She was stunned for a few seconds, and then said helplessly, "Oh, then just think about it, you can think about it for as long as you want..."
Being willing to consider it means that his attitude has begun to soften. No matter what, it is much better than a firm refusal, right
"But can you get up?"
Yun Xi gave him a gentle push on the chest. He had just returned from the production team and hadn't eaten yet.
Oh, I haven’t washed up yet, and my body exudes a faint smell of earth.
Her hands were soft and warm, and the skin contact brought an extremely strange touch. Ding Ye froze for an instant, and the nerves in his body tensed. The next moment, as if he had been stabbed, he quickly jumped up and got out of bed. , far away from Yunxi.
In the darkness, he clenched his fists, then turned around and quickly retreated, his staggering steps giving him the feeling of running away.
Ah…
Yun Xi curled her lips, slowly sat up, and looked at the direction he left.
…
Ding Ye was indifferent by nature, so after exiting the room, he had calmed down. He pursed his lips, filled a basin of cold water, and took it to the stone table in the yard to wash up.
After he finished washing, he went to the kitchen again.
A few years ago, my father offended someone, and my mother was greatly irritated. She became seriously ill and bedridden, and passed away not long after.
After that, Ding Ye was the only one left in the originally sparse Ding family. Therefore, no one in the family cooked for him. No matter how late he worked in the team, he had to cook for himself after returning home. Only by doing it can you fill your stomach.
In this era, there was no electricity or gas. Fire was used for cooking, and the fuel was firewood or coal.
Ding stayed in the dark at night to put hay for igniting the fire in the stove and lit it with matches. It was raining outside today and the pressure at the chimney outlet was too high. The smoke could not escape and all came out along the stove.
In a short time, the kitchen was filled with smoke, which made Ding Ye's eyes hurt.
He narrowed his eyes to a thin slit, then picked up the tattered cattail leaf fan at his feet and started fanning it towards the stove.
The fan can reduce the pressure at the air outlet, and some smoke is blown out of the chimney, and the air in the kitchen gradually improves.
After the firewood in the stove was almost burned out, Ding Ye added charcoal to it. The charcoal was not as easy to ignite as firewood and was easily extinguished.
If it was extinguished, all his time and the firewood would be wasted, so Ding Ye watched it carefully.
After the charcoal was completely ignited, he put down the fan and stood up to start cooking.
The water in the pot has boiled, and Ding Ye scooped up a bowl of bran as a habit and prepared to pour it in. Rural people eat very simply, as long as they can fill their stomachs, they don't pay attention to any tricks.
Of course, even if you want to be particular, you don't have the conditions.
In this era of scarcity, there was very little food. The villagers worked from dawn to dusk every day to earn work points, but after working all year round, they could not get much food at all.
With more people and less land, coupled with natural disasters, etc., the village's food harvest is very poor. If the harvest is not good, how can the villagers get enough food
It is obviously impossible to survive on food.
Therefore, the villagers mixed everything they could eat with the grain and barely managed to survive.
For example, various cereals such as chaff, rice husks, wheat straw, corn cobs, sweet potato leaves, wild vegetables, wild fruits, etc...
Most of these things are for daily consumption. On the other hand, the grains originally used for food are rarely eaten. Villagers mostly exchange grains for money, cloth and other daily necessities.
Or, during major festivals, a family will only have such a luxury.
As for the oil used for cooking, it is even more precious. Therefore, most of the villagers cook and eat it. If someone eats a meal of cooking, it will arouse the envy of all the villagers in the whole village.
Just as Ding Ye was about to pour the chaff in, he suddenly thought of Yun Xi in the room and stopped subconsciously.
He pursed his lips, turned around, poured back the chaff in the bowl, and scooped some grains into a broken jar.
The miscellaneous grains included millet, broken rice, corn kernels, sorghum kernels, etc. They were the grains he received last year. He mixed all the types together.
It's only early spring this year, so the seeds haven't been planted yet, so it's still very early to distribute the grain.
As soon as Ding Ye put the food in, he heard footsteps. Then, the people in the kitchen were pushed away, and Yun Xi walked in, holding a bright object in his hand, which instantly illuminated the entire kitchen.
"Why don't you light the lamp?"
There is no electricity, but there are kerosene lamps or candles, which are used for lighting.
Working in the dark like this, Yun Xi was really worried that he would encounter her.
"There were no candles in the house and no kerosene."
He was the only one at home, and his eyesight was very good. At night, as long as he couldn't see his fingers, it would hardly affect him, so he didn't prepare those things.
Ding Ye said lightly, his eyes fell on the bright ball in her hand, which was a little strange.
What was this? It was brighter than a kerosene lamp. He had never seen it before.
Yun Xi obviously didn't expect that he didn't even have kerosene, so forget the candles. After all, in this era, candles were rare and expensive.
But is it really okay not to even prepare kerosene
This guy is simply a standard bachelor, and only a bachelor can live such a rough life.
"what is this?"
Ding Ye endured it, but still couldn't resist his thirst for knowledge.
Hearing his words, Yun Xi followed his gaze and looked at the bead in his hand, which was the crystal of a divine beast in the God Realm.
This kind of mythical beast emits light all over its body, just like a light source, so it is called a light beast.
The beast crystal of the light beast is called a light pearl. During the day, it looks like a glass ball, but at night, it emits bright light, which is many times brighter than the night pearl.
She saw that the beads were pretty, so she collected a few. Unexpectedly, they would come in handy now.
"This is the Night Pearl. Do you like it? I'll give it to you?"
Yun Xi curled her lower lip and handed the light bead in her hand to him.
In fact, the light pearl is countless times more valuable than the luminous pearl, because the light pearl is a divine beast, containing divinity and is of great benefit to mortals.
Mortals who are exposed to light beads for a long time can strengthen their health and be immune to all evil spirits.
Night Pearl
Isn't this a legendary treasure
Even though he was as calm as Ding Ye, he was shocked in his heart. He never expected that he would be able to see the Night Pearl in his lifetime.
"No, it's too valuable. I don't want it. You'd better keep it yourself."
Ding Ye did not reach out to pick it up. Instead, he took a step back. After a pause, he suddenly said, "There are many thieves in the village. You'd better not carry such valuable things with you, otherwise you might lose them."
Repeat for the next one, don’t order it, come and swipe it tomorrow morning
