Several villages in the vicinity of Zhangjia Village have their own halls. The big red and white ceremonies will be placed there. In the hall, there are eight immortal tables bought by the village brigade, as well as four-colored stools painted with red paint. When it's busy, the whole synagogue can be filled.

When Zhang Niu arrived. The well of the synagogue hall was surrounded by many villagers watching the excitement. This brings a little fun to the boring life in the village.

"Third uncle, isn't this fish a demon?" A young man shouted outside.

"That's right! Right. If you don't become a demon, how big can you grow. ”

"I haven't seen a big fish like this in thirty years."

The superstitious aunt in the village prayed with her hands together. "Fish Demon. If you die, don't come to our house, just lock your life and find someone else. "There are still many people who are like her. No one in the villagers said much. They are all looking at the big fish that is about to be cut.

Directly in front of the well was the third uncle who was relatively senior in the village sitting, an old man of half a hundred years old with a white belt and a little black silk on his head. A pair of age-spotted hands stroked the white beard of the chin from time to time. Looking at the noisy crowd in front of him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Killing fish invited Master Zhang, who killed pigs in the village. Don't look at him, he can kill pigs, and the skill of cutting fish is also top-notch. This big fish is no less than 300 catties, and it can't be done with raw hands. A few young men were busy fetching water. The well water in April is lukewarm.

Zhang Niu, who had just entered the crowd, saw the small flowers inside.

"I just came. You really slept late, and you still have the characteristics of your chicken nest. Xiaohua, who came over, couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Zhang Niu's chicken nest.

This is also to blame Zhang Niu for getting up early in the morning. I'm not used to combing my head. At most, it's a matter of grabbing it with a few hands. Just go out and get busy with things, and after a long time, you will naturally forget that this will be ugly.

"Well, isn't it just busy in the morning? You see...... "pointing to the dirt on the cuffs" did it in the morning. We are hard-working, and we are busy. Zhang Niu said unashamedly.

"Blow it! No one believed it. ”

Zhang Niu didn't fold, let's take a look at this big fish first. One meter and seven long, weighing more than 300 pounds, good guy. A triangular head. There are two whiskers left around the mouth. The big fish is covered in black scales all over the body, and the scales are close together. The fins on the back are standing up with large spines, braving the cold light. But now a lot of fish scales have fallen, revealing the tender red flesh. Fish tails are different from other fish. It looks a bit like the kind of bamboo broom made at home, which opens and closes widely.

"Cow, you're here too." A figure appeared on the side.

Zhang Niu was overjoyed by the figure that appeared, "Good boy, when will you come back?" ”

The figure in front of him was a young man with a face of more than one meter and eight Chinese characters, wearing a large white vest. The solid muscles that are exposed. He is worthy of being an athlete in a former school.

Wang Haiyong. The buddies in middle school in the village, every time they fight, they can have his share, when they were still Zhang Niu and they were still 1.6 meters, Hai Yong had soared to 1.78 meters tall, just that size, known as the number one bully in the village. This guy is also restless material.

"yes. As soon as I returned to the village, I heard that the villagers had seen this big fish on the edge of the stream, and it seemed that I was blessed to come back this time. Swallowed a few saliva.

"You're still the same as before...... Was it ok outside?"

Hai smiled and said, "Yes, but it's not as interesting as when we used to study." ”

When people are older, they will be separated, and a large group of young men in the past are not together much now, and they rarely meet even during the New Year......

"Dog, you're back too."

Hai Yong, who was still smiling, immediately froze when he heard this voice, "Huahua, don't talk about your brother...... Especially the sound of the dog, "Look around, no one is paying attention." It's not bad......

Hai Yong is not afraid of fighting or anything, he is afraid of the little flowers in the village. Especially the dog with that sound. Haiyong used to sleep without a quilt in winter, so he relied on a quilt to survive the winter. It just so happened that during that time, what animals called fur seals were put in the animal world, and everyone began to call them Hai Yong.

Flowey listened. Smiled brighter, "I just want to scream." Dogs, dogs......"

Listening to Zhang Niu laughing, this stinky boy also has a time when he eats turtles, and he can't fight anymore. At the very least, I can laugh a few times......

Before he could laugh a few times, he was slapped on the shoulder, and the special strength of the foot Zhang Niu almost didn't stand firm...... Haeyong rubbed his fists, "Are you still smiling...... Don't come back for a few more refreshing ......"

Isn't that a few more hits looking for death...... Hurriedly waved his hand, "No...... That's enough......"

"You two, you fight as soon as you meet...... It looks weird and awkward, but next time in front of me, you can't do this" waved that pink fist a few times......

Hae-yong knew that the taste of this little firework was not so pleasant. "Nope. Flowey said. I'll definitely listen," Zhang Niu, who also pulled the side, "You said yes"

Zhang Niu was pressed by Haiyong's fist. "yes. Wasn't that just a greeting from friends who didn't meet, and wasn't there a hug outside, why don't we try it?" and stretched out his hands. But cursed in his heart. You damn dog. Bullying me again. It is better for Heaven to send a representative to punish you now.

As soon as Zhang Niu thought about it, the third uncle who was sitting in front of the well shouted, "That Haiyong." I can't come in and help. ”

The tall and tall Hai Yong stood on the side, and it felt like he stood out from the crowd. Who told this guy to wear a vest when he only came in April, don't look at the third uncle is old, his eyes and ears are still smart, and the juniors don't dare to speak loudly in front of him......

"It's coming. Didn't you just come back and say hello to your friends......" said as he touched the big flat head.

The third uncle smiled and looked at Hai Yong who came in to help.

"Uncle's vision is not bad, he didn't let this big lazy worm be lazy here," Xiaohua said a little dissatisfied.

Looking at Hai Yong who was fetching water there, and then looking down at the sky, it seems that this God is still hiding justice.

"Stinky cow. What are you muttering, you won't be speaking ill of me!! I saw Zhang Niu talking to himself.

When will this little flower pay so much attention to people? It's not staying in the city for a long time. It's really different. In the future, I will go to the city to see more.

His gaze drew Zhang Niu back to the well. It's time to start cutting the fish......

"The guy in front, don't get in the way."

"Cut the fish...... Not yet. ”

There was a lot of shouting outside, and many people had already climbed the fence. I could see it more clearly there, and the people behind me followed suit. There are too many people out there. Squeezed there, Zhang Niu was lucky to come in at that time, Hai Yong just relied on his size. Everyone will also get out of the way.

Master Zhang has already put a 50-centimeter-long fish knife with a bit of bend. Sharpened, the bright light on the edge of the knife. Extraordinarily glaring...... A good fish has to use a good knife. The fish knife is a treasure left by Master Zhang for generations. It will only be taken out during the New Year's holidays. Today, it is also a big fish that has been rare for decades to come out, and the curved blade can better cut the fish without scratching the inside.

The fat fish belly turned over for a few young men. At first, everyone thought that it was cut from the fish maw. But everyone guessed wrong. Zhang Niu and Xiaohua couldn't understand it, let alone the villagers outside.

Master Zhang gestured. The boys turned the fish over and turned it up.

Standing at the head of the fish, Master Zhang slid the knife directly into the neck of the fish. Then gently paddled down the back of the fish, and the villagers who were closer could still hear the pull of the broken fish bones. Pull. The sound of pulling.

Depend on! This fish knife is really a good treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation. You can still hear the sound of cutting the fish, and Zhang Niu's ear power is better than others, so you can hear the breaking sound of the fish knife and the fish bone colliding more clearly.

Master Zhang used dissection to kill small fish. Now the method of cutting meat slices is adopted, and the fish is not fishy. With a good knife in hand, Master Zhang is very fast. Newly bought plastic film has been laid next to the well.

The tender red and white flesh is cut off piece by piece. When you remove the flesh, you can see that the bones of the fish are neatly broken. It also attracted the surprise of many villagers. Everyone knows that there is this fish knife. But it seems that few people have seen it. Many of them have only seen this fish knife for the first time.

Zhang Niu secretly compared with the treasure knife that blew Maori on the side, could it be that the ancestor of this fish knife was a guest in the rivers and lakes? I'm starting to think about it again.

His hand was still drawing, "What are you doing?" It's very mysterious. ”

"Nothing. It's just that hand is a little itchy, "busy scratching a few times on it." If you're thinking about the fish knife, don't let Xiaohua make fun of it.

However, Xiaohua still didn't believe it. Can itchy hands be like this? Blow it, but I didn't say it.

The upper body of the big fish has been cut. Take out the fish meat with large bone spurs. Let the third uncle who was sitting there also raise his thumb and say "yes".

Good guys. This fish bubble is really not small. Master Zhang, who took out the fish, shouted.

Washbasin-sized fish bubbles are connected in size. Cut through the stinging bones on the side. Up and down everything, pull out the fish bubbles. "Hae-yong, come here and take this to the kitchen, be careful not to puncture it. That's not tasty. ”

The dogs outside also ran in, squatting on the ground and waiting for food. In addition to the fish bubbles, the fish maw is also taken away. Master Zhang didn't take the liver or anything. Take it out directly and throw it to the dog below. A few of them were still fighting. The sound of hoops continued.

And the fish maw was thrown away by the well.

The big fish of 1.7 meters is now left with fish bones. Not a single piece of fish was wasted. The young man who saw the edge of this kung fu had itchy hands.

The rest of the fish head. Remove the gills. The big fangs of the fish mouth are presented in front of everyone's eyes. A mouth full of fangs, bubbling with a cold light, it is conceivable that only this guy has grown so big. Soon, I'll become a demon.

When the fish belly is opened, everyone is shocked that it is full of fish bones. It is estimated that the rest is digested. There are still some rotten pieces of iron in it. Looks like this guy eats everything. However, it is good that the big fish is dead, and many villagers call it out. Immediately, everyone thought about it, if this big fish stayed in this section of the river in Zhangjia Village. If you don't go in the summer. Isn't that to eat the living?

After cleaning up, Master Zhang put away the fish knife. Stand in front of the third uncle. "Uncle, things are already fine, then I'll go back and collect this knife first."

Smiled and nodded. "Go ahead. Thank you for your hard work today. Come early in the evening. Don't make everyone wait," said this without hurry.

"Yes, got it." Turn around and squeeze out of the crowd.

There are fish to eat at night, and the most exciting thing is the little hairy boy jumping there, "There are big fish to eat at night." There was a burst of laughter. These guys are really interesting. The little hairy boy always thinks of what to say. The best thing to hear is that you are naïve and ignorant.

The crowd slowly dispersed. After all, you won't have until the evening to have fish to eat. When the excitement is over, of course, you have to do something. Just now, Zhang Niu heard from others that he was still a good hand in the village at cooking fish at night, and many women in the village helped.

Haiyong, who shook the water trail in his hand, walked out. "You haven't left yet, you won't be waiting for me!"

"Beautiful you. I'm waiting for my dog, not you. A few blank eyes.

"You just came back. When you get home, sit down with me. "I remembered that Hai Yong had just come back, and I guess I hadn't been home yet, so I still had to go home and take a look.

"Yes. Let's go home and have a look. Let's have a few drinks in the evening, "It's not too late to leave, find Zhang Niu to fight wine."

"What about you, Flowey. Are you going to go there," he asked, looking at the remaining flowers.

Blinking his big round eyes, "What do you say?" "When Zhang Niu was confused. Xiaohua's voice came from afar, "Stupid, I've been fooled again." ”

This little flower just loves to be lively, and it's still not broken. In the past, there were more girls in the village, and they all went to school together. As long as people from other villages look for girls in their own villages, they will be beaten by Zhang Niu and Haiyong.

Zhang Niu, who just wanted to leave, was attracted by the fishbones left next to the well. The minced fish on the bones is almost the same as that of the dogs. It's better to take it home and put it in the pond, and it seems like a good idea to find someone to carve a fish head when you have time. But I have to ask the third uncle. Don't be taboo.

The old people in the village are quite taboo about this, and the third uncle is an outsider. Because I was a teacher before. Brought a lot of students out. A person who knows knowledge and anti-superstition has some rare ancient books in the bookcase at home. I usually like to read some cow gods and ghosts, and I say that there are all kinds of strange things in the world, and I can see all the strange things.

Seeing that it was still early, Zhang Niu was ready to go to the third uncle's. The third uncle's family is considered a scholarly family. My son and daughter are both working in the provincial capital, and I came several times to take them over to enjoy the blessings, but I didn't go, saying that I was chatting and drinking tea at home.

The third uncle's house is a mud house, and as soon as I entered the front yard, I saw the third uncle sitting on a rattan chair, and the village chief standing there, probably to discuss the things of the next night.

"The third uncle is good" stepped forward and arched his waist.

"Come, sit here". Pat the stone bench next to it. Without waiting for Zhang Niu to speak, the third uncle asked, "I heard that you are in the village to cover wasteland, right, you are motivated." Work hard in the future. ”

The village chief on the side also said, "Third uncle, you were recuperating in the provincial capital last year. I don't know Zhang Wa, bring a fortune to our village. ”

"Oh, there's still this matter, tell the third uncle. The old bones have to listen to it. ”

Zhang Niu, who was sitting on a stone bench, didn't expect the village chief to say this, he was unhappy that it was fake, and it was a good thing to let the third uncle pay attention.

"It's the village that raised ducks last year and made a lot of money", originally a long story became a short word when it came to the mouth.

"Yes, good. No wonder there are many ducks in the village, and their own mothers-in-law also raise a lot, and there are ducks quacking in the village every day, which is very lively. Then he touched his beard again.

Looking at the happy third uncle, Zhang Niu also said what he had done, "Third uncle, I want to ask, I don't know if you still need that fishbone today." ”

The village chief couldn't figure out what the use of fishbones could be for a while. "After all, he is a reader. It's still good, and you don't have to be afraid of any taboos if you have a vision. I know you're going to want to say this, kid" Zhang Niu originally said this in the next sentence, let the third uncle say it at once.

"The little Jiujiu in your heart, your uncle can see it at a glance." Laughing and slapping the armrests of the rattan chair.

"Third uncle, that's what you said. Waiting for teaching. Zhang Niu thought about it before he said a few words.

"I'm tired. It's sour to say that the conversation is going to go into the house to rest. The village chief next to him who stood up hurriedly helped the third uncle into the house. Walk to the threshold and look back and add. "It's best to leave it in the wild grass for a few days first, and come back to me later to help you get some herbs to get rid of the fishy smell."

Looking at the third uncle who entered the house, Zhang Niu got up and went back.

The fishbone is still one meter and three meters left, and he is not afraid of the fishy smell on it, and he will return to happy Xiaozhu when he resists.

"Zhang Wa. What are you doing here, resist a fishbone," asked Katsuaki, who turned the corner.

Zhang Niu, who heard the sound with the fish bone on his back, said haha, "It's nothing, just take it back and put it away, it looks good." ”

Many people in the village were a little curious when they saw Zhang Niu carrying this fish bone, and as soon as the fish was slaughtered, someone went back with the fish bone, and Zhang Niu didn't say anything.

Walk to the place where the happy little boulder is built. Immediately threw it in the grass next to it. Let's leave it like this first, this weather is estimated to be a few days, wipe the sweat on your head.

The gravel road is difficult to walk, let alone carrying this fishbone.

Throw the fish bone here, and you won't be afraid that anyone will steal it. Worthless stuff. I'm afraid I can't look at it!

A hasty meal at noon. I didn't eat too much. Otherwise, the fish feast at night will not be able to fit. Shrewd kung fu is a good fight, but many people in the village also have an empty stomach at noon and eat hard at night. These people will not be in the minority,

After a little rest, he turned over the bundle of thirty-centimeter-long sugarcane seeds in the sack, which he had also bought at the town market the other day. Zhang Niu's own memory also mixed with a lot of green cane, the two are different.

Sugarcane and green cane are both Zhang Niu's favorite food, so he bought some and went back to plant. At noon, I went out with a sack. A lot of willows have been planted around the pond.

Sugarcane is planned to be planted by the pond.

Dig a pit and take out a section of sugarcane seeds, the buds are placed on them, and the sugarcane also grows from the humble buds, sprinkled with a layer on top, and small bamboo strips are inserted on the side. I'm afraid that I won't be able to arch out of the dirt for a while.

The two ponds were buried with sugar cane, and Zhang Niu, who was standing on the side, looked at the bamboo sticks inserted there, a little bit of the smell of the war and the detection of mines, and no one came here anyway. I'll get used to watching it a few more times.

Zhang Niu is still very satisfied with the work just now, and he has become a lot of skilled in hoeing the fields, and it is estimated that it will not be long before he becomes a farmer. Self-deprecating.

After sitting by the pond and enjoying a comfortable massage of the little fish.

As soon as I stood up, I saw my own reflection in the water, the messy head. Ay. It's really a hassle to wash your hair. It's not okay to not wash it at night.

In the front yard, I saw the cat playing tricks on the little turtle by the waterhole again. "Go, go. Go somewhere else. ”

The cat, which was still playing, saw its owner coming. Plop over. Today's cats are long and round, with black and white feathers all over their bodies. Especially the big round eyes. But it still annoys Zhang Niu so far. This guy still can't fly. Just learn to flutter a few times......

When will you be able to fly like the big red, little ones? Look at the big red in the treetops. It's useless to wait, maybe after a long time, it may suddenly fly. Gently caress the little head. In exchange for a few grunts.

Evening comes quickly. Zhang Niu, who had just been lying down at home for a while, changed into clean clothes. When I went to the Great Hall, more than 100 families in the village basically came.

In front of the door, I saw a lot of motorcycles parked around, and it seemed that the young men from the county town had also returned. The opportunity to eat big fish can be difficult in a lifetime. The lads came back in the evening. Rushing back in the morning is nothing more than a little cold in the morning.

As soon as he stopped the car, he covered his face with his hands. "Flowey, don't make a fuss." You don't have to guess to know that it's Huahua behind. The faint body fragrance that smelled in the morning betrayed Huahua.

"Hmph, can't you pretend to guess a few times?" Let go of the little flowers of your hands. The pouting mouth said dissatisfiedly.

For this cow chose to ignore, "Let's go!! Get in early and find a good place. ”

The two walked into the synagogue together. Eight immortal tables were set up in the hall. Four-colored stool. There were quite a few furry children already sitting there waiting, and everyone else was chatting there.

Another pat on the shoulder. "Here we are. I don't call it when I arrive. I couldn't find you in the crowd just now."

Zhang Niu felt particularly unlucky. I hit my shoulder twice in one day, and the force was very strong. You don't have to go back to see that the place must be red and swollen. This big hand is a little more powerful than a strong palm.

"yes. Just arrived. A little painful, Zhang Niu still replied, directly despising this guy in his heart.

"If you're tired of standing, let's find a place to do it first!" Xiaohua proposed.

At the back of the hall is a kitchen. You can cook the food, and the smell of the food wafts into the synagogue.

"Fragrant. I really want to eat it right away. Hae Yong added the corners of his mouth. Look at the little door.

"Wait!! Today it was roasted by a chef in the village. Xiaohua, who had her chin in her hands, looked at Hai Yong with a slanderous face.

Xiaohua and Zhang Niu also know Haiyong's temperament. When you see food, you have to fill it up before you can call it a day, or this head can grow so big. They are all eaten, and they are bigger than his own father.

The small door of the synagogue. Push it away with a "bang".

"Here comes the dish". I don't know who shouted. The people in the back began to sit around the table.

"Look at the dishes. You guy can let go and eat. ”

The corner of Hai Yong's mouth added, "What, come here." I was thinking about deliciousness."

As soon as these words came out, everyone else at the table laughed. The most excessive Zhang Niu was still patting the table, watching Hai Yong's eyes burn. Good guys, laughed there in the morning, and now slapped the table, right? Wait a minute, I won't clean you up......

Zhang Niu also noticed Hai Yong's gaze. It's a groove, and I shot it too hard just now. I guess I'm going to be unlucky late. His personality is clear. Mom, who's going to rescue me?

Pushing open the small door, the women who walked out of each house brought out plates of dishes. Fillets. Steamed. The dozen or so dishes on the table are basically made of fish.

The dish has not yet been eaten on the table. Because the third uncle in the village still has something to say. Even the noisy little hairy boy didn't steal vegetables...... I sat there quietly.

The third uncle, dressed in a cyan homespun robe, stood up. "Today, the whole village, young and old, gathered together to join in the fun. I'm happy too. When we get together today, we have to let go of eating and drinking. It's a rare opportunity. And the lads who rushed back from outside. Don't drink too much at night. Or I won't be able to go back tomorrow. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, there was a shout, "got it" The voices of a group of young men, booming.

Quite a few people outside also started to move in crates of beer.

The third uncle looked at everyone's happiness. I laughed to myself. Drink the rice wine in one gulp.

The dish also slowly began to serve. After the third uncle finished speaking, Hai Yong picked up a wine bottle. Holding a chopstick, the cap of the bottle opened with a "pop", and wine bubbles bubbled.

For the aunt who can drink at the table. The uncles are all down. It is important to be polite in the village. After opening two bottles. It was my turn to drink with Zhang Niu.

"Everyone, let's stop getting hot." The aunt who came out with the soup shouted as she walked.

"The fish soup is here." Xiaohua said to Hai Yong next to her. There are a lot of oil marks on the side of the mouth.

A white stone bowl with fish head soup and chopped green onions floating on top. From time to time, the smell of fish wafts out.

Hai Yong opened another bottle of wine and poured a full glass for Zhang Niu. "Let's drink more. Do you want to have some flowers? "I saw the little flower next to me sandwiching the slices of meat.

"Okay." Took the paper cup. Put it in front of Hae-yong.

I didn't pour more than half a cup. "Come on. I salute our flowers and flowers to be in good health as soon as possible. ”

Hai Yong came back and knew that Xiaohua was not in good health. So I didn't pour much wine. It's just the meaning......

"Thank you, Haiyong and Zhang Niu." Xiaohua's face was full of joy. Raise your glass.

The paper cups touched each other. Zhang Niu drank it all in one gulp, and his stomach swelled up.

Xiaohua also took a few sips. Although this beer is a bit bitter. Swallowed it anyway. The little face turned red all of a sudden.

In the distance, the table of the third uncle is basically the only one in the village who can sit there. Even the village chief had to sit somewhere else.

Everyone was drinking in the hall, and some tables began to sing the wine order, and the small bowls were replaced by large bowls. Pour it full. "Drink, drink it all......

It's all shouting......

The kitchen was still stir-frying. There were people coming in and out of the synagogue constantly, all of them coming back from going to the toilet after drinking too much.

After two bottles of wine, Zhang Niu felt a little uncomfortable, and his head was dizzy. Shaking his hand, "Hae Yong, I can't do it today...... Next time...... I can't go back at night after drinking. ”

Hai Yong is still fine, Zhang Niu only has two bottles, this guy should be six. "Drink!! When did you drink so badly...... It's the man who can say no, drink," and continue to fill it up.

Xiaohua also made Haiyong's words amused. This can be said in front of a girl.

"I was in a hurry just now. Don't see it, Huahua. Hai Yong also knew that what he had just said was too much. Especially in front of girls.

"Look at you're in a hurry, isn't that funny......? Let's drink your wine and go! I think so much. ”

"It's still Xiaohua who understands. to continue drinking. He poured it into a small bowl of cows.

Set the bowl aside. I took out an empty bowl and scooped some fish soup for myself to refresh myself, and added sauerkraut and tofu, but there was no fishy smell, and the taste was just right.

A table of more than a dozen dishes, including a few vegetables, is still very rich, especially the fish, there are several styles, so that the villagers who are used to eating a single appetite are opened, especially the little hairy boy scooping the soup in the bowl and constantly picking vegetables back. I'm afraid that someone will rob it.

7ooo word to. It's a bit late, and I just came back from going out fishing today. It's a break for yourself!! Let's look at the happy votes and vote for a few more tickets!!
