Chapter 144: Suspicion
As soon as Hu Zhong cried, Hu Zhang's was even more upset. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"If you want cherry wine, you want cherry wine? Which rotten mouth made you buy fresh ginger? Such an expensive thing, after the sun (dressing) is on, how can the hand be opened? ”
"Aunt Ge's family didn't make cherry wine, we went to the pharmacy, and the doctor in the hall said that we should use fresh ginger. He also said that he might be rotten if he had pus. If it is rotten, no matter how good the medicine is in the future, it will be in vain, and the hand may be wasted. And to this extent, cherry wine is useless. Li Qin replied that he couldn't let the Ge family carry this pot for them. And Yu Fei's illness is so serious, it is also necessary for her to let the Hu family know.
"Listen to their nonsense! They just want to make money! Hu Zhangshi pouted.
"If that's the case, they'll let you buy dried ginger. After all, dried ginger is sold in pharmacies. Li Qin said.
Hu Zhangshi saw the strip of cloth that Li Qin untied for Yu Fei again, and found that it was thick ginger powder inside, so he was a little unhappy again, "What are you doing with so much?" Oh, buy so much and come back like this? ”
"That's it! A day of babbling, cure the disease, what do you do with so many words! Hu Dashan became impatient again, "Can you cook well?" ”
There is a precedent for Hu Dashan to get angry two days ago, so as soon as he opened his mouth this time, the people in the family immediately went about their work, and even Hu Zhong didn't dare to cry, sobbing and hiccups.
Li Qin suddenly felt a little funny, this Hu Dashan seemed to support Yu Fei, but he didn't mention the matter of paying back the Ge family's money at all. Yu Fei's money should have been handed over in full, so the Hu family naturally wanted to pay for his medicine, but he didn't mention it as his own uncle, so Hu Zhang's family couldn't say it. Besides, in this family, the small money is here in Hu Zhang's family, and the big money is personally controlled by Hu Dashan, even if Hu Zhang's family wants to take this money, she has to calculate it.
Because of this, the air pressure of the Hu family was low for several days. In a blink of an eye, it is the seventh day of the lunar month.
It is said that "Laqi and Laba, freeze off the chin." "So on this day, everyone will eat some sticky food and stick their mouths together. And because Laba is a festival to pray for a good harvest and auspiciousness, the Hu family, as a farmer, naturally attaches great importance to it. However, there is another point, because Yu Fei is a hunter, so he also wants to make a winter sacrifice on this day, praying for more birds and beasts in the coming year. The three are in one, and the Hu family has a good time, which is naturally much more lively.
A day in advance, the Hu family soaked all kinds of miscellaneous rice. Azuki beans, millet, peanuts, rhubarb rice, bud rice stubble, kidney bean grains, sorghum rice and red dates, a total of eight kinds, this is also the Hu family can take out in addition to all kinds of rice, to the morning of Delaba, you can cook it directly. It is an essential food to pray for a good harvest in the coming year.
As for the evening, everyone will eat sticky rice mixed with sticky sorghum rice and rhubarb rice. This is dry rice, and it is also a pure dry rice that is rare to eat all year round. Spread a little lard on top, and the aroma can drift far away with the heat of the rice.
And the addition of supper is even more sumptuous, and it is a variety of meat after the morning sacrifice. In fact, according to Hu Zhang's character, this meat should be kept until the New Year. After all, after Laba, we began to prepare for the New Year. However, it is said that eating the things sacrificed on this day will be particularly blessed, and will make the wish come true. So even if Hu Zhang's family is distressed, he will let the whole family eat these things. I didn't have such a rich New Year.
I solemnly prepared for Laba for a day, and finally arrived on the day of Laba.
Early in the morning, Hu Dashan put an incense case in the courtyard. On top of it are some frozen pears as fruits, as well as various kinds of rice for Laba porridge, chickens, fish, and meat to be sacrificed. Then a small bowl with a little stove ash in it. Hu Dashan took everyone to kowtow and make a wish, and then lit three incense sticks and inserted them in that small bowl.
After a while, when the incense burned out, everyone began to eat breakfast.
"Do you still need to go to town today?" Hu Dashan came back very late yesterday, Hu Zhang's family fell asleep, and he didn't have time to talk to Hu Dashan, so he asked at this time.
"The busier we get at the end of the year, the later we come back, where can we rest? It would be nice to be able to come back and stay! Hu Dashan said while drinking porridge baldly.
"Under the big festival, won't you be allowed to rest?"
"People don't like this in the town. If it weren't for the fact that we knew we were going to sacrifice, we would have been put to work a long time ago. ”
"Oh." Hu Zhangshi nodded, "Then this owner is also very good, give time to do this!" Saying that, Hu Zhangshi said, "Then can you come back earlier tonight?" There are so many delicious things to eat today, if you come back late—"
"You don't have to wait for me. The owner is so good to us, we should take something over. So, take that chicken over, and thank you to the owner! ”
"This-" Hu Zhangshi is really a little reluctant, this chicken has been fed by her for two years, the big rooster, the crown is fiery red, and the body is very fat. When I slaughtered it yesterday, I made a big bowl of chicken fat alone. The whole chicken can weigh almost ten pounds together! If she just gives it to people, she is really reluctant! Besides, I'm a little tired of eating game at home, and it's easy to eat a meticulous meal.
"What is this, it's just a chicken, I don't know if people can see it!" Hu Dashan glanced at Hu Zhang.
"But, didn't you say that the townspeople like to eat wild game, because they don't usually eat—"
"Are people so rich that they still need a meal of game? Who doesn't know that my Hu Dashan's family is the most lacking in game? Does taking game reflect my heart? Naturally, what is rare in our family should be given away! ”
"Oh." Hu Zhangshi stopped talking.
After eating, Hu Dashan carried a fat chicken, whistled, and walked away with brisk steps.
Li Qin went out to send Yu Fei and happened to see this scene.
"What exactly does my uncle do in town?" Li Qin was a little puzzled, and always felt that Hu Dashan seemed to have something to hide.
"It's a business house, carrying things for people. How many years have you been doing it? Do odd jobs when you're fine. ”
"Odd jobs?" Li Qin pondered, "How much can I earn doing odd jobs?" Why do you still give such a big chicken? "If you don't make much, isn't it a loss?
Yu Fei shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
"Doesn't the eldest cousin go with my uncle? Why didn't the eldest cousin go this time? ”
"I don't know." Yu Fei really didn't know much about this family, so he couldn't reply to Li Qin.
Yu Fei packed up his things and went out with the hound.
Today's wind is like a knife, blowing on the face and causing pain, Li Qin instructed and instructed in the back, telling Yu Fei not to dry his hands too much, otherwise it will be even more serious.
