Chapter 471 [Lunch takes a lot of work]
After thinking about it, Fang Chang felt that although the room in the Unknown Hall is spacious, it is quite insufficient compared to the quantity of those things in the bag.
So he went out of the house and came to the side of the shed.
There is a sundry warehouse here, which was built together when Fang Chang was building the shed.
There are many things stored in the warehouse, including various raw materials, such as coal, charcoal, lime, alkali, iron ingots, copper ingots, wood, bamboo, thatch, jade, etc., as well as some utensils that are no longer used frequently after Fang Chang made them. Among them, the materials that are afraid of the wind and the sun are blocked by four walls, and the rest are piled up in the same shed with walls on three sides.
This warehouse was also used as a granary to temporarily store the harvested grain—now the grain has been put into the cave—so it is very empty now, with enough space for counting various sundries.
He carried his backpack and walked inside.
After thinking about it, Fang Chang didn't choose to dump the bottom of the bag upside down, but put his hand in and pulled out one by one.
So all kinds of sundries quickly covered the ground and piled up in the corners.
Old clothes, tattered armor, messy weapons, firecrackers and cannons, books and needlework, tables and chairs, bookshelves and wardrobes, embroidery beds and pedals, pots and pans, teapots and cups, dozens of seeds, cloth and metal, pens, inks and paper, food and vegetables , sweets and snacks, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, spices and herbs, toys, dry food dishes, gold and silver jewelry, fruit cakes...even a bamboo raft.
It is not enough to lay a layer on the ground, and only put it down after stacking a layer.
Because of the excellent memory, each square length knows where it came from and when it was put into the bag.
He secretly laughed in his heart and said:
"This is the consequence of not sorting out for a long time. It is estimated that there will never be anyone's package again. It is such a mess."
After thinking about it, he first repacked the things that he might need on his next trip into his backpack.
Then, Fang Chang took out all kinds of food that could be eaten immediately and put them aside separately, leaving some of them to be enjoyed in the next few days, and stuffing the rest into the backpack so that they would not spoil. The grain was also taken out separately and put back into his own granary.
The rest of the miscellaneous goods, including various large items except bamboo rafts, were carefully classified by Fang Chang and placed in this warehouse. He simply picked up the wooden planks, nails, and hammers that were originally in the backpack from the ground, and directly built two rows of shelves in the warehouse without using mortise and tenon joints, and placed those small bits and pieces on them.
Only the bamboo raft was going to be taken to the edge of the cliff, and put together with the previous boat. After the ropes and bamboo poles that made up the bamboo raft rotted, he chopped it up and used it as firewood. There is no shortage of bamboo in Yunzhong Mountain, and there is no place for this bamboo raft to be launched into the water, so it has no other use other than occupying land.
The only things that need to be moved into the house are the various books that Fang Chang collected at random when he traveled around.
Placing a few shelves of books in the house can improve the living experience, and these books can also be read in your spare time to pass the time. Fang Chang didn’t plan to use the bookshelves he brought back in his backpack. He planned to take time to make a few bookshelves with the same material and shape as those in the house for storing books in the bedroom. The style doesn't quite match.
Put the hundreds of books on the table, and then put the rearranged blue cloth backpack on the head of the warm jade bed. Fang Chang took a look, took the wine gourd off the wall, and tied it around his waist again. Just walked out the door.
The sun is shining outside, let's cook first.
Cooking in an iron pot is much easier to use than the previous bronze tripod, and it also saves firewood. So the tripod has been eliminated and placed on the axis directly in front of the Unknown Hall, on a stone base dozens of steps away from the Unknown Hall, as a decoration on the cliff.
It was once used for cooking, and it was also used to smash a person's four-legged square tripod once. Under the wind and rain, it has already turned a little blue, and it looks simple and elegant.
People who come here will not realize that the tripod was once a cooking utensil.
...
The venison is very fresh and suitable for slow cooking. Fang Chang added some mountain mushrooms and soaked dried abalone to it, covered it with a large earthenware pot and stewed it over a low heat. After a while, a strong aroma permeated the kitchen. The man moved his index finger.
The bacon made last year is now delicious. Cut a large piece and put it in the pot to steam it thoroughly. By the way, you can also cook some cool and delicious mung bean soup. White fungus is produced in Yunzhong Mountain, but Fang Chang has never collected it specially, so he doesn't have it now, otherwise, adding a little bit of it can greatly improve the taste of mung bean soup, even without adding sugar.
There is also the stewed pork with sauce hoof just sorted out from the backpack, which is red and trembling; and some dishes that have been bought even on the plate, although they have cooled down, they do not affect the flavor and can be enjoyed with a little heating.
Fang Chang also picked a small ripe watermelon from the vegetable bed, peeled the skin with a knife, sliced the flesh into slices and put it on a plate, without any seasoning, it was a good dessert.
He didn't make soup, drink or make tea, although the wine gourd was tied around his waist.
From the backpack, Fang Chang found a few tubes of nectar drinks, but they are the special drinks of the Imperial City. They are said to be made from dozens of ingredients. The bamboo tube of the hole is filled, and it is plugged with a small cork.
The bamboo tube was wrapped with a layer of oil paper and tied with a string. This exquisite appearance makes it look very high-end. Of course, it is more than ten cents more expensive than ordinary drinks, and customers are still flocking to them.
The sun is shining brightly, and through this ginkgo tree that has grown a bit, it sprinkles spots of light on the ground.
Fang Chang wiped the big stone table engraved with the Go board with a rag, and then arranged the prepared dishes on it one by one. Immediately, the white stone table was filled with sumptuous meals.
He opened a can of drink and savored every dish carefully.
until the cups and plates are clean.
Fang Chang's belly is still flat, but he has wiped out the large amount of food in front of him.
Since most of the time, he grows and eats by himself, or gathers from the mountains in the clouds, and when he went to the world recently, he didn't let go of eating, so although he won't be full or starve to death, it doesn't count as food. Wasting food.
Washing the dishes is not a burden for Fang Chang.
He cleaned up the table, took the clean bowls and plates to the stream at the exit of Biyutang, and scrubbed them carefully under the running water. Under the impact of the stream, the oily flowers on the bowls and plates were immediately cleaned up, and the original appearance was restored.
At this time, the sun has already set in the west.
Fang Chang pondered for a while, first went to the forest on the cliff, spent half an hour to catch the chickens he raised one by one, and put them in the fence. Then, he began to make material preparations for the planned work in the next few days.
