Chapter 151: Horse Eggs Catch Fish
After the Lantern Festival, Fengshan is like a castrated kitten, there is no longer any vitality, everything returns to a peaceful life, the difference is that people seem to have something to look forward to, it used to be lifeless, and now people seem to have motivation for life, and their faces are full of vitality.
The agricultural work in the field seems to have been picked up by every household, even when the spring ploughing is to talk about a few people, do a while to rest for a while, and now everyone seems to have made an appointment, go out before dawn, husband and wife partners, the labor force in the family is all up, adults lead the plow, children carry water and pulp, and the family works hard in the field.
Last night, Xin Wuzhi couldn't bear to say goodbye to Liang Chuan at the gate of Xinghua City, Liang Chuan was 10,000 reluctant to give up this excellent young man, and expressed his willingness to fund this young man many times, so that he could calm down and gain a fame.
Xin Wuxian resolutely did not accept it, Liang Chuan's talent gave him a deep impression, his talent is limited, and now in addition to his martial arts, he can also handle it, and other things are like children compared to Liang Chuan. The trip to the northwest has strengthened my determination, and this time I will make a little plan, and I will leave for the northwest immediately in the next day.
The two cherished each other and hated each other, but they could only say goodbye in a hurry, and Xin Wuzhi said goodbye to Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan said that if there is fate, he will definitely see each other again in the future, that is, when he meets in the future, he hopes that both of them will be famous again with wealth and fame. Xin Wuxi nodded, his mouth was so bitter that he couldn't speak, this was Liang Chuan's hope for him, it was not easy, but he had to work hard.
Liang Chuan got up from sleep, went up the mountain to cut two moso bamboos, and carried them all in one go, and the weight of the two moso bamboos was not light. I dragged them back, and then helped them break them into bamboo strips and put them neatly in the yard to dry.
Then he went into the mountain again, and the matter of chopping wood and practicing the axe was delayed for a few days, which made his hands a little itchy, and he saw Xin Wuxi's miraculous swordsmanship, and he even dreamed of when he could be a hero so chic, carrying a sword to the end of the world, the road was uneven, and he drew his sword to help!
The craftsmanship of several women in the yard is getting better and better, they make a bamboo weaving a day, and the yard also piles up a lot of finished products they make, although the bamboo weaving made by Li Erhua looks the most mature and good-looking, but from a practical point of view, it will not be too bad, and it is not a problem to use it for a few years.
A few women, you asked me word by word about the wonderful program of the Xinghua Lantern Festival yesterday, Liang Chuan began to talk from the beginning of dancing and singing, talking about Shen Yuzhen's national color and natural fragrance, talent and color Shuangxin, Xin Wuxian swordsmanship, sword dancing and so on. ignored all the things that made him in the limelight, and even in the final stage of poetry and lyrics, he only talked about how talented Xu Yang was, and made a beautiful Lantern Festival poem. Even when he finally went to Xinghua County and met with the county magistrate, he didn't talk about it.
Liang Chuan's mouth is particularly eloquent, boring things can be told vividly, interesting things, that can be told in a dazzling way, anyway, it's boring when everyone works together, and there is no TV or anything, so technology changes life, with TV and the like, everyone looks at the series, who will bother to tell any story.
There are already a lot of bamboo weaving in the yard, and Liang Chuan is thinking about pulling all these bamboo weavings to Fengshan to sell first. Ye Xiaochai guards a leather bag company every day, and no one comes to take care of him, so she is about to get sick. Although it is said that the store sells feelings, but you can't consume feelings every day, and others will not be the same thing after a long time, and this method can only be used as a gimmick.
Now Liang Chuan plans to sell these bamboo buds in a unified manner, and then count them by piece, so that a few people in his own family don't have to count. But He Baozheng's wife also makes bamboo weaving together, and she has to calculate how many pieces she makes, and she has to pay her salary when she goes back. He Baozheng also said that after the last meeting of the villagers, many villagers saw that the women in their family had skills and wanted to come over to help. When the time comes, when this part of the labor force is absorbed, it is inevitable that they will be paid, and working for nothing is something that capitalist exploitation cannot do.
Brother Zhao is responsible for the progress of the new house and the procurement of various materials, I have known it privately a few times, these masters are very reliable, and they will not take advantage of Brother Zhao's youth to cheat him of project money or spend money indiscriminately. Now the younger brother will always ask Liang Chuan to buy materials from time to time, and people are becoming more and more shrewd. Liang Chuan handed over such a big project to him, and he was quite relieved.
A few days ago, Liang Chuan went to Nanxi to catch a few big fish, and after coming back, Yi Niang brushed a few times to turn it into a pot of delicious fish soup, because there were a lot of fish, he gave him two fish, and a few others were kept in a wooden barrel, poured some water, and the fish were swimming in it.
You can catch so many fish with a fish, you can't eat it all day, the fish soup is a good thing, it is fragrant and milky, and a small piece of ginger can be fishy. There is little mud in Nanxi, and it is all river sand, so the fish itself has a very light fishy smell. Pregnant women can use fish in the river to recover after giving birth and nourish milk. The price of meat is too expensive, and it is also quite a good choice with a little beans and fish.
At the beginning, everyone including He Baozheng didn't expect Liang Chuan to go to Nanxi to catch any fish, it was a livelihood for people with idle hands to eat and have nothing to do, besides, the water in Nanxi was so urgent, the tragedy of drowning happened more than once, Liang Chuan is the head of this family, what should the family do if something happens.
As a result, when he came back in the evening, Liang Chuan came back with a handful of fish, everyone was stunned, to say that the owner has the ability, the body is warm, it must be diving into the water to catch fish, I didn't expect to catch so many fish, the size is not small!
As soon as Liang Chuan came back, he asked Yi Niang to stew fish soup, and then explained to Li Erhua, asking her to make a few more fish dumplings like her, and today, Li Erhua has made up four fish dumplings, because this kind of fish worm does not have high requirements for texture, and it is strong, so it is faster than other bamboo weaving.
Liang Chuan got some more kitchen waste and rice bran, and then took all the five fish in one go, and went to the shallow where the fish were put last time.
When Liang Chuan arrived at the river, he saw that the four children were waiting for him by the river with a smile last time, looking at the frame of the four children, how could it seem that he had been waiting for a long time.
Ma Dan was more bold and said, "Uncle, you're here." We waited for you yesterday and thought you would come back to this river to catch fish. ”
Liang Chuan scolded with a smile: "Ma Dan, when you go back, your father didn't open your butt flowers, it seems that you don't know how to be afraid, and you still want to come to the river to play, aren't you afraid." ”
"What are you afraid of, it will happen everywhere, yesterday I accidentally stepped on the air, and I fell into the water, now I am careful, as long as I don't go into the water." Ma Dan looked like he was only five or six years old, but he wanted to follow them all the way down to escape from the famine in Shaanxi, and he had endured all kinds of hardships, but he had developed a spirit that was not afraid of heaven and earth.
Liang Chuan sometimes thinks that the kid who recruits his brother is not as good as this kid.
"Fengshan was so lively yesterday, didn't you go to see the excitement, what's so good about catching fish, you can only wait when you put the fish in the water, how boring."
"Yesterday we came during the day, and we went to Xinghua with my father and mother to see the lanterns at night, so this is not embarrassing."
"Then you guys are coming here prepared today, what are you going to do?" Liang Chuan asked curiously.
"Uncle, let's see if you catch fish, why don't you do it!" The look of the four people made Liang Chuan want to laugh when he saw it, he was really a little ghost.
Liang Chuan looked at a few children and said, "Ma Dan, do you want to go to school in the private school?" ”
The smile on Ma Dan's face gradually disappeared, and said: "Our family doesn't have the money to invite Mr., it costs money to study, and now there is no money, they give Master Zheng's sugarcane land, it is not easy to serve that land, we help my father and mother do some work outside, and they don't have to be so tired." ”
Liang Chuan said: "Ma Dan is like this, I will give you a chance to read and write, and I will not charge you money, but there is a request, how about you help me release the fish every day, just throw it into the water, and then put it away in the evening, don't let you go into the water, this fish is tied with a rope, just stand on the shore and drag it." In return, I'll give you another fish a day, what do you think?"
The four children, you look at me, I look at you, and they still said with a depressed face: "If we don't charge money, we can't afford to read, those papers and pens also cost money, my father and mother are working in the fields, we have to go home to cook, if we don't cook, they can't finish their work." ”
The four children said that there was no trace of hip-hop at this time, the oldest was a horse egg, the youngest nose still had a snot lantern, the four children were worse dressed than the children in the village, and their father and mother were also tenant farmers who had just gone south, but they all experienced the hardships of life at a young age and knew how to share them for their parents.
"You don't need to buy pen and paper, you just need to learn the knowledge seriously. Now that you know that your parents are starving if they don't cook for their parents to do farm work, have you ever thought about it, if you still keep farming, you will always have to worry about whether someone will cook your father's and mother's food every day, and whether your father's mother will be bitter when farming, if time can be squeezed out, this is not better. Got rid of the fate of farming, won't your parents have to work hard in the field? ”
"Uncle, what you said is right." Ma Dan replied to Liang Chuan's words, but it gave Liang Chuan an illusion that this child was so mature.
"But I can't tell you what to do about it, I have to go back and talk to them, even if they don't agree, I have to respect their opinions. You saved my life, don't say give me fish every day, even if you don't give me fish, I'll help you guard this fish! ”
The children of Guanzhong are the most sincere.
