Chapter 116: Dragon Boat Festival
The city reported the mysterious aroma of cherries one after another, and Zhang Niu was stupid and unclear about this.
If Li Guangfei hadn't called later, Zhang Niu would have known about it, and the fat man on the side would have heard it clearly.
"The good boy has reported it, and he won't worry about the cherries not being sold in the future." With joy on his face.
If Zhang Niu even ran out to publicize it in the past, now Zhang Niu doesn't like to be famous, many people squeeze their heads and want to make newspaper headlines, if they let others know this thought, they will definitely find scolding.
Zhang Niu shook his head, "Fortunately, in this newspaper, there are only special photos of fragrant cherries, if I am taken in, it will be difficult for this place to be clean." Sighed.
"How old are you, you have learned to sigh, isn't it a good thing to be famous, my brother still wants to use your name to beat the fame of my orchard." You can see what kind of fame the fat man is playing with his face.
"Report, it's a lot of trouble, don't you see that the star hates the paparazzi." Zhang Niu didn't know what to say.
Looking at Zhang Niu's eyes, it is not a fake, this kid has learned to retreat to the mountains and forests
"Brother, I really haven't seen you as a superb man, don't say I'm your friend when you go out in the future, it's a shame."
This guy, Zhang Niu really has nothing to say.
"Boy. Do you remember the long-legged woman who came out that day? The fat man rubbed his forehead. Suddenly asked.
I don't know how the fat man asked about this. Again, he replied, "Yes." Isn't it just scolding your long-legged beauty Brother Pig? β
"I just thought about it. Newspaper photograph on the ground. It should have been the girl who slapped the ground. Said categorically.
"Fatty. Don't brag. Isn't it just a girl? Put this name on your head. You're amazing. "Teased.
The fat man pretended to be mysterious and said, "You don't know. So you have to go out and learn more when you're young. If I hadn't seen this newspaper today. I'm afraid this man will forget about it. I remember the girl holding a big bag in her hand. That's the camera. β
This fat man is a little bit of a circle. Even Zhang Niu had to speak out after hearing it. Admire.
Zhang Niu couldn't remember clearly, and replied vaguely, "It seems that there is, and when you walk, you will observe others." β
No, the fat man put on the appearance of a wise man again, "People must learn to listen to all directions and see the six ways, this is the superior, and the opportunities are all around." β
"There's a callβ"
In the fat man's trouser belt, the mobile phone rings.
Walking into the distance, I saw the fat man nodding at the mobile phone from time to time, and then walked back after a while.
"The phone call from home came, don't go back to eat zongzi, and cherries, buy some and let the family taste it." said to Zhang Niu with a smile.
It turned out to be a phone call from home, "Okay, don't mention buying words, if it weren't for your help, this cherry wouldn't be able to solve it for a while." β
Zhang Niu said this, forget about the fat man, the cherries in the semi-plastic basket, and two pots of iron trees, this iron tree fat man has to give money.
Loaded into the car, the fat man said hello, turned on the car, and walked away.
I didn't think that today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and this day is really fast.
With a fork tail in his hand, the car was not ridden. Walking leisurely on the way back to the village.
"Zhang Wa, what kind of fish is this, we haven't seen it in our village yet." As soon as I walked to the head of the village, I met Uncle Shengming coming back with a load of grass.
"Forktail, Guangdong fish fingerling, specializing in fish droplets." Smile and answer.
The tender grass on the hill, this is better than going out early in the morning, picking up two loads of grass and coming back, wiping the sweat on the ground on his head, "It's still a rare commodity, how about the price." β
Sheng Ming knew that Zhang Niu raised fish, but he didn't know what they were, and it was rare to be able to meet them, so he asked by the way.
"We don't know on our side, they are more than six pounds per catty, as long as six to seven catties of ground look, the heavier it is, the price will be deducted."
Katsuaki wondered. The bigger the fish, the more the price does not rise but falls, what is the reason.
Looking at the doubts on Sheng Ming's face, he naturally knew what he was thinking, he had just heard it from others before, and he didn't have the same expression as Uncle Sheng Ming.
shook the fork tail in his hand, "This fish is not eaten by ordinary people, mainly because the workers in the city buy a lot of land, between four catties and five catties can just be solved by one meal, too big no one likes, the money is wasted, and it can't be eaten." β
"Oh, the people in this city are really mouthful, in our village, a meal of ten catties of fish, a meal is not enjoyable.
The two chatted for a while. Step through the door.
I met my mother who came back from carrying mulberry leaves in the firewood house, "I'm back, the dumplings in the pot are all cooked, the double ground is chestnut meat, and the single is colored beans, go get it yourself." β
In this Dragon Boat Festival, every family makes zongzi, and a tuft of wormwood folded back by the stream is inserted in front of the door, with a faint fragrance.
"Brother, eat zongziβ"
As soon as she stepped into the kitchen, the little sister ran out of the room, it seemed that she was going to school, and she was still biting the steaming rice dumplings in her mouth.
"Be careful when you walk, be reckless and pay attention next time." Seeing this anxious look, Zhang Niu still had to take out the shelf of being a brother.
Walking into the house, in the mud stove cauldron, steaming, the lid of the pot was lifted, and a large pot of zongzi was in the pot, which seemed to have just been cooked and had not been taken out yet.
Take out a single rope and tie the ground colored bean dumplings. It was hot when it was just taken out, and the zongzi was tossed around in Zhang Niu's hands to let the zongzi cool down slightly.
Tear open the bamboo leaves, revealing white glutinous rice, and blow on the zongzi. When you bite into it, you can see the filling inside.
This dumpling
You can eat three in one meal, and the filling is delicious, but if you just eat the filling, it tastes good.
My father went to the field to pick mulberry leaves, turned around and went back to the kitchen, took out a few rice dumplings, put them in a plastic bag, and gave a few to my father to taste while they were hot.
Now spring silkworms, most people have already raised. This is not a day to be busy picking mulberry leaves, the family did not want to raise, the mother had to say that there was nothing to do, so I had to agree to raise silkworms.
"This little brother, can you ask something?" Just walked out to the asphalt road of the new field.
There was a small car parked next to him, and a middle-aged man with a red face stuck out of the window.
"Say something." This asks passers-by, Zhang Niu often encounters them.
"This Zhangjia village is big, it should be in this place."
"Well, you go forward, and that is the place."
The middle-aged man was very grateful, "Thank you then." β
Through the glass, you can see several people sitting in the back seat.
Zhang Niu doesn't care if you go there, or send zongzi over first.
Two big before and after, one specializes in rice and rape flowers, and the other one is planted with mulberry trees, including many of the foot of the mountain are planted with this, the price of silkworm cocoons has risen in recent years, and the acres of land at home are basically planted with mulberry trees.
When I went down to the field, I saw that the group of people were talking with the villagers, and after a while, the group got into the mulberry leaf field.
Could it be mulberry picking?
"Dad, it's time to eat zongzi." Walking to his mulberry leaf field, Zhang Niu opened his mouth and shouted.
"Here, this is out."
The mulberry trees are taller than Zhang Niu. There was an open space under the mulberry trees, and there were no weeds.
Eating zongzi, "Your mother, making this zongzi, the craftsmanship is getting better and better." Dad said with a smile.
"Dad, do you know if those people came to pick mulberry just now."
Take a bite of the zongzi "Well, yes, you are not in the field, of course I don't know that in the past few days, many people in the city have come to this field to pick mulberries." β
"The heads of the people in this city are funny, and they are good for picking mulberries?" It's not like you've eaten too much and are looking for a cigarette.
"It seems that the doctor from the Lishui Affiliated Hospital has come over these days to pick this mulberry and go back to make medicinal wine, and the effect is very good."
It turned out to be a doctor, no wonder, the inconspicuous mulberry in the field became a good thing in the blink of an eye.
"In our field, someone came to bid ten yuan a catty, and they went in and picked it themselves." Dad said with a smile.
Ten yuan a catty, this price is really expensive, but this mulberry is quite heavy.
"This year, there are more mulberries in each field than in previous years, and there is no problem in picking 20 catties at a time."
In a big year, there are really a lot of mulberries.
Or go in, pick some mulberries to taste, and plunge into the mulberry leaf field.
Mulberry leaves are picked from the bottom to the top, perhaps it is better to use the word "batch", a puff to the end, basically picking mulberry leaves are like this.
Walk in the trail. Under the branches of the mulberry tree, there are purple mulberries, which are ripe, and there are still a lot of red mulberries on the side, which means that they are about to ripen.
The mulberry picking force should be light, this thing is all purple particles together, and the purple juice is left out with a little force, if it drip on the clothes, it can't be washed off.
Sang Zhang Niu has eaten for several years, this mulberry can not eat more, only occasionally tasted, can not be used as a snack, eat too much, the tongue is full of purple, too heavy the whole face is purple have been born.
I have only eaten a few mulberries, and my tongue has been dyed purple. It's very beautiful.
Roughly picked half a bag of mulberry, Zhang Niu drilled out, there were a lot of mosquitoes in it, flying around, annoying very much.
"Don't pick up more."
"It's enough to eat, it's not a meal." Said with a smile.
The two of them put bags of mulberry leaves on the tricycle and prepared to transport them to the bamboo shed on the edge of their fields.
The road is not far, very close, but this tricycle is ridden by my father, not Zhang Niu. Cyclists know that if you go to ride a tricycle, you will definitely not be able to grasp the faucet, and the tricycle will be tilted all the way to one place, and no matter how it is corrected.
People who don't know how to ride a bicycle can be well grasped when they get on a tricycle, and the village sees little hairy children riding tricycles from time to time, running around. Zhang Niu belongs to the former.
Walking into the bamboo shed, the smell of bleaching powder wafted very unpleasantly.
"Sand-Sand-Sand"
In the quiet embroidery shed, you can hear the sound of spring silkworms gnawing mulberry leaves, and the rustling sound forms a symphony band.
Opened the curtain and walked in, the white spring silkworm that had already faded its skin once was now thicker, eating and eating all day and night, gnawing on mulberry leaves rustling.
Dad came in with a basket in his arms, poured all the clean mulberry leaves on it, and drowned the white spring silkworms in the vast mulberry leaves in the blink of an eye.
This year's silkworms, survival is good, this spring silkworm species is too small, not as thick as last year's raising, I am afraid that the silkworm cocoons that end at that time are mainly small.
When leaving, Zhang Niu took a few useless spring silkworms that his father picked out, and planned to go back and put them in the space to see if they would change.
On a whim, it was really unintentional to plant willows, and the willows became yin.
Zhang Niu's father and the two went home, and the car on the road had already driven away, and it seemed that the mulberry picking was fully loaded.
ps: The third watch is over.
