Chapter 349 I’m back
The beeswax, which had solidified and cooled after a night of absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, had now moved to another place.
There was a small stove on top of the charcoal basin, and the firewood underneath was burning brightly, melting the beeswax in the stove.
On the other side of the table, there were small bamboo tubes standing side by side, with cotton threads already strung inside.
Because of a big mistake last night, many Japanese people were cleaning up the room.
"Xiaozhi, just watch here. After the beeswax melts, pour it into these bamboo tubes, put them in place, and wait for them to solidify."
After Xu Yuan gave the instructions, he carried a hoe into the vegetable garden, found a place on the side of the mountain, and began to dig a piece of land, preparing to plant the seeds of the hot peppers and colorful peppers that he had exchanged from the mall.
I thought about the cupboards full of honey jars and the tubes of dried fish in the utility room. When the cured fish and Cantonese dishes are almost done, I will take some out to sell.
The corn seeds that were planted earlier have sprouted now, and we will have to apply some fertilizer after some time.
The sugarcane planted on the side of the mountain was also growing lushly. Except for the plots of bitter melon, sweet potato leaves and Chinese cabbage that were destroyed by the chicken last night, everything was growing well.
It took a quarter of an hour to finish leveling the land. The air was very stuffy, without a trace of wind. It was raining today.
Xuyuan took out the seeds and sprinkled them directly on the ground, then watered them as a token of his appreciation.
After leaving the vegetable garden, Xu Yuan looked again at the loquat seedling in the yard and the grape seedlings planted some time ago. They were still the same as usual, without any change at all.
Looking at Xu Zhi's side, the progress was quite smooth. Even many Japanese sweets used to clean up the room had been brought over.
"Sister, can this really replace the oil lamp? Will it be brighter than the oil lamp?" Many people asked curiously.
Xuyuan responded: "Almost."
"Boom..."
The originally clear sky suddenly thundered, the sky suddenly became dark, and a breeze finally blew in the stuffy air.
The four siblings who made a wish put away all the things that were drying on the shelves in the yard.
"Wang Wang Wang..."
The thunder seemed to scare Lai Fu, who ran out of his nest, raised his head and shouted towards the sky.
Xu Yuan took a look at the wolf cub and couldn't help but smile. He didn't know how to raise this wolf cub. It looked more and more like a puppy. After shouting, it ran to rub Xiaoduo's feet.
There was thunder but no rain. After Xuyuan hung up the cured fish, a few drops of rain began to fall from the sky, and then it gradually got heavier.
After the beeswax was prepared, some was kept for making a wish, and the rest was melted into liquid and poured into the bamboo tube.
On rainy days, it is another day to stay at home and relax.
Guozi, Xuanyu and Xu Zhi were called over, and the three of them sat together in a row. Xu Yuan and Xu Zhi prepared the medicinal materials, while Xuanyu and Guozi were responsible for packaging. It was another day of making the marinade bags.
While making a wish, he also checked the arithmetic skills of several people.
"Sister, just ask me. I have learned how to count, and I have memorized all the multiplication tables you taught me." Xuanyi patted his chest and asked confidently.
When making a wish, ask several questions in a row, rub the palms of your hands a few times, mutter something in your mouth, and then make a wish out loud.
"Good, Xiaoduo, keep up the good work." The wish did not take long to observe, because there was another thunder, which frightened Lai Fu so much that he screamed and ran out of the nest with his tail curled up, and went straight into the pile of straw in the kitchen.
If you don’t know, you might think it was struck by lightning.
"Hahaha, Lai Fu, why are you so timid?" Many people were amused by Lai Fu's series of actions. They quickly got up, ran to the straw pile, and comforted him softly.
"Don't be afraid, Lai Fu." Xuanyu touched Lai Fu's head and held him in his arms.
"Sister, Lai Fu is the only dog in this family. Will he feel lonely?"
Xu Yuan took a look and saw Xu Zhi, Xuanyu, Guo Guo, himself, and Lai Fu who was picked up.
I suddenly felt...
It turns out that they are all children without a father or a mother...
But loneliness is a normal human emotion, for both humans and animals.
Xu Yuan didn't say this out loud.
Xu Yuan retracted his gaze and chuckled, "Xiao Duo, what you said makes sense. Let's see if there is a chance to find a companion for Lai Fu some other day."
"Sister, I've thought of a name for Lai Fu's brother. Let's call him Lai Fu. The Fu in wealth means good fortune and money!" Many people said, "How about this name? Is it good?"
The dog hasn’t even appeared yet, and you’ve already given it a name?
Xu Yuan glanced at the wolf cubs in his arms and chuckled helplessly.
The rain kept falling and there were thunders from time to time. Lai Fu, the cowardly wolf cub, hid directly in the straw stalks and no matter how Xuanyue shouted, he didn't respond.
I spent the whole day packing the marinade bags. It was not until dusk when the rain gradually stopped that I heard a knock on the door.
Xu Yuan guessed that it must be the things that he asked Gu Qinghan to bring back from the county town.
Holding an umbrella, he opened the gate.
"Ayuan, I'm back." Gu Qinghan smiled at Xu Yuan while sitting in the ox cart. There was a tarpaulin on the ox cart, so there was no problem in sheltering from the wind and rain.
"Yeah." Xu Yuan responded with a smile and opened the gate.
"How's it going? Did it go well?"
"of course."
Gu Qinghan nodded and drove the ox cart into the yard.
"Brother Gu, you're back!" Many Japanese fruit lovers and Xu Zhi heard the noise, ran out, leaned against the kitchen door, and greeted Gu Qinghan.
Gu Qinghan took out an oil-paper bag from the cloth bag and handed it to Yifan. "This is the cake for you. Take it and eat it."
"Thank you, Brother Gu." Xuanyu took it happily.
Gu Qinghan and Xu Yuan took the things on the cart into the kitchen one by one. Gu Qinghan sat down at the table, took a bowl of water and started drinking.
The first thing Xu Yuan did was to deal with the fat board that Gu Qinghan brought back. Seeing that it was already cut into pieces, he was stunned and looked at the man standing beside him, "Gu Qinghan, did you do this?"
"My family also bought some, so I'll cut it for you while I'm at it."
"Thank you." Xu Yuan curled his lips.
Pour the cut lard slices into a large pot and boil them into oil.
"Gu Qinghan, please sit here for a while. I have something for you."
After making a wish, he washed his hands and walked out.
He glanced at the kitchen where there were several baskets full of seasoning packets, then stood up and put the packets to where they should be.
"Brother Gu, have some cakes." Xuanyu brought over a piece of cake, which was an osmanthus cake.
"No, you eat. I'm thirsty. Just drink some water." Gu Qinghan was not very interested in these sweet things and refused.
"Oh." Xuanyu had no choice but to stuff the pastry into his mouth and sat opposite Gu Qinghan.
"You guys eat first, I'll talk to your eldest sister about something."
After Gu Qinghan finished speaking, he walked out of the kitchen.
Just then, he met Xu Yuan's eyes as she was walking out of the room. "A Yuan, I have to go back first. I have some things to do at home."
