Joe's Farming

Chapter 14: Fresh Radish Salad

Probably everyone who just had a quarrel would feel that they didn't curse hard enough and didn't perform well enough. Qiao Yu sat alone on a stone chair and reviewed the conflict just now. It was probably the first time he faced the original owner's extreme family members. He still hasn't calmed down. Fortunately, he didn't live in the village, otherwise he would be disgusted by seeing them every day.

"Qiao'er," Qiao Yu looked up and found that Gu Feng had returned without her knowing, with a pheasant at his feet. When Qiao Yu saw Gu Feng, all her resentment and insecurity disappeared.

Qiao Yu: "You take a rest for a while, I'll go cook." Then she went to the kitchen.

Gu Feng held Qiao Yu's hand: "Qiao'er, what happened? Where's the child?"

Qiao Yu: "The kids are watching the chickens in the backyard. I'm fine. I'll tell you later."

"Okay." Gu Feng let go of his hand, first took the pheasant to the backyard and locked it up, then went to the kitchen to help.

There were some leftover dumplings from lunch, and the meat was braised in the afternoon, so Qiao Yu made a cold radish. The radish was first marinated with some salt, then the water was squeezed out, some oil was heated in a pan, some dried chili peppers and garlic were fried, and then a little soy sauce was added. The radish mixed in this way retained its sweet, crisp, spicy and fragrant taste, and was very refreshing.

Because there were vegetables, meat and staple food, Qiao Yu simply mixed a large bowl of honey water for everyone to drink. Qiao Yu added a kettle, lemons and various teas to the shopping list.

During the meal, Qiao Yu briefly summarized what happened in the afternoon, and the two children added to the story in a vivid manner.

Gu Feng's face looked fierce when he had no expression on his face, and now it looked even scarier.

Qiao Yu: "Luckily Aunt Shi and the others are here, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with this family."

Gu Feng: "Okay, I understand. From now on, when I'm not around, you and the child will close the door."

Seeing that Gu Feng didn't touch the intestines much, Qiao Yu picked up a large piece and gave it to him: "Why, it doesn't taste good?"

Of course Gu Feng didn't dare not to eat it, so he quickly ate it all in one bite. It didn't have the bad smell he imagined. "It's delicious. Is this the braised pork intestines that Qiao Er mentioned?"

Qiao Yu said proudly: "I said it's delicious. If it's braised, the pig intestines are better than the small intestines, and the pig stomach is not bad either. But if we have charcoal, grilling the small intestines is also delicious. And the pork belly, wrapped in lettuce, oh, by the way, lettuce should also be found."

Qiao Yu couldn't stop talking about food. When Gu Feng heard the names of dishes he had never heard of before, he asked, "Did you read these in a book as well?" After all, no family in Shangtian Village cooked like this.

Qiao Yu quickly stopped her distracted thoughts and said sincerely, "Yes, I read it in a book. I'll make it for you later."

Gu Xiaoyan: "Mom, what about me?"

Gu Xiaoxue: "And me."

Qiao Yu: "I'll make them all for you."

At night, Qiao Yu wanted to take a hot bath. In the past few nights, he had simply wiped his body with a wet cloth, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

Upon hearing this, Gu Feng went to boil water for him without saying a word. The two children also wanted to take a bath. There was only one bathtub in the house, so Qiao Yu started to take a bath after the two children had taken a bath.

Gu Feng said there was not enough water in the tank, so he went to get some water.

The family used soap nuts for washing clothes and bathing, which was not the same species as the soap nuts Qiao Yu knew. When using it, you need to grab a handful and rub it into foam before using it.

After taking a shower, it leaves a refreshing fragrance. Except that its cleaning ability is not as strong as soap, everything else is good. But you have to go to the mountains to find soap trees, which are not available all year round. People who are not particular may just use the ash to wash clothes.

After all, every household has wood ash.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yu scolded himself for being stupid. Isn't the water that precipitates after boiling wood ash in water alkaline water?

Lye water has many uses, one of which is to heat it in proportion to oil, stir it continuously at low temperature, and after the saponification reaction occurs, cool it for an hour to get soap.

It just so happened that Qiao Yu had a female colleague who particularly liked handicrafts, and she took him to make them together. Although the conditions are not so good now, it may not be possible to make some nice essential oil soaps or beauty soaps, but it should be no problem to wash clothes and take a bath.

Qiao Yu went through the things he lacked in his mind again and found that he really needed a lot of things. Although his current life was physically tiring, he lived very comfortably. It was exactly the retirement life he had wanted before.

After taking a shower, Qiao Yu used a clean towel to dry her hair until it was about 80% dry. This was a bad thing in ancient times, as people had to keep their hair long.

When his hair was dry and he had nothing to do, he began to count the silver. The seventy taels he had hidden at home were the three taels of silver that Gu Feng had given him. He had spent more than one tael today, and had one tael, five cents and eighty-six coins left.

After counting the money, Gu Feng hadn't come back yet. Qiao Yu felt strange. Did it take so long to fetch water? As soon as she thought of him, she heard the sound of water coming from the yard.

Qiao Yu got out of bed to see.

The moonlight in the courtyard was bright, illuminating the man taking a shower clearly. Gu Feng was only wearing a pair of underwear. He poured water over his head, then grabbed a handful of soap nuts, rubbed them into foam, and began to wash his hair.

Gu Feng had his back to Qiao Yu. His back muscles were firm and his lines were smooth. Qiao Yu unconsciously followed the water flow and saw...

What a great figure! Qiao Yu was extremely envious, and at the same time, her ears felt hot. It was really ridiculous to peek at her nominal husband.

When Qiao Yu was about to fall asleep in bed, Gu Feng changed his underwear and got into bed. A fresh scent of soapberry hit him, and then one hand passed under Qiao Yu's neck and the other hand hugged Qiao Yu's waist.

Qiao Yu has now become accustomed to Gu Feng's occasional intimate actions, and naturally hugs him back.

Qiao Yu: "Where did you go?"

Gu Feng remained silent. Qiao Yu was a little dissatisfied and poked his waist with her hand: "I'm asking you, where have you been?"

Gu Feng said in a muffled voice: "Let's go and deal with Qiao Lao San."

Qiao Yu was happy: "What do you mean?"

Gu Feng: "Just tell him that if he comes to you again, I will break his legs."

"Hahahaha." Qiao Yu could imagine how fierce Qiao Lao San and Gu Feng were at that time. Qiao Lao San must have been cowardly and scared, and the stepmother must have been pissed off. Just thinking about it made her feel relieved.

Gu Feng was also angry. Today, she had wronged her husband and the child. Suddenly, she felt a soft touch on her cheek, which only stayed for a moment and then disappeared. Did her husband kiss her on his own initiative?

"Sleep, sleep." The culprit closed his eyes and leaned in his arms and whispered.
