Chapter Seventy-One: Eagle Tea
In the eye is a bamboo forest, rows of tiled houses looming behind the bamboo forest, this place is the first time he has been here, mainly because it is too remote, if nothing does, who will come around here.
There was some apprehension on the road, but when he really arrived at the place, he calmed down, he didn't go to endure the question of whether he had a car and a house, and there would be no mother-in-law who was embarrassed about his son-in-law.
The three of them walked through a small ridge, and then crossed a small ditch, the house was more than ten meters higher than the farmland below, and in the valley area, the house could only be built on a high place to prevent flooding.
"Huh? There are also wooden houses here. Fang Dajun was surprised.
"What's so strange about this, there are two attics over there, but they're a little old, not as good as they used to be." Jin Chi pointed ahead.
Qin Da was carrying peanuts, not interested in everything in front of him, in his opinion, it was simply superfluous to run this trip, even if it cost money and physical strength.
But Fang Dajun has always been very curious about the "educated youth", although now the educated youth have basically returned to their hometowns, isn't this building still there, and there are still a few old intellectuals who have taken root in the countryside, as well as their descendants.
With a sigh, the word era popped up again, adding a bit of emotion.
Climb up along the path, the first thing that catches your eye is a thatched house, there are few reeds in the river, and the thatched houses are built by rice straw, which is not uncommon, but almost all of them are cowsheds, pigsties, etc., people have basically not lived in thatched houses, because the tiles can be used for decades, or even hundreds of years, and they belong to the material once and for all.
"Ever lived here before?" Fang Dajun was surprised again, there was not a livestock pen under the thatch, but an earthen walled house, but now it was vacant.
"Yes, when the educated youth first went to the countryside, the Revolutionary Committee wanted to give a little subsidy, but when they ran out, they had to earn their own work, and we were no better than you, we have been working since we were children......" Speaking of this, Jin Chi suddenly stopped, and his eyes were a little red.
Fang Dajun scratched his head, to a certain extent, isn't his situation also an intellectual youth going to the countryside? The transformation of the environment between the city and the countryside, the difference between the life of reading and farming, it is really not easy to adapt.
"Well, let's stop talking about this topic, where is Yulan's house, let's go over quickly, these two chickens are almost out of control."
As he was talking, the old hen in his left hand clucked, causing the rooster in his right hand to be dishonest, Jin Chi saw this situation, and burst into laughter, feeling a little strange, the army is obviously just a child, but she occasionally has the illusion that the army is older than her age, for example, just now it was obvious that the army was sad when she saw her, so he deliberately made her happy.
On the other hand, Qin Da next to him had a somewhat impatient look, this is the performance that a half-grown child should have.
suppressed the doubts in his heart, pointed to the front and said: "Walk over, it's in the middle, there are only two households left for the educated youth, both of them live in the middle, and there is no shortage of houses, but the place is a little off, and it's not convenient to go out to catch up with the market or anything." ”
Fang Dajun nodded, beckoned Qin Da to follow, and after walking through five or six basically abandoned houses, he finally arrived at the middle zone, which was actually similar to the architectural style of a courtyard house, with a lime-faced dam in the middle, a two-story wooden attic on the inside, a row of stone houses in front, a livestock pen with thatched houses on the outside, and a laundry table and other low-profile buildings on the other side.
Backed by mountains, surrounded by bamboo forests and trees, as far as the eye can see, there are wind-forest cottages in the distance, and farmland is nearby, but to be honest, the environment alone is more than many places in Jiaoshan Commune, but this is from the perspective of later generations, and now the countryside has not yet appreciated the concept of scenery.
As soon as he entered the dam, Jin Chi shouted: "Xiaofen, Xiaoqiang, come out quickly, there are guests coming." "The key to how to define the scope of guests is whether there are gifts in people's hands.
"Sister Kim!" "It's Sister Jin here." Two children, a boy and a girl, were about six or seven years old, and they were both quite well-behaved.
"Xiaofen, Xiaoqiang, come and pick up something, this is given to your family by Brother Dajun." Jin Chi beckoned Fang Dajun and the two of them to walk up, didn't she not introduce Qin Da, just because Qin Da's name was too domineering, couldn't she let the child call Brother Qin Shou.
Fortunately, Qin Da was not interested in introducing this kind of thing at all, and the peasant family was not so particular.
After a while, Fang Dajun walked into the attic curiously, different from those exquisite attics in the film and television, this attic pays more attention to practicality, Yang Chuntao's ancestral hometown has many wooden houses in the countryside of Hulan, and many Sichuan people have migrated from Hulanhu, although it was hundreds of years ago, there are some customs and accents that are similar.
For example: "Ha Bao! Both the word refers to a fool.
The depth of this house is very long, and the internal area is very wide, unless it is a large family can build this kind of wooden house that can accommodate more than a dozen people to live together, this peach house can run horses, but there is no furniture to decorate, it seems more empty.
"This is where the captains of the educated youth lived in the past, the first floor was used for meetings, and the upper floor was used for people, you and Qin Da will rest first, and I will pack these things up first." Jin Chi beckoned, and when she arrived here, she was also a landlord.
Fang Dajun nodded, embarrassed to walk around, and then sat on the chair, Li Yulan's family situation is somewhat similar to him, she is also the eldest, there are three younger sisters and a younger brother below, Xiaofen and Xiaoqiang in front of him are the youngest children, and the other two younger sisters are fourteen and sixteen years old, and they have already gone to work in the production team.
Li Zhengyang's family has officially settled down and belonged to the development brigade, and like ordinary villagers, they have to work if they want food.
Estimated the time, it was almost twelve o'clock, but the time to get off work was generally at one o'clock at noon, and there was still more than an hour, and it was not appropriate for him to go directly to the field to call someone.
"Dajun, are we going to stay for dinner at noon?" Qin Da asked in a low voice.
Fang Dajun smiled: "Of course, knowing that you are bored, we will go fishing in the reservoir in the afternoon." ”
"Okay, okay, I just saw that there is a bamboo forest below, which can be cut and used as a fishing rod." Qin Da immediately became interested, for him, his daughter-in-law is better than fishing, so let's go fishing first.
Only Fang Dajun will do the opposite, and at this moment, the girl Xiaofen walked in across the threshold with two bowls, "Brother Dajun drinks water, and Brother Zhuang also drinks water." ”
When Qin Da heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said in his heart: The baby of the educated youth is sensible.
Fang Dajun smiled and said, "Xiaofen, come here, my brother forgot to buy snacks for you when he came, this is two cents for you to buy something to eat yourself." It's not that he is reluctant to give more, and the two sisters in the family are only a dime a day of pocket money, so naturally they can't favor one over the other.
"Thank you, Brother Dajun." Xiaofen didn't resist the temptation, and ran away happily with the money.
As a result, less than two minutes, the boy Xiaoqiang ran in with tea, this is Eagle Tea, a specialty of Sichuan, no longer belongs to the usual sense of tea, but it is very thirst-quenching, can also prevent heat stroke, is the best tea for farm work, "Compendium of Materia Medica" has "cough, expectorant, asthma, heat and thirst" and other records.
Usually, the farmer will grab a handful of eagle tea and put it into a large bowl, and then flush the boiling water into it, a large bowl can scoop out dozens of bowls of tea, the tea soup is amber, with less leaves, more juice, its tea has the absolute place of not being rancid overnight in summer, the main biochemical components do not contain caffeine substances, no stimulant effect, do not affect sleep, and drinking often is good for health. This pure wild ecological tea looks bad, but it has a very peculiar fragrance, and after drinking, the aftertaste is full of fragrance, which makes people try it unforgettable.
The most amazing thing is that when this kind of tea is stored, it will breed tea insects to eat the tea leaves, and then produce insect feces. This insect is fine granular, brown and black in color, similar to silkworm sand, but smaller than silkworm sand. Because the eagle tea is pollution-free, the insects that eat the eagle tea are also non-toxic, and the tea sand produced is more refreshing and heat-relieving than the old tea. Therefore, in rural areas, farmers who often drink this tea will deliberately put the eagle tea leaves aside until there are insects, just for the purpose of taking tea sand for drinking.
Pinch a little tea sand with your fingers, you can make a big bowl of amber eagle tea, and the little black tea sand at the bottom of the bowl is not clear and you think it is precipitated dust.
"Xiaoqiang come here, my brother will also give you two cents." Fang Dajun beckoned happily, but he thought to himself, it's not a matter to sit like this all the time, why don't you show your cooking skills yourself?
