Chapter 661: Let me be a blabbermouth
When Zhang Yanping returned to the courtyard, he saw the group slowly loading the flour-coated soybeans onto the winnowing baskets.
That work wasn't tiring!
He hurriedly stepped forward to actively help, but was stopped by Until Wu Lan:
"Our hands are covered in flour, don't touch it."
Zhang Yanping actually had some interest, and at this moment, he had forgotten the shadow of the beans, asking curiously:
"Is this going to be piled together to ferment?"
Seventh Cousin shook his head: "No, it's to dry them, so they're easier to collect in the winnowing baskets at night."
They just needed to lift the winnowing baskets back to the warehouse.
"That's not right..." Zhang Yanping was puzzled: "How come what I saw online said to ferment it first, let it grow some yellow aspergillus or something?"
Wang Xiaoshun laughed:
Little Cat only then reacted, and looked at the time—
Huh?
Until Wu Lan then nodded calmly: "You take it secretly, I won't tell Mom."
He hurriedly rode his colorful little tricycle, Little Flower, and quickly went up the mountain.
Besides, working in the summer was quite miserable, and Zheng Qing had asked several people, but this work was the most satisfactory.
However, Wang Xiaoshun was a considerate person, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, we'll start making watermelon sauce tomorrow, you'll be able to learn it just right."
But then the other person said: "If you see that I work nimbly, I'll polish my skills more during this time, and ask Master Qian..."
Until Wu Lan often saw them colluding at night while practicing.
Some pounced left and right, some lay down with their butts stuck high in the air, swaying back and forth in an ambush, and some were the most active!
Zheng Qing's heart melted at the sound, and at this moment, she quietly made a request to Until Wu Lan: "Sister, I did a lot of work today, can I catch a kitten and bring it into the quilt tonight?"
But Little Cat didn't know.
One exterminating the clan, one raiding the house, the combination was exceptionally tacit.
When he came out again, he saw that in the cat nest in the corner, the little orange cat was nowhere to be seen, and several little orange cats had found two dried soybeans that had rolled to the ground from somewhere, pouncing and jumping, playing happily.
"It's not that I can't stand up, it's really... it's really that the man before me found me again!"
Wait until tomorrow.
Song Sancheng looked and couldn't help but frown: "I'll see if the carpenter is still at home tomorrow, and ask him to quickly build a few multi-layer shelves. It's not a solution to keep the winnowing baskets placed like this."
In a construction team, it's all men, so they can always tell what's good or bad, right?
Are soybeans that fun to play with too?
The cat had already been dewormed. As for the dust sticking to it, as long as Zheng Qing was willing to wash the four-piece set diligently, it was nothing.
He originally saw that the meowing one was so soft and milky, and wanted to lure it into the quilt, thinking it would definitely be very comfortable to sleep in his arms at night.
That remark startled Qiao Qiao.
It actually tentatively stretched out its claws to touch the fluffy grass, while meowing with a milky voice!
And the little kittens in the courtyard had lost their mother and were attracted by various movements outside, so isn't it very normal for them to meow at night?
Don't say it, that big orange cat really had some secret dealings with the squirrels.
However, because the mice and snakes on the mountain had their own consciousness to drive them away, the big orange cat didn't go to the fields to dig for field mice.
The person helping to work on the mountain was the young woman who came to apply for the job with Zhai Dae earlier—that's right, in the end, they chose her.
It wasn't even five o'clock in the afternoon yet, and walking on the ground in thin shoes would burn one's feet. The flour-coated soybeans were drying in the winnowing baskets, and by the time it got dark, one could clearly feel that the surface moisture was all gone.
But looking at this one sticking its butt out and pouncing on the foxtail grass, it also looked quite lively and cute!
Little Cat learned how to make sauce, but for a while, he only regretted not being able to teach the children—but Sister was right, they taught a lot of knowledge today, and their brains were slow, so they couldn't learn that much—
"You better think it through!"
Ho, how could she be so direct? Qiao Qiao hadn't even reacted. Although this Zhai Dafeng had indeed divorced early, didn't the other party still have a daughter? To find another man...
Until Seventh Cousin urged him: "Little Cat, are you still going up the mountain to help Master Qian!"
Zhang Yanping:... Let me be a blabbermouth! Let me be a blabbermouth!
She wanted to say something that went too deep too soon, but when it reached her lips, she felt it was inappropriate, so she could only say tactfully: "It's not convenient!"
The squirrels went to dig their holes...
So Little Cat thought for a while, then rushed out of the courtyard again and broke off a tall foxtail grass by the roadside.
And that one that jumped up and accidentally fell headfirst to the ground...
Zheng Qing was sincerely trying to persuade this time: "Your daughter is over ten years old. You find another man, you say this... this..."
"Sister, I actually want to find another man by coming here to work."
"I said she'll be in the second year of high school this year and will have the proficiency exam. Anyway, her grades aren't great, so she'll go out to find work after the exam. She'll come back for her diploma in the third year of high school."
Don't look at the rings, bracelets, and necklaces, she wasn't missing a single one, and she wore dresses and sandals and painted her eyebrows, but it didn't affect her efficiency at all!
He was just becoming increasingly conflicted—he really wanted to bring a cat back into the quilt, but... but which one should he choose! How could he tell the little kittens so they would know he wasn't catching them to hit them?
The group lifted the winnowing baskets in pairs into the warehouse. The large warehouse had no place to put them. They had to stack them wherever there was space, almost leaving no place to step.
"Ah, it's past five o'clock!"
Generally speaking, there was no problem.
Today was fermented bean sauce, tomorrow they were preparing to make fermented beans for watermelon sauce, and winnowing baskets were even more indispensable, so they really shouldn't have no place to put them.
Thinking about it, probably only Little Tian was truly easy to fool.
But he was an adult, would it be a bit too childish to play with soybeans with little kittens?
Now it was still in the healing stage, and tomorrow it could run and jump. After walking through the fields, if it looked cute, bring it back to bed too?
Little Cat was also bewildered.
The green foxtail grass wiggled in an S-shape on the cement floor, making a faint friction sound, attracting the little orange cats so much that they didn't even want the soybeans, instantly becoming excited!
But she always had some concerns in her heart, and the other party took the initiative to tell Qiao Qiao:
"What I said was for making watermelon sauce, it needs low humidity and needs to be fermented first. I see Master Song makes the fermented beans a bit drier, preparing to cover them with yellow mugwort, so those need to be dry beans."
Zhai Dafeng's eyes turned red: "Sister! I know what you mean, to tell you the truth, the one who told me to find another one is my daughter."
So he panicked too—yeah, which one should he choose?
He stared at it for a while, and couldn't help but want to play too.
Until Wu Lan was still urging it from the side: "Then you have to choose quickly, the little kittens are all so cute. If you only choose one, will the other little kittens be sad and upset?"
"But, there are five little kittens here, each one is so cute, which one are you going to bring?"
But today it was a cat, maybe it had already put Little Tian on the pillow... and there were five dogs in the corridor?
"Oh my, maybe they'll be sad and upset, and worried that the one you caught will be hit at night... they'll definitely meow in the middle of the night and won't be able to sleep."
Because people worked truly nimbly! ===== CHAPTER 662 =====
