Chapter 148 Camellia cannot read white rose (two chapters in one)(1/2)
That night, the number of viewers in the God of Wealth live broadcast room hit a new high.
This is the effect of turning horse dung and cow dung to tan the wild boar skin, and the effect of not being able to look directly at Xu Sanshu's hands.
Mrs. Xu was exhausted today. She finished picking up the mushrooms and then picked up the wild boar hairs that she was reluctant to throw away.
The long outer layer of wild boar hair can be used to make brushes after cleaning.
Her granddaughter said that brushes made of this kind of pig bristles are best for brushing gun barrels. I heard that they were exported in large quantities in the 1960s and 1970s. They are also very good for making medical brushes and large brushes.
They don't have artillery, and I don't know if there are any in this dynasty. If they can't sell them, they can save them to make more brushes and brushes, which are good for brushing shoes, Kang mats and pots. When they make paper next year, they can make some brushes for the young people in the village to use for writing.
.
As for the shorter layer of fluff inside, Mrs. Xu washed it carefully four times with soap locust before drying it by the stove. After careful selection, these fluff will be reserved for making toothbrushes and can also be stuffed to wear in winter.
Use hats, gloves, and cotton masks to keep warm, so you can use less cotton.
After finishing these two tasks, Mrs. Xu made a real big pot of rice and fried two big pots of mushroom sauce in the evening.
Although it was a matter for three groups of common people, she was the main force. Even the young woman said that even though she didn't add any more seasonings to the same ingredients, the food she cooked was better than others.
Old Mrs. Xu thought, no matter whether this was a lie or not, after being away from home for a few days, we should take care of each other.
If what she cooks is really delicious, then she will do it all, but it will take some effort. Besides, she is happy to cook for Huo Jiajun.
But there was an incident when giving the mushroom sauce. The soldiers who stayed behind were not willing to give it to them alive or dead. Mrs. Xu was afraid that people would misunderstand the medicine, so she took a few bites on the spot and patted her belly to show that nothing was wrong. She didn't even have diarrhea.
Made very cleanly.
People said, ma'am, we didn't mean that, and we can't ask for your things. I made a mistake with the sugar water that day. I thought the water you helped bring was plain water. I didn't realize until I drank it that sugar was added, and it would have been wasted if I didn't drink it after it was already cooked.
Just make a mistake and make a mistake.
Mrs. Xu and the representatives from the other two families became anxious when they heard this:
Who stipulates that you cannot take things from the common people? Why is this rule so inhumane?
Besides, if there really are such rules, the person who gave the order is not here, so what can't be eaten? You also help us feed the mules and cattle. The fodder for these two days is not money? What about eating some mushrooms? These are all picked freshly.
I didn't buy it. But if you don't eat it, we feel unhappy.
Besides, your general in charge can't see it. Eat quickly. If you have time, you'll finish it long ago.
I tried to persuade him over and over again, but I didn't expect that the soldiers guarding the stable were still stubborn.
Then her granddaughter happened to be passing by, and Mrs. Xu felt that Tian Xin'er didn't say anything. Amidst all the chatter, her granddaughter seemed to have said "Eat it, I'll scoop it out for you".
After finishing it, I thought about it for a while and then actually ate it. Mrs. Xu was confused at that time. Do you think this is strange?
Is this treating them all as outsiders, but treating her granddaughter as a stranger?
In short, Mrs. Xu was very tired today. Listening to the sound of rain, she sat leaning against a stone and started to doze off. She only had time to tell Xu Tianxin to wake her up in the middle of the night and she would go check out the two tents.
The mushrooms were drying inside, and then they slowly fell over and no movement could be heard.
In the middle of the night, Xu Tianxin was reluctant to wake up her grandma.
At this time, apart from the sound of rain and the sound of the wind blowing through the forest, there was no other sound outside the cave.
Xu Tianxin was draped in an oilcloth and holding a lamp lit with fish oil in a small bowl. He protected the light from the light and illuminated the rocky road at his feet, and came to the tent where the mushrooms were dried.
While she was turning over the mushrooms in the two tents and pulling at the pieces of wild boar skin hanging to dry in the shed, the box of Longyi Pills that she had kept at her feet began to ring.
The amount of reward tonight is as high as twenty taels.
In these two days, more than a thousand people gave me a dollar reward.
After Xu Tianxin connected the copper plates with ropes and installed them, she was so happy that she no longer felt sleepy.
"Family, our host, Grandma Xianggua, has fallen asleep. She didn't even have time to get off the air, so I'm the only assistant here. I don't know how to thank you, and I don't have a grandma who can speak well."
Many family members stayed up, what was she talking about?
She couldn't let the atmosphere of the live broadcast become dry and boring: "Well, I happen to be staying in the mountains for the night at this time, and I will tell you a ghost story."
Xu Tianxin works hard and does what he says.
After finishing her work, she purposely left the tent and stood on a small side road some distance away from the cave entrance, wearing an oilcloth.
This location is good. You can see the dark mountains above. I don’t know if there are leaves or reflections from the undercurrent. It may also be caused by the firelight in Xu Tianxin’s hand. I always feel like a ghost is floating on the hanging tree between the white patches.
Float away.
Looking down, you can see the barren land and the weeds half as tall as a man. It always feels like there are many evil wolves with green eyes hiding there.
It simply fills the atmosphere.
Xu Tianxin began to tell a ghost story about a barren mountain. He also said that there was a thousand-year-old corpse under the cave. The woman temporarily held her breath during childbirth and woke up after being buried. There was a placenta next to her. She told what she had heard about the morgue.
The background of the story is changed to a barren mountain.
What Xu Tianxin didn't know was that there was a soldier standing guard behind the cliff where she was standing.
This person just kept listening, thinking: What kind of group of people are they? They stayed up late at night and took shelter from the rain. They went outside to make up stories. Not to mention, their stories were quite scary.
It wasn't until Xu Tianxin told everyone in the live broadcast room that she had run away and that she was going to go back to sleep. The soldier couldn't help but be curious and poked his head out to take a look.
He was very unhappy, so how could he tell the story without giving it an ending? Otherwise, he would not tell it at all. Really.
When he saw Xu Tianxin's back, wrapped in oilcloth and leaving alone, the soldier's face suddenly froze, and he felt a little bad.
Not a group of people, but one person?
But what was that girl talking to just now? He must have heard correctly that it was a conversation.
She seems to be the little friend who was given the wild boar skin by Commander Jia.
Mengyi? Unlike him, his speech is very organized, explaining the profound things in simple terms, step by step, and occasionally exclaiming and being startled.
Is it a ghost?
When it was time to change the guard, I never expected that I would step on a bald man and roll down a few meters from the mountain. By coincidence, I happened to roll into a hole.
What was in the cave? The eighteen-year-old Xiao Bing remembered Xu Tianxin's story just now, about the female corpse, and he looked around specifically.
When his companions saw him suddenly talking loudly and falling into a wild cave, they thought it was a strange thing and laughed at him.
And Xu Tianxin, who fell asleep when he got back, didn't know about this episode at all.
So much so that it affected her later reputation. It wouldn't be called reputation. She was the girl who was called a ghost talker in the middle of the night.
Years later, it was still rumored that she would talk about ghosts in the middle of the night and go out to inquire about things. Is this something a normal girl would do? What's so surprising about "cutting" men with a knife? She would also tell everyone she met not to believe her gentleness.
Wan's image is all superficial. In fact, she is nicknamed the female version of Guishashen.
Of course, this is all for later, but I didn’t expect it to have such a profound impact.
Early on the next morning, Xu Tianxin got up at dawn to cook noodles for everyone, boiled pots of hot water and filled the water bladders, packed the mostly dried mushrooms, and dried the wet mushrooms picked in the last wave of yesterday.
superior.
This last batch is her family's share, which also contains the mushrooms prepared by grandma for the table full of grandma.
Xu Tianxin knew that even though grandma didn't say it, in fact, ever since there was a strong wind and there were rumors of mudslides, the whole table was filled with thoughts about grandma. She wondered how the sales of condoms outside were going to be and whether people were safe.
She misses her very much too.
Grandma also said yesterday that the wild boar had so much hair that she would make a set of hats, gloves, and kneepads for the table full of grandma. After all, the quilts at home were not thick enough to cover the table, so she was reluctant to go out and prepare these. She gave them
Prepare.
Since ancient times, this old unrelated sister came to the door with a Japanese melon on her back and faced the elm tree when she was poor. She was asked to go into the house to rest for a while, but then she went to the back garden to hoe the ground. She didn't care what she was told to do, as long as the table was full.
A sincere response. Including this trip, just say, can you go out with me? The person left the whole family behind and said yes. Such old sisters are not easy to meet even in modern times.
At this time, Xu Tianxin asked everyone to get up and eat noodles.
Mrs. Xu was packing up her clothes and muttering: "Why didn't you call me?"
After driving her scolding grandmother out of the cave, Xu Tianxin looked at the family of four living opposite.
She asked, and found out that the youngest daughter in that family was only four and a half years old, her name was Niu Niu, she had big eyes and was very cute, but her face was a little red due to the wind and she didn't apply any oil, and she also had two hairpins on her hair.
Niu Niu was being carried by her mother, holding a piece of home-made rice cake in her hand, and was also eating breakfast.
Xu Tianxin leaned over, and when the parents weren't paying attention, he tapped Niu Niu's back with his finger, and looked at the rice cake again.
Niu Niu turned to look at Xu Tianxin. She only had one piece of delicious rice cake, and the rest of the rations she brought were not delicious.
However, my sister must be hungry.
Niu Niu broke off half a piece of rice cake with her two little hands and handed it to Xu Tianxin: "Here, sister, eat it."
Xu Tianxin was happy and quite generous, so he opened the lid of the instant noodles that had been hidden behind his back.
Niu Niu's eyes immediately lit up: "Wow!"
"Let's switch." Even adults can't bear the dry pancakes that a child has eaten for two days, not to mention the child's stomach. Xu Tianxin specially cooked this bowl to make it soft.
When the young woman heard the movement, she quickly turned around and stopped her: "How could this happen?"
"It's nothing, give it to her." Xu Tianxin tugged at Niuniu's braid again before leaving.
