Chapter 58 The Origin of Chrysanthemum Wine 2
Zhou Dingguo was not interrupted by these two stinky boys at all, but continued: "It was the year when Xiaoyu was in his third year of high school, because the child was tired of studying, and the family had no money to buy any tonics, I still remember when I went to the town to have a parent-teacher meeting, their homeroom teacher talked to me, he said that it doesn't matter if the family is poor, at this time the child can not eat meat and tonics, but it is best to eat more fish at the same time, which can nourish the brain." At that time, the Hero Lake had not yet been managed by our village, and the people of our village would not let them go to the lake to fish, and the Langgu River was full of small fish and shrimp. There will be a lot of fish in such a big and deep lake, so the two of us weaved a big fishing net and I took it to Phoenix Mountain.
Everyone knows that on the Phoenix Mountain, because the commune opened mines and made steel, a lot of timber was destroyed, and the birds and animals that originally inhabited it were also frightened away, so almost no one went there to hunt in the past few decades.
After I got there, I first cast a few nets on the shore, don't you really catch a few grass carp of more than a catty, and after taking it home, Xiaoyu was so happy that he couldn't find the north, and he was in a hurry to make a meal of braised grass carp for Xiaoyu that night.
In this way, I go to Moon Lake every day or two to cast two nets, and our Xiaoyu can eat a few meals a week and replenish his brain, I don't know if this fish has worked, anyway, Xiaoyu has been admitted to a key university. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yu was full of emotion, and his thoughts returned to his high school days. No wonder the quality of food at home rose sharply in the year of the college entrance examination, and I could eat fish made by my mother several times a week. Why? Because the rest of Zhoujia Village has never caught so many fish from the Langgu River!
You must know that Zhoujia Village is eight or nine miles away from Phoenix Mountain, and it is close to the deep mountains and old forests, and it is very dangerous inside. The difficulty of my father going back and forth several times a week alone can be imagined, probably because he was afraid that he would feel sorry for his father and be distracted after knowing the Tao, so his father told a white lie.
Zhou Dingguo paused and continued: "But I don't know if the fish in this Moon Lake are too shrewd, after I fought on the shore for a few days, the fish gradually couldn't catch it, in order for Xiaoyu to have sufficient nutrition, I had no choice but to set up a raft and plan to try my luck on the edge of Sun Island in the center of the lake." Fortunately, God willing, there are not only many fish near Sun Island, but also a lot bigger.
In this way, I was farming and fishing at the same time, and it was the beginning of July. I still remember that day was a sunny day, I paddled the raft to Sun Island as usual, and when I got off the raft on the shore and began to continue fishing, what I didn't expect was that I had just caught a big carp and heard movement in the woods behind, I looked back and scared me half to death, you know what I saw? Blind bears, two blind bears!
As soon as I saw that the momentum was not right, I didn't even want the fishing nets, so I threw my legs away. I didn't dare to run in the direction of the raft because the bear was so close to the raft, but the sun island was connected to the mountains to the north, so I had to turn around and run towards the mountains behind.
But I couldn't outrun the blind bears, and it didn't take long for the two blind bears to catch up slowly. At that time, I had a thought in my heart, that is, I must not die, if I am gone, how will these orphans and widows live? Anyway, at that time, I didn't know what was wrong with Lu Dao, and I felt that I couldn't finish it.
But I always ran like this, sooner or later I had to be chased and bitten to death by the blind bear, I ran and found that there was a large waterfall formed by the spring of the mountain in the north, and I thought in my heart that it was better to run into the waterfall, so I ran in the direction of the waterfall, who knew that the two blind bears also followed, and I had no choice but to bury into the waterfall under the pressure of the waterfall.
What I never dreamed of was that behind the waterfall was not a mountain, but a large and spacious cave. At this time, I didn't care about being afraid, so I found a hidden place in the big cave and hid. After waiting for a while, I didn't see two blind bears coming in, so I guess this time this old life was picked up.
Because I was afraid that the bear would be blind, I didn't go far, so I simply walked around the cave, and I came across these four jars of chrysanthemum wine in the cave. At first, I didn't know that it was wine, but I didn't care about it when I picked it up, so I just kept it in the cellar. It wasn't until one day after Xiaoyu was admitted to college that Guilan reminded me that there were still four jars of things in the cellar, and I didn't know what the road was, so the two of us opened one and planned to see what it was.
You don't know the way, when we opened the sealed lid of the jar, the fragrance smelled so good, how to say, at that time I felt like I was going to become an immortal, in the clouds, very comfortable.
When we looked into the jar, there was no wine at all, but a thick green soft thing. I also like wine, I know that this is a wine paste formed by the wine for a long time, so I poured some mountain spring water into it, and then I was afraid that the alcohol would volatilize after a long time, so I went to the jar to three or four catties of loose liquor and then re-sealed it, and opened it a few days later to see that it was like drinking like this today.
Since this wine has a chrysanthemum flavor and is green, I named it chrysanthemum wine......"
After Zhou Dingguo's remarks, everyone was dumbfounded, but they didn't expect that there would be such a tortuous story in the middle of the origin of this chrysanthemum wine.
Wang Guilan's eyes were a little red and said: "The head of the family has a stubborn temper, and he has always thought that this matter is a bit embarrassing, so when you asked about the origin of this chrysanthemum wine, he was embarrassed to say that today he finally figured it out." ”
The old lady glared at Zhou Dingguo fiercely and said angrily: "Why do you say that my old Zhou family always gives birth to you fierce eyes?" What do you say you and the bear blind man are called? Could it be that you can still do it over the bear blind? What's the fuck to be ashamed of? When we beat the little devils, we couldn't beat them, weren't they also driven all over the mountain? Then take advantage of their inattention to the cold and give them a moment. Therefore, it is a truth to deal with brutes and little devils, and we must use the chairman's 16-character policy: I will retreat when the enemy advances, and I ......will chase after the enemy when he retreats."
Zhou Dingguo's brothers and sisters helplessly accompanied the old lady into that era filled with gunpowder again, while Zhou Yu and Zhou Hu glanced at each other and secretly muttered in their hearts: "Is it possible that Zhoujiacun expects future generations to behave and be civilized and courteous under the influence of this group of old men who dared to play with the little devils when they picked up the mountain knife?" Could it be that Taigong really doesn't know that the biggest tough eye in Zhoujia Village is him? ”
Of course, the two brothers would never dare to say these words in their hearts, and they could only be happy in their hearts, otherwise they would cause a big mess.
The night was getting deeper and darker, and the dew was getting thicker and thicker, Zhou Dingbang and his son helped his grandfather go home to rest, and Zhou Yu's family ended their day's life after cleaning up and happily fell asleep.
