See Nanshan leisurely

When Chen Youran lay down, she realized that there was still a window in the small attic.Or it should be said that it is a vent hole, the position is very high, and the opening is not large, so it can only be seen after lying down.

Through this hole, a small patch of sky at an infinite height can be seen.

Today's weather is fine, full of stars.Looking through this small square space, it seems that the sky is fixed in the lens, showing a kind of strangeness and romance that is usually difficult to detect.

People should be tired, but Chen Youran was inexplicably excited and couldn't sleep.

"Are you sure about the bed?" She turned around twice, and then she heard Lan Shan asking beside her.

In fact, it is a little bit recognized, and it is the first time for Chen Youran to sleep in the same bed with someone else, and she is really not used to having a warm person beside her.But it was also the cause of her excitement, so it didn't bother her.

But she still lay flat and said, "I won't move, you go to sleep."

Lan Shan let out a "hmm" and didn't speak again.

Listening to her breathing and looking at the stars in the sky, Chen Youran also slowly calmed down.Although I was still sleepless, I no longer felt restless.She just lay there, and didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.

Obviously, she should have taken the bed, but this time Chen Youran slept very soundly.When she opened her eyes, the light was still dim, making it almost impossible for her to tell the time.After getting dressed and going downstairs, I realized that the sky was already bright.

The smell of food filled the inside and outside of the house. Chen Youran followed the source of the smell and saw Lan Shan busy in the kitchen.

Yesterday's rice was considered extravagant, and today she will re-steam new corn rice.Steam the fine noodles that have been sieved, then pour them into a large dustpan, add cold water to disperse them, and stir them evenly to ensure that the grains of the noodles are even and not agglomerated. Together, the taste is better.

If it is a family with acceptable conditions, it will add rice and stir together at this step to steam a pot of gold and silver rice.

What Lan Shan is doing is the process after the first steaming.She held a wooden clapper in one hand and a ladle in the other, and quickly scatter the balls of corn rice while sprinkling water.It was only halfway through the filming, and when she saw Chen Youran, she smiled and broke off a piece from the place where no cold water had been added, and handed it to her, "Taste it."

Chen Youran took it and took a bite. The first steamed glutinous rice had a strong aroma of corn, and it was slightly sweet when chewed, but the taste was more sandy, and it scratched the throat a little, so you can't eat more.

When she finished eating a small piece, Lan Shan had already patted it, so she changed the chopsticks and stirred it in the dustpan.

Chen Youran looked at it for a while and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Go and show me the fire." Lan Shan smiled at her.

Chen Youran discovered that Lan Shan liked to laugh very much.She was already good-looking, with slender eyebrows and eyes, a bit like Gong Li in "Red Sorghum", but she didn't look like Gong Li when she smiled. Her eyebrows and eyes were bent, and her whole body came alive. She was Lan Shan, not like others.

Chen Youran stared at her blankly, and couldn't help but say, "Ashu, you are so pretty."

Lan Shan blinked, her face gradually turned red, she put down her chopsticks and raised her hand to push Chen Youran, "Go and see the fire, be careful not to let me burn it out."

Chen Youran walked to the stove, her mind was still a little flustered.As a result, she saw at a glance that the firewood in the stove was almost burned, and only the red coals were left, which were about to go out, so she quickly picked up the firewood next to it and added it.

One, one, one...Chen Youran, who hadn't returned to his body yet, added firewood mechanically, and glanced at Lan Shan from time to time.

But it didn't take long for her to wake up from choking.

Too much firewood was added, not only did the fire not flourish, but it was completely extinguished.The firewood was ignited by the charcoal and couldn't burn, so billowing white smoke came out, which soon filled the entire kitchen.

Chen Youran: "..." She stood up in a panic, coughing and saying, "Ah Shu, I seem to have put out the fire!"

Lan Shan had just finished the work in her hand when she turned her head and was startled by the puff of white smoke. She hurriedly walked over to the stove to see that Chen Youran, who was not in charge of the house and didn't know how expensive firewood was, got more than a dozen pieces of firewood and put them in the stove. The whole stove was tightly packed.

She quickly pulled out most of the firewood. Seeing that there were still coals underneath, she set up the rest of the firewood to make room, grabbed the torch next to the firewood and blew lightly on the coals, and the flames burst out again. Out.

Raising her head, seeing that Chen Youran was also greatly relieved, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled again, "You put too much firewood, just add two or three sticks at a time."

"Why?" Chen Youran blurted out.

Lan Shan looked helpless, "Oxygen is needed for combustion, haven't you learned it?"

"..." I have learned it, but the knowledge in the book will be returned to the teacher after the test. Who will really apply it in life?However, this may be the difference between excellent students and poor students, Chen Youran couldn't help thinking, and then suddenly thought of a question, "No, aren't you only in the second year of junior high school? You only have chemistry class in the third year of junior high school, right?"

"Yeah, but combustion needs oxygen, which was mentioned in elementary school nature class." Lan Shan stood up, patted her on the shoulder, and walked away.

Chen Youran, who has already graduated from high school, feels inexplicably that she has been underestimated, but she has no way to refute it.

Lan Shan put the corn rice into the steamer again, picked up some yams, picked up the charcoal from the stove, and buried the yams in it.In this way, when a pot of rice is steamed, the yams buried in the ashes will be fully cooked.

The cooked yams are covered with plant ash, and the outer layer of skin is scraped off with broken tiles, revealing the golden rice crust, which is fragrant and crispy.The inside was perfectly cooked, sandy and soft.There is no fried greasy, no boiled pieces, the aroma of the potato is completely sealed inside, and it is the best way to eat it after biting your lips and teeth.

Lan Shan buried six yams, she only ate one, and Chen Youran ate the rest, and she was still a little unsatisfied.

The rice was steamed, but Lan Shan didn't lift it out, so she let it heat up in the pot.She buried the remaining charcoal in ash, which burned more slowly and lasted for a long time.It can be used directly to start a fire later without respawning.

Then she took the pan and sickle, and waved to Chen Youran, "I'll show you uphill."

The Lan family fed two pigs to deal with kitchen waste and leftovers.If one pig is sold every year, there will be a cash income.It is the main source of support for the two children to go to school.Where there is not enough, sell some things produced in the field.The other pig was slaughtered by himself during the Chinese New Year, and the meat cut into large pieces was salted and smoked into bacon, which can be preserved for a long time, and it is the meat share of the whole family for a whole year.The fat is used to refine oil, and it also needs to feed the family for a year.

The people in the cottage are like this, year after year, life is poor, but they can be self-sufficient and rarely communicate with the outside world.

Now Lan Shan is going uphill with a basket on her back, just to cut the weeds and vegetables to feed the pigs.

The weeds in the field have been eradicated, and it only needs a rain to grow new ones. It will flourish in a few days. It is very fresh and tender, and it is also the best pig feed.Lan Shan put the basket on the ridge, got into a cornfield, and started mowing the grass.

Chen Youran squatted aside and watched, and couldn't help but say, "If I had known I would bring an extra sickle, I could have helped."

"Forget it, it will be bad if you cut your hand." Lan Shan smiled without raising her head.

Chen Youran immediately realized that there must be many wounds on her hands. She almost grabbed Lan Shan's hand to check it, but felt that it was too abrupt, so she could only try her best to restrain this impulse, and squatted aside to look at her.

Lan Shan moved quickly, and it didn't take long to mow a basket full of grass.But she didn't go home in a hurry, but took Chen Youran to the nearby bush.Most of this slope land has been reclaimed, leaving only a small piece of forest.However, in order to prevent the trees from covering the land and affecting sunlight when they grow taller, all the taller trees inside have been cut down, and only the shrubs are still thriving over time.

As soon as Chen Youran approached, she saw red fruits growing among clumps of thorny bushes.

Lan Shan pulled the branch that was leaning on the outside, took one off and handed it to her, "Try it, it's delicious."

Chen Youran took a bite and was immediately overwhelmed by its taste.This kind of wild berry called "Hongzhi'er" is sweet and sour, full of flavor, and tastes better than most of the fruits Chen Youran has eaten.

Lan Shan picked a few huge blades of grass and "sewn" them together with wooden thorns to form a temporary container.The two of them picked off all the red pickles in the forest, and Chen Youran held them in his hands with great care, and followed Lan Shan back home.

Lan Shan was carrying a pannier on her back, so she didn't bother to look back.When I got home to check, I found that Chen Youran was holding it eagerly, but didn't eat any of it.

She couldn't laugh or cry, "Why don't you eat? These are for you."

"Let's eat together." Chen Youran said.Things are naturally good things, but sharing them with others seems to make them taste better.Although she knew that Lan Shan didn't lack this kind of food, she still didn't want to eat alone.

Lan Shan didn't refuse either, the two sat side by side at the door, and finished eating a pack full of red beans.

So when Lan Shan said that she could eat after cooking, Chen Youran found that she was already full.Lan Shan also processed the snails and mussels that she hadn't eaten yesterday, picked out the meat, made a stir-fried snail, and put it directly in front of Chen Youran.The main dish is sauerkraut and potatoes, which is also a very good vegetarian dish.

Chen Youran couldn't help asking, "Why don't you save some for them?"

Lan Shan said, "Don't worry, you can eat."

For some reason, Chen Youran suddenly remembered what Lan Shan's mother complained about last night.I guess even if he stays, he won't get any good words, right?Thinking of this, Lan Shan and Lan Shan calmly finished a whole bowl of stir-fried river seafood, and then ate another bowl of rice with soup, rubbing their stomachs all the time.

After the meal, Lan Shan was going to deliver the meal, and Chen Youran could only reluctantly bid farewell.

The two decided on the next time they would come to pick up Lan Shan to go to school. Chen Youran rode her bike home, but on the way she remembered that she had put fishing nets in the river, so she had to collect them again.Lan Shan's family didn't welcome these wild game, so she had to bring them back by herself.

But as soon as he got home, Chen Youran found that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
