Chapter 08: I'm hungry in the middle of the night
(0008)
Yang Kaide couldn't help but burst into tears, and said with relief: "Yulin, you have grown up, you have grown up!" Fourth, your son has grown up! Do you see that? You can go with confidence, Yulin has grown up! ”
The words sparked more tears.
In the corners of Yang Yinghan's eyes, there were already tears, tears condensed, but there were some tears of happiness that came from hard work.
Yang Ruifeng is the eldest son of the Yang family, and he has a deep understanding of the hardships of these years. He has always been wooden, holding the sea bowl, and he didn't notice at all that his tears had fallen into the fish head soup. These are also bitter tears.
Zhang Zhun also felt that his nose was a little sour, and finally held back his tears, and said in a deep voice: "Don't cry, everyone, the bitterness is slowly passing." In the future, our life will gradually get better. Really, we will slowly get better in the future. One day, we will be able to eat pork more often and our clothes will no longer have to be patched! ”
The mouse once again exerted his acting talent, and then Zhang Zhun said excitedly: "Yes, Brother Yulin is right!" We'll be fine in the future! We can also eat meat, and we can also get dressed! My brother will also marry a good daughter-in-law! Little girl...... Xiaoya will also have a good home! ”
Yang Yinghan's face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head and drank the soup. Inadvertently, a crystal teardrop fell from the corner of his eye and landed just inside the fish head soup.
Yang Kaide was reminded by the mouse, suddenly remembered something, and said to Zhang Zhun: "Yulin, your father and I were ...... The fourth brother said yes...... You and Xiaohan ......"
Yang Yinghan's face suddenly turned even redder, the back of her ears was red, and her eyes were so charming that she seemed to be oozing water, but she was reluctant to leave.
Zhang Zhun said sincerely: "Uncle, you treat me like a mountain, and I will listen to your arrangements, including marriage." As long as you don't dislike me. ”
Yang Yinghan hurriedly stood up and went to serve food.
Yang Kaide's old face stretched out, and he said with relief: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it." This matter, when there is a suitable date, her mother and I will add it up, not in a hurry, not in a hurry. ”
Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "Yes." ”
The mouse smiled and whispered, "Brother-in-law? ”
Zhang Zhun reached out and gave him an elbow.
The rat screamed exaggeratedly.
Huang smiled and said, "It's time to fight!" Your sister will beat you up in a while! ”
The mouse was very innocent and aggrieved and said: "I didn't call it wrong, why should I fight?" ”
Huang said: "There is no reason, it is just that it should be beaten." ”
Yang Ruifeng nodded and said, "It's time to fight." ”
The rat didn't dare to say anything.
Yang Yinghan brought the dried vegetable rice, and then brought two large pots of stewed fish, which was the official dinner.
I don't know what kind of dried vegetables are made of rice, but there are more than three times more dried vegetables than rice, and only dried vegetables can be seen, but rice cannot be seen. There was no oil, and it tasted astringent, like hay. The fish stew is completely different, with a fragrant and attractive aroma. What is rare is that the fish oil stewed from the stewed fish pieces is fragrant and immediately becomes a hot item.
Zhang Zhun really can't get used to eating such a meal, but there is no way, he has to force himself to eat it. Although fish head soup is nutritious, it cannot fully meet the needs of the body. Besides, after a few soak of urine, the fish head soup will be gone, and sleeping on an empty stomach will be very uncomfortable. Besides, it's the first month of the year, and the weather is still very cold.
Zhang Zhun forced himself to eat two bowls of dried vegetable rice, and ate three large pieces of stewed fish, and he was finally full. The two large pots of stewed fish were not eaten in the end, and everyone was really full, after all, it was a big fish weighing more than ten catties.
There is no entertainment at night, everyone is used to going to bed early. After eating, they put away the utensils, and everyone washed their feet and went to sleep. The usually active rat also went to bed early. Zhang Zhun had no choice but to go back to his kennel and wash his feet on the kang, but he couldn't sleep. Anyway, this was the first night after he crossed over to the Ming Dynasty.
Liaodong, Tatar, Manchu......
Shaanxi, civil unrest, uprising......
Western, fleet, Taiwan......
Chongzhen, Huang Taiji, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong......
Rebellion, change the course of history, father, wife, daughter......
The chaotic thoughts poured into Zhang Zhun's mind, and he couldn't sleep more and more.
After a sleepless night, the fish head soup quickly had an effect.
One night, Zhang Zhun went outside the house several times, and he peed in the stinky gutter. Everyone is like this, only women use the toilet. The man pees in front of the house and behind the house, and if it is big, he runs farther. Anyway, there is no land that belongs to them, and farm manure is useless.
After running outside the house three times, Zhang Zhun felt his stomach growl.
Hungry!
Really hungry!
I obviously ate three pieces of stewed fish, I felt full at the time, but I didn't expect to be uncomfortable, I really don't know what I did, is it that the body of the second stunned person has a particularly large amount of food and digestion is very fast?
The taste of hunger, which I had never felt in my previous life, was now truly felt. Inside his throat, there seemed to be a small steel file, filing back and forth. The astringent feeling is like picking out all my internal organs, chewing them, and then swallowing them back.
The house was surrounded by walls, and there was nothing to satisfy the hunger. I didn't hear any movement of the rats all night, probably because the rats were starving to death. Unable to stand the hunger, he quietly got up and found a rusty wood knife in the corner. Then he went out of the doorway. He was so hungry that he wanted to go to the beach and get some raw fish to eat.
Out of Yangjiatun, to the bamboo forest next to it, cut a bamboo with a knife, sharpened one end, and used it as a javelin. The javelin during the day was placed in the mouse's house, so I had to get a new one. After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard footsteps. Zhang Zhun hurriedly turned around and found that it was Yang Yinghan.
Yang Yinghan was holding a torch in her hand, Yingying walked over, and the constantly shaking firelight reflected her pretty cheeks. She was still wearing the plain clothes made of broken floral cloth during the day, looking unpretentious, but pure and moving. This is the most original beauty and does not require any decoration. She asked with concern, "Yulin...... What do you do? ”
Zhang Zhun said a little embarrassed: "I'm hungry, get up and get something to eat." ”
Yang Yinghan seemed to have guessed that this was the case, and said gently: "I brought you two rice balls, you can eat them first." ”
After that, he really took out two rice balls from his arms.
The rice balls are wrapped in plantain leaves, which is very neat and tidy, so it should have been left over from dinner.
Zhang Zhun suddenly felt an indescribable emotion.
Even if you are a fool, you can feel that she cares about you. Perhaps, there may be Yang Kaide who wants to marry her to himself, but it is really touching to be able to pay attention to himself all the time and prepare food for himself in advance. She is genuinely good to herself.
Zhang Zhun said: "I see that you are not full, you can eat!" ”
Yang Yinghan said: "I'm full...... I have very little to eat. Your fish is delicious, really, I ate two pieces and was very filling. ”
Brigadier Zhang sharpened the bamboo pole, swayed it from side to side, and felt that it was quite handy, so he said: "That...... You take the rice balls first, and I'll take you to eat the sashimi. ”
Yang Yinghan asked suspiciously, "Yusheng?" What is that? ”
Zhang Zhun said: "You will know if you come with me." ”
Yang Yinghan obediently held the torch and followed behind him.
The two of them came to the desolate Red Rock Beach, which was naturally deserted, except for the slight sea breeze that blew the torches constantly beating. Because it was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the moonlight was still quite bright, and the moonlight gently sprinkled down, paving the beach with a layer of silver. There were a few more twinkling stars, blinking mischievously, and Hao Xiang was spying on the movements of the two. Looking at the sea, a silvery white misty patch. The waves surged one after another, and the splashing waves looked exceptionally white under the reflection of the moonlight.
Zhang Zhun went back and forth to Red Rock Beach several times today, he was already quite familiar with the rocks of Red Rock Beach, the moonlight was very transparent, and the sight was good, he quickly found a place where there were fish, stood in a good position, and whispered: "Come, give me the torch." ”
Yang Yinghan handed over the torch and squatted on the rock to see what he was going to do.
Zhang Zhun took the torch with his left hand, squatted down, leaned the torch very close to the water, and slowly shook it from side to side. In his right hand, he held a bamboo spear and stared intently at every subtle movement on the water.
"Gollum!"
Suddenly, strings of bubbles bubbled up on the surface of the water.
"Whew!"
Zhang Zhun immediately pierced the javelin.
"Crackling!"
The bamboo spear didn't know what fish it had stabbed, and the water surface suddenly stirred up, splashing everywhere.
Yang Yinghan was caught off guard, and subconsciously stood up, wanting to avoid the splash. She also thought that Zhang Zhun had hit some kind of sea monster, and she had such a big reaction. In the end, he couldn't help but smile, and continued to squat down to watch Zhang Zhun's every move.
Brigadier General Zhang swung the bamboo gun in his hand to the right, pulled the big fish under the water to swim, and then drew an arc and returned to the original starting point. In this way, the big fish is dragged circle by circle, constantly drawing circles, consuming the power of the big fish.
The surface of the water finally subsided, and I could vaguely see that the surface of the water had turned a dark red, and it was all the blood sprayed by the big fish from the wounds. Looking at the area and concentration of blood distribution, the weight of this big fish below will not be less than ten catties, and this time it is really a big guy.
Feeling that the heat was about the same, Zhang Zhun slowly lifted the bamboo gun, and at the same time went deep into the water with his left hand to scoop up the big fish.
"It's huge!"
Yang Yinghan shouted.
Good guy, it turned out to be not a big yellow croaker, but a pure silver carp, weighing fifteen or sixteen pounds, with a length of more than half a meter, worthy of three big yellow croaker. It seems that there is a very high probability that there is a spring of fresh water under this rock, which can effectively dilute the salinity of the seawater, otherwise silver carp would not have appeared here.
