After arriving at his house, his wife and son were so happy that they didn't care about Xie Luyu. Lao Gao's wife is short and thin, and she is busy cleaning up wild boars with Lao Gao; His son had been cheering and cheering for being able to eat pork. I didn't stop until I ate a few "chestnuts".

Seeing that Lao Gao's family was busy, Lu Yu quietly returned home.

When Lu Yu arrived home, he remembered that the dishes had been washed, the kitchen knife had not been washed, and his old face was hot, so he went to the kitchen to wash the kitchen knife.

The oldest thing in Lu Yu's house may be these two brick houses, if there is one older than this house, it is the kitchen knife in his hand.

The shape and color of the kitchen knife are very ordinary, but it is larger than the ordinary kitchen knife, and it is also much heavier, and it is heavy in the hand. If there is any difference, it is that it is very sharp, the blade is never dull, and Lu Yu has not sharpened it since he can remember.

The dirt on the kitchen knife had dried up and disappeared, leaving only a trace. Lu Yu put the kitchen knife in the basin and washed it, and found that the knife was a little strange, and when he touched it, the original smooth and flat blade seemed to be a little dented. He couldn't help but be surprised: Could that thing be corrosive?

After washing and putting the kitchen knife away, Lu Yu began to hesitate to eat dinner again. Although I didn't do farm work in the afternoon, it was not easy to carry the pigs, and I felt that I still had to eat.

Lu Yu was cooking porridge on the fire, and Lao Gao came, carrying a bag in his hand.

"Da Yu, I've worked hard for you in the afternoon, you can take a little pork here." Handing the bag to Lu Yu, Lao Gao lowered his voice and said, "I weighed it, more than one hundred and sixty catties, and there must be one hundred catties of good meat, hehe." ”

Lu Yu also smiled: "This is a good thing." ”

Lao Gao said happily: "When I sell the money, I will also send my boy to the school." Hehe, although I don't understand, I believe that reading is definitely better than not reading. ”

"Uh." Lu Yu was a little embarrassed, he was one of the few young people in the village who had read a book. However, he achieved nothing, and his family was poor, which made the village look down on him.

Lao Gao said again: "Da Yu, you are a capable person, others say that you can't do it, my brother never believes it, haha." After speaking, he patted Lu Yu on the shoulder, and then left. Lu Yu was slightly moved.

After Lao Gao left, Lu Yu carried a bag that was not light, and thought, "Am I a capable person?" "But with the meat and the praise again, it's a good day.

Lu Yu opened the bag and looked at it, good guy, I am afraid that there are only a dozen catties of fresh meat in it. He poured out the meat and put it in a wooden basin, and there was a pig's large intestine in it, which was quite generous.

Lu Yu looked at the pile of pork in the wooden basin, and knew that it should be salted as soon as possible, the weather in August and September was still very hot, and this meat would stink and rot if it was not eaten for a day or two.

Lu Yu thought again, more than a dozen catties of meat, it must be for his father and younger brother to keep some. I don't know if my father is in the town or in the village; Although the younger brother is a runner, he usually eats not badly, and he is left to him just because he is his brother.

Lu Yu decided, wait for them to come back, and then make it for them to eat, if they don't come back for a long time, then forget it. Lu Ming usually goes home once a month.

Lu Yu carefully cleaned the pig's large intestine, cut it into a small section, and decided to eat it at night.

Smeared a thick layer of salt on the pork, threaded it with a rope and hung it on the top of the stove near the chimney, Lu Yu felt that the pork should be easier to preserve after smoking for a while.

After boiling the polenta, cut the large intestine into small pieces, blanch it with boiling water, and then scoop it up and drain the water. Heat the iron pot, put some vegetable oil, spicy seeds, heat the oil and pour it into the large intestine and stir-fry. Stir-fry until the fragrance is scattered and the large intestine is yellow, add salt and remove from the pot. Lu Yu has no other seasoning in his house except salt, if salt is a seasoning.

Lu Yu remembered that the last time he ate meat dishes seemed to be during the Dragon Boat Festival. That time, Lu Ming brought back three taels of meat from the town, and their brother fried them and ate them. At this time, looking at the fragrant fried fat sausage on the table, he actually drooled a little......

A small piece of fat intestines was quickly eaten cleanly, and even the plate containing the fat intestines was soaked in corn paste by Lu Yu and then eaten, and the mouth was full of fragrant food.

After eating, Lu Yu washed the kitchen knife again when he washed the dishes, and he felt that the dent on the kitchen knife was a little deeper. Lu Yu secretly complained to himself: "It's not good now, the only kitchen knife at home shouldn't be corroded." ”

Lu Yu was very remorseful, and felt that it was really not the right time. As the saying goes, "there is a knife on the head of the color word", but Lu Yu is "a knife on the head of the color word". He had no choice but to wash the knife and wipe it with a dry rag a few times, but there was no trace of water.

After washing the dishes, Lu Yu took another cold shower, feeling a lot more refreshed. Since the age of eighteen, Lu Yu has been using cold water for bathing, and even in winter.

By the way, I forgot to mention that Lu Yu's village is in a mountain depression, and the strange thing is that it is not very difficult to dig a well. There used to be a large well in the north of the village, and the whole village used to draw water from it. But a few years ago, when a family of four or five-year-old children drowned in a well, the village filled the well, and every family found someone to dig the well. It is very convenient to dig less than two feet into the ground to get out of the water. There is also a well behind Lu Yu's house, which was dug by someone when his mother was alive, and he still remembers that day his mother went to the town to cut a pound of meat to entertain the neighbors who helped.

It was not too late after taking a bath, Lu Yu took a chair and sat in the small courtyard behind the house, looking up at the stars. The stars are actually nothing to look at, small spots of light that glow and glow, but they can only be seen at night. The old people said that every star in the sky corresponds to a person in the mortal world, and Lu Yu thought to himself: "I don't know which one is my mother, and I don't know if she will see us in the sky." ”

Lu Yu's mother is a good woman, a good wife, and a good mother, but unfortunately her life is short. She is very different from the women in the same village.

For example, if a chicken is lost at home, other village women will stand at the door and scold, and at first they will scold the chicken thief who has or is not, scolding and scolding, and those who usually have a gap with her are all brought in by the accusation that Sang scolded Huai, in short, they thought that if they scolded people, the chicken would come back by itself.

And if Lu Yu's family loses a chicken, his mother will only let the brothers and her go to find it separately, most of the time they can find it, and if they can't find it, they won't scold anyone, and they will raise it again, but they will look at their own chickens more closely in the future.

In short, Lu Yu's mother is very different, not to mention scolding, even sighing and complaining rarely come out of her mouth. And her clothes are always very clean and tidy, although she wears a coarse old shirt.

Therefore, Lu Yu felt that if he married a daughter-in-law, it would be great luck to find a woman like his mother.

Maybe Lu Yu's mother is still alive, and the two brothers should be married. In the two years she was sick, Lu Yu had already reached the age of marrying a daughter-in-law, but because she was seeing a doctor and buying medicine for her mother, and her father couldn't quit the habit of drinking, how could half of the family use it to marry his daughter-in-law.

Lu Yu felt that he was getting old, and he gradually lost his expectations for marrying, and he just wanted his younger brother Lu Ming to find a girl to marry as soon as possible while he was not too old. But it takes a lot of money to get married......
