Not to mention whether Ye Yaodong succeeded at night, anyway, he slept in the sun the next day and was reluctant to get up, and he was still wrapped in the bed like a maggot.

In the days when he ran outside, the sky had been gray, and he had never seen the sun at all, only the cold wind blowing, so cold that his hands were about to get frostbite, and his nose was dripping.

When he rested, the sun came out again.

The noise of the children outside came one after another, and they couldn't get up when they went to school, and they didn't have to go to school again during the winter vacation, and they all got up earlier than anything else on a cold day.

Ye Yaodong wrapped himself in the quilt, brewed for a while, and saw that it was eight o'clock, so he was reluctant.

His torn towel had been replaced with a new one, and the old towel hung under the table as a hand cloth.

"The goose at the back door is quite fat, you can kill one during the New Year."

Looking at the group of geese swaying there, holding a basin of warm water to wash his face, he wanted to splash them on those geese with his cheap hands.

Thinking so, he did the same.

Instantly startled a big goose jumping and screaming, and then after the group of geese eased up, they immediately rushed to the back door, Ye Yaodong quickly closed the back door, and let them eat a closed door, they could only quack there.

"What are you doing?" Lin Xiuqing listened to his big action of closing the door, and there was another screaming movement at the back door, and asked suspiciously.

"I didn't do anything, I just thought that I would be able to eat stewed goose in an iron pot in a few days, and you should remember to put a little more mushrooms, potatoes, lettuce, dried radish, and more fragrant."

"It's still early for the Chinese New Year."

"I'll think about it in advance."

"Come and eat the omelet, freshly fried."

Ye Yaodong was surprised, and deliberately looked out the window at the sun, "The sun came out in the west?" Isn't it porridge today? It's rare, the porridge that hasn't changed at all throughout the year, and today I'm finally willing to change it? ”

Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "My mother brought back a bag of flour last night, saying that it was sent by the village committee, otherwise where did our family get the flour fried egg cake?" ”

"That's right, this is a New Year's benefit sent in advance?"

"Well, there are two catties of fat meat, two catties of pork belly, I'll boil the fat out of the oil later."

"Yes, you can finally have meat oil, by the way, put some shallots, boil the shallots with a little oil, dig a spoonful when cooking noodles, spray fragrant, and you can also use it to accompany rice."

"As long as you can eat, the lard is used to stir-fry the vegetables a little more fragrant."

"You also know, you still cook rapeseed oil every day."

"Isn't this my mother's family who took it and didn't want money? If you have it at home, where do you need to buy it from outside and eat it? ”

"You can cook ...... two types of oil in turn"

Ye Yaodong ate the egg cake in the bowl, only to feel that the fragrance was dead, and he walked outside while eating.

Listening to the constant noise in the open space next door, he walked over again to bask in the sun for a while.

It's winter vacation, and the toys at home are taken out to play again, and a group of people are playing football there.

Ye Xiaoxi was in charge of running, where the ball was, she ran wherever she went, and before she reached the destination, the ball moved, and she continued to the next destination.

The face of the runner was red and fluttering, and he was more energetic than anyone else, but he had never touched the ball at all, and his face was still so excited.

"Why don't you look smart at all?"

He stood on the side and watched them play while eating, and only after eating did he wave to Ye Chenghu.

Ye Chenghu thought that his father was looking for something good for him, so he ran over happily, but he got empty bowls and chopsticks.

"Help me get it in."

"Why me?"

"Because you were born to me, you have to do whatever you want to do, go quickly."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he walked towards the workshop, regardless of Ye Chenghu's depressed face holding the dishes and chopsticks.

"Every day you say that I picked it up, and now you say that I was born to you."

He hummed and complained twice, and hurriedly ran home with the dishes and chopsticks.

The workshop was in full swing, and a long wooden board was placed against the wall, and the board was full of fish, and a group of aunts sat on the side and slaughtered the fish neatly.

After killing one, he threw it into the frame on the side, and on the other side, someone specially cleaned and pickled there, and his father was idle there to dry, with a clear division of labor.

There were still thirty or forty baskets of fish piled up in the corner, probably until dark.

Ye Yaodong watched these aunts slaughter and slaughter them neatly, and RT-Mart's masters who have been killing fish for 30 years are not as sloppy as them.

He looked around before walking towards his father, helping to dry by the way.

"What about the two boys on duty?"

"I'm going to fetch water, and they've been fetching water there all the time during the day."

"Oh."

"When the big ship is launched in two days, who are you going to call to come with you?"

"Just call two? Isn't Ah Guang always at home? Call him, the eldest brother and the second brother will see if they are at home at that time, otherwise I will go and call Xiaoxiao and Ah Zheng later, they didn't go to sea at night, they must be at home. ”

"Look at it yourself, it's okay to leave your brother at home to help set off firecrackers, anyway, tell someone in advance, so as not to be called temporarily if you go to sea."

"Yes, I'll go to their house and call it later."

"How many cylinders have been sold in recent days? Don't you go these days? ”

Ye Yaodong told his father about the sales situation again, he has been going out early and returning late in the past few days, and when he comes back every night, his father is no longer there, and in the morning, he also left in a hurry.

"That's okay to sell, just go and replenish it after a while."

"Well, we'll see how the replenishment is going when the time comes. After the year, my own fishing boat also joined the fishing, and I thought about ordering another batch of large vats with wide mouths, with a larger capacity, eight or nine hundred catties is the best, so that it can be fermented in the open air outside. ”

"The previous batch of barrels will definitely not be enough to fill when the time comes, and the volume of the two ships will be even larger. Now these vats are all small openings, only suitable for transportation and storage, and the capacity is also small, so they cannot be used for fermentation at all. ”

Of course, Ye's father has no opinion, he takes care of his own factory and makes his own decisions, "Then you see for yourself, it's best to return to the cost and then invest, so that you don't feel distressed, and you spend less money." ”

"Hmm."

"When the time comes, the price will rise when it is ripe......"

Just started to sell, and his father was thinking about the price increase, and he was quite good at it.

"Hehe, when the time comes, how can I sell it for a year or two first."

After Ye Yaodong finished drying the basket at his feet, he went to other locations to take a look and feel the dryness.

It is easy to dry when the cold wind blows in winter, and it is easy to dry without sun.

After looking around and knowing it in his heart, he went to find his fox friend and dog.

Ah Zheng and Xiaoxiao are of course no problem, as soon as he said that he would go out to test the water with the big boat, the two of them were more active than him, and they both said that they were resting early for the New Year.

Ah Zheng also said that he had earned enough money this year, so he didn't have to work hard to earn it anymore, lest he have no money to earn next year, and he almost didn't get beaten by his father......

They also asked him to drink in advance to celebrate, of course Ye Yaodong had no opinion, it just so happened that he was almost done, and he had already started to rest today, and he was idle.

He also went to Ah Guang's house by the way, squeaked with him, and remembered to go to his place to drink at night.

"Why don't you go around the mountains when it's dark and grab some game for wine?" I'm tired of eating seafood every day. ”

"Okay? I took my two younger brothers with me and taught them how to shoot by the way, and when I mentioned it a few days ago, they thought about it every day, and asked me every day when I would go up to the mountains to hunt, and they couldn't wait to touch the barrel of the gun. ”

The two hit it off.

"Then wait until the game is in hand, and then drink."

In the evening, it was Wang Guangliang's turn to be on duty, so Ye Yaodong took him and his cousin with him, and temporarily called his father to go to the workshop to watch for a while.

Father Ye looked at the backs of them leaving, and thought it all in pieces, "I can't sit still just when I'm free, I don't go to the sea but I have to run up the mountain, and I don't know anything about running around at night......"

Ye Yaodong carried a five-and-a-half half, took a dirt gun, and took them to deliberately walk from the path where no one was, so as not to be seen by others.

Fortunately, in the winter, everyone shrunk into the house as soon as it gets dark, or they wrap up the quilt early, and there are almost no people on the road.

"Dong Ge...... You're tired of taking two handfuls, so I'll get you one......"

"We'll get it for you, Brother Dong......"

Ye Yaodong handed the earthen gun to Wang Guangliang, "Take it, don't press it indiscriminately, don't point the muzzle of the gun at people, and then aim and shoot when you see the prey on the mountain." ”

"Yes, yes!"

Wang Guangliang was very excited, touching the barrel of the gun back and forth, "I have seen my family's earthen gun before, but after the militia team was disbanded, it was received by the village committee, and my father is also stupid and will not stay quietly." ”

"Brother Dong, is it just us?"

"Do you think you can do it?"

The two shook their heads at the same time, letting them catch monkeys in the mountains, stealing fruits is almost the same, how can they hunt? It's okay to hit someone.

"That's it, you won't be able to, I won't, it's definitely not just us, the master is waiting for us at the bottom of the mountain."

"Who? Brother Dong, you also specially invited a master? ”

"You'll know when you get there."

When Ye Yaodong took the two of them to the bottom of the mountain, Ah Guang and Xiao Ah Zheng were already waiting there.

"Huh? Brother Guang, they're also there! ”

"Where's the master?"

"Your brother Guang is omnipotent in the mountains and the sea."

"Brother Guang is so powerful?"

Ah Guang also carried a clay gun, and after hearing their words, "Awesome wool, it's you weak chickens, Lao Tzu has been stealing the family's guns for three days since he was eleven or twelve years old, and quietly went up the mountain to fight tooth sacrifices." ”

"Indeed, when I was a child, I roasted chicken with Ah Guang on the mountain, and I didn't go home until I finished eating." Xiao nodded.

Ah Zheng misses it very much, "Then will we also roast on the mountain later?" ”

"Looking for death, it's dry in the winter, what if it's on fire?" Ah Guang said angrily.

"I'll go to my workshop later, the two cauldrons are ready-made there, and they can be heated by burning the fire, it's not cold at all, and it won't disturb the family."

Xiaoxiao: "This is good, drinking while roasting the fire." ”

Ah Guang: "Let's take a walk, let's see if there are any pheasants or hares on the mountain, there are no wild pheasants or hares in winter, there is no spring to fight." ”

Ah Zheng: "As long as there are no wild boars, it's fine......"

Ye Yaodong kicked over, "I'm a crow's mouth, if there is a wild boar, you ...... back."

"I'm back, I'm back."

"Do you want to go to sea at night?"

"I don't want to go, ...... a day off"

"I told my dad directly, take a break for the New Year first, and keep the money for next year."

"Yes, lest you not make money next year, you will earn a little less this year." Ye Yaodong smiled and echoed his words, teasing him.

Ah Zheng smiled, "Yes, yes, I earned almost this year, and the God of Wealth should have received all the approvals, and I will say goodbye more after the New Year, and earn a little more next year." ”

"Can it still be like this? Did the God of Wealth also take an early vacation for the New Year? ”

"For sure, the gods also have to have holidays, so it's okay for us to take early vacations with the gods, they don't go to work, we don't work, and there's nothing wrong with synchronizing."

"But it's still early for ...... Chinese New Year"

"The orange is round, the olive is pointy, and the stove lady wants to go to heaven after eating it, do you understand? It means that the New Year is about to go to heaven for the New Year, and it is not a few days before the New Year...... Definitely rested, like we all have to take an early break for the New Year......"

A few people were rambling while going up the mountain, gagging a few nonsense, and saying everything.

However, I don't know if they are too noisy, they wandered around the mountains for almost an hour, and they didn't see any small animals coming out to feed.

"Not even a rabbit?"

"I knew that I brought two dogs from the house, and those stupid dogs are not running around now, and they are shrinking out of the sidecar every day, and they can't get rid of them."

"Isn't it possible to make that kind of trap?"

"Who has time to go up the mountain every day, at most, they are occasionally idle and bored, and their mouth is itchy to go up the mountain to take a look."

"Brother Dong, you teach us how to shoot first, so that we don't have to wait for us to be in a hurry."

"I don't even have a shadow of chicken feathers, and it's useless to teach it." He said so, but he still taught them how to shoot and how to aim.

Originally, I also came to the mountains to teach by the way, and I could teach it first if I didn't see the prey.

"Give it a try, aim at an open space and take turns firing a shot, and you're done tonight."

"Okay."

Wang Guangliang held the gun and shook it back and forth, and everyone who was bluffing hurriedly retreated.

"Don't sway your horse, if you run into someone, you have to take your life."

He was instantly honest, casually aiming at a bush of grass before firing a shot.

"What's that?"

"Seems to be something?"

"Something seems to have fallen in the grass?"

A group of people were amazed.

"Let's take a look at ......"

Together, they ran towards the bushes where the shots had been fired.

Suddenly, a muntjac slipped from the top of the hillside, fell off half of its feet, and then rolled down again.

Several people looked at the hillside not far away comically, and they were all stunned, but Ah Guang reacted quickly, raised the gun in his hand and shot out.

The muntjac, who originally wanted to escape, fell to the ground in an instant, twitching and writhing, and his hooves were digging on the ground, but he couldn't run.

Everyone immediately ran over.

"Is this all right?"

"Just shoot out, startled the muntjac above heard the movement and ran away, but panicked and rolled down?"

"Maybe that's really the case?"

"Heh, I thought I was going back empty-handed, but I didn't expect to be able to pick up a muntjac, a big supplement."

"That's right, it's a big supplement, and I'm blessed at night."

"It's good that I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have run away, this thing is a thief."

"Let's go, carry this one back, while it's not too late, kill the stew, and you can eat a bowl of hot tonic soup at night."

"No, wait... There's a rabbit here, and I just shot a random shot at the grass and hit a hare. ”

Everyone was distracted by the muntjac, but Wang Guangliang was thinking about what he had hit.

After the muntjac was hit, he took one look and ran into the grass to look for it, and really found him a gray rabbit that was struggling.

He grabbed the rabbit's two ears and lifted them up for everyone to see, and the light of the flashlight also hit the rabbit, and the little rabbit's two feet twitched and kicked in mid-air.

"Ahh Really hit something, it's still a rabbit. ”

"Both pots came in handy."

Wang Guangliang was also happy, "My luck is so good, I can shoot a rabbit at any time in the grass." ”

"It's my turn......"

"Then you can shoot at the grass or the hillside, and we'll go back when we're done, and we'll have enough to eat."

Ah Di touched the barrel of the gun that was still hot, he didn't expect him to have that good luck, and learned Wang Guangliang to shoot at the bottom of the hill, although he felt that there was nothing, and he shot an empty gun, but he was also satisfied.

"Hehe, or am I lucky...... As soon as he said that there was not even a rabbit, he immediately hit a rabbit after a shot. ”

"Give me the gun, go, a muntjac, a hare, satisfied."

"Let's go, take it home and kill, this muntjac is not small, it is an adult, it weighs more than 30 pounds, enough for us to eat for two or three days."

Everyone was also very happy, and those who participated in the harvest in person were naturally different.

As soon as they walked around the mountain, it was just over an hour, and they hula a group of people walked down.

In these years, not only are the marine resources abundant, but the resources in the mountains are also abundant, and of course, their luck also accounts for a large part, and they are not moldy.

One of them grabbed the hare, and the other carried the muntjac, and walked back to the workshop as usual.

Father Ye shook his head when he saw it in the workshop, "If you are idle all day long, you can't be idle." ”

"You won't say that later."

"When you're done killing and cooking, it's probably going to be dawn, so I'm so stupid to wait there?" After Father Ye finished speaking, he went back with his hands behind his back.

Ye Yaodong didn't care about him, anyway, if it was cooked, he would put it out and put it up, and then heat it up for him tomorrow.

The spatulas in the workshop are also ready-made, as long as you go home and get a knife and some spices.

"Oh no, do you know how to cook?"

"Huh?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you.

"I'll eat."

"I'll eat it too."

"I'll light the fire."

"I can kill, I can peel, but I don't know how to cook." Ah Guang said depressedly.

"It's over, one by one will only eat."

"If you don't dislike it, I can reluctantly fry it......"

"Forget it, the fat man is not at home?"

"I don't know, doesn't he have a shop in town? You don't come back every day, do you? ”

"Go and ask, Dongzi, you ride to ......"

"I'm not going, the car is for you, you ride it."

I don't know what he's lost yet, he's afraid of being beaten.

"I'll go, I'll go, I'll call." Wang Guangliang responded positively.

"Then there you go."

The fat couple will come back every few days for a night or two to take care of the children, and it just so happened that they bumped into them today.

As soon as the person came, he walked towards Ye Yaodong with great momentum, Ye Yaodong knew that there would be such a result.

I haven't seen him for only a month or two, and the fat man has lost a lot of weight, and after he has changed from a dead fat man to a strong man, he has been vigilant and vigilant under everyone's surprise.

Because the momentum was so strong, the stool fell to the ground, and he immediately ran to the open space on the side.

"What? Why? Murder? Stop, stop, stop......"

"Don't you run......"

"Don't chase ......"

"What are you doing?"

Ye Yaodong circled around the small house in the workshop, running left and right for a while, shouting while running, and the fat man also chased and scolded, making everyone stunned.

It wasn't until both of them were exhausted and panting, standing in place, their hands on their knees, hunched over and panting, that they stopped.

"You should thank me for helping you lose weight, look at how much you have changed now, your wife will be gentle with you, right?"

"You can pull a few down, she stands by the bed with a knife every day and shouts at me to get up, I am scared to death, it's all your idea, come and beat me first."

"Lao Tzu gave you ideas, let you earn money and let you lose weight, shouldn't you thank me?"

"I almost didn't lose half of my life by you, I'm tired and I'm going to die of exhaustion, are you embarrassed to say? I haven't met it for a while, otherwise I won't kill you. ”

"The heart was eaten by the dog, the dog bit Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people, you should come to the door with a big gift to thank me, it depends on me to get rich."

", before I get rich, I'm tired to death, know how many hours I sleep every day now? Five hours! Made, it's all so hard and thin, look at the meat on my belly. ”

"Isn't that good? It's healthy to be thinner, it's not good for your body to be too fat, you look at us one by one......"

"You can pull a few down, Lao Tzu just listened to your deception, and he fell into a big fool, and now he can't do it."

The two shouted in the air from a distance, but let the people next to them understand their grievances, and no one bothered to pay attention to them at this moment.

Fight, fight, fight, just look at the excitement.

"Tell me if your pocket is bulging now, and if you listen to me, are you making money? Or is your wife sensible, and she greets me so warmly when she sees me, just you, like the enemy, are you still human? ”

"You're not human, I'm tired and thin."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but laugh when he heard his aggrieved words.

"It's okay, work for another two years, and when you lose weight like us, you can change careers, and then you can set up a food stall and a seafood restaurant, and you will be the boss."

"I'm also the boss now, who comes to buy buns and doesn't call me boss? No, I don't want to be as thin as your bamboo pole, most of the year has been really miserable, and I have been stared at by the tigress, I really can't do it. ”

"Whoever earns money is not tired, we are also tired of earning money."

"But which cook have you ever seen who is thin?"

"Hahaha, laugh to death, don't talk about it, I'll let you clip two more pieces of meat."

"...... If you don't call me to come and work, you won't even remember to look for me. ”

"Am I not afraid of being beaten?"

"You still know, I'm still a little pressed in my heart."

"Hehe, everyone is also busy, they are all busy making money, going to sea early and returning late, I also have a lot of things, I just called you today when I rested."

"Call me to cook, I know."

Ye Yaodong walked over happily and hooked his shoulder, "It's good to be a little self-aware, why don't you cook something?" Tell you to eat? ”

The fat man pushed over with one elbow, "You have a lung, just now you told me to eat two more pieces, and my face changed so quickly." ”

"Hurry up and get to work, fry a bowl of dried fish first, and wait for the rabbit to be killed in the pot......"

"This rabbit has to be smoked to be delicious."

"Aren't you coming, waiting for you?"

"Forget it, fry it, save trouble, go back and get the peppers."

"Okay!"

Ye Yaodong hurriedly ran back to pick chili peppers, and by the way, he moved a jar of rice wine.

The two cauldrons in the workshop are burning vigorously, the firewood under the fire crackles, and the firelight reflects the smiles on everyone's faces, which makes the atmosphere more harmonious.

They cut rabbits, cut rabbits, peel muntjac, and turn pots upside down, but they performed their own duties, and their busy work was in full swing.

"Or will you enjoy it, come here to drink and have a supper."

"Aren't you there too?"

"I'm stepping on my horse, and I'm going to get up at three o'clock tomorrow morning and go to the town to open the door and sell steamed buns."

Everyone laughed.

"It would be nice to be able to make money."

"Surely this muntjac can't be eaten today, and it will continue tomorrow?"

"Okay, anyway, we have an early break for the New Year."

"Grass!"

The fat man held a spatula and gestured high at them, "I really want to give you a spatula, seeing you so comfortable, why am I so uncomfortable?" ”

Ye Yaodong glanced at him with a smile, "Then I see that you are more uncomfortable earning money than I am losing money myself, otherwise you don't earn it, and you should rest for the New Year in advance." ”

Ah Zheng also laughed, "Yes, I also have pink eye, don't earn it, rest, I'm tired and thin." ”

"You're going to tell my wife?"

"Isn't that your wife, the wind blows on your pillow."

"Alas, she is happy, she can earn money and lose weight, saying that she will work until the Chinese New Year's Eve, doesn't this mean my old life?"

"Let's do it, I can make money anyway, save more money, and make the store bigger next year." After Ye Yaodong's joke, it was rare to say to the point.

"Let's talk about it next year."

Just a bowl of fried dried fish and spicy rabbit meat, everyone has already dried up the wine, chatting and eating.

There is still half a muntjac stewed in the cauldron, this thing is not two or three hours, and the muntjac skin is not stewed, they are not in a hurry anyway, they are chatting while drinking, anyway, there are snacks and food, and they can still roast the fire if they stew slowly.

After eating almost, one person eats another bowl of muntjac and goes home to sleep, and if there is any leftover, everyone can pack an extra bowl and go back to taste it for their wives and children.

Lin Xiuqing had already fallen asleep, and he was called up to eat.

"I thought you were going to the mountains again at night? I've just been free......"

"Eat it while it's hot, don't be verbose, it's just cooked, I'm going out to eat."

Before Lin Xiuqing could speak, he immediately ran away again.

He only smelled it, tasted a mouthful of soup, and then came back with a bowl to honor his wife, and the meat was not eaten yet.
