Chapter 62 I want to exchange rice for roast chicken
"Okay, you boys don't talk nonsense, come over and help!" Jiang Qingshan moved the firewood from the firewood house to the yard.
When his sons heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward to carry firewood together, and then picked up some stones and piled them up by the firewood.
After the fire burned, they set up the big eagle on the fire.
"Chaozi, you and Sihaizi turn the chicken together, no, turn the eagle," Jiang Qingshan commanded, "turn in one direction, not too fast, and don't turn too slowly." ”
"Okay!" Wu Chaozi took one end of the wooden stick and rotated, "Anyway, this plucked eagle looks like a chicken, but it's a little bigger." ”
His father laughed, "Is this a little bigger?" Three or five pounds of chickens is considered to be very large, and this eagle is estimated to be about twenty pounds. ”
"It's huge! Look at the wings......"
Everyone couldn't help but walk by the fire and watch the roasted eagles.
Erhuazi seemed to think of something, turned his head and asked, "Brother, if this eagle really has twenty catties, how many catties do you think each of us can eat?" ”
"Average?" Da Dongzi thought for a while, "It's about two catties and four taels." ”
"How many pounds and four taels are you?" Erhuazi asked.
"Four, two, four, five, what's wrong?"
After Da Dongzi asked suspiciously, his second brother smiled and said, "Brother, I know that you are good at counting, you go and be a scorekeeper!" ”
As soon as he said this, the whole family looked in the direction of him and Da Dongzi, and Jiang Qingshan couldn't help but ask, "Erhuazi, what did you just say?" ”
"I recommend my eldest brother to be a scorekeeper, he used to study well, how fast did he just count? Being a scorekeeper is definitely suitable! ”
San Leizi listened to his second brother's words and sighed: "That's right! The eldest brother is suitable to be this scorekeeper, but the eldest brother is a graduate of the elementary school! ”
Da Dongzi smiled: "You think you can be a scorekeeper if you do good math?" ”
"Or else? If you don't choose those who are good at arithmetic, do you choose those illiterate people who can't do arithmetic? There are not many people in our village who have graduated from elementary school, most of them have only gone to junior primary school, and many people have not even graduated from junior primary school. ”
Shen Su'e nodded and said: "That's right, in terms of academic performance, your eldest brother is one of the best in our village, and his math in the entrance exam is a full score!" ”
After speaking, she sighed helplessly, "Hey! Our family doesn't know how to engage in relationships, otherwise let alone a scorekeeper, Dadongzi can be an accountant! ”
"Voting is based on relationships," Dadongzi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't have this idea, no one will definitely elect me." ”
For a while, except for Wu Chaozi, he didn't say anything, and his other brothers all supported their eldest brother to be a scorekeeper, "Anyway, as long as the eldest brother is willing to stand on the stage and read that speech, I will definitely vote for the eldest brother." ”
Sihaizi pushed his fifth brother, "Chaozi, can you say something?" ”
"What are you asking me to say?" Wu Chaozi snorted, and said while turning the roasted eagle, "I don't think he has the courage to stand on the platform." ”
"Chaozi, you've taken the bow, why are you still angry with your big brother?" Sihaizi said, "If the eldest brother can really be a scorekeeper, we don't have to worry about being deducted from the work, right?" Big brother is much fairer than Uncle Yong. ”
Wu Chaozi picked up the iron tongs and plucked the firewood, "I'm not angry, I just don't think he has the courage to come to power, and he is not very popular in the village, even if our whole family votes for him, there will be a total of ten votes, what's the use?" ”
As soon as his words fell, Xiao Lingbao on the side said softly: "Although I don't understand what a scorekeeper is, Lingbao feels that the big brother is very bold!" ”
"Lingbao, don't be deceived by him, if he is bold, why didn't he go up the mountain to find us that day? Aren't you afraid of being eaten by wolves? Wu Chaozi was angry, "Either he is a coward, or he is heartless and will not be saved!" ”
"I know it's too late to say anything," Dadongzi said, "but if you and Lingbao disappear again one night, I will definitely go into the mountains to find you as soon as possible, and besides, I won't drive you away for some sweet potatoes in the future." ”
Wu Chaozi sighed, "Who believes it?" ”
After speaking, he said again: "I don't rarely have your sweet potatoes now, you and your sister-in-law and tree roots and soil roots can eat that broken sweet potato slowly!" ”
His third brother patted him on the head, "Okay, don't make a fuss!" ”
"It's not for me to say, the fifth child is really a child," Jiang Qingshan said with a smile to his daughter-in-law, "But I still like his character, if there is anything unhappy in my heart, I will say it directly, and I will not hide it." ”
"His personality is too straight, and everything he thinks in his heart hangs on his face."
After Shen Su'e finished speaking, she asked her eldest son, "Dongzi, what do you think about yourself?" If you want to be the scorekeeper, your dad and I will talk to the neighbors and ask them to help you vote. ”
"No need to canvass for votes, I'm going to write a speech, talk about what I would do if I became a scorekeeper, and if others believe me, they will vote for me."
After listening to his eldest brother, Erhuazi smiled and said, "It means that you have already decided to run for this scorekeeper, right?" ”
"Well, let's try," Da Dongzi said, "for my own sake and for your sake, lest I choose a person like Uncle Da Yong in the future, who is always doing tricks and feet in the work division, thinking of ways to let our family send things and bully us." ”
When he said this, the eagle's skin had turned slightly yellow, and it emitted a tantalizing fragrance that made people can't help but inhale into the air.
"Oops, it's so fragrant! It smells like roast chicken! ”
Fugui shook his father's hand, "Daddy, times, eat roast chicken......"
"This is an eagle, not a chicken, and it hasn't been roasted yet, and it is estimated that it will take another half an hour to roast such a big one, and wait."
Lingbao saw that his father, mother, and brothers were swallowing saliva, and wanted to make the roasted eagle get better quickly, and used the aura to make the temperature in the eagle's body continue to rise.
After a while, the aroma of the barbecue became stronger.
The people who lived near Jiang's house began to inhale, "What does it smell like?" ”
"Is the Jiang family eating something good?" The Lin family wanted to ask their relatives to buy some rice, but now that it was just cooked, they felt that the rice had become unfragrant.
Hearing the big girl crying and wanting to eat meat, Liu Damei coaxed for a long time.
"What are the Jiang family eating?" Mrs. Lin asked, "Big girl, don't you have a good relationship with the second daughter-in-law of the Jiang family?" Did she tell you? ”
"Why would she tell me? They have long since separated, so what good things the Jiang family eats has nothing to do with her Huang Yuezhu. Liu Damei said.
"The family is divided, but that Erhuazi is Jiang Qingshan's son after all, and it is estimated that he can still eat some good things," Mrs. Lin said, taking a few more breaths, "I smell like roast chicken, did they go into the mountain and catch pheasants?" ”
Now even her son couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "Mother, why don't I take some rice and exchange it for chicken with them?" Do you think they will agree or not? ”
