103 Soybeans
On the night of the fat man's departure, Zhang Jin's house was lively again, and there was not a single woman at the table today, they were all rough old men who loved to drink.
Hai Jufu and Hai Juli and other old men and half-old men of the Juzi generation did not come, but they came from Hai Gensheng, Ermaozi of Hai Jucheng's family, Hai Jingde's grandson Sanbaozi, and Niu Kai, the second son of Uncle Niu's family...... This group of guys in their twenties and forties are in their prime of life. Basically, all the people in the village who thought they were 'unproductive' were digging in their fields were here. The remaining 90 percent or so of those who are 'promising' have all gone to the city to work.
The only 'elder' among the people is called Hai Juxue, who is the third grandson of the old man Hai Siquan, although he is not young, but his age is only in his early thirties. This group of the same clan and clan is bigger, and it is normal for people of the same generation to be thirty or fifty years old. Just like the old man Hai Jianguo in the village is almost eighty years old this year, almost fifty years older than Hai Sanbao, although the kinship is a little far away, but according to the genealogy, he has to be called Uncle Sanbaozi!
A group of rough guys got together to drink, and they were all in the prime of life, so they naturally had no image at all. The atmosphere at the table can only be described by the word 'hot'.
Seven people, including Zhang Jin, each of them were shirtless, with a pair of big pants on their lower bodies, and barefoot or a pair of flip-flops on their feet. Speaking can no longer be regarded as 'speaking', but simply howling at the top of his throat.
This spitting appearance, bold and rough, it is easy to think of the jiashi of rough people like Li Kui when he was drinking in Shuibo Liangshan.
At this time, Zhang Jin had long lost the image of Sven when he used to work, and after the game was possessed, the glasses that only played the role of decorating Sven had long been thrown aside. Leaning his body, one foot stepped on the ground, the other foot came up, kicked on the edge of the chair next to his buttocks, his right arm was open with a red face, his right hand and Hai Ermao, who was sitting diagonally opposite the table, punched, and pulled his neck with the green tendons on his neck exposed, shouting: "Five leaders...... Eight horses ......"
I had long predicted who would come tonight, so Zhang Jin's wine and food were not as delicate as when the old men of the provincial government came to eat, and the taste was not as light as the village elders like Haijufu, basically all of them were heavy oil and heavy dishes.
Potatoes roast whole goose, where you want to eat, reach out and twist it; The brine pig's trotters are inconvenient to eat with chopsticks, so they can be held and gnawed with their hands; Huangjiutian chicken is convenient to use chopsticks and hands; Drunk shrimp, frozen fish skin......
Who said that only the northern men are bold, and the same is true for the south! In Zhang Jin's opinion, these farmers are no different from the villagers in his hometown in Northeast China, they are straightforward and cute, and they are very comfortable to intersect.
Zhang Jin looked at the men in front of him drunkenly, and secretly despised the famous sentence that Liu Yuxi once made himself look up to the mountains - 'There is a great deal of Confucianism in talking and laughing, and there is no white ding', and those people who have come and go, how can they be at ease? How can there be a refreshing time to drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat in a big bowl with these straightforward men?
Compared with Liu Yuxi's sentence of 'talking and laughing with Confucianism, and there is no white ding', Zhang Jin feels that Cao Xuejiao's sentence of 'fighting righteousness and slaughtering dogs' is more in line with his heart.
Of course, Zhang Jin just thinks about this kind of thought, if he dares to say this to old scholars and old scholars such as Old Man Liu, he will definitely get comments such as 'no half of the bones' or 'the wall of dung is immortal'.
At more than nine o'clock, when the banquet had been held for more than two hours, Zhang Jin had just put down Hai Ermao and Hai Juxue, who dared to call his number at the wine table, and was about to find a third target. Hai Gensheng, who was seven points drunk, staggered to his feet, and said to Zhang Jin with a big tongue: "Brother Zhang, my brother can't stop it, I have to go first!" ”
Hearing Hai Gensheng's words, Zhang Jin was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Brother Gensheng, it's still early, why are you leaving so early?" ”
Niu Kai, who was still clear-headed, laughed playfully, and said to Zhang Jin with eyebrows: "Brother Jin, don't you understand this?" It must be Gensheng's sister-in-law's order to go back to farming early! Gensheng's sister-in-law has a big spirit, and Gensheng's brother must be very hard. ”
In the countryside, everyone can't help but lean on the little thing of men and women, whether it is a man or a woman, when it comes to this matter, they are always very excited and energetic. ,
As a result, Niu Kai's words naturally caused Zhang Jin and the other two guys who had already drunk eight points to be daxiao, and also made Hai Gensheng's face even darker because of the alcohol.
Haigensheng is not shy, everyone is used to this kind of thing, how can he be shy about this. His face turned red because he was worried about his image, who would want to be a big man with such a name of 'not enough man'. So Haigensheng hurriedly explained loudly:
"You don't listen to the nonsense of the Three Treasures. This guy always can't feed his wife, and every time he mentions going home, he is scared, thinking that everyone else is like this. The soybean seedlings on the northern slope of my village have been dry for several days, and it's time to harvest. Listen to the weather forecast, there will be rain tomorrow afternoon, so it must be done in the morning. If I get drunk at Brother Zhang's place as usual, I'll remember it tomorrow morning! ”
Soybeans are soybeans, which are usually not harvested when they are ripe, but when the soybeans are ripe and the leaves have fallen, they are dried for a period of time, and the moisture of the beans in the pods will drop by 10%-20%. If it rains and the beans do not come to harvest, even if the beans are cut home, they are likely to germinate in the grain hoard, and if they are cut late, they may even germinate on the seedlings. That's all ruined.
Listening to Hai Gensheng's words, Zhang Jin's eyes rolled, "Brother Gensheng still grows soybeans at home?" ”
Hai Gensheng nodded, and explained casually: "The land on the north slope of the village was originally planted with watermelons, and after the watermelons were harvested, the time was not right, and I didn't know what to plant." Later, I felt that this soybean was suitable for planting at any time of our time, so I simply planted more than one acre. Now it's just time to harvest. ”
"What are you going to do with the soybeans that Brother Sheng harvested?" Zhang Jin then asked.
"What to do? It's not like that, find time to sell it in the town. We people here don't want to eat it. Without waiting for Haigensheng to speak, Niu Kai, who was sitting next to Zhang Jin, said.
Seeing Hai Gensheng nodding in agreement with Niu Kai's words, Zhang Jin grinned, "Brother Gensheng, why don't you sell me the beans?" I just wanted to buy some! ”
After listening to Zhang Jin's words, Haigensheng didn't hesitate, and said very angrily: "Why do you want to buy it or not?" There's nothing more in total, so if you want it, I'll just cut it off and give it to you. ”
Zhang Jin was not hypocritical after listening to Haigensheng's words, and said briskly: "That's okay, I'll give it to me tomorrow." I use it to grind tofu, beat bean juice, make soy sauce, press fermented bean curd, and squeeze soybean oil. It's not that I'm blowing with you, it's definitely better than buying it outside! ”
For Zhang Jin's craftsmanship, everyone here knows it, and when they heard him say this, they all shouted loudly, zuihou Zhang Jin and Hai Gensheng promised to get out of the food, everyone had a share, and the old man who went crazy with alcohol was considered to stop.
In fact, Zhang Jin also knew that Haigensheng's family did not live on such a little soybean, otherwise, he would not have just accepted it. It's not always generous, and I don't have a little bit of eyes to accept all the orders, and as a result, people have no food to eat!
