Chapter 60 An Autumn Rain and a Cool

An autumn rain and a cooler one. With several autumn rains, the weather completely became cooler. At night, only the old north wind was whistling and the poplar trees in the yard were whistling. Liu Junhao didn't care at first, but he was still covered with a thin blanket when he was sleeping, but he could no longer bear it in the middle of the night. He had to pull the light into the house and carry a quilt to cover it on the bed before he felt warm.

When I woke up in the morning, I was flowing from my nostrils. It seemed that I had a cold last night. In fact, he deserved it. Since Professor Zhao advised him to cover him with a quilt more than ten days ago, he kept refusing.

It was just a small cold, and Liu Junhao didn't care much. He wore more clothes later and made a bowl of ginger soup to sweat. He had good physical fitness, so he didn't take this small cold seriously.

Open the door and fell on the ground outside the yard. The poplar leaves were scraped everywhere, and there was no place to settle down.

He picked up the rake and hugged it on the ground. The yard was relatively flat, so it was easy to sweep the broken branches and leaves into piles with rakes. When he was busy, he heard Xiaopi shouting in the backyard and seemed to have found something.

It wouldn't be a big animal that ran into his yard, otherwise Xiaopi wouldn't have screamed so loudly. Liu Junhao threw away the rake and ran to the backyard quickly. But he saw Xiaopi roaring at a gray-black foliage ball under the locust tree. It pulled it with its claws and moved a few steps away.

It turned out that I met a big hedgehog. No wonder Xiaopi shouted so happily. Even if it wanted to catch this thing, it had nowhere to slap it.

The hedgehog was rolled into a ball, and the gray and white thorns looked like a big pom pom from a distance. At this moment, it had dug a large soil pit under the acacia tree. From the new soil on the edge, it could be seen that it was dug just last night.

It seems that this hedgehog is planning to hibernate here, so don't disturb others' good sleep. He scolded Xiaopi and led it away, no longer caring about this little thing.

There are many hedgehogs in rural areas, especially in summer nights. You can often hear the rustling sounds on the roots of wheat straw. Most of the time, hedgehogs come out to find food. However, this thing is neither delicious nor can it be sold for money. People usually see it as if they don’t see it, and they will not take the initiative to touch it. Only children can keep it when they are fine.

Liu Junhao then went to the front yard to sweep the leaves and branches, and piled them all in the corner of the yard. It was not conspicuous at first, but it soon became a half-large pile of firewood.

Now that I’m fine, there’s no need to worry about firewood in winter.

Unexpectedly, in less than half an hour of labor, his nose was completely unblocked, but at this time he was hungry.

So Liu Junhao threw the rake, washed the handle, touched five or six eggs in the chicken coop, and then went to the backyard to pull two handfuls of garlic sprouts and green onions and spread the egg pancakes.

Rural people don’t buy a pancake specifically for pancakes, but they are spread out directly in a large pot, which can best show a person’s skills.

Liu Junhao's skills were not very good before, but in recent years, he lived alone and naturally practiced his cooking skills.

Beat the eggs into the bowl, add a little flour and mix well, then put the chopped scallion and garlic seedlings in and mix them all.

After the pan is heated, pour half a spoonful of sesame oil to lubricate the hot pan. Then scoop a spoonful of egg batter in the bowl and draw a circle on the edge of the pan. Use a spatula to flip back and forth several times. In less than two minutes, a browned pancake will be spread out.

Next, the pot was boiled completely, and Liu Junhao spread it faster. Basically, each piece was thirty or forty seconds, and the egg batter was completely spread out in less than ten minutes, and there were more than a dozen fragrant pancakes in the steamed bun. He brought a few pieces to Professor Zhao and his wife in a bowl, and then started eating them himself.

Although Liu Junhao repeatedly persuaded him a few days ago, Professor Zhao and his wife moved into their new homes. In fact, it is the same whether they move or not. The two families are next to each other. If there is anything, just greet them across the wall.

The pancakes that Liu Junhao spread out were very thin, browned and browned. They were served with coriander and sesame salt, and they took them down in one bite... The scent of onions, garlic, sesame fragrance penetrated into his mouth, making people smack their lips.

As a result, in less than twenty minutes, he ate half a bowl of pancakes, threw the bowls and chopsticks into the pot, and he pulled two chairs with satisfaction, took a pot of hot tea, and sat under the eaves of the wind to bask in the sun.

Although the sun is several feet high now, it is not vicious at all. It is warm when shining on people. It is the most pleasant to bask in the sun here after drinking and eating.

After a few minutes, Professor Zhao also had a meal and walked into the yard leisurely with his hands on his back. Seeing that the chessboard next to Liu Junhao had been arranged, he didn't say much and started the war directly.

So the old and the young started to fight in the yard. Liu Junhao's chess power has increased significantly during this period. Now, if he is serious about playing chess with Professor Zhao, he can usually win two games in three games.

However, playing chess means spending time and making it a happy time. He only occasionally puts a handful of water to make the two wins basically the same number.

Their chess game was very slow, and it took almost two hours to finish the game. When Professor Zhao was about to play the chess again, he was stopped by Liu Junhao. He looked at the time and said, "I'll be here today. I'm going to Liu Qiyong's house to send eggs. The mother asked me to save it a few days ago."

He made a big bamboo basket from the house, put some wheat straw in it, and then put the eggs inside, and put a hundred eggs in half of the bamboo basket. Liu Junhao thought about it and added seven or eight more to it, which was a fraction of the money. He didn't need money when he sent it there later.

Liu Qiyong and his wife were watching TV at home, so they were naturally very enthusiastic when they saw him coming in. Liu Qiyong asked about the number of eggs, and without even checking, he paid him 45 yuan. He knew that one of the eggs in Liu Junhao's family was five cents more expensive than other people's. Liu Qiyong didn't think it was a loss. He just looked at the eggs and knew that they were all big, almost as big as the duck eggs.

However, Liu Junhao only collected forty yuan, saying that they were all from the same village, and the eggs were calculated at 40 cents per. After the eggs were put, he did not keep too much, and he left as soon as he took the bamboo basket.

"So, you don't count. What if there is less?" As soon as Liu Junhao walked out the door, Liu Qiyong's wife scolded her on the bed.

"What are you counting? I don't even see five dollars. I will lose a few eggs. I really have long hair and short knowledge." Liu Qiyong gave a few impatient lessons. This wife is good at everything and knows how to manage the family, but she is a little shrewd and stingy.
