Back to the era with space materials

The chicken was not simmered very much, and only half a can of water was added. Si Ningning was afraid that the soup would be salty, so he only added a little salt.

If Mo Bei feels the taste is bland after eating it, while the soup is still piping hot, add some salt and stir it up.

When the clay pot was simmering in the stove, you could smell the rich aroma of chicken soup. Now that you put it in front of your eyes, the smell is naturally even stronger.

Mo Bei carefully looked at the chicken soup in front of him. There were only three pieces of chicken in the bowl, and the soup was more than half a bowl. Under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, the chicken was tender and tender yellow. There was a slight dazzling oily sheen on the chicken skin and the surface of the soup. You could vaguely see floating

Tangled ginger and chopped green onion.

I couldn't tell if there were any special seasonings, but it smelled like something I'd eaten at home.

It's a familiar scent that's delicious and makes people miss it.

"Yeah." Mo Bei responded softly. He picked up the chopsticks with his slender bamboo-like fingers and poked the chicken like a small gesture. He blew lightly before lowering his head and taking a sip.

The hot taste smelled very similar to what he had eaten at home, but Mo Bei could still taste the difference once he took it into his mouth.

The chicken soup I drink at home is either too oily or the chicken is loose and chewy, but the chicken soup made by Si Ningning doesn't feel that way at all.

The chicken soup is silky and not greasy in the mouth, and the taste is innate. The chicken is also very firm. If you are an older person eating chicken, you may find it difficult to chew.

But Mo Bei is young, so eating like this feels right.

After eating half a bowl of soup in two mouthfuls, and then drying out a piece of firm meaty wing, Mo Bei raised his head and looked up at Si Ningning, who was standing at the corner of the table. The two petals were three-dimensional, and the oily lips opened and closed twice, "The saltiness is just right.

Very delicious.”

Under the flickering kerosene lamp, Mo Bei's face and facial features looked increasingly tough and profound. Si Ningning looked at his bright starry eyes that reflected the flames of the kerosene lamp, and then moved her eyes upward to notice his interrupted right eyebrow. For a moment,

Si Ningning felt slightly shaken.

It is undeniable that Mo Bei's background, appearance, and cold temperament can eliminate him from the queue of ordinary people, whether it is front or side, but...

The scar caused by the accident on Mo Bei's face seemed to match his facial features unexpectedly.

The originally cold and handsome face suddenly changed the atmosphere around Mo Bei because of the scar that caused the broken eyebrow. At first glance, people could no longer feel the unique youthful spirit and youthfulness in him, and then it was reflected again.

What he has is the decisiveness and perseverance that a man should have, and a light melancholy that is between a teenager and an adult, mixed with a burden.

Or, is it melancholy caused by some special event?

Si Ningning could feel it, and even thought funny in her heart: She seemed to be witnessing the growth and transformation of Mo Bei and everyone in the educated youth spot as a person who had been through it.

Although the two intertwined auras on Mo Bei are very different and contradictory, isn't human nature and the human heart so complicated and changeable?

After all the comparisons before and after, Mo Bei is more vivid and unique than before, isn't he?

Speaking of which, this era seems to be rich in handsome men and beautiful women?

Mo Bei is quite handsome, and so is Huo Lang.

Thinking about the other people around her, Song Xiaoyun is very beautiful among girls.

Sanya, the youngest daughter of Zhao Hongbing's family on the team, has a pointed face, big dark eyes, and small and delicate lips. She is also very beautiful. When she opens up a bit in the future, she will become a little beauty.

In addition to these people, looking further away, the three brothers of the Gu family who work together in the black market business are all tall and strong men with thick eyebrows and big eyes. They are also very handsome and distinctive.

The more he thought about it, the more he realized it was. Si Ningning was amused by her own thoughts, and she unconsciously raised her eyebrows and smiled softly.

After a while, Si Ningning came back to her senses and looked into Mo Bei's eyes looking at her. Only then did Si Ningning realize the current situation. She quickly put her fist to her lips and coughed lightly to cover up her distracted embarrassment, "As long as it tastes good, there's still some in the jar.

You drink slowly and wash out the jars and bowls after you finish. I'll go do other things first."

"Okay." Mo Bei nodded. Seeing that Si Ningning was about to leave, he reached out with his left hand as if to pull Si Ningning. He thought of something and pulled back his hand, calling Si Ningning to stop him, "Si Ningning!"

"Um?"

Mo Bei's eyes flickered, he wanted to talk to Si Ningning, but he stopped him but didn't know what to say.

I was very worried that Si Ningning would notice his hidden thoughts through a casual remark, and thus become disgusted with him and avoid him...

Si Ningning saw that Mo Bei was only looking at her and said nothing for a long time. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he felt a little confused and confused, "What's wrong?"

"Hmm...it's okay." Mo Bei shook his head calmly, calmed down for a moment, and finally suppressed his affection, and said in a cold and calm tone, "Si Zhiqing, I probably need to trouble you for the remaining chicken."

Si Ningning was briefly stunned by Mo Bei's sudden change of unfamiliar title, but Si Ningning didn't pay much attention to it. He smiled slightly and nodded: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged. I will be responsible for this matter to the end."

Mo Bei's heart skipped a beat at these words, but when he realized that the words didn't mean what he thought, the slight smile on his lips fell back unconsciously.

Si Ningning was not aware of his mental activities over there. After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment. Seeing that he didn't speak again, he said, "Then I'll get busy first?"

"Yeah." Mo Bei smiled bitterly and nodded, "You go ahead, I'll take care of it later."

"Okay~" Si Ningning smiled happily and turned around to go about her business.

I pulled out a lot of radishes in the evening, so I will definitely not be able to sleep early tonight.

There were two lamps lit in the house, one in the kitchen and one in the main room. In the kitchen, Xu Shuhua was making pickles, and the radish tassels she picked had to be boiled with hot water before they could be put into the altar.

In the main room, Si Ningning brought a chopping board to cut the radishes into slices so that they could be dried tomorrow. Both Jiang Yue and Song Xiaoyun were clamoring to learn how to make dried radishes from her, but they heard

It was a job like slicing radish that didn't require so high a technical level, and both of them were rushing to do it.

Si Ningning raised her eyebrows lightly, put the kitchen knife on the chopping board, smiled with curved lips, "Don't try to steal from either of you, there are such a big pile of radishes!"

Jiang Yue and Song Xiaoyun turned their heads and saw that it was true.

He immediately let go of his hand holding the kitchen knife, "Then you go first."

"You first..."

The two pushed and pulled each other for a while, and finally agreed that each person would have half. This "half" was very strict. How strict could it be?

It's just two people standing around a pile of radishes, one by one and one by one.

Si Ningning smiled at Jiang Yue and Song Xiaoyun's childish play. She didn't have time to spare either. She brought the lotus seeds that had been almost dried in the past few days into the house. She used small scissors to hold one end of the lotus seeds and rotate them half a circle, and then removed them easily.

Lotus seed skin.

Just peeling off the outer skin was not enough, so Si Ningning went outside the door and groped around again, and broke off a dry bamboo side branch.

After getting some water and cleaning the short bamboo side branches, Si Ningning sat back at the table and removed the skin of the lotus seeds while using the side branches to push out the green core in the center of the lotus seeds.

Under normal circumstances, the outer skin and lotus core should be removed when picked from the lake, and then dried afterwards.

Something happened this time. Si Ningning was not there when it was drying, which led to the current situation.

But it's hard to go and go back, but fortunately, things are saved.

Si Ningning kept her temper and worked hard while guiding Jiang Yue and the others:

"Don't cut it too thin or too thick, just cut it as wide as one finger."

Jiang Yue asked, "Isn't one finger's width too thick?"

Si Ningning shook his head, "It looks thick now. When I take it out to bask in the sun tomorrow, it will shrink and the overall compression will not be even one-third of what it is now."

"Oh! That's okay!"

Originally, she thought she had to cut very thin, but Jiang Yue couldn't get up to speed. Now when she cut it one finger wide, she suddenly felt like she had relaxed her requirements. Suddenly, her speed increased rapidly.

Jiang Yue was busy with her hands and her mouth was busy: "Am I becoming more and more capable?"

She smiled strangely at Si Ningning and Song Xiaoyun and blinked, "How about it, is it no worse than model workers?"

Song Xiaoyun laughed and nodded harmlessly, and Si Ningning laughed, "Yes."

Jiang Yue's mouth split open, and before she could laugh out loud, Si Ningning joked again: "Others are a model worker, and you are a model worker."

[Laoren: generally describes a child who is naughty and mischievous and difficult to discipline.]

When Jiang Yue heard this, she immediately straightened her face and glared: "You are just jealous of me!"

"Yes, yes, you are the best, I am always jealous!"

The lotus seeds were almost done, so Si Ningning took the lotus seeds aside with a bamboo basket, preparing to take them out to dry again tomorrow. At the same time, she responded to Jiang Yue with a funny smile and rolled her eyes.

Jiang Yue knew that Si Ningning was joking, so she didn't care about Si Ningning's aura. Instead, she made fists with her hands on her hips, raised her chin high, and had a smug "I knew it" expression on her face.

Si Ningning was amused by her. After cleaning up the lotus seed skins scattered on the floor, she laughed and chatted a lot. Then, Si Ningning turned around and went to the kitchen.

"What's left unfinished?" Si Ningning rolled up his sleeves, "I'm here to help."

Xu Shuhua was squatting on the ground working. When she heard the voice, she looked up and saw it was Si Ningning. Xu Shuhua said happily: "You can't do this, I have to do it."

Xu Shuhua placed a basin next to her, containing watered radish tassels. Xu Shuhua then slightly balled up a complete radish tassel and put it into the jar.

Si Ningning was so curious by Xu Shuhua's words that she squatted beside Xu Shuhua, looked at her, and asked, "Why can't I do it?"

"I'm not looking down on you." Xu Shuhua explained with a smile on her face, "This job does not require any skills, it only requires strength. If the jar is not broken, you have to press it to death. The harder it is, the better."

Many types of pickles are often taboo about oil in the jar, such as pickling radish tassels. It is not only taboo about whether there is oil in the jar when pickling, but also taboo about the presence of air and bubbles between the leaves of radish tassels.

Si Ningning Moyue understood some of the principles, and saw that Xu Shuhua would press very hard every time she put a ball of radish tassels into the jar, her face turned red and she was still pressing, so she did not say anything to help.

She can still try other jobs that do not require skills, but in terms of strength, she is indeed not as good as Xu Shuhua.

The work of pickling radish leaves didn't help much, so Si Ningning helped clean up the stove and put everything back to their respective places. After everything was done, the pile of radishes in the main room was cut to the lowest level.

.

Si Ningning took Jiang Yue and Song Xiaoyun to put the radish slices into pots. They filled three large pots. After filling, they sprinkled salt and mix well. Si Ningning clapped her hands and walked out, "Okay, let's do this for today.

Let’s go! Let the salt drain out the water at night, then take it out and rinse it with water tomorrow and then take it out to dry.”

"Okay, got it~"

Afterwards it was time to fetch water and wash up.

Si Ningning had been running outside for most of the day and had sweated a lot. Before returning to the production team, she had already taken a shower and washed her hair when she changed out of men's clothes halfway before returning to the production team. She did not do any sweaty physical work after she came back.

So I just took a bath with water and soaked my feet.

In the past, it was always too hot to sleep, but now it is chilly in the morning and evening this season, so you need to put a small quilt on your body to sleep at night. Si Ningning felt that the temperature was just right, so after pouring the water, she went back to the house, went to bed, drew up the mosquito net, and lay down.

In addition to the comfortable temperature, there is another reason why Si Ningning went to bed so early.

In the past, every time she went up the mountain, she would get up in the middle of the night and go into the space to prepare all the food for the next day.

But this time is different. The ready-to-eat food she made in the space a while ago has not been finished yet. She just needs to take some time to wrap it in oil paper before setting off tomorrow. She doesn't have to wait for everyone to fall asleep before entering the space.

When things go away, people become more relaxed.

When people are idle, they just want to be lazy and comfortable.

Si Ningning rolled up the small blanket and rolled around on the bed twice. With nothing to do, she straightened her body and stretched her legs comfortably. She was thinking about how to get comfortable, but it seemed that she was pulling too hard all of a sudden.

Which tendon caused the sole of the foot to cramp, and Si Ningning shivered and screamed "Ouch".

After several sounds, the three girls in the adjacent beds all looked over and asked, "What's going on? What's going on?"

"..."

Can you tell the truth about this stupid thing?

Definitely not.

Si Ningning was speechless for a moment and explained dryly: "It's okay... I just had a cramp in my leg just now and it hurt a bit."

When the girls heard that everything was fine, they sat back on their beds one by one, but they chatted a few more words about the cramps:

"Camps really hurt. The last time I had a calf cramp, it was so painful that I lost all strength in my hands and couldn't even hold anything! Fortunately, the things I was holding were not afraid of falling, otherwise I would have been very distressed if I had broken them!"

"I heard there are many explanations for cramps!"

"What statement?"

"Some people say the cramps are caused by a lack of nutrition in the body, while others say the cramps are caused by cold. Which of the two is correct?"

"I don't think anything is right! We all do the same work, and we all eat the same food. How come some people never get cramps?"

"That's not necessarily the case. If someone eats something good, they must eat it in hiding at home, and they can also bring it out for you to see. Can they be arranged later?"

"Forget it, stop arguing, no matter what the reason is, go to sleep!" Jiang Yue interrupted Xu Shuhua and Song Xiaoyun who were arguing fiercely, yawned, and continued: "Work hard tomorrow, and you can rest the day after tomorrow.
