Chapter Twenty-Six: Bai Yitian's Troubles
When Bu silently conveyed the spirit of the meeting he secretly heard to the Zhou family compound, Xue Jian secretly admired, don't look at it from a small mountain village, there are really some levels here, what is the height of the Zhou family now? It is surrounded by countless halos, a county on the left and a fox fairy on the right, and this Zhou family has become a fairy-level existence that can only be watched from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.
If someone dares to say that the Zhou family is right and wrong, Xue Jian thinks in private, it is equivalent to putting himself directly on the opposite side of the people.
In fact, to be honest, most people in the village are honest people, but there are not many rat droppings in any village.
Wait, wait, why did the fox fairy come out again?! Just scolded me for being a fox spirit, it's so hateful!
Xue saw that she was wrong, and thought viciously, don't crash into the hands of the old lady......
Zhou Bo saw that Xue Jian's little face was jubilant at first, but then he was so angry that he knew that she finally understood it later, he couldn't help laughing, and suddenly remembered and asked, "Why haven't you seen Brother Yitian for half a day?" ”
Silently, he said, "My son-in-law, uh, is going up the mountain." ”
Zhou Bo was so angry that he was speechless, and slapped it on the armrest of his wheelchair, his leg injury had not healed, didn't anyone remember how it was injured?
"You ......" Zhou Bo took a deep breath hard, and after a few times he stabilized his body trembling with anger, and looked at everyone with cold eyes.
After a long time, he retracted his gaze, how could there be such a ready-made template as himself, and there were still people so brave and fearless!
This eldest prince of the Bai family doesn't know the ferocity of the spring beast, doesn't Zhou Jinsheng know either? Although a few days ago, Baizhi County ordered the officials of the county seat and the hunters of various villages to inspect Daqingshan, which had not produced a large beast for many years, and found no animals that were not in the past, and even the bear that Zhou Bo and they met appeared like a flat sky, but spring is the season for beasts to mate, and the mountain wolves are always fierce and abnormal, if something happens, Zhou Jinsheng, how many lives do you have to pay?
At that moment, he said to Buyu: "Don't speak, go to the rice field quickly, and call back Du Hai, the big tiger and the second tiger who is working." ”
"Xuejian, you go to Zhang, please go to Zhang Dashan!" He commanded coldly, and Yukimi quickly came back to his senses and trotted out.
"Mother Zhou, you go to Lizheng's house to borrow an ox cart." In the whole village, only the Li Zheng family has an ox cart.
sent everyone to the foot of Daqing Mountain, and the group didn't take long to find Bai Yitian and Zhou Jinsheng, which was fortunate that Zhou Jinsheng didn't dare to take Bai Yitian too far alone.
"How could something so big happen?" Li Zheng was even more frightened, and followed in person, no matter how many people could be squeezed in the car.
In the end, there are so many people, they can't come in vain, Zhang Dashan took the lead, Zhou Jinsheng Palace, and went to the dense forest for a long time, and in the end he hit more than a dozen pheasants and hares, and he came out immediately, and picked enough mountain mushrooms at the edge of the forest, and then came back.
Seeing that everyone returned home safely, Bai Yitian naturally still looked like he was giggling, and he didn't know how much heart he had made everyone bear.
Zhou Bo had a cold face and trained Zhou Jinsheng for a long time, "Even if the son of the Bai family wants to kill you, you can't take him up the mountain alone!" If something happens, our family will be a capital offense, do you understand? ”
Zhou Jinsheng hung his head and stood up, and said in a low voice: "Young Master, the villain knows that he is wrong. "He's just a countryman, where can he screw the orders of the county magistrate.
When Zhou Bo heard this, his expression eased slightly, looking at Zhou Jinsheng's cramped appearance, he also knew in his heart that he was just too honest, so he said, "Just remember it next time, go down." ”
After a pause, he remembered that Zhang Dashan and Li Zheng were running with him, and he hurriedly ordered Zhou Jinsheng to tell Xue Jian to know.
Zhou Jinsheng was depressed and was about to go to the kitchen, but was stopped by Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou said: "They all say that you are stupid, first you took the eldest young master up the mountain alone, and the eldest young master broke his leg; Today, I took the prince of the county to the mountain, but fortunately, God blessed him and did not have anything to do; Don't talk about you, you're used to it anyway. For Brother Zhang and the Li Zheng family, you don't need to say it, Xue Jian has his own arrangements, you can rest assured that the eldest young master! ”
Xu Cong'an was also teaching Bai Yitian a lesson in the house, "You are so transgressive, I'm afraid you want to scare the whole village of this small mountain village?" ”
Bai Yitian also knew that he was reckless today, and said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, you still don't know me?" Three or two big men can't get close, let alone just hunting, as for such a hard work? ”
After listening to Bai Yitian's words, Xu Cong'an directly threw a book over and scolded: "If you are in your house, you will tear down the house, and I won't care about you!" ”
Bai Yitian didn't dare to dodge, took this blow, then handed the book back again, and then said, "Uncle Xu, you have learned the right lesson!" ”
Besides, in the kitchen, Xue Jian has already put a half chicken pieces into the seasoning and wine to marinate half a column of incense, and then wait for the oil in the pot to burn to seventy percent when the sugar is poured in, stir-fry with a spatula until the bubbles are quickly poured into the chicken, fry until the chicken is slightly colored, pour in tangerine peel, cinnamon, bay leaves, fennel, pepper, star anise, grass fruit, fry for a while and pour the dried chili pepper Chaotian pepper and green onion, ginger and garlic into it, continue to stir-fry, and add the noodle sauce after a while, this is the chicken color is already relatively heavy, fry a few more, pour several mountain mushrooms into it, After stir-frying, add a small amount of water, turn to low heat and simmer for a while, then cut the green pepper and red pepper into large slices and put them in the stir-fry, and finally add an appropriate amount of salt. ”
At this time, the chicken is sauce-colored, red and green peppers, white mushrooms, and thick soup, which has long made everyone's mouths water.
first instructed Aunt Zhou to send a big bowl to Zhang Dashan's family and Lizheng's family, and no one wanted any of today's prey, and it was very unpleasant to delay half a day's farm work in vain.
Zhang Dashan's family was used to it, and when they saw the food, they knew that Xuejian made it himself, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Zhang were overjoyed, but the Li Zheng family shirked again and again before they reluctantly accepted it. After accepting it, I realized that this taste was actually a fresh fragrance that I had never eaten before, which provoked Wang Junfeng to slander his mother's craftsmanship.
At this time, Aunt Du had already added water to the pot, added ginger slices, star anise, green onions, and dried red peppers, and boiled; Divide the other half of the pheasant into small pieces, wait for the water to boil, add the chicken pieces, add 1 spoon of cooking wine, and cook for a while; After the chicken is cooked, scoop it up, soak it in cold water, and when the chicken cools, tear the chicken into small strips; At this time, Sanni had washed the garlic sprouts and cut them into sections; Then add an appropriate amount of oil to the pot, cut the dried red peppers, fry them over low heat to bring out the fragrance, add the garlic sprouts, stir-fry for a while, add shredded chicken, add an appropriate amount of salt, and continue to stir-fry until cooked.
I simply stir-fried two kinds of wild vegetables, and the lunch was ready.
After eating, Zhou Bo packed Bai Yitian and Bu Mu away, and put a jar of wild vegetable balls made by Xue Jian and a wild chicken, a basket of mountain mushrooms, and a basket of mountain mushrooms on the carriage.
Regarding farm work, the brothers and sisters of the Zhou family, including Du Hai, couldn't help much, and the family had little land, so they weren't nervous.
In addition to going to the fields, the men are much more vulnerable than fishing in winter. Seeing Wu Niang Liulang busy catching some small fish and shrimp after school, Qi Niang also came to take care of the ducks in the morning and evening, and they all felt that they couldn't go, and they all regarded fishing in the Daqing River as their daily work.
Now is the season of pure expenditure and no income, Erniang and Siniang calculate the silver in their hands every day, meat is rarely seen on the table, and the small fish and shrimp caught by everyone are naturally fed to the ducks, and when they are a little larger or larger, they are used by Xuejian to improve their lives.
Zhang Dashan is familiar with the butchers in the market, and Xue Jian often asks him to buy some big bones with the meat removed, and cook soup for Zhou Bo, and when he stir-fries, he will also put some into it, so that everyone can get some meat flavor.
The butcher is also very willing, in the past, such a big stick bone, fed to the dogs, the dogs thought that the meat was too clean, but now someone actually came to find it, and they happily sold it cheaply.
Zhou's mother and the neighbors who are good friends, go to Daqingshan every day to find some wild vegetables or mountain mushrooms, and the closer places have long been dug up by everyone, but they are too far away or or slightly deeper in the mountains, and they still dare not go.
The work of washing and washing at home is all on Du Ma alone, and Xue Jian will always silently help her boil the water and help her wash some small clothes.
Erniang and Siniang are responsible for sewing and mending work, and they are not idle all day long.
Du Hai felt that he was very useless, and when he ate, he always filled half a bowl sullenly.
After Xue Jian heard about it, he thought about it and discussed it with Zhou Bo, "Da Lang, seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the toilet at home needs to be cleaned up again." ”
Zhou Bo squinted at her: "What do you want to do?" Say! ”
The owners of large households use clean rooms and buckets for toilets, but the rooms in the old house of the Zhou family are limited, and there is no separate clean room.
Yukimi has long been dissatisfied with the latrine, and it has always been her heart disease, and this time she finally made up her mind to change the election.
Zhou Bo listened to her suggestion, nodded at her little head and said, "You are troublesome and troublesome!" ”
But in the end, Du Hai was called in, and the two of them discussed for another afternoon, and set up the Zhou family's thatched house renovation plan: "In this case, I have to trouble you." ”
Du Hai nodded: "Don't worry, young master!" ”
Although Du Hai listened to the novelty of this matter, it has always been his duty to obey orders and listen to commands.
There was a faint pain on both sides of the temples, because I had never heard of or seen such a latrine, but the young master had ordered it to do it.
However, Du's mother was more attentive than him after hearing this, and told Zhou's mother about it, and the two of them helped to get a lot of ideas.
After hearing this, Du Hai glared at his mother-in-law: "Look at what you can." "But in the end, I still listened to their opinions a lot.
Now, each courtyard is divided into two thatched houses for men and women, and each thatched house is divided into two pits for sitting and squatting, and the entrance of the thatched house is hung with small wooden signs of different shapes for boys and girls.
Let Yukimi design a tee sewer or something, even if she is killed, she can't design it, but it is still very easy and feasible to replace the floor of the thatched house with stone bricks and add a pit for sitting.
What's more, Xue Jian just put forward an idea or something, and Zhou Bo still has the final say on the overall plan.
The Zhou brothers and sisters are not disgusted with this kind of novelty, and after the thatched house is rebuilt, it is really much more convenient.
