Chapter 19 Catching Shrimp
The unlucky young master muttered about his unscrupulous father all the way, and this lotus lay on the bed and turned over and over again, and he didn't know whether he was excited or excited, and he couldn't sleep. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Occasionally, I heard the old lady Wu in the next room whispering something to my father, it was estimated that it was a bunch of stories that I made up during the day, nervous and expectant, and for a while all kinds of grand ambitions continued to ferment and rise in my mind, and Orchid felt that she was going to lose sleep again, so she simply didn't do it and made a PPT in her head.
One, every day groveling and servile to the big and small landlords and old wealth to ask for peace and be an old mother, bow down and serve the bourgeoisie to eat, drink and have fun, and then swallow their saliva and stand next to him while being whipped by the young master while flattering all kinds of sycophants, Emma, the picture is too beautiful to imagine...
Second, the third uncle's craftsmanship plus his own creativity, I don't know if the handicrafts are marketable? If everyone's food and clothing are a problem, the ghost will consider buying handicrafts and pretending to be forced. . .
Third, take care of the food, think of something good and cheap, and the key is to persuade your father and mother to go to the town or further away to sell food...
Fourth, the more urgent task is to fully understand the purchasing power of the world, what stage the standard of living in the town and county has developed, the acceptance of new things by the nouveau riche landlords, and what lucrative projects can be developed...
After thinking about it, the wealth fan orchid killed the first and second articles, and there was no bottom in my heart! It is still necessary to take the down-to-earth route, and the people take food as the sky. Thinking about his previous life, Li Lanhua, who was known as an invincible hand in Ningcheng, was actually two big heads, and his head was a mess, and he couldn't think of any cheap and profitable food, which was really worthy of the glorious title of a little expert in foodies. Now I only hate myself for being too lazy before, only occasionally doing it at home, and I didn't think of learning a new Oriental or something, it's really a mouthful of old blood in my heart, and I know it when I don't buy it!
As for the third uncle's good craftsmanship, it must not be buried, and it has to be matched with food, the so-called good horse with a good saddle, a good dish with a good plate, and delicious dishes with exquisite tableware can be regarded as "perfect".
After thinking about it for most of the night, a line was vaguely sorted out in her mind, and Orchid finally fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, as soon as the sky was polished, it was estimated that it was only four o'clock, and Orchid deeply suspected that she had just fallen asleep not long before she was picked up from the bed by the energetic Erlang screaming. Rubbing his eyes that couldn't be opened at all, he looked at Erlang who was embarrassed with his eyes blankly, his head was full of question marks, what kind of trouble was this, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Second brother, what time is it?" Before the chickens got up, the people got up, what's the situation? ”
"Oops! Big sister! It's time. Erlang was extremely dissatisfied with his contempt: "Didn't you say that you would send food to Young Master Li!" Are we catching shrimp or catching fish today? After speaking, his eyes lit up and stared at Li Lanhua.
Orchid said with a confused face: "It's only four o'clock!" God, can you believe the words of the landlord and the old wealth, you should take it seriously. After saying that, he fell on the quilt, "Let me sleep a little longer." ”
"Big sister!" Erlang was anxious: "Aren't you going to burn food and sell it for money!" ”
A word woke up the dreamer, Li Lanhua suddenly thought of something and bounced up from the bed, put on straw sandals, and said: "How did you forget such an important thing, why did you forget the next set last night." I didn't have time to wash my face, and while muttering, I dragged Erlang and ran out.
"What are you doing, big sister!" Erlang was blinded by a series of actions by the orchid: "I haven't eaten the morning tea yet, big sister!" ”
"Hurry up and go, before dawn!" Orchid was completely sober: "Second brother, go to the third uncle's house and take a look, yesterday the third uncle promised to weave a basket with a lid for me, see if it is braided, it doesn't matter if you don't have it, you hurry up, bring all the baskets at home." Fast! ”
After thinking about it, he shouted to the lotus again, "Lotus, hurry, bring a shovel and sickle and catch shrimp with my sister." ”
There was a big movement, and the Wu family, who was sleeping in a room, woke up: "What are you doing early in the morning, the chickens haven't crowed yet, what are you doing here?" ”
"Mother, it's too late, hurry up and catch shrimp, and catch more before the big guy gets up."
Seeing Wu's confused appearance, he didn't want to explain: "I saw one yesterday, there are still a lot of shrimps, I'll go with the second brother and them to catch a little first, and then let's go to the next ridge in the evening." Let's not talk about it yet, we have to hurry. Mother, don't tell anyone about this! ”
At this time, Erlang came out of the third uncle's house and took a basket with a lid, saying that it was a basket, which looked very much like a jar, slightly smaller at the top and slightly larger at the bottom, with a lid, and two thumb-thick straps on it with grass.
The third uncle is really ingenious, he can understand it at one point, and he just said a few words casually yesterday, and the third uncle actually figured it out, and it looks quite beautiful. It is estimated that it is designed for the crockpot at home, which is so powerful! But at this time, I didn't have time to think about it, so I hurriedly greeted the sleepy-eyed lotus and the energetic Erlang, and each of them brought two baskets and trotted all the way to the pond in the mountain col.
Along the way, the three of them assigned tasks: Erlang dug earthworms, lotus went to find some flake stones, dug up some wild vegetables, Orchid rolled up his pants, threw a handful of dew-stained weeds into the third uncle's special basket, and went directly to the pond to catch shrimp with his bare hands. instructed the two of them to pay attention to snakes and insects, and reminded them that they had to rush home in an hour. Only then did each of them do their own thing, and each did his own job. I have to say that the farmer children are really hands-on. In less than half a burnt of incense, the lotus flower had already found six or seven stones and began to dig wild vegetables.
Maybe it rained last night, and Erlang dug up more than a dozen big earthworms after a while, "Is it enough big sister!" Jiro caught a handful of earthworms.
"Emma, that's enough!" The orchid was concentrating on catching lobsters, and Leng Buding was startled by the reckless Erlang and threw a lobster into his hand directly, looking at the twisted earthworm with goosebumps all over his body: "Enough is enough, you want to scare me to death!" Second brother! Quickly shovel the earthworm with a shovel, put four or five sections in a basket, then put the basket in the pond, take a rattan to fix the basket, not too deep, and put the rest of the earthworm away. "Orchid instructed Erlang in one go, and at the same time was busy throwing the lobsters she found into the basket, and her progress was the slowest, only catching about twenty." When you put it away, hurry up and catch the shrimp, throw them in the basket, look at the feet, don't step on the snake. ”
Seeing that Erlang had put the basket in three times and divided by two, the two immediately grabbed the lobster on the shore with their hands and feet. Or Erlang's combat effectiveness is outstanding, about half an hour later, the basket is full, and the orchid is estimated to be half past five, and beckoned the lotus, "Lotus, come, let's close the net!" ”
For this shrimp net, Orchid is still very confident, I want to be naughty, when I was a child, I was naughty with my cousin in the countryside during the summer vacation, catching shrimp, climbing trees, digging birds' eggs, that is called a handy... My cousin is a good hand at catching shrimp, and he takes her around the river all day long, and my cousin is scolded by my grandmother for this. Eh, the past is unbearable, and it is full of tears, and Orchid feels sour when she thinks about it, and she doesn't know what happened to everyone.
Don't want to! Orchid didn't care too much, and she didn't shout at the two of them. One, two, three, up! Saying that, the three of them pulled a rattan stick one by one!
"Big sister! There really is! There really is! Lotus exclaimed, "I have five or six in this basket!" ”
"I've got a dozen of them!" Erlang touched a three-foot-tall touch, and squeezed his eyes at the lotus flower with great pride: "Second brother is amazing, isn't it?" ”
"Second brother is amazing!" Lotus pouted: "Mine is not as much as the second brother." ”
Orchid laughed: "That's your second brother's luck, the position he pulled is good, come to the lotus, come to the sister, and there are many sisters here." ”
After saying that, beckoned the two to put the shrimp into one basket, and then went to give the other three baskets, and the six baskets were full of shrimp, estimated to be more than four catties, and the orchid greeted the excited Erlang who put the remaining five baskets back on the earthworm and put it down, while pulling the grass and covering the basket, pressing two thin stones. After half a burnt incense, it rose again, this time it was obviously a lot more than the last time, and the orchid suddenly realized: "This time the time is just right, the first time is too long, I must have walked a lot.!" ”
Another basket and a half of shrimp, several people were very excited, looking at the lotus two people who wanted to go to the next net, the orchid was a little unbearable: "It's time, we have to hurry home, if you show it to the aunt, our shrimp in the morning will be caught in vain." ”
"Then let's go, second brother, eldest sister." The lotus flower was so frightened that her face was like ashes, and she was about to run home after saying it. It seems that the shadow area brought by the eldest aunt to the lotus is not as large as the average two, and the orchid suddenly felt the need to counsel the lotus.
After listening to the words of the two, Erlang thought so, put the basket on his back, and took the basket with the orchid and lotus and ran home!
