C80 (2/2)
He pressed lightly on the dough, and before it could ferment properly, he placed it aside once more.
He brought out the rice that was already cooked in the pot, poured hot oil and fried a truffle mushroom, a wild egg, and steamed a bowl of fragrant egg soup for Lin'er.
She said that no matter what, she had to go and wash the dishes. Jin Xiaolou could not reject her, so she took the broken egg and carefully stuck it onto the bubble on Lin'er's hands and feet.
By the time Gui Zhi finished his work and entered the room, the sky was already completely dark.
Jin Xiaolou and the others did not have any candles, only the lantern that they had brought over yesterday was used up.
Once the sky darkened, there was nothing that could be done. Only the Lin'er's slurred voice could be heard from time to time could be heard.
Jin Xiaolou opened her round eyes and blinked her eyes in the darkness. She wasn't used to sleeping so early in the morning.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked Gui Qi, ”Do you know which families in the village have cattle?”
After asking, he added, ”Cow.”
Gui Qi was stunned. ”Why are you asking this? Cow... ”Only Granny Zheng's house on the west side of the village was left with her family. With no one to plow the farmland with, they exchanged the cattle for a cow from the town and used it to raise calves.”
Gui Qi continued, ”Grandma Zheng's cow just laid down her calf a few days ago and exchanged it with Li Zheng's family for half a year's worth of food.”
”Is that so? That's great! ” Jin Xiaolou reached out and poked Gui Qi, ”When Lin'er is asleep, let's run out!”
”Run...” ”Run out …?” Gui Qi was stunned. ”Where are you going?”
”Let's go to Grandma Zheng's house and milk her!” Jin Xiaolou could not hide the excitement in her tone.
This feeling was too similar to high school. After the lights in the dorm went out, he carried the auntie with him and sneaked out to play.
”Milk?” Gui Zhi immediately extended his hand out and placed it on Jin Xiaolou's forehead.
Gui Zhi's hand was warm and soft. The moment it touched Jin Xiaolou's cold and icy forehead, it immediately heated up.
”Lou, you can't have gotten sick from me and got a fever, right? are already starting to talk nonsense. ” Gui Zhi repeatedly touched it and said, ”It's not that hot either.”
Jin Xiaolou pulled Gui Zhi's hand away, ”If you're not talking nonsense, let's go milk and make some cheese!”
”It's dark. Every household in the village has fallen asleep. Who knows what we did in the dark!” Jin Xiaolou encouraged her by saying, ”Besides, don't you want to eat cheese? It's better with cheese in the pizza. ”
”Lou, how did you know so many strange things? I've never heard of cheese. ”
”If you don't know, then you must try even more.” Jin Xiaolou listened to the movements of the Lin'er, ”Come, Gui Qi, there are many things you don't know, follow me, I will bring you to try!”
Gui Qi was a little afraid and a little perturbed, but when Jin Xiaolou held onto her hand, she threw caution to the wind.
In the night sky after the heavy rain, the stars were twinkling.
Under the twinkling stars, the bright white tea flowers fell to the ground when they met with the two flying girls.
Just as she ran past a bunch of wild sweet potatoes, Jin Xiaolou pulled back with the osmanthus branch. Borrowing the moonlight, she plucked two large round leaves from the sweet potato.
Jin Xiaolou folded the leaf and changed it into the shape of a small hat. She then put it on Gui Qi and herself.
Gui Zhi scratched Jin Xiaolou's nose. This little girl, sher wishful thinking had increased more and more recently. But Gui Zhi actually liked the current Jin Xiaolou, he was so passionate, smart and clear, like a flowing mountain spring.
Unlike the past, he would only be oppressed by others if he didn't say anything after a long period of silence.
The two of them crossed the field and entered the village. As soon as they entered, the village dogs began to bark in twos and threes.
However, as the dogs continued to bark, no one dared to get up to check.
They crossed half the village and found their way behind the stone mill at Grandma Zheng's house.
Granny Zhen had no dog, only a cow, shut up in a barn next to the house.
Jin Xiaolou took out the wooden barrel she had prepared beforehand, took a deep breath and walked into the cow shed.
This was the first time she heard of milking a cow. It was so strong, if one accidentally hurt the cow, what would happen to one of her legs?
Just as he was thinking this, the cow in the cow shed started bawling.
Gui Qi immediately clutched his chest, extremely nervous.
Jin Xiaolou's voice came from inside: ”Don't be afraid, we're awake. She's very obedient.”
Just as he finished speaking, an oil lamp lit up in the room.
