Coming out of the grocery store, the big axe in Liang Chuan's hand was quite conspicuous, Liang Chuan was tall and strong, and he was like a strongman robbing the road, and everyone in the past avoided it. Liangshan's black whirlwind uses this kind of weapon, killing people without blinking, people blocking and killing Buddhas, the difference is that Liang Chuan's appearance is gentle, especially his delicate long hair, which does not seem to have the violent atmosphere of the black whirlwind.

I can't stand the blind thinking of others, I really didn't recruit Liang Chuan, so he took out the hemp rope in the basket he had just recruited his brother, tied the axe to his body, and then wrapped the axe with the torn clothes of the younger brother. In this way, when others look at it and know that there is a big guy behind it, but they don't know that it is a big killing weapon like an axe, the fear is basically non-existent.

Brother Zhao is carrying money and an axe, and it is not easy to come back with hard work.

The two happened to meet the artist who came back.

She also has an extra basket behind her back, and she carries a lot of duck eggs on her back! There are also a lot of ingredients in his hands.

Yi Niang saw that Brother Zhao and Liang Chuan had bought everything they wanted, and she also said: "Our hometown used to make horns to eat at this time, and tomorrow is the winter solstice, I'll buy some vegetables and ingredients for you to eat tomorrow?" ”

Liang Chuan didn't hear clearly, Jiao'er? What is that...

Yi Niang led Liang Chuan and Brother Zhao to walk, and first went to the rice store to buy a bucket of rice, which was the staple food for the next few days, and it was not okay to be less. Then he weighed a pound of northern wheat flour, which is common in the north, but it is relatively rare in the south, and this wheat flour has been processed and milled, and the price is naturally much more expensive, and a pound of wheat flour went to 20 yuan.

Bought wheat flour and then Yi Niang led the two to buy a handful of celery, and then bought a shallot, and a little ginger, green vegetables are cheap in this place, everyone only looks forward to a little more oil and water in their mouths, who wants to eat green vegetables, later generations found a variety of vitamins and nutrients after people gradually changed the view that vegetables are not worth much, to later generations it evolved into a scene where vegetables are more expensive than meat, vegetables are cheap, it didn't cost a few copper plates to buy, and finally they went to the butcher shop, Zheng Butcher's butcher's butcher's shop.

On Zheng Tu's butcher shop, two lean little apprentices were busy processing all kinds of pigs in the water, Zheng Tu was lying on a rocking chair basking in the sun, and Liang Chuan and several people came to buy meat, not even looking at them, squinting to enjoy his sunbathing.

The little apprentice greeted Yi Niang, Yi Niang picked a piece of the fattest meat, generally this meat is too fat and will not sell too well, because it is too fat and the taste is definitely not good, but Yi Niang doesn't know whether she will choose or make it convenient, she chose the fattest meat on the stall, Liang Chuan can see a thick layer of fat on the meat, can this be delicious? Anyway, I just have to eat, no matter what the artist does!

Zheng Tu's butcher shop seems to have beef every day, is it possible that there are cows dying normally every day in Fengshan, is this impossible?

After buying these things, the three of them and one dog went home. Just burning a small furnace of charcoal in exchange for so many food and production tools, this transaction is really a good deal.

When I came back, I was still walking on the stone horse bridge, it was already late afternoon, and there were no pedestrians on the road. When I walked to the Longshui Temple, the small temple was still deserted just now, but now there was an old woman with disheveled hair kneeling on the futon in the temple and looking at the gods on the offering table, not knowing what she was praying for.

The old woman's clothes were more torn than those of her younger brother, and her hair was messy and uncombed, but she did not look like a madman or something, because she prayed so reverently, and those with mental problems would not have such a demeanor. Fengshan has so far made Liang Chuan's eyes see a relatively peaceful scene, and now the first time I see this scene, the contrast is a bit too big.

Seeing that Liang Chuan was fascinated, Brother Zhao couldn't help but come over and said, "Third brother, what are you looking at?" ”

"Brother Zhao, look, do you recognize that old woman? Seems to have something on your mind! ”

"She, everyone in Fengshan knows her, she's crazy!"

When Liang Chuan heard Brother Zhao's explanation, his brows furrowed, and he asked, "Crazy?" I don't think she's crazy like that! ”

"Her son was originally the most famous scholar in our Fengshan, and he was quite good at learning according to his talents, and many famous gentlemen said that this kid was a piece of reading material. It's just that later it seems that something was committed, and he was taken to the county prison and detained, and now it seems that it has been a year or two, and it stands to reason that the guilty should have been sentenced, and the innocent should have been released, but her son has been locked up in prison, and the poor old woman's husband has died early, and she has raised the child, and she finally looks forward to the time when she can take the scientific examination, and now no one will know if her son will die or live. ”

"Alas!" Brother Zhao sighed sadly and continued: "The old woman runs to the county seat every day, and when she sees people, she nagged that her son was wronged for not committing a crime, what kind of person is the county master, Wenqu Xing is down, then there will be a mistake?" It's not crazy, the county seat is also quite far away from our Fengshan, she goes back and forth every day, just for fear that she won't see her son for the last time, pitiful! ”

Liang Chuan sighed in his heart when he heard this, what kind of logic is it, the county official will not handle the wrong case? What kind of Confucius and Mencius collections do these county officials read, it's okay to write articles, let them investigate and solve the case, they will be a fart! Let them judge the case, and keep making mistakes, that's the real ancestor accumulating virtue.

"Let's go, I'm going to cook when I go back, don't look at it!" Yi Niang saw that the two of them were excited about everything, and she was in a hurry to go back to cook, so she could only urge the two of them.

Yi Niang spoke, and the two of them had to move on and go home. At the riverside, Liang Chuan and Zhao Di dug baskets full of clay, which were going to go back to burn charcoal and mud. The land along the river is very fertile, but unfortunately it is not developed, and the population is still an important factor that hinders the development of the south.

Liangchuan people are strong and strong, that basket of mud let Brother Zhao carry it, half of his life has gone, Brother Zhao has dozens of pounds on him, where can he afford it, he didn't go far, the beads of sweat as big as beans seeped down, his face was pale and pale, and he squatted on the side of the road and gasped like a cow.

Liang Chuan waved his hand at Brother Zhao and smiled, Brother Zhao had never done farm work, and his body was too weak, and it was too difficult for him to carry heavy objects. Liang Chuan took the basket on his brother's back and carried it, it was a bit weighty, but it felt average, it was not too difficult for him, there was not much burden, and the current body was too strong!

When she got home, Yi Niang went into the house with the things she bought. Liang Chuan and Brother Zhao took the basket of soil to prepare to burn charcoal, after all, from tomorrow onwards, they will send a hundred catties of charcoal to the pavilion every day, although Yi Niang used to chop firewood, but to burn a hundred catties of charcoal a day, you must use at least three hundred catties of firewood! Although there is already a pile of hill-like firewood at home, it can't withstand the toss for many years.

The charcoal can only be burned while going to the mountains to chop firewood, otherwise the sky will change one day, and there will be no firewood, then the task will not be completed, and the three of them can only drink the northwest wind!

Charcoal burning is difficult to say, but it is also simple to do, especially Liangchuan's local method of charcoal burning, as long as ordinary people have seen it, they will do it. Liang Chuan and Zhao Di worked together, Liang Chuan stacked firewood and heaped it one by one, Zhao Di poured out the basket of mud, added water to the mud, and added some nearby red soil, stirred the two kinds of soil together, and when Liang Chuan's firewood pile was almost stacked, he pasted the mud on it.

Brother Zhao made the mud good, leaving a few holes for ventilation. Because it takes 50 catties of firewood at a time, and 30 catties can be produced as big as the charcoal stove burned yesterday, and if you want to burn 50 catties of charcoal, you can simply prepare three charcoal stoves and burn the three charcoal stoves together, so that there will be no problem. When Brother Zhao finished the mud, Liang Chuan began to light the fire. The flames slowly grew stronger from the top, and the yellow flames danced happily and were full of energy!

This time, Liang Chuan was going to pinch the time, and the time was accurate, so as not to overburn the charcoal in the charcoal furnace, and all of it would be completely burned, and it would be in vain.

Yi Niang was busy in the house, and Zhao Di had to stay and wait for the fire to burn to the bottom to seal the mud, and the time for the charcoal to burn was long and boring, Liang Chuan looked at the house and there was something to do inside and outside the house, and he had nothing to do now. I thought about whether I should go to the house to see what the artist was doing.

The room was steaming hot and foggy. A cauldron of hot water was boiling on the stove, and the water was boiling and tumbling in the pot. Yi Niang sat on the bed on her thigh pillow with a wooden plate, on which there are pieces of dough, rolled out with flour bought in the bazaar, a small one, like a dumpling skin, next to the bowl put chopped pork cut green vegetables and small pieces of green shallots, this pork belly was chopped into a puree by Yi Niang, cut into fine green onions and ginger puree, stir evenly, red and green, very attractive. Yi Niang picked up a piece of skin, scooped up a spoonful of the meat and put it on the dough, then wrapped the dough, and then put it on another wooden plate on the side.

"You artist, what do you cook?"

Yi Niang took a look at Liang Chuan, continued to bury her head in her business, and said: "Today is the winter solstice, in our hometown every year to today, I will make horns to eat, in previous years, I wrapped it for you to eat, you can't remember, when I was young, my father and mother would make it for me to eat, eat this, and my ears will not be frozen off in winter!" ”

"Horn? You seem to be making dumplings, it's so good, and there are dumplings to eat! ”

"Dumplings? Do you also eat horns on the winter solstice? I remember you told me that you don't eat horns on the winter solstice, you eat glutinous rice balls! ”

"Actually, we eat everything there, and we don't pay attention to it, hehe." In later generations, when the materials were already quite abundant, eating these special foods was more of a commemorative event, but this kind of food can only be eaten during the New Year's holidays, where can it be eaten in ordinary times.

In the past few months, Liang Chuan has experienced too many things, it can be said that whether it is Ji Tailai, and now Liang Chuan's body has recovered his health, but his brain has not fully remembered the previous things, but it doesn't matter, as long as people are safe and sound, life can go on normally, and although Liang Chuan's brain is not completely good, he wants to say something completely different from before, just like a different person, all kinds of strange ideas, and they seem to be doing it right, so people don't know how to describe it, in short, it's a good thing, I wanted to wait for the New Year to eat this meal, but Yi Niang wanted to celebrate it in advance, and Chong Chong was happy, and it happened to be the winter solstice, so I would eat it today.
