Chapter 48: Chicken Leg Mushrooms
"The poplar leaves are patting and clattering, and the fields are full of sorghum." More than 300 acres of sorghum are planted in Hantun Village every year, with male laborers using cocoons in front and female laborers following behind to pull hoards and press. For several days, the squeak of hoarding sorghum sounded in the fields.
Grandma said, "The mushrooms are long, it's time for the rain, I don't know if I can eat mushrooms this year." ”
Not to mention, the rain really made Grandma chatter. As soon as the sorghum was planted, a light rain fell overnight. When I wake up in the morning, the air is fresh, the eyes are full of green, and the peach trees are falling.
"Good rain knows the season
When spring happens
Dive into the night with the wind
Moisturizing things silently"
"Spring sleep is not aware
Birds are heard everywhere
The sound of wind and rain at night
Flower fall knows less"
Youyou felt it, and the family was stunned. Seeing this, Yoyo put his hand on his forehead, and forgot that in this special era, this well-known poem is rarely mentioned.
Dad asked her, "Yoyo, who did you learn from?"
"I heard my mother read it, and I remembered it when I thought it sounded. Yoyo looked at her mother with a blank face and lied unkindly.
"This kid, following the roots of your Wu family, has a good brain since he was a child. Grandma said to her father that she was covering for Yoyo.
Fortunately, Si Ni Guiping came to shout: "Yoyo, pick up mushrooms." ”
"Okay. Yoyo agreed, and quickly ran out, and grandma took a basket and followed behind.
In the planted sorghum field, the shallow marks of the hoarding are very eye-catching. Overnight, mushrooms grew in clusters.
The white fat mushroom showed its small umbrella-shaped head, put his hand into the soft soil, pinched the mushroom leg and gently pulled it out, and the thick mushroom leg was pulled out, and it was more than a handful long.
Grandma told Yoyo that this is called chicken leg mushrooms, which are fragrant, tender and delicious. It's a pity that it is only found in the freshly aged sorghum fields, and it must be in the early morning after the rain, and as soon as the sun shines, the mushrooms are black and inedible.
Most of the mushroom pickers in the vast fields were women, and a few elderly men. Grandma said that you have to use dexterity to pull mushrooms, and the man's strength is great, and he can't pull out the mushroom legs even if he crushes the mushroom head.
Yoyo and Grandma walked away from the crowd and released a few robots to help pick up mushrooms. Yoyo ran around to collect it in the space, grandma showed her people, and when someone approached, she greeted loudly to remind Yoyo.
The mushroom leg was covered with a layer of dirt, and it had to be slowly cut off with a knife, which was very troublesome, so Yoyo handed it over to the machine to deal with.
This day happened to be the eleventh day of March in the lunar calendar, and the big gathering of Zhangji Commune, grandma took Youyou to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy goods, and handed over the purchased groceries. Now grandma has learned to drive the donkey cart, let Yoyo follow and watch things.
I went to the food station to hand over the eggs first, and when I entered the door, I saw a group of people buying meat around the meat rack, pointing and choosing, and everyone wanted to buy fat meat without bones.
The pig killer stood leisurely with a machete, patiently waiting for people to choose. Seeing his grandmother coming, he shouted loudly: "Sister-in-law, do you want meat today?" ”
"Yes, you cut it down first and keep it, and I'll go and hand over the eggs." ”
When the stationmaster saw his grandmother come in, he happily ordered the staff to help unload the car.
"Sister-in-law, you have set up this consignment point well, and you have collected all the eggs in Pingcheng County. There are more than 1,000 of these days per set, and they are also top-notch in the county's consignment points. ”
"In the spring, the chickens lay a lot of eggs, and it is not convenient to catch the market in the remote beach area, so I will collect more from the small point (consignment point). Don't worry, stationmaster, I will try to collect as much as possible in the future.
By the way, my village has fed a lot of pigs this year, and you can't run this year's advanced. I have to trouble you, I asked the master to leave the fast meat, and you can approve a note. ”
"Sister-in-law, Lao Wang lied to you again, it must be lean meat with bones, no one wants to use it to coax you, I'll go and tell him and ask him to change you for a piece of fat." Yoyo listened and shouted in his heart: "I want lean meat, do you always know that bones are more expensive than meat in the next generation." ”
Seeing the anxious sample, grandma hurriedly said: "Thank you, stationmaster, but, you look at my family's small point, it's good to gnaw bones, and the puppy is born." ”
"No wonder Lao Wang treats you well, it's hard to meet you who is willing to ask for flesh and bones, I'll go and talk to him and ask him to leave you more. ”
"Thank you very much. ”
No matter what era it is, the leader counts, in addition to the two catties of meat left just now, Master Wang put two leg bones on it, and only charged five cents, jumping and jumping happily. Spring is the time for children to open, and big bone broth is the best way to supplement calcium.
Chapter 44 Scrap Yard
There was also half a cart of rotten shoes and broken sleeves (cotton), and my grandmother drove the donkey cart into the scrap yard. The third aunt Katsunan greeted her warmly, and she went to work here.
"Auntie, you come to deliver the goods. ”
"Well, it's been more than a month, and I haven't handed it over yet, so I've brought it here. ”
When Yoyo saw the third aunt, he shouted happily: "Three concubines." ”
"Hey, the longer you get, the more handsome you get. As he spoke, he took out two pieces of hard candy from his pocket and handed them to Yoyo.
Yoyo looked at Grandma, "Come on, thank you." ”
"Thank you, Concubine. "Yoyo took the candy cube, it is not easy to be a child.
The concubine called someone to help grandma unload the car and weigh it, and said to grandma: "Auntie, I'll go out, you always wait for me to come back before leaving", and went out of the gate after speaking.
After the pound, the rotten shoes fell on the large pile in the yard. Broken cotton is flammable and must be kept in the warehouse. Youyou followed into the warehouse, the warehouse is really big, five large rooms. It was filled with all kinds of waste products, among which the most broken cotton was the most.
Looking at the big warehouse in front of him, Yoyo complained in his heart, which is fundamentally different from the description in the travel novel. Waste paper from books is rare, calligraphy and painting are even more delusional, and there are no dilapidated porcelain and furniture, which makes your expectations fall short.
But fortunately, a lot of messy hair attracted the attention of Youyou, in addition to breaking cotton, it was the most, and the sack next to it also contained neat hair of different lengths, there were several sacks, the price of this thing in the future was comparable to gold, but it is now the price of scrap, and it is rich!
Seeing a few large vats more than one person high on the wall, Yoyo became interested. But I'm too short to see after a few jumps.
There happened to be a square stool next to it, and she quickly moved it under the rim of the jar, and climbed up on the edge of the jar.
The jar is full of copper coins, of different sizes and types.
Grandma was frightened when she saw it: "Hurry up, don't fall, you splash like a kid all day long, and you don't look like a girl." ”
The third aunt happened to come back, so she hurriedly came over to help Youyou, and said with a smile: "It's good to splash it, don't be angry when you grow up, you can pick a few good copper coins and go home to tie the shuttlecock and play." ”
