Chapter 010: Mountain Treasure
In the evening, Lu Xiancheng put all the remaining rabbits in the basket, and used the climbing plow to carry the little ones from house to house to deliver the rabbits.
When Xiaohu'er heard the movement here, she looked up and saw Lu Xiancheng standing at the door, bending down to drag the wicker basket down, and immediately put down the bowl and came up to help.
"Xiancheng is coming! Come and sit in the courtyard" Grandpa Huzi watched Lu Xiancheng enter the courtyard, and immediately bent over from the chair and wanted to stand up to greet him.
"Hey, Fifth Master, just sit down, I can't afford to stand up" Lu Xiancheng and Xiaohu'er dragged the wicker basket to the front room together, straightened up and patted the dust on their hands politely.
Xin Wuye, whose butt had just left the bench, sat down again.
"I left a few rabbits over there, and you can watch the rest and call everyone over to divide the rabbits" Lu Xiancheng reached out and touched Xiaohu's head.
Xin Wuye heard this and immediately said: "These children are eating big fish and meat over there, what else do you send this rabbit here for, it's not worth a meal, take it to the helpers and try it."
In Xin Wuye's old brain, he subconsciously thought that Lu Xiancheng still belonged to the capitalist class, and at worst, he could be regarded as a landlord or something.
But because Lu Xiancheng has always been very polite and has a good relationship with the villagers, Xin Wuye can be regarded as a good capitalist and a good old fortune at most. Even so, in Xin Wuye's consciousness, Lu Yao's life is full of white rice every day, every meal of cabbage and tofu and other side rice, as for meat, it would be good to be able to eat once a week with a mouth full of oil.
That's it, Fifth Master Xin still thinks about Lu Xiancheng in a better direction. How do you know that Lu Yao, each of these people is a standard configuration of one large meat, two small meats, and a few vegetarian dishes for each meal.
Lu Xiancheng didn't know this, so he smiled and sat down on a bench: "How long will I eat more than 20 of these things, and besides, you can't just eat this thing every day, you say yes."
Xin Wuye looked at the corn tortillas and porridge on his small table and pickles. I was embarrassed to open my mouth to reprimand Lu Xiancheng: You can't eat rabbit meat every day, I don't say this when I eat stick noodles every day at such an age.
"What are you still standing for, don't call everyone over, you are responsible for the sharing" Lu Xiancheng looked at Xiaohu'er and said.
Xiaohu'er is very excited here, not to mention anything else, just say that these female rabbits can be raised for two months in exchange for a lot of money, but this child does not dare to go out without his grandfather's orders.
Xin Wuye saw that everyone had sent it to the door. He nodded to his grandson, meaning that he agreed to call the babies who contributed to divide the rabbits.
As soon as he saw his grandfather nodding, Xiaohu'er ran to the door.
Looking at his grandson and disappearing at the door, Xin Wuye politely asked Lu Xiancheng: "Have you eaten it, if you haven't eaten it, eat a little at home, there is nothing to eat, corn flour tortillas."
Lu Xiancheng waved his hand directly and said, "I've eaten it, you always eat!" ”。
Xin Wuye picked up the bowl and took two sips, as if he remembered something. said to the wife next to him: "Go, bring out the two bottles of wine in my house, and let Xiancheng bring them back later!" ”。
When Lu Xiancheng heard this, he immediately waved his hand: "That's not possible, then I won't come to you to ask for something!" ”。
"If you give it to you, you will take it, our Zhuang family doesn't have any good things, we don't think it's good in your eyes, two bottles of wine are my heart," Xin Wuye said with a straight face.
Lu Xiancheng saw that this stubborn old man was really serious, and his mind turned and said, "Fifth master." If you really want to give it, then you can catch a big fish and send it to me when you have time. If you don't think one is good, then two, a big carp of more than five catties, because I love to eat fish. If you give me wine, I won't be able to drink it more than a few times a year."
Aunt Xin, who was talking to the two of them, had already brought out two bottles of wine, which was indeed not a good wine in Lu Xiancheng's eyes, more than forty bottles of Xianghe. However, this kind of wine is a bit of face here, and it is estimated that nine times out of ten, this thing is the thing that Xin Wuye's son-in-law honors his old father-in-law for the New Year.
It would be strange if Xin Wuye was willing to drink this thing at home, and in the end, most of it became a gift to be sent back and forth.
"Auntie, when I leave later, pick up some vegetables that can be put in me, and put away this wine. The fifth master is here to help me get fish."
Xin Wuye nodded at his wife after hearing this, and went back to the house with wine.
"I heard that you're going to find someone to dig a pit and plant a tree in a few days?" Xin Wuye picked up the bowl and took two sips, and then remembered that Lu Xiancheng was looking for someone to dig a tree pit.
Lu Xiancheng nodded, took out a cigar in his pocket, and after being polite to others, he lit it himself.
"What are you doing with that money, we'll help you dig it, and you can manage the food according to the rules of building houses in the village," Xin Wuye said.
It is common for the village to build a handle between neighbors, and everyone will take a hand when they are empty, and as for building a house, weddings, funerals, and other major events, the whole village contributes.
I heard that Lu Xiancheng was going to dig holes and plant trees here, and he also went to the town to find someone, and a few 'strong laborers' who were guarding the house felt that they could help with this matter, and a few people were about to talk to Lu Xiancheng about it, and Lu Xiancheng sent it to the door by himself at this time.
Where does Lu Xiancheng dare to use this gang of people in the village, he can't afford to pay for any of the old and young ones who have some problems.
"Fifth master, this job is not so simple, there are almost more than 500 tree holes to be dug, and it is likely to be doubled, just these people in the village are not manpower and Ben ......" Lu Xiancheng briefly said about planting trees.
Hearing Lu Xiancheng say this, Xin Wuye stopped talking, as for Lu Xiancheng's purchase of trees, Xin Wuye is understandable, and it is rare to express support for Lu Xiancheng in this regard.
"It's a good thing" Xin Wuye nodded: "If you have money, you have to buy some belongings, money is not a thing that you don't bring in life and don't take it with you in death, and it is the safest ...... to leave a piece of rations for your children and grandchildren, and to keep a stable food."
Listening to the old man's words, Lu Xiancheng didn't know how to pick up this stubble for a while, and he was going to plant a few trees in his ranch, so why did he let the old man pull on his children and grandchildren.
However, Lu Xiancheng did not show impatience, anyway, the old man said that he listened with his ears propped up, and it didn't cost a penny.
I listened to the fifth master's nagging for almost ten minutes. The old man ate both bowls of rice by himself, put down the bowl and began to tell Lu Xiancheng about the 'ancient scriptures'.
Ancient scriptures are country dialects, to put it bluntly, they are stories, many of them are passed down by word of mouth, mainly about famous historical figures in the local area or local origins, and even many of them are mythical. Anyway, if that's not the case, Lu Xiancheng has no interest in studying it, and it's fun to listen to the story.
Xin Wuye said, Lu Xiancheng listened, an ancient scripture had not been finished, and he heard a cough at the door.
"Xin Lao Wu, you are a fool, are you talking about that little thing in your stomach again?" An old man in a gray half-worn tunic walked in with a snakeskin bag.
"You old thing don't stay at home and come to me during meal time, do you want to mix rice?" Xin Wuye couldn't help but smile when he looked at it: "Zhao Jiu is a nerd, isn't it that the mother-in-law didn't cook?" ”。
Zhao Jiu's nerd is the nickname of the Zhao family's old nine, not to say that there are nine brothers, but even cousins. The old man is the ninth in line, he is considered an intellectual in the village, and he used to be a substitute teacher in the town for a few years or something, because of Xingjiu, the teacher used to be called the stinky old nine. Of course, there are not many people calling now, and there are only about a dozen people who can call Zhao Jiu in the village now.
Now the bamboo forest on the slope of the road is his family, relying on this forest, Zhao Jiuye is considered rich in the village. Of course, his wealth is only said in the village. When you get to the county seat, you can't rank up his family, and the gap between everyone is that some people can see meat and vegetables on the table every day. There are people who don't see meat on the table for two or three days.
Zhao Jiuye pulled a stool and sat down and put the snake leather strap in front of Lu Xiancheng: "I just came down from the mountain, I saw your horse beside me, and I got you some mountain goods to eat."
As soon as he heard the mountain goods, Lu Xiancheng suddenly became interested, untied the snake's belt, and looked inside. There are five or six bamboo shoots hanging with mud hanging on them, as well as large and small mountain mushrooms in plastic bags.
Lu Xiancheng has seen bamboo shoots, nothing unusual, but the mountain mushrooms in the bag have attracted Lu Xiancheng's attention.
I took one out and saw that the mushroom was dark blue, and the mushrooms that were originally colored in Lu Xiancheng's head were all poisonous. It can't be eaten, and now that I see a pure blue flash mushroom, I am naturally very curious to take it in my hand and look left and right.
"Hmmm! This year's blue hat is growing well," Fifth Master Xin said as he looked at the mushroom in Lu Xiancheng's hand.
"How do you eat this?" Lu Xiancheng looked at this bright blue and felt a little bottomless.
Xin Wuye said: "Stewed chicken or pork ribs!" Just put this thing, then add two tablespoons of oil, add some dried wild wolfberries, if there are bamboo shoots, it would be better" Speaking of this, he looked at Zhao Jiuye.
Zhao Jiuye glanced at Xin Wuye with disdain, and took the cigarette pot in his hand and knocked it on the sole of his shoe: "You still need to say it!" ”
"What's the scientific name of this thing?" Lu Xiancheng asked, turning the blue mushroom in his hand.
"Who knows" Zhao Jiuye and Xin Wuye both shook their heads.
In addition to this blue mushroom, there is a kind of mushroom that looks like a light bulb in the pocket, which is a little strange, but it is not against the sky, and there is a small bag in the bag, and the mushroom is even stranger, and the umbrella mushroom head is also like a 'hole net skirt'.
"It's all good stuff!" Xin Wuye looked at the things in Lu Xiancheng's hand, and said with a smile: "You Zhao Jiu has always been a little childish, I didn't expect to be generous today."
"This mushroom grows beautifully."
"This is Bamboo Sun! Sizhen is the first," Zhao Jiuye heard Lu Xiancheng say that the mushroom was a little dissatisfied, and immediately corrected it.
"Bamboo Sun?" Lu Xiancheng has only heard of bamboo shoots, but how have he heard of bamboo shoots? There are not too many imprints of what Sizhen.
Zhao Jiuye saw that he had reloaded the cigarette pouch and put it on fire, and said with a show of display: "The four treasures are bamboo sun, monkey head, mushroom, and white fungus. Among them, Bamboo Sunflower is the first class. I want to go into the old forest over there, and I'll take you with me when I have time to go into the old forest over there."
"Isn't there a rumor over there that the mountain has been closed? Can you still get in? Lu Xiancheng asked.
"If you don't go into the mountains to cut down trees, who will stop you from doing anything" Zhao Jiuye said happily: "Pick some mountain vegetables and mushrooms or something, and you can still pick the mountains poorly?" ”。
Lu Xiancheng was also happy when he heard it. (To be continued.) )
