come during the day.

The reason for coming during the day was also very simple. Li Yunshan left and she went to the mountains, which meant that the thief was always keeping an eye on their house. Otherwise, he would not have known so clearly. He was most likely from a nearby village.

She asked Heizi again, "Do you know that thief? If you know him, just call him."

Kuroko shouted.

Li Yunshan also guessed, "Is it Chen Bao?"

Kuroko tilted his head.

Li Yunshan sighed, "I know it, but I don't know its name." He stopped asking.

The two of them didn't tell anyone about the thief.

After dinner, Li Yunshan started cleaning the pig's head again. He had already cleaned the mouth. He plucked out the long hair on the outside, burned the small hair, and then cut off the ears to clean it up.

Li Yunshan asked her, "Do you want to cook it now?"

"Tomorrow." She said, "Cook the two pots together and cook the liver and lungs."

Li Yunshan went to the kitchen and brought over liver, lungs and pig paws.

The kitchen was cold, and the pork liver, lungs and paws were frozen.

She poured some warm water into it and let it slowly thaw.

One night after being tired, Mao Xiaosui fried some scrambled eggs with mushrooms, heated up some steamed buns and ate them before going to bed.

The next day was another sunny day, but the wind was very strong. After dinner, Li Yunshan planned to kill rabbits. Li Ruyi held Xiao Ruyi and wanted to follow. Mao Xiaosui stopped her quickly and said, "Don't take Xiao Ruyi with you." It will scare you."

Li Ruyi held her tightly, and Mao Xiaosui patiently explained, "Little Ruyi is also a rabbit. If your father kills a rabbit, it will be scared."

Only then did Li Ruyi let go, turned around, picked up Li Ankang, who was still eating steamed buns with meat, and left.

Li Ankang staggered and almost fell to the ground when she pulled her, and quickly followed her at a trot.

Mao Xiaosui began to wash the liver, lungs and pig's paws.

The liver only needs to be washed on the surface, and the lungs need to be rubbed until they are broken and washed.

The nails on the pig's paws have been cut, put them on the fire to burn the hairs, and then scrape off the black parts on the outside.

After everything was packed, she took it to the kitchen to cook.

There is no need to smoke in advance over a brazier. Put the pig head and pig paws in a pot, put the liver and lungs in a pot, throw a few peppercorns and green onions in each, add firewood to the stove and cook slowly.

After cleaning everything, she went to bring a plate of steamed buns to heat in the house, sewed the cloth on the quilt, and swept the house again. Suddenly she remembered that Li Yunshan didn't bring oil paper when he came back yesterday.

After cleaning up the house, she went to the kitchen to add firewood and then went to the backyard.

Li Ruyi and Li Ankang squatted by the brazier to warm themselves up. Next to them was a yellow dog eating offal.

The yellow dog ate so quickly that his belly was so round that it protruded.

Mao Xiaosui went to get a wooden board and asked Li Yunshan to throw the internal organs on it.

Heizi was still sleeping in the haystack, and Mao Xiaosui said, "When there is someone at home, go inside and keep warm."

Heizi got up and ran into the house. His belly was also round, but not as exaggerated as the yellow dog.

Mao Xiaosui was a little funny. He went into the backyard and asked Li Yunshan, "Did you forget to buy oil paper again?"

Li Yunshan glanced at her and smiled, "I forgot."

She sighed, "Forget it, I just sewed a piece of cloth to cover it if I couldn't remember."

"next time."

Mao Xiaosui didn't believe him next time, so he didn't blame him. After all, he thought of it after the fact.

She touched Li Ruyi and Li Ankang's heads and asked, "Is it cold?"

Li Ruyi sniffed and shook her head, "It's not cold."

"Your nose is red from the cold, but you're still not cold?" she asked with a smile.

Li Ruyi and Li Ankang's warm shoes are made of rabbit skin. A layer of rabbit skin is sewn inside the cloth sole, and a layer of shoe leather is sewn inside the upper. The outer layer is made of chicken feathers.

They are much warmer than ordinary cotton shoes, but they can't withstand staying outside all the time in the winter.

She said, "Go inside and see your rabbit. It's looking for you."

Li Ankang became cold. Hearing these words, he immediately stood up and tried to pull Li Ruyi away, but ended up pulling Li Ruyi down.

Mao Xiaosui was not afraid of her crying, and Li Ruyi obviously had no intention of crying. He clapped his hands and followed Li Ankang.

Mao Xiaosui was surprised when he saw it, "Maybe this kid can't get used to his bad habits."

Li Yunshan also laughed, "You go back to the house, I'll be here soon."

"Let's clean it up in the afternoon." Mao Xiaosui said, "You clean up and let's eat."

Li Yunshan replied, "It'll be fine soon."

Mao Xiaosui went back to the kitchen first, pricked the liver and lungs with chopsticks, made sure they were cooked, took them out, and put them outside to dry.

First, I washed the pot in which the liver and lungs were cooked, and then added a handful of firewood to the stove before carrying it back to the house.

Cut the liver and lungs into a plate each, cut two green onions with a diagonal knife, add sesame oil and Sichuan peppercorns to the pot and sauté until fragrant, pour the liver and lungs in and stir-fry over high heat.

She told Li Ankang, "Go call your dad."

Li Ankang ran out, and after a while Li Yunshan took the basket and put it in the kitchen, then picked up the rabbit skin and put it against the wall.

There was hot water in the basin on the table, and Mao Xiaosui poured it into the sink for him to wash up.

Li Ruyi and Li Ankang worked together to move the table over, stumbling for a few steps before falling to the ground.

Li Yunshan sat down next to the clay stove, warming his frozen hands, and said, "I'll sell the rabbits first, and wait for the rest. If we don't sell them in spring, there will be too many rabbits to keep in captivity."

He added, "I plan to buy ten carts of Ding's manure and apply more fertilizer next year to see if the grains in the field can grow well."

"Is ten cars too many?" Mao Xiaosui wondered. "There are so many rabbits in the house, and there is a lot of dung. This year's dung pile exceeds the two in previous years."

Li Yunshan: "The Ding family fertilizes one acre of land every spring with three to four loads of fertilizer, and spreads it once in May and June. I originally thought that raising a pig would give me more fertilizer, but in fact it's not much more. The land at home is six acres." It’s still not enough. It would be convenient to have mules. When the time comes, we can just pull them over. We’ll give it a try next year and wait and see what the autumn harvest will be like.”

"Okay." Mao Xiaosui nodded. She couldn't tell anything about the things in the fields, so just listen to Li Yunshan.
