Chapter 138： "pocket watch"

Chapter 138 “Pocket Watch”

This time about what happened to Wu Yong, we can actually see many details that we had not noticed before.

For example, Xu Shuhua hesitated before the big event.

Mo Bei is fair and unbiased.

Li Lingyuan’s upright sense of justice.

There is also Jiang Yue’s unexpected firmness of thought.

Of course, there are also Song Shuhan and Song Xiaoyun who chose to protect themselves wisely from beginning to end and never said a word...

 Comparing the before and after, it seems that apart from the inexplicable throbbing and longing that day, it really...

It really seems that only when you get along with Huo Lang, you feel natural and comfortable.

Probably because Huo Lang was a few years older than the others, and her thoughts were relatively mature, Si Ningning subconsciously felt that she was equal, even weak, in front of Huo Lang, and she belonged to the side that should be taken care of.

There is no need to worry all the time whether a young person's self-esteem will be hurt by an unintentional word.

 After being distracted for just a moment, the small black ball in his hand was crushed, and black debris spilled out from between his fingers. The wetness was blown by the wind, and it was cold. Si Ningning suddenly came back to his senses.

"What are you thinking about?" Si Ningning's eyes widened and she subconsciously put her face in her hands.

At this moment, he seemed to realize something again, and he quickly turned around and leaned over the bucket to wash his face.

Wash the dirt off your face, and feel cool and comfortable in the wind.

Si Ningning put his hands on the handle of the bucket, rested his forehead on the back of his hands, and looked at himself at the water level in the bucket through the gap.

Her pretty face was covered with water drops, and her thin hair was stuck to her forehead and face, not to mention how embarrassed she was.

A few drops of water dripped down his chin into the bucket, breaking up the almost illusory image, and Si Ningning felt inexplicably irritated.

She poured out the dirty water, filled half a bucket of water and put it in the pond. She randomly squeezed the remaining **** ball into small ones, then washed her hands and returned to the window holding the leaves.

I originally wanted to dry the mosquito coils there, but as soon as I got closer, I came face to face with the garland swinging in the wind.

Si Ningning felt her heart choke, her cheeks bulged, and she glared at the wreath angrily.

The morning has passed, both the flowers and leaves have wilted, and the fragrance is far less than it was in the morning.

After hesitating for a long time, Si Ningning still scooped half a ladle of water over, dipped her hands in the water and flicked the garland a few times. Her slightly wrinkled crescent eyebrows gradually loosened, and the corners of her lips also quietly raised without knowing it.

To be fair, Si Ningning longs for Hua He’s peaceful and comfortable life...

After pouring the water and returning the gourd and ladle to the kitchen, Si Ningning quietly went back to the room and took out the pencil case and book. Considering that Xu Shuhua and the others might want to learn how to make mosquito coils, she sat at the table in the main room and sequenced and matched the steps. Write it down item by item.

In addition, Si Ningning also wrote about several other ingredients. What are the functions of the ingredients and how much should be added when adding them? Si Ningning wrote them down without reservation.

As soon as she closed the book, there was a rustling sound in the room behind her.

Having been here for more than a month, my body and mind have firmly memorized the timetable for commuting to and from work. I can wake up from my dream every time I go to work independently.

"Ning Ning, haven't you slept for a while?" Song Xiaoyun came out yawning.

“No.” Si Ningning shook her head, “I have a lot of free time in the afternoon, so if I’m sleepy, I’ll take a nap then.”

He raised the notebook in his hand and said, "I've already made the mosquito coils. Apart from the ratio, it doesn't require any technical content. I've written the ratio here, and I'll put it on my bedside from now on. You guys want to see for yourself take."

Song Xiaoyun nodded. Xu Shuhua glanced at the small black bump on the window sill and said, "This should be used at night, right? We have made quite a lot this time. Can we share some with the male educated youth next door?"

"I can do it. You can use it as you please, just make arrangements." Si Ningning replied with a smile.

"Li Lingyuan usually helps us a lot, so let's share it with them." Jiang Yue had her hair spread out while sleeping, and while talking, she tilted her head and braided her hair and walked towards Si Ningning, "Si Ningning, your note Show me first."

Si Ningning handed the book over, and Jiang Yue scanned it quickly with her eyelids raised, surprise flashing in her eyes: "In addition to mint, can you add tangerine peel?"

“It doesn’t have to be tangerine peel, orange peel that has been slightly dried to remove the moisture is also fine,” Si Ningning said.

Jiang Yue nodded, her eyes fixed on the words "Mosquito repellent is better" written behind the tangerine peel, and then she thanked her and returned the book to Si Ningning.

The group of people went to work after tinkering, and Si Ningning was the only one left in the educated youth spot. It really seemed that Si Ningning was a little leisurely.

He swept the areas in the house that needed to be swept and wiped the areas that needed to be mopped. There was some bamboo that had been cut down in front of Zhiqingdian’s door. Si Ningning took out the saw blade he had bought before, picked out a thicker piece of cat bamboo and started sawing it.

This bamboo has been cut for a month, and its green color has long since faded. Now it is either yellow or green, not very pretty, but it is still strong.

Si Ningning cut off a few sections of the bamboo tube, originally thinking about whether it could be used as a cup. However, she was not good at sawing, and the opening of the bamboo tube was either cut skewed or left a bunch of burrs, making it impossible to eat.

Si Ningning had no choice but to give up the idea and picked two bamboo tubes that didn't look that rough. She randomly made some breathable slits at the bottom, then filled them with a little bit of soil and transplanted the mint that was growing well near the well. Two of them were poured with root water, and a pot was placed on the window sill of a male and female educated youth.

Mint potted plants also have a certain mosquito repellent effect.

If you are really bitten by mosquitoes or insects, pinching a leaf and rubbing it can also relieve the pain.

If it weren’t for the lack of time and equipment now, Si Ningning would really like to try making essential oils.

Pity…

Si Ningning returned to the room where the female educated youth lived. She lowered the door bolt with her backhand and entered the space directly.

She went straight to the pile of materials piled up in the open space, fiddled with them for more than ten minutes, and finally found a dozen large boxes containing milk powder.

After removing the sealing tape, Si Ningning took two cans of milk powder and went straight to the living room. He cleaned the saw blade and turned out the sugar bag he bought before. He opened the tin cover of the milk powder and was about to start drying it. He slapped his forehead with a "tsk" sound.

No fire!

I want to find space to get a kerosene lamp, but I don’t know when I will go back to town next. If the kerosene runs out, the educated youth will really have to walk blind at night.

Si Ningning simply moved her things to the kitchen and planned to use the gas stove.

 She used a spoon to spread the milk powder into several brown sugar bags. One can of milk powder was 400G, and the spoon size was 3 grams. The brown sugar bag was not big, and three spoons of milk powder could fill the bag.

In other words, a small bag of milk powder weighs about 9 grams, and a can of milk powder can hold more than 40 bags. Si Ningning originally wanted to pack two buckets first, but when more than forty bags were placed in front of her eyes, she gave up the idea in an instant.

Ren Lao Ren picked up a bag of semi -finished milk powder. Si Ningning folded the saw chord on the bag, and folded the mouth of the bag slightly. Then he opened the gas stove to the minimum fire. He carefully put on the mouth of the saw -chore.

The sugar bag is made of plastic. The thin layer will soften and shrink after being baked for a while. During the shrinking process, it will wrap around the teeth of the saw blade. There is no need to wait too much in the process. If you remove the saw blade, you will get a swollen bag filled with milk powder. sealed bag.

This method was only used when I was a child. I saw it once at a friend's house in the village. Si Ningning didn't have much confidence, so she didn't dare to get too close. She only dared to keep the distance and use the temperature of the outer flame.

Through trial and error, Si Ningning gradually got started after burning the fourth bag and sprinkling a lot of milk powder.

It took half an hour to seal all the milk powder bags. Seeing that there was a lot left in the bag, Si Ningning followed the same pattern and filled some more brown sugar.

After finishing all her work, she found a foam box and packed bags of brown sugar and milk powder into boxes, ready to try the water next time she went to the black market.

However, Si Ningning was cautious and took out two packets of brown sugar and milk powder separately, planning to take them out when she got out of space later and keep them for daily drinking.

 I only ate two cucumbers in the morning and didn't have a meal at noon. At this point, Si Ningning was feeling a little hungry.

She was too lazy to cook complicated dishes, so she steamed rice in the rice cooker and went outside with the basin she usually used for washing vegetables.

In the past, a lot of purslane was transplanted into the space. Purslane is a type of pigweed, but people can also eat it.

Especially in the hot summer, blanch the purslane in hot water and then blanch it in cold water, add some minced garlic, sesame paste, some chicken essence and salt, and finally pour some sesame oil on it and mix it, the taste will be appetizing and delicious. Go to summer.

 Many high-end Chinese restaurants in later generations have this dish. Ordering a dish costs 70 to 80 yuan, and buying it alone in the fresh food section of a supermarket costs more than 10 yuan per pound.

Why are the prices so different? There are two reasons for this:

On the one hand, it’s because of the restaurant’s “noodles” gimmick, and on the other hand, it’s because the leaves of purslane are so many and finely divided that they trap dirt and are difficult to clean. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand.

But the purslane in Si Ningning’s space is different.

After all, the space is not like the outside world. Not to mention the wind, rain and dust, the plants seem to be growing in a sterile environment. The leaves of vegetables are spotless, and the skins of melons and fruits are even clean, with highlights visible.

Picked half a basin of purslane and put it in the faucet to soak. Si Ningning turned around to chop and mince the garlic, and then opened the box to look for sesame paste and sesame oil.

After a lot of fussing, when the cold purslane was served on the table, the rice cooker just made a soft beep.

Si Ningning filled a bowl of rice, closed his eyes and took a shallow breath, feeling the fragrance of rice filling his nose.

With this cold purslane, Si Ningning finished a bowl of rice. Her stomach was already full. Seeing that there was still some purslane left on the plate, she thought for a moment and filled up another half of the bowl of rice, adding the last bit of rice to it. Purslane liquidated.

My stomach is so full that I can’t stand on my feet, and there aren’t even a few grains of rice left in the rice cooker.

Si Ningning scraped off the remaining rice grains and carried the rice cooker pot to the backyard. She poured the scraped rice grains into the makeshift chicken coop.

When the two chickens saw her leaning forward, they scattered and fled. When Si Ningning took a step back and straightened up, they shook their little heads from side to side, blinked and came back to peck at the rice grains.

Make sure the chicken is still alive and in good condition, there is still rice scattered on the ground, and there is water in the bowl, then there is nothing to worry about.

Si Ningning withdrew to the front. After finishing the trivial matters in the space, she slowly picked out some small and inconspicuous things from the villa and the pile of supplies, intending to take them out of the space for daily use.

During this period, while looking through the small bag she usually carried before traveling, she accidentally found an Armani gold strap women's watch.

There are mobile phones and computers in the space, and you can check the time, but you cannot take these things out.

Si Ningning thought about it for a while, violently removed the watch strap, cut a piece of sweater thread and passed it through the hole of the watch strap. Finally, she tied the two ends with a knot, hung it around her neck and put the watch **** her chest.

When you go out and find a place to adjust the time, you won’t have to learn from the ancients to tell the time by looking at the “color of the sky”.

Si Ningning made another cup of brown sugar water and drank it before leaving the space with the things he had picked up.

 After locking the things into the rattan box standing on the inside of the bed, Si Ningning carried the bag of rice bran and headed towards the production team.

It was still early at this time, probably around two o'clock, and the time to feed the pigs in the afternoon was about 5:30 to 6 o'clock.

The reason why Si Ningning went out early was to clean up the pig pen thoroughly so that he wouldn't have to go back and clean it up again in the future.

In the morning, due to Sanya's presence, she couldn't use the space, but now it's different...

Si Ningning first went to the pig pen for a walk and looked around. There was no one around. She put the rice bran bag into the space, and took out the bucket from the space that she had bought when buying fish and shrimp. She carried the bucket and went straight to the alley. Go to the Zhou family over there.

The Zhou family is an adobe house with a stone courtyard wall, about eighty centimeters high. Standing outside the courtyard, you can see everything inside.

Even though the house is made of mud bricks, it is very clean everywhere. At first glance, it feels better than when I went to Mrs. Hu’s house before.

It’s not about the conditions. Even if we really talk about the conditions, can an adobe house be better than a blue brick house?

 What makes Si Ningning feel "good" is actually that the Zhou family feels more open and transparent visually.

Si Ningning stood at the door of the courtyard with a bucket and looked at her. Little did he know that a little girl with a short hair in the room was secretly looking at her through the gap in the window.

Zhou Xiaocui recognized Si Ningning as an educated youth in the team. She was not a shy girl, but she had never had any contact with these educated youth from the city.

Zhou Xiaocui once mentioned to her mother that her mother told her that people in the city were very particular and she was not allowed to get in front of the educated youth, let alone beg for things from the educated youth.

Zhou Xiaocui thought that the female educated youth was just passing by and would leave after just one glance. Unexpectedly, instead of leaving, she even knocked on the courtyard door, "Is anyone home?"

Educated youths speak differently from them. They speak pleasantly and have a pleasant voice.

Zhou Xiaocui took two steps back, hesitated for a long time and couldn't make up her mind, then turned around and went to the small room behind the main room, "Po..."

Grandma Zhou is blind and stays in the small house all year round. Usually her daughter-in-law comes back to take care of her after busy work and usually does not move out of the house.

After Zhou Xiaocui briefly explained the situation, Granny Zhou's weak and vicissitudes of voice soon came out: "I'm afraid if you need help with something, go and ask. If you can, I'll help. If you can't, come back and tell me."

"oh!"

Si Ningning waited outside the door for a while, thinking that there was no one at home, and was about to leave, when he saw a short-haired girl of seven or eight years old running out, "What do you want?"
