"Changgui, do you really want to raise so many dogs? You already have one at home, and if you have three, you'll have four. After that, there will be a little movement at night, and the four dogs will bark non-stop, and you will not be able to sleep at night. Zhang Baocheng was worried that he had also become an injured pond fish.

"Don't worry, I won't be able to argue, I'm going to build a kennel over there. If you want to quarrel in the future, you will also quarrel with your family. Changgui smiled.

"Mother's! Changgui, you can be a person! Zhang Baocheng couldn't wait to throw away the burden. It's a shame that Lao Tzu is still working hard to help you pick the puppies back, and you actually want to harm our family.

"Thanks to your thoughtfulness, I wouldn't have thought of it." Changgui couldn't stop laughing.

Changfu, Wang Yanhu, and Ma Yongxing also laughed all the time.

"Changgui, you must not do such a thing. Why don't you put it in the back mountain and build a kennel? Zhang Baocheng could only admit it.

"Don't worry, I'm going to build a wall. In the past few days, I have managed to get some bricks and cement back. Changgui said.

"Changgui, other people's families build new houses, it's better for you to build a wall first. Where is this approach? Changfu disagreed. The long house is still an old house. If it's that kind of wooden house, it's fine. The house of the Changgui family is an adobe house. In recent years, there has been no inspection of tiles. Often because the green tiles are broken, the rainwater is directly poured on the wall, and the adobe bricks are soaked in water, and they rot directly. Changgui's house is actually a dilapidated house now.

"There's no need to build a house now. If I want to build, I will build a building. Now it's hard to get concrete. It's too expensive to spend, it's not very cost-effective. However, the house can be simply repaired, and the walls can be painted with some lime, which does not cost much. Changgui still insisted on his own ideas.

It doesn't cost much to build a new house now. Nowadays, when people in the village build houses, they all ask others to help, and they don't need to spend money, they only need to eat three meals. Many people build their own houses by making adobe out of clay and then burning bricks in an earthen kiln. The craftsmanship is extremely extensive, and the quality of the red bricks is not optimistic. In some places, the red bricks are still clods of soil, and in other places they are burned too much, and the bricks are sintered together. The waste is extremely high.

The nearby big kiln brigade has built a brick kiln, and it is still the same kind of earthen kiln, but the villagers of the big kiln brigade are more experienced in burning bricks, and the waste billets burned out are much less. The quality of the bricks is also relatively uniform. However, their good bricks and broken bricks are to be mixed and sold together.

Wang Yuanlu, secretary of the big kiln brigade, is Luo Bencheng's father-in-law, but Wang Yuanlu is not the same as his son-in-law, people don't just care about picking up their crotch, but take the whole village to build a brick kiln. When money is earned, every household can share dividends. Those who work in the brick factory can receive wages.

Therefore, in this way, the Dayao Brigade is a little richer than the surrounding villages.

Wang Yuanlu is also a capable person, he has a way to get coal, otherwise, this brick kiln will not be able to open.

Although cement is not easy to get, since there is a cement factory in Jinshiqiao, as long as you are patient and queue up, you can always buy it. If there are people in the cement factory, you can skip the queue, find a way to get a ticket, and pay the money to haul the cement out.

Changgui didn't know anyone in the town, so he had to go to Jinshi Bridge to line up.

As for rebar, that's a harder material to buy. At present, the country's steel production is not very sufficient, and construction is being carried out everywhere in the country, and steel is very scarce. At this stage, if you want to build a building, you can only use floor slabs. This can't satisfy Changgui.

When he got home, Changgui left a few people to eat at home. They all waved their hands and declined.

"Forget about eating. You and Zong Qiu are also tired for a day, so take a good rest. Later, I will ask my mother-in-law to cook more, and you and Zong Qiu can go to my house for dinner. Zhang Baocheng said.

Changgui was really too lazy to cook, so he agreed directly: "Okay." You whole a few meat dishes. That big rooster of yours is so noisy that I can't sleep every morning, so let's just slaughter it. Stir-fry some bacon, it should be enough. ”

"You're welcome! Then don't make up your mind about the rooster. This is the chicken king of our Xuefeng Village. The roosters in the whole brigade had to wait for my chickens to make their first crow before they dared to open their mouths. Zhang Baocheng said proudly.

Zhang Baocheng's rooster is very tall and fierce, more difficult than a dog, passing by their house, the rooster is flying up to chase and peck. There is no child who is not pecked and cried.

However, because Zong Qiu often plays at Baocheng's house, he is also more familiar with this big rooster. Every time it passed, the big never attacked. Unless it's to provoke on your own initiative. Zong Qiu threw a few small firecrackers on this big rooster during the New Year, and was chased by the big rooster for several days.

"It's no problem with bacon, eat as much as you want, and be full! Just ask if you can eat it. Zhang Baocheng said with a smile.

For a while, I always ate bacon, eating it in the morning, eating it at noon, eating it at night, and then eating it again the next day. When you burp a lot, it's all a bacon smell. can make Zhang Baocheng scared. Changgui also often eats wild meat, and he is really smoked by the smell of this wild meat. In the past few days, when I talked about eating bacon, I shook my head again and again.

"Forget about bacon. I'd rather have a side dish. Changgui hurriedly waved his hand.

Zhang Baocheng laughed. The others couldn't help laughing, everyone ate wild meat and wanted to vomit. There is no meat to eat, and it is not comfortable to eat meat for meals. I feel that a mouth is a smell of beast meat.

Zhang Baocheng also joked with Changgui. In fact, when he went out today, he asked his mother-in-law Chunxi to exchange for a liter of bean tofu.

In addition, the family fed two old hens, two eggs a day. Originally, it was saved and sold on the street to cover the usual expenses. But now Changgui can make money steadily, and this egg is usually used to entertain guests.

There are a lot of things that use eggs these days. For example, if a relative's family gives birth to a child, they either catch a chicken or take one or twenty eggs. At this time, it was not easy for the family. But everyone huddles together to keep warm, at least so that the newborn child will not be deficient due to nutritional problems. The children of this era survived by this simple wisdom.

Changgui went to other places, and Aunt Chunxi also boiled some eggs and asked Changgui Zongqiu to eat them on the road. Of course, if Changgui goes there often, he won't have this treatment. Otherwise, her chickens won't be able to get down.

In the future, if Zong Qiu is admitted to the university, he will be able to receive hundreds of hard-boiled eggs alone. Of course, by the time Zong Qiu went to college, he was no longer interested in delivering boiled eggs.

When Zhang Baocheng walked home, Changgui shouted from behind: "Baocheng, don't kill that rooster." Just eat some! ”

Baocheng laughed: "Changgui, it's useless for you to be a general, that rooster won't kill it." I'll tell you, one rooster in my house is worth four of your dogs. ”

"Baocheng, when my four dogs grow up, I'm worried about whether your rooster can be saved!" Changgui said with a smile.

"If your dog dares to touch my chickens, I must eat their dog meat." Pou Chen is not worried. The dogs that bite the chicken in Xuefeng Village will eat dog meat.

Zong Qiu slept soundly on the bed. Changgui pulled the door and didn't lock it, so he went to the back mountain.

The herbs fed to the dog in my memory are relatively common plants, and they can be found in front of and behind the house of Xuefeng Zhai.

In less than half an hour, Changgui found all those herbs.

Put it in a mortar stone to grind the herbs into a pulp, and then grind the rice into powder, knead it with the herb pulp, and then take it to steam and feed it to the dogs.

Changgui put some water in the pot of the large stove and then immersed the steamer in the water. Then wrap a few circles of damp cloth around the steamer, and then knead the ball of rice and herbs into small balls and put them in the steamer layer by layer. Set it up and cover the pot.

When the water in the pot was about to boil dry, Changgui stopped the fire.

Before the lid was lifted, I could already smell an alluring fragrance.

Xiao Hei ran into the kitchen from the outside, and kept wagging his tail at Changgui, humming and chirping, as if he wanted Changgui to feed him something.

"You're really not afraid of death. I knew you loved to eat so much, why did I run so far and be half tired to death? Changgui kicked Xiao Hei out.

The three puppies that Changgui bought today were still in the basket, and Changgui carried the three puppies into the kitchen with a basket.

The puppies also smelled the scent and barked incessantly, and they were hungry too.

A few two-month-old puppies can't eat enough just by feeding the female dog's milk, and they have to eat some food with the female dog at every meal. Otherwise, the old man wouldn't be in a hurry to sell them. It's too much food.

Changgui opened the lid of the steamer, and the fragrance became stronger, and even Changgui himself moved his index finger.

The little black dog rushed in from the outside like crazy. yelled at Changgui is angry: You are really a dog! Such a delicious thing, you eat it alone!

The three puppies were also anxious, desperately climbing up the basket, but after all, they were too small, where could they climb up?

"Why does it smell so good?" Changgui also doesn't understand it, isn't it just a few inconspicuous herbs? How do you make the dumplings so fragrant? I just don't know what it tastes like.

"Let's experiment with these three dogs first, and then taste them when we're sure they're not poisonous?" Changgui even had the idea of tasting this dog food dumpling.

After the rice noodle herb dumplings are cooked, they condense into a ball, and when you add them up with chopsticks, they feel quite elastic.

Changgui put the dumplings into a broken bowl. I'm going to wait for it to cool down before feeding the three puppies. Feed them one by one, of course. In case the medicine dies, the latter two don't need to be used for testing.

But I didn't count it, but I didn't count that the little black dog actually jumped on the stove, picked up a rice noodle herb dumpling and ran. I'm not afraid of being burned to death, and when I get outside, I bite it. Whining. It's so hot that it's sour. The little black dog swallowed it in one bite, and he didn't taste anything yet. After eating, I ran into the kitchen again.

This time, Changgui was wary of it: "I can't eat it anymore, the medicine is dead, so I can only eat dog meat!" ”
