Chapter 18 Chongtang
The peppercorns were put by the mother by the stove again, but the fire around her had been changed from fennel to cloves. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Don't have to worry about consuming firewood, Lilac rolled up her sleeves and put on an apron to go into battle, and started work on three sides. The three-eyed stove next to the wall was soon empty and crackling, just like her personality.
But in an instant, the little face of the pepper had been smoked red, and she saw fine beads of sweat on Lilac's forehead, and fanned her with her little hand.
Seeing my mother busy in front of the stove in an orderly manner, the fragrance of rice and noodles came to my nose, and my mind was still full of ideas, but my heart gradually calmed down.
It is said that the coarse grains of polished rice produced in the southeast and northwest that she had eaten in her previous life were really a lot, but in the end, she was just sitting in a well and watching the sky. At least the winter and spring and steamed rice that are common in the rice market and often eaten at home are foods that she has never heard of, let alone eat.
Just like this winter and spring, Zhuang households mostly use japonica rice processing. After processing, it will not be moldy or beetle, and it will not be damaged for many years, and it is easy to store even in humid areas, and it can be eaten slowly until the next autumn when it is marketed in New Valley. There is also this steamed rice, most of which have been processed from indica rice, with high rice output, easy cooking rice, large growth, and more rice.
Although the time and manpower required to process these two kinds of rice food is unimaginable, it is the product of people's exploration and understanding of nature, thereby promoting the development of wisdom.
This is the real idea of Sichuan pepper from the bottom of his heart at the moment, and it does not contain routines.
In fact, since the frequent occurrence of disasters in winter last year, everyone has been at a loss and blind. No one can tell the big guy what to do, what to do. The common people don't know what they should do, just live one day at a time, but they are also desperately striving for self-improvement, self-help, and survival with their life experience.
The various disasters experienced are innumerable, and Sichuan pepper has long dared not say that man will win the day. For God, she has never been in awe. But before listening to the destiny of heaven, you have to do your best first.
The bottom of my heart slowly became more steady, and the rain fell on my heart quickly, and I was no longer confused and afraid.
The heavier the rain, but under the deafening sound of the rain, the outer halls could still carry the loud shouts in the wind.
In fact, since Father Qin reported that he had not returned, there had been an endless stream of people coming and going at home.
Some people don't believe in Daddy Qin's judgment, Zhoujiawan has been a village for more than 100 years, where has it suffered such a disaster. But seeing that the Qin family was indeed about to leave home, he was naturally worried in his heart. Some of them were trembling and pulling Daddy Qin stiffly, asking in a loud voice whether it would break the polder or whether it would be a landslide. But Father Qin can report to all the families in the village, but he can't play this package ticket. And although some people believe in Daddy Qin, they don't know where to go when they leave home, whether they should go to the top of the mountain. Others are going round and round, thinking about whether to wait a little longer, so that they can choose another day to leave......
As for the bastard who jumped to accuse Father Qin of being ungrateful and disregarding the safety of Zhou Jiawan, he had already been thrown out by the Qin brothers with a calm face.
And when Qin Lianbao, who was soaked and turned into a mud man, returned from the rain, the news he brought back made them explode in an instant.
……
Small Lianxi County, big Chongtang Town.
This is a popular saying around Lianxi County.
How big is Chongtang Town?
Sichuan pepper didn't know.
I only heard my brothers and sisters say: In addition to a long north-south street and two east-west horizontal streets, Chongtang Town also has 48 open alleys, 48 alleys, 48 dark alleys, as well as 48 wells, and three large docks.
In this case, it is not a wise move to take refuge in this town of Chongtang.
After all, why Chongtang Town has become Lianxi County since ancient times, and even the most important land and water commercial port in Ningjiang Prefecture. In the market town, there are seven or eight hundred merchants and commercial houses that can gather large, medium and small shops, workshops, boat gangs, tooth shops, tea houses, and restaurants. It is because of the superior location of Chongtang and the developed water and land.
The southwest side of the town is near the water, and most of the year in the month of the year, the boats, the boats, and the five-board boats go up and down from the south to the north, which is extremely busy.
However, in addition to the water, Chongtang Town has experienced many baptisms of war and rebuilt many times, the terrain is quite high, and it does not lean on the mountain, and there is an official road galloping to the northeast, and the land route is also extending in all directions.
In addition, the market town is surrounded by city wall arch guards and closed doors, firmly guarding the entire market town. And there is also an inspection department in the town, which inspects more than 30 soldiers under his command, which is a little safer than the countryside. Moreover, there were five or six temples and nunnery in the town, either built at the expense of the local gentry, or built by the Chamber of Commerce and the Boat Gang to pray for the prosperity of business and the safety of entering and exiting, all of which were tall and sturdy enough to be used for refuge.
This is the result of Father Qin's careful consideration, thinking that even if Lianxi County is not necessarily safer than Chongtang.
Qin Lianbao was apprenticed in Chongtang at the age of twelve, and for nearly 20 years, he has been apprenticed from a primary school to one of the best masters in the only painting shop in the town, and he has long been aware of the layout and distribution of Chongtang Town. As soon as Father Qin said that he would take refuge in Chongtang, several thoughts popped up in his mind in an instant.
But what Qin Lianbao didn't expect again and again was that he trekked to the town with a shallow foot in the wind and rain, and only after inquiring did he know that Chongtang Town had also begun to be in a hurry.
Even yesterday, during the day, the Yamen of the Inspection Department recruited more than 100 strong men in the town to build embankments on both sides of the southwest waterfront of Chongtang Town to prevent floods and floods.
Upon hearing this, many of the villagers who had originally made up their minds to leave with the Qin family for refuge were stupid, and then jumped out one after another.
This hard persuasion of Father Qin can't go, and if he goes again, he will only die. The other one said that it was better to keep the embankment in front of the door honestly, and stop thinking about it without implementing it......
Qin Lianbiao, who had been pestering Qin's father all the time, jumped out even more and said, "It's not summer, it's already autumn, I don't believe it, can this rain really go down endlessly?" He looked at Father Qin again and said, "It's always going to stop!" Our terrain is not low, how big a flood can it be! Anyway, no matter what happens to others, I won't leave! ”
Father Qin is not a person who does not listen to persuasion, nor did he expect that the situation was so serious, and there was a moment of suddenness, but after coming back to his senses, he also strengthened his belief in leaving.
And Qin Lianbao has been guarding the embankment day and night for the past two days to watch the water of Lianxi, and now he is going back and forth in the town and at home, looking all the way, he knows it even more, he didn't pay attention to Qin Lianbiao, and just told everyone: "I don't dare to say whether there is a flood or not, but once it starts, there is no doubt that it must be to protect Chongtang first." ”
As soon as these words came out, many people shouted: "Why protect Chongtang first, aren't we human!" ”
But some people understood Qin Lianbao's words, and their hearts sank.
Although this sounds cruel, there is nothing to argue with. There's no reason for that, that's the truth. But Zhoujiawan is downstream of Chongtang, and if the flood is discharged in order to keep Chongtang, they will really only have one dead word left.
