"Well, just tell my brother about this, don't tell my mother!" Zhang Heng instructed.

The younger sister nodded heavily, she knew that her brother had far more things to do than her mother, how could she arrange it in the Tibetan hotel after her father came back, and her father's driver and bodyguard listened to her brother the most, this was wrong, her little head even suspected that all this was arranged by her brother, but she knew that her brother loved her the most, and that was enough.

"Didn't you go and catch it before you ate? Did you catch it? Zhang Heng interjected the topic and said.

My sister pouted and said, "Don't mention it, there are too many people, and they were all shocked when I went." ”

Zhang Heng smiled and rubbed his sister's long hair, knowing that in Shu called Ling Ang'er, which means the meaning of the sound, but only the male will chirp, the female is not able to make a sound, and he likes to lay eggs under the orange tree, and when the time comes, the larvae will climb the branches at night to shed their shells and spread their wings, in the early years, an orange tree can pick dozens of known shells, yellow color, living or present, similar to the appearance of bamboo shoot insects, and knowing that the shell is also a medicine primer, the town medicinal herb shop will accept it, Zhang Heng went to find it when he was a child and used it to sell it to repay the money.

Mature people like to absorb the sap of walnut trees the most, and may also like other tree species, but what Zhang Heng has seen is still walnut trees, and it is possible to see hundreds of them climbing on it at a time, and a fright is like a small dark cloud spreading its wings and flying high.

"Let's go, my brother will take you to catch it!" Zhang Heng said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, if you catch it, put it on a rope!" My sister was excited.

Zhang Heng put his sister on his shoulder, shouted and ran home, first looking for a bamboo pole of moderate size, preferably dry. Because it is light, then a piece of bamboo one centimeter wide was taken. Bent to the size of a palm, the bamboo was chosen because the spider's web was to be wrapped next. Bamboo sticks nicely to it.

There are actually two kinds of knowledge in the village, one is black with a big thumb, and the other is grass blue, quite small, only the small nail is big, like to lie in the grass, now it is not easy to find, when I was a child, I often caught it and put it in the stationery box, this can be grasped directly by hand. It's all about speed.

As for spiders, there are many species, although spiders are poisonous, but rarely heard of biting happens, there are four common kinds, the first is the size of a baby's fist, likes to cling to the wall, can hang upside down on the roof to climb, look very scary; The second type likes to build a large web on the edge of the tile, which is a common spider. thumb size; The third type is the soil spider, which lives on the earthen wall and weaves a dense web the size of a coin, under which the spider hides. Nothing aggressive, earthy white in color, this mesh can heal wounds. The villagers had cut their hands, so they looked for this kind of net to cover the wounds. Can stop bleeding. The fourth type likes to build small nets in the land, and it is also the most poisonous. Too unlucky can also be bitten.

The two siblings went in search of a second spider, whose web was bright and the size of a small dustpan.

"Brother, look, there's it there!" My sister pointed to the front and shouted.

Zhang Heng smiled, and soon took his sister and ran over, put the bamboo pole circle down, and then rotated, winding the sticky web to it, and the spider naturally avoided it, and after a while, it would form a new web, as concocted, and wrapped five webs, which were already quite dense at this time, and touched it with his hand, there was obvious stickiness, and it became.

The two brothers and sisters slipped away to the walnut tree again, the hotter the weather, the more they knew, at this time the sun was shining, it was a good time, they could hear the chirping sound of knowing from afar, it was not easy to distinguish male and female from the appearance, only to catch the hand and turn it over to see the belly tail to distinguish, of course, it can also be distinguished by calling and not calling.

The tree is full of green walnuts, you have to wait for the harvest of rice to pick walnuts, you have to remove the outer layer of shell, you can also wait for some time to wait for the shell to be old, this has to be picked down and knocked on the line, but the general villagers are in a hurry, wait for the ripe to pick it off, at this time it is more troublesome to go to the shell, even knock with grinding, the hands will be stained with green and yellow juice, it is not easy to wash clean, see who has this color on the hand to know that knock the walnut to eat.

The treetop in front of me is not big, basically there is only one chance to shoot, and after a net, the rest of the treetops will be frightened.

"Brother, quick, there are three of them over there, the net is there." The younger sister urged, but her voice was very low and very nervous.

Zhang Heng nodded, and didn't make a sound, but it was funny in his heart, it was not easy to grasp it with his current means, as long as he got close and dragged into the space and then returned, so that it would be directly in his hands, there were many ways to use this, at this time it was just to satisfy his sister's childlike fun.

If you want to be an actor, in fact, he is still qualified, and as soon as his hand moves, the spider web will be covered......

"Hit, all three, brother, you're so amazing!" My sister jumped up, clapping her hands and cheering.

My sister was happy, of course he was also happy, and immediately took off the bamboo pole, and took down the three fluttering on it, knowing that it is different from the bamboo shoot insect, it has no attack power, it can't bite people, and the small claws can't hook people, the head and back shell are very hard, and it feels quite good in the hand.

"There are two males who will bark, go, go home and tie up the string!" Zhang Hengle said hehehe, knowing that he is more afraid of rainy days, and it is easy to pick up knowledge on the mountain road after heavy rain.

"Okay, okay!" My sister clapped her hands.

On the way back, I saw the longhorn beetle insect on the pear tree again, this is a pest, the body is long, the tentacles are also long, like to clip off the branches, the general villagers see it and take a long thorn of the orange tree and then pierce the longhorn and nail it to the pear tree, Zhang Heng did not do this kind of thing.

After nailing the longhorn beetle, I picked a few green-skinned pears, there is a lot of juice, but there is also a lot of slag, it is difficult to swallow, this is an old breed.

"Click!" My sister grabbed it with one hand, and took a bite of the pear with the other hand, who would have thought that she would say: "Brother, let me tell you, I ate a lot of delicious fruits in my dream, which are thousands of times better than this pear!" ”

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "The things in the dream can also be taken seriously!" ”

"But brother, everything I learned in my dreams is true, and I can do arithmetic problems in the fifth grade of primary school." My sister is gone.

"Hehe, then I'm working harder, dreaming a few more times, and I'll sign up for junior high school at the end of the month." Zhang Heng encouraged.

――――――――

Not for a while. When the two siblings returned home, there was a lively and noisy scene again. The entire dam was put to use, and a tarpaulin was torn from it. The table for eating was already set up under the cloth, and it was said that there were eighty tables, but where to find so many tables, even if they found it, there was no place to place it, so they used the old method in the village to divide it into several rounds to eat.

That is, the first batch of guests will immediately clean up the table and replace the next batch when they eat, which was called "flowing water seat" in ancient times! As long as people don't stop, the table will not stop, and the result will be that some people will eat one round and run to eat two rounds. But it's only a few, most of them are just naughty children, with small stomachs but big eyes.

Whoever runs a banquet in the village is like this, and the nearby people gather tables and benches together, no, there are already people carrying tables one after another, the size is different, but it is more atmospheric, and it is basically a square table. A table seats only eight people, while the round table outside usually seats ten people, which is a bit more crowded than the eight-person table, and the eight-person table is all on a long bench. It's boxy, two people on a bench, and if you meet a left-hander, you will make a joke. This chopsticks will have to fight.

Dishes and chopsticks are also carried from various household baskets, as well as steamers and so on. As for the stove, it is also easy to build, just build a circle cage with bricks. It's simple and convenient, but it's appropriate to use honeycomb coal for such a stove, a few cents a piece, about 500 for eighty tables, or you can use firewood sticks, just to let people guard it, which is a little troublesome.

Uncle invited a famous chef nearby to take care of affairs, not to mention the salary, when the time comes, you can seal a red envelope, in addition, the old mother who came to help, there is also a little daughter-in-law, but all of them are virtuous people, and they can also get red envelopes.

The cutting board is also ready, directly dismantling the wooden door panel of the old house to use, more than one meter wide and nearly two meters long, which can be used by several people at the same time to cut vegetables, and directly dismantle the three door panels and erect them with benches.

The rest of the big pots, baskets, dustpans, baskets, etc. are readily available, mostly made of bamboo, Zhang Heng's grandfather is doing this, and there is no shortage of these things at home.

The ingredients have also been purchased from the market town, don't think that the village is full of farmland and there is a shortage of vegetables, because the planting technology is not developed, which leads to a pitiful lack of fresh vegetables in each season, sometimes between two or three dishes in a month.

Each table of steamed chicken and duck is indispensable, a large steamer is generally a table of real dishes, there are: "sauce steamed elbow meat, salted vegetable button meat slices, sweet potato brown sugar sandwich slices, egg meat balls, fried crispy pork lumps, glutinous rice sugar sliced meat, yellow flower green steamed chicken, radish strips steamed duck, soft-shelled turtle soup, keel lotus root, snow bean pig's trotter pork ribs, pork belly bacon slices and so on. ”

In addition, stewed and stir-fried dishes are of course indispensable, such as stuffed shrimp, large slices of pork back to the pot, small fried shredded pork, ham belly strips, konjac roast duck, soybean roast chicken, bamboo shoot pork ribs, spicy fish with sauce, beer rabbit and so on.

There are also cold dried vegetables, which are indispensable, such as large knife ear slices, folded ear root chicken nuggets, Qingshabu hairy tripe, dry beef, camphor tea duck, plate duck, braised pig's head meat, chestnuts (pig tongue), cold pork liver, sausage slices, salted crispy peanuts and so on.

Generally, there are about eighteen dishes on a table, and the average person has more than two dishes, among which the steamed dishes are indispensable, and the rest of the dishes depend on the season, the portion is sufficient, and it is absolutely enough, even if the villagers can eat it, they can't eat it all.

Then there will be a bottle of liquor on each table, the beer tube is enough, and a pack of cigarettes will be thrown on the table, such as encountering some particular, but whenever you see a man will send a pack of cigarettes, and this cigarette is generally mainly seven yuan, can be ten yuan even if it is more decent, wine is generally about 30 yuan a bottle, most of the Shu choose Fenggu or Luzhou Laojiao, the rest of the liquor is enough, drinks and so on are also taken casually, this is to take care of children, all say that children have small stomachs and big eyes, in fact, before the table to drink drinks, in the end can not eat much food, Often staring at a pot to eat, the best meat dishes are into the stomach of adults.

If eight big men get together at a table, it will be a tragedy, for example, there are only eight slices of egg meat balls in a bowl, everyone can eat it, you want to eat the second slice but it is gone, several of them are troublesome, and ordinary people can only eat when they are on the table.

For example, this round slices, first of all, the meat is minced, close the starch, salt, pepper noodles and then evenly spread on the large steamer, about two wide is enough, and then smear a layer of beaten egg juice on it, after steaming, the inside is tender and the outside is yellow, in the cut into slices, eight slices for a table in the bowl, under the bowl is yellow flowers, kelp and other ingredients, no water is put in it, directly into the soup with steam, the taste is quite good.

The two siblings watched with great interest, and occasionally helped out, and naturally there were times when they stole their mouths.

"Brother, we're going to fight the tooth sacrifice!" My sister stuck out her tongue, which was spicy by a slice of red meat.

The so-called tooth sacrifice is to eat the table noodles, the meaning of being able to eat good things, Zhang Hengle said: "If you have something to eat, you have to kill pigs in the afternoon, and it is almost enough to kill four heads!" ”

"Oh yes, the pork in our village is delicious, don't you eat pig-killing dishes at night!" Xiaoyi was a little greedy, although she had helped her mother sell pork in the city for two years, but the meat outside really couldn't be compared with the villagers' own raising, and the fresh pig-killing dishes were definitely the best!
