In a small tent, if you want to cover it from all sides, it can only accommodate three people at most.
Xu Tianxin ran to the creek, soaked a piece of dry white cloth, and used the wild rose pig pancreas soap he made to make some foam and wipe his face and neck.
Then he soaked another old dark gray cloth that he carried with him.
There was no extra cloth at home to use as a face and footcloth. This was an old gray cloth torn from the quilt after time travel. Xu Tianxin kept using it to wipe his feet.
It is convenient to use hot water at home. Xu Tianxin will also wash the old cloth with plant ash water, then scald it with boiling water and wipe the washed buttocks with it.
At this time, after Xu Tianxin washed his face and rinsed his mouth, he squatted by the stream and continued to scrub the foot cloth. He wanted to clean the foot cloth and hid in the tent to wipe the bottom.
Mrs. Xu knew what her granddaughter was busy with at a glance.
A trip here is ten times more difficult than riding a hard-seat green train for a week a few decades ago.
At least the train is fast, which is good, but sleeping in the open air, and the round trip plus just being on the road will take a month.
There is a strong wind and a small howling, but it is not bad at the moment. Wait until winter, when the north wind blows snowflakes, and try again. No one is willing to go out for fear of dying on the road. No wonder the goods sold by repurchase merchants are expensive.
In order to rush on the road, my granddaughter has not wiped it for several days.
Not to mention that the little girl who loves to be clean couldn't bear it, even she, an old woman, wanted to hide in a deserted place and wash herself, otherwise she would smell like sitting there.
Especially just now, she accidentally scraped the corncob too hard, and when she got up, she was so painful that she could only walk two steps.
I already had hemorrhoids, which made me grin for a while. I was afraid that my granddaughter would be worried, so I said I was numb from squatting. I really want to wash it with hot water, apply some cooling medicine and have a good sleep.
Mrs. Xu told her granddaughter not to use the cold handkerchief because there was hot water in the clay pot.
Usually there is not enough hot water for everyone to drink. In addition to eating and drinking, we have to fill the water bladders and bamboo tubes we carry with us.
Tonight, Xu Youcang went a long way and picked up a lot of firewood. Others had already finished eating and had rested. Xu Youcang was eating baked potatoes beside him. He choked after eating so fast that he rolled his eyes.
The rolling eyes may also be because he dislikes his niece and my mother for being so stinky and fastidious.
It was late at night, and my mother and niece didn't mind being tired, so they took it and washed themselves.
Xu Tianxin not only washed his own handkerchief and footcloth cleanly, but also washed grandma's sweat towel until it was fragrant.
Grandma only had this towel. Before time travel, the original grandma not only used it to wipe her face and feet, but also used it to bathe and wipe her body. Even her aunt did the same.
Ever since they arrived, Xu Tianxin and grandma have been sharing a face towel.
I used this piece of cloth to wipe my grandma's body and feet.
It will be good to wait until we get to Fucheng. Grandma said that if we go out to Dachengchi this time to buy cloth, it will be cheap and ready.
Mrs. Xu picked up the clay pot and poured slightly hot water on her granddaughter's two handkerchiefs. Then Xu Tianxin got into the tent and wiped them briefly.
Just wiping it, she felt that she was living quite comfortably. She lay on the straw mat with a slightly careless grin, and wrapped the left side of her body with an oilcloth as a quilt. She opened her arms and shouted: "Brother, hurry up." When you come in, the mats have been wiped. When you sleep, you also put the oilcloth on your body. I hold your arm again so that we can sleep without ventilation. "
Mrs. Xu hid in the tent and wiped herself in the dark. She also felt extremely comfortable. As soon as she lay down, she was overcome with exhaustion. Before she fell asleep, she was still thinking that if the live broadcast had not been interrupted and she had to shout the password every day when it started broadcasting, she would not be able to take her granddaughter out. It would be too painful.
Mrs. Xu didn't know that her third son didn't sleep tonight.
According to the shift arrangement, it is not Youcang who keeps vigil tonight, but the grandson of the fourth uncle's family.
She thought that Ariakura would go back to the big tent to sleep after eating the potatoes and drinking some water.
Before she fell asleep, she could hear snoring coming from the big tent.
Xu Youcang listened carefully and heard that his mother and niece were no longer moving before he stood up to patrol.
First, they checked around the two tents and spread some anti-snake medicine, and then fed some fodder to the mules and cattle that were not resting. Then they ran to the creek and boiled the water in a clay pot, and gave everyone the water bags and bamboo tubes they brought with them. After filling it up, everyone took off their shoes after finishing their work. They stepped on their shoes quickly and relaxed, warming themselves by the fire while staring at the surroundings.
Before Xu Youcang went out, his second brother specifically asked him to have some snacks so that his mother-in-law and niece could return safely.
The younger brother said, let him have some life in his eyes, no matter what he is busy with, he must rush to get it, so as not to tire his mother and niece.
But this trip was very strange. His mother and niece wouldn't let him help carry the basket.
To say that he was afraid of embarrassing him, he was selling Uncle Guan's condoms without him, and he wasn't allowed to see them. He knew about it before he left, and it had nothing to do with the two baskets. Besides, the two baskets were also missing, and I heard they were given to a table full of ladies.
But my niece carries that little white basket in when she sleeps, so what’s in it?
Xu Youcang originally thought they were clothing items that his daughter had brought with her when she went out, but he accidentally picked them up, but they were as heavy as a flour bag. His niece's small body did not allow him to carry them.
Regardless of what he was pretending to be, the designation was not to guard against him. Xu Youcang thought that he still had some confidence.
And in the dead of night, it was hard to use his brain to analyze things when he couldn't sleep. He didn't ask or inquire about things that his mother and niece didn't want him to know for the time being, and he didn't even mention it to anyone when he got home.
But when he entered the city, his mother and niece were nowhere to be seen, so he had to take cover.
If someone asked his mother what was in the basket again like before, and asked him privately, he would help hide it.
After all, when he was on the road before, Lao Wan's boy had asked him privately, wondering how many treasures your mother had brought with her, and why all the baskets had lids and were tied tightly.
Xu Youcang didn't know that the thing he was wondering about was salt. Mrs. Xu brought the salt out when she went out this time.
She and her granddaughter were brave and careful. They buried the salt bag with millet and brought out fifteen kilograms of refined salt. Under normal circumstances, only men would be searched, and only those with a lot of goods on the car would be inspected. She carried the fifteen kilograms of refined salt in a basket through the city gate. When she entered the county town, she did not dare to leave it at Lao Liu's house, so Xu Tianxin carried it Carrying it in a small basket.
It’s not easy for grandparents and grandchildren. Every day is like carrying a time bomb.
Mrs. Xu crawled out of the tent at dawn and got up for the night, only to find out that her third son had not slept all night, so she sent the one who was supposed to be on duty at night back and watched the wolves for everyone.
Mrs. Xu heard a louder snoring sound in the big tent, so she forced Mrs. Xu to push her to the edge of the tent and let her squint for a while.
Xu Tianxin woke up when he heard the voice and rubbed his eyes. He opened the tent and whispered: "Milk, can we sneak some food?"
"Yes, it's a rare opportunity." Mrs. Xu knew that her granddaughter was actually afraid that her third uncle would be hungry.
Mrs. Xu went to the stream to fetch water and secretly cooked two bowls of "Yuhuan noodles" for her son and granddaughter.
No more selling, just some food. The three of them sat in a small tent, Xu Yousan used a pot to eat, and the grandfather and grandson used bowls to twist out the chili sauce.
Xu Youcang ate so much that he didn't dare to grunt.
So cautiously, everyone continued on their way after dawn, and some boys said that they seemed to dream of eating hot soup noodles.
When Mrs. Xu and the others were about to arrive at the inn run by Mr. Liu, the county restaurant had been trying to make jade ring noodles for several days but failed.
Seeing that several baskets of fish were wasted and a lot of sweet potato noodles wasted, the owner of the county restaurant said angrily: "This is what the kitchen and the waiter will eat for breakfast and lunch these days to save some food."
Just pointing my nose and cursing means nothing.
It’s just a small fish noodle, why can’t it be made?
The faces of the two chefs turned red. They used rolling pins to roll the fish, grate it, or chop it like dumpling fillings. It fell apart when they touched it.
Later, I tried tapping more than a dozen times. If I knocked harder, it would break, but if I knocked smaller, it would still be fish meat. Finally, after two sticks of incense sticks were stuck together, they broke when I lifted them up, and I couldn't lift them up at all. Needless to say, I want to make noodles. I very much doubt that the jade ring noodles were knocked out.
The two chefs remembered the sweet potato flour they tasted, and then put the sweet potato flour in by rolling, grinding, chopping, and pounding. This was done dozens or hundreds of times. Let’s not talk about other difficulties. I only tried how much sweet potato flour to sprinkle on several times without success.
Increase the amount of flour, and it will become flour soup directly in the pot. If you don't add a large amount, it will not be kneaded into dough. If you add less, it will be broken. Even those with a short temper can't do this job.
Shopkeeper Wu looked at his boss, thinking that he didn't know whether to say something or not.
If you can make it after tasting it, then there is no such thing as a secret recipe in the world. The son, grandson and grandson didn’t have the confidence to sell it at that high price. If you dare to ask for a price, it means this is the only one.
Speaking of the secret recipe, the boss looked at Shopkeeper Wu and said, "Send someone over in the next few days and ask them if they sell the secret recipe."
"Master, what's the base price?"
"Within a hundred taels."
