Your old brother, like you, is leading the villagers to throw off their arms and fight.

The ice surface near Wangjiagou is in full swing right now, like a mouse hole.

Mrs. Xu saw Wang Yusheng pushing the door out, and hurriedly beckoned Wang Yusheng to come over and unload the car.

Wang Yusheng turned his head and shouted into his house, and two sleepy-eyed men ran out of Wang's restaurant.

Lao Lei guessed at a glance that Erdaohe had entertained the caravan last night, and the men who stayed in the house were making up for sleep. Hurriedly waved his hand to stop him:

"We can unload it on our own, we really don't need you."

Wang Yusheng grabbed Lei Lizheng's arm and let the leader leave, your beard is covered with frost: "Come into the house and warm up, you don't know where to put the fruit, the cow will feed you later." ”

Mrs. Xu looked at the ten young men walking with baskets on their backs, their noses and faces were swollen from the cold, and Zhang Luo said, "Xiaoyun, cook the noodles." ”

Xiao Yun, the daughter-in-law who was full of tables, hurriedly burned wood and started a fire to press the noodles.

Lei Li waved his hand awkwardly: "Big sister, don't be busy, let's bring dry food, really, not hungry at all." Just find a place for my kids to have a fire. The main thing is that the shoes are frozen and hard. ”

Walking on a snowy road, the snow melts and the shoes will freeze hard when they get wet.

Mrs. Xu followed Lei Li as she said, looking at the boys' cotton shoes, some people are still wearing cotton shoes on their toes.

While pushing everyone to take off their shoes and warm their feet, he asked Lao Lei: "Just came all the way with the goods?" ”

"How can that? Originally, I thought about going out of the village and met a passing car, so I asked these boys to take a ride. As a result, the town pavilion sent officials to press our notice to open a pavilion meeting, and they happened to go to the top to meet. They had donkey carts, and that's it, helping us pull people and goods all the way to town. It's just this part of the way that comes here. ”

Mrs. Xu suddenly realized that Dashan would indeed hold a meeting tomorrow to announce that she could go to the Ownerless River and the Ownerless River to fish.

But the road from the town to the Erdao River, the ice and snow are enough to suffer.

In particular, each one still carries 180 pounds of frozen fruit.

Mrs. Xu couldn't push the young man in front of her, and found that it was blocked.

The young man in front was embarrassed to take off his shoes when he saw the kang, and he was even more embarrassed to speak.

There were several people lying in the room making up for sleep, all of them working on the other side of the bathhouse.

Mrs. Xu whispered: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of smell, these people in the house have even more smelly feet." You see, there's still a hole in the sock. The people in our village have long been accustomed to it, and they don't pay attention to it, so they come into the house quickly. ”

After a while, Mrs. Xu and Xiao Yun served bowls of hot noodles to everyone.

The twelve men of Leijiagou knelt down in front of the kang table, tried their best to hide their feet and press them under their buttocks, and looked at the noodles they had never eaten in front of them even more restrained.

Because some of them don't have socks at all.

Directly step on indigo grass and cotton shoes.

It's not that big. There are a few people who don't have cloth to make socks, and they directly wrap their feet with animal skin and hemp rope to keep warm, and then walk all the way, the smell is ......

Mrs. Xu pretended not to smell it, and urged: "Eat it while it's hot, it's not enough to have it in the pot." ”

"Hello, thank you, auntie."

"Thank you, auntie."

This bowl of noodles is really fragrant, Lao Lei sighed while eating, no wonder he can make money.

A bowl the size of a gourd scoop for each person, filled with noodles.

Xujia Dumpling Noodles are made with elm bark noodles, sorghum noodles, buckwheat noodles, and white noodles for good taste.

If you mix noodles with cold water all year round, it will be very chewy.

The hot soup is pork bone broth.

Every day, the Xu family will use the pork bone sticks left over from the shaved meat to boil four large pots of soup, and if there are guests who come to eat noodles, they will take them out, and no one will drink the soup with cakes by themselves, which is not wasted.

There are many people working in the shop, and everyone stays up late as a welfare.

Sometimes the children in the village also come to play, and Mrs. Xu will also scoop them up for these children to drink.

Therefore, the soup with a strong meat fragrance is poured on the noodles, and it is very satisfying to drink the hot bone broth with floating oil, not to mention that the noodles are also sprinkled with a spoonful of meat foam sauce for one person, chili oil, chopped peanuts, garlic and green onions, hot cabbage leaves, and the braised large intestine that Mrs. Xu cut for this group of people alone, and put three pieces in a bowl for one person.

After scooping up the noodles, a young man took out a cold big cake from his arms, and while Mrs. Xu and Xiao Yun were not in the house, he broke the cake into pieces and threw it into the noodle soup to eat.

How embarrassed to let people cook noodles again, this is enough to think about it for a while, and it is so good to eat.

There is also a kid who is busy giving the marinated large intestine in his bowl to Lei Lizheng, and he feels sorry for Uncle Lizheng: "You quickly use the bowl to take it, so that people can see how bad it is, as if it is not enough to eat." I don't like to eat this, just taste one piece. ”

"You kid is almost, don't eat anything, eat it yourself, what are you doing." Rairi said as he took a bite of garlic.

In the outhouse, Mrs. Xu and Xiao Yun were cleaning up the forest frogs and loaches sent by Leijiazhuang.

It was so cold that it banged its heads with two forest frogs.

This is a good thing, snow clams, forest frog oil can replenish people, and make up for granddaughters.

Mrs. Xu didn't dare to sell it live, and it is illegal to catch wild forest frogs in modern times.

And now is not a good time to catch forest frogs, you need to dig ice and go to the mountains to find river bubbles, people forest frogs hibernating.

It can be seen that it is not easy for the villagers of Leijiawo to catch this little thing, and they gave her two sacks for nothing, she just glanced at it, Liu Laozhu also has a share, Liu Laozhu is a bag. I guess I brought them all this bit.

Mrs. Xu poured out the basket of loaches again, and a large basket full of frozen loaches was rising.

Each loach is thicker than her middle finger.

The third child of her family slapped the palm of his hand, which was called stretching out a hand that could be as big as Tian Xin's two faces.

It's a great gift.

In fact, we didn't do anything, that is, when we just came back from Fucheng, Lei Li was asking Liu Laozhu what their village could do, and her family Tian Xin asked next to him at the time: "What are the characteristics of your village?" ”

Liu Laozhu answered:

"Leijiawo has three characteristics.

Particularly poor.

Of the seventy-five households, there are only three households with chickens.

Exceptionally cold. We're still picking up potatoes, they're going to burn the kang in the morning and evening, and it's freezing hard at night just after washing clothes and drying them outside overnight.

It's also particularly barren. Guarding the endless mountain, listening to the chaotic animal calls, the sky is dark like a chaotic dead post. ”

Then her family Tianxin told her to freeze some fruits, take advantage of the colder than other places, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, save some fruits in the cellar to freeze, and keep them for sale in winter.

Her own granddaughter, Mrs. Xu knows best, her granddaughter is afraid that there will be no fruit to eat in winter.

Unexpectedly, this sentence saved Lei Lizheng. Because this trick is most suitable for the Lei family nest who has no capital.

I heard that after Lao Lei returned from Erdao River overnight, he led the villagers to save their lives.

Taking advantage of the time in October, I went deep into the mountains, and there were many mountain cloves, prickly roses, wild peaches, and mountain grapes that had been beaten by frost. and wildflower red, that is, begonia fruit, and the late harvest of wild autumn pears are harvested.

Wild autumn pears are covered with flowers, and only locally available, so they become frozen pears, and there are also mountain cloves and sweet and sour red fruits.

Therefore, after the shop is opened, they will earn the difference in price to help sell, and the sale is not expensive, and the return caravan will buy some special fruits to bring to their wives and children. If the family goes out to deliver goods, they will also push it to the town restaurant and the Xishan town restaurant.

Mrs. Xu thinks that we really don't look down on the Lei family's nest, guarding the dense mountains is money.

Mushrooms, wild fungus, hazelnuts, honey, reishi, everything.

More than half of the seventy-five families are old hunters. Because on the root of the Lei family's nest, it is the clan village where the old hunter and his descendants are stationed there, and slowly formed.

If it's done, people won't be able to give her animal skins and ginseng next year.

As for why Lei Jiawo was so poor before.

Isn't that a good official? For several years, they were not allowed to go up the mountain, and they were not allowed to cut firewood, and they were killed if they went up. Otherwise, the most deceitful person is the villain who has the right. The bigger the official, the more people can be harmed.

Mrs. Xu glanced at Xiao Yun, thinking that when she was serving noodles just now, she saw that several children in the Lei family's nest had chilblains on the back of their hands holding chopsticks, and the sores were no longer red and swollen, but black carbon like they had been burned by fire, and she couldn't bear to say: "You go and call the two boys to get up and boil water in a pool in the bathhouse." ”

"Whoa." Xiao Yun entered the house and didn't wake up until she said, "It's time to eat." ”

"Huh?" Immediately rubbed his eyes and got up several times.

Xiao Yun was a little amused and said: "Why are you trapped like this, don't you hear the guests in the house eating and talking?" Auntie asked you to boil a pool of water first, and then go back to sleep when you are done. ”

"Okay." The boys were still confused when they stood up.

Seeing this, Lao Lei hurriedly stopped and said, "No, don't be busy, we're leaving." ”

While hurriedly putting on his shoes, he continued to tell Mrs. Xu:

"This time the town administration office is different from before, and we are arranging a place to live in other places. Big sister, you're too polite, I'll live in the place they arranged, and then let the boys find a big car shop nearby to make up for a night and go back to the village. What kind of bath, it has to be sold for money, and it is not easy to fetch water in winter. ”

Mrs. Xu pushed Lao Lei back: "When you get here, it's impossible for you to live outside and have a big car shop?" Do you know that the big car shops in the town are raising prices? Spend that money on what to do. Just find someone to live in the village. And Liu Lizheng heard that you left without saying hello, and he will be angry with you. Tomorrow morning, you two will drive together to a meeting. I haven't given you the fruit yet, don't you want it? ”

Ah, forgot, Lao Lei thought to himself: I want money.

Lao Lei and the boys sat in the big pool strangely, looking at this and that, the boys didn't dare to use the soap when they smelled it, they just kept rubbing the black mud strips on their necks with their hands.

The boys also rushed to rub Lao Lei's back: "Uncle, when can there be such a big pool in our village, I want my master to bubble too." He's old and hasn't washed it in years. ”

Lao Lei said: "As long as we let us chop firewood and go up the mountain in the future, we will pick up the stones and build them next year." However, your grandfather really can't let him wash it too happily if he hasn't washed it for a few years, and it's easy to be uncomfortable with it. ”

When the Lei family's nest boys discussed that they could not eat noodles with meat for nothing, and that they would help the Xu family for a while, Mrs. Xu had already finished weighing the frozen fruits and was adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing to find out the money.

Frozen flower red and frozen mountain clove are collected for five wen a catty, and they are sold for ten wen in the shop.

These two items were sent 800 catties this time, totaling four taels of silver.

Frozen pears, frozen peach petals and frozen grapes are harvested for seven wen a catty, and they are sold for twelve wen in the shop. This is a thousand two hundred pounds, eight two four.

There is also a bag of sun-dried prickly rose fruit, this is not a pound harvest, but a sack and a half taels of silver, and it is soaked in water to drink with a fruity fragrance. Her granddaughter loved it.

Mrs. Xu made it up, and when Lao Lei dried his hair and came out, she pushed thirteen taels of silver to him: "You count." ”

The boys of Lei's nest came to Lao Lei's side and smiled: "I can buy five catties of coarse salted vegetables to eat when I go home, and my grandmother can also make sauce." ”

They came with a mission, and the old people were waiting to buy salt and go back.

The boys were excited again and saluted Mrs. Xu: "The last time I sent fruits, I asked each family in our village to buy a lot of food." Auntie, you don't know, everyone is happy. ”

Mrs. Xu looked sad, and really wanted to say that I would sell you some salt.

Alas, did not dare to say.

"Come on, come on, I see that you still bring a few pieces of skin, you don't need to go to the town to ask, I'll take you to find Lao Bai's family."

At the same time, in the town, Xu Youyin asked about the price of sugar, and he was quite sad: "How much?" One hundred and fifty pounds of frosting. ”

How do you think there are big people in Tuntang.

"Xu Shao, are you still short of this money? We've all heard that your family loves to make sour beets, and that's called a delicious. Hurry up and prepare before the year, don't delay making money, I heard that the price will increase after the year. I'm not human to lie, you can't cheat when you go out often, even Fucheng is almost at this price. ”

However, the grain shop Xu Lao Er's side is very smooth.

Still, there was a hiccup.

First of all, the grain shop has several long-term customers, two big car shops in the restaurant inn, and then the old Xu family in Erdaohe always buys grain.

Why don't you say that the Xu family has a weak foundation, other people's families have a stockpile of grain, and their families themselves don't have enough to eat, let alone do business, they all rely on buying.

Therefore, when a new batch of grain arrives on this side, the side will send letters to several major customers, and also directly tell the truth whether the price of rice is cheap or white flour is cheaper this time.

This is also the reason why the Xu family has all the dispatches, and today it is cheap to stick rice noodles.

As for the episode, before Xu Youcang entered the house, he saw the frozen persimmons bought by the owner of the grain store.

"What is this, is it for food?"

"Ling Shuanghou, frozen persimmon. We are really going to get up here, I heard that it is still a hawker from Fucheng, and he specially dragged three carts to us to sell. Our owner happened to know each other again, and said that we don't grow this here, so he bought a basket to take home for the children to eat, and put it at the door for fear of melting. ”

"Where's the vendor?" Xu Youcang thought to himself: He also wants to buy a few for Tian Xin to taste first, if his niece says it's delicious, he will go to Fucheng to buy some more.

"I guess I went to the river to sell it, there are a lot of people digging ice there."

"The third child, you ......" Xu Youliang didn't finish speaking, the third child, you go buy a few, and the third child will have no shadow.

But half an hour later, when Xu Youcang came back, his clothes were frozen, and he didn't know that he was wearing a paper shell, so he was so frightened that the fourth brother who came back after buying candy hugged his third brother: "What's wrong, ah?" Who splashed dirty water. ”

Xiao Er of the grain shop also hurriedly stabbed the stove hotter, and asked Xu Youcang to hurry up and roast the fire.

Nothing, I just saw someone fall into the ice hole, saved a person, and after saving it, I went to chase the vendor who had left the riverside to buy frozen persimmons.

Even Xu Tianxin, who was working in the governance office, heard that some people saw righteousness and courage today and did not leave a name, and I heard that after the rescue, they ran away like a gust of wind.

That night, Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Youcang who had returned and sighed: "Three, no, my mother took the time to go to Maoershan to find someone to break it for you, why would something happen as long as you were alone." ”

Xu Youcang distributed the ten frozen persimmons he bought as follows: his niece eats one, his mother and sister-in-law eat one, and the old lady and Zhao Di eat one. There are two big moons and big flying birds. A table full of old aunts' families is for their grandchildren to eat. also supported the tiger of Guan Er's bald family, Uncle Guan helped his grandmother and Zhao Di see a doctor, and he was the master of his niece, so it should be so.

Nope.

Xu Youcang felt more and more that Uncle Li Zheng's words were right, it is not easy for your mother to raise a large group of children like you, good guy, you have to cook a big pot and not enough to eat.

Two days later, Xu Youcang, Xu Youyin and Yu Dali, this time they also brought a Dapeng and Huzi, and the five of them got up early to have a full meal and prepared to leave for Fucheng to deliver.

Before leaving, he gave his mother a free meal without knowing it.

This is called pre-sale.

Slimy porridge with red beans, salted duck eggs flowed out of the holes, and Xu Youyin hurriedly shivered with the oil on his fingers.

There are also oil cakes, but it is still the same sentence, how much oil and how much bread it takes to make these half-sized children full. Mrs. Xu steamed a large pot of flowering pumpkin steamed buns, squeezed the meat sauce, and finally was willing to bring out the pickled cucumber pickles, fry a large pot of shredded potatoes, and roll shredded potatoes with oil cakes.

The sound of eating porridge all over the house, the one that everyone buried in eating was called a fragrant, and Xu Tianxin was not allowed to eat a mouthful of cakes and a mouthful of porridge.

Tian Xin looked straight at the camera.
