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

Chapter 59 Soft-skinned vegetable buns

Back in the village, when going uphill, Mao Xiaosui saw Li Xiaoru and Liu Xiaoxia following him from afar.

Mao Mingzhu also saw it and sneered, "I want to see how long she can hide."

"What does aunt want to do?"

"Nothing to do." She stroked the broken hair beside her ears and smiled with an unknown meaning. "I can't control the mouths of the women in this village. If Wang Huacheng finds out accidentally, it has nothing to do with me..."

Li Yunshan was killing fish at home. When he saw her coming back, he immediately handed two killed fish over to "make soup."

Mao Xiaosui took it, hung the dripping basket on the wall, and then entered the kitchen.

It would also be delicious to boil some vegetables in the fish soup. She took a basin and walked out, then asked him, "Have you fed the chicken?"

"No, just throw some and I'll take care of the fish."

"How many?"

"Quite a lot."

In the evening, I cooked rice, fried wild vegetables and made soup.

Li Yunshan especially liked fish soup. Mao Xiaosui drank half a bowl of soup and ate some vegetables and rice, and he ate the rest.

After dinner, the sun had just set in the west and it was still bright. She took down the hanging basket from the wall, moved a stool and started picking them one by one.

Li Yunshan split the wood in the yard, took the middle position between the two pieces, took a palm-sized knife with a two-finger wide blade from the side room, and started digging.

Mao Xiaosui glanced at him and asked him, "Can you make a bowl?"

"Okay, how big do you want it to be?"

Mao Xiaosui pointed to a bowl that was as big as her palm, and Li Yunshan frowned as he looked at it, "Why do you need such a small bowl?"

"Eat." The bowls at home are all according to Li Yunshan's appetite. One bowl is equivalent to two normal bowls, and it is really heavy for her to hold.

"Forget it if it's troublesome."

"No trouble." Li Yunshan said, "I'll finish the box."

"Okay." She said happily, "I'll make the buns tomorrow."

"Pomegranate stuffed?"

"Yes, have you eaten it?"

Li Yunshan nodded, "I made it myself once, and it didn't taste good."

"I'll make the noodles tomorrow morning and make them for you at noon."

Li Yunshan responded with a smile.

Picking soft-skinned vegetables was troublesome, and half the basket was not finished even after dark. Li Yunshan got up first, said "sleep," and then went to the latrine.

She put the pickled vegetables in the kitchen and took a basin of water to the main room to wash them.

Just in the middle of washing, Li Yunshan came in with wood and a knife, glanced at her, put down his things and walked over.

"I'll help you wipe it." Li Yunshan took the cloth, put it in the water, applied some lard soap he made before, and wiped it for her.

Li Yunshan was very strong and it hurt even when he wiped it. She couldn't help but wince. Li Yunshan smiled and showed her a cloth, "You can't wipe your back. You have to use force."

When Mao Xiaosui saw the dirt on the towel, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he remained silent.

After scrubbing, I felt much lighter. After getting dressed, I saw that he was going to scrub directly with the water in the basin, so he quickly said, "I'll change the basin, there's still some in the pot."

Li Yunshan was taking off his clothes. He nodded when he heard this. When she came in with water, she saw that he had already finished taking off his clothes and was standing.

"Want me to wipe it for you?" She said politely.

Li Yunshan handed over the towel, pulled up a stool and sat down.

Mao Xiaosui blushed and applied soap on the towel, then wiped it vigorously.

I don't know if her strength was weak, but after wiping her entire back, her hands were sore and she didn't find any dirt. She threw the cloth into the basin and let him wipe it by himself, and then went to bed.

The next day, the women who were going to the market early in the morning shouted together in the village, and Li Yunshan started making boxes after finishing the work in the backyard.

Mao Xiaosui dug out a bowl of white flour, used warm water to melt the dried noodles into a piece, and then started kneading the noodles.

Li Yunshan went into the kitchen and took a sip of water. He opened the lid of the pot and took a look. The steamed eggs on the steamer were already cooked. He took them out and used a spoon to stir the porridge underneath.

"It's ready to eat."

Mao Xiaosui was rubbing the noodles on his hands. Hearing this, he said, "Scoop it out and eat it first. Let me dry half a bowl. I'll be ready soon."

"It's done." Li Yunshan ate first. When she finished kneading the dough, she found that a small piece of the steamed egg had broken off. The leftover stir-fried wild vegetables from last night were almost eaten.

She washed her hands and sat down, took a bite of eggs with a spoon and put it into her mouth. She asked him doubtfully, "Why don't you eat eggs?"

"Eat." Li Yunshan stood up and filled another half bowl for herself. When she put her chopsticks towards the plate of wild vegetables, she heard him say "it's a little bit tasty" as soon as she picked it up.

She took it into her mouth and realized that it was really tasty, not heavy, but she could still taste it.

They usually don't have leftovers on this day, and sometimes they put them on the water tank. Unexpectedly, the food goes bad overnight.

She immediately vomited it out, and then saw Li Yunshan eating again.

"You can still eat it if it's broken." She took the plate away and put it on the stove. "I'll pour it for the chicken later, so don't get upset."

"No." Li Yunshan said this but gave up.

After dinner, the two of them walked up the mountain. Li Yunshan took out his bow and arrows again, and carried the bucket and basket on his back.

Unfortunately, they went there. Wang Huacheng and Wang Dong were cutting down trees. The two families had a bad relationship, and they didn't have a good face when they met. They were far away, so Mao Xiaosui curiously asked him, "Why is the Wang family so early this year?" Cut down trees?”

"I don't know." Li Yunshan turned around and pulled her, "Yun Qiang is going to the town to sell grain in a few days. We will ask about the business when he comes back."

"Are you going too?"

"He can't do it alone. There are two slopes on the way to the town. Lu Xiaoxia can't push up."

She nodded, they were indeed brothers, no matter how unpleasant they were, they would never stop.

"Aren't we selling our food? There's a lot of it."

"It doesn't matter if you sell less or not at all." Li Yunshan said, "Food is more useful than money, so there is no harm in keeping it."

"Won't it get moldy?"

"Yes, I will dry it when I have free time. I dried it once the year before last, and I will turn it out and dry it again this year. As long as it is not wet, it will be fine."

There was no sun in the forest in the morning and the river was cold.

Li Yunshan put the basket downstream and tried to get into the forest. She was a little scared and hurriedly said, "Don't go."

"If you don't want to leave, I'll go check out the trap. The area is surrounded and nothing is coming."

"Then don't go far."

"I know." Li Yunshan plunged into the forest and soon disappeared. Mao Xiaosui found a piece of land and squatted down to dig for fungi.

The fungi on the mountain all grow in patches. If you dig them today, they will grow again tomorrow. You can dig them again in a day or two, so they are all over the mountain, and there are a lot of them.

She didn't dare to go deeper, just beside the river where Li Yunshan could see it.

As the day progresses, sunlight filters through the dense leaves of the trees.

Mao Xiaosui was a little thirsty, so he got up and went to the river to drink some water. When he was about to go back and continue digging, he saw Li Yunshan coming back.

He was holding a pheasant in his hand, and there was a lot of mud on his body.

"I got it from the trap."

"Can I eat it?"

"It's still alive." Li Yunshan came closer and lifted the pheasant's head to show her, "The wings are injured, but other parts are fine."

"Can it be raised?"

"It should be possible, but pheasants are not as good as domestic ones, and they cannot be kept in cages."

“Keep the chickens together and keep the pheasants alone.”

"Don't bother me. I'll tell Yun Qiang tonight and I'll go to town tomorrow and just sell it then."

"Not for sale." Mao Xiaosui couldn't put it down and touched the pheasant feathers. "Let's raise them."

"What are you raising it for?"

"What if we can catch another male?"

"It's not easy to catch. Everyone I hit before was dead."
