Chapter 20 Pine Fungus
At this time, the old man looked at them a few times, took a puff of cigarette, and said slowly, "The old man is a Taoist master in Qinghe Town, and she is the daughter-in-law of the Fu family in our town, which village are you young people from?" ”
The old Taoist master is the most respected profession in the village besides doctors and teachers, which determines that he does not have to speak politely to people, and there is a sense of arrogance in his tone.
"We belong to the Li family in the back village." Li Gang is the biggest, and these are for him to answer. "Did you carve this general?"
"Since a few of you are from the Li family in the back village, they are all from a town, and you must also know about this general world, the child she held in her arms is not good, she was born weak and sick, and the family spent a lot of money to no avail, and then I found the old man to set up a general world for them, and guarded it for three days, this young man is the first one I met this morning, so according to the rules of the general world, he is the godfather of this child, you just want to be a witness, I don't know how many people think?"
This old man is worthy of being a Taoist master, what he said is reasonable, he can advance and retreat freely, this kind of thing is not refusal, if the monkey refuses today, don't want to stay in Qinghe Town, according to the general's statement, the monkey will also be haunted by bad luck in the future.
Li Yu also asked some things about the child, knowing that the woman's name is Xu Meiting, she is from Qinghe Town, the man works outside, she takes care of the child at home, the child is only three years old, but there is a problem, the three-year-old child has begun to walk, the child is listless all day long, drowsy, Li Yu took a look, he still looks very cute, but he is thin and small, he looks like he is less than a year old, and he has been sleeping in Xu Meiting's arms, this is a typical congenital malnutrition, it is difficult to treat, and it is not wrong for people to engrave the general.
Since there is no problem with people, and the monkey has no reason to refuse, although the monkey is a little caught off guard, he also understands the general situation, exhales, and says heroically, "I agreed, what to do next, the old Taoist you arrange, we don't understand, today I also experience the feeling of being a father before getting married, don't envy it!" ”
In fact, they have only heard of the general world and have never seen it, but now they only feel strange when they see it with their own eyes, only to see the old Taoist master take out three incense sticks from the cloth bag on the ground, hand them to the monkey, and signal him to light them, and then take out a piece of yellow mounted paper and hold it in his hand, dancing on his chest, chanting words in his mouth, Li Yu turned his ears and didn't hear what he was reading, only knew that the old Taoist master was speaking faster and faster, like chanting scriptures, and he was drowsy when he heard it.
Plug in the incense, burn the paper, it's time to call the godfather, the child can't shout like this, so Xu Meiting had to shout on behalf of Xu Meiting, a godfather shouted out from her ruddy and sexy cherry lips, Li Yu found that the monkey's body shook, and the whole person seemed to be unstable.
Xu Meiting's flushed cheeks swelled with a girlish shy flush, and it was the first time she called a man who looked smaller than herself.
"According to the rules, the child has to go to the godfather's house for two days after recognizing the godfather, but the child is too young and he is not at ease without an adult to take care of him, so the old man has a proposal to let Meiting take the child to your house for two days, do you think it is feasible?" The old Taoist said to the monkey.
"Done!" The monkey readily agreed, and the godfather shouted, how can this be a thing, and the smile on the monkey's face can't be hidden, this is a win-win situation!
The monkey trembled and hugged the child, touched it for a long time, took out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it to the old Taoist, which was a thank you gift.
The old Taoist left with a smile, this young man was very generous, and the money given by the Fu family was worth doing a ** thing.
"What are they going to do next?" Li Gang looked at the monkey, then at Xu Meiting, and asked Li Yu.
Li Yu was also nerve-wracking, "Forget it, take it all!" It's impossible to go back after walking so far, anyway, the monkey's old house is being repaired, and it can't be inhabited, so it's not where to stay. ”
Xu Meiting sat on the monkey's car with the child in her arms, the things behind it were divided into three parts, each motorcycle was loaded a little later, and the monkey drove much slower when it went back, if it wasn't for Li Yu's urging, he could have driven a race with a snail.
Naturally, with a child, you can't go to the Demon Domain Cave, and a few people drive directly to Yan's sister-in-law's parents' house, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside are muddy roads, and after the rain, it is all mud, sticky and slippery.
The mountain is a lush pine forest, there is a delicious wild mushroom growing in the forest - pine mushroom, pine mushroom is also known as pine hair mushroom, rivet mushroom, pine needle mushroom, pine mushroom must grow together with pine tree, symbiosis with pine roots, is a very small number of wild mushrooms that can not be cultivated artificially, pine mushroom flesh is thick, the taste is delicious and smooth, fresh and crispy and smooth almost reach the extreme realm of Chinese tasting food, pine fungus is mainly for consumption, can also be used in medicine, has the function of strengthening the body, relieving pain, benefiting the stomach and intestines, regulating qi and dissolving phlegm.
After the rain, the pine fungus grows everywhere in the pine forest overnight, and the pine needles on the ground can be found if you don't pick it in time, and it will soon rot.
A few people drove to Yan's sister-in-law's house with difficulty, this is a small mountain village with only a dozen families, each family lives by hunting and selling some mountain goods, and the farming here is basically fed wild boars, roe deer and the like, more than a dozen houses live together, all of them are earthen walls and tile houses, Li Yu and they came to other families to know that the children of the old Wang family have returned to their parents' house, and they come to visit with some fresh fruits and vegetables from their own homes, and the men and the host accompany the guests, and those enthusiastic women roll up their sleeves and go to the kitchen to clean up the meals.
Yan's sister-in-law's father's name is Wang Kaimu, he is an honest and honest person, with a tall and strong body, not good at words, except for Li Gang and Yan's sister-in-law rubbing their hands and laughing when they called him, they didn't speak again, sat on the side and smoked dry cigarettes, listening to other people talking and laughing there, and laughing twice from time to time.
Sister-in-law Yan's mother is an atmospheric woman, her speech is crisp and crisp, and her voice is also loud, and the voices of the old men in the room are almost suppressed by her alone, and Sister-in-law Yan estimates that she has inherited her mother's genes, and the mother and daughter look similar.
There are brothers and sisters above the sister-in-law, but they all went out to work, there is a teenage nephew at home, the little boy is quite lively, running in and running, and then the other children in the village took some food brought by the sister-in-law and ran away.
Li Yu almost didn't know these people, but the people in the mountains were enthusiastic, and they took out delicious food and drink to entertain them, and I heard that they were looking for fungi, and immediately some people said that they had picked up a lot of them at home in the morning, and you could get as many as you wanted, Li Yu hurriedly refused.
In the morning, the weather had begun to clear, and the fog in the forest had gradually dissipated, and Li Yu saw the whole picture of this small village, which was a small plain halfway up the mountainside, and the fields were planted with rice, and several rows of vegetable gardens were fenced with thick fence stumps.
Li Yu saw a bowl-thick gardenia tree next to Wang Kai's wooden house, such a large gardenia tree is rare, the branches are mottled, leaving traces of knife chopping and axe, or bolting ox stakes, quite a bit of boiling cranes and burning the qin, but it grows strong and makes Li Yu happy to see the hunting, and folds several thick branches and plants them into the space.
Li Gang took Li Yu to the back mountain for a circle, and the close ones were basically picked up, so they could only go to a farther place, and finally discussed, and bought a few catties at the homes of these mountain people, and some small pine mushroom heads that had just emerged also bought two catties, which were put in fried meat and noodles are the best match.
Lunch is very lively, four or five tables of banquets, the dishes are rich, all kinds of mountain and wild cured meat, when the fresh wild vegetables are placed on a full table, the mountain people are good wine, even if Yun Yun who does not drink alcohol was persuaded to drink a sip of medicinal wine, suddenly his cheeks were red, and it was afternoon after eating, and this trip to pick up mushrooms was over, Li Gang and his wife did not stay, and the three motorcycles drove back.
