Chapter 106: Sitting on Wax
Whoop - the lone wolf let out a long howl, broke free from the girl's embrace, and ran to the endless snowfield, behind it, the wolves surged, like cold-blooded killers on the grassland, announcing that they were the real kings here.
"Don't be too busy running, fish all the time. There is also Uncle Ming, I will go back to the village and bring two sheep to feed the wolves first. These uncles are simply big eaters! Li Xiaopang threw his arms and threw the big fish over, there was no way, with the current grassland capacity, he really couldn't support this group of wolves.
Those donkey friends are also secretly happy, although the little fat man is full of complaints, but he is really willing to give up. Two sheep a day is really not something that ordinary people can bear.
In fact, they still don't know much about steppe wolves, and these steppe overlords can eat a meal that can fill them for several days. Li Xiaopang is really helpless to do this, the food chain of the meadow is still relatively fragile, if it is not fed properly, pheasants and hares, etc., there will definitely be no left, this is not the result he wants.
The return of the lone wolf made Li Xiaopang bittersweet. You said that you would come back when you came back, and you dragged your family with you, making it clear that you were going to stay in Shajiabang.
For this reason, Li Xiaopang had to explain to Yaya alone, telling the wolves to try to go to the desert area where there is no grass when they are foraging, where there are many blind rats and other rodents. It is normal for a dog to meddle with a mouse, and for a wolf to catch a mouse, it is normal to survive.
By the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the weather had warmed up a lot, and the snow on the slopes and roofs had begun to melt. It seems to feel the breath of spring, and the two swans at home, big white and little white, often stretch their huge wings and carry out preparatory activities, and twice fly to the bubble for a circle.
Cluck, cluck - as the sun warms up, the little hens in the house also blush, and begin to lay eggs one after another. For this reason, someone also specially found someone to weave a few straw baskets with grain straw to lay eggs and placed them on the chicken rack. Sometimes I can't hold back when I catch up with the eggs laid together, and there are two hens crawling side by side in the grass nest, which looks very festive.
After the hen lays eggs, she always likes to cluck for a while, I don't know whether to report to the rooster or the owner to report the good news, hoping to appreciate some rice grains or something.
As soon as he heard this call, the monkey must have been the first to run out of the house, swoop onto the chicken rack, put his little paws into the grass nest, and felt a hot egg.
This almost robber-like approach will certainly cause the hens to be dissatisfied, and when they blow up their wings and prepare to peck at the little monkeys, the monkeys will scatter another little paw very chicly, and a handful of millet will fall to the ground, and the hens will not care about the little monkeys, and happily peck the rice.
Li Xiaopang's family has nearly 20 chickens, and they can collect at least 123 eggs a day, in addition to boiling one per person in the morning, the rest can also be fried with egg sauce, or fried eggs.
Eggs that have just opened in spring feel extra fragrant when eaten. The best thing is that there is still a soil trough on the windowsill of Li Xiaopang's house, in which some garlic seedlings are planted, and they have eaten stubble after stubble, as if they can never be cut. In addition, in autumn, some of the mother-in-law Ding roots that Mr. Wu moved over also sprouted green leaves, and they were also cut and eaten like garlic seedlings.
Generally speaking, the leaves of the mother-in-law can grow more than ten centimeters, but Li Xiaopang's is different, the big leaves are more than a foot long, which makes the old man Wu wonder: I don't have urea either? He didn't chase urea, but Monkey San's urea is better than any chemical fertilizer.
Pull off the leaves of the mother-in-law, wash and cut it into inch segments, stir it together with the eggs, spread an egg cake in the pot, the eggs are golden, the mother-in-law is green, take a bite, the egg fragrance still has the slightly bitter fragrance of the mother-in-law, it is definitely the most wonderful dish in spring. Anyway, Sister Lin likes this the most.
It's a pity that this girl followed Wu Qingluan and those travelers back to the city two days ago, in fact, Lin Yatou was reluctant to leave, but since she agreed to help the Black Blind Cooperative invest, she had to go back to solicit sponsorship.
In addition, Professor Wang and his entourage also successfully completed the first phase of the expedition and left the Black Blind Tun with a full harvest. As for the second phase of excavations, it is scheduled for June onwards.
The biggest gain was Professor Rebus, who made more than a dozen large bags, saying that he was bringing these gifts back to his wife and children. At the same time, he also said that when the second phase of excavation comes, he will definitely come to this small village that has left him with good memories.
At the time of parting, Li Da understood that he also pulled Professor Rebus aside alone and muttered for a long time. Li Xiaopang's ears are so good, and he vaguely heard words like bringing more pills next time he comes-
When I got home, there were so many fewer people all of a sudden, I really felt a little empty, and there was only the old man Wu sitting on the kang head, Li Xiaopang smacked his lips: "You said that this shouldn't go, why did you leave so quickly, why did you have to pass the fifteenth day of the first month." β
"Boy, what do you mean, that's all I should have left?" Old Man Wu glared at him, Li Xiaopang said a few times, and went to the kitchen to work.
Since it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, of course, it is inseparable from the Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival in the north is different from the rice balls in the south, it is not wrapped out, but after the filling is made, it is placed on the sieve of the Lantern Festival, and the Jiang rice noodles are glued layer by layer, so it is more porcelain and most suitable for steaming.
The monkey is greedy, and after the steamed Lantern Festival, he has to ask Li Xiaopang to fry it in the oil pan again, the skin is fried crispy, and the inside is soft and glutinous, of course it is more fragrant to eat.
After dinner, Li Xiaopang went to deliver the lamp. It is also a local custom to send lamps to deceased relatives and place them on the grave, hoping that the light can illuminate two different worlds.
There are more elaborate ones, which are to sprinkle lights. It is to mix kerosene with coal ash or saw, sprinkle a pile of more than ten meters apart, and after igniting, the fire can burn for a long time. Then from the grave to the door of the house, let the deceased ancestors go home to see, the family is very good, the days are getting more and more prosperous, it can be regarded as an expression of a good wish.
Li Xiaopang went out, and there must be a few little tails behind him, Qingzi, Monkey Sanyaya. Li Xiaopang actually doesn't pay attention to those things, so he leads Yaya. According to the daughters left by the older generation, fifteen yin qi is heavy, and the little girl is not allowed to go to the cemetery.
The lantern is made by Li Xiaopang during the day, and the outside is framed with sorghum stalks, and white paper is burned around it, and a hole is left on it. There's a white candle in it, and you can stay for most of the night.
Because the tombs of a tunzi are all gathered together, there are many old men on the road to send lights, and everyone walks together, which is also lonely.
When you arrive at the cemetery, light the lamps of each house, and pray a few more words, and the ceremony is over. The sporadic lights continue to illuminate the night sky, passing the torch from generation to generation.
Li Da understands that he is worthy of being a cultural person in the village, and the lights are different, and they are actually crystal ice lamps, so they are extraordinarily bright. And he prayed for an extraordinarily long time, and when everyone came closer, some people couldn't help but laugh loudly, it turned out that Li Da understood that he was praying for the blessing of his ancestors and asking him to give birth to a baby, so as not to cut off the incense.
On the way back, everyone inevitably joked, such as "I understand that you are only afraid of being powerless", etc., so angry that Li Da snorted clearly: "Lao Lei is a few years older than me, and his youngest daughter is only three years old, what am I doingββ"
Li Xiaopang nodded and said, "It seems that there will be more international exchanges in the future." β
As he was talking, he heard the sound of Qingzi behind him, and everyone looked back, but it was amazing, the fire on the other side of the tomb was soaring. Although it is far from the forest, there are a few wicker bushes and fields in between. But everyone is still running back, if the fire is really a fire, it will be bad!
By the time I ran back, the fire was almost gone. It was the ancestral grave of Li Daming's family that caught fire, and the wild grass on the grave was burned clean.
Everyone trampled on the surrounding sparks again, and then they were completely relieved, and some people joked: "I understand, this is your ancestor's manifestation, telling you that after this generation, you will be naked, and you can only dream if you want a baby-"
Li Da understood but didn't see it that way, he lowered his head and touched the ground, and muttered in his mouth: "Why don't I feel like something is wrong?"
In the end, he really found out the problem: because only a layer of hay on the ground was burning, the fire was limited, and the ice lamp was still there, but the wax inside was missing.
Everyone was wondering, and they saw the girl running back with her little legs, and she was slowly following the big fire fox. This guy has basically become a free-range member of the tunzi now, especially with Li Daming's family, he often goes to eat and drink, but never steals chickens.
Seeing that the fire fox was still chewing half of the white wax in his mouth, Li Xiaopang couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Understand, how do you make your foreign wax?" β
"I used to boil a drop of mutton fat, your aunt was too fat, I think it's a pity to throw it away-" Li Da understood and recalled, it must have been a fire fox who was greedy, took out the foreign wax, and set the wild grass on the ground on fire.
"Absolutely, this is a veritable sheep wax!"
"I almost got on wax today!" Everyone is talking about it, and the so-called sitting wax is a bit of a cocoon.
Li Da understood and hated to teach the fire fox a lesson: "No interest, no interest, I feed you those delicious and delicious drinks every day-"
The fire fox squinted his eyes, still chewing the sheep wax leisurely, which was delicious, and finally spit out the twist of thread on the ground, looking pampered and not shocked.
Someone next to him added fire: "I understand, even the fox fairy you dare to scold, be careful and evil!" β
Because of the experience of the previous car, Li Da understood that his heart was really a little vague, and he vaguely felt cold on his body, hot in his head, dazzling in his eyes, and blocked in his heart, and finally couldn't even stand on his feet, and his mouth was noisy and quickly helped him.
This is a typical psychological hint, Li Xiaopang is studying medicine after all, and he understands a little, he slapped his thigh coldly, almost scared Li Daming into squatting, only to hear Li Xiaopang shout loudly: "I understand, I understand that uncle, you are very happy, this time your family's incense is continued, and it will become more and more prosperous!" β
Li Da understood that his heart was full of joy when he heard this, his body was no longer cold, and his head was not dizzy, so he nodded vigorously: "Well, I also think that's the case." Let's go, go to my house and have two cups - that big red, you follow along, and leave you a chicken butt, fat drops! β
A group of people walked back happily, followed by a big slow fox, sticking out his tongue from time to time and licking his lips.
