Chapter 17: Jokes to be seen
The tickets in Xu Jiuyan's hand are basically food stamps, there are not many meat stamps, and there are some cloth stamps.
Xu Jiuyan just took out a handful of votes at random and counted them, as for the space, she really didn't count it herself, and her salary and food were basically useless.
She used all her food to pour things. In addition to the Artuda leopard meat made her make a small profit, so that she got more and more food stamps.
After finishing the food stamps, Xu Jiuyan said: "Two sisters, exchange some sugar stamps, cigarette stamps, and non-staple food stamps, I want to go home next month." ”
Yao Honghong looked at Xu Jiuyan and said, "You want to go home?" ”
Xu Jiuyan replied in a low voice: "Well, it's been more than a year since I came out, and I'm homesick, and I want to go home for the New Year." ”
Zhao Weihong patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's hard for you, can you miss home." ”
Saying that, he took out the tickets on his body to sum them, Yao Honghong also took out the tickets and looked at them and said, "I don't have sugar tickets, but I have two non-staple food tickets." ”
"Help me find a few more photos, go home, and bring some souvenirs back to my family."
Yao Honghong handed Xu Jiuyan two non-staple food tickets and said, "Okay, I'll help you go back and make up for it, how much do you want, the non-staple food is okay, and the cigarette tickets are in short supply." ”
Zhao Weihong took out a sugar ticket and handed it to Xu Jiuyan and said: "I can find a few cigarette tickets for you, the others are difficult, and those who have children at home will keep the tickets in their hands after the New Year." ”
"Okay, I'm sorry for the two sisters."
After a while, the bell rang, and several people packed up and went home. Xu Jiuyan returned to his residence and brought out the leopard meat stewed yesterday, not to mention that the taste was really good, but the meat was elastic and chewy.
"This meat is suitable for jerky, and when you eat it, it makes people want to eat it, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it is."
After eating, Xu Jiuyan made a move, don't look at Xu Jiuyan is too lazy on weekdays, but he is especially keen on eating this dish and is never lazy.
Take out all the remaining leopard meat, blanch and drain the water, and start preparing the seasoning. There is no shortage of bacon, bacon and cured meat in the southern region have their own genres, and the styles of ten miles and eight villages are different.
Xu Jiuyan marinated the meat and received it in the small attic of the hanging tower, and it became cool.
The reason why you don't put it in the space is what you put in, what you take out, you put a bowl of hot water in, and it is still hot water when you bring it out.
It's not good, it's like time stands still, so the pickled things that take time have no effect at all, and putting them in for a while and taking them out means that they don't do anything.
Xu Jiuyan went to the village to go around, the village got off work much later than the workers, and greeted the people working in the fields, although he couldn't understand, but the enthusiastic smiling face was the pass of the century.
Xu Jiuyan walked to the side of the captain Ketong, who looked at her and nodded.
"Uncle, I want to ask my aunt to help me give me some rice cakes, I want to go home for the Chinese New Year this year, and I want to bring some back to my family to taste. By the way, collect some wild vegetables, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, fungus, etc., dried or fresh. ”
Xu Jiuyan spoke very slowly, which was convenient for him to understand.
The guest boy understood, nodded, and gestured to indicate that he understood.
Xu Jiuyan got up and walked on the ground, and after a while, a group of children came running, Xu Jiuyan smiled.
Reached into his pocket and pulled out three hard fruit candies, then found two clean rocks and smashed some of them.
Then peel off the candy wrapper and give the small pieces of sugar to the children, who are also sensible, and take a bite of the big candy cube and give the rest to another person.
The people working in the fields also smiled when they saw it, and continued to do their work.
In the evening, Xu Jiuyan carried 30 catties of rice to the guest boy's house, and by the way, he gave the redeemed food stamps to the guest boy.
Seeing that Xu Jiuyan was going to make so many rice cakes, Ah Worm was a little surprised and asked, "Sister Yan, can you finish making so many rice cakes?" ”
"After eating, it's not enough to eat, mainly because the climate difference between the north and the south is too big, and now it's winter in the north, it's cold and snowy, and things can be put for a long time without being bad."
"Ice and snow? That's great, isn't it okay to eat sorbet every day? ”
"Hehe, yes, you can eat it every day, put it outside today, and you can eat it tomorrow."
"I want to go to the north too."
"Haha, but the temperature is also low, you have to wear a big cotton jacket and cotton pants, you are so cold that you can't reach out when you go out, if you accidentally have your ears frozen, and when you find out, hey, what about my ears?"
Xu Jiuyan exaggerated to scare him, Ah Worm believed it, and was so frightened that he hugged his ears with both hands, and found that he was still there, so he touched his ears vigorously, and pinched them, and said in fear: "It's too scary, don't go back with such a cold word." ”
Ah Worm's action amused Xu Jiuyan, and he stretched out his hand and pulled his ears and said: "Lie to you, the place to freeze your ears is far to the north, Kyoto is not so cold, but the north has four distinct seasons all year round, and there is almost no output except winter wheat in winter, and there is a shortage of food, so I want to bring more back." ”
"Oh, that's not enough for twenty pounds." Little Insect nodded with a frown.
Xu Jiuyan couldn't be happy again, knocked him on the side of the guest boy, took out the non-staple food ticket and handed it to the guest boy.
"Uncle, it's almost the New Year, look at who in the village wants to exchange for this kind of ticket, I can redeem a few more."
Xu Jiuyan speaks, and the guest children can basically understand it, but they can't speak it, and they can't understand what they say.
Xu Jiuyan got up and left, Ah Worm learned what Xu Jiuyan told him just now from his family, and the family also laughed and went to pinch his ears.
This can be regarded as a disguised explanation for why so many rice cakes are made. The human heart is insufficient, the heart is complex, who can guarantee that there is no selfless person?
Xu Jiuyan returned to her residence, turned over the meat, and waited until the middle of the night, in the dead of night, when she opened the fire.
I was busy until the next morning, when I had all the jerky ready.
I took out a little bit of the stewed leopard meat, threw a few fresh mushrooms into it and stewed it with the heat and misfortune, ate a steamed bun, and cleaned up the battlefield with satisfaction.
After washing up, I was refreshed, and when I saw the sky, it was time to clean up and go to Hepa Village.
After waiting for a short time, Atuda and his partner came with a cart with fruit on the front panel and a banana leaf on the back bus, but there was a box with some eggs and three live chickens tied to the back of the box.
The two put their things away, and Artuda took out a piece of straw paper from his pocket and pressed it into the egg frame, then beckoned his friends to leave.
When the people left, Xu Jiuyan took a look, collected the fruit, and looked at the meat, it was a wild boar, and six rabbits, all of which were processed, and the pigs were also handled clean and beautiful.
Xu Jiuyan took a look at the drafting paper, the handwriting was quite stylish, and the explanation was clear and careful, indicating that the three live chickens were given to Xu Jiuyan, and the two labels of meat and eggs were clear.
Xu Jiuyan raised his eyebrows, Artuda is very powerful, this amount of meat and this note are enough to explain Artuda's way.
Looking at the three live chickens given at the end, she didn't say her name explicitly, only said that she repaid Artuida's life-saving grace, which was a thank you gift. Even if he is caught, there is no suspicion of speculation.
Xu Jiuyan accepted the things, all the catties were enough, Xu Jiuyan turned around and went to Putuo Village, and he couldn't be lazy with his work.
After entering the mountain road, Xu Jiuyan took out a big wooden stick and began to hurry.
Putuo Village is a border village where the borders of Chonghua and Myanmar Baoguo meet, but because it is located in the deep mountains, the geography is special, and there is little cultivated land, so the people in the village basically rely on hunting for a living.
And because the transportation to their own country is not convenient and the mountain roads are difficult to travel, most of the prey in the village is sold directly to the border line to the people of the Burmese treasure country.
Xu Jiuyan complained as he walked, this flower is ugly, the grass is beautiful, this tree grows too tall, and that tree grows too big, in order to give himself courage.
When I was about to arrive in Putuo Village, I was relieved to meet a teenager who was collecting firewood, and I let go when I met a living person, and the whole person was relaxed.
Xu Jiuyan knew that he was about to enter the village, so he hurriedly called the young man, and the young man looked back at Xu Jiuyan, was stunned for a moment, and then said a dialect.
Xu Jiuyan pointed to his clothes, took out the letter and shook it and said, "I'm a postman, I went to the village to deliver letters, you show me a way." ”
The young man looked at Xu Jiuyan, then nodded, turned around and walked forward, Xu Jiuyan followed behind.
After a short time, he arrived in the village, Xu Jiuyan had already sent it twice with Brother Jiang before, and he knew where the village chief's house was, so he thanked the little brother who led the way and went directly to the village chief's house.
The village chief's daughter-in-law was at home, Xu Jiuyan handed her the letter, and then prepared to go back, after all, the language was not clear, and it was not convenient to communicate.
When Xu Jiuyan walked back, he saw that the young man who was collecting firewood before was still carrying firewood at the entrance of the village, and he was stunned for a moment, nodded with a smile and left.
When Xu Jiuyan couldn't see anyone anymore, the young man turned around and entered the village.
Xu Jiuyan felt that his back was cold when he walked on the mountain road, he looked back a few times, there was nothing, he felt that he was scaring himself, and then shouted loudly behind him: "Demons and monsters, go away, I am a god who came down to earth, so I am not afraid of you." ”
After shouting, he ran away, not far from where Xu Jiuyan was standing just now, Li Jingxiu hid in the tree and looked at Xu Jiuyan who was running forward, and raised the corners of his mouth, what a stupid person, he is still a god, he is not afraid of what you run.
Just as he was about to retract his gaze, he saw Xu Jiuyan plop down and eat, and it took him a lot of effort to endure the laughter that was about to rush out of his throat.
As soon as he couldn't hold back, he saw Xu Jiuyan jump up and shout: "Mom, snake, go away, go away, go, go, go." ”
Then he whined and chirped with a big wooden stick, dancing like a baboon. Li Jingxiu looked at Xu Jiuyan's stupid appearance and was so uncomfortable that the branches of the tree trembled.
"Li Jingxiu stay vigilant!"
The company commander's low voice came from the left, Li Jingxiu quietly raised his hand, and bit on the tiger's mouth, and he felt pain before he endured it.
And Xu Jiuyan danced to scare away the snake and ran away all at once, Li Jingxiu didn't smooth the corners of his mouth until he couldn't see Xu Jiuyan for a long time. This stupid girl is really okay, every time I see it, I can make him happy, and I really look forward to seeing it next time, what will it be like?
