Chapter 0195: Ten Thousand Roots
"Brother Dazhu." Zhang Heng opened his mouth and said.
When Zhang Dazhu heard this, he grinned and shouted, "Jiu'er, I'm here." ”
Zhang Heng nodded and greeted him, Brother Dazhu's surname is Mu Ne, but he likes to watch the excitement, but people who are not familiar with him generally don't open their mouths to speak, and they will shake their heads tremblingly every few minutes, looking even more stupid, people are actually very responsible, and they are also willing to work, but now the young women in the village can't be found at all, even if most of the women who stay in the village to farm are married to classmates or alumni, and the remaining half are introduced by matchmakers to get married.
Brother Dazhu has been on a blind date many times, but in the end, he died without a problem, and he is now almost thirty years old.
"Come on, why do you bring so many things?" Zhang Heng said so, but he immediately took the snakeskin bag in Zhang Dazhu's hand, and inside was a big rooster, and the snakeskin bag opened a hole, just exposing the head of the chicken.
At this time, Zhang Dazhu was also carrying a huge canvas old-fashioned backpack, and the other hand was carrying a large mud-colored bag. The clothes on the body are the kind of old-fashioned Zhongshan suit with four purses, although the material is not thick, it is long-sleeved, the lower body is a pair of black pants, and the foot is a pair of imitation military rubber shoes. ”
Zhang Heng smiled and patted Da Zhu's shoulder, Da Zhu was a little shorter than him, but his figure was much stronger, with an ordinary Chinese face, short hair on his head, cut by the village head, only two yuan.
"Brother Dazhu, don't worry, your daughter-in-law will have it sooner or later." Zhang Heng smiled and beckoned Dazhu out of the station, at this point in time, he could only take a taxi back.
When in the car, Zhang Heng watched Dazhu keep staring at the stopwatch, occasionally looked at the scenery in the window excitedly, a look that wanted to ask but didn't know how to ask, as if he saw himself at the beginning, although Dazhu was wooden, but simple numbers and words are still recognized, this is the benefit of being born in modern times, many old people in the village have not read, but because they want to catch up with the market, there are many times, and they will do these things, and the environment makes people.
After getting out of the car, the sky had darkened, but it was a lively time in the market, Zhang Heng couldn't help but ask: "Dazhu, what is your bag?" ”
"It's ten thousand roots, dug before going out, and the old man said that he ate it smoothly and gave it to his aunt." The advantage of Dazhu is that he is honest, and the uncle will do whatever he says.
"Ten thousand roots?" Zhang Heng tried hard to recall that he had a little impression, he was very small, but there were many knots under a bead, so he took a soil name called Wangen. This is the earliest old variety of sweet potato in the village, and this kind of red potato is almost extinct in the village, at least the last time Zhang Heng saw it was when he was seven years old.
"The seeds sent by Wu San, who drove the horse in the mountains, were planted by the old man for more than a year, and he dug them up before leaving and called for me to bring them out." Dazhu explained, in fact, Dazhu is not stupid, most of the time is normal, just don't talk to others, and the sentences are sometimes a little confusing, but you can understand it when you are familiar with it.
As for Zhang Heng, the two are cousins, and Zhang Heng also grew up watching Dazhu, so naturally there is no such thing as being born.
Not long after, as soon as he arrived home, several cold dishes had already been placed on the dining table, all of which were meat dishes, and the air was filled with a strong fragrance.
"Auntie!" Dazhu is a little restrained, almost thirty years old, but his mentality may be smaller than Zhang Heng, and he can be regarded as a child.
"Okay, Dazhu, the road is going well." The mother answered enthusiastically, and a big apple was stuffed into her hand for the big pillar.
At this time, Zhang Heng helped unload the things brought by the big pillar, and the big was also grabbed out of the snakeskin pocket.
"Brother Dazhu." My sister's voice came, although my sister has been out for two years, she has reached the age of remembering at the age of ten, so she naturally recognizes this cousin, and she has gone up the mountain to cut pigweed together.
"Xiaoyi has grown taller, like a city person." Dazhu said with a big grin.
Zhang Heng moved the bench out at this time, and talked with Dazhu, although the small courtyard at home is good, it is still a little narrower, there is no hall and living room, it is not very convenient to entertain guests, and now only the first will live.
My mother and sister went to the kitchen to stir-fry the vegetables, and it didn't take long for the family to come to the table, the meal was very rich, and there were fish dishes, and the fish was indispensable for entertaining guests in the village, and even if the guests didn't like it, you had to serve it.
"Dazhu, don't be unreasonable when you come here, just like in your own home, quickly put down your chopsticks." As she spoke, the mother clamped a hoof tip to the big pillar, which was the best part of the pig's trotter.
Dazhu grinned happily, and then ate it in a big gulp, this amount of food is very fierce, the bucket bowl in the village can be added three times, and a meal of eight taels of rice can't run.
But Zhang Heng found that Dazhu was still a little restrained, although he put down the chopsticks, but only sandwiched the dishes on the plate in front of him, and smiled bitterly, he had seen a banquet with his own eyes before, and an old man only sandwiched a plate of cucumbers in front of him, not that he didn't like to eat other dishes, but his face was thin and he couldn't stretch out his chopsticks.
Now, of course, there is a mother to greet him, and gradually Dazhu also let go, and he picked up the big fat braised pork and ate it violently, after all, he is a person in a big house, and Dazhu quickly adapted to the unfamiliar environment.
Zhang Heng comforted in his heart, "Maybe bringing the big pillar into the space is also a kind of exercise for him, just like him, he has grown up in a short time." ”
After eating, Zhang Heng looked at the time and was ready to go, not that he couldn't stay, but the sooner Dazhu entered the space, the better, otherwise he woke up half a year later, his original promise was to slaughter the nearby carnivores next year, that is, tomorrow, but he couldn't break his promise, and he had to prepare reward gifts in a hurry this year, so he couldn't afford to delay.
"This is 10,000 roots, why do you still have this thing?" Mother's voice was a little surprised.
When Zhang Heng heard this, he asked suspiciously: "Mom, isn't the 10,000 root root a sweet potato of the old variety?" ”
I didn't think about it, but my mother replied: "This is different from sweet potatoes, don't we have four acres of land to use now, Mom is still thinking about what to plant in the past two days, and now it is the most suitable with these 10,000 roots." ”
"Mom, what do you mean?" Zhang Heng really didn't understand, although sweet potatoes are also valuable in the city, raw sweet potatoes are bought for about a dollar and a catty, but they can't compare to other vegetables, and he was also thinking about what to plant in the soil.
A few days ago, an old lady came to the market to find hemp, which is called 10,000 roots in our village, saying that the body will not absorb the sugar in this kind of red root, and it is the most suitable for diabetics to eat this, and it will not worsen the condition after tasting the sweetness, and it can also detoxify and prevent cancer...... "Mother narrated.
Hearing this, Zhang Heng asked, "Is there anything sold in the market outside?" ”
The mother replied: "How can anyone sell it, now there is no one in the village to plant, the yield is low and it takes more than half a year, it occupies a lot ......of land, and it is not delicious to add rice to cook, so it is only very sweet to eat raw."
"What about the price?" Zhang Heng asked the key.
The mother shook her head and said, "This mother doesn't know, but the old lady said that she was willing to pay ten yuan a pound to buy it, so ah, my mother pondered that the four acres of land were empty and empty, and it would be easy to plant some 10,000 roots, and maybe she could make some money." ”
"So expensive?" Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, and immediately couldn't help but take out a few tens of thousands of roots from the bag, planning to try the taste, when he was seven years old, he saw other families plant, because the vine seedlings were too special, all of them were a little impressed, but he really hadn't eaten them before.
Well, the shape is similar to that of sweet potatoes, and the mud is still fresh, this is because it has just been dug up, but when he peeled the skin of 10,000 roots, he was stunned......
