Chapter 285: Prelude to the May Festival

When the troublemakers returned, it was relatively easy, the earthen basket was left, and one person walked back with a flat pole, and the head was replaced by a Li lock.

This guy is striding like a meteor, walking like a fly, and he is probably thinking about proposing to him.

After the team entered the village, they saw Bigfoot's sister-in-law running out of the house: "Lock, someone has proposed to you, go home and pack up, and come to your house to see it later." ”

Li Suozi listened, and ran away without a trace. The other young men quit and surrounded the sister-in-law with big feet, the sister-in-law was long and the sister-in-law was short, and they all made a noise, "When will you introduce me to someone?"

"I'm as anxious as a monkey, don't worry, it's estimated that there will be people who will come to propose marriage one after another. It's all tense, a little outstanding, don't look like you haven't seen your daughter-in-law in your eight lifetimes - fatty, what are you doing with it, don't get in the way, I'll go back to the house to greet the guests. ”

"Hehe, I'm just going to take a look. The fat man happened to be stuck in the road home of Bigfoot's sister-in-law, he moved his body, and then said to the boys: "Bigfoot sister-in-law is right, we can't catch a radish is a vegetable, any crooked melon and cracked dates are okay." ”

When the boys heard this, they all straightened up and dispersed. The fat man didn't have to get involved in this, and slowly slipped into the house. I saw the flower-faced fox leaning against the window basking in the sun, and the three little chicks chirping next to its paws. The flower-faced fox bent into a bow shape, encircled the three chicks in front of him, and if he wanted to run, he gently pulled the chicks back under his control with his paws.

Fat Daqi: It is said that foxes love to steal chickens, look at our foxes, the whole chicken nanny. So he called out a big fish and threw it to the flower-faced fox as a source of encouragement. This guy is not polite, he gnawed on the fish with peace of mind, and the little chicken was also picking up meat scraps next to him, and ran all over the yard with his mouth in his mouth.

After squatting there and watching for a long time, the fat man entered the house, sat there and began to sort out the newspaper. Mao Mao also squatted on the bench, holding a book in his hand, his eyes were rolling, he was not a good student at first glance, and the book was taken down. After a while, Qiqi's voice sounded outside: "Honghong is really good, there are a lot of chickens." ”

Then I saw three black shadows swishing out of the window, and then the parrot and the starling wah-wah also flew out. The door of the outhouse slammed, and then there was a strong crunch, probably a stupid rush out.

"If you can't do it, you have to change the iron door. The fat man put down the People's Daily in his hand and muttered a sentence in his mouth.

"Popular movie!" After the big pigtail entered the house, he immediately cheered, grabbed it, and sat on the edge of the kang to read a book.

Kiki also ran in, grabbed children's literature and childhood, squeaked and jumped onto the kang, stretched his two little legs forward, and the book was sandwiched on it, and read it with taste.

The fat man coughed twice: "I will do my homework and cook." ”

The two girls didn't listen to it at all, they all got into the book. The fat man scratched his head: "Let's go cook." ”

It's June in a blink of an eye, and these days, the fat man goes to get the dragon pond when he has nothing to do, and now six have been built. He also made a few more trips to Nanwazi, and brought back tens of thousands of earthworms from there, all of which were scattered into the No. 2 pool, and the remaining four were still empty for the time being.

Gradually, the fat man also found a problem, although the feed is the same, but the earthworms in the No. 2 pool seem to grow faster, and there are more small earthworms with thin lines in it.

After thinking for a while, the fat man felt that there was only one possibility: most of these earthworms had been packed in wooden boxes, perhaps under some kind of influence.

After all, it's a good thing, so the fat man doesn't care about it, and when the pool is divided in the future, try to use the earthworms in the No. 2 pool as seeds.

When I returned home, I saw Qiqi and Lin Lao sitting face to face on the kang, stacking gourds with colored paper. There are already several of them on the side, blowing them squarely, and the bottom is cut into ears more than half a foot long with multicolored paper.

"As for handicrafts, Kiki is really ingenious. "For Qiqi, the fat man has always been willing to praise hard.

"Fat uncle, tomorrow is the May Day. Qi Qi said beautifully, then put the folded gourd on his lips, and blew hard, and then puffed up another one.

The fat man patted his head vigorously: "Look at my brain, I live in a daze all day long, I have to have a good time during the Dragon Boat Festival, this is a traditional festival in our country." ”

As he was talking, the big braid came back from outside, holding a long multicolored thread in his hand, which he had asked for from the girl who knew how to embroider flowers in the village.

When Qiqi saw it, he hurriedly stretched out his little hand and neck, and tied her colorful thread with a big braid. Suddenly, I saw a big hand stretched out: "I'll have one too, so that the insect prince will send his men to trouble me." ”

It is said that children can tie children firmly, be safe and sound, and are not afraid of all kinds of insect infestation.

"Fat uncle, you are such an adult, you are still afraid of insects. ”

"Then you don't have to be afraid, when the insects see you, they can't wait to kiss you. ”

The big pigtail smiled and watched the big and small fights, and when Qiqi's hands and ankles were tied, he also tied a circle around the fat man's hands and neck, and the colorful threads were gone.

Kiki wrinkled his little nose and dug into the placket of the front of his neck: "I still have this." ”

When the fat man saw it, it turned out to be a purse, very finely sewn, and a lotus flower was embroidered on it. When you put your nose up and smell it, the aroma is strong, but it exudes a freshness, without any kitsch.

"Whoever gave it, it must be the old Yaozi grandpa, right?" The fat man guessed the old medicine when he saw that the aroma was good.

said that Cao Cao Cao was coming, and as soon as there was a knock on the door of the outhouse, Lao Yaozi walked in, carrying Xiaoyan in one hand and a big fish in the other: "It's a holiday, give you some gifts to the fat man." ”

"Uncle Yaozi, can you eat this fish with paper paste?" The fat man Da Le, this big fish is made of paper paste, with fish scales and eyes traced on it, and a thread hanging from the middle of the body. And the little swallow is sewn with red plastic skin, and the inside is bulging, and it is estimated that it is stuffed with cotton.

"This one was hung on the curtain pole, and your aunt said that no one in your family could do it, so she got a double portion. The old medicine man handed the things to the braids, and then tied them to the rods of the curtain, and hung them with ropes, and swayed as if they were able to move.

The two parrots had the lightest eyelids, flying around the little swallows, and their mouths were chirping vigorously. The fat man couldn't help but snort: "If you get to the seer again, I will hang you too!"

Lin Lao and Lao Yaozi were closer: "I saw a lot of mugwort on the hillside, and I will go to pick some of them later, just to tie the gourd, and then insert them into the doors and windows." ”

"Yes, we pick it every year. The old medicine agreed.

As soon as Qiqi heard this, he jumped to the ground to find the basket, and the fat man was idle, so the whole family went out, and even the hairy old brother and Ben Ben hugged each other. Halfway down the road, I saw a lot of wild boys carrying small baskets containing mugwort more than a foot long.

The fat man really hadn't seen this thing, so he stopped one and grabbed two: "It's similar to an ordinary artemisia, but there is a layer of gray hair on it." ”

Then put it under his nose and sniffed it, and couldn't help sneezing: "The smell is really rushing, Uncle Sanpao used to smoke mosquitoes, and it seems that he used this." ”

Qiqi also leaned his little nose over, only to feel that the fragrance was rich, and after smelling it, he was refreshed and even more happy.

Lin Lao said with a smile: "This mugwort is amazing in ancient times, and it is the most commonly used medicinal material. The ancients said that acupuncture, acupuncture is acupuncture, and burning is to use mugwort leaves to ignite to smoke. ”

"That's what I used to do. The big braid couldn't help laughing: "When I read ancient texts, there are often records of this, I thought it must be very mysterious, and I didn't expect to use mugwort." ”

"That's why I have to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. "In fact, the fat man is also understanding this problem for the first time, and sometimes, theory and practice are not connected.

Everyone talked and laughed, and when they left the village, there were clumps of wild artemisia growing on the grass. The characteristics of mugwort are obvious, one is gray in color, and the other is unique in aroma, so everyone quickly picked a handful, and after a while, the basket was full.

"Generally, people have to pick some mugwort leaves every year to dry, when this thing is lit, the light smokes but does not catch fire, the smell is spicy, and it is most suitable for repelling mosquitoes. In addition, after confinement, most women also use mugwort leaves to boil soup and bathe. "The old medicine man gave the fat man another lesson in the popularization of medicinal herb knowledge.

Lin Lao also nodded slightly: "And the more the Ai Ye is older, the better, Mencius records that 'seven years of illness, seek three years of Ai'." "He and Lao Yaozi complement each other, one is a native village doctor, and the other is a scholar with profound theories.

Tell them to carry the basket and go back together. When he arrived at the door of the house, the fat man slapped his thigh suddenly: "I almost forgot about the big thing!" After speaking, he ran to the captain's house.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Aunt Li and her daughter-in-law making zongzi, using soaked rhubarb rice and stuffing a large red date inside.

"When it's ready, don't forget to send some to Kiki. The fat man saw Erya squatting next to her and watched the excitement, so he patted her on the brain.

Erya squatted there and looked back, and then said, "My grandmother said, when it is cooked, send more, and the fat uncle can eat it." ”

The fat man said twice, then he entered the house and muttered to Captain Li for a while, Captain Li went to the production team, and the fat man went to Bigfoot's sister-in-law's house.

After a while, Captain Li's voice came from the loudspeaker: "Everyone, pay attention, tomorrow will be the May Festival, everyone will go to the chicken farm to get eggs, and have a good holiday." ”

When the little babies heard this, they jumped up with joy. It is a tradition to eat eggs on May Day, but at most one or two can be divided every year, and they are reluctant to eat it in their pockets, and finally the egg skin is all crumbled.

The fat man was also happy to bring back a basket of eggs, Lin Qingshan, Wang Er was stunned, and they were all inside. When he got home, the fat man washed the eggs and slipped them in along the edge of the pot.

I grabbed a small handful of tea leaves and sprinkled them in, then put peppercorns and fennel or something, and finally grabbed a few handfuls of salt and sprinkled them in. Qiqi was happy when he saw it: "Uncle Fat boils tea eggs-"

After boiling for a few minutes, the fat man takes a spoon and slowly beats the egg with the bottom of the spoon to break the egg skin into small pieces, and then you can taste it.

Half a pot of eggs is enough for a fat man to beat for half an hour. The two clumsy slapped on the edge of the pot and stretched out their heads to look into the pot. The fat man hurriedly told Kiki to get it outside. Good fellow, if you crush the pot, no one will have to eat.

After more than an hour, even the soup and eggs were fished into the big pot, Qiqi was anxious, and fished with a spoon, but was stopped by the fat man: "Put it in for a night, and it will be hot again tomorrow morning, and the taste will be more sufficient." ”

"Let's try two first. Wang Er came back from work in a daze, and when he saw the fragrant tea eggs in his nose, he didn't care about the hot hands, and took out one and ate it.

The skin has been dyed with brown, revealing the fragrance of tea leaves and spices, take a bite, full of taste, an egg, two bites on the stomach.

Naturally, everyone else couldn't hold it back, even Lin Lao took out one to enjoy, and the fat man couldn't help scratching his head when he saw this posture: "You don't wait for tomorrow to eat—just eat it too!"
