Chapter 622: Mountain Spring Water in the Cellar
So at that time, the names of rural people were very peculiar, and children basically didn't have a decent name, but the names of adults were very orthodox.
Wang Chen sighed, half understood, but when he saw the two children, he politely took out two hundred-yuan bills from his wallet and stuffed one for each of the two children.
Qin Huixia, who was making dumplings next to her, grinned again and again, and it was much easier to wrap dumplings.
Stuffed the money for the child, Wang Chen was idle in the kitchen, Ma Tianyao was about to pull Old Man Shi away, so he saw him here and there, and then opened the lid of the back pot.
The earthen stove in the countryside is generally one large and one small pot, some are called large and small pots, and some are also called front and rear pots.
The stove is stuffed with firewood, generally two pots will be hot, if you need to use it, two pots will be used at the same time, if you only need to use one, add some water to the back pot, one is to prevent burning, and the other is that hot water can also be used to drink.
What Wang Chen uncovered was the lid of the back pot, which seemed to be boiling in the pot, like a paste of potatoes and corn, and he picked up the rice spoon and squinted and took a bite before giving it to his mouth.
Old Man Shi and Sun Dafu were all stupid, so they saw Wang Chen take a bite, take another bite, and then smash his mouth and talk to himself......
"Tsk, what are you boiling in this pot? It's so unpalatable, it's like pig food. ”
Sun Dafu swallowed and gave him a thumbs up.
"Hero...... It's not like, it's pig food......"
"Oh,...... Phew...... I rely on ......."
Wang Chen immediately picked his throat and retched again, and Ma Tianyao almost peed with laughter.
When Wang Chen finished his appearance, Ma Tianyao saw that the dumplings were almost ripe, and hurriedly said goodbye to Sun Dafu and Wang Chen. After rejecting his family's enthusiasm several times, Ma Tianyao didn't dare to delay for a minute when he went out......
I sent Mr. Shi to Majiawa and looked at the time, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky was gradually getting dark.
She really couldn't shake off Old Man Shi's enthusiasm, so she could only stay in Majiawa for one night.
The next day, it happened to be the Qingming Festival, she got up early to go to the grave of her parents, and then cleaned the house again when she returned home.
After everything was cleaned up, he drove Wang Chen's jeep back to the signature dish of the university town.
And Wang Chen, who stayed in Sunjiagou, the fantasy of pastoral village life was quickly pulled back to reality!
After the dumplings were cooked, he excitedly exchanged a few words with Sun Dafu, and when he heard that it was made of wild vegetables, he was also excited.
But after biting into his mouth, the brow furrowed.
It was astringent, and there was a strange earthy smell, and he was not interested after only one bite.
Seeing that he didn't eat, Sun Dafu was too late to be happy, anyway, it doesn't matter if you eat or not, the meal money has already been collected. After confirming that he was no longer eating, Sun Dafu divided the dumplings in the bowl with himself and his wife.
However, sitting and watching people eat, he seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, so he asked Sun Dafu in annoyance.
"Where's the water, O great rich? I'm thirsty. ”
"Oh, in the urn......"
Sun Dafu pointed to a brown waon at the foot of the wall.
"Oh......"
He swaggered to the side of Waon at the foot of the wall, lifted the wooden cover, and sure enough, he saw half an urn of water, clean and clear, and he quickly picked up the horse spoon and filled it a little.
I took a bite and immediately snorted.
"Cool!hahaha, this mountain spring water is sweet !!"
Then I drank half a spoonful of water in a big gulp!
After Sun Dafu's family finished eating, Wang Chen came out of the kitchen with a cigarette in his mouth, thinking about going to the village to walk around, but as soon as he walked to the courtyard, he saw a square wooden board at the foot of the courtyard wall.
At this time, he listened to Sun Dafu behind him to introduce him.
"Oh, this is the cellar of the forehead. ”
Sun Dafu didn't understand, but after he lifted the wooden cover, he understood a little, not only understood, but also understood and almost vomited.
Beneath the wooden cover is a hand-dug cistern, which, of course, is called a water cellar by the villagers, and is used to store water.
I don't know how deep the water in the cellar is, and although the water in it doesn't smell bad, there is a layer of dead branches and leaves floating on it, and no one will think of this thing as a store for drinking water.
At first, he thought that it might be used to feed pigs, but Sun Dafu's words made him cold at that time.
"You can't dig a well in this place, and it's more difficult to draft water, so every family has a water cellar, but you don't have to worry about it, this water can't eat the dead, it's all the real mountain spring water from the mountain next to it, and it's very nutritious." ”
What Sun Dafu meant was that the water he had brought back from a mountain spring in the mountains looked dirty, but it was actually drinkable, and it was more nutritious than ordinary water.
Wang Chen was disgusted when he heard this, and quickly covered the wooden cover, if he was not afraid of Ma Tianyao's ridicule, he even wanted to leave this ghost place immediately.
"Guy (friend), you've been living here for the past few months, I'll clean up the house for you, and you go outside first. Come back after dark, our house is easy to recognize, the first house in the east, the house built of bricks is the house. ”
Sun Dafu smiled at Wang Chen with yellow teeth, and there was a hint of pride in his words about his superior conditions, and he clearly told Wang Chen that his house was a brick house in the whole village.
In fact, there are only three rooms in his house, except for the kitchen, and the first two rooms can live in people, one is relatively large, which is where he and his wife and children live, and one is for sundries.
There is still a pigsty behind the yard, but it has been occupied by pigs, and Sun Dafu is still afraid that Wang Chen will scare his pigs.
Wang Chen didn't want to stay here at all, snorted twice with his nose, and walked outside at a faster pace.
Walking to the village, he took a hard breath of fresh air, but although the air was fresh, it was not very easy to breathe.
The air can smell a series of mixed smells such as grass, earth, cow dung, and.
The sun has set in the west, he went outside to look around, only to feel that the scenery is still slightly gone, Sunjiagou is surrounded by mountains, people stand in the center of the valley, the sky seems to have become smaller.
For Wang Chen, who has been living in the city, this experience is really a bit amazing.
This village is not large, at most there are seventy or eighty households, divided into three rows, horizontal and vertical, and the houses are all clustered next to each other. Except for Sun Dafu's house, which is a brick and stone structure, the rest of the people's houses are basically civil structures, the courtyard walls are rammed with mud, the top is erected by wooden beams, and then two layers are paved with tiles.
Some of them are in slightly better condition, and the gate is also covered with a sheepfold or a cowshed.
At this time, everyone in the village has eaten, and many people will gather together, or lie down or sit in a pile, smoking dry tobacco or homemade cigarettes, chatting about some meat jokes, or things that they can take out to ridicule and show off when they are young.
