Chapter 80: Cloud Shadow in October 1996
Cloud Shadow in October 1996
This time, the cargo was too much to fit in the basement alone. Many of the cargo had to be placed outside the basement and covered with a rain-proof cloth.
I had to carry a whole truckload of things by myself. My parents were very worried, for fear that I would be tired or injured.
But I told them not to care, time is completely still when the stone gate is opened, I can slowly move the ants, even if I move to the end of the world, it is only a momentary thing in reality.
At the end of the month, the quaint stone gate opened in the yard, and the world became pure gray and white. I moved my muscles and pushed the cart to start my "work".
In fact, it is not troublesome. I can control the vegetable and rice of about 60 to 70 catties to fly up and lie down in the trolley by myself. A bag of 100 catties like a salt bag is also fine. There is no difference between stones. The upper limit of my control of stones is currently about 200 kilograms. If I pay attention and use gestures, I can make two bags of coarse salt fly at the same time.
Boxes of daily necessities were first transported, followed by clothes, shoes and socks. The quantity of these goods is quite considerable. Although the quality is much worse than the ones I use every day, they are better than those of the "savages" in Shanghe Village. The craftsmanship is a million times better.
Vegetables are carried at the end, and I don’t seem to feel tired or hungry in the still time. I can’t feel the passage of time. I just carry and unload the goods by car, and I don’t reach out until the last wave of things are stored. Wiping the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, let the stone door close.
Early the next morning, the piles of things in front of my house were covered with tarpaulins, which surprised many village names. I let Ah Fu and Ana patrol outside. I called the villagers and told them that they didn’t need to build walls today, and they had to do their best. Cooperate with me to make pickles.
I brought a whole ten tons of Chinese cabbage, as well as a ton of white radish and potatoes. These vegetables died after crossing the Shimen. Vegetables without plastic wrap cannot be stored for a long time.
In previous winters, my family would also buy Chinese cabbage to make some sauerkraut. I have participated in the process of making sauerkraut. I think the flora in this world should not be too different from the other world, and sauerkraut should also be made successfully.
You can't make sauerkraut just by bringing Chinese cabbage. Among the supplies brought this time, there are two large iron pots that are only used for banquets in rural areas.
The weight of the big iron pot is amazing, and I can't move it without my ability. This iron pot can easily cook more than 50 kilograms of Chinese cabbage, and adults can sit in it and take a bath.
The Chinese cabbage should be washed off the sediment first, then put into a large pot to cook, then put in cold water to cool down, kneaded into a ball with hands, squeezed out excess water, stretched out, spread with salt, and put it in the pickles layer by layer. In the large vat used, finally press the pickle stone and cover it.
The water in the pickled cabbage will be precipitated in the later stage, and the sauerkraut must be soaked below the water surface, so the pressing stone is needed to prevent the sauerkraut from floating.
There will be no pottery jars in the village, but I am not slow at making large jars out of rocks. First, I build two stoves out of stones, and I use my superpowers to shape them into standard and sturdy stoves. After adding wood to the cauldron to make a fire and boiling water, the "big business" of making sauerkraut in Shanghe Village was in full swing.
No one in the village had ever seen so many vegetables. The chubby Chinese cabbage was so beautiful, it was fatter than any wild vegetable they had ever seen. The piles of Chinese cabbage were displayed there, and they were all dumbfounded.
It was a wise decision to make a canopy when it was overcast early in the morning. It started to rain before noon, but it did not affect our sauerkraut cooking.
The supports of the canopy are six tree trunks sunk into the ground. The top of the tree trunks is a thin shell dome made of rock, which is a bit like an egg. Seriously.
The water used is clear water that has been left in the water tower. The Chinese cabbage is briefly washed and then put into a boiling pot. It is carefully stirred with an iron fork. When it starts to become soft and rotten, it is fished out with an iron fork. .
Next to the iron pot is a rectangular stone trough filled with clean water. This stone trough is specially used to wash the hot Chinese cabbage to cool down the vegetable. The soft Chinese cabbage that has been further scrubbed is picked up and squeezed to squeeze out the excess water and knead it into a ball. It was placed on a smooth stone slab, waiting to be stretched out, mixed with salt layer by layer, and put into a stone jar.
This step of mixing salt is performed by villagers wearing rubber gloves. Although my parents said that no one used gloves to make pickles before, I still think it is better for them to wear gloves. Hygiene is one aspect, and the most important thing is Don't hurt your hands because of prolonged exposure to salt. Their hands are already rough because of the hard life. Because I save ten or twenty dollars and let a strong laborer's hand hurt, it's totally worth the loss.
The rain has been drifting, and the villagers under the canopy have their own divisions of labor and work in full swing.
The iron buckets, pans and stoves they use are from another world. If you don't look at the strange clothes on these people, as well as his face, it's hard to believe that this is in this world.
The process of making sauerkraut is not complicated. The first two times they asked me to help. The third and fourth tanks were more familiar to them. I only commanded from one side. Later, I didn’t even need to command, and only used to supervise some details. , and they do it more and more smoothly, and the speed is greatly accelerated.
Not all cabbage has to be made into sauerkraut. Today, everyone's lunch is stewed with potatoes and cabbage with white rice. The villagers devoured it so much that the children almost swallowed the crystal spoons.
There is not much meat in the village. The meat they eat is the pork I brought from the opposite world with Chinese cabbage. The fat and delicate taste and aroma are something they have never experienced before. Some old ladies cry when they eat it. , She said that if her son was still alive, he would be very happy to eat such a delicious meal.
The old lady's words made many people wipe their tears. Now, everything in Shanghe Village is something that everyone could not have imagined in their dreams. No one knew that the life of the ancestors for decades would undergo earth-shaking changes and become the present. so.
The two young people from our Luhe Village ran over halfway through the meal and knelt down and wanted to lick my shoes to express their gratitude. It was the time for the classic "grand gift" of our Luhe Village.
This is not the first time I have encountered it. I used to be disgusted and hated, then I resisted, and now I can't laugh or cry.
After being with them for a long time, they can understand their feelings to some extent. These stubborn mud legs only feel that this is the only way to express their infinite gratitude. They think this is a very noble etiquette, and they don't feel that there is any To trample myself, my rejection of them is a trampling on their beliefs.
I really wanted to reject them again, and even wanted to lecture them on concepts like human dignity, equality, freedom, and harmony, but I didn't want to ruin the meal, so I I wiped my shoes with a clean cloth, and then daringly asked them to perform the "Luhe Village Gift".
I really can't accept others kneeling on my knees, so I discussed with them whether they can do it on one knee, be more graceful.
It's enough to kneel on one knee, the knees are really...
I really don't know that there is a fixed standard posture and process for the "Ashura Grand Gift", but I am willing to cooperate with the two buddies. I have been overjoyed and said that I can accommodate me. feel.
I was too embarrassed to stand and let others kneel in front of me, so I made a small stone bench and sat down with my feet slightly stretched out awkwardly.
We were surrounded by people, and we came to watch the fun without eating, and we didn't say a word, no one laughed or whispered, and the whole scene was quite solemn.
When someone knelt in front of me on one knee, my mind was weird, and I felt in a trance that the man was about to propose to me with a ring out of his pocket.
His face flushed with excitement, and he shouted out things like thanking me for bringing peace and prosperity to Luhe Village, thanking me for saving his life, thanking me for bringing him to Shanghe Village, and living the way he is now, he said that he I swear to Lahu that I will not marry in this life, I will follow in the footsteps of Mr. Kain to the death, and be ready to sacrifice his life for Mr. Kain at any time, balabala...
After talking nonsense, this guy bowed his head, held my right foot and looked at it stupidly . In two or three seconds, I kissed my ankle without socks.
Brother, I'm sticking out my left foot, okay? And shouldn't you kiss your shoes? Why are you kissing my ankle, lame?
And who did you just swear to, bluff? You swear to a man-eating monster, is your fucking oath true? Not marrying for the rest of your life... Wouldn't it be a rhetoric?
That's it for the "Ashura Gift"? That's it? ?
I didn't have time to complain, this guy stepped back in the envious eyes of everyone, and the other guy blushed, "Plop!" He knelt down in front of me with both knees, and when he saw my surprised expression, he quickly got up and changed to one knee. The voice shouted similar words to the one just now. In addition to thanks, he also swore to the "drowned girl" that he would not marry in this life, and would follow Master Kain in the future, always ready to sacrifice his life for Master Kain.
It seems to be a cliché, hum. I sneered in my heart 'but that's it', then watched this guy carefully lift my right foot, looked at it, boldly took my socks off a bit, kissed the instep, and then stepped back in the eyes of everyone's envy .
I'm surprised, why do you look at him enviously? Is he a loser?
My "dogleg" Hussein was also in the crowd, and his expression of envy, jealousy and hatred was so vivid, as if he was about to fight the two buddies just now, and he almost made me laugh.
Turning my head again, I saw my son being held by little Lamy's hand and standing beside little Lamy's mother looking at me, and suddenly felt dizzy, why didn't I cover Wang Jerry's eyes just now.
What a bad example for him to see Dad doing such a strange thing in public.
The farce subsided, and I used a very serious expression to suppress the other bastards who were eager to try.
It's terrible, I hope this kind of thing will not happen again in the future. I really can't accept many customs here. I can't imagine the appearance of others kneeling and licking my shoes, and I can't accept that I will lick other people's shoes in the future. Shoes, whoever wants me to lick them, I'll kill him!
Recalling that when I first joined Luhe Village and saw someone kneeling down and licking the old man's tattered straw sandals because he saved his family, I almost vomited.
When I fucking take power and become the village chief, I'll be the first to abolish these bastard rules.
I didn't bring a lot of pork, and the rest wrapped in plastic wrap were my own stock, but I brought them five enamel pots of lard, which will be used for the wall builders this month. People use it for cooking. With lard, the taste will be much better when cooking Chinese cabbage, potatoes and ginseng potatoes. They can even use these two large iron pots to stir-fry vegetables.
In a remote area like Shanghe Village, the villagers have lived by eating ginseng, potatoes and wild vegetables for generations. They are very happy to eat meat occasionally. There is generally a lack of oil and water in their stomachs. The attractiveness of this fragrant pork is beyond everything. A few old men The starving ghosts were reincarnated as if they couldn't walk, and they shouted to me that they had fulfilled their greatest wish to live in the world in this life. I wanted them to die now, and they didn't blink.
"Why do I want you to die?" I didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Take a good rest, there is still a lot of work to do in the afternoon, and life will only be better in the future. Life is very precious, don't always think about dying.
" Another burst of emotion.
The "shoe licking game" has been stopped, and the old men can only say this to express themselves.
