Chapter 120 Eat and drink well, visit the new house

Congcong helped find a place for wild vegetables, and asked Ding Yanyu and Yuan Yuan to dig wild vegetables, pick mushrooms and fungus there. When they encountered a pheasant nest or a rabbit nest, Wen Lei caught them alone and told them where they were. She was looking for Ding Yanyu and Yuan Yuan. After a while, everyone returned home with a full load. Wen Lei shot more than 20 pheasants. She thought pheasants were more delicious than pheasants.

When they arrived at the river, they slaughtered chickens and rabbits and handed them over to Yuan Jian, Xiao Qing and Gu Chen. Wen Lei and Ding Yanyu held up bamboo rafts and took fishing nets borrowed from the brigade headquarters to cast the nets to catch fish. When the fish was caught, the three boys began to kill the fish. Wen Lei and Ding Yanyu took Yuan Yuan to build the basket. The six of them put the baskets last night. The baskets were specially designed to catch eels and loaches, and occasionally small fish and shrimps. After setting up the baskets, the three boys continued to clean up at the river. Wen Lei and Ding Yanyu took Yuan Yuan away, took away the processed fish and prey, washed wild vegetables, and went back to cook.

Wen Lei and Ding Yanyu were cutting vegetables and preparing plates at the long table in the yard, while Yuan Yuan peeled onions and garlic. The three of them were busy for a while, but before they finished, Gu Chen, Xiao Qing, and Yuan Jian came back. After handing over the work in hand to them, Wen Lei took Yuan Yuan to the kitchen.

Yuan Yuan lit the fire and Wen Lei cooked. Ding Yanyu went to their kitchen to make rice. Several people have been busy all afternoon, and the food is ready. Several people moved the dining tables from the two kitchens to the yard and put them together. There is another one in the yard, a long table made of adobe and cement, without stools.

The meals are served, steamed fish, braised fish, braised fish with tofu, braised pork, potato stew, braised pork ribs, pheasant stewed with mushrooms, large plate chicken, ground pot chicken, braised eel, braised loach, spicy hare, cold fungus, cold horseradish Amaranth, stir-fried bracken, stir-fried wild eggs with shepherd's purse, spicy and sour potato shreds, stewed tofu with chili.

The two long tables were filled with plates. As soon as the dishes were placed, the village committee officials came. They all looked at the dishes on the table with wolfish eyes. Wen Lei had serious doubts. When she and Ding Yanyu said they were moving today and invited the educated youth to have dinner, the brigade captain and village cadres insisted on coming over to celebrate.

"Let me see, what did Wen Lei buy for this table? The tofu was made at Sister-in-law Ding's house last night, the potatoes were exchanged with Sister-in-law Ding, the meat was bought, the ribs were bought, onions, ginger, garlic and peppers, yes The brigade leader’s house brought 18 dishes, and my mouth watered as I looked at each dish. If I didn’t buy the ribs and meat, I spent almost no money. I have lived for so many years, and I just can’t figure it out. We are exhausted. , I haven’t been able to eat this food for several years. Why can Wen Lei eat whatever she wants with just a move of her little hand? It’s a waste of time! If they go back to the city, don’t the people in the city know how good our living conditions are? "Team Leader Yang kept wandering around the two tables, not only swallowing, but also shaking his head.

The captain and several village cadres kept nodding and shaking their heads, and swallowed from time to time.

Accompanied by Yang Guoxing's cry, the educated youths moved benches into the fence yard. When they walked into the yard and saw the village cadres there, they hurriedly restrained themselves. Zhao Changzheng stepped forward and greeted the team leader and village cadres, and everyone began to take their seats.

Wen Lei and the others sat at the educated youth table. After all, they were still educated youth, but they just moved out of the educated youth spot. Gu Chen and Xiao Qing filled the rice in buckets and placed the rice between the two tables.

Although Wen Lei cooks a lot of dishes, the portions are not very large. She is the one who puts them on the plate. Before and after Wen Lei traveled through time, she was a true Jiangnan native, and she was really not used to eating out of a basin.

Before eating, the captain started to say a few words. "Congratulations to everyone, Wen Lei, Ding Yanyu, Gu Chen, Xiao Qing, Yuan Jian, and Yuan Yuan have moved into a new house!" Everyone agreed a few times and started to eat. No one spoke during the entire meal, only the sounds of chewing and chopsticks clinking against dishes were heard.

After eating and drinking, several female educated youths hurriedly helped, while Wen Lei and Ding Yanyu cleaned up the dishes. The captain asked Gu Chen and Yuan Jian to show them the room. The brigade captain and village cadres walked around each room, together with the male educated youths, among whom there was only one girl, Lin Lin.

Lin Lin's face looked very ugly, and her signature smile finally disappeared completely after visiting one room after another. Gu Chen was extremely silent, Lin Lin followed her, her eyes were reddish, and the corners of her mouth barely raised a few times, but finally drooped.

The group of people entered the kitchen first and looked inside and out. "Don't tell me, the two girls have made the kitchen look like the city. It's really nice." The more Team Leader Li looked at it, the hotter he felt. He touched the sofa and the cupboard. He felt that apart from being reluctant to part with the curtains, he could do everything else. accept.

"Does it look good? Let's do it like this later." Team Leader Yang said to Team Leader Li.

"This piece of cloth is much older!" Team Leader Li felt a little pained, but he still couldn't help but measured it with his hands, calculating something in his mind.

After visiting the inside and outside rooms of Yuan Jian and Yuan Yuan, everyone was very interested, touching and asking questions, and finally Yuan Yuan whispered. "My sister said that except for the kang, the two small tables in our room are new, and the rest are all rags. We live in a rag heap. We are poor children. We have no money and can only turn waste into treasure."

Yuan Yuan's words made everyone couldn't help but raise their heads, with enthusiastic eyes, nodding or shaking their heads. When we arrived at Wen Lei's room, it was almost the same as Yuan Jian's room, so we didn't stay much longer. Then he went to see the bathroom, looked up and saw the wooden barrel on the beam, and the captain asked Yuan Jian. "What is this wooden barrel used for?"

"It is used for bathing. There are more than ten small openings at the bottom of the wooden barrel. Look here, the rope is knotted. Hang the bucket on the beam with this knot. Put it down and hang it on the knot. Pour in warm water and change it. With this knot, you can take a bath and wash your hair under the bucket, which is very convenient." Yuan Jian explained while operating it again.

The team leader and village cadres were amazed. The male educated youths tried it a few times and it was much easier to use than them. Looking around the bathroom, everyone nodded in praise, and Lin Lin's face was ashen. When we arrived at the toilet, the captain began to explain that he had intervened in this toilet. "Look at this squatting pit. The lower part is a cesspit built with cement directly to the surface. Once flushed with water, it will be flushed directly into the cesspit outside. Whatever that girl Wen Lei said, the hole of the squatting pit must be kept smaller. It is said that it will smell when it gets too big. Several people worked on the toilet for several days. This small groove for water drainage is in the squatting pit. The girl Wen Lei did not allow the hole to leak out, so it can only be used here. A thick bamboo pole. What about that girl who has a lot to do? Let me dig the cesspit into a cellar. There should be no big holes in it. She will cover it with wooden boards. Let me take you to see the cesspool."

After the brigade explained the toilets, they showed the manure pit. The manure pit was covered with wooden boards and had handles inlaid on the wooden boards. Everyone was astonished as if they were visiting the Grand View Garden. After visiting the toilet, several people wanted to go to Ding Yanyu's room. The girl directly brought two basins of water and asked everyone to wash their hands before entering. "You have just visited the toilet. You must wash your hands before entering my room." The captain smiled and took the lead in washing his hands. Wen Lei stood aside and smiled without saying anything. Lin Lin was so angry that she wanted to leave, but in the end curiosity took over and she obediently washed her hands in the basin held by Gu Chen.

Everyone walked to Ding Yanyu's room, which was large and bright. The sofa was covered with white cloth with blue dots. The row of cabinets on the west wall had been newly painted and looked new. The Kang is paved with leather, and the walls are white and smooth.

"Dear me, no wonder that girl asked her to wash her hands. I have never seen such a beautiful room in my whole life. It's an eye-opener. It's really an eye-opener!" Team leader Yang was stunned and couldn't help but sit on the sofa and touch the cabinets. touch.

Wen Lei couldn't help but say something quietly. "They're all picked from the junk pile."
