Chapter Ninety-Seven: I Have a Friend......
Wang Lianshun assigned the task, Wang Manyin overfulfilled.
Shortly after leaving the commune of Shibijie, he appeared by the Dongla River. The figure disappeared in a flash, and when it reappeared, there was an extra wattle basket in his hand.
Hearing the sound of frogs on the shallow beach not far away, Wang Manyin immediately tiptoed over.
Soon, I saw a guy in green skin floating on the water, two bubbles on his cheeks inhaling and drumming, and he was constantly singing and sending courtship signals.
Before he could get closer, the guy noticed something unusual on the shore and quickly turned around and sank to the bottom.
This guy thought he would not be discovered if he sank to the bottom of the water, but in fact he was hiding his ears and stealing the bell. The coquettish green skin, which is particularly conspicuous under the water, has betrayed it deeply.
Wang Manyin immediately dragged the thorn basket with both hands, and suddenly fell rapidly, splashing all the frogs with water onto the shore. Following him, he grabbed a slippery object in his hand and threw it into the space.
Frogs, like fish, prefer to stay in clear, shallow waters.
He searched the shallow puddle and caught two more, and accidentally found a large clump of frog eggs.
This thing feels a bit like jelly glue, with a transparent mass and black dots the size of sesame seeds wrapped in the center.
Wang Manyin was very happy to see this, and immediately disappeared with his hands in his hands.
When he reappeared, he had already come to the edge of the pond.
Fearing that the frog eggs would be eaten by other fish as food, he did not dare to put them directly into the pond, but deliberately intercepted a section of the canal and placed it in it temporarily.
There are at least a few hundred frog eggs in this cluster, and it is estimated that in more than a month, there will be a lot of frogs in the space, and it may even be flooded.
But for Wang Manyin, it is not a difficult matter.
Frogs are much easier to catch than locusts, and they can be secretly released into the Dongla River and add some meat to the villagers of Jar Village.
In those days, there were no animal protection laws, and everything that could be eaten in heaven and on earth was the recipe of the farmers. is the rural children of the post-80s and 90s, how many of them have never eaten frogs?
So for doing these things, Wang Manyin does not have any burden.
With three frogs at the bottom, he calmed down, washed his hands and turned back to the dirt road.
Wang Manyin was holding three catties of pork in his left hand and a large intestine in his right hand.
"Full of silver...... You kid, you can do it in the pig's intestine!" When he saw what Wang Manyin was carrying in his hand, even Wang Changshou was amazed, "This hanging large intestine can refine at least three catties of lard, now it's good, there will be no shortage of oil in stir-frying in the future."
After several other mothers-in-law and aunts who helped saw it, they also praised it without mouth.
In their eyes, this is a sign of ability. In other words, there is no mother-in-law and aunt in the village who do not envy orchids. After getting married, you don't have to go to work, and you can enjoy happiness at home. Guarding a consignment point, you can eat whatever you want.
With their vision and insight, they feel that this is the most comfortable profession.
"Uncle Shouchang, the large intestine is not clean, you have to pick it up again." When Wang Manyin handed over the things in his hand, he deliberately explained.
The large intestines of pigs sold at the food station are only hastily cleaned, and they still have a rich smell on them. ….
He was really afraid that the other party would make a big pot of rice so-so, and be blind for such a good thing. If it is not handled well, it will cause bitterness in the mouth after eating.
Don't ask Wang Manyin why he knows, just ask, "I have a friend......
"Don't worry, I've been cooking for decades, so how can I smash my own signboard. Wash it up now, and try to get the laborers to add a dish at noon. Don't go to the construction site, help me light the fire......
Wang Shouchang commanded again.
He didn't feel dirty, so he poured a basin of water, squatted down and began to wash the large intestine. After cleaning twice in succession, changing the water again, and rubbing repeatedly with salt, the large intestine did not stop until the large intestine turned from gray-green to white.
Seeing that people are so professional, Wang Manyin is relieved.
According to Wang Shouchang, this thing must be handled just right, it really has no taste at all and it is not delicious, and the taste is equally unpalatable
。
Wait for the large intestine to be processed, pour dry water, and then cut it into sections and pour it into a pot to refine oil.
Soon, a unique smell of meat permeated the compound.
In order to prevent the fishy smell from being too strong, Wang Shouchang also threw a few slices of ginger and green onion white in the pot.
When the meal was ready, Wang Manyin didn't go to the construction site to join in the fun, and directly brought a bowl of fried potatoes with pig intestines, planning to go home and eat with orchids.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw Wang Qiusheng's three children playing in the deep ditch.
"Uncle Man Yin, what are you serving?" Xiao Nizi's dirty face was full of anticipation and excitement, and she hurriedly ran over and asked.
The stone and the hairy egg also ran closer, but they didn't say anything.
A few broken babies, with a very pointed nose.
"Good thing, come to my house......
Wang Manyin was going to send them some later, but since he had met him, it would be easier to call him home to eat.
Mao Dan was bigger, and hurriedly stopped his younger brothers and sisters and said, "Uncle Man Yin, my dad won't let us go to your house to eat......
"Do you want to go?" Wang Manyin asked with a smile.
"Yes," the three little ones replied in unison.
"What are you talking about, let's go quickly, just don't tell your dad when you go back," Wang Manyin patted Maodan's head, sighed in his heart, and led them to the house.
Even if there is space, there is not much that can be done by yourself in the face of the general trend. It's just that within the scope of his ability, let a few broken babies eat a few more bites. Just give a few candies and add some nutrients.
What can really make all the people in the jar village eat a few more mouthfuls of food is the silt dam fish farming. This is also the reason why Wang Manyin is willing to make up his mind.
Unconsciously, he has integrated into the entire collective of Jar Village.
In fact, there is not much meat in a bowl of fried potatoes with large intestines, Wang Manyin and Orchid only sandwiched two pieces to taste, and the rest went into the mouths of the three broken babies.
Together, one person gnawed on a black nest again.
By the time Wang Qiusheng's mother-in-law and aunt cooked and called people, they were already full.
Sending the three broken babies away, the two were eating, and soon heard the shouts of Wang Qiusheng's mother-in-law Xie Dongmei.
"Sister-in-law Dongmei, what's the matter?" Orchid hurriedly greeted him with a bowl.
"Orchids, hairy eggs, they're too mouthy! and trouble you. I have explained to Qiusheng many times, but I don't listen to anything. There is nothing good at home, but the chickens laid a few eggs a few days ago." Xie Dongmei was a little embarrassed to speak. ….
It's not a family, it's not a door. She and Wang Qiusheng are both honest people, and they are not willing to take advantage of others at all. Today, I heard that the three children went to Wang Manyin's house for dinner, Xie Dongmei couldn't sit still anymore, and wrapped more than a dozen eggs with a hand towel and sent them to the door.
"It's okay, sister-in-law Dongmei, we're neighbors...... I also heard from Man Yin that you used to help him a lot. Eggs are still the old price, 3 cents a piece, how many do you have?" Orchid reached out and took the handkerchief, ready to put it on the ground to count.
Seeing that the other party misunderstood, Xie Dongmei hurriedly shook her head: "It's not an orchid, I don't sell eggs, I'm giving them to you."
"Send?" Orchid was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Sister-in-law Dongmei, I can't ask for this, what do you think of us!" Full of silver ......"
Hearing the shouting, Wang Manyin also went out with his rice bowl.
When he understood what was going on, he reluctantly said, "Sister-in-law, it's just a few mouthfuls of pig intestines, as for it? We can't eat it for the two of us, let them look at it dumbfounded. Besides, you've helped me a lot before......
Wang Manyin said that he finally let the other party carry the eggs home.
After eating *** and resting at home for a while, he rushed to the construction site again.
Although Wang Lianshun said that he would be counted as a day's work, Wang Manyin didn't plan to really rest. In fact, working on the construction site and talking and laughing with people is not tiring.
Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that nutrition keeps up.
By the time he arrived at the East Mountain, the laborers had just put down their bowls.
Wang Manyin found Wang Lianshun, reported the account of buying meat, and handed over the rest of the money by the way.
"Man Yin, I heard what Shou Chang said, you
It's a great favor for our second team." Wang Lianshun praised a few words.
After everyone finished resting, Wang Manyin continued to follow the blasting team to pull stones.
When encountering a large boulder, it is necessary to re-use an iron drill to wedge it into the stone to break the stone. After a delay and a few hours, it took a few people to pull the stones on both sides and return to the construction site.
In the distance, I saw that the newly built earthen dam was empty, but they were all gathered at the bottom of the cliff, talking about something.
"It's broken, nothing will happen, right?" Wang Junxiang opened his mouth nervously.
"Let's go over and have a look." Wang Yanqiang's face was also serious. Working on a construction site, with a large number of people, all kinds of accidents can happen.
Generally, it's okay to say that it's okay to be accidental, but I'm afraid of hurting people.
Several people threw down the donkey cart and ran down the cliff.
Wang Manyin was the fastest, and rushed to the front of an aunt and asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"
"There are so many bones that have been dug out of the mass grave at the construction site...... It's scary."
What? Mass grave?!
Hearing that no one was injured, Wang Manyin breathed a sigh of relief and followed into the crowd.
I saw that in the pit in front of me, large areas of decaying white bones were exposed, and they were stacked together.
At the front of the crowd, there were a lot of freshly dug things on the ground. There were rusty arrowheads, weapons, armor, and a few patina coins.
Liu Xiangyang and a few educated youths were squatting on the ground at the moment to carefully identify them.
"What's the matter, do you see what's famous?" Wang Manyin asked out loud.
"Qingli Tongbao, Yuanfeng Tongbao, this should be Shaosheng Tongbao......" Liu Xiangyang replied by pulling the coin in his hand.
Then, he asked again, "Brother Wang, do you know what time these copper coins are......
"Qingli is the name of Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, you should know this. The first sentence in the great writer Fan Zhongyan's "The Story of Yueyang Tower" is: 'In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing guarded Baling County......."
In later generations, Wang Manyin was obsessed with collecting for a while, and bought a lot of books for this purpose, so he was more clear about the era names of the previous dynasties, and almost blurted out.
Liu Xiangyang responded embarrassedly: "We didn't study hard in the past few years, and we forgot all the textbooks......
But as soon as he said it, the educated youths recalled. There is indeed such an ancient text in middle school textbooks, and it requires proficiency in memorization.
