Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Peach and the Fish

The red-haired woman and the round-faced woman stood there, motionless, looking at the half-stretched tall yellow dog in front of them, their muscles tensed, and even their eyes were full of vigilance.

The two hid behind Zhou Ning's family, waiting for Zhou Yi's arrival.

Not long after, the big black dog, as it had gone, brought a gust of wind, like a black shadow swept by, and ran to several people, barking loudly, and wagging its tail so happily.

He rubbed his head against Zhou Ning's body and looked in the direction he had come.

Zhou Ningshi also tentatively touched his head, and the person and the dog quickly became familiar.

They were originally familiar, but they hadn't seen each other for a while, and Zhou Yi was not present, so they seemed rusty and vigilant.

"Zhou Yi, you're here. You raise such a big chicken and duck, and a goose that is half a human tall, it scares us to death! Before Zhou Ning could speak, the red-haired woman spoke.

"Aunt Handan, Aunt Crab, Second Aunt, why are you here?"

The Aunt Hands in Zhou Yi's mouth was the red-haired woman - he didn't know why he was called Aunt Hands, anyway, he was called so by his cousin; Aunt Crab is the round-faced woman, because her surname is Pang, she has been called "Aunt Crab" by Zhou Yi since she was a child.

Aunt Hand Ban's original name was Wu Hong, and Aunt Crab's original name was Pang Yongxia.

"We're fine, we're walking on the highway bridge, and before we have gone far, we have reached the entrance of the cave; Seeing that it was not yet dark, I thought of coming in to see you and steal a peach to eat, but I didn't expect to be surrounded by your chickens and ducks, geese, cattle and sheep. If you don't come, you'll be eaten by them! Zhou Ning explained with a smile.

Aunt Crab, who was chubby and chubby, stood beside her, smiling like Maitreya Buddha and not speaking.

"Oh - go inside and have a cup of tea and rest! I'm tired after walking so far. Zhou Yi ignored the joke of "stealing peaches", pulled Zhou Ning's family, and went home.

A house with a wood and stone structure stands quietly on the side of the fruit forest, surrounded by clear water and green trees, natural and clear.

The plants in the corridor on the second floor have poked their heads out of it and hung down to form a green curtain; Geraniums bloom red clusters, clusters, as bright as fire, and the sunset on the horizon, more and more vivid.

When the three of them entered the hall, they felt a cool and cool breath blowing in their faces--it was the coolness of the earth--the hot summer day suddenly became comfortable.

In the hall, several people sat on the table of eight immortals, and a large bowl of tea that had been chilled by the spring water in front of the door and fried with mountain pepper had a cool smell that cooled from the throat to the tip of the heart, driving away the last bit of heat and washing away the slight exhaustion.

"Hmm~ I haven't drunk tea like this for a long time."

Since moving to the town, Zhou Ning's family has not used mountain pepper to fry tea; If you don't do it yourself, you won't be able to drink it in other people's homes.

The tea brewed from the tea leaves is suitable for small sips and quiet tasting; The taste is not only the taste, but also the tea fragrance, tea color, tea set, tea culture, a deeper level, from the tea to taste a traditional cultural heritage, is the brewing of human character, but also the refinement of people's mind.

When it comes to quenching thirst, as long as you have drunk such a tea fried from mountain pepper, you will all say that it is good!

Mountain pepper does not have much background, and it is not suitable for literati and elegant guests to taste tea in incense, but for the old farmers working in the fields, it is an excellent drink - to quench the heat and thirst, and to dispel labor and refresh the mind.

After drinking tea, they rested for a while, and when they saw that the sun was low, they were ready to leave.

After dark, the road is not easy to walk, even on this viaduct; Women who also carry traditional attributes also take on some household chores, such as cooking.

However, it is inevitable to bring back a few catties of peaches.

Originally, I was just going to take a walk, but I could still see the idyllic scenery, and it would be a surprise if I could pick up a bag of delicious peaches and go back.

Peaches, plump peaches ripe to the point of overflowing aroma and juicy dripping, the three of them have already tasted them, and they have no objection to Zhou Yi selling them for fifteen yuan a catty.

Of course, Zhou Yi didn't plan to ask for money, but the three women led by Zhou Ning's family had to give money anyway - after all, as an elder, where could he be greedy for the junior's cheapness?

If Zhou Yi grows and eats it himself, he can take a few of them, which is nothing, but now he is ready to sell them for money, so he can't take them.

In the town, which family is not related to the family? If you take it like this, everyone won't do business!

Seeing this, Zhou Yi didn't insist.

The three of them each held a bag and followed Zhou Yi to pick peaches in the peach forest.

The peach fragrance is already extremely strong, and the faint aroma has become stronger, which has enveloped the entire peach forest.

The three women took the bag and followed Zhou Yi step by step, waiting for him to carefully pick and hand the peaches from the tree, and then gently put them into the bag for collection.

Wu Hong couldn't stand the peach fragrance, took a peach, and walked to the canal under the fruit forest not far away.

The water is clear and soft, shining with soft waves in the tender green grass, and the fish are walking freely in the water; The crab held up two large pincers, fierce and vicious, and seemed not afraid of anything; The loach in the mud swayed gently and scurried in the mud; Those small holes, bulging bubbles, people with a little experience, know that there are yellow eels living in them - no longer need experience - a finger-thick black and yellow eel out of the hole, the head erected, shake and shake, a worm that was leaked by the golden bell grass flew through the air, only to see the black and yellow shadow flashed, the flying insects in the air disappeared, only the yellow eels remained, continued to straighten upright, shaking in the air......

Wu Hong is not greedy for these crabs, eels and loaches.

She eats a lot of fish, and even if the fish in this canal is better than many in the market, it is not her goal.

Her eyes moved with the pale green and yellowish shrimp in the clear water canal that was only one or two knuckles long—she hadn't eaten fresh shrimp in a long time!

In the city, fresh shrimp are not uncommon in some fish markets, but such small shrimp growing in fresh water are almost uncommon.

There are a lot of dried shrimp in mountainous towns like this, but if you don't go to the streams and lakes to catch them, you will never see them.

The shrimp in the clear water canal are already very large compared to those in the creeks and rivers, almost a knuckle and a half long, almost to the limit of this type of shrimp - the moist and plump flesh, the smell of fresh shrimp, just think about it, she drools.

"Zhou Yi! Do you sell these shrimp too? ”

Zhou Yi had already finished picking the peaches, and looked at Aunt Handsan sitting by the water, and couldn't help but look over, "Huh-why are there so many shrimps?" It's all grown so big! ”

He was also amazed.

Shrimp are not uncommon, but such a large shrimp is very rare in the mountains. I don't pay attention to these small things in the ditch on weekdays, but they have grown so big in groups.

"Auntie, if you want it, just take some back and eat it." Zhou Yidao.

Wu Hong then remembered that if you want to eat shrimp, you still need to fish in the water!

A shrimp is so big, to catch enough bowls, it can be time-consuming and laborious!

She thought about it, looked at the sky again, and finally suppressed the craving worm in her stomach, took her eyes off the translucent shrimp, and fell in love with a carp swimming in the water.

"You raised this carp by you." Wu Hong asked.

"Well—I didn't even feed them, so I bought the fry, threw them in, and let them grow."

Wu Hong looked at one or two palm-long fish in the ditch and said, "I'm afraid it's almost too big to grow so big in your ditch!" It's not eaten yet, it's wasted. ”

Zhou Yi heard the sound of the strings and knew the meaning of elegance, and hurriedly said: "Aunt Handban took two fish back to eat?" ”

Wu Hong didn't shirk either, after all, he had already made his peach figure for more than 100 yuan, what was it to eat a fish?

"That's it." Wu Hong looked at the two fish swimming very happily and pointed.

Zhou Ning watched from the side, and said shyly: "Such a big person, he is also a delicious guy!" ”

Pang Yongxia's round figure stood next to her and echoed with a smile: "Zhou Yi, such a good fish, you have to give me two!" ”

"It's all, it's all there." Zhou Yi replied.

He rolled up his sleeves, stared at a swimming fish with sharp eyes, his hands flashed into the water like a swift wind, and he lifted it up violently, and the water splashed in all directions, and a blue-black carp jumped out from the splash of the water, and kept jumping on the grass, full of strength!

Wu Hong wanted to catch the green carp into the bag, but as soon as he grabbed it to the ground, the carp swung its tail violently, jumped up from the ground a few feet high, and flicked its tail, and a big-eared scraper was thrown on its face!

"Hahaha - you delicious braincase, you have been punished!" Zhou Ning gloated beside him.

Pang Yongxia also laughed when she looked at it.

Wu Hong looked depressed, but there was excitement in his eyes, "I didn't expect it to be so powerful, it's really wild, it must taste good!" "She hasn't forgotten to eat it at the moment!

A few carp were put in the bag, and they didn't forget to shake their heads and tails and jump out of the water.

The three of them had to tie the mouth of the bag tightly, so as to avoid the disaster of the fish jump.

With a fish in one hand and a peach in the other, the sun was setting in the west, and it was time to leave—and there were still a few mouths open in the house, waiting for them to go back and feed!
