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

I delayed catching shrimps for so long that when I returned to the village, white smoke was rising from the chimneys of other houses.

It was noisy down there, and the women who went to the market came back in groups.

The pheasant seemed to be in a bad mood, so she and Li Yunshan threw the three old hens into the pen at the back and put the pheasant in.

Pheasants can fly, so Li Yunshan hurriedly found hemp rope and short wooden sticks to seal the window.

It was getting late. Mao Xiaosui saw that he was starting to tie the rope, so he asked, "I'm going to cook. Can you do it alone?"

"can."

She looked at the pheasant in her eye again, then picked a handful of vegetables and a handful of green onions and went back to the kitchen to cook.

Cut the soaked soft-skinned vegetables a few times with a knife, beat six eggs in a bowl, and cut the meat in the jar into four pieces. Heat the oil in a pot, fry the eggs and set aside. Add the soft-skinned vegetables and meat to the pan and stir-fry them. Salt, pepper, and eggs are poured into the pan and stirred evenly before serving. Finally, sprinkle in chopped green onions and set aside.

Knead the risen dough into a ball, cut it into small pieces and roll it into a round cake, then put the prepared stuffing in and wrap it up.

A bowl of noodles steamed most of the pot, and while steaming the buns, she killed two more fish.

When he went to the backyard to feed the chickens with the fish offal, Li Yuanshan had already sealed half of the window.

The pheasant was still there, so she threw the entrails to the chicken and said, "Let me give it some medicine."

"Don't worry, it will be fine."

Hearing what he said, Mao Xiaosui stopped thinking and asked him, "How long will it take for you to recover? I'll make some soup and you can eat."

"Bring it here, I'll eat it here."

"Forget it, just put it in the cage. If you let it out after eating, it should be fine."

"Sure." Li Yunshan continued to work.

The filling of the steamed buns is cooked and steamed quickly.

There was oil in the pan where the stuffing had been fried. She dropped a little sesame oil into it, then threw in a few whole peppercorns and fried them until the flavor was released. Then put the fish down and fry it until both sides were cooked before adding water.

There was no boiling water at home, so she poured cold water, seasoned the water with green vegetables and salt, and then threw a handful of chopped green onions into the basin after it was out of the pot.

She called out, and Li Yunshan responded and came in after a while.

He washed his hands in the fish bucket and wiped them on his body.

The dough was well-frozen and soft when pinched. Mao Xiaosui served him a bowl of fish soup with some more green vegetables in the soup.

Li Yunshan took a bite of the steamed bun first, then nodded, "It's delicious." He then took a sip of the hot fish soup and said the same, "It tastes good."

Mao Xiaosui smiled, and then heard him say again, "It's a little worse than before."

"...I cooked it in cold water, maybe it's a little off."

"Is there a difference?"

"Yes, it tastes strong when cooked in boiling water."

He nodded, and in the blink of an eye, the bottom of the bowl of soup was gone. Mao Xiaosui filled another bowl for him, took out the two fish and left a piece of meat from the belly of the fish for himself, and gave the rest to him. he.

Li Yunshan is very good at eating fish. She always puts a big piece into her mouth. At first, she thought the thorn would get stuck, but after so many times, it never happened.

There are still some soft-skinned vegetables in the basket that have not been picked out, and the mushrooms dug today need to be washed and dried.

There was a lot of work, so she wanted to wash and dry the fungi while Li Yunshan was eating, but found that there was no water.

After finishing his meal, Li Yunshan touched his mouth and stood up, carrying the bucket and heading out.

The kitchen was a mess, so she thought she could come back and clean it up, so she said, "Wait for me, I'll go downstairs and wash it."

The two locked the courtyard door and the backyard door and walked down. At this moment, the village was quiet and everyone should be taking a nap.

The watering place was not far from the river, so Li Yunshan went back first carrying the water.

The fungi were easy to wash, and it took only a while to fill up half of the basket. She put the washed ones on the ground and poured a basin from the basket. When she was filling up the water and scrubbing, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. She thought it was Li Yunshan and didn't care. , it wasn’t until the sound got closer that she noticed something was wrong. She subconsciously looked back, and then she saw a dirty, shrinking man not far behind her.

Mao Xiaosui was startled, and the man was also startled. After seeing her face clearly, he turned around and left.

Mao Xiaosui calmed down his frightened mood, and then saw Li Yunshan coming down the slope of the village.

There was still half a basket full of fungi that had not been washed, so she quickly started rubbing them. Li Yunshan came over after carrying the water.

Mao Xiaosui said, "That Chen Bao just came over secretly and scared me."

Li Yunshan's face immediately turned gloomy. "What did he do?"

"I didn't do anything. I noticed it before I even got close. I ran away immediately after seeing it was me."

"Have you ever beaten him? Why does he seem to be afraid of you?"

"He likes to steal things. He has stolen from many houses in nearby villages. A few years ago, I broke one of my legs when he stole chickens from home. I heard that I had to raise them for a month before I could get out of bed."

"It's gentle."

Li Yunshan said nothing and helped her wash up.

When he returned home, the hens in the backyard began to crow. Li Yunshan poured water into the tank and went to the backyard.

Mao Xiaosui tore the fungi into pieces and put them on the dustpan to dry before going to the kitchen to clean them.

After cleaning the kitchen and no one came back, Mao Xiaosui also took a look.

As Li Yunshan wrapped the hemp rope around him, he said, "Take the eggs and go back to sleep. I'll be back when I'm done."

She didn't wait, so she went into the chicken coop to get eggs. The three chickens at home had three eggs every day. They didn't care when the chickens crowd during the meal. Now there were only two eggs in the chicken coop. She carefully searched for them. Then, I saw crushed eggshells on the ground under the henhouse shelf.

The biggest rooster kept flapping and trying to fly into the chicken coop. She was so angry that she kicked it. The chickens in the pen were frightened and started flying around with "clucking" cries.

Li Yunshan heard the movement and asked her, "What's wrong?"

"The eggs were eaten."

Li Yunshan walked over and was surprised to see the eggshells on the ground.

Mao Xiaosui knew that it was his unreasonable behavior that caused the trouble, so he asked in a low voice, "How about... we should stop raising pheasants."

"It has nothing to do with this." Li Yunshan picked up the fattest rooster and shook it, "I'll tie the rope later."

"Can I jump up if I'm tied up? I still have to move the nest down."

"No need to move. Just tie the rooster's rope tighter and the hen's rope looser."

"How about I tie it up? You're not done yet anyway."

"We have to go to the fields in the afternoon, aren't you tired?"

"It's okay." I'm used to taking naps now, but I'm not very tired.

Li Yunshan cut the hemp rope into two lengths of rope.

Mao Xiaosui took it into the chicken pen, tied the short rope to the rooster's feet, and tied the long rope to the hen's feet.

Probably because he was not used to it, the chicken kept jumping around in panic. Mao Xiaosui didn't care and threw in the last bit of grass.

Li Yunshan also finished the work. The two of them sat down, drank a bowl of water, and ate the remaining buns before heading into the fields.
