Chapter 371
Chapter 371
Although Lin Lin didn't take going to the county seriously, she actually thought of going there.
Among them, although Lin Lin lacked everything, she just had no money.
When Lin Lin gave Yao Tian five yuan, she was still a little worried.
At this moment, her desire to make money was not so urgent.
╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭
After lunch, Yao Tian went to Tie Zhu with Lin Lin's purchase list. After explaining his intentions, Tie Zhu enthusiastically agreed to accompany Yao Tian to the county.
Tie Zhu hadn't had lunch yet, so he asked Yao Tian to wait for a while.It was impossible for Yao Tian to stay at Tie Zhu's house and wait for Tie Zhu to eat, so he found an excuse and left first.
He first went to Uncle Mu's house to buy a large box, and carried it to the female educated youth dormitory.
After seeing that the time was almost up, Yao Tian went to Tie Zhu's house again.He took turns riding a bicycle with Lin Lin and the three of them, the purchase order and Tie Zhu, and soon went to the county.
There was nothing else to do in the afternoon after Yao Tian left, so Lin Lin and the others decided to take a nap before getting up to do the rest of the chores.
Lying in her cubicle, Lin Lin was in a good mood.
New partitions, mats and boxes, except for the lack of a door curtain, Lin Lin thinks this place is much better than Uncle Liu's warehouse.
When cooking at noon, the kang was heated up.The room is warm, and the kang is also hot, and the kang where Lin Lin sleeps is also slightly warm. She can sleep beautifully after taking off her coat and covering her with a blanket or blanket.
Lin Lin took out from the space the small wooden sign that was engraved on the magic circle at some unknown time.
A quieting spell, a cleansing spell, a warming spell, and a strengthening spell.
Lin Lin has two partitions, one of which is placed against the wall.Lin Lin carefully hung the four small wooden signs on the side of the partition wall.
It was placed against the innermost corner, and her box was placed in front of the partition, which was concealed enough.Of course, even if it is seen by others, ordinary people should not be able to understand what is engraved on it.
With these small wooden signs, Lin Lin's sleep quality is higher than that of other people in the room.So Lin Lin slept until four o'clock in the afternoon.
After three o'clock, Xia Xiaoxue and Zhang Yue woke up.The two were woken up by the sound of the old educated youth eating.
Watching the old educated youth eating, the two discussed in a low voice and then put on their shoes and went out to pick up branches.
Seeing that Lin Lin was fast asleep, they didn't call her. They divided the work at lunch time, and Lin Lin only had to be in charge of making dinner.
But they need to pick up the firewood before Lin Lin makes dinner.
Neither of them had any experience in collecting firewood, and when they went out, they realized that the firewood they picked up could only be held by their arms.
Holding it like this can't hold much, and when it can't be held anymore, the two of them will come back to give firewood once.When the two came back, Lin Lin happened to wake up.
Seeing how the two of them 'know' how to work, they were speechless and black-lined.
No wonder the old educated youths avoid these new educated youths like snakes and scorpions.
Afraid to rely on them chant.
"I'll go out with you, pick up some fresh branches, and weave two baskets when I have nothing to do at night."
Hearing Lin Lin's words, Xia Xiaoxue asked in surprise, "Liu Xi, do you know how to weave baskets?"
What can Lin Lin say, that she has learned through many lifetimes?In the end, he had no choice but to nod and said, "Yes, yes."
"We in City B still allow fresh branches to be cut?"
The corner of Lin Lin's mouth twitched, and she changed the subject, "It's all about going to the countryside."
Hearing Lin Lin's answer, Xia Xiaoxue and Zhang Yue, as well as the old educated youth who were listening in the room, felt a little dark.
It turned out that when they came, they didn't make enough preparations.
For a while, Lin Lin went back to the house, took out a bundle of thick ropes from inside under the cover of the box, and followed the three of them to the foot of the mountain.
Cut the rope in two, leaving one section for Xia Xiaoxue and the other, and Lin Lin took the remaining section and went to the place where there were trees.
Rabbits are the fattest in autumn, and there are educated youths living at the foot of the mountain to the east. People in the village often don't come here when they go up the mountain.The hunting skills of the educated youths were not good enough to catch rabbits, so Lin Lin saw a pair of fat rabbits hiding in the grass just by pulling a branch under the tree.
Fat, the meat must be very tender.The furs were tidied up, and the two together could make a small waistcoat.
Swallowing, Lin Lin glanced at Xia Xiaoxue and Xia Xiaoxue who were not far away picking up dry firewood, quickly picked off two leaves, and shot at the two rabbits.
Opening a pair of big misty eyes, the rabbit died instantly.Lin Lin raised her feet and took the two rabbits into the space through the grass.
The situation is unclear, and Lin Lin is not ready to take out the two rabbits and stew them.
The three of Yao Tian, Xia Xiaoxue and Zhang Yue seem pretty good now, but they know people and know their faces but don't know their hearts, and the contact time is too short, and in this turbulent situation, Lin Lin is not willing to do things that are not sure.
In this era when you might be labeled as a capitalist roader if you catch your breath, such things as hunting and eating rabbit meat are too high-profile.
Taking the fat rabbit back into the space, Lin Lin returned to the tree and continued to pull the branches.After tearing off the branches with almost two or three baskets, Lin Lin tied them with ropes and carried them to the place where Xia Xiaoxue and the two were.
The three of them met, and each of them had a lot of dry and wet branches tied to their shoulders.Although I was a little tired along the way, it was close to home, and I returned to the educated youth spot after a while talking and laughing.
After picking it up and down twice, the three of them stopped.
There is a well in the courtyard of the educated youth spot, and it was because of this well that the educated youth spot was established here.
Put dry firewood in the kitchen, and fresh branches with some moisture in the yard.The three of them fetched water and washed their hands and faces before going back to the house.
Because there is no washbasin, what they wash and wash today is straight water.The so-called straight water means standing by the well and holding the public water ladle by the well while pouring and washing.
I don't know if Yao Tian can buy back the basin and other things, otherwise Lin Lin will have to ask Uncle Mu to make a wooden basin.
Xia Xiaoxue raised her wrist and glanced at her watch, and said to the two of them why Yao Tian hasn't come back yet.
Lin Lin didn't answer, but took out a dagger and a pair of gloves from the luggage.
Glancing at the dagger that was cut like mud, Lin Lin once again felt that this era really tested people's ability to bear it.
The deep internal force is used to powder salt, the dagger that cuts iron like mud to peel off branches, and she will use internal force to weave baskets in a while...
Involuntarily sighing in her heart, Lin Lin went to the kitchen.First, I took a look at the soaking degree of the big ballast soaked in the pot. When I saw that it was almost done, I added some firewood to the stove and started to burn it.
Big ballast is not easy to cook, so it needs to be cooked for a while.After lunch, Lin Lin gave out a bowl of cornmeal, and because she wanted to eat it at night, Lin Lin put the bowl of cornmeal on the kang.Turning around to take a look at the kang that belonged to Xia Xiaoxue, Lin Lin pressed the noodles with her fingers, and took the corn noodles to the kitchen.
When the big balls in the pot had boiled, Lin Lin turned the heat to low.
After turning the fire to low, Lin Lin had the time to deal with the branches that her son was still piling up in the yard.
He called Xia Xiaoxue and Zhang Yue, and asked them to squat in the yard to help them learn and play.Lin Lin and the others quickly took care of the branches separately.
Thick, thin, long, short.The leaves and everything were piled aside, and Lin Lin was going to let them dry naturally, and then burn them in the stove.
Afterwards, Lin Lin took out a few branches and quickly started weaving baskets in a certain regular way.
In the case of not requiring beauty, Lin Lin, a person who has practiced martial arts, naturally has better hand speed and strength than ordinary people.
In just over an hour, Lin Lin weaved a basket.Looking at the basket, both Xia Xiaoxue and Zhang Yue felt a sense of accomplishment.
When weaving the baskets, Lin Lin forgot to weave in the straps.If you don't weave it in when weaving, if you want to add a strap later, you have to use wire or something to reinforce it, otherwise it will be easy to fall off the basket.
Thinking of this, Lin Lin took a look at the rope she took out today, and then weaved two straps out of the rope.
Wider, the kind that doesn't squeeze the shoulders.
After a basket was finished, Lin Lin stood up and straightened her back, adding another handful of firewood to the stove.Finally, I tasted the big ballast porridge, thought for a while, and lit a big fire.
When the porridge in the pot was splashing again, Lin Lin squeezed out a piece of noodles in the basin, kneaded it in the palm of her hand, and slapped it on the side of the pot one by one.
Slapped a circle of corn flour cakes on the wall of the pot, Lin Lin covered the pot, sat by the pot and added some firewood from time to time, listened to the sound inside the pot, estimated the time, Lin Lin lifted the pot cover, carefully I picked up a piece of cornmeal pancake and tasted it in my mouth. It felt cooked, but I was a little unsure.Take it out with a shovel and give it to Xia Xiaoxue and Zhang Yue who are trying to weave baskets in the yard according to Lin Lin's operation just now.
After the two of them agreed that they were familiar with each other, Lin Lin took out all the pancakes from the pot, put them in the bowl that Uncle Mu sent over today, and finally put them on the pot lid.The bowl was covered with a piece of Lin Lin's unused handkerchief.
The corn tortillas were cooked, and the porridge in the pot was too soft, so Lin Lin turned off the fire and ignored it.
After leaving the kitchen, Lin Lin knelt down to weave baskets with Zhang Yue and Xia Xiaoxue.
This kind of hand-woven basket is very practical. The big one can be used to collect firewood, and it can be loaded for reuse.The small one can hold some odds and ends.
After Lin Lin weaved a larger back basket, she sat in the yard again, guiding Xia Xiaoxue and Zhang Yue, while weaving two smaller baskets.
These two small baskets made by Lin Lin are more like baskets than baskets, the rectangular ones.
Because cloth is a commodity in short supply, Lin Lin specially made a cover for the basket.
Using a dagger to remove the branches, leaves and bark from the Y-shaped branches obtained from the tree branches, Lin Lin cut them out according to the size of the edge of the pot. Lin Lin then wove an unattractive round curtain with fresh branches.
Boil water in the pot, put a Y-shaped branch on it, and put the curtain on it, and you can steam or heat food on it.
After a while, Xia Xiaoxue and Zhang Yue also made up an ugly and not very useful basket.
But for a novice on the road, it is not bad to have such a result.
Xia Xiaoxue was thinking about Yao Tian in her heart, even though she finished making her own basket, she started to make another basket, and planned to make another for Yao Tian.After all, Yao Tian will be responsible for collecting firewood in the future, how can he do without a basket.
Seeing Xia Xiaoxue like this, Lin Lin shook her head and smiled.
We only knew each other for two or three days.
No matter how much Lin Lin slanders, Xia Xiaoxue can just be happy on her own.
At seven o'clock, it was already dark.Lin Lin and the others also destroyed the wet branches they brought back.At this time, the three of them were a little hungry, but none of them asked to eat first.
Xia Xiaoxue stood up, put her feet on her feet and looked outside the courtyard.Seeing her like this, Lin Lin suggested to let her carry the basket to greet her.
When Xia Xiaoxue heard it, her eyes lit up.He didn't dare to leave just looking at the sky, so he begged Zhang Yue to go with her.
So the two went to the only road leading to the outside of the village with their own baskets on their backs.
In this day and age, if you talk to the opposite sex, if you are not careful, you will be labeled as a style problem.
The three of Lin Lin were weaving baskets in the yard, and the male educated youths next to them never left the house as long as they could.Even when they left the house, no one took the initiative to talk to Lin Lin and the others.
Of course, it may also be a fear of asking them to help with work.
As for the three female educated youths on Lin Lin's side, they watched it lively for a while at the beginning.But after a while, they all went back to the house and stayed.
The three of them sat there knitting sweaters all afternoon. Seeing the three of them like this, Lin Lin wondered if this was a popular activity.But wool and so on, how did they get so much?
Thinking that in the near future, she might also sit cross-legged on the kang like these old educated youths.While talking all over the place, while knitting a sweater, Lin Lin always felt a little bit of a play.
This is not the same as the ten years in her impression.
The three old educated youths in the room didn't look like too generous people, and the three of them obviously didn't like the attitude of the newcomers very much. Lin Lin glanced at the oil lamp in the room, took a piece of cloth and needlework from her box off to the kitchen.
The author has something to say: In fact, weaving a basket is really not that fast.
Thanks to the fantasy-loving sheep for throwing the grenade, thank you~
