Chapter 86 Further Contact

"Mu Xiu's craftsmanship is really good." Chen Xuhui took the meal handed over by Zhou Shuilian, praised her, and then lowered her head and started eating.

"It's not that I'm boasting that everything my family's show is delicious, and it's the same ingredients, but the taste she makes is different." Zhou Shuilian has long been used to eating the dishes made by Mu Xiu, and she is not as amazing as others.

Mu Xiu smiled. The seasonings she made were first-class, not to mention that she added a lot of oil. These people usually eat less oil and meat. No matter who would make these dishes, as long as they were all seasonings, they would be delicious.

Chen Xuhui put down his bowl and he was full. Seeing that he had finished eating, Zhou Shuilian stood up and started to tidy up.

"Aunt Lian, Mu Xiu, Miss Xiaocao, it's getting late, I have to leave, thank you for your hospitality." Chen Xuhui stood up, thanked him while going to the corner of the wall to pick up his backpack, and walked into the yard.

"I'll give you a gift." Mu Xiu followed.

"No, no, winter is coming soon, and there is nothing on the mountain. If you want to go to the mountain and don't go alone, you can go to your family's Responsible Field to find me. I will go and see it every evening." Chen Xuhui said uncomfortable. He hasn't had such close contact with people for too long. He has been lonely for too long. Now someone is willing to dislike him, and he can't help but talk a little more.

"Brother Chen, it's so late this day. You go home and have a good rest. I'll go find you around 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, so let's water it together." Mu Xiu thought of fertilizing the field tomorrow, and just saw if Chen Xuhui's field needed help.

"I'm fine myself, you don't have to go." Chen Xuhui said that watering was just a reason to pull it out tonight, and he didn't want her to help.

The weather in Yingwu Village is relatively dry. After planting winter wheat, you need to water two layers of water before the New Year. One is the 7 to 10 days of the surfing water after planting, and the other is the overwintering water at the end of November. After watering, the rest of the time is enough to go to the field to pursue top dressing.

Mu Xiu thought Chen Xuhui was embarrassed, so she said in an undeniable tone: "Then let me say that, see you tomorrow." After that, he closed the door. Chen Xuhui sighed, it seemed that he was about to get up early tomorrow.

After Mu Xiu closed the door and entered the house, he saw Mu Xiaocao rinsing the plate of serving vegetables for the evening with hot water, and then put the rinsed hot water in a pot.

"Sister? What are you doing?" Mu Xiu asked strangely.

"Look at how thick the oil on this plate is. Keep the oil flowers and cook noodles for the next meal." Mu Xiaocao said with some pain.

Mu Xiu: "..."

"Sister, don't worry, our family is about to raise pigs. After I get the kimchi ready and go to sell it for money, I buy more oil and get back, and my life will get better and better in the future."

"Then it will be in the future. I still have no money now, so it's better to save some money." Mu Xiaocao also knew that in a few years, the food coupons would be cancelled, and all kinds of things that are difficult to buy now can be easily bought, but that will be several years later. Nowadays, life still needs to be carefully calculated.

Mu Xiu was speechless for a moment. She made up her mind to make life prosperous, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable to be so stingy.

After Mu Xiu came here, he found that everyone knew the time they knew from the village radio. The loudspeakers hanging on the trees at the village were reported once every time during the broadcast at 8:00 noon and 6:00 pm. The other time was only estimated by everyone. This day without knowing the time also brought many inconveniences to people.

But there is nothing we can do. The price of a watch is only 100 or 200 yuan, and you still need to use a special ticket to be qualified to buy it. This is a luxury product of this era...

Although there are watches in Muxiu Space, she cannot take them out and use them. Fortunately, her previous science course knowledge has not been lost.

Before the invention of mechanical clocks, the ancients could determine the movement of the sun by measuring the changes in the shadows of the same object through different time periods of the day and different angles of the shadows projected by objects on the ground under the sun, thus obtaining accurate time. This instrument was called a sundial.

To make a real sundial, you must understand the knowledge of astronomy, but... Mu Xiu has the assistance of space watches, so it is very simple and easy to make.

In the open space in the yard, she placed the large plate of the stone mill where the solar energy was exposed to the sun all day. In the round hole in the middle of the stone mill, a thick bamboo pole was inserted. The bamboo pole would cast a shadow on the stone mill. The position of each shadow changed with time. She looked at the watch and used a marker to draw a marker whenever it was right. For example, the watch showed 9 am at this time, and then Mu Xiu drew a marker on the position of the shadow and wrote 9  .

After a few days, Mu Xiu completed all the marks and could use it instead of watch timing in the future. However, if it weren't for the watch, Mu Xiu wouldn't be able to make this thing in his life...

Under Mu Xiu's guidance, Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiaocao would look at this sundial. Zhou Shuilian only praised Mu Xiu for being so powerful. As for how he could do it, Mu Xiu pushed it on Lu Yuan and said that he taught him when he was chatting in the hospital.

Zhou Shuilian admired the college students even more. She said that scholars are different, they know everything, and they know everything. Mu Xiaocao hugged Li Pandi and made up her mind to let her study.

The next day at dawn, Mu Xiu got up and prepared breakfast. After eating, he did not forget to put two corn buns in a bowl, put them in a basket, picked up a shoulder pole and a bucket, explained it to Zhou Shuilian, and rushed to the field of responsibility.

Before I could get to the field, I saw a figure busy from afar. Mu Xiu didn't need to guess, and I knew that it must be Chen Xuhui. When I got closer, I found it was him.

"Brother Chen, have you had dinner when you get up so early?" Mu Xiu said hello.

"When I finish my work, I will go back and eat." Chen Xuhui didn't expect Mu Xiu to come so early. He had just arrived and before he could water it, he saw some weeds growing in the field. He pursed his sleeves and pulled up the weeds first.

"I brought you two steamed buns and eat them while they are hot. Come on, I will carry water and wash my hands first." On the way to Mu Xiulai, she passed by the well. Because she was weak, she only carried two halves of buckets of water. Now she put it on the ridge of the fields. She took out a gourd ladle and scooped a ladle of clean water.

Chen Xuhui stopped his work, walked to Mu Xiu, washed his hands quickly, picked up the corn steamed buns brought by Mu Xiu and started eating. After taking a bite, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. The corn steamed buns felt different from what they usually eat. They didn't have a special throat and were very delicate in their mouths.
