Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

The meat is hot and soft.

Gu Siwei directly tore open the pancake, tore one pancake in half, and sandwiched half of the large piece of meat.

"Come on, eat!"

Gu Siwei handed the pancake filled with meat to Sicui.

Sicui pushed it and said, "Brother, eat first."

"Eat as you are told, or else leave." Gu Siwei didn't have the heart to argue with the little girl.

Hearing what Gu Siwei said, Sicui quickly took the pancake.

Gu Siwei took another pancake, tore it in half, and stuffed the remaining half-sized meat slices into the pancake.

After one bite, the wheat-flavored pancake, paired with the oily meat, exploded in your mouth with the aroma of the meat mixed with the pancake aroma. This taste was even better than the Roujiamo that Gu Siwei had eaten in Tongcheng before. All delicious.

I don’t know if the taste is really outstanding, or if it’s been a long time since I’ve had real meat, but it’s delicious anyway.

Si Cui was holding the pancake and gnawing it like a vicious wolf. Gu Siwei felt that the pancake became more fragrant after eating it.

Looking at the little girl, Gu Siwei suddenly felt that if he didn't let her eat, the little girl might make a whining sound to protect her food.

"Eat slowly, no one will fight with you. There will be more after you finish eating," Gu Siwei said.

Sicui nodded, but did not stop talking at all. At this moment, Sicui felt that he had become an immortal, and he would be satisfied even if he died now.

Gu Siwei didn't care what to say to Sicui, and started eating heavily.

Well! Well!

Sicui finally choked.

Gu Siwei immediately scooped up a ladle of water and handed it to Sicui.

Sicui took the ladle, swallowed the food in her throat, and continued to eat.

With a piece of pancake and half a piece of meat, Gu Siwei and Sicui were full.

He gave Sicui two more cakes.

"Put the rest of these away and bake them for yourself tomorrow. Remember not to let others know. If people know that you are leaving on your own, don't you need me to tell you? There are still these for you to eat tomorrow. I You have to eat before you come back. If you can’t eat, you know what to do.”

Gu Siwei burped with satisfaction.

Sicui nodded immediately after hearing this. She understood now that it was better to kill him anyway. After eating such white flour steamed buns with meat, she realized that there was such a delicious food in the world.

Gu Siwei didn't say much: "Take the rest and go to sleep."

After saying that, Gu Siwei went back to the house.

Sicui tidied up happily, putting away the pot with the meat and the pancakes.

Gu Siwei slept until almost dawn.

There is no way. Now Gu Siwei just wants to stay up late but he doesn't have the conditions. He doesn't have a mobile phone or an Internet connection. What can he do if you let him stay up all night?

A married man can still do other things, but whatever he can do, he can't open his eyes and act foolishly.

After getting up, Gu Siwei got dressed and was ready to go out. There was nothing to do today. Gu Siwei didn't want to eat in the canteen in Zhuangzi anymore, especially after eating a lot of meat last night and then eating stick noodle porridge. Gu Siwei didn't think it was better to eat. , I feel like vomiting just thinking about it.

"Sicui!"

After shouting twice, Gu Siwei didn't hear the answer. He thought the little girl had not woken up yet, so he went out directly.

Sicui had woken up by this time, but she didn't dare to agree because she was burying her head in the quilt and crying.

After leaving the door, Gu Siwei did not go straight from the village entrance, but first went west, then climbed over the mountains and ridges, running in a straight line towards the town.

Once you open it up, the journey will be much more convenient, it just takes a little more brainpower.

The journey was supposed to take several hours, but Gu Siwei waited for the sky to light up and then stood on the outermost ridge.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the hills below, I feel that the hills are not much different from the plains. In fact, this is also the case. Although it is hills here, as far as you can see, they are all farmland. From the Sui and Tang Dynasties onwards, It is one of the most important agricultural bases in the country and one of the important tax sources for every dynasty.

The land is good and the taxes are heavy. No matter which feudal dynasty it is, the life of farmers here is very difficult.

At this moment, the earth is full of green wheat seedlings. Even in the biting cold wind, everything here is green.

It is the beautiful scenery in the mouths of literati and poets, and it is also the hard work of the villagers with every drop of sweat.

Coming out of the forest, Gu Siwei was about to walk towards the town. After walking for almost a mile, he saw groups of farmers carrying poles. There were rattan baskets at each end of the poles, which contained gray Something like tears, but Gu Siwei was not sure for a while.

"Young man, are you up so early?"

A middle-aged man carrying a load with a smile on his face passed by Gu Siwei. When he saw Gu Siwei's empty hands, he greeted him cheerfully.

Gu Siwei was worried that he couldn't find anyone to ask. When he heard the man say this, he opened his mouth and said: "Brother!"

"Hahaha!"

When the man heard the title, he immediately laughed, and then said: "You haven't grown hair on your mouth yet, do you call me brother?"

Only then did Gu Siwei remember that he didn't look in his thirties now, but sixteen or seventeen years old, but he didn't want the middle-aged man to take advantage of him.

"I call you eldest brother because I think you are young. You look like you are only twenty years old, not much older than me."

"This guy can talk".

Talking to Gu Siwei made the man slow down a bit. After hearing Gu Siwei's words, an old man passing by him smiled and said something, and then hurried past.

"Okay, okay" the man said happily.

"Brother, what did you pick in the basket?"

"River mud, it is cleared from the bottom of the river. Are you not from here?" The man was surprised. He glanced at Gu Siwei and said, "It is indeed not from this place."

Gu Siwei wrapped himself tightly, and the man didn't notice for a while that Lao Gu's little face was full of collagen.

"River mud?"

"Yes, river mud is very fertile in the fields. Not long ago, the county organized a river cleanup and cleaned up a lot of river mud. When these things are piled into the fields, they are the best fertilizer..." the man said as he spoke.

Hearing about the good fat, Gu Siwei became a little uneasy, so after saying goodbye to the man, he walked in the opposite direction of the team.

Along the way, Gu Siwei met men, women, old and young. Although they didn't have much flesh on their bodies, their mental state was really good. They were all smiling and their baskets were full.

No matter which one it was, Gu Siwei didn't notice that anyone was cheating, and there was less in the basket, so that everyone's carrying poles were bent.

It was also collective work, and the people here were full of energy, which was beyond Gu Siwei's imagination. He thought that collective work would definitely lead to laziness.

Not talking about others, I just said that Gu Siwei might have to find some free time to lie down and do some clever things out of sight of others.

But these people were really different. In them, Gu Siwei saw a scene that he had never seen before, and they could actually make laughter while working.

This is really difficult for Gu Siwei to understand.

But it's hard to understand, so he thought about it all the way and came to the river.

The river is very wide, about twenty or thirty meters, and the water in the river is generally clear at this moment. Standing on the shore, Gu Siwei can clearly see the fish swimming back and forth in the river.

On both sides of the river, there were piles of mud, large and small.

"Master, isn't this mud good for growing food?" Gu Siwei saw an old man bending down to use a hook on a pole to hook a vine basket.

When the old man heard what Gu Siwei said, he glanced at Gu Siwei and seemed to want to quarrel with him. However, looking at the young man's red lips and white teeth, he knew at a glance that he did not look like he was doing heavy work, so he couldn't resist him for a while.

"Young man, it's not a good thing not to work. Labor is the most glorious thing now. Don't let your body and mind work hard, and you can't separate the grains. This is not the new era..." the old man said.

Gu Siwei was a little speechless, so he asked himself, "You are old enough," and there were a lot of words to catch up with him.

"Young man, this mud can be used as fertilizer, but if you want to grow anything on it, you won't be able to grow good crops."

At this time, a woman in her thirties next to her smiled and exchanged words with Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei didn't quite understand. According to his opinion, the mud in the river bed should be rich in nutrients and should grow well when used to grow crops. Why did this sister-in-law say no?

Seeing the confusion on Gu Siwei's face, the woman smiled and said: "This mud will form boards when it is exposed to the sun. It is too hard to grow. It's okay if you use less, but it won't work if you hope to plant things on it... ".

The woman didn't know why the mud at the bottom of the river bed was not good for growing crops. She just heard the elders say so and thought so. She didn't know that the ingredients in the river bed mud were too complex and there were too many bacteria. These more scientific explanations .

Gu Siwei nodded after hearing this, and decided to listen to the advice. Get less river bed mud, and then find a place to get some loess.

But the problem came immediately. It was broad daylight and there were people everywhere. Even if he saw suitable loess, it would be difficult for him to take it, so he had to look first and wait until it was too dark at night.

For Gu Siwei, it was a bit of a miscalculation to come out today. He really didn't expect that all these people would come out to work in the middle of winter. Even half-year-old children came over to help shovel mud and so on. They were all working enthusiastically. Many people simply took off their outer coats and wore waistcoats to work.

It was not the right time to start, so Gu Siwei thought that he should go back. Otherwise, there were still several hours before dark, and staying here would be a waste of time. He might as well go home.

Just say it back.
