Chapter 63: The Snow of Cloud Mountain
The snow finally stopped completely after two days, and the sky cleared, revealing the sun that had not been seen in the west for a long time.
Jiang Erpan sat on the kang and looked out through the window, the ground was white, the mountains were white, the trees were white, only the high sky was blue and bright, like a large piece of blue glass cover, a few white clouds in the sky seemed to reflect the scene of the earth, and it felt like Yunshan County was embedded in the distant sky.
The house finches flying in the sky have nowhere to settle down, so they can only toss up and down, looking for a place where they can eat, and they are afraid that they will fall into the snowdrift as soon as they land, and they can only land on the telephone pole slowly when they are tired of flying.
Da Lin picked up the broom and went out of the house again, sweeping the street at the door, Bai Ying and Erlin had already run to their backyard, the spacious terrain was hit with snow poles, Jiang Er had a heart after eating, he didn't take a nap and now he was sleepy, yawned, and decided to go out for a walk under the kang, and he was sober and sober.
Jiang Er found a thin oil silk, found two chopsticks and went out, said hello to Dalin, and began to walk towards the woods across the road, the snow on the surface of his feet could be buried, and it still made a creaking sound when he stepped on it, when Jiang Er was about to reach the edge of the woods, Erlin and Bai Ying shouted like children: "Ergang and so on." He ran over with a jump.
Jiang Er stopped, waiting for the two of them to run over, Bai Ying asked Jiang Er breathlessly: "Ergang, what are you doing in the forest by yourself?"
Jiang Er replied: "It's okay, just go around blindly and see if there are rabbits and foxes in the forest." β
Bai Ying looked into the forest and said, "This is so close to the household, where can you find rabbits and foxes?"
Jiang Er smiled and didn't answer, he took the lead and walked forward again, Bai Ying and Erlin followed up again, and the servants walked for more than ten minutes, and went up a slightly higher hill, Jiang Er stood on the top of the slope and looked around, feeling more and more the beauty of Yunshan.
Compared with the coal mining in Yunyan and Yanzhou, it is not only the natural environment and living environment that is destroyed, but also the customs and customs have become a miasma, people from all over the world live together, and bad habits from different regions converge and evolve into new bad habits. People began to use vulgar language to express their "passion" and violent behavior to indulge their "temperament". To outsiders, those people behaved like street hooligans, but to the people who lived in that land, these behaviors swore an oath of their "sovereignty" and division of power. Gradually, there is no clear water, no green mountains, no blue sky, and no life that ordinary people yearn for.
The clouds and mountains in front of me are different, still like an unmarried girl, quietly staying in the boudoir, embroidering flowers, admiring the moon, no rouge powder, not messing with the matchmaker, and not taking care of Zhang Sheng.
Jiang Er began to be obsessed with the scene in front of him, looking at Yunshan County, which was close at hand to the west, there were not many buildings lined up, and a few simple roads were lined up into a simple chessboard. Jiang Er thought that he would be able to live a simple life in Yunshan at the moment, but in the near future, this place may become a paradise that people in Yunyan and Yunyan yearn for.
There are no towering mountains in Yunshan, only one after another earthen beams and small hillsides. Bai Ying stood beside Jiang Er, clasping her hands to her mouth: "Ah...... Ah......h
Bai Ying shouted twice, there was no echo from his imagination, and he stopped shouting about the mountain, Er Lin picked up the clean snow with both hands, squeezed a snow cake and ate it, Jiang Er also grabbed a handful of clean snow and tasted it when the first snow came, although it was not sweet, it also had a clean and cool taste.
The commotion of these two people around interrupted Jiang Er's interest in appreciating the scenery, Jiang Er simply didn't appreciate it anymore, and walked down the hillside again, not walking for a few minutes, and sure enough, he saw a snow line section by section, Jiang Er hurriedly stopped Bai Ying and Erlin who were following with gestures, and asked the two not to follow, and walked towards the snow line alone.
Jiang Er carefully looked at the ins and outs of the snow line, took out the fine oil silk and chopsticks in his pocket, wrapped the fine oil silk around the two side by side chopsticks, made a live button, and then used the found stone to nail all the chopsticks to the center of the snow line, and fiddled with the live button, covered it with floating snow, and returned to Erlin and Bai Ying.
Bai Ying knew that Jiang Er was trapping the rabbit, and she felt very uncomfortable, complaining that Jiang Er was harming her life, Jiang Er only thought that Bai Ying was a naΓ―ve little girl before, and she didn't see that she was still so kind in her heart, so she said jokingly: "Okay, I know that you have the best eyes, don't worry, we won't kill or eat the rabbit when it's set, we will keep it for you as a pet, and we will eat it when he dies." β
Bai Ying was of course happy when she heard it, and let go of the mustard in her heart, in fact, how did Bai Ying know that this wild rabbit couldn't be raised at all, it was bigger than the strength of that bird, and it could be angry to death in less than a day, and it could save everyone from killing them.
After getting off the rabbit set, Jiang Er took Erlin and Bai Ying back the same way, and just walked to the store, everyone stomped off the snow foam brought back by the soles of their shoes, and was about to enter the house, when they saw Yu Shanqing pushing a tricycle from a distance, and the tricycle was covered with a mat, blocking the things in the car, and came here.
Jiang Er understood that this must be to deliver food, and hurriedly called Dalin to come out, Dalin came out, Yu Shanqing also arrived, left and right to see that there were no outsiders, and hurriedly signaled Jiang Er to help move things, everyone was also happy, and within half a minute, the white noodles, noodles, yellow rice, yam powder and sesame oil on the tricycle all returned to Jiang Er's shop.
Jiang Er poured all these things into Bai Ying's West House, and let Yu Shanqing enter his inner room, drink some hot water, and slowly warm his body. The two talked again, Yu Shanqing said that maybe it won't take a few years, you won't need food stamps to buy grain, and you don't need to sell grain secretly, thinking that in the future, you can open a small store as big as a supply and marketing cooperative, and sell everything, so that life will be even more prosperous.
Jiang Er listened and said that it must be certain, in the Yanzhou mining area, there is no one to take care of many places, and every household can trade grain with each other by itself, and some small shops have blatantly begun to sell grain and oil, and the people in her husband's family rarely care about it.
Yu Shanqing listened and said happily: "No, I heard that you are very gray (powerful) people there, and even the people in your husband's family are afraid, so you can't control it, you are different here, or your husband's family has the final say." β
Jiang Er smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and didn't know how to answer, there are too many things to spread falsely, and the mining area is chaotic, but it has not yet reached the point of lawlessness.
The two chatted for a while, Yu Shanqing wanted to go back to the store to look at the store, Jiang Er settled the account, sent Yu Shanqing away, began to show up his own line, squeaked Erlin to wash his face together, and took advantage of this point and the bus, first went to the vicinity of the four women's cold powder shop, found a place to go around, and saved a taxi to waste money.
As soon as Erlin heard that he might have to go to the restaurant at night, he happily compared with Jiang Er's game of who washed up quickly, and everyone was happy to spoil Erlin.
The sky has wiped the dark shadow, Jiang Er and Erlin on the street have already turned a big circle, Erlin's sugar gourd and sugar fried chestnuts have also been eaten, listening to the big bell tower in the central square of Yunshan County ringing again, Jiang Er knew that it was half past six, and the two got up and entered the shop of the four women's cold noodles.
The small shop has a half-part kitchen and half space for diners, with a total of four long tables with aged vinegar and fried chili seeds, and a cash-off cabinet in the middle, with various salted sauces and chopsticks.
A woman of about forty seemed to be the proprietress sitting in the barricade, seeing someone coming, she didn't say hello but asked what to eat with her eyes, Jiang Er was a little difficult, and she didn't have anything to do when she entered the cold powder shop except for eating powder skin and cold powder, but she didn't want to eat cold powder very much, so she could only say to the proprietress embarrassedly: "Sister, let's sit down for a while, and then think about what to eat." β
The proprietress looked relieved and said, "Are you waiting for someone?"
Jiang Er hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, someone made an appointment to meet here, it's too early to come, wait a minute, eat together." β
The proprietress acquiesced to the two of them waiting in the store, beckoned the two to sit down, and poured a bowl of hot water for the two to warm their stomachs.
Jiang Er felt a little embarrassed, thinking about whether to order some food, looked up at the environment of the cold powder shop, and looked at the proprietress again, this proprietress was kind and simple, not a public face, but she felt familiar, but she didn't know the master. Just thinking about chatting with the proprietress for a few words, the door of the store suddenly opened, Jiang Er turned around, and saw that it was Qiao Sanye, but there was no one behind him. Jiang Er hurriedly patted Erlin and stood up together, and said in his mouth: "Third Master, are you here?"
Third Master Qiao was not surprised at all by Jiang Er's early arrival, and nodded with a smile: "Erxing will arrive in a while? Have you waited for a long time?
Erlin nodded and smiled: "Hehe, the third master is good, the third master is good." Jiang Er replied again: "As soon as the two of them sat down, as soon as this brother heard that he was going to go down to the restaurant to eat delicious food, he had to come, and he couldn't take it, so he followed, you also know the situation of this brother, there is no way! β
Qiao Sanye smiled and pressed his hand to signal the two of them to sit, don't be polite, and said in his mouth: "Sit down, you're welcome, you two sit first, and you will be there in a while." β
Qiao Sanchun took off his mask as he spoke, and walked towards the kitchen across the barricade, the proprietress was not too surprised by Qiao Sanchun's arrival, and there were not too many changes in expression on her face, not even a smile, she just got up with her, took Qiao Sanye's cover, hung it on the wall, and took off a relatively spacious scarf from the wall, surrounded Qiao Sanchun, and then went to the stove to turn on the electric hair dryer that blew the stove, and then sat quietly in the barricade, the usual can no longer be ordinary.
Jiang Er couldn't guess the relationship between Qiao Sanchun and the proprietress, let alone ask, and heard Qiao Sanchun in the counter say: "Erxing, you have a good mouth today, and you can taste Ye Xuan's powder skin with your own mouth." β
Jiang Er heard this, and hurriedly answered: "Hey, the third master is amazing, and he can still spin the powder skin, I can't see it." β
Jiang Er and Qiao Sanye began to chat with the calm proprietress across the counter and each other.
After another five or six minutes, the door opened again, and it was Chang Abacus and a young student in his early twenties who came in, Jiang Er hurriedly beckoned Erlin to get up together, and greeted Chang Abacus, after Qiao Sanye, who was busy spinning powder, also said hello, Chang Abacus took the young man to sit opposite Jiang Er, and the four of them all sat down, Jiang Er saw that Chang Abacus was in a good mood, and he was somewhat comforted in his heart, thinking that the third master did not seem to be looking for trouble for himself, and the suspicion of the whole day was somewhat relieved.
The arrival of Chang Abacus made Jiang Er a lot less embarrassed, the proprietress replaced everyone with a tempered cup of tea, and Chang Abacus introduced Jiang Er to the young man around him as his own apprentice: Chang Tingzhi. Jiang Er also introduced Erlin to Chang Tingzhi, and everyone said hello and waited for Qiao Sanye's powder.
When waiting for the powder, Jiang Er and Chang Abacus exchanged the knowledge of Bachazi and golden ideas, chatted very happily, and talked about Chang Abacus is a native of Zhangjiakou, Hebei, very close to Yanzhou, Yanbei, the customs of the two places are similar, the food is similar, and the knowledge points of the two are on the same channel, Jiang Er has taught a lot of knowledge about Bachazi, and Chang Abacus also explained everything, and told Jiang Er some golden ideas and tricks that he knew a little. Chang Tingzhi was also studying on the side, but Erlin was staring at Qiao Sanye's every move in the kitchen, looking forward to the delicious food being served soon.
