Chapter 52: The Limelight
Wei Sanniang, Hu Lixiang, Xiang's, Wang's, and a large group of men and women stood in the middle of the dry land, and all of them looked at Zhang Yun, who was standing in the middle and talking endlessly.
“…… Have you not seen the knives that those servants carry, the blade of which can be used as a mirror, the tip of the knife can be used as a mirror, and the tip of the knife can cut the belly of a pig with a slight stroke, and even the back of the knife can be used as a knife......"
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
"Zhang family boy, what are you talking nonsense? Isn't it just a servant's sword? Is there such a god? Zhou Chengqi in the crowd questioned. It's all blown into a knife god!
"Uncle Zhou, don't believe it. Besides, am I a liar? Zhang Yun is a silent character, he doesn't talk much on weekdays, and it is really rare to see such a gushing boast, and everyone unconsciously believed it a little and nodded.
Seeing someone standing on his side, he looked proud, and continued to speak: "Didn't you see that boy make a move, and a street away, a flying knife threw it and chopped the thief to the ground......" As he spoke, he gestured with his hand, his hand raised high, and the scene seemed to appear in front of him again, with a light posture, a beautiful throw, pretending that something in his hand had been thrown out. It's a pity that I haven't practiced martial arts, so I don't have that temperament, my wrists are stiff, my posture is soft, I haven't learned anything at all, but I look like a little flower girl who is learning to sing for the first time.
One word, mother!
Plop pop...... Someone laughed.
"Eh, wait, Zhang family boy, didn't you say it was a servant? How did you become a son? can hit across the street, so how can he do it? Someone interrupted.
"Hehe, that's it, didn't you say a group of servants, how did they become a son?"
Zhang Yun was displeased with someone laughing, seeing that everyone was staring at him and listening very seriously, he immediately put the laughter behind, cleared his throat and continued: "It's a pretty boy with the servants, don't talk about his good looks, he is still powerful, but I saw him throw the knife out with my own eyes...... and hesitated a little: "As for whether he hit me or not, I don't know, but the audience exclaimed, and the thief who was caught, it must be the credit of the son......
"Oh, oh my God, it's so powerful, why haven't you heard that we have such a powerful official in Wei County before?"
"yes, it's exactly like the one in that play!"
"Hey, you old farmer, have you ever heard of a play?"
"Bah, I haven't eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run?"
"Ha, people's singing and singing songs are different from pork!"
"I'll you, you're not serious, aren't you just babbling with an orchid finger, it's not as good as our old cow." It was Xuan Shitai who spoke, and the old buffalo of the Xuan family often "mooed" at home.
The crowd burst into laughter.
The weather in winter is mostly cloudy, and the sun is lazy, as it is today, the sky is slightly blue, clear as blue, and on weekdays, everyone is working in the fields, and it is rare to have this opportunity to be idle today.
The sound of talking in the clearing, the sound of hip-hop, the joy of children, the exclamations, all converge into a pleasant tune.
I don't know when Tang Daming, who came here, stood in the open space and watched all this with a smile, good weather, good years, this good day is also coming! Raise your head and greet everyone: "Big guys, don't make trouble, gather here, have a meeting, have a meeting!" ”
With Tang Daming's greeting, people quickly gathered in the middle of the open dam.
After the boiling voice quieted down, Tang Daming put down the cigarette stick in his hand, straightened his waist, stiffened his face, looked serious, and stared around the crowd until the empty dam was completely quiet, and then said slowly: "We haven't had a serious village meeting for two or three years, everyone moved to the middle, stood far away, and I didn't hear it clearly for a while." I won't say it a second time! ”
After that, the people who were still standing around the dam immediately moved their steps again, and stood in the crowd one after another, and those who had the foresight went out with a small stool, and at this time found a flat place, put down the stool and sat down comfortably, and some saw that this assembly would not disperse in a while, and immediately found a stone or a stone pier, and also used it as a stool to sit on.
Wei Sanniang's family didn't take anything when they came out, at this time, the mother and daughter found a back position to stand, and Fox Dayou and Wang Changsheng squatted in another place, I don't know when the thirteen who came to run, and they also squatted next to the two.
Seeing that everyone was still listening to the greeting, Tang Daming's face looked much better, and he put the things he was holding on the ground with his hands behind his back, and everyone saw that Tang Daming had brought something else at this time.
Someone couldn't help but be curious, and immediately stretched his neck below and shouted at the village chief Tang Daming: "Village chief, what are you mentioning?" ”
Tang Daming lifted the thing on the ground again and opened it, and the tiny seeds were brownish-black, small, round, like rapeseeds. Looking at this thing was like looking at silver, he immediately smiled, grabbed a handful and spread it out in his hand to show everyone: "Do you know what this is?" ”
The man immediately stood up, stretched his neck long, as if he didn't look carefully enough, ran up again, pinched two grains from Tang Daming's hand, touched and smelled them, and then threw them into his mouth to chew, and then spit it out all at once, and hesitated: "It doesn't seem to be rapeseed!" ”
This rapeseed is obtained from rapeseed, and rapeseed is not cultivated in this area of Weijia Town. Generally, when the rape is ripe, cut it, and then put it in the field to dry for a day or two, and when the rape is yellow and crisp, the rape is arranged on the ground one by one, and the connecting rod is taken to take turns to beat, and when the slender and slender fruit shell falls, the black and bright rapeseed inside is exposed. Then the rapeseed is gathered together, the ash inside is disposed of, and finally the rapeseed is squeezed out of the vegetable oil.
The rapeseed oil is very fragrant, not only can be eaten, but also used to light lamps. Some wealthy families use rapeseed oil when they need to light pots and lamps during festivals.
Therefore, rapeseed oil is very expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford it, and the yield is not as good as wheat, and it is more tiring to grow.
However, there are still some differences between the things in Tang Daming's hands and rapeseed in color, and the size of the seeds is also different, smaller and slightly flattened.
Tang Daming only smiled and didn't answer, and ran up a number of people one after another, but no one recognized what it was.
He smiled and waved everyone back to sit down, put the things back in the bag, pointed to the people below and said, "In vain, you are all authentic croppers, and you don't even know this kind of thing." I didn't know what it was at first, but I did know it was a vegetable seed! ”
Hearing this, a buzz stood below. Most of the people in this area of Hujia Village only grow rice and wheat, and most of the vegetables are eaten at home, and some are sold, all of which are common vegetables. Moreover, except for some individual dishes, everyone grows vegetables on weekdays, and the others go to the market to buy vegetable seedlings and come back to plant, how can anyone directly sprinkle vegetable seeds? Naturally, I don't know what kind of dish this is!
After listening to Tang Daming's words, a few people who often grew vegetables and brought them to the market to sell immediately stepped forward to take a look, Hu Dayou and Wei Sanniang were naturally very curious, and Hu Lixiang also pulled Hu Xiaomei over.
There was a small pile of vegetable seeds on the ground, surrounded by a group of heads, and the fox Xiaomei stood outside and stretched her neck to look at the things in the hands of others, and couldn't help but sigh.
She looks like she's seen that thing!
At this moment, I heard Tang Daming, who was standing outside the pile, looking at her with a smile behind his back and asking, "Second girl, do you see what it is?" ”
Before she could answer, she heard someone in the crowd muttering disdainfully: "What does the little girl know!" ”
This voice was heard by Hu Xiaomei at once, it was Tan's. Originally, she didn't want to come out, but after listening to Tan's words, she had changed her mind, reached out and grabbed the fox fence incense that was biting her lower lip next to her, looked at Tang Daming, smiled shyly, and said softly: "Once I rushed to the market, I seemed to see someone carrying a burden to sell, it seems to be called chrysanthemum!" ”
Tang Daming's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help nodding his head when he looked at Hu Xiaomei and praised: "You are so good-minded, you really let you say it right!" "Some merchants like to pick up stalls and sell them everywhere, so he doesn't doubt Hu Xiaomei's words at all.
A little girl can recognize this kind of thing, but she remembers it after seeing it once. Compare those old men who think they are good at growing crops on weekdays, and the mothers-in-law who think they are quick to be thieves.
Tan's heart is really not a taste, I didn't expect to meet a casual sarcastic Wei Sanniang's family from the beginning, and two sentences can make them show off!
