When they got home, the two of them had already made detailed plans for the bathroom.

Qi Yanfan's motivation for repairing the bathroom is also very simple, he basically needs to take a bath every day in summer.Although he is a big man, it is not suitable to take a bath in the windy and rainy stream, let alone in winter.In fact, the most important thing is that when the weather is hot, if Ji Tingyu takes a bath naked in front of him every day, Qi Yanfan predicts that he will not be able to bear it.

Both of them are activists who will do what they say, and they have long since thrown away the idea of ​​recuperating.In Qi Yanfan's design, the bathroom is paved with bricks, and the surroundings can be combined with bricks and soil, and then go to the village to order a wooden door and some tiles.

After waking up, having breakfast, feeding the chickens, and watering the vegetable fields, the two of them took it as exercise to go to the south hill to pick up some bricks and come back.Just laying bricks horizontally for water seepage in the bathroom floor consumed the inventory that the two of them had been picking up for several days.The stacking of the three walls and how to tile the roof require some research and consideration.It took more than ten days intermittently to complete this job.

At this time, it was already midsummer, but at any rate, the temperature on the mountain was cooler.Qi Yanfan opened the jar of salted duck eggs, wanting to have a taste. Now the egg whites should not be too salty, and the yolks should be oily.

Seeing Ji Tingyu, he immediately went forward and took the jar in his hand, took a look inside, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"You don't know what to do, why do you grab my stuff?" Qi Yanfan asked him back with a smile.

In the past few days, the work of repairing the bathroom has to deal with bricks, and Qi Yanfan's hands will inevitably be scratched a few times. After he complained of pain, Ji Tingyu took over a lot of work.

Qi Yanfan silently enjoyed this sweet and worrying care, and his face thickened a little after a long time.

"I want to steam the salted duck eggs, you take out two and wash them." He directly issued an order.

Ji Tingyu obediently took out two of them and washed them in the stream.Breakfast is porridge, fried vegetables and salted duck eggs.

Knock open the big end of the salted duck egg, peel off a small circle of egg shell, pick out a small piece with chopsticks, and then you can see bright red oil slowly emerging from the egg yolk.

Qi Yanfan loves the first chopsticks the most, the egg white with the rustling yolk, and he can look forward to the red oil coming out of his head, giving him a double sense of satisfaction in his mouth and heart.

"Come, come, poke like me—poof—" Qi Yanfan taught Ji Tingyu how to enjoy salted duck eggs, "Wow, so much oil!"

Ji Tingyu smiled and nodded in cooperation with him: "I didn't know there was such fun before."

The red oily flowers swirl on the white porridge, as comfortable as Qi Yanfan's heart.

After breakfast, Qi Yanfan took two strong bamboo poles and fixed them into a fan shape with an angle of 60 degrees. The fan was covered with a layer of gauze, and it was folded into a small pocket near the end of the fan.Ji Tingyu handed him the rope for a while, and a knife for him for a while.

Qi Yanfan said, "Why don't you ask me what I want to do?"

"Be careful, I will help you whatever you do."

Qi Yanfan opened his mouth, but in the end he swallowed the sentence "Then will you agree to anything I say?"

He gave Ji Tingyu so many hints, thinking he is as smart as him, he should have seen through his little thoughts.But the other party was obviously pretending to be stupid at the beginning, and later began to be nice to him. Stones can warm up. Qi Yanfan believes that Ji Tingyu is in a transitional stage, and he can't be too impatient to scare people away.

Qi Yanfan stood up and shook the enlarged "fan", and said, "This is for shrimp."

Qi Yanfan then demonstrated how to use it, stretching the fan and putting the tail on his waist.The fan is immersed in the water and stretches under the duckweed where the shrimps are resting, and slaps the duckweed for a while.Then stroke the fan surface against the duckweed, remove it from the water surface, and the water will run away from the eyes of the gauze.Lift it up and shake the fan, and the little shrimps will all fall into the small pockets at the tail of the fan.

Ji Tingyu took over the tools for this trip, Qi Yanfan carried a wooden bucket, and the two went to the lower reaches of the small river in the valley that they found when they were springing last time.

As the weather gets warmer, the aquatic plants here grow more lush.Qi Yanfan took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trouser legs, and carefully went down into the water, trying it out first.

There is no problem in entering the water and flapping, but when the fan is lifted up, it seems to be extremely heavy, and the arm is trembling with force, and the fan tail on the waist hurts the stomach.Qi Yanfan used all his strength to lift the first net.

Looking into the gauze pocket, there were only two or three small fish.

Qi Yanfan was instantly dizzy with anger.

Ji Tingyu immediately stretched out his hand to pull him, Qi Yanfan was stunned for a moment and grabbed his hand back like a strong man breaking his wrist.Ji Tingyu's palms are wide, dry and warm, which makes people feel extremely at ease. The blows from the two or three small fish just now have disappeared, and he is full of joy.

Ji Tingyu pulled him to the shore and took the tools from him.He squeezed his palm and carefully inspected the wound that had been soaked a little white.Qi Yanfan stood obediently with a blushing face, like a child waiting for his master to check his homework.

"You..." Ji Tingyu sighed helplessly, and said, "I'll try."Then he went over again like Qi Yanfan did, using a little more force when he slapped the duckweed, and sure enough there were a lot of live shrimps in his pocket when he pulled out the net.

Qi Yanfan cheered and went to pick it up with a bucket.

"Quick, quick, pour it into the bucket!"

"Wow, look, this shrimp is as thick as my finger!"

"There are fish and there are fish!"

……

After so many times, there are already half a bucket of dried shrimps and small fishes in the bucket.After wading through all the duckweed in this section, the water was already knee-deep further on, so Qi Yanfan called Ji Tingyu to come back.

Qi Yanfan stretched out his hand hypocritically to touch Ji Tingyu's waist and abdomen, and asked, "Are you tired, did your stomach hurt from the bamboo pole?"

Ji Tingyu didn't care either: "I'm fine." He wiped his face, and his hair was stained with water.

Qi Yanfan smiled and took out a cloth towel to wipe him off.

"Are you happy?" Ji Tingyu asked him.

"Yeah," Qi Yanfan frowned, "I'm so happy!"

Qi Yanfan pulled Ji Tingyu to sit on the rocky beach to rest, while he poured a bucket of fish and shrimps on the gauze, picked out some broken aquatic plants and stones, and threw some small fish fry and small snails back into the water.

Today's trip has been fruitful.

Qi Yanfan picked out some big ones and made a plate of boiled shrimp in salt water. The meat of the shrimp was white and elastic, and the taste was quite good.When eating shrimp, Qi Yanfan also specially performed the stunt of completely removing the shell of the shrimp with his tongue, spitting out a whole shrimp shell from his mouth, which attracted Ji Tingyu's praise.

In addition, he also picked out some river clams and raised them in the water basin to spit out sand. There were not many of them, so it was just right for making a soup.

He dried the remaining small shrimps in a bamboo basket with a layer of gauze on the bottom of the basket.Visible to the naked eye day by day, the dried shrimp gradually bends and turns into a unique shrimp pink color.When it is completely dried, there are about three handfuls full of shrimp skins. Add a little when making soup, or steamed eggs with shrimp skins, and the freshness will be improved several levels at once.

Qi Yanfan couldn't help inserting his hands into the dried dried shrimps, thinking, at this moment, he feels so happy.
