Chapter 18
This morning, Lu Changge was woken up by locusts outside the house.
The sound of the wings buzzing and flapping was like a magic sound.
In the middle of the night last night, Lu Changge could even hear the sound of locusts hitting the windows and doors.
His daughter-in-law's sleep was light, and she was woken up several times.
After Lu Changge was woken up, he didn't get up, but lay down on the bed and started today's sign-in.
[System, sign in. ]
[Ding—Flight No. 40 successfully signed in for five days, and received a sign-in reward: three catties of rice, one cabbage, and three Coprinus comatus mushrooms.
Get 30 days of continuous sign-in rewards: unlimited storage buckets.
Rewards have been put into system space. 】
Seeing the rewards for consecutive sign-ins, Lu Changge realized that he had already signed in for 30 consecutive days.
Today is the day to receive consecutive sign-in rewards.
Lu Changge got up and got out of bed, and took out the water storage bucket only after leaving the room.
Looking left and right, you can't see any difference from ordinary buckets.
After reading the instruction manual, Lu Changge finally understood its usefulness.
The infinite water storage bucket, as the name suggests, can store water indefinitely.
However, this is also conditional.
When the water in the bucket is emptied, it takes half an hour for the bucket to be refilled.
[During this half hour, did the water come out little by little, or did it come out after half an hour? ]
[Uh... why don't you give the host a try? ] The system suggested with some hesitation.
Hearing the system's words, Lu Changge was speechless.
[Are you just taking something to fool me? ]
[Who... who fooled you!How do I know how it stores water since I haven't used it? ]
The system spoke loudly, but it sounded a bit bluff.
Lu Changge didn't get to the bottom of it, and directly put the water storage bucket on the ground.
Then water began to bubble from the bucket, rising upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the water in the bucket was full within a few breaths.
After the water was full, Lu Changge poured the water into the water tank next to it, and put it in the kitchen.
During the half-hour waiting time, Lu Changge was not idle, so he made breakfast by the way.
Scooped two bowls of flour, added water and kneaded it into a ball, and finally made five big steamed buns.
I washed five more sweet potatoes and three eggs, and steamed them together in the bottom steamer.
[Niteng, come and watch the fire. ]
[Come on! ] Er Teng got into the kitchen through the window.
After raising the fire, Lu Changge started cooking rice porridge again.
When passing by, Lu Changge glanced at the water storage bucket next to him, and found that some water had already emerged from the bucket.
From this, it can be concluded that the water storage bucket is coming out little by little, and it just takes half an hour.
After the guess was confirmed, Lu Changge began to concentrate on making breakfast.
Lu Changge likes to use uncooked rice to make porridge, so the porridge and rice soup are as thick as pulp, and the rice grains are blooming.
Take a sip of the thick and luscious taste, and the taste is better than porridge made with rice.
After the rice is boiled with water, add the pitted red dates and simmer over low heat.
Then, the rest of the work was handed over to Erto.
[Stir well, don't let the porridge stick to the pot. ]
[Good master! ]
Erteng turned into two more vines, one of which was wrapped around a wooden spoon and started to stir.
At the same time, pay attention to the heat, if the fire is not enough, add some firewood to another vine.
Lu Changge came back after going out for a while, still holding a basin of goat milk in his hand.
Clean the milk pot, pour in the goat milk, add two tablespoons of sugar and start cooking.
Of course, Erto was still watching the fire.
At this time, Erto has branched into four vines. Of course, there are also many vines flying in the air, and they are cleaning the kitchen.
This time, the scene is like a crazy dance.
I have to say that Erto is indeed a master in the kitchen.
Nito, who was forced to open: Weeping Cat, Maotou.jpg
When will the master let it change jobs with Dateng?
After handing over the kitchen to Erto, Lu Changge went out to wash his teeth and face.
Looking up at the sky for a while, I found that there were densely packed locusts gathered in the sky.
It is like a large hollowed-out black cloth covering the sky, even the sunlight is partially blocked.
There is quite an atmosphere of dark clouds overwhelming the city.
And the number of locusts in the yard was several times higher than before.
Except for the half-meter vacuum around Lu Changge, there are flying locusts everywhere.
For the two flowering fruit trees in the yard, the flowers have been eaten up, and more than half of the leaves have been eaten.
In order not to attract the attention of others, the big vine retracted its branches, so the vines on the courtyard wall were not spared.
[System, locust plague broke out? ]
[Yes, the situation outside is even more terrifying. ] The system said.
[fear? ]
Lu Changge frowned slightly, is this scary?
[This level is not considered terrifying, but it is a bit shocking. ]
After washing his face, Lu Changge walked into the kitchen and asked.
[System, do you have a storage tank there? ]
[Didn’t the bucket be stored for you just now?Want more? !No! ] The system rejected it very decisively.
[I want that kind of ordinary water storage bucket, as long as it can hold water, understand? ]
[ah?Oh oh oh!Got it, I have a lot of this kind!Tell the host, how many do you want? ] The system smiled awkwardly.
[Then give me 1 first. ] Lu Changge didn't feel at all what a lion opened his mouth.
[What?roll! ! ]
In the end, Lu Changge still got 600 ordinary buckets sponsored by the system, which was severely reduced by more than ten times.
In the kitchen, Lu Changge bargained with the system while serving porridge.
After all, six hundred are too few.
However, before he could reach a conclusion with the system, he heard Xiaotuanzi calling for help from the bedroom.
Lu Changge didn't even think about it, he put down his things and hurried over.
……
Last night, he only ate half a bowl of rice, Xiaotuanzi woke up from hunger.
Xiao Tuanzi, who was so hungry, was still not so clear-headed.
Seeing that his father was not there, he climbed to the end of the bed and slid out of bed.
Putting on his shoes, he walked unsteadily to the door.
Then without thinking, he opened the door.
As soon as the door was opened, the locusts flew in, scaring Xiaotuanzi soberly.
It turned out that Xiaotuanzi only ate half a bowl of rice last night because he was frightened by locusts.
Seeing so many insects flying in and thinking that Mu's father was still sleeping on the bed, Xiaotuanzi panicked all of a sudden.
Woooo... Father Mu is going to be eaten by worms!
"Daddy—! Woohoo... Where is Daddy?! Father Mu is going to be eaten by worms!!"
Seeing that the bed curtain was lifted a bit, Xiaotuanzi ran over on his short legs, afraid that the insects would fly in.
When Lu Changge heard Tuanzi's shout and ran over, he saw the boy with his head buried in the bed curtain and his butt exposed.
Lu Changge was a little dumbfounded, but he drove out all the locusts that flew in immediately, and then closed the door.
"Tuanzi, you can come out now."
"Wuuuu... No, there are bugs." Xiaotuanzi trembled, not daring to lift the bed curtain over his head.
"No, Chongchong was chased away by Daddy." Lu Changge squatted beside him, coaxing.
"Really?" Xiaotuanzi hesitated.
At this time, Su Qingyun who was lying on the bed woke up.
Seeing Tuanzi lying beside the bed, holding the bed curtain tightly with both hands, Su Qingyun was puzzled.
"Tuanzi, what's the matter?"
"Wuuu... Father Mu, there are insects flying in, I'm so scared..." Xiao Tuanzi let go of his hands and climbed onto the bed when he heard his father's voice.
Lu Changge took advantage of the situation and opened the bed curtain.
"How did Chongchong fly in?" Su Qingyun sat up, wondering.
"Hmm..." Tuanzi buried her face in the quilt, a little embarrassed.
"Get up and have breakfast." Seeing that the boy was embarrassed, Lu Changge changed the subject.
In the end, Lu Changge brought in the wash water for the father and son.
Xiaotuanzi, who already had a psychological shadow on the locusts, dared not step out of the house at all now.
He didn't even dare to open the door, for fear that bugs would fly in if the door was opened.
After washing, Lu Changge brought out the water, and brought in breakfast not long after.
At this time, Xiaotuanzi was already obediently sitting on the chair.
"Daddy, I'm so hungry." Xiaotuanzi looked at Daddy eagerly.
"Drink some porridge first." Lu Changge served him a half bowl of red date porridge.
Xiaotuanzi dragged the bowl over, scooped it up to a full spoonful, and stuffed it all into his mouth in one gulp.
Lu Changge first scooped up a bowl of red date porridge for his daughter-in-law, one sweet potato for each person.
Then he helped the father and son peel the eggs, and poured a bowl of goat milk each.
The rest belonged to Lu Changge.
Five big steamed buns, three sweet potatoes, one egg, and three big bowls of porridge.
He does not drink the goat milk, leaving it to the father and son.
"I'll go to town later, daughter-in-law, do you have anything to buy?"
Lu Changge asked while eating steamed buns with diced radish.
"Buy a piece of cotton cloth and come back, the tuanzi's clothes can't fit anymore."
Children tend to grow taller, and the clothes before Tuanzi are already short, and half of their arms are almost exposed.
"Candied haws... Daddy, I want to eat candied haws again..." Xiaotuanzi gnawed on sweet potatoes, his voice indistinct.
"Okay, I'll buy it for you."
Su Qingyun asked again, "Master, what are you doing in town?"
"There have been more locusts these days. I'll go buy some bamboo curtains and come back to surround the corridor."
In their house, the main house, main room and Tuanzi's west wing room in the north direction.
And the kitchen and bathroom on the west side of the courtyard wall are connected by a corridor.
It was built this way in consideration of walking in and out on rainy days without the trouble of holding an umbrella.
Now, it's more convenient.
Buy some bamboo curtains and hang them up, and then pull down all the bamboo curtains to keep the locusts out.
