Chapter 18 Sweet and glutinous burning, a hundred years of rare medicine!
"This wine is not bad, uncle, how long have you been hiding it?", Yun Yang took a sip, and suddenly a fragrance entered his stomach and did not disperse for a long time.
"It's been a year, 100 catties of glutinous rice, 100 catties of sorghum roast! There are also a few wild ginseng picked from Hululing and some hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflori. Da Supplement, you kid have to drink less, or you won't be able to sleep at night!", Uncle said with a smile.
"Haha!", the uncle and aunt laughed, embarrassed and embarrassed.
"When did the eldest brother pick it?", the father spoke.
"It's the year before last! Wasn't that a wild boar disaster terrible, I just thought about going to Hululing to see if there were many wild boars. I didn't expect to see a big dry tree on the edge of a stream, hollow. Looking at that, three or four meters high, the leaves of He Shou Wu emerged. At that time, it took a lot of effort to split the dead tree, drill into it and dig it out. Speaking of which, the uncle couldn't finish taking a sip of the already bright red glutinous roast!
"I was startled when I dug it, good guy, his arms are thick, his facial features are almost formed, like a baby. Your aunt was shocked when she got it back!", the uncle said with a smile.
"But no, I let him sell it and still refuse!", the eldest lady glanced at the uncle.
"Silly woman, why are you selling such a good thing. Are you short of money? Although we are not rich and expensive, this kind of good thing is delivered to the door, and if it is sold, it will be unlucky for the rest of your life!", the uncle said reproachfully.
It's hard to say anything about this kind of bad luck. However, this is the case in the village. As for whether it is a coincidence or superstition, everyone has a good idea in their hearts.
In rural areas, this kind of thing is still trusted by many people.
In the past nine years, before the flood, an elder in the village picked a southern ginseng that was said to be 200 years old in the mountains, but after returning to the village, a wealthy man who heard the news bought it for 50,000 yuan that night!
In the past nine years, in rural areas, especially in Moshui County in the southwest, 50,000 yuan is a sky-high price. This also caused people from several nearby villages to flock to the mountain at that time, and the flora and fauna on the mountain suffered a lot.
A month later, the famous Flood of the Century occurred. One night, the rain was pouring down, the Bailong River was surging, and the family had planned to rebuild the house recently. As a result, that night, the earth-based house was soaked in water and collapsed, and the family was not spared.
The next day, the whole village went to the rescue, but unfortunately they were all out of breath. When it comes to this, now the uncle can't help but sigh.
Now that the uncle mentioned this, the aunt felt uneasy for a while, and quickly closed her mouth and stopped talking.
Early the next morning, Grandpa Li came to Yunyang's house with six or seven people and a cart of nitrated lime plaster.
Uncle and uncle also hurried to help, and today's task is to take down all the roof tiles of the main house, and then replace all the beams except for the main beam.
Twenty or thirty years have passed, except for the main beam, which was originally huge and could withstand the erosion of time, the others have more or less decayed.
At noon, Yun Yang cooked a large table of good dishes, and the workers who ate them were full of oil, and even ate two more bowls of rice. Grandpa Li also praised Yunyang's craftsmanship for not falling, even if he doesn't work in the future, he can earn tens of thousands of dollars a year by opening a small shop.
The sky was beautiful, and it was sunny for three days in a row.
After three days of hard work, the beams are good, the roof tiles are also laid, and the glazed tiles are arranged by the government. In this regard, the state is really good for the old revolutionary base areas.
In the east and west wings, Yunyang only renovated the roof of the east wing near the uncle, and only painted the east wing when the time came. The west wing was originally filled with farm tools and other sundries, and behind it was a vegetable garden, and Yun Yang had some ideas.
On the morning of the fourth day, Uncle Han took Aunt Han and Han Beibei to the village.
Uncle and Yun Yang went to Grandpa Han's house and saw the three of them again.
"Brother Yun Yang!", Han Beibei was overjoyed when she saw Yun Yang, and she didn't even hear her grandparents speak.
"Our Beibei is beautiful again!", Yun Yang unconsciously touched her head, and then said hello to Uncle and Aunt Han. By the way, hand some fish to Grandma Han.
"Why did you send it again? I didn't finish it in the pond two days ago. Grandma Han happily took it. There are more than a dozen boys in a village, she has grown up watching them since she was a child, she knows the roots, and it is natural to take Yunyang's things.
To be honest, when I was a child, Yun Yang and the others often took food at Grandma Han's house, and even took it secretly, but the old man just smiled and scolded a gluttonous boy, and never got angry.
As for Grandpa Han, he is a stuffy gourd, and it is rare to say a few words.
"Are you busy?", Uncle Han asked Yun Yang.
"The house is already whitewashed, and my dad is watching, and I can't intervene. Yun Yang replied. Today, Grandpa Li called more than a dozen workers, and it is estimated that the wall reinforcement and whitewashing will be completed in two or three days.
However, it takes some time to lay a concrete floor in the big house, a layer of green bricks in the yard, and cement caulking.
Green brick caulking has two benefits, it is simple, as if it is used to decorate the ground, and it is permeable.
"Okay, patriotic, let's go open the trap today?", Uncle Han seemed to be a little eager to try. It is no wonder that trap hunting wild boars is indeed very interesting, especially since I grew up in the countryside, and I am familiar with these familiar and have hunted wild boars.
"If you don't come, I'll get it out, because last night a wild boar came down the mountain and spoiled the rice in the top acre of field. Uncle nodded.
The so-called opening of the trap is actually to remove a layer of wood laid on top of the previously dug trap. Every year after autumn, the county issued a document prohibiting hunting, and at that time, the trap could not be empty, nor could it be backfilled, or it would have to be dug in previous years. So at that time, the old people in the village suggested that it should be covered with wooden planks and then covered with soil.
This habit continues year after year.
And when the time comes, the wild boar that fell into the trap will also return to the village, and now it will belong to the five of them, next to Grandpa Han's house is Grandpa Feng, his son bought a house in the county seat, but the second elder is not used to it, so he still returned to Baishi Village.
Now that the decision was made, the group began to move, shovels, pickaxes, dustpans and ropes, all of which were useful.
Aunt Han didn't go, Grandpa Han called Grandpa Feng, and the group, including Han Beibei, walked to the top of the paddy field on the north side.
The fields that have been spoiled by wild boars are generally the top part of the foothills, the northeast and northwest sides. As for the bottom of the reservoir, it is safe because of the reservoir.
Walk up along the river bank, turn to the northeast side at the foot of the reservoir, and look at it from a distance, the rice waves are layered on top of each other, staggered, like a golden ocean, very spectacular.
"Brother Yun!", suddenly, Han Beibei took a few steps closer, leaned into Yun Yang's ear, and a special fragrance went straight to the tip of Yun Yang's nose.
Exhale like an orchid, and the aroma is Yaoyao!
