Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "I don't sell it here, but it doesn't mean that Wang Min doesn't sell it there." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½\\ć qb5.c0m//ā
Everyone reacted that two sheep were stabbed to death last night, and they were bought by Zhang Taiping, so the other one was still left with Wang Min. The village chief asked, "Wang Min also peeled the other one?" ā
Zhang Taiping nodded: "I peeled it in the afternoon, and I am ready to sell." ā
The old village chief immediately said to Wang Gui: "I'll go over and get a few catties back later." Others also said that they had this plan, whether they really wanted to eat mutton or something else, anyway, the village chief spoke first, and everyone agreed.
Zhang Taiping put some wine made by himself at the table of the women in the family, but the old men at this table did not put any wine, not that they were reluctant, but that this atmosphere was suitable for drinking a little wine. Therefore, Zhang Taiping prepared several jars of Lao Baigan and self-brewed grain wine.
Because it was the first time to try it, there was a sense of novelty, not to mention that it was really delicious, and everyone let go of their arms to eat and drink, and the atmosphere was very warm. Talk unscrupulously, staggered, this meal will not stop until the beginning of the lantern.
Out of Zhang Taiping's house, everyone went towards Wang Min's house, obviously still thinking about the mutton. Especially Zhuang Yu, he bought twenty catties at once. Now Wang Min is not worried that he will not be able to sell it.
Most of the people in the mountains have never eaten hot pot, Cai Yazhi and Yaya are no exception, of course, the same is true for Tian Tian and Ye Ling, so the four of them have eaten a lot on the table. Cai Yazhi drank a few more glasses, the wine was soft and sweet with honey when she drank it, but she was full of stamina, Cai Yazhi can't be said to be drunk now, but she also walked staggering and drunk.
And Fan Ming had simply climbed on the table, Xing Rushui was not drunk, but the reddened cheeks suddenly made Zhang Taiping feel like his index finger was moving, and he quickly suppressed the restlessness in his body and carried Cai Yazhi into the bedroom, and at the same time, Xing Rushui also helped Fan Ming into the bedroom.
Cai Yazhi is not the first time she has been drunk, one of the characteristics of her drunkenness is that she doesn't play drunk, as long as she sleeps quietly for a night. But tonight was a little strange, as soon as he entered the bedroom, he entangled Zhang Taiping, and suddenly ignited the heat that rose from his eating mutton, and the two tossed for most of the night.
Early the next morning, Zhang Taiping woke up refreshed, while Cai Yazhi was still sleeping in Haitang Spring. After washing his face and pushing the door open, the rain had stopped, and a few beams of light appeared from the clouds on the eastern horizon that had not had time to recede, like several giant swords pointing straight to the sky. The aroma of the earth after the rain is refreshing, and the washed mountain village is even more lush.
Zhang Taiping first went to the backyard to drive out the chickens, ducks and geese, and let them forage for food in the garden. He let out the three suffocated horses, saddled the black dragon, and drank back the foals who wanted to follow, but called out the grimaces lying under the eaves, and then whistled to the sky and summoned the two eagles.
The black dragon ran in front, the red dates were accompanied by him, followed by the grimace of a walk like a leisurely cloud, and then followed by Xiaojin and Xiaofeng in the sky, when he roared through the village of Fengyukou, causing a burst of amazement among the guests who enjoyed the farmhouse here, and asked him about his origin. Unknowingly, he beat his reputation out, which can be regarded as an unintentional move.
Out of the mountain, on the road around the mountain for a burst of free and wanton running, not only the black dragon and red dates are happy, but also the grimaces that follow behind, since coming to Zhang Taiping's house, it has not run unreservedly like now. After stopping, he squatted on the ground, stuck out his tongue and panted slightly, this is like a dog, he used to move slowly in the garden, and the most is lying under the eaves in front of the door and squinting, like an old man in a dog's skin.
After returning to the house, they cleaned the black dragon and the red dates, unsaddled their horses and let them chew grass at the foot of the southern mountain.
In the southernmost part of the village, there is still some seclusion about the news in the village, until this morning the village chief took a loudspeaker to inform the whole village of this matter, Li Lao and Tang Lao only heard about this matter, accompanied the old man to the front yard after Tai Chi to ask about it, Zhang Taiping roughly recounted the events of the night.
Old Man Li shook his head and sighed: "There are good people and bad people everywhere. ā
Old Man Tang asked, "You said that Wang Min is selling mutton?" ā
Zhang Taiping nodded, yes.
Donald Ye said to Li Lao: "Go, Lao Li, go over and weigh a few catties of mutton, this thing is very beautiful when it is done." ā
It's just that it didn't take long for the two of them to come back empty-handed, Zhang Taiping didn't see any disappointed expressions on their faces, and asked curiously, "Why didn't you buy it?" ā
Li Lao said with a smile: "That young man said that it was sold out yesterday. It was too late to hear from the news. ā
The sale was quite fast, and Zhang Taiping said to the two old men: "Wait a minute." After finishing speaking, Zhang Taiping entered the house and took out the remaining mutton from the space, and was not afraid of things going bad in the space, so he chopped off two catties and took it out and handed it to the two.
Li Lao asked, "You bought this?" ā
Zhang Taiping shook his head and said, "I bought a whole one directly, peeled it myself when I came back, and ate it slowly after concocting it and preserving it." ā
"In this case, then this meat will be taken." After Mr. Tang finished speaking, he paid Zhang Taiping, but Zhang Taiping tried his best to stop him.
After breakfast, Zhang Taiping and Cai Yazhi went to the big field together. The two of them first removed the colored striped cloth covering the wheat and let it bask in the sun. Then help the people who came first to clean up the big scene. It rained for two days, and the scene was uneven again, and the earthworms drilled a lot of movement and made a lot of lumps on it, so it had to be leveled again.
Song Lan is back, and Da Nier is also on the field to help.
Cai Yazhi stepped forward and asked, "Sister Song, how did Daniel do in the exam?" ā
Song Lan heard Cai Yazhi ask about Da Nier's college entrance examination, and even her eyebrows were smiling: "It's okay, Da Nier's answer was compared last night, and she said that one book will definitely not be able to run." Although it is not public, but the pride on her face is real, in her eyes her daughter has always been her pride, not only considerate of her parents, but also never let herself * heart in learning, this time I can be admitted to a university, I can't help but be proud.
Zhang Taiping looked at Da Nier, who was silent next to him, and estimated that he would definitely not be able to run away with one book. Da Nier is just a nickname, the big name is Wang Hui, a very delicate girl, but a little shy, before she said two sentences, her face turned red, since she can say a line is no problem, then it must be that her estimated score is much higher than the score line in previous years.
"Ah, Da Nier can really do it, and it will definitely be great to come out then." Cai Yazhi is indeed sincerely blessed, and the villagers next to her also showed expressions of deep approval, in the eyes of the villagers, as long as they can be admitted to the university, it is a great thing.
Song Lan and Wang Min couldn't stop laughing, at this time they didn't think about the tuition fee, not to mention that with Han Miaomiao's example, their own peach trees would definitely make money, even if they couldn't make money, they would send their daughter to college.
After the sunny day, the May sun is hot, and after a day the field is dry and returns to the way it was before the rain. The wheat is finished and the sky is clear, and the next step is to mill the wheat. Zhang Taiping's family was the first to be reluctantly ranked.
The next morning, the sky and the sea were bright, and Zhang Taiping's family arrived at the field, and this time even the old man came over and picked up the wheat stacks and spread them on the field. After dawn, people from the same field came to help, and all the wheat on the five acres of land was on the field before the sun came out. This is where the role of this big field lies, people on the same field help each other, otherwise it would be a big project for the family to clean up their own wheat.
As the sun rises, you can hear the crackling sound of the wheat stalks being sunburned. Zhang Taiping asked Cai Yazhi to go back to cook, and watched under the big tree on the sideline by himself, there were several large pots of tea and some smoke beside the tree, all of which were prepared for the people who came to help.
At twelve o'clock, Zhang Taiping called the tractor that had been agreed in advance, only the front of the car did not have a carriage, and the back was pulled by an iron chain. The tractor circled over and over again, and the rocks behind it rolled over the wheat over and over again. This is called wheat milling, and the wheat grains on the sun-dried ears are crushed along with the husks.
It's not just Zhang Taiping who is doing this kind of thing, but all the big fields in the village are doing this kind of thing.
Fan Ming, who came to deliver water again, was very curious about this, and also stood under the tree, looked at the tractor that was turning in circles on the field and said: "This is a tractor, I only heard its name before, but I only saw it today." ā
The people who helped in the grinding process came one after another, and no one carried a four-pointed wooden iron fork on their shoulders. By the time the milling was finished, there was already a large group of people sitting under the trees on the sidelines.
After the grinding, Zhang Taiping gave the driver a pack of cigarettes, but the driver was not polite, put away the cigarettes and drove to other large fields. The people on the sidelines picked up the iron fork and began to enter the field, turning the milled wheat stalks over in place and raising them, and drying them in the sun, and they had to grind them a second time after two or three hours.
After finishing it, the old village chief simply didn't leave, and sat under the tree with Zhang Taiping and drank tea and waited for the second time. There were also several people such as Wang Peng sitting together.
The old village chief looked at the wheat drying on the field, and said with joy on his face: "This year's wheat is the best I have encountered in these years, I don't know if I can beat 800 catties of one acre." ā
Old man Qian said: "Judging from the way it looks this year, it may be more than 800 catties, and the quality of the wheat is also very good, and the grains are full and round." "The more I talked, the more excited I became.
It's no wonder that he, as long as he is a farmer, no one will not be excited to see the harvest for a few years.
