Chapter 5 Peaks and Loops
Le Wen saw that things were getting more and more confused by the Ding family, and said loudly: "I want to ask Aunt Ding a word now, when your wild boar is caught, is it raw?" Is it death? ”
Ding Shi was slightly stunned by this roar, and slowly burst out of his mouth with a word: "Death!" ”
"Please ask the village chief to help me find a knife. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Lewen smiled slightly when he heard Ding's answer, and turned to the village chief.
The village chief was confused and stammered, "Are you ...... What do you want a knife for, do you still want to kill people? ”
"Of course not, Xiaowen just wants to prove one thing, since Aunt Ding said that her wild boar was dead when she caught it, and she said before that the wild boar was caught by her husband two days ago, then it is three days away from today, right?"
Le Wen glanced at Ding, smiled faintly, and asked again.
Ding didn't know what Le Wen meant, and said impatiently: "Today is the third day, what's wrong?" ”
Le Wen clapped his hands and said, "Okay, since it's been three days, if you hadn't sold the wild boar or made it into cured meat, the wild boar must have stinked, right?" ”
Ding was speechless when asked, and he wanted to say something when he grew his mouth, but he also seemed to know what Lewen meant.
The village chief patted his head and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it, Li Zhiming, go and bring your kitchen knife to see if this pork has stinked." ”
Lewen was really speechless, he said that he asked the village chief to find a knife, but he just wanted the village chief to ask him why, it was almost summer, and he wanted to know if the pork was stinking, even if the sense of smell was not sensitive, he would know if he leaned over and smelled it.
In the blink of an eye, Li Zhiming took the kitchen knife from home, and the village chief took the knife and walked to the wild boar tremblingly, but he didn't dare to take the knife, turned his head and commanded Li Zhiming: "You ...... You come here. ”
Li Zhiming took the knife and 'fluttered', and opened a big hole in the belly of the wild boar, and the intestines of the wild boar flowed out along the big hole, he grabbed a pig intestine, put it on the village chief's nose and said, "Village chief, smell it." ”
The village chief hurriedly took a few steps back and said, "Go, go, I smelled it early, and it didn't stink." ”
Li Zhiming asked puzzledly: "Village Chief, since you have already smelled it, why did you let me go home and get a knife?" ”
The village chief glared at Li Zhiming, stretched out a finger, pointed at Li Zhiming and said, "Okay, little rabbit cub, the wings have grown stiff, dare to argue with Lao Tzu." ”
Lewen rolled his eyes and said lightly: "Village chief, don't make trouble, hurry up and explain the matter to everyone, I still have something." ”
The angry village chief was about to give Li Zhiming a moment, and when he heard Lewen's words, he was right to think about it, and he still had something to do, and he would clean up this little rabbit cub later, so he smiled and said to everyone: "Hey, everyone must have understood it, this matter is a misunderstanding, well, misunderstanding, okay, this matter is over, what should you do." ”
"Hey, it's all gone, I still wanted to see a good show, but who knew it would be over in a while." The villagers who had just arrived muttered a little unsatisfied.
It is said that Kong Rong knew how to make pears at the age of four, and Lewen This is just a trivial matter, but everyone ignores time.
In fact, Le Wen also felt scared later, thanks to the villagers who didn't think too much about it this time, but some people felt that Le Wen was no less smart than a prodigy.
After Lewen embarked on his official career, this incident became a myth in the village, saying that Lewen was a prodigy when he was a child ......and so on.
Everyone dispersed, leaving Ding alone lying on the ground, pretending to be injured and unable to get up, seeing that no one paid attention to him, she slapped the ground and scolded angrily: "You bastards, you have no conscience." ”
She thought that people were stupid, it was just a child who bumped into an adult, and the adult was still lying on the ground and rolling, it was a joke, but Long Chao's collision really hurt her.
It turns out that Ding has not hit a wild boar two days ago, don't say that it was two days ago, even the first two months.
Ding saw Lewen's three little children dragging a fat wild boar towards this side, her eyes were red, and she suddenly remembered the wild boar she fought two years ago, it was indeed exactly the same.
Thinking of the jealousy of the Ding family here, he wanted to accuse Le Wen of them, Ding felt that the three children of Le Wen should be easily fooled and get a wild boar for no reason.
In fact, speaking of this wild boar, it was just knocked out at first, and now it has a knife in the stomach of the wild boar, which can be regarded as completely dead, otherwise Lewen and their lives are really in danger.
The three of Lewen dragged the wild boar to the yard, and the old lady walked out of the house with a crutch, looked at the wild boar behind the three of them who were disemboweled, and their intestines were stained into yellow mud strips like mud, and asked with a puzzled face: "Where did you get the wild boar?" ”
Sister Qi 'fluttered' and ran to the old lady's side, stroking the old lady and telling the old lady what happened, it was normal for Sister Qi to have not said anything just now, where had a girl seen that kind of battle, she was scared at the time, and when the matter was over, she thought she was dreaming.
After hearing this, the old lady still asked in disbelief, "Is it true?" Don't lie to your grandmother, you little girl. ”
A middle-aged couple in their 30s walked in from outside the courtyard, and when they first arrived at the gate just now, they heard Sister Qi talking to the old lady, but they didn't interrupt, so they didn't come in: "Mother, what Qi'er said about this child is true, the story of these three children has spread throughout the village, and we have just heard it when we came back from doing farm work in the field." ”
The middle-aged woman is Sister Qi's parents, and the two of them have rough and dark skin, a somewhat haggard face, and simple clothes due to long-term farm work.
When the old lady heard that everyone in the village knew about it, she smiled and said, "Okay, good, good, these three children have grown up." ”
Lewen touched the wolf teeth on his chest and asked hesitantly, "Grandmother, what do you say this wild boar should be done?" ”
"You caught this wild boar, you can do whatever you want, but grandmother thinks it's better to sell it, and the money from selling the wild boar is enough for you to study in the village for a few years."
The old lady's happy eyes narrowed into a slit, pursed her lips, and turned to Le Haofeng and said, "Boss, you go to the county market to find a butcher to sell this wild boar, they are too young to let them follow, you know?" ”
Uncle complimented: "Mother, this matter will be handed over to my son, you can rest assured." ”
The old lady pouted and said: "I really don't worry about your affairs, you are too humble by nature, for my mother is afraid that you will be deceived by the butcher in the county, when you get to the county, you still find the third child and let him help you sell." ”
The uncle was a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he nodded and said, "Okay, mother." ”
Speaking of authentic wild boar, Lewen really hasn't eaten it, and it would be a pity if he didn't taste it, so Lewen begged: "Grandmother, Wen'er wants to leave the two hind legs of the wild boar so that we can all taste it." ”
"yes, I want to taste what wild boar meat is like."
The moment Long Chao saw the wild boar from the mountain, he thought about what it was like for the wild boar to eat.
"Okay, grandmother has said it, and you can do it." old
The lady smiled again.
Not long after, Lewen's mother also returned from her work in the field, and together they helped cut off the boar's hind leg, and one hind leg was ready to be used to cook a hearty and delicious fried wild boar with dried amaranth at night.
Although it may not be as delicious as a pig, it is already a luxury for poor families who can only eat pork until the Chinese New Year.
A large family sits and eats together, and the remaining pork legs are marinated into bacon and divided among the three families, otherwise they will spoil and stink another day.
"Yo, what a big fat pig, you three children are really capable of catching such a big fat pig."
The third aunt Wu heard the conversation of several people in the house, but she didn't want to come out, as soon as she heard that there was pork to eat at night, and she could share it, she immediately walked out of the house with five-year-old Le Yi.
The third aunt Wu's long eyebrows are clear and beautiful, and on the face of small melon seeds, the veins of the two eyes are like Pinghu Autumn, and the thin waist is graceful like the spring dawn of Sudi.
A pair of Wei Niang's buns are combed on her head, and a twisted gold sideburns are inserted on the side, and only a few strands of silk hang down between the temples, which is slightly charming.
She was also wearing a splendid green Luo skirt that she bought from the county town from her husband Le Haojing, and a waist skirt with water pattern pleats was tied around her waist, decorated with six presser foot laces, and her hips twisted and swung when she walked, which hooked people's souls, just at a glance, it made people feel a crispy feeling in their hearts.
In the evening, the whole family gathered around the big wooden table in the Dongwa Fangtang House to eat together, the table was full of food, it looked very hearty, and in the middle of the table was a large plate of dried amaranth fried wild boar, the aroma was rising.
A small plate of boiled eggs sits next to stir-fried wild boar with dried amaranth and nine pairs of chopsticks around it, filled with barley porridge.
"Yo, why are there only eight eggs, how can this be divided." The third aunt glanced at the eggs on the plate and raised her eyes to look at everyone.
The old lady glanced at the third aunt and said, "Your son is the youngest, so let's eat less." ”
The third aunt was furious and said unhappily: "Yi'er of the slave family, it is when she is growing her body, how can she eat less." ”
"Grandmother, Wen'er doesn't eat eggs, Wen'er only eats pork."
Le Wen thought to himself, if you don't eat meat, what kind of eggs are you fighting for, what he doesn't know is that a family can only eat a mouthful of eggs during the New Year, and if there are eggs and meat to eat, it is called hearty.
The third aunt saw that Lewen took the initiative to let the eggs out, and said with joy: "Xiaowen is really sensible." ”
Without too much etiquette, the family set off.
Le Mu put a chopstick-headed wild boar in the bowl of Le Wen and Long Chao, Le Wen picked up the chopsticks and put the wild boar meat in his mouth to chew, although it had a slightly sour and bitter taste, but it still felt delicious.
It was also the first time for the whole family to eat wild boar, and Lewen was about to clip two more pieces, and when he looked up, a large plate of fried wild boar with dried amaranth had bottomed out, and he now understood why the third aunt was fighting for his son's eggs.
Le's mother's cheeks were red from the heat of the meal, and when she saw her son's unfinished appearance, she put the eggs in her bowl into Lewen's bowl, and smiled kindly: "Wen'er, my mother doesn't like to eat eggs, let's give you eggs." ”
