Chapter 119: Fried Cow Dung
"The new drawer is hot, and the bread is hot!"
"Oh, lamb's head!"
"Smoked fish, fried gluten!"
Although it had just snowed heavily, the streets were still bustling with activity as the New Year approached.
The countrymen rushed to the city with wheelbarrows full of agricultural goods, thinking that they would sell more shoes, buy some canvases for clothes, red rope for tying their hair, and if they had leftovers, they could also buy more tobacco, and with this thing, they could enjoy themselves for a long time while lying in the wheat straw.
The people in the city have long been accustomed to seeing the two humming generals of radish and cabbage, and they want to enrich the table in recent days, even if they are shy in their pockets, they must carry a small fish, and they have more than enough every year, no matter how sad the current day is, they are also looking forward to a little turn in the future.
What's more, the country is also winning the war now.
Cheng Nuo, who was sitting by the gate, carefully observed the passers-by on the street, guessing what industry they were engaged in, where they came from, where they were going, and thinking about what useful changes he could make for them.
On closer inspection, the changes may not seem like much, but they are all useful.
Seed selection and breeding not only helped the flour union, but also helped the surrounding villagers to increase grain production, although it did not let the price of grain fall much, but at least in this year did not fluctuate as violently as usual, and it was more reassuring to buy.
As for synthetic ammonia, which has a better effect, because it has just appeared, the market recognition of this new product is not high. However, quite a few landlords and rich peasants were somewhat interested, and although they did not purchase on a large scale, they had already begun to carry out experimental plots, and by the time the winter wheat harvest was next year, the price of grain would already be much cheaper.
But what really impresses most people is the radio, the most obvious thing is that in order not to miss the listening time, many families have begun to cook in advance, and wait until the radio starts for a short time, specially hold a bowl of fast, hold the prepared meal, listen to it under the speaker, and eat it with relish.
"After doing so much technology, I finally returned to the word "people's livelihood", and when we wait until the beginning of spring, we can slowly take care of the "military", Haber, this old boy still owes me a batch of chemical weapons information, and I don't know how much I can bring back this time."
Standing up, Cheng Nuo came to the eaves, stretched out his hand to catch the melted water, his hand was cold, and his heart was warm: "Time is still in time."
Li Laosan, who was sweeping the snow in the yard, was about to pass by the door, but suddenly saw the gate light up, and thought that he had forgotten to close the door last night, so he was very annoyed, and quickly dropped the broom to close the door.
Walking up the steps and finding a figure outside the door, he looked at it carefully, and it was his husband, and he was still in the snow, and he was immediately a little anxious: "Hey, sir, why are you here, is it cold, I'll go and bring you a stove to warm up."
Looking back at Li Laosan's worried appearance, Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "Lao Li, do you remember the scene when we first met?"
Li Laosan was stunned for a while, and then said with a smile: "How can I forget, it was such a snowy day at the beginning, and I was worried about where the money for the next meal was.
As he spoke, Li Laosan shook his feet: "Look, this is what I'm wearing, if it weren't for you, don't say whether our family could survive that winter, it's the Zhili flood last time, and I don't know where I was washed by the Dragon King."
Unexpectedly, the other party not only remembered the original incident, but even the shoes were still worn by him all the time, Cheng Nuo was moved, but also a little cramped:
"It's been so long, can you still wear these shoes?"
"Of course I can wear it, I went back and brushed it, and let the boy sew some new cotton, and now it's warm." Li Laosan's face was honest, and he didn't know what he thought, so he wanted to take off his shoes: "Sir, in fact, these shoes are going to be a little dirty, or you try it, I will still wear my own old ones."
"Don't, don't, you'll put it on for you, put it on quickly." quickly stopped the other party's behavior, Cheng Nuo cried and laughed: "I only have two feet myself, and I can't wear too many shoes, so I'd better keep them myself."
Li Laosan didn't seem to be cheating, with a little regret on his face: "That's it, that's waiting
Go back and let the child and his mother sew a few more pairs for you, the current craftsmanship is not worse than other people's shoes."
At this moment, an ox cart slowly drove on the street, and when passing by the courtyard, a soak of cow dung came to the street.
Originally, this was nothing, but it attracted the attention of the children, especially at the end of the year, and their pocket money was much richer than before.
The so-called girl wants flowers, the boy wants a cannon, and the old man wants a felt hat.
Naturally, there is no artillery battle in the dog's pocket, and at this time he was wandering around the courtyard to see what was good to bomb, and he happened to see cow dung, and his eyes lit up.
Ignoring his sister's obstruction, he ran out directly and picked the biggest cannon from his pocket and plugged it in.
"Brother, the clothes are newly made by our mother, if you stick this thing, I will have to eat you when I go back."
"You know what? Clothes will always get dirty one day, sooner or later, if our clothes are clean every day, it seems that our mother has nothing to do, then it will not work."
"You...... You're a fallacy!"
"Cut, don't be like you little girl, run away for a while, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
Seeing that Nidan'er and Goudan'er were about to quarrel again, Wen Cong stood up and said, "Brother Dog, we don't necessarily have to blow up this thing, there is a hole in the crooked neck tree on the side of the road, let's blow it up, even if it doesn't work, let's go fry the dog bowl, last time I passed by that yard, didn't the dog kill you?"
What is the tree hole in front of him, it really can't arouse the interest of the dog, but thinking of the last time he passed by the foreign devil's house next door, he deliberately released a wolf dog to scare him, which is really hateful, and he has long wanted to take revenge.
But looking back at this cow dung, steaming hot, it is really unbearable to give up.
"The dog is on a leash, and it can't run away, and when we're done, we'll let it lose its job, it's just this cow dung......" The dog's eyes lit up, and he squatted down to try his posture to see what posture he would run in to see what posture he would run in more handsome: "This is something we haven't seen so hot before, and it's all guessed to be mud."
Wen Cong was really a little speechless, seeing that the other party had already gone to the artillery battle, or even didn't get in at all, he couldn't pull it out and put it back in his pocket, it was too unusual.
Gradually stepping back, Wen Cong shouted, "Brother dog, you little snack, I'll run away first."
"Okay, don't go too far, or you won't see such a shocking scene." The dog's head was brought back, and he continued to squat and study.
After all, the movement here is a little big, Cheng Nuo is dumbfounded, and he can even imagine the appearance of splashing later, even if he is far away, he subconsciously turns sideways and covers his face with his arms.
Li Laosan's face next to him was terrifyingly dark, and he had already taken off his shoes again, ready to give his son a heart-wrenching understanding, but after seeing the muddy road, he silently put on his shoes and arched his hand to the gentleman next to him: "Sir, my son is too worry-free, wait for me for a while to see if his skin is itchy again!"
After saying this, he didn't give Cheng Nuo a chance to reply, and directly picked up the broom rod and walked in the direction of the dog.
walked to the side of the road and happened to bump into Wen Cong, who was about to stay away from cow dung, and when he saw Li Laosan's fierce appearance, his face suddenly twitched: "Uncle Li, Brother Dog, he is not ......."
Li Laosan had a cold face and pointed to the other side with a broom rod: "Stay away for a while, don't protect your dog brother anymore, or I'll clean you up later!"
Wen Cong didn't dare to speak, and ran to the side in small steps, but as a buddy, he really didn't want to see Goudan'er being beaten like this, so he shouted by his throat: "Brother Dog, you have a snack......
Before he could finish speaking, Li Laosan in front of him immediately turned around and glared at Wen Cong to warn him not to continue.
Helpless, Wen Cong had no choice but to shut up.
The fat dog thought that his little brother was in a hurry, so he squatted down and replied, "Don't worry, I thought that one cannon was not enough, so I just inserted a few more to connect their cannon twists, and I will put a big one for you later!"
The more he listened, the darker Li Laosan's face became, and finally his face was about to drip water, and his steps kept getting bigger
。
In the eyes of the outside world, the dog squatting on the ground seemed to have telepathy at the last moment, suddenly got up from the ground and ran straight back.
It's a pity that the direction of running is not quite right, and it just happened to fall into Li Laosan's arms.
"Daddy!?" The dog's face was full of shock.
"Rabbit cub, the reaction is quite fast, now you know that you can stand up? It's late! I don't want to teach you a good lesson!" Li Laosan was furious, and he raised the broom pole and was about to swing it down.
"No, Dad, listen to me, now you have to run!" Dogan immediately explained.
"Explain a fart, what's the explanation, the cannon is all plugged in, and now I've been caught, see where else you can run, it's useless for your mother to come over and plead today, I have to beat your ass to pieces!" Li Laosan was unceremonious.
Just when the broom rod was about to swing down, due to the dislocation of the father and son, several continuous cannon sounds suddenly sounded in front of Li Laosan, and it was instantly dark in front of him, and countless bursting cow dung rushed to his face, giving Li Laosan a good time.
At first, Li Laosan was still a little puzzled, and when he touched it from his face, after confirming the real thing, the whole person was about to explode, and directly held the broom rod with both hands and knocked it on his knees, and immediately divided into two parts, holding the bare wooden stick, and he was going to talk to his son about the depth of father's love.
It's a pity that Goudan already knew that the situation was wrong, and the moment the cannon fire went off, it began to boil, and now he distanced himself from his father.
Where was Li Laosan willing to admit defeat like this, and quickly chased after his son.
"Little rabbit cub is really good, I know that I fried cow dung here in your Lao Tzu, and now it's like this, what else do you dare not do in the future?"
"What's the matter, I just reminded you to run away, but you just didn't listen, and now you blame me!"
"Fuck off, if you don't blow it up in the first place, how can there be so much to do?"
"If you weren't in my way, you wouldn't have so many things......
In this way, surrounded by a pile of cow dung, the courtyard staged a delicious "blood" eucalyptus.
However, Cheng Nuo did not follow later, but quietly prepared some gifts for those old friends he had just met after returning to Beijing, and there were small traders who were enthusiastic about selling him authentic bean juice, and he would continue to invite them to taste when they met.
This time, Cheng Nuo sternly refused, this thing can't adapt to it anyway, and the more authentic it is, the more unbearable it feels.
After a few words of greeting, I came to the old doctor's house who had treated Wen Cong and Wenhui brothers and sisters before, although this meeting was not blocked, but the old gentleman's face looked quite bad.
After a brief chat about the country, the old gentleman said with a heavy heart: "Professor Cheng, I don't know what you think of the current Chinese and Western medicine?"
"Views?" Cheng Nuo was stunned, and then said: "I can't talk about unique opinions, but I think Western medicine has the most Western classical science, which emphasizes the spirit of concreteness and empirical evidence, and Chinese medicine has the charm of traditional Chinese culture, which emphasizes the whole and stresses connection.
The old gentleman's face softened slightly, and he shook his head and said, "It would be a great blessing if everyone in society was as enlightened as Professor Cheng now."
Cheng Nuo frowned and said, "Where did the old gentleman come from?"
The old gentleman did not answer in a hurry, but got up and took out a calligraphy and painting from the shelf, took it and put it on the table: "You might as well open it and take a look."
Although Cheng Nuo was puzzled, he slowly opened it, and after the content on it was displayed, he finally understood where the old man's negative emotions came from, and saw a couplet written on it:
[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading
Medical.
Receiving such a calligraphy and painting for no reason, it is no wonder that the old gentleman can't stand it.
Medicine is not only an applied skill related to the national economy and people's livelihood, but also closely related to social life and historical development, including the connotation of deep culture such as ways of thinking and values.
In the context of the current social, cultural, ideological and other major changes, the Chinese and Western medical circles have begun to open newspapers and run publications in order to compete for academic strengths, refute each other, and even make insulting remarks.
Even in order to draw a clear line with the old era, the Beiyang government directly abolished traditional Chinese medicine in the new academic system.
In "Ren Zi Gui Chou School System", it is stated that "but now that the world is in harmony and science is becoming more and more refined, all teaching specialized sciences must be balanced by the latest theories."
It means that everyone is studying modern sciences such as anatomy, pathology, and bacteriology, and Chinese medicine is still spinning around the theory of yin and yang and the theory of the five elements, which is really out of place.
No, Cheng Nuo doesn't want to join these scolding wars, and although his medical school has a lot of Western medicine, it also has Chinese medicine, and whichever is easy to use can be used.
Especially now, he is counting on the old gentleman to come forward and join the medical brigade that regulates Planck's daughter.
This couplet gave Cheng Nuo a good entry point.
