This was undoubtedly a move that would benefit a hundred generations. Province X had abundant underground water and many forests. If they could open up paddy fields halfway up the mountain, the trees at the top of the mountain could conserve water.
Once they connected the canals and opened up paddy fields, they wouldn't have to rely on manpower for irrigation in the future.
Therefore, Zhao Lanxiang and the other educated youths were forced to work hard again.
Although they didn't need to do any heavy work, they couldn't escape the misfortune of having to work.
She had the leisure to think about other things.
She had no time to think about other things.
...
Three days had passed since Liang Tiezhu said that he would carry food for Zhao Lanxiang.
The sky wasn't bright yet.
He rode his Golden Deer Brand bicycle to the He Family.
Zhao Lanxiang was still asleep.
She was woken up by the diligent Tiezhu.
Tiezhu was panting.
He took a bag of flour from the back of his "Big Golden Deer".
He took out a bag of wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and other dry goods. Finally, he took out a bag of sticky glutinous rice. The sleepy Zhao Lanxiang immediately perked up.
She quickly took out the thermos and poured a bowl of warm water for him to drink.
Tiezhu gulped it down. Zhao Lanxiang said, "There's no hurry. I'll make breakfast soon. My movements are very nimble.
We'll be able to eat in a while. "
Although Tiezhu woke up early, it was hard and tiring to work in their line of work.
He didn't have time to eat breakfast. He was used to delivering the "goods" to the customers before dawn.
He had never eaten breakfast in three years.
However, Zhao Lanxiang's cooking was very good.
Everything was delicious. She asked him to stay for breakfast. Tiezhu couldn't ask for more. He nodded fiercely. Suddenly, he realized that it was still far from dawn. It wasn't time for breakfast.
Zhao Zhiqing was just as Brother Bai had said. He was kind-hearted.
Liang Tiezhu had been selling grain for so many years, but no customer had asked him to stay for breakfast. They couldn't wait for him to immediately disappear after handing over the grain. They were afraid that the transaction just now would be discovered.
Zhao Lanxiang quickly went to the woodshed to make breakfast. There was no more meat in the house, and she was too lazy to go to the store to buy meat to eat. She looked at the bag of dry goods Liang Tiezhu had brought over and turned to Tiezhu.
"How about the Vegetable Potstickers?"
At this moment, Liang Tiezhu had already woken up He Songbai. He walked to the door and asked curiously, "Vegetarian dumplings?"
Zhao Lanxiang smiled and said, "Don't look down on it because it's vegetarian. Vegetarian pot dumplings are delicious. It tastes better than eating meat. You, you … wait a minute."
As she spoke, she realized that He Songbai had also arrived. She did not know when he had arrived, but he silently moved a small stool over and squatted in front of the woodshed.
His face was full of sleepiness, and he leaned against the wall with a chicken coop on his head and yawned quietly. His squinted eyes only revealed a slit, and a small light flowed out of his dark eyes.
Liang Tiezhu shyly scratched his head. After all, they were a man and a woman, so he had to be careful. So he also woke up Brouther Bo.
Zhao Lanxiang turned around and kneaded the dough. The name of the Vegetable Potstickers did not live up to its name. When people heard it, they would think of the burnt rice crust.
In fact, the Vegetable Potstickers were a kind of fried, crispy, and fragrant dumplings. They were crispy, soft, and delicious with rich soup. The taste was much better than eating dumplings, but it was also much more troublesome to make.
The Vegetable Potstickers had to be soft and tender, and at the same time, it had to be able to wrap the stuffing. This required that the skin was soft enough and tough enough. If it was too soft, it would not be able to wrap the stuffing, and the skin would break easily. If it was too hard, it would not have the wonderful soft and crispy experience. So Zhao Lanxiang kneaded two lumps of dough, one with hot water and the other with cold water. The hot water was soft, and the cold water was tough. Finally, they were kneaded together.
She wrapped the big dumplings and fried them in the pot until they were golden. While frying, she poured egg liquid over them and brushed them with lard. Wood ears, mountain mushrooms, tofu skin, and bamboo shoots were kneaded into the stuffing, interweaving into an incredible combination. All kinds of delicacies were immersed in the lard soup, and it was very fresh and fragrant.
The fragrance of the lard mixed with the fragrance of the Vegetable Potstickers overflowed, and the two men guarding outside the woodshed became alert. Tiezhu swallowed his saliva in anticipation. It smelled so good, so it must be delicious.
Zhao Lanxiang took out the steaming hot Vegetable Potstickers. Each of them had three, and one was enough for her to eat.
Liang Tiezhu took a bite. It was soft and crispy, fried until it was tender on the inside, and tasted great. He took another bite, and the rich and delicious vegetable juice wrapped in the pot sticker flowed out, bringing with it a variety of delicacies, fragrant, and salty flavors. It was hot and hot, making Tie Zhu gasp for air. It was so delicious. The skin was fried until it was soft and tender, and he could not help but close his eyes. Even the slight sting of being scalded became enjoyable.
It was so delicious that he could not wait to swallow it whole, but he could not bear to wolf it down. In the end, he obediently tasted it mouthful by mouthful.
He Songbai also narrowed his eyes in enjoyment and slowly finished three Vegetable Potstickers.
Zhao Lanxiang went back to her room and took out ten yuan and gave it to Liang Tiezhu. Tiezhu gave her three yuan and sixty cents. With a full stomach, he rode away on his big golden deer with a satisfied face.
At dawn, Zhao Lanxiang ate her fill and went back to her room to rest for a while. Soon, she threw herself into the intense work.
In addition to the participation of the villagers, the government also hired an engineering team to dig ditches.
Everyone was full of energy. After all, they were very curious about this method of irrigating the paddy fields from top to bottom. When they heard the foreigners mention it, their faces were full of confusion and envy! When it was time to work, some people who were used to being lazy did not dare to be presumptuous.
Zhao Lanxiang saw that Jiang Li was also more diligent for the first time. He was not as lazy and delicate as usual. Zhao Lanxiang felt that Jiang Li was not the kind of person who was easily influenced by the people around him. When she carried the broken stones down, she saw a group of people who looked like they were working, and she understood.
Although Zhao Lanxiang came to work after eating breakfast, she was not strong enough. After working for half a day, she could not stand it anymore. Every step she took was as heavy as carrying a mountain. She walked and walked, and suddenly she could not walk anymore. The small cart, which was only filled with a little bit of broken stones, slid down with her.
A strong hand firmly held the cart from behind. Zhao Lanxiang turned around to look. It was Sister He.
She smiled and touched Zhao Lanxiang's head. Her hands moved the cart to the pile of broken stones. She gestured and said, "You're tired. Go rest."
"I'll help you."
Zhao Lanxiang did not force herself. She took a water bottle and replenished her water and salt. She turned her head and saw that Jiang Li was still working. She held her head and dug the soil bit by bit. She was wearing a light red short-sleeved shirt that was wet with sweat. A layer of white salt stains came off.
Zhao Lanxiang had a new level of respect for her.
However, the slap in the face came quickly. At noon, after everyone finished their work, they gathered together to eat the bento they brought from home. Zhou Jiazhen sat on a rock under a tree and enjoyed the cool mountain breeze. He ate and whispered in Zhao Lanxiang's ear.
"Lanxiang, why didn't you perform well just now?"
Zhao Lanxiang's chewing movement was a little slow. She asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Jiazhen knocked her head in disappointment and asked, "Didn't you go to the countryside because of that?"
Zhao Lanxiang, who felt guilty, heard this and her heart skipped a beat. Was her performance that obvious? When she was working just now, she clearly did not look at He Songbai much.
However, when she connected the dots, Zhou Jiazhen did not seem to have found out that she wanted to get close to He Songbai. Why would she need to "perform well" to get close to He Songbai? So she asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Jiazhen thought she was still playing dumb and said angrily, "Of course it's to elect the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers College Students."
She looked at Zhao Lanxiang as if she was looking at a stupid girl who had no ambition. She tapped her forehead and said with heartache, "Why did you rest when everyone was working? I just went down to take out the stones and didn't watch you work. You are so wet … Sigh. "
She looked at Zhao Zhiqing's gaze and was speechless for the first time. However, the satisfaction that the food gave her made her feel like she would die with no regrets.
Zhao Lanxiang looked at Sister He's empty bowl with a smile and was very satisfied.
From a certain point of view, Sister He and Ling Tianyi were both her benefactors. When she was hurt physically and mentally by Jiang Jianjun, she decisively proposed a divorce and exposed the scandal of his infidelity to his superiors. Divorce was tantamount to a scandal for Jiang Jianjun's thriving career. How could he let her go so easily?
At that time, Zhao Lanxiang was like a stray dog, living in fear all day long. In the end, it was the He siblings who helped her out and taught the scumbag a lesson.
Zhao Lanxiang pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Grandma hasn't eaten yet. Sister, quickly get a bowl for her."
