Chapter Thirty-Nine: Clothes and Hats
The phone call did not affect Zhou Heng's mood.
After hanging up the phone, he remembered the things he had been thinking about before, he thought of the clothes, and then remembered that he seemed to have one at home.
Find out.
These old objects, even my father doesn't use them often, and I don't know where they are collected.
Now all kinds of raincoats are lighter and waterproof than the lily coat, and the lily coat is destined to be eliminated.
Zhou Heng searched for a while, but he didn't find it, so he shouted at the top of his voice: "Mom, where is our family's clothes?
It rained today, and I couldn't do the work in the field, and after the chickens were fed, there was nothing else to do, so my father and mother got food in the kitchen.
In their area, there is a snack called fat cake, which is relatively popular, and when it is not busy every year, it will be eaten several times, and Zhou Heng used to eat it when he was at home, and he thought it was particularly delicious.
But then I haven't eaten it for years.
Although I can buy it outside, I always feel that the taste is different, and the various additives are different, so I don't like it very much.
No, after coming back for so long, thanks to the blessing of the rain, my father and mother have nothing to do, and he can eat this kind of food again.
The main reason is that this thing is a bit troublesome to make, and it has to soak rice, beat rice milk, and ferment, and it has to be steamed for so long in a high fire, so it is not something to eat every day.
When the farm is busy, the daily three meals can be simplified, and you will not eat such time-consuming things.
Therefore, the snack that is only eaten once in a long time always feels particularly delicious. Even if I haven't eaten it in a while, I will miss it very much.
The fat cake here may be different from other places, where flour and corn flour are used, but here it is made with rice and glutinous rice.
Their hair cakes here are as white as jade, the holes are as fine as needles, the smell is fresh and fragrant, the food is sweet but not greasy, glutinous but not sticky.
Of course, the practice is also very cumbersome, to soak the rice one night in advance, rice and glutinous rice to follow a certain proportion, which is related to whether the finished product will stick to the teeth, whether it will be sweet.
When the rice is well soaked, it can be pulped out the next morning and then fermented.
The pulp is beaten by stone milling, although there is electric grinding in the town, but the distance is too far, and you can't row it, so you grind it at your own home.
It's just a little more effort anyway.
After grinding the rice milk and fermenting it until now, it is being poured into the grinding tool one by one, ready to be steamed in the pot. The wood stove has a different fragrance when it is steamed.
When Li Yunlian heard her son ask about Lingyi, she couldn't help asking, "What do you want to do there?" There are raincoats and umbrellas at home!"
Zhou Heng said: "I didn't ask for an umbrella, I just wanted to see Lingyi, I haven't seen it for many years." ”
Zhou Faqiang, who was busy with the stove, said: "You go to the back room, the box to look for it." ”
Zhou Heng hurriedly went to find it, and he really found it, and his father has a good memory.
Old objects that have not been used for decades, and my father and mother are reluctant to throw them away. It's a pity that there are no valuable objects such as Yuan Datou or villain books at home, otherwise, they can be valuable if they are saved until now!
Zhou Heng remembered which channel he used to be on, and saw that the craftsmanship of making clothes has now been lost, and the old craftsmen felt very pity.
So, he thought, why don't you wear a coat and go out to get fish today?
However, their coats here are brown, not like the poem "green hats, green coats", because this has been left for decades, and only when it is just newly made, it is turquoise.
Because this cloak is made of something called "weed".
Anyway, if you put it on for a while, and when you walk in the rain, you must take a photo and send it to Moments, you have to show off and show off.
It's not an exaggeration to use the word "show off", many people have never seen this thing at all.
The things that haven't been taken out for a long time have piled up a lot of dust, and Zhou Heng rarely wiped them with a damp cloth diligently, which feels very good.
The cloak is split, the upper body is a cloak, and the lower body is a skirt, just enough to block the whole body, plus a hat to cover the head, it's okay.
Zhou Heng put on a set, and suddenly felt like an ancient hero, and he felt very good.
He assumed a posture that he thought was handsome, leaned on his hat, and recited a line he saw in a book: "My name is Ah Liang, the kind Liang, and I am a swordsman." ”
Then, he raised his hand and raised it into the void and said, "Here comes the sword!"
As soon as he stepped on the soles of his feet, a stick was trampled and bounced, and it fell firmly into his hand.
At this moment, Zhou Heng felt that his posture was too handsome.
It's a pity that I didn't make a video and recorded it, and I made a mistake.
When the pose was finished, he went to get a fishing net, a small artifact, and a small bucket and went out.
This hero is going to carry a bucket to get fish today, let's go!
The big yellow dog happily followed.
Li Yunlian saw that Zhou Heng was going out from the kitchen, so she hurriedly chased him out and said, "Where are you going when it rains? ”
This thing must be the best when it is fresh out of the pot and steaming with a steaming fragrance!
The food that was originally made for him, and he ran around, what is the point?
Zhou Heng said: "It doesn't matter, I'll go get some fish and come back, I know to see the time." ”
The rain was actually not too heavy, and the big yellow dog's fur was drenched one by one, but its fur was very thick, and it was only the surface that was wet.
Zhou Heng said to it: "It's still hello! Look, we went to get fish, it was for the kitten to eat, but it didn't go out, or you accompanied me in the rain, didn't we? ”
The kitten just now, when Zhou Heng was wearing the coat, it was still jumping around on the coat, a picture of others playing with it.
But when it's time to go out, it won't come out, lazy.
The big yellow dog didn't know if he understood it, so he shivered a few times, shook off the rain on the surface, and continued to walk forward.
Just passing by someone else's taro field, Zhou Heng picked a leaf, put it on the head of the big yellow dog, and said, "Come, you are carrying this, this is your umbrella." ”
The leaves are so large that they cover most of its back.
The big yellow dog suddenly restrained himself and walked extremely carefully, for fear that the things he was carrying would be gone.
It also thought that Zhou Heng let it carry something very important.
Zhou Heng laughed and said, "Dog, why are you being cuckolded!
Sometimes looking at such an obedient big yellow dog, the mood is inexplicably better, the dog is very human.
Walking in the rain like this, Zhou Heng was in a good mood, and sang while walking: "He said that this pain in the wind and rain is nothing, wipe away your tears, don't cry, at least we still have dreams......"
Hey, what's this song? Forget it, sing it.
At this time, the green mountains and green waters are all hidden in a light rain, the smoke and rain are all around, the sky and the earth are like fog and cover, and it feels quite beautiful.
Zhou Heng lost no time in taking out his mobile phone, took a selfie, and then posted a circle of friends.
Wait for those who have not seen the beautiful scenery in the rain in the mountain village.
kept walking, and came to a place where the ditch was very narrow, Zhou Heng felt that it was very good, so he decided to put the net here.
Play and play, he hasn't forgotten to get down to business.
At this time, the rain had completely stopped, but the sky overhead was still cloudy, and it was blown away by the wind, and it was still raining for a while.
But it rained for a day and a night, and the water in the canal flowed very fast, driving the soil at the bottom of the canal to turn yellow.
Zhou Heng applied the net here, tied the two ends to the thick grass roots on both sides, and pasted it with thin mud next to it, and a simple net was spread.
The water is fast, and when the evening comes, there will be a harvest here.
The first thing is over for the time being, and now, Zhou Heng has to do something else.
When he went out, he brought a special artifact - this was also obtained before, and then he threw it at home, and when he was looking for Lingyi today, he also found it.
This is still grinding when he was a child, he forgot where he got the steel wire strip on the steel rim of a waste bicycle, sharpened one end, and then bent into a small hook, which is a sharp weapon for fishing yellow eel.
The old gadgets have been kept at home until now, and it is rare that they have not been thrown away.
This thing is really convenient for fishing for yellow eels, using earthworms as bait and hanging on the hook.
After the rain, the soil became soft, and earthworms could be dug out anywhere, and after wearing them, Zhou Heng went to look for a small hole on the bank of the canal.
Yellow eels like to burrow, and of course, crayfish like to do it. There are so many small holes on the shore, and what is hooked is what.
The steel bar is less than two feet long, so you can just hold it in your hand and operate it, stretching it into the small mud hole, and the earthworm is gently shaking.
Yellow eels will think that some small fish and shrimp have come, and that is their main meal, and it is easy to take the bait.
In the first hole I tried, no, I probably ran away.
Zhou Heng was not discouraged, and changed to the next mud hole.
It's very simple, in less than three minutes, he picked up one, almost the thickness of his thumb, thirty or forty centimeters long, it's okay.
Generally, yellow eels are a litter of male and female, and there must be another one nearby, Zhou Heng is in that hole and continues to fish.
It really depends on experience to do this! No, I really got another one.
If you don't know, you've missed it.
However, when there was another hole, Zhou Heng only got one, maybe the other one went out and didn't return.
In ten minutes, I got three yellow eels, and the harvest was good.
I'm going back to eat fat cakes, and I guess after walking back, the time is just right. Otherwise, he would like to get a little more, even if it is a little more crayfish.
was about to go back, Zhou Heng washed his hands, and then saw the dirty big yellow dog, and said, "Come, I'll help you wash it too." You're also pathetic, taking a shower once when it rains. ”
Zhou Heng helped the big yellow dog wash all four legs, and wiped the mud on his back.
Not to mention, this dog actually looks quite handsome, and the more he looks at it, the more he looks at it, the more beautiful his eyebrows become.
Okay, carrying the three yellow eels in the bucket, Zhou Heng walked back leisurely.
Before I arrived at the door, a breeze blew, and the familiar fragrance of hair cake came over, refreshing people's hearts. It was a smell that was different from elsewhere, and a smell that belonged to his memory.
Zhou Heng couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
It was this smell, and now that he smelled it, he suddenly realized that it seemed that he had really been away from the hair cake for a long time.
