Chapter 585: The Dog Pulls the Plow

"Wow, that's great, Brother Cao left me two, no, keep three, I want to eat eggs while soaking in the hot springs, hehe, it's such a beautiful enjoyment." Little was yelling and laughing on the side.

Taking advantage of Lao Cao's efforts to cook eggs, Zhou Yu also got up and took out a few bottles of wine from the back basket, and then took out eight goblets, first poured four full glasses and handed them to the four beauties, and then carried two bottles back to the pool, and the brothers poured themselves drinks.

"Wow, I said you four guys really know how to enjoy it, you even brought red wine. Well, soaking in the hot springs, eating fruits, tasting red wine, and having two boiled eggs later, although a little nondescript, is really a rare enjoyment.

Come, Da Biao and the three brothers, let's take a sip and celebrate today. Zhao Qian was really happy, so she didn't feel so relaxed, she didn't expect to come to such a magical place to take a hot spring today, so she said to the four men with pride.

"Sister-in-law has spoken, we have to go, come, cheers......"

After Zhou Hu finished speaking, the eight people happily touched it, and one drank half a glass of red wine, and then continued to eat and drink in the pool, which was very comfortable.

A few minutes later, Lao Cao climbed out of the pool again, took out a green-skinned egg with a stick, and broke the shell impatiently before it was cold, and soon a white boiled egg appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Well, as the first person to boil eggs, I think it's necessary for me to taste what this hot spring boiled egg is like for everyone."

Lao Cao swallowed his saliva and said. Then he took a big mouth and bit off half of the egg and began to chew it. The remaining half of the egg is white and trembling, and the egg white is wrapped in half of the red egg yolk, which looks fresh and soft and mouth-watering.

The guy chewed a few bites and couldn't wait to put the remaining half in his mouth. After that, he wiped his big mouth and shook his head and said, "It's delicious, it's so delicious." I've never eaten such a delicious egg in my life. Come on, come on, one by one. I'm going to boil all the eggs. ”

After the eggs in the small pool were ready, everyone was really hungry because they had been soaking in the hot spring for a long time, so they quickly peeled the eggs and ate them in large gulps.

I don't know if it's because the eggs themselves are good or because they're boiled in hot springs, but everyone agrees that it's the best hard-boiled egg they've ever eaten in their lives. In particular, peacock eggs and turkey eggs are simply the best among eggs, the egg whites are warm and clear, melt in the mouth, and the egg yolk is delicate and sweet. When swallowed, it has a lingering aftertaste.

After the last day, Zhou Yu went ashore and picked a few big peaches, washed them and tasted them, and found that these peaches were not only ripe, but also tasted better than those big peaches in his peach forest.

Soaking in the hot springs, eight people completely let go of their minds, relaxed, and immersed themselves in the embrace of nature, absorbing the essence of the "natural oxygen bar" and feeling the fun of bathing in the hot spring.

The eight of us were really crazy today, and we had lunch in the cave at noon. It wasn't until it was almost dark that I was reluctant to leave here. Because they were so happy to play, they didn't know when the snow stopped.

Seeing that these young people had finally returned, the old people who were waiting for them to have dinner were relieved.

Eight people changed their clothes and came to the restaurant, and tonight Chef Liu made a big pot of multigrain porridge and a few light side dishes, the main food was millet noodles and white noodles and square cakes steamed together. Since everyone soaked in the hot spring for another afternoon. So at this time, they were all hungry, and they ate like a storm, and even Qingqing and Xiaoxiao, who had very little food, drank two bowls of porridge and ate a piece of square cake.

Seeing the young people eating happily, all the old people smiled with satisfaction. Mrs. Li smiled at Zhou Yu's table and teased, "I said." It's freezing and snowing, where are you young people going crazy today? Look at what makes you hungry? Huzi, this kid has eaten five bowls of rice and four square cakes. If you follow your way of eating, you still have to eat Xiaoyu poorly? ”

"Hey, hey. Taigong, we went to a good place today, do you know what a good place to go? Hot springs, a few of us went to the hot springs. Don't talk about me yet, when you go there and soak it for a day, I guess you can eat more than me. ”

"What, hot springs? I said three donkeys, we still have a hot spring here? The old lady asked in surprise.

"Of course there is, right down the camel hill, where there's a big waterfall and there's a cave behind the waterfall.

By the way, this is the place where my second uncle found the chrysanthemum wine. A little further down the place, there are a large group of hot spring pools, and the water in them is always hot, so it is really comfortable to take a dip.

Today we have experienced it, and we will take you to enjoy it in two days, and it is good for the body for the elderly to soak in the hot springs in winter. Hehe, make sure you soak the first time and want to soak the second time. ”

"Okay, okay, the old men haven't been in the hot springs yet, so I have to go over and feel what I say this time." Mrs. Liu said openly.

Everyone was talking, when they saw Wang Zhijiang walking in excitedly.

"Oh, isn't this Shie? Why did you come here so late? Isn't there something wrong? The old lady stood up and asked.

"Master, I don't have anything to do, I want to come over and walk around when I'm not full, and by the way, I want to discuss something with the children, you always continue to eat, you don't need to greet me."

After saying hello to the old people, he came straight to Zhou Yu and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, the snow is heavy enough this time, and there will be no shortage of good things on such a big snowy mountain." So tomorrow I want to go hunting in the mountains.

This is not the afternoon, I heard your eighth uncle say that Da Biao and Xiao Cao are here with their daughters-in-law, and Huzi and Xiao Xiao are also here, so I will inform you, if you are willing to go, I will take you with me, just to experience the fun of hunting in the snow. What's going on, are you going? ”

"Go, uncle, I like hunting, and I've heard that hunting after the snow is particularly exciting, and if you're lucky, you can catch pheasants with a roe deer on the open snow, so I specify that I want to go."

The other young people also had their eyes shining when they heard this, and they must go and see such a good opportunity. Hunting in the mountains after the snow is exciting to think about.

After the end, everyone decided to come down. Except for Liu Juan'er, who is already pregnant, and is physically inconvenient, all the young people have to follow Wang Zhijiang into the mountains to hunt.

Look at the excited look of these young faces. Wang Zhijiang poured a scoop of cold water and said seriously: "Let's hunt is hunting, but this snow is not small after all, and the road into the mountain should also be blocked, so this road is very hard, and you can't be tired when the time comes." I can't go halfway and come back, so it's too late to quit now. After speaking, he glanced at Qingqing and Xiaoxiao a few times.

"Uncle, don't worry, my sister-in-law and I are in good health, and we will definitely not become a burden, uncle, you must take us with you." Qingqing dragged Wang Zhijiang's arm and sprinkled a rare time.

"Hahaha. Okay, for the sake of my niece and daughter-in-law, I have to take you with me. But my two eldest nephews finally found such a beautiful daughter-in-law as the two of you, and I, who am an uncle, are reluctant to let you be tired.

Anyway, it has snowed three times in a row since the beginning of winter, and the snow in the mountains should be very solid, so I made the plow at home yesterday and brought it to the mountain tomorrow morning, and then you girls will sit on the plow and let the big black and big white pull you. I see that the seventeen big dogs are getting stronger and stronger day by day, and I will make sure that it will not be difficult for you to pull them at all. ”

This sentence completely ignited Lao Cao's passion. Dog pulling a climbing plow? Although it is a traditional project of the Northeast people, after the liberation, except for the mountain people in the mountains who still use it in winter, most people have never seen it. Except for Zhou Yu, who used to ride a dog plow with his uncle when he was a child. Others have just seen it on TV. Now that I heard that I can have the privilege of playing again, how can I not be excited and excited?

In anticipation of getting on the dog's plow, the young man was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night. Even in my dreams, I dreamed that I was riding on a climbing plow and being pulled by a group of big dogs through the forest and across the snowfield.

Early the next morning. Wang Zhijiang was sent by Zhou Ding's military carriage with a climbing plow, followed by Shui Sheng and Wu Laoer. These two also heard that Wang Zhijiang was going to hunt today, so they also came with a dead face. The purpose is self-evident, of course, I also want to sit on the dog and pull the plow.

Wang Zhijiang should not have been in a hurry yesterday, he actually made four climbing plows, on which the leash and reins are installed, as long as the leash buckle is put on the dog, it is very convenient. And these climbing plows are not small, and each one can seat at least three people.

To say that dog-pulled climbing plough has a long history in the Northeast, and legend has it that it existed during the Kublai Khan period of the Yuan Dynasty.

In the winter of the Northeast, thousands of miles of ice and snow drift, it is not easy for people to travel, once the heavy snow covers the mountain, the simple roads are all buried by snow, not to mention that the carriage and ox cart are not working, even the speeding car has become a snail in the snow, and it is not possible to climb far for a long time. Sometimes, even when the wheels are spinning, they can't move forward half a step and are forced to break down.

But the wisdom of the common people is infinite, because the dog is particularly resistant to the cold, and the dog in the north is full of tenacity, so the people put the dog in the rope sleeve of the plough, like a horse-drawn cart, buckle the splint under the dog's neck, tie the belly belt, or two dogs pull a climbing plow, or four dogs pull a climbing plow.

If you go to relatives, you will take two dogs; If you pull something, you can put on four dogs, and at most you will have six dogs. Driving a dog to climb a plow is the same as driving a wagon, holding a whip in his hand and shouting, but it is much less laborious than driving a horse-drawn cart. There is such a saying in the Northeast folk, "It's really strange in the Northeast Northeast, the car is not as fast as the plow."

Dogs are better than horses, and they don't need to whip them, they just hold them for example. As soon as the master gets on the plow, he shouts "Ride!" "The dog will be happy, and he will run and smoke.

Before liberation, almost every household in the mountains had a lot of dogs, and some even raised more than a dozen. The dogs they raised were fat, mighty and majestic, like little tigers, and as long as a dog bit the dogs in the whole village at night, they would smell the wind and rush up. Not to mention that the wild wolves dare not enter the village, even the black bears with strong bodies have tasted their power, and they all stay away when they see them.

At that time, a few dogs and a few climbing plows were a world of people, and there were endless stories. (To be continued......)

PS: It took six hours to write these two chapters, which is really hard. In the face of getting better and better results, I really don't dare to be presumptuous, I can only work hard and hard, thank you! (It's the middle of the month, and the monthly pass is a little bleak, so let's give a boost to morale.) )
