Chapter 60: An Autumn Rain and a Cold

An autumn rain and a cool, with a few autumn rains, the weather completely cooled. At night, I only heard the old north wind whistling, and the poplars in the yard whining. Liu Junhao didn't care at first, he was still covered with a thin blanket when he slept, but he couldn't carry it anymore in the second half of the night, so he had to pull the lamp into the house and hold a quilt on the bed to feel warm.

When I woke up in the morning, my nostrils were clear water, and it looked like I had a cold last night. In fact, he also deserves something, since Professor Zhao persuaded him to cover the quilt ten days ago, but he refused.

It's just a small cold, Liu Junhao doesn't care much, wait a minute, wear more clothes, boil a bowl of ginger soup to cover the sweat, and live together, his physical fitness is good, this little cold is still not in his eyes.

Pushing open the door, there were withered yellow branches on the outside of the yard, and the poplar leaves were scraped everywhere, and there was not even a place to stay.

He picked up the rake and hugged it on the ground, the yard is relatively flat, so it is easy to sweep the dead branches and leaves into a large pile with a rake, and when he is busy, he hears Xiaopi screaming in the backyard, and seems to have found something.

Wouldn't it be another big animal running into his yard, otherwise Xiaopi wouldn't have screamed so loudly, Liu Junhao threw away the rake and ran quickly to the backyard, but saw Xiaopi roaring at the gray-black leaves under the acacia tree. It plucked it with its claws, and quickly moved a few steps away.

It turned out that he had encountered a big hedgehog, no wonder Little Skin screamed so happily, it had nowhere to put its mouth even if it wanted to catch this thing.

The hedgehog was curled up in a ball, and the little gray and white thorns looked like a large pom-pom from a distance, and at this moment it had dug a large pit under the acacia tree, and from the new soil on the side it was evident that it had just dug the previous night.

It seems that this hedgehog is going to hibernate here, so don't disturb people's good sleep. He scolded the little skin, and led it away, leaving the little thing alone.

There are many hedgehogs in the countryside, especially in the summer evening, you can often hear the rustling sound on the roots of the wheat straw stacks, and the hedgehogs come out to feed. However, this thing is neither delicious nor can it be sold for money, and people usually see it and don't take the initiative to touch it, only when children are fine, they play with it.

Liu Junhao then went to the front yard to sweep the leaves and branches, and piled them all in the corner of the courtyard wall, which was inconspicuous at first, but soon became a half-sized stack of wood.

Now it's good, and you don't have to worry about firewood in winter.

I didn't expect that less than half an hour of labor would make him sweat, and his nose was completely unobstructed, but at this time the hunger came up.

So Liu Junhao threw away the rake, washed his hands and touched five or six eggs in the chicken coop, and then went to the backyard and dragged two handfuls of garlic sprouts and shallots to spread out the egg pancakes.

Rural people will not buy a pan specifically for pancakes, they are all directly spread out in a large pot, so that a person's skills can be best seen.

Liu Junhao's previous skills were not very good, but in the past few years, he has lived alone, and his cooking skills have naturally been slowly practiced.

Crack the eggs into the bowl, add a little flour and stir well, then put the chopped green onion and garlic sprouts in and stir again.

When the pan is hot, pour half a spoonful of sesame oil to lubricate the hot pan, then scoop a spoonful of egg batter in the bowl and make a circle on the edge of the pan, turn it back and forth several times with a spatula, and a browned pancake will be spread out in less than two minutes.

Next, the pot boiled completely, and Liu Junhao spread faster. Basically, one sheet in thirty or forty seconds, the egg batter is completely spread out in less than ten minutes, and there are more than a dozen fragrant pancakes in the bun sieve. He brought a few sheets in a bowl and sent them to Professor Zhao and his wife, and then started eating them himself.

A few days ago, although Liu Junhao repeatedly persuaded him, Professor Zhao and his wife still moved into a new house. In fact, whether you move or not, it's the same, the two families are next to each other, and you can just say hello across the wall if you have anything.

The pancakes spread out by Liu Junhao are particularly thin, burnt and browned, and then served with coriander and sesame salt, and bite into it...... The green onion, garlic, and sesame aroma get into the mouth together, making people eat straight to the mouth.

In less than twenty minutes, he ate half a bowl of pancakes, threw the dishes and chopsticks into the pot to brew, and he was content to pull two chairs, take a pot of hot tea, and sit under the windy eaves to bask in the sun.

Now although the sun is a few feet high, but it is not poisonous at all, it shines on the body of the person warmly, and it is the most comfortable to bask in the sun here after being full of wine and food.

After a few minutes, Professor Zhao also ate, walked into the courtyard leisurely with his hands behind his back, and saw that the chessboard next to Liu Junhao had been set up, so he didn't say anything and went straight to war.

So the old and the young were killed in the courtyard, Liu Junhao's chess strength has risen greatly during this time, and now if he is serious about playing chess with Professor Zhao, he can generally achieve two wins in three games.

However, playing chess is to kill time and have fun, so he occasionally puts a handful of water to make the number of wins between the two basically equal.

They played this game of chess very slowly, it took almost two hours to finish the game, and when Professor Zhao was about to play chess again, he was stopped by Liu Junhao, he looked at the time and said: "I'm here today, I still have to go to Liu Qiyong's house to deliver eggs, my mother asked me to save them a few days ago." ”

He took out a large bamboo basket from the house, put some straw in it, and then put the eggs in it, and put most of the hundred eggs in the basket. Liu Junhao thought about it and added seven or eight more to it, which is a fraction, and he doesn't need money when he sends it over.

Liu Qiyong and his family were watching TV at home, and they were naturally very enthusiastic when they saw him come in. Liu Qiyong asked about the number of eggs, and he paid him forty-five yuan without checking it. Liu Junhao's eggs are five cents more expensive than others, and Liu Qiyong doesn't feel that he has suffered any loss, just look at the eggs, they are all big, and they are almost on the duck eggs.

Liu Junhao only received forty yuan, saying that it was all from one village, and the eggs were counted as four cents each. When the eggs were finished, he didn't stay long, and left as soon as he took the bamboo basket.

"You too, don't count, what if it's missing?" As soon as Liu Junhao walked out of the door, Liu Qiyong's daughter-in-law was counting on the bed.

"Count, people don't have five dollars in their eyes, they will miss a few eggs from you, it's really long hair and short knowledge." Liu Qiyong impatiently taught a few lessons, this daughter-in-law is good at everything, and she also knows how to run a house, but she is a little shrewd and stingy.

But when he saw that his daughter-in-law was going to get out of bed and count them herself, he had to count the eggs he had just put on the table again, and he counted a few more. At first, her daughter-in-law didn't believe it, and asked Liu Qiyong to count it again to make sure that people really didn't care about these eggs, and now she was also a little embarrassed, saying that she would send him a few catties of pork when she killed pigs during the New Year.

When Liu Junhao walked to Dayan Pond with an empty basket, he saw that many people were chatting there, while Liu Guangju was sitting in the middle and couldn't stop talking something.

To say that Liu Guangju has been very proud these days, he has been on the TV station twice in less than a few months, and even the mayor of Qi in the town has not had this treatment.

And some time ago, because of the road construction, his prestige among the villagers has obviously increased a lot. In the past, although everyone saw each other, they were all smiling, but they were a little less close. Now he clearly felt that the people in the village were enthusiastic about him, and sometimes he greeted him when he saw it from afar.

They were still talking about eleven big plays, and the villagers all thought that this drama would continue to rise in the future, and it would be a tradition in Liujiagou.

Everyone has a small account in their hearts, and it only cost a total of 10,000 yuan for the last big show, but in those few days, many families earned more than 1,000 yuan just by selling food, and they tasted the sweetness one by one, so they naturally thought of continuing to do it next year.

When everyone saw Liu Junhao coming over, they all greeted him one after another, and talked about the yellow eels in his yard, and as they talked, someone asked him how much money he earned this year.

Seeing that they were all very interested, Liu Junhao kept silent and said nothing, in fact, he was not guarding against anything, but felt that there was no need to show off.

These days, as the weather gradually turns colder, the number of people who come to Liujiagou to play has decreased significantly, and his yellow eel income has also decreased a lot, so he took advantage of his free time to calculate his income in recent months.

It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked, and the income from selling yellow eels, jujubes, eggs, etc.
