Chapter 9 Catching a Big Turtle
The news that Li Qingyun returned to the village to recuperate quickly spread out, wearing the hat of the first college student in Qinglong Town, and received very high attention. However, some people only regret that he lost his job in a car accident, as a conversation after dinner, the freshness has passed in three or five days, and there is not too much malice.
It is a unique habit for people in the village to talk about the shortcomings of the east and the west, and there are not many interesting things in the countryside, and whoever catches a big fish or hunts a wild boar can quickly become news.
Today's weather is good, the sun is beautiful and the wind is clear, Li Qingyun took a fishing rod and a small bucket, and prepared to go fishing in the Xiandai River outside the village. Originally, fishing tackle could be put into a small space, but he was afraid of being sliced and studied, so he only installed small tools such as nets in the small space, and did not dare to put the rattan chair at home into it.
Followed by two golden little pups, the two puppies have only been more than a month, but after drinking the space spring water for a few days, the small body is swishing and growing, full of energy, and can already bark clearly.
"Wangwang!" Wangwang...... "The gold and copper coins were fleshy, like two small whirlwinds, following Li Qingyun's feet, biting his trouser leg from time to time, complaining that he was walking too fast.
"If you make any more trouble, you will be locked in a cage! No food, no drink!" Li Qingyun thought they were in the way, and threatened sternly.
Not to mention, as soon as the two puppies heard his reprimand, they immediately became honest, whined twice, and obediently followed behind.
Walking through the village, when I met my aunt, I greeted my aunt again, and the more I was in a hurry to fish, the more I couldn't leave. These people were too enthusiastic when they saw Li Qingyun, and asked him how his life in the city was like, why he was injured, what happened to the girlfriend he talked about before, and when he got married?
People asked, and you can't not answer, but there are some questions he doesn't want to answer, if you want to say that your girlfriend broke up, they may give you a matchmaker the next day. You can't shirk this kindness.
was sweating anxiously, and suddenly heard an old man's shout from the mouth of the alley: "Fu Wazi, when did you come back, why don't you come to see the fifth master?"
"Ouch, fifth grandfather, I wasn't just about to see you, I just met the second aunt, so I chatted for a while. Li Qingyun replied with a smile, and left the second aunt who was still unsatisfied.
The gold and copper coins were also impatient, and they screamed, and in excitement, they ran in front of him faster than Li Qingyun.
As soon as you enter the alley, you will smell a pure aroma of grain wine. The fifth grandfather is the cousin of Li Qingyun's own grandfather, an ancestor, very close, good at winemaking, and makes a living from it. There are eleven villages in Qinglong Town, and there are also winemakers in other villages, but the craftsmanship is far from that of the fifth grandfather, and you can distinguish between the superior and inferior by drinking a sip of brewed wine.
The fifth grandfather is a little hunchbacked, his body is very burly, and he is shirtless in the spring, and he is still sweating hot. Just take the steamed small sorghum out of the pot, cool it for a while, sprinkle the Daqu powder, ferment it for a certain time, and distill it in the pot to make wine. Although the steps are simple, each step is the result of years of experience, and the taste of the puree will be different if there is a little difference in the step.
"Fifth grandfather, you've been in good health recently, but don't be tired, with your old skills, you should take a few more apprentices, so you don't have to work too hard. "It's all here, Li Qingyun put down his things and prepared to look around.
"Business has not been good in the past two years, and no one wants to accept apprentices. No, with the help of your cousin's family, my skill can only be passed on to him. The old man lit the dry tobacco stick, took a few puffs, and his expression was a little sad.
"How can business be bad? Fifth Grandpa's craftsmanship is well-deserved first in Qinglong Town, and people who are so picky about my grandfather's taste only love to drink the small five grains and pure sorghum wine brewed by Fifth Grandpa. Especially the old wine that has been buried in the ground for a few years, my grandfather said that he will not change it for Moutai. ”
Someone praised the good wine, and the old man suddenly became happy: "Haha, it's good if the second brother likes it." Well, you can bring a few more jars of ten-year-old wine to your grandfather. The place at home is so big, and this wine is getting harder and harder to hide. The liquor shops in the town learned how to blend from the outside, using some inferior liquor with flavors and fragrances, and selling them at low prices, squeezing out the real old liquor I brewed to the point that there was no market. If I didn't take care of the tastes of my old friends, I wouldn't have planned to store wine, and I would have sold new wine directly, which would have saved me worry and trouble, and there was no backlog of costs. ”
Hearing the fifth grandfather say this, Li Qingyun's heart suddenly moved. Don't you have space to store wine? If you put it in the space for a year, you will get ten years of fine wine, and even if you don't sell it for money, it will be a pleasure to drink it yourself.
"Hmm...... Good idea...... Grandpa must like the deliciousness of old wine!" Thinking of this, a smile suddenly bloomed on Li Qingyun's face.
"Fuwazi, you didn't break your head in a car accident, did you? Why are you smirking?" the old man asked with some concern.
Li Qingyun hurriedly replied: "Ah, it's okay, it's okay, I definitely didn't hit my head." I suddenly thought of a way, I have a friend who is in the bulk wine business in a big city, and he has high requirements for the quality of wine, if this wine can be recognized by him, the sales of wine in the future will not be worried. ”
"What? The boss of the big city outside can take a fancy to our local wine? These three pieces of new wine for five yuan and one pound can't be put on the table, right? Even if this old wine has been cellared for several years, it only sells for about 20 yuan in the town. "The fifth grandfather was very surprised, and in addition to the accident, he was also a little unconfident.
"Fifth grandfather, don't worry, businessmen are profit-seeking, and if they don't make money, they won't do it. "The people in the mountains are too conservative, they think that a pound of wine is a lot of money, who knows that the black-hearted wine merchants outside have fried the liquor into a luxury product, and a bottle of packaged liquor is often hundreds of yuan, like Moutai Wuliangye and the like, tens of thousands of bottles are very common.
"Okay, okay, if this business is done, the fifth grandfather will not worry about not having to drink for the rest of your life. Huzi, don't be busy in the wine cellar, hurry up and pour a bottle of each wine out for a sample, Fu Wazi is going to introduce big business to our family!"
Li Qingyun wiped a cold sweat, thinking that fortunately, the price of the fifth grandfather's wine was very cheap, if it was a little more expensive, his savings would not be enough, it seemed that he had to make money quickly, otherwise he would not be able to live in the mountain village.
Gold coins and copper coins are two big flower dogs at the entrance of the ** wine cellar, because the big flower dog is tethered, the movement is inconvenient, and the degree can't catch up with the two dogs, only angry roaring loudly, feeling that dignity has been provoked.
"Fuwa is back......?" Huzi poked his head out of the cellar door and greeted Li Qingyun.
Huzi's big name is Li Qinghu, a big man inherited from the family, with dark and oily skin, and a smile reveals a neat mouthful of big white teeth.
"Brother Huzi, you should be busy first, this matter is not in a hurry, after putting the wine in a small bottle, label it, I can distinguish which price of wine it is. Li Qingyun responded with a smile and brought the two puppies back to prevent them from being naughty.
"Good difference, there are three kinds of small sorghum wine, low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, Wuliang wine is also three grades, as for corn wine, people in the city outside must not be used to drinking it, too rushing, burning their throats. There wasn't much wine in that vintage, so I didn't bottle it, right?" Huzi graduated from middle school, he has been in a mountain village, and he has never been to a city outside, and his personality is relatively straightforward.
The fifth grandfather reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "Then so much nonsense, if you are told to pretend it, you can pretend! There are two kinds of vintage wines, five years and ten years, all of which are the best high-end wines, and the other vintages are not representative." There is no aged fragrance for less than five years, and no charm for less than ten years. After ten years, there is no place to put it at home, and the storage cost is too high, only a little bit, and keep it for your own people to drink. ”
Li Qingyun was still in a hurry to fish, and after listening to the brief introduction, he said: "Okay, let's do it first, send it to my house after it is installed, I still have a plaster bandage on my left hand, and I can't bring it." ”
"Don't worry, you worry about us, why will you be burdened. Let's go, let's go, catch a big fish, and the fifth grandfather will make you bean drum and spicy fish to drink. We have been drinking the best wine for more than ten years. ”
"Fifth grandfather, this is what you said, let's not regret it, haha......" As soon as he heard that there was good wine, Li Qingyun's saliva was about to come out.
At this time, it was already mid-noon, and everyone in the village had gone to the field to do farm work, and finally no one stopped Li Qingyun from talking.
Find a place with a gentle slope, move the block and sit there, skillfully test the depth of the water, put on the bait, and throw the hook to go down the water.
The Xiandai River that spares the village is more than 30 meters wide, wide and narrow at different bends, and is divided into countless small tributaries, the real source Li Qingyun does not know, but it is said that it is in the deep mountains. There is a natural lake on Lotus Peak in the depths of the mountain, which is said to have something to do with the river.
Wangwang...... The two puppies chased the butterflies in the wildflowers on the shore, playing very happily, and after a while, their mouths were stained with grass and mud, and they ran back to Li Qingyun's side with their tongues out, rubbing affectionately on his legs.
"If you are not thirsty or hungry, you can play by yourself, if you want to drink spring water, you can come to your side to be coquettish, grandma's, Lao Tzu is not a dog, but a white-eyed wolf, right?"
Without Li Qingyun's squeak, the two puppies had already pounced, purred, drank in one go, and then licked the bowl clean with their little tongues, ignoring the fact that their little belly was already bulging.
Suddenly, the buoy in the river sank and disappeared abruptly. Li Qingyun raised the fishing rod in fright, and pulled it back. I don't know what it is under the water, but it is very strong, and it goes straight into the aquatic plants.
How could Li Qingyun let it get his wish, controlled the fishing rod, slowly paddled a small circle, and after a few clicks, he flickered it to the middle area where there was no water and grass, and a blue-black old turtle reluctantly showed a foolish figure.
No wonder with such great effort, the turtle shell was the size of a small basin, and after pulling it to the shore, he scooped it up with a net. Weigh it, there are about a dozen catties, and in the wild turtles, it can be regarded as a big one.
There is a local legend that it is said that the old turtle for decades is proficient in human nature, and Li Qingyun has always felt that this is nonsense. But as soon as I saw this old turtle shrinking its neck and showing a begging look, I softened for no reason. Turn it over and take a closer look, the round tail is short, and it is obvious that the female turtle is on it, is it time to lay eggs, and it is not yet the egg laying season?
"Forget it, I've made up too hard in the past few days, and I'm on fire. Leave a way for you to live, and help me guard the small pond of space. As he spoke, Li Qingyun waved his hand and shrouded it in the range of small space absorption. The power of the soul class grabbed it and threw it into the middle of the small pond, scaring the two little goldfish into escaping.
The pool next to the small pond was still rising slowly, and it took a few days before a spring gushed out more than two feet high. The rise is very slow, which reminds Li Qingyun that if he can save in the future, he can't use the spring water indiscriminately, otherwise the spring water will be exhausted.
When I put the hook back into the river, I heard footsteps not far away, and there were six or seven people, men and women, talking and laughing, walking towards this side. Unlike the people in the village, because they speak Mandarin, although it is not very standard.
"Huh?" Li Qingyun turned his head to look, and saw that the person walking in front was a young woman, with white skin and beautiful appearance, plump body, excellent temperament, and she was not short when she walked among men, but her expression was a little strict. Wear women's formal attire, like white-collar workwear, but more formal and conservative. As for the few slightly older people behind her, it was easy to recognize, obviously the officials of the town.
One of the middle-aged men with a red nose, wearing army green pants and a white shirt, explained something to the beautiful woman in the lead from time to time. This person Li Qingyun recognized that he had signed when he was admitted to university and transferred his household registration before, Liu Xiangqian, the director of the Qinglong Town Police Station.
