Chapter 122: Gift-giving
After more than an hour, wait for the mud in the furnace to dry and then go up for the second time, and then for the third time, as the mud is put on again and again, the mud layer in the furnace is getting thicker and stronger, and there is no crack in the slightest. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Hey, it's getting late!" Yan Dong said as he scooped the mud with a plastering board with one hand.
"I know it's late!" Wen Xu smeared the last layer of mud into the hearth, and this layer of mud was much thinner than the previous ones.
The stomach of the harsh winter made a gurgling sound, so the goods reached out and touched the stomach: "I mean it's late, it's time to eat!" I've heard in Mingzhu that you are particular about eating now, why don't you pay attention to it when I come? Look at what time it is, it's almost half past six, and at your speed, it is estimated that it will be eight o'clock when this meal is ready, and it will not be half past eight to eat? Hurry up, I'm going crazy hungry! ”
Wen Xu stuck his head out of the hearth, patted the mud on his hands, and then bent down to pick up the muddy water in the small bucket and washed the mud on his hands: "It's easy tonight, just eat some porridge and distill some cakes!" ”
"What? Eat this at night! As soon as Yan Dong heard the porridge cake in the evening, he was immediately unhappy: "I'm busy with you here for so long, you just give me this for dinner, are you sorry?" I told you that you would get me a potato roast goose tonight, and I was thinking about this on the way here."
"I'm going to kill a goose for you this day? What time is it to eat? Wen Xu lifted two small buckets and put them on the back of the white ox, then picked up the firewood on the ground and began to build hay into the hearth, and then put the first layer of firewood on the hay and put about twenty sticks on the first layer, and then put on the last twenty or so sticks, so that the first base was finished when it came to the smoke outlet, and then lit the hay and observed the hay and lit the first dry firewood, and the whole thing was burned, and then the lid of the cast iron furnace door was closed, and the furnace door was locked with a big lock, and then he was ready to lead the white cow away.
Yan Dong asked curiously, "Why do you still lock the furnace door?" ”
"If these bear children in the village don't lock it up, maybe I can extinguish my fire with water just after I burn it here, it's all a bunch of crazy things without a score, how dare I bet on this, it took a whole day to get it, don't let them ruin me," Wen Xu said.
Yan Dong carried the trowel board in his hand and followed behind Bai Niu: "You can't get a goose at night, I tell you that I don't eat porridge now, as soon as I eat this thing, I think of my life in the past, almost every month I have to eat steamed buns for several days waiting for the salary ......."
Wen Xu entered the yard, and when he heard this thing, he still nagged, so he said: "You eat first and then talk about whether it's okay, if you really don't want to eat, I'll change something else for you, but at least you don't have to think about the potato roast goose tonight, I've been busy for a day, and you should snicker if you can still cook some hot food for you, and make so many requests!" ”
"Then eat potatoes and roast goose at noon tomorrow?" As soon as Yan Dong heard this, he knew that he didn't think about it tonight, and put his hope on tomorrow noon.
"Don't think about it tomorrow at noon, tomorrow's stove is just right, and I have to prepare flour in the morning, and I have already ground three or four kinds of flour here, and I don't know which one is better," Wen Xu said.
In order to make the bread that satisfies him, Wen Xu prepared three or four kinds of flour, which were ground to different levels, some thick and fine, and when the time came to make bread, one was made of each thickness, and then mixed with semolina and fine flour, waiting for the baking to see which one was suitable, and then slowly adjusting the recipe, which is a delicate job.
"You're good enough! People make a bread directly with a bread machine, and the thing is swung into it and the machine will make it for you. You've spent so much effort and money to eat bread, do you think bread or goose is worth more? ”
Wen Xu glanced back at the goods: "What's wrong with you this trip, are you pregnant?" ”
"You're pregnant!"
"You're not pregnant, what mouths do you choose, what do you eat! Like a confinement woman, I ordered food for dinner, I clearly tell you, there will be no goose at noon tomorrow, and there will be no goose at night, you still have to wait for the next trip to eat, this time it is your bad luck" Wen Xu said.
Yan Dong asked, "Not at noon the day after tomorrow?" ”
"You're going to stay here the day after tomorrow?" Wen Xu asked in surprise.
"I'm going to stay here for four or five days, it's not your village to set up a banquet after five days, and this time I'm also on a mission, in addition to you, three new sunshine greenhouses produce vegetables for the first time, and I can represent the company to settle the first account for a few of them, in order to show a little grandeur I came early!" Yan Dong said.
"Oh!" Wen Xu understood now, and asked casually: "You gave all the money?" ”
The first batch of sunshine greenhouses is three, Guangsong's family is one, Guangsheng, Guang'an and Guangping have partnered to build two, and the production of vegetables is not a matter of these two days, the first batch of vegetables came out ten days ago, but the toss of Wen Xudu in the past ten days did not care much about this matter.
Now it seems that the harsh winter came to give them the first money in person, and it is estimated that everyone will be happy about this matter.
"Yes, not a single cent! The test is also completely up to standard, although it is a little worse than the quality of your dishes, but it is still better than those imported from Europe! Yan Dong said with a smile.
"Just give it!" Wen Xu said.
Wen Xu began to wash his hands and cook, and was responsible for lighting the fire in the harsh winter.
At this time, Wen Guangsong's family, as well as Guangsheng, Guang'an and Guangping, the three old bachelors, looked at the money in front of them in disbelief.
Rushed the child to bed early, a family of three just looked at the money on the table and was stunned, the output of a greenhouse for half a month, replaced by a small stack of tickets, although it doesn't look too much, a little thin, but the three people around the table are not stupid, simple arithmetic is still no problem, we all know that as long as there are four or five such sunshine greenhouses, their family can survive in a month can be two or three times more than the income of working in a big city, and the income of white-collar workers in big cities is so doubled.
"Guangsong, are there really so many?" Wen Guangsong's mother-in-law didn't believe it a little, the money on her table was half a month's output of her own greenhouse.
Xu Xinghua was also stunned and looked at the money on the table, in the past, the two of them were busy in the workshop for a month, and there was only so much to get for a tired person, the most important thing is that the management of this greenhouse is really much better than farming, and it doesn't take too much effort to be in the field, and the melons, fruits and vegetables are growing one after another.
Now these things are tickets, Xu Xinghua feels that there are not vegetables growing in her greenhouse, they are all red grandpa hair.
"Two or three months, a greenhouse can earn back a big tiled house for our family! I'm not dreaming," Xu Xinghua said.
Guang Song is a big man in the end, he hugged the money on the table, put it neatly on his daughter-in-law's hand, and then put the clothes on the stool and put them on his shoulders and stood up.
"What are you going for?" Xu Xinghua asked.
Guangsong said: "I went to my uncle's house and asked him if he could borrow some money, and I took the greenhouse as a mortgage and expanded four or five greenhouses!" ”
"Yes, yes!" Xu Xinghua nodded hurriedly, and then said: "Uncle showed us a way, we can't go empty-handed, although Uncle Xiaoxu has everything at home, but it is always our little heart to bring more and less!" ”
Hearing what his daughter-in-law said, Wen Guangsong sat down again, and the family sat around the table and thought for a while, only then did they find that they had more headaches. Because the three of them thought about it, they didn't think that Wen Xu lacked anything now, in their opinion, Wen Xu now lacks nothing but his daughter-in-law, but the three of them also know that they don't have the ability to go and send Wen Xu's daughter-in-law over now!
After thinking for a while, Guangsong stood up again: "You bring out the two bottles of wine under the bed for me!" ”
"Where can I take the wine, there is naturally no problem with giving it to others, but I can't give it to Uncle Xiaoxu, a bottle is more than 100 yuan, and it is not shameful enough to carry it in my hand" Xu Xinghua hurriedly said.
The people in the village have a weighing in their hearts, and it can be seen from the gifts that it is inappropriate to give away more than two bottles of wine, and now Wen Xu is at least at the level of a county magistrate in the hearts of this family.
Wen Guangsong said: "Then what to send?" This is the most expensive thing in the house! Bring it to me, let's just mean something, what Uncle Xiaoxu lacks, what we can send is a heart! ”
Hearing her husband say this, Xu Xinghua went into the house and lifted out the two bottles of wine from under the bed, blew the ash on the box, and then found a clean towel to wipe the wine box clean, and bundled the wine together before handing it over to her husband.
Wen Guangsong went out with two bottles of wine and turned to the left.
"Hiromatsu, what are you?"
As soon as he went out, Wen Guangsong met Wen Guangren, and when he saw Wen Guangsong coming out, Wen Guangren asked, looking down, he didn't know what kind of wine Wen Guangsong was holding in his hand by starlight, but he knew at a glance that this was wine, and it was the kind of packaging that seemed to be very high-grade.
"I'm going to sit at Uncle Cozy's house!" Wen Guangsong said with a smile.
"Oh, I want to talk to you about something!" Wen Guangren said with a smile, and then immediately said: "Then you go first, I'll look for you tomorrow."
There is no need for Wen Guangren to explain, Wen Guangsong also knows what his cousin is looking for him, since today's harsh winter, after Mr. Yan sat at home, a group of brothers and nephews came to inquire about how much money his greenhouse had paid in the past half month, Wen Guangsong's head was about to be asked.
"Then Brother Guangren, I'll go first?" After speaking, Wen Guangsong walked briskly, at this time, Wen Guangsong didn't have time to take care of his cousin, thinking about how much income five greenhouses could bring to his family in a month, and his mind was full of Grandpa Mao.
Wen Guangren walked back for less than ten meters, and when he looked up, he met Wen Guangsheng's brother again.
"Brother Guangsheng, you guys are also going to Uncle Xiaoxu's house?" Wen Guangren asked.
"Brother Guangren" Wen Guangping is young, so he said hello to Wen Guangren.
"yes, who else has gone in your tone?" After Wen Guangsong finished speaking, he added: "Guangsong? ”
Wen Guangren understood everything in his heart now, knowing that he didn't need to inquire about his affairs, if Wen Xu didn't make money, how could there be such a thing, not only to make money, but also to make a lot of money!
"Who else but him, go too!" Wen Guangren said and stepped out of the way.
As soon as Guangsheng left, Wen Guangren ran to his house, preparing to go home and discuss with his family whether he was ready to do it.
Wen Xu was sitting face-to-face with Yan Dong and the two brothers at the small table, eating porridge and picking salted goose eggs on the cake.
"Uh-huh!" In the harsh winter, he took out the goose egg and put it in his mouth, and then poured a mouthful of cake and a mouthful of porridge, and the beautiful one hummed.
Wen Xu said in disgust: "Don't make a pig-like sound as soon as you eat, you can be regarded as a person with an ID card now!" ”
"What ID card is not ID card, I have an identity and not an ID card, I already have an ID card! The first time I ate salted goose eggs, I didn't expect this guy to be much better than duck eggs, and they were big, so enjoyable! "Winter's eyes never left the goose eggs in his hands.
"I've eaten two, and you're not too salty!" Wen Xu said.
Yan Dong said: "Let's go and bring me some, I'll go back to eat, I didn't expect this thing to be served with some millet porridge, plus a few pieces of sauerkraut cake, so enjoyable!" ”
"Okay!"
At this moment, Wen Guangsong came to the door and knocked on the door: "Uncle, is Mr. Yan at home?" ”
"Guangsong, there is no bolt at the gate, we are eating in the pot house, come in!" Wen Xu heard Wen Guangsong's voice as soon as he heard it.
Hearing Wen Xu say this, Wen Guangsong pushed open the door and entered the courtyard, and just turned around to close the courtyard door, he heard Wen Guangsheng's voice outside.
"Don't close, there are still people!"
As soon as the four brothers saw each other, they found that they were carrying things in their hands on both sides, and they knew what each family was thinking, so they couldn't help but smile at each other, and they entered the pot house with each other's humility.
As soon as he heard that someone was coming, Yan Dong put away his casual posture with Wen Xu, and both his sitting posture and demeanor returned to the boss's style.
"What are you doing here?" Wen Xu saw the four people standing at the door, each carrying something in their hands, and couldn't help frowning, and said unhappily.
Guangsheng smiled: "Uncle, let's send you something here, you and Mr. Yan don't dislike it, it's not a good thing, and it's not worth much......
"Don't talk to me about that! I think I'm short of something? If you want to throw it down, don't go into my yard, and if you really want to send something, get me some pond lotus root, wild fish, mussel loach, etc., these things will suit my appetite."
When the four of them heard Wen Xu say this, they couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and then each found a stool and sat down.
At this time, whether it was scum or a pillar, they all looked up at the four people at the door, and they didn't understand what the situation was today, so many people came to have dinner, and the small pot house was almost full.
What the two dogs didn't know was that Wenjia Village was destined to be impossible to be peaceful tonight.
