A touch of happiness

"Xiu thought about it carefully, and decided to only buy what he could use at the moment.

"It's five copper coins in total." The old man gave him two small pottery vases as a gift.

"Thank you." Xiu happily put them into the pannier, and then carefully secured them with something to prevent them from falling out.

"You're new here, boy." The old man smiled and refilled the tobacco.

Xiu also introduced with a smile. "Well. My name is Xiu."

"My name is Conrad Teutonic, you can call me Kant. As long as it doesn't rain, I will come. If you want to buy seasoning, you can find me." Grandpa Kant took a puff and lightly puffed out the white smoke.

Xiu said goodbye to him with a smile, and continued shopping. "Hey, what's that over there?" There was a cash box not far away.He walked over and asked the uncle who was standing next to him. "Excuse me, hello, I want to ask what this is for?"

"Oh, if you want to set up a stall here, three copper horns a day. Just throw in." The uncle explained with a smile.

"Oh, that's it. Thank you." Xiu counted out three copper horns from the purse and put them in.Because it was not very early, the market was already crowded with stalls, so I had to stand in the corner.

"Is the place too out of the way?" Xiu couldn't help sighing after a long time without a single visitor.

The author has something to say: Happy New Year^0^

summer insect chirping

At this moment. "Ah, is it sesame?" An old woman asked with a kind smile.

Xiu's eyes lit up immediately. "Um."

In the end, the old lady bought not only the sesame seeds, but also Xiu's gammon.Xiu looked at the five silver horns in his hand, counted them carefully several times, and then put them into the purse with satisfaction.

Xiu went shopping around, bought two quilts with three silver corners, and pulled nine feet of cloth with two copper corners and one foot, so that they could be used as bed sheets, and after dyed with sangzi, it would be very beautiful purple.By the way, you can also make curtains.

"There are still 4 silver horns, 2 copper coins, um, there are 4 copper horns. What else do you want to buy later?" Xiu thought as he walked.

There is a grain store over there.Speaking of which, it has been a long time since I ate staple food.As soon as he thought of the soft, elastic and mild taste, Xiu quickly ran in.

The whole store is full of rice fragrance, which makes you want to take a deep breath. "Excuse me, what's the price of rice here?" Xiu asked the clerk.

"Rice is 3 silver horns per catty, and flour is 4 silver horns per catty."

Xiu expresses his despair, it is simply not something he can afford.I apologized to the clerk and walked out.

Forget it, go back.After saying goodbye to Uncle Zhongyou, he went back by himself.

In the quiet forest path, insects have begun to chirp lowly, and small animals slowly waking up from hibernation quickly pass through the short bushes, making a "squeaky" sound.Xiu half-closed his eyes, stretched comfortably, and walked slowly.

This is a beautiful sense of loneliness, the world seems to disappear at the limit of sight, and all the irritability and anxiety seem to disappear together.Even I have a faint sense of existence, I always feel as if I want to melt into the air and dissipate in the warm sunshine.

"Ah, now is not the time to be sad." Xiu smiled and ran forward.

When I got back to the house, I cut the sheets, sewed them up, and put them on the bed. "Oh, no, you need to put a quilt under it first."

After the bed is made, put another comforter on top.And finally his puppet, Wells, next to the pillow.

Go out and collect.I found a lot of fruit for dyeing curtains, filled a large wooden basin with water, soaked the fruit in it, smashed it with a mallet, and let it stand for a while.After the fruit puree sank to the bottom of the water, the cut cloth was put in.

If you want light-colored ones, you can fish them out after a while; if you want dark-colored ones, you can wait until they are fully immersed tomorrow before taking them out.Xiu wanted to dye it differently, so he folded it, put one part on the outside and one side on the inside, so that different parts can be absorbed in different degrees, and it can be dyed into very beautiful patterns.

It didn't feel like doing much, and the sky darkened.Xiu touched his growling stomach, only to realize that he hadn't eaten for a whole day.Cooked something quickly and ate it quickly, then went to sleep.

Already sleepy said.sleep.Let's talk about tomorrow.

Xiu has been lazy since before. Grandpa Yabu said what it is called. Procrastination is said to be incurable~

Xiu saved ten silver coins in the spring. Originally there were 22 silver coins, but he spent a full twelve silver coins on paper, a pen, and a ruler.

Then draw the map of the neighborhood that I have already touched.Made another backup.And mark the food area you find every day.

"Well, write down what you have to do." When I got up in the morning, I went to collect first, came back to eat, and sorted and put away the collected things.Then do the house cleaning.When the sun reaches the top of one of the trees to the west, it's time to eat.Before it gets dark, you can go to the lake and collect some edible things.After it is completely dark, you have to go home quickly, and you can add meals if you are hungry.Then you can start weaving baskets.

Sell ​​the unneeded baskets every three days, remark the food area every week, go to the market every month to sell the things you don't need.

Although the plan was good, Xiu rubbed hard under the warm blanket.I can't get up, the morning cold is really unbearable.

Finally, he couldn't hold back any more, Xiu twitched, and slowly crawled out of the soft blanket.

Lots of good things to do in the morning's collection, such as delicious thorny shoots.However, there were not many mature ones in the first batch, so they were not pickled.Breakfast is saved, and lunch is a great dumpling.The thigh meat was removed from under the eaves, deboned, the meat was chopped and ground, and the bones were smashed hard.First put the bones into a large pot and cook until the bone marrow inside floats out, then add a few shiitake mushrooms and sun-dried goji berries.Chop the fresh thorny shoots with dew and mix them into the meat, then add three bird eggs into it, add an appropriate amount of salt, stir evenly, and then stir vigorously with chopsticks until it sticks together.Cover the pot with a huge fragrant leaf, and press the leaf tightly with small stones.During this period of time, you can make dumpling wrappers. The secret to delicious dumplings is the thin dumpling wrappers.

Roll out the dough several times to make it thin and transparent, but not so that it will break during cooking.Xiu's dumpling-making skill is very powerful.It is said that hundreds of dumplings should be made at a time, and anyone can be proficient. "Remembering the first time I made dumplings, the skin was torn because I played it several times."

Smiled unconsciously.

Even the wrapped dumplings look like smiling mouths.

After the bone broth boils, add a little water and cook again.Then, before it boils, go to sort out the things collected in the morning.Well, beautiful stones for a ring around the fireplace, for decoration.The wild vegetables are put on the shelf, and the birds' eggs are put into the baskets covered with straw.

You can go to the lake once in the afternoon to see the trap just set last night.Oh, and the bone broth is rolling.You can put the dumplings down first.

Just waiting for the dumplings to be cooked, there was a knock on the door suddenly. "Hello."

The author has something to say: I think I'm getting addicted to Green Arrow.

Newcomers

"Oh, here we come." The voice was that of a young boy.

Xiu hurriedly opened the door, looked up and saw two boys, one with fiery red hair and the other with calm brown hair.The facial expressions of the two are also completely different.

The brown-haired boy came up first and spoke. "Hello, we are new neighbors, my name is Er."

"My name is Dana. We used to come from a nursery. We lived in Ender at first, and then we went to Si Sanglin. However, I still like Jia Daishan, so we ran back again. I like it Cookies. By the way, this guy likes mint tea." Redhead Dana smiled brightly like the July sun.

"You talk too much. Shut up." Er slapped him on the head hard.

Xiu couldn't help laughing. "Well, hello, my name is Xiu, and I've only been here not long ago. I'm from Grewlin. Also don't use honorifics for me, I'm definitely a man."

"Hey, you really aren't?" Dana and Er were very surprised.

"Yeah." Xiu nodded fiercely speechlessly.

It was Er who reacted first and changed the subject. "Did you just go out this year?"

"Yeah, it's beyond my expectation to find such a good house." Xiu suddenly remembered that there were still dumplings cooking in the pot. "Ah, by the way, have you eaten yet? I'm cooking dumplings, do you want some?"

"No. (Okay, yes!)" The two spoke at the same time.

"Stupid. Shut up," Earl said angrily.Then whispered in his ear quietly. "He won't be too loose now."

Xiu with good ears said with a smile. "It's okay, because the dumplings are already in the pot, let's have a taste."

Er seemed a little shy because of being heard by him, and his cheeks were a little red.

"Great." Dana almost jumped in, hooked his neck with a smile and led him in. "Did you hear that, come in quickly. I've smelled the fragrance a long time ago."

Xiu warmly entertained them.The dumplings were very delicious.At the same time, he also knew that Dana and the others came out two years earlier than him.From Dana's nagging, I learned a lot of interesting things about Er's childhood.

"Our family lives in the southeast. Come and play when you have time." Dana smiled and waved his hands, and jumped down from the tree proudly.

"Idiot, how many times have I told you, don't jump right away." Denali went down and gave him another lesson.

Xiu watched them fight at the window
