- Gao Yang, Yaya and Sizi were staring at Li Feng with their eyes wide open at this moment. Both his eyes and his face were full of intense curiosity.
However, at this moment, Li Feng didn't pay attention to these at all. Instead, he was concentrating on fiddling with the work in his hands. His movements were so careful and gentle, and his expression was so focused.
A closer look revealed that Li Feng was actually playing with mud. Haha, of course, this statement is wrong. To be precise, Li Feng is using pieces of soil to pile something up. It looks a bit like he is building a small house, and another one is using three larger pieces of soil. The doorway is made of blocks.
When Li Feng used soil blocks to build the mud wall, it did not go vertically upwards, but slightly tilted inward. As the mud wall piled higher and higher, the remaining openings on it became smaller and smaller. As he reached the top, Li Feng's movements became more gentle and careful. Every piece of soil was placed carefully and gently. Sometimes, he stretched out the fingers of his left hand and gently supported it.
Li Feng¡¯s movements were cautious, and Gao Yang, Yaya and Sizi on the side were also nervous. Especially Xiao Sizi, who stared at Li Feng's every move with her beautiful big eyes, and then stretched out her little hand to cover her little mouth. It seemed that he was afraid that he would make a sound and scare Li Feng, or that he would blow his breath and blow the small house down. All in all, that expression is downright adorable.
Time seemed to pass very slowly in the silent waiting, but it did not stop after all. As time passed, Li Feng's expression became even more focused. Because, at this time, there is only a small opening left at the top of the small house-like building.
Li Feng took a piece of soil that was about the same size as the small opening and had a sharp point. He gently placed it into the small opening and it got stuck. Then he gently let go of his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, I'm so unfamiliar. It took me so long. If I were a child, it would be done in minutes. But fortunately, I succeeded once and didn't collapse. Otherwise, it would be a big loss."
Seeing that it was done, Li Feng actually felt a sense of accomplishment. However, he also felt a deep sense of loss and was a little dissatisfied with himself.
"Haha, that's great. It didn't fail. It really didn't fail. Brother, you are so awesome. However, this little house is so strange. It is so small. Moreover, it only has a door opening and no door, but it is really quite good. It¡¯s beautiful. By the way, big brother, what are you using this for?¡±
Seeing this strange little house in front of me, it was successfully completed. Gao Yang and Yaya also showed a look of relief and excitement on their faces. However, then they all became curious.
"Yes, Fourth Uncle, what are you doing? This looks a bit like a tent. Yes, it is really similar to the tents that people on the grassland live in. But, look It looks pretty and small. It¡¯s really fun. But uncle, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s delicious?¡±
Gao Yang on the side was immediately very interested when he saw the thing in front of him. The fun is there, but where is the delicious food?
"It's delicious, but we'll have to wait for a while. Come on, let's go pick up some dry firewood, but I only want those dead branches, not the ones that are too big."
Li Feng deliberately avoided answering Gao Yang and the others' curiosity. Then, he led them to look for dead branches with small roots. Although Gao Yang and the others were curious, they had nothing to do unless Li Feng said anything, so they followed Li Feng and started looking for dry firewood everywhere.
"Okay, that should be enough, no need to look for it anymore."
It was very simple to find these dead branches and leaves. It didn¡¯t take long before I found a lot of them and piled them aside. Gao Yang and the others then began to wait for Li Feng's next move. However, when it comes to gathering firewood, there is no doubt that you have to make a fire.
In fact, it was exactly like this, and Li Feng soon became angry. However, Li Feng's anger made them even more confused. Because Li Feng actually lit a fire directly in the small mud house he had just built. But other than that, there was no other action.
"AhI know, this is a stove, isn't it, Fourth Uncle"
Si Zi, who had been silent until now, saw Li Feng lighting a fire inside, and finally started to speak in realization. After coming to Jianghu Village for so long, Sizi still knew about the stove.
"No, no, although this is a fire inside, it is definitely not a stove. You see, the fire is all burned inside, and there is no opening on it, so where should I put the pot?"
When I heard Sizi say this was a stove, little YayaImmediately he raised objections.
"But, little aunt, what is this if it's not a stove?"
¡°I don¡¯t know about this either. Only my eldest brother must know this.¡±
This time, everyone was at a loss and could only keep their eyes on Li Feng, trying to get the answer from him. Li Feng took a look and realized that if he didn't say anything, these two little guys would be very depressed.
"Haha, this is not the Kitchen God, but a kiln. It is a bit like the lime kiln from a while ago. Now, we are in the baking kiln, which can also be called the sweet potato kiln. As the name suggests, this kiln is just for us to eat It¡¯s made with fragrant sweet potatoes, do you understand this time?¡±
Yes, Li Feng brought them to the baking kiln today. The moment he thought of sweet potatoes, he immediately thought of this baking kiln. Because this baking kiln can be said to be one of their favorite outdoor activities when they were young.
When I was a child, every household in the countryside raised cattle. As long as it was weekends or holidays, the task of herding cattle was given to children like them. Li Feng and the others raised mostly scalpers. Herding cattle is much more convenient and fun than herding buffaloes. Oxen can climb mountains. When herding cattle, you only need to drive the cattle to a high mountain. You don't have to worry about them anymore and you can have fun.
When Li Feng and the others were young, they would always put a box of matches in their pockets while herding cattle. Its main purpose is for this baking kiln. If the sweet potatoes in the fields outside have not yet been confiscated, then dig them out from whichever family you can catch. If they are all taken back, then take the sweet potatoes directly from home.
It can be said that this baking kiln almost ran through Li Feng¡¯s childhood and is one of his most precious childhood memories. Therefore, when he saw sweet potatoes, he immediately thought of baking kiln.
This baking kiln is different from directly lighting the fire to roast sweet potatoes. Baking kiln is to build an earth kiln, then light a fire in the kiln, and burn the mud blocks used to build the sweet potato kiln until they are red. Then, put out the fire in the kiln. Then carefully put the sweet potatoes into the kiln one by one. Take a piece of earth and seal the entrance of the kiln. Immediately, he took a wooden stick and carefully pushed down the red-hot soil clods from the top of the kiln until the entire sweet potato kiln collapsed inside. Next, use rocks to break up the soil and pound it tightly. Finally, cover it with a layer of wet soil and make it tight.
After waiting for about ten minutes, you can use a wooden stick to pull away the soil layer by layer. Then, you can dig slowly and dig out the sweet potatoes one by one. However, at this time, you must be careful. First, be careful not to dig up the sweet potatoes. Be more careful with the excavated soil so you don't get burned.
The sweet potatoes obtained through the kiln are different from the usual roasted sweet potatoes. Ripe but not burnt, fragrant but not rotten, and most importantly, this sweet potato will have a unique fragrance.
Because of this, when Li Feng and the others were young, they often went straight to herding cattle without eating lunch. When the time came, they would just go straight to the baking kiln.
If that¡¯s not enough, you can also catch some grasshoppers and put the grasshoppers on top of the newly dug soil in the sweet potato kiln while the temperature is still extremely high. Paired with this crispy and delicious grasshopper, it will be even more perfect.
"Wow Fourth uncle, this smells so good. Delicious, so delicious Well, it's so hot Phew"
After a period of anxious waiting, Li Feng finally dug out the sweet potatoes slowly from the soil. Gao Yang, who already knew how to eat this stuff from Li Feng, Li Feng couldn't wait and grabbed one and ate it in his mouth. , and kept praising him.
"Yes, it's really delicious, even better than the one before. Brother, when will we come back next time to burn this sweet potato kiln, okay?"
Yaya is not lagging behind at all, just like Gao Yang, and has already begun to ask Li Feng when he will come again next time.
"Haha, I said Yaya, you are so stupid. When the time comes, we don't know how to do it ourselves. This sweet potato kiln is not difficult to make, and it is more interesting for us to do it ourselves."
"Ahhaha, yes, well, when the time comes, I will also build a sweet potato kiln myself."
After hearing Gao Yang¡¯s words, Yaya was stunned for a moment, and then her face immediately became happy, and her eyes were full of excitement and expectation.
¡°Fourth uncle¡¡.¡±
Only Sizi is the youngest. Li Feng said just now that it was very hot and he would not let her take it by herself. But now, watching Yaya and the others eat eagerly and smelling the alluring aroma made the little guy very anxious.
"I said you two guys, just focus on eating for yourself and don't care about others. Come on, Sizi, my fourth uncle will get you a big one. Be careful, don't burn it."
Hearing Xiao Sizi¡¯s anxious and aggrieved voice, Li Feng took a look at the situation in front of himJing, only then did he react. First he went to the side and picked a few big leaves, then picked up a sweet potato, blew the ashes clean, wrapped it up, handed it to Sizi, and said. However, Li Feng didn't dare to give her the biggest one because she couldn't eat it.
"AhXiao Sizi, I'm sorry, this is so delicious, I forgot about you"
At this time, Gao Yang and Yaya realized that they were too unjust, so they quickly ran to Si Zi and said. - Didn't finish reading?
