Zhang Meiyu took the money, her eyes were moist: "Fang, thanks to you catching rabbits for some pocket money, our family is really jealous of the money." Coupled with the seven corners of the rabbit sold last time, there are two seven corners at home. Don't worry about salt and vinegar......"

Mingfang comforted her: "Mother, with me, our family will become richer and richer in the future, this money is drizzle." ”

At noon, as usual, it is fried cabbage and pasted cakes. Mingfang washed the rabbit's heart, liver, lungs and other internal organs, and made a delicious rabbit offal soup, the animal internal organs are rich in bile alcohol, and the nutritional value is very high, which is suitable for their mother and child to nourish their bodies.

Mingfang took out the cold medicine taken out from the clinic, falsely claimed that it was bought from the commune health center, and asked Zhang Meiyu to eat it. After eating, Mingfang didn't have time to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and hurriedly went to the forest farm, she had to catch a sparrow today, she and Li Hongbao still had an agreement!

Where the sun was shining, the snow had almost melted. Ming Fang is worried that the method of catching sparrows through the sieve may not be very good, and if he can't catch the sparrows, he can't change the white noodles of the Li family!

Mingfang walked along the forest path to the depths of the forest farm. She saw a hut in the distance. Wisps of green smoke rose from the roof. The sparrow liked to be in inhabited places, and she ran to the smoking hut.

The hut is surrounded by small trees, and sparrows land on the dirt road in the woods, chirping in search of food.

Mingfang put the sieve on the ground, made a slit with a wooden stick, sprinkled a handful of corn kernels in it, and she hid not far away, holding on to the string in her hand, waiting for the greedy sparrows to take the bait.

The clever sparrow soon discovered the delicacies. They first looked around the sieve, and two of the daring ones tentatively slipped into the sieve and ate it. The other sparrows saw that there was something delicious in it, and there was no danger, so they went in and grabbed it.

Ming Fang saw that the time was almost up, and hurriedly pulled the rope, and the sieve fluttered and fell, holding several sparrows.

Haha!

Mingfang took out the cloth bag, reached into the sieve, and pulled out the sparrows that were jumping around and put them in the pocket. She counted as she loaded, seven!

Not enough for ten! When the sieve suddenly fell, more sparrows flew away. Ming Fangxin said that she would have to deduct it a few more times, but the sparrow just now was frightened, and she had to change places. She was packing her things and preparing to leave when she heard a violent cough coming from the cabin.

Mingfang tied up her pockets, sieve, and sticks into the basket, and she ran into the hut to see what was going on.

The low hut was poorly lit, and the paper at the top of the window had a hole in it, letting in the cold wind. In front of the earthen kang, there is a stove hall, and there are still a few dry firewoods burning in it, but it is not cold in the hut.

An old man was lying on the kang, shaking his head inward and coughing.

"Old man, what's wrong with you?" Mingfang asked with concern as he approached him.

The old man slowly turned over and struggled to sit up from the kang, and the old man looked her up and down: "Girl, what are you doing in the forest farm, is there something wrong?"

Ming Fang looked around, picked up a thermos from the wooden cabinet against the wall, poured some hot water into the bowl next to him, and served it to the other party: "Uncle, what's wrong with you, are you sick?"

"Ahem...... the old man coughed again, "Little girl, quick, sit on the kang." ”

Ming Fang was also not polite, her body scurried, and she sat on the edge of the kang.

"Girl, it's a cold day, why did you come to the forest farm?" the old man had an indescribable majesty. Ming Fangxin said, this old man should be unusual, how did he end up in such a field?

"Catch sparrows, my mother is too weak and has a high fever, get her some meat to eat!" Mingfang dangled her two calves.

"Well, it's a filial child, so you...... cough cough cough cough ......" Before the old man finished speaking, there was another violent cough, and his body shook with the cough, which was very uncomfortable.

Ming Fang couldn't help but reach out and grab his arm to take his pulse.

The old man's arm was grabbed by Mingfang, and the old man was puzzled: "Girl, what are you grabbing me?"

Ming Fang flattened the old man's arm and pressed his fingers on the pulse of his wrist: "Uncle, I'll take the pulse for you." How long have you been coughing?"

"Old sick, bronchitis. ”

Ming Fang took the pulse, and asked the old man to open his mouth to check it, knowing that the old man was an old slow branch. It is difficult to cure this disease, and the symptoms can only be relieved by medication.

"Uncle, you are sick, why don't you go to the hospital?"

The old man shook his head. It's because you don't have the money or you don't want to go to the doctor, no matter what, you have to see a doctor if you are sick.

"Where's your medicine, uncle, coughing so badly, how can you do it without taking medicine?"

The old man coughed and shook his head.

Myrrh to eat!

Mingfang helped the old man lie down and told him to lie on the kang, she took off her shoes and went to the kang, kneeling on the kang with her legs, and the kang was hot. There is a lot of dry firewood in the forest farm, and dry firewood is burned in the stove hall in order to burn the kang, no wonder the hut is not cold at all.

Ming Fang picked up the old man's clothes, started from the old man's lumbosacral part with the thumbs and index fingers of both hands, pinched and twisted the old man's skin along the spine forward, every three pinching and twisting, and lifted it upwards hard, she pinched and twisted in a straight line until the large vertebrae, and then combed down along both sides of the spine, and so repeated many times, the old man wheezing and coughing better, it took a long time to work, Ming Fang was so tired that beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, she stopped.

"Are you comfortable, uncle?" Mingfang helped the old man straighten his clothes.

The old man sat up slowly: "Much better, thank you, girl." ”

Ming Fang settled the old man, came out of the hut, found a place with many sparrows, deducted a few sieves, caught a total of seventeen sparrows, and hurried home.

It was almost four o'clock when she got home, and Mingfang put down the basket. I went into the house to see if my mother had a better cold, but my mother was not in the house, thinking that she was going to Aunt Daling's house.

There is no one at home, just acting. She quickly entered the space, took out the big ingredients, star anise, cooking wine, sugar and other condiments from it, quickly cleaned the sparrows, burned the fire, put oil, and fried ten sparrows in the pot until golden brown and crispy, she simply sprinkled a layer of pepper and salt directly on the sparrows. The fragrance is full of fragrance, and the smell makes people drool.

Because it was too time-consuming to remove the feathers and guts of the sparrows, she only made ten, and dealt with Li Hongbao first, and then the remaining seven could only come down.

Ten spiced sparrows are removed from the pot and let cool slightly. Mingfang wrapped it in a clean sack. There are a lot of broken sacks thrown away by the team in the distribution room, Mingfang cut the two sacks along the hole yesterday, cut them into pieces, washed and dried, and now this sack is the best packaging.

The sun is in the west, and the time is just right. Mingfang tied up the sack wrapped in the sparrow, put it in the basket and walked out of the house, towards the reed pond on the east side of the courtyard wall.
