Chapter 094: Wen Xu, who loves to toss
Early in the morning, when Wen Xu was exercising, he happened to make a detour to Wen Shigui's sheepfold, ready to call the second brother to his house for breakfast, and the two brothers went to the town to see the cattle together. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
With the beams came to Wen Shigui's sheepfold built at the foot of the mountain, the structure of the whole small house has almost come out, saying that it is a house that is really a bit high to look at it, saying that it is a shed is very suitable, there is no wall around at all, four bowl-thick pillars, a few pieces of asbestos tiles are supported in the south highland, and the surrounding is the kind of colored plastic woven cloth sealed with wooden strips, that is, the windows are still like a little, the old windows with glass in the wooden lattice, I don't know where they were removed, and the unfaded red paint can be seen around the top.
The house where people live is not as good as the sheepfold next to it, and the sheepfold is still thick with grass roof.
"Second brother, it's difficult for your house to keep out the rain, right?" Wen Xu turned around, looked inside and outside the house, and said to Wen Shigui, who was busy feeding the sheep.
Wen Shigui smiled at Wen Xu: "It's about to start summer now, and don't underestimate this shed, let alone block the wind and rain, even if it's a goose feather snow, it may not be able to knock down my small shed!"
Wen Xu had no choice but to laugh, seeing Wen Shigui catch a little lamb and touch it, look and look, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong with this little lamb?"
"I saw a little diarrhea yesterday, originally I wanted to feed some medicine, but Mr. Yan didn't let me feed any Western medicine at all, so I asked the old shepherd in another village for a home remedy, I boiled water last night and fed it, and it looks a lot better this morning!" The expression on Wen Shigui's face was not much worried, it seemed that the symptoms of the little lamb's diarrhea had fundamentally improved.
"Home remedies?" Wen Xu couldn't figure out why the sheep on his side had diarrhea, and none of the sheep he turned out of the space had diarrhea.
Of course, Wen Xu doesn't go much, and he doesn't care about his flock, maybe some sheep also have diarrhea, but Wen Xu doesn't know.
"Well, the little sheep here will have a diarrhea or something from time to time, I don't know how to do it, the big sheep is not like this, I asked the old sheepherd, told him the symptoms of the sheep, people can't tell what is going on, only said that it doesn't look like a multiple ......disease," Wen Shigui let go of the lamb in his hand and said.
At this time, Second Sister-in-law You came over, said hello to Wen Xu, and asked, "Shixu, looking for your second brother to go to town?"
"Yes, second sister-in-law, by the way, I will ask my second brother to go to my house with you for breakfast!" Wen Xu said.
Second sister-in-law You waved her hand and said, "Let your second brother go, there are so many sheep here, you can't leave!"
Wen Shigui also smiled when he heard this: "You better go back and eat by yourself, I'll go over when I'm busy here, I really can't stand the effort you spent on eating a meal, if I watch you cook a meal, I have to have a heart attack!"
Not to mention Wen Shigui, the entire Wenjia Village knows that Wen Xu is a picky mouth, and every meal has to be carefully cooked, even if it is a bowl of stick noodle porridge, so that Wen Xu can make it too many tricks than others, for the villagers of Wenjia Village, spending a large part of their time every day on how to eat is obviously not something that a serious Zhuang family should do.
Everyone has a little opinion of Wen Xu in their hearts, but because the seniority of this product is too high, and he also has the ability, so everyone didn't say it openly.
Hearing these two people say this, Wen Xu didn't persuade him much: "Then second brother, why are you going to me somewhere, let's try to go early and return early! Yesterday I also called the brick and tile factory in the town and asked them to send two cars to Liyu Bay!"
"What are you buying bricks for? You don't want to build any kind of house again, do you?" Wen Shigui asked immediately.
Wen Xu smiled: "I'm not fooling around, I just want to build an oven, the bigger kind, if you want to bake bread, old geese, ducks or whatever."
Yesterday and a group of little babies said to bake bread for them, originally talking nonsense, but after the babies left, Wen Xu himself was a little hungry for his own baked bread, so he thought about getting a stove to bake bread, and then felt that building a stove to bake bread was a bit blind, simply build a bigger one, sometimes visitors can also bake some chicken, goose or something, so it took more than half an hour, Wen Xu himself designed a brick wood oven.
Wen Shigui listened and said: "Isn't this called foolishness? In order to eat something, did you toss out a stove and pull two carts of bricks, how big do you have to build your furnace to use two carts of bricks?"
"It's big or small!" Wen Xu said with a smile, and he didn't take the second brother's words to heart.
"Brother, sister-in-law, if you don't go, I'll go back first?" Wen Xu finished greeting and prepared to walk home.
Wen Shigui immediately stopped Wen Xu when he heard this: "Shixu, our elder brother has discussed it for a few times during this time, thinking that in a few days we will repair the tombs of several ancestors, the stele should be depicted, and the soil of the grave should be added, as for the old tomb, I will see if the current mound head can be changed to lime cement with stone, and if it doesn't work, I have to use bricks to ...... it all at once."
Slowly, Wen Shigui said his brother's thoughts, Wen Xu didn't have much opposition to the matter of repairing the tomb, and he couldn't talk about too much support, in Wen Xu's opinion, no matter how good the tomb is, it also needs people to sacrifice, and it doesn't make much sense to use money stickers to worship the tomb that no one worships.
However, the elder brother's thoughts on repairing the tomb are not easy to dismiss, how to say that this matter is a piece of filial piety of the descendants in the eyes of outsiders, and everyone agrees with you to repair the ancestral tomb but you are dragging your feet, how do you look at this matter, it looks like a fool is a fool, Wen Xu is not stupid, and there is no shortage of money in hand.
"I don't have any opinion, if everyone wants to do this, then fix it!" Wen Xu said.
"It's not that simple, we calculated the cost before and after, and it took more than 60,000 yuan to live, including artificial stones, cement mortar, and so on," Wen Shigui said.
"How much is the gap?" Wen Xu thought that the second brother wanted to make himself pay some money so much, after all, there were not many wealthy families in the village, and more than 60,000 yuan was not a big deal for him now.
Wen Shigui waved his hand and joked: "It's not about money, it's everyone's ancestral grave and it's not yours alone, you kid wants to rush to show his heart to the ancestors, and we're not happy yet!"
Eighteen tea trees and the tea produced by everyone praises, which makes the old people in the village from time to time think of the good of their ancestors during this time, so they began to prepare to build the ancestral tomb, in order to pretend that they are poor, this year everyone is good to say too much.
"What's that?" Wen Xu couldn't guess at this moment.
"Those friends of yours, those people with the surname Xu!"
"This is!" Wen Xu's heart was even more confused, didn't he say that he was repairing the ancestral tomb, what are these people doing?
The next sentence Wen Shigui unveiled the mystery: "They have all seen the world, why don't you ask them to help us design it, and make the ancestral tomb at home more foreign, and someone will come to visit our old tea tree in the future, and it won't be too shabby to look at our ancestral tomb next to it, right?"
Wen Shigui has been the village chief for half his life, his knowledge is limited, and when he saw the homestay designed by Xu Daxin, he suddenly had a shocking feeling, thinking that this house could not be built!
It turned out to be this question! Wen Xu understood now.
"I said second brother, let's not do any Western style in the ancestral tomb, the ancestors of the old tomb may not be able to eat, and these places in the old tomb are all from the Ming Dynasty, we saw that all foreigners were still barbarians at that time, let's give the ancestors the whole barbarian tomb, you say the ancestors are not bad!" Wen Xu said nonsense.
When Wen Shigui heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and thought for a while before saying, "It's really this reason!"
"Just take the stone and build a round tomb, at most, when everyone has the money to use a white marble fence for the ancestors, it is enough to add a sacrificial table or something, it is too fancy, and it is troublesome now," Wen Xu said.
"Okay, why don't we go to the Mausoleum of the Sun Yat-sen and learn from it?"
"How dare you think about it!" Wen Xu was amused by the second brother's thoughts: "You go, I don't dare to go!"
Seeing Wen Xu raise his feet to leave, Wen Shigui said out loud again: "There is another thing, the price of livestock today may be a little higher, five hundred more expensive than the normal price, but livestock is a good livestock, the big brown donkey with stone eyes, it was a good livestock that ran a thousand a day and eight hundred at night, and Lao Gui is really a good eye."
When Wen Xu heard the stone eyes, he put his feet back again: "What stone eyes?"
Hearing about the brown donkey, the black donkey, and the gray donkey, Wen Xu had never heard of a donkey called Cindy Eyes.
Wen Shigui said: "Stone Eyes are looking for the eyes of a donkey, I can't understand at this time, because I have never seen a donkey with Stone Eyes, but this old guy is very excited, saying that this kind of donkey endurance is a first-class durability among all mules and horses......"
To be honest, Wen Xu didn't believe it, what ran a thousand times a day and eight hundred nights, not to mention a donkey, even a horse cultivated by modern animal husbandry can't do this, and the donkey can be so durable It is estimated that the endurance of an ordinary donkey is a little better.
But although he thought so in his heart, when he listened to what the second brother said, Wen Xu still couldn't stop nodding. Waiting for the second brother to finish speaking, Wen Xu's heart was so big that he depicted such an image: a tall body, strong and powerful four legs, and the whole body could understand that there was an endless sense of strength at a glance.
After chatting with Wen Shigui about the donkey with the stone eyes, Wen Xu jogged back to his small courtyard and began to make breakfast for himself.
The so-called Hu Tan is Wen Xu's old dialect, with flour and green onions mixed together to stir and paste, and then put oil in the pot, let the oil evenly stain the pot around, can not show a little empty, wait for the fire is big enough, the pot is hot enough when it is just right, scoop a spoonful of paste into the pot and spread out, if you want to be a little more delicious, you can add eggs and leeks on the spread of the dough.
Don't look at the local dishes, the thieves who eat them have an appetite, and Wen Xu directly killed two pieces of Hu stall and drank a big bowl of preserved eggs and lean porridge.
After eating, Wen Xu washed the bowl and brushed the pot, and was about to go out of the pot house, when he saw that the scum food bowl was already light, and the shadow of the person could be seen, and it had already run away before, but today this thing is still in the pot house, sticking out his head and looking at the black squirrel on the branch, wanting to go out crazy but not daring to take the lead, it is very unbearable.
For scum, the black squirrel may be the black demon king!
"Demon King!" Wen Xu thought it was a good name, so the name of the black squirrel was decided.
"Don't fight this thing, how can you say that you are not a blessing in disguise, are you?" Wen Xu shouted at the Dark Lord, and then pointed at the scum cowering in the doorway.
"Squeak, squeak!"
The Dark Lord jumped on the branches, waving the shelled pine nuts in his hands.
"Forget it, you can toss it!" Wen Xu couldn't understand whether the Dark Lord agreed or opposed, so he decided to toss them however he wanted, and not interfere with himself!
