Chapter 2 Lamb Soup Fence Stakes
"Master, when will Wuling Township arrive?"
Sitting on the bus back to Wuling's hometown, Li Feng smiled bitterly and looked at the IOU in his wallet, this was not left by himself to Zhou Li, when did he return to his wallet. Li Feng took out the phone and hesitated, thinking that it would be better to forget it, and call her when he had enough money.
The car was a little bumpy, Li Feng leaned forward slightly, and his ass was owed, so it was good for the knife edge, this was explained by Zhou Li, Li Feng thought about it, and secretly thought that he didn't know who was so lucky to marry a wife like Dr. Zhou.
Li Feng didn't dare to think that he was poor and white now, and he lost his job again, but he didn't dare to think that Zhou Li could take a fancy to him. "Wuling Township has arrived. Just thinking about something, the flight attendant shouted loudly, and Li Feng hurriedly stood up and raised his hand. "The master stopped at the entrance of the street. ”
Wuling Township is a small township in the corner of the Qinling Mountains, more than 200 miles away from the city, belonging to the old mountainous area, there is only one street and one small street, Li Feng carries a small bag, pulling two large boxes, it is quite conspicuous.
Along the old stone street, Li Feng felt familiar and unfamiliar, the shops on both sides of the street basically did not change from ten years ago, but there were more air-conditioning cases, to say, Li Feng has returned to Wuling only a handful of times since he went to high school. "Around the corner, I remember that there was a haggis soup shop, but I don't know if it's still there. ”
At the turn of the street, there is a small alley, it is a small street of Wuling, and the bluestone road is only two meters wide compared to the street that is more than five meters wide, and the shed is almost blocked from all the sunlight. The old flag of the old Guo haggis soup at the intersection was hung high, Li Feng showed a smile, pulled the box, and walked into the store. "Boss, let's have a bowl of haggis soup, less oil and more soup, and two baked cakes. ”
"Okay. ”
Lao Guo was picking the sheep's head meat, looked up at Li Feng, the boning knife was cut on the wooden case, he clapped his hands with a smile, and wiped his hands on the apron. "Little brother came to Wuling to play?"
"Hehe, go home, on the slope of the Li family. ”
Li Feng said with a smile, his nose twitched, the mutton soup pot was opened, and the fragrance was overflowing, to say that this mutton soup is some years old, the taste of pure mutton soup is really mutton bones, not like some soup powder is added outside, I heard that the ancestors opened haggis soup here, and it has been passed down for decades.
As soon as Lao Guo heard that it was Li Jiapo, he grabbed the haggis, loosened it, and grabbed a handful more, and Lao Guo Tou's aunt married in Li Jiapo. Lao Guo said, don't say it, Li Feng still has to call his aunt and grandmother.
The countryside looks very big, in fact, ten miles and eight townships, the pie can connect with some relatives, Lao Guo Tou, said happy Qianzhang, bean cakes, and small crispy balls put an extra handful, a bowl of mutton soup with ingredients was served.
The mutton soup is milky white, with red spicy mutton fat floating on it, dotted with white onion foam, Li Feng holds the mutton soup along the edge of the bowl, sucks a mouthful, cool, fragrant, there is no usual mutton soup smell, the fragrant mutton soup is mixed with a hint of burnt spicy, with some chives and coriander, suck a bite, the whole body is warm and comfortable.
Lao Guo's daughter-in-law, send two large baked cakes, this barbecue is baked in an earthen stove, completely with firewood, the baked cakes are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, this is definitely not a boast. The baked cake is wrapped in pork and chives minced filling, wrapped in a roll of meat filling, a pat and a pull, a stick to the stove hole and a bake, the outside is crispy, a bite down is crispy and fragrant, the filling inside is baked with noodles, a bite down the meat filling chives are full of fragrance, and then a bite of haggis soup, absolutely.
Li Feng's appetite was great, and his worries were put aside, comfortable. "It's still comfortable to eat sheep soup at home, and the boss settles the account. ”
"Forget it, forget it, I'm invited. Old Guo Tou said with a smile. "It's not easy for my little brother to come back. ”
"How's that? ”
Saying that, Li Feng took out twenty yuan, and was about to leave as soon as he let it go, Lao Guo's daughter-in-law was busy shouting, looking for money, Li Feng looked back and found the change, fifteen yuan, this bowl of mutton soup with ingredients plus two large baked cakes, only five yuan.
Li Feng was still polite in front of Lao Guo's daughter-in-law, and he was busy until Lao Guo stood up and said that a big bowl of mutton soup costs four yuan, and two baked cakes cost one yuan, which is much cheaper than in the city, and it is impossible to get it for fifteen yuan less in the city.
Li Feng collected the change, pulled the box, went out of the alley, and hurried back to Lijiapo, Lijiapo is far away from the streets of Wuling Township, and there are more than ten miles of mountain roads, fortunately, on the way, he met a cousin donkey cart from the same village who came to buy things on the street.
"Uncle, when will we repair this road, didn't you say last time that the county planned to repair the road for us, why didn't there be any movement?" Li Feng sat on the donkey cart, his butt was cocked, and the road was a little bumpy, to say that this broken road has been going to be repaired for some years, and it was said that it would be repaired a few years ago, but it is gone.
Driving the donkey cart was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with some hunchbacks and a little white hair, a square face with black sauce, a pair of big hands, and a grin. "What to repair, a few days ago I said that I wanted to develop, and the boss of the people came, and the country said that I wanted to protect the mountains and forests, and I said that I would not let it, and everyone ran away, who would repair it." ”
Li Feng smiled, it's hard to say, if you don't want to do a good job in the ecological protection of this mountain forest, it can't be done well, the outside road is not accessible, outsiders can't come in, there is no development, the mountain and forest ecology is good, in the final analysis, whether it is good or bad, there is no conclusion.
Of course, most of the mountain people want to develop, and the big bosses outside have money, and their fingers are enough for them to eat and wear. Along the way, while walking and chatting, more than ten miles, walked for an hour, and arrived at the entrance of Lijiapo Village, Li Feng moved his luggage. "Uncle, you have time to come to my house for a drink. ”
"Okay, okay. ”
Li Feng's house is at the east end of the village, not far from the entrance of the village, and after a while, he came to a small courtyard, the small courtyard is piled up with stones, the courtyard is three large houses with stone foundation adobe and black tiles, and against the courtyard wall on the east side are two huts as kitchens.
A middle-aged woman, who was washing beans by the well in the yard, looked up at the tall man standing outside the door, was stunned, and the bamboo basket in her hand fell to the ground, looking surprised and unbelievable. "Xiao Feng is back?"
"Mom, I'm back. ”
At night, Li Feng lay on the familiar wooden bed, his ears were familiar and unfamiliar insects, birds and baby calls gradually rose, from time to time there were some strange beast roars in the mountains in the distance, the night mountain village was not peaceful, there was no human activity, the small animals lived their own small life, chattering and noisy. The familiar environment was reassuring, and Li Feng fell asleep after a while.
Early in the morning, Li Feng got up early in the morning, the air in the mountains was good, he slept fragrantly, and his spirit was much better. "Mom, what's going to be eaten in the morning?"
"Bean curd. ”
Lijiapo bean curd is ground tofu by himself, handmade, white and tender, topped with toppings, chopped mustard and fried fragrant crushed peanuts, with red chili oil, grab a handful of chopped coriander foam, sprinkle, not to mention more fragrant.
Li Feng ate three bowls in a row, then put it down, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and had breakfast, Li Feng followed his mother to the vegetable garden to help water it, Li Feng's father worked outside and rarely came back, and his sister Li Tong was in the county to go to the high school, a boarder, and he could only come back once a month.
The vegetable garden is more than two miles away from Li Feng's house, and a hillside near the big river, nearly one acre, which is not a small vegetable garden.
"Hey, Mom, what's going on?" The vegetable garden was in a mess, the cucumber stalks were crooked, a lot of cucumber seedlings were pulled, peppers, eggplants, beans, and tomatoes were all in trouble, and the wind seemed to blow through.
Zhang Fengqin scolded a few words and said while holding the cucumber pole. "It's not the wild boars that make trouble, there have been more and more wild boars in the mountains in recent years, and they often run to the village, I wanted to wait for your father to come back and go to the mountains to cut some stumps and get the fence down again. ”
Wild boar, Li Feng saw it when he was a child, and then he didn't hear that there was one in the mountains, why didn't he work hard for a few years, and the wild boar disaster came, and he only knew that in the past ten years, the government has engaged in ecological protection, and the wild boar has become a protected animal, killing the lawless, and this is only to this point today, causing a wild boar disaster. "You can't just watch these wild boars wreak havoc on the vegetable gardens and crops, the government has nothing to say. ”
"What to say, the government is also having a headache now, in the past two years, wild boars have plagued the crops more and more, many people go to the streets to make trouble, last autumn, the mayor of the town ran to the villages, gathered people, and hunted wild boars, but now the shotgun has long been handed over to the government, without a shotgun, who will go up the mountain to fight the black tiger. Zhang Fengqin said, there are more and more wild boars, and the disaster vegetable garden will be forgotten, but the crops will be given disaster, and the family's rations will be gone.
Li Fengxin said that feelings are such a thing. "Mom, I'll go to the mountains and cut some stumps to reinforce the fence of our vegetable garden. "Speaking of which, Li Feng hasn't moved a saw for a few years, not to mention, it's really a little rusty.
"This kid. ”
"When did you come back?"
Li Feng was struggling to pull the saw, and a middle-aged man walked over. "Third uncle, go into the mountains to collect medicine, came back yesterday, hehe, the vegetable garden at home was plagued by wild boars, I will pull some tree stumps. ”
"What, the wild boar has entered the village?"
The third uncle in front of him, Li Fu, is the head of the village and the head of more than 50 families in Li Jiapo, and he was startled when he heard the wild boar coming down the mountain to bring disaster to the crops. "These black tigers that should be killed, I'll go to the town to react in a while. ”
"Third uncle, can you fight wild boars now?"
"Can you fight, now the wild boar is in trouble, whoever hits it belongs to whom, this is what the mayor said in front of everyone. Li Fu said, looking at Li Feng, a little worried that Li Feng was young and ambitious. "Xiao Feng, don't mess around, this black tiger is terrible, provoked, more powerful than a tiger. ”
"Third uncle, don't worry, I'm not stupid, this thing is more angry than a tiger. ”
Li Feng said with a smile, he is not stupid, he didn't have a shotgun to go to the mountains to hunt wild boars, and he didn't want to die. Li Fu was still a little uneasy, and repeatedly told Li Feng that he went down the mountain to the town, and Li Feng pulled a few stumps with the thickness of the bowl mouth, and it took half a day to transport them back to his vegetable garden.
"Ding-dong. ”
"The update of the village live broadcast room has been completed. ”
"Something. ”
