Sunday, February 6, 19th of the lunar month.

The weather is cloudy, 5 to 11 degrees, with a north wind of 2 to 3 degrees.

When Chen Fan was still broadcasting, the members of Team 5 had already set off to catch up with the market.

Secretary Yang and the others were not righteous, and when Chen Fan came out of the broadcasting room, they were all gone, and only Luo Guitian, the custodian of the brigade, was still holding his position.

He wasn't waiting for Chen Fan on purpose, but he wanted to stay on duty. No matter how big the activity is, people must be kept on duty, which is the rule of the brigade headquarters.

Chen Fan took his things and ran home with a cigarette.

At this time, Jiang Lili had already prepared everything and was waiting for him to come back and set off.

Chen Fan handed her the kettle, "Help me fill it with water." ”

Then he asked, "Are all the people in the team gone?" ”

Jiang Lili shook her head blankly, "I haven't gone out, but at half past seven, I heard a lot of people talking in front of me, so I should have left." ”

There was a radio time at half past seven, so she remembered it well.

Chen Fan let out an "oh", "Okay, then I'll borrow a mule cart." ”

After saying that, he turned around and ran.

It's really a hell, last time Captain Yang said that he would lend him a car, and yesterday he also went to find Master Liu, who was in charge of the car, shouldn't he have run out without waiting for himself?

Ran all the way to the village, first went to Captain Yang's house to take a look, okay, there was a lock on the door, and it was estimated that a family of 7 had rushed to the market.

Other families are similar, even if there are those who have not gone, they are all old ladies and grandfathers, those young people, as well as children, and even the little north nose that can't move, are all gone, except to go to the market, there is no second possibility.

Thinking about what Captain Yang said that day, Chen Fan had a little numb scalp, Accountant Liu They seriously underestimated the enthusiasm of the common people to rush to the market, if this is the case in other places, the number of people who are rushing to the market today is probably far more than 20,000!

Running all the way to the livestock shed, Chen Fan saw it, and his heart was suddenly put back in his stomach.

The mules and horses and two large buffaloes were there, and the five carts were also in the tool room.

Chen Fan shouted loudly, "Master Liu, Master Liu? ”

The old man Liu shouted, "Come on." ”

As he spoke, he pushed the door and came out, followed by an old lady standing at the door and smiling at him.

Chen Fan guessed that it should be Old Man Liu's wife, so he smiled and nodded, which was regarded as a greeting.

Then he looked at Master Liu, and was about to speak, when he heard him say.

"Everyone else is going to the market, they just have a little thing, they can carry it themselves, and no one uses the board car, if you don't want to use the board car, I will go with them."

Chen Fan hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Liu, I'll invite you to eat soft-shelled turtle meat later." ”

Master Liu raised his head and laughed, "If you want to invite me to do something else, I don't want it yet, and if you invite me to eat soft-shelled turtle meat, then I'm not welcome, the soft-shelled turtle made by others is a little worse than the taste of Ling." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the tool room and pulled two carts out one after another, still muttering, "They don't need one cart, you need two by yourself, I want to see what you bring." ”

Chen Fan smiled, "You'll find out later." ”

Master Liu took the mule and the donkey out again, put the cart on the sheath, turned around and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go with you to have a look." ”

Then he drove the mule cart himself, let Chen Fan lead the donkey, and swayed out of the livestock shed.

Chen Fan dragged the reins and followed behind, and asked with a smile, "Master Liu, last time you said you were going to teach me to drive a car, did you still teach me?" ”

Master Liu sat on the car board, glanced back at him, and laughed, "Do you really want to learn to drive a big car?" Okay, if you want to learn, I'll teach you, depending on whether you have the talent. ”

After a pause, he continued, "This chariot, you can't drive blindly, he has a set of secrets, whipping, driving, and driving horses, all of which are very particular. If you don't know the secret, you either can't catch up, or you can't control the animals properly, and you will hurt yourself if you don't do it well.

If you want to learn to drive a car and be a handlebar, the first step is to learn to know the car cover, horse harness, but also to learn how to feed the horse, how to set the car, how to bundle the goods, this set of work seems simple, but it is very difficult to do, I followed the master to learn for 3 years before leaving the school,......"

Chen Fan followed behind him, listening carefully to his bragging, and he didn't say anything about how to drive a car and drive a horse.

But he is not in a hurry, from here to the 5th team of Ganjia Village, there is a lot of time on the road, and then we will talk slowly.

Moreover, listening to these things can also deepen the impression.

After a while, when he arrived at the Zhiqing Point and pulled the two sets of cars into the yard, Master Liu looked at the mountain of things next to Jiang Lili and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

He turned his head to look at Chen Fan, "Are you afraid you're going to move?" ”

6 beds of cotton wool, 4 barrels, 2 baskets, 1 wooden basin, that's all.

There is also a large iron pot and an "earthen stove" next to it?

Even if it's a move, there's no one with a stove?!

As for the large pile of things wrapped in cotton gauze, the edges and corners protruded, and I don't know what they were.

With so many things, it's no wonder to have two cars.

I'm afraid even two cars are a bit hanging.

Chen Fan said with a smile, "I killed 10 soft-shelled turtles yesterday, and when they are cooked, I want to try to sell them in the market." ”

"Selling soft-shelled turtle meat?"

Master Liu's eyes widened, "This thing can also be sold?" What if no one buys it? ”

Chen Fan was not surprised by his words, and laughed, "If no one buys it, I will invite you to eat meat and eat to your heart's content." ”

Master Liu was immediately happy when he heard this, "What you say, do I want you to sell well, or don't I want you to sell well?" ”

Laughing, the three of them moved things to the car board.

This time, Master Liu was the conductor and main force, Chen Fan was responsible for moving the heavier ones, and Jiang Lili was on the side.

Two baskets containing bacon and preserved fish were placed at the back of the car, a piece of homespun cloth was spread in front, and then 6 beds of cotton wool were moved up, which occupied a car.

The disposable earthen stove, about 50 centimeters in diameter, wrapped in yellow mud on the outside and actually bamboo on the inside, was also placed in the back of another car, and the large iron pot brought out of the pig house behind it rested on it, and then the cotton gauze bag was placed in the pot.

Four wooden barrels are placed in the middle of the board, and two of them are full of soft-shelled turtle meat, which is covered with homespun cloth to prevent dust from blowing in. The other two buckets are filled with "bamboo bowls".

Including the big bag in the pot, it is also a bamboo bowl.

A few days ago, Chen Fan pondered about how to solve the problem of tableware, and even had the idea of bringing the bowl of the educated youth over, but he was later denied by himself.

Although the bowls of this year are not much golden, the cheapest pottery bowls cost one or two cents, and the porcelain bowls are even more expensive.

After thinking about it, when Chen Fan saw the kerosene bamboo tube under the bed that had been soaked in alarm clock parts, he couldn't help but scold himself for being a pig's brain.

There is a small bamboo forest in the east of the village, and the thick bamboo is clearly the best bowl.

It just so happened that when he went out to teach and kill soft-shelled turtles before, the team recorded 50 points for Chen Fan, so he went to Captain Yang and bought 5 pieces of bamboo for 10 points.

Under Chen Fan's name in Liu's accounting book, it was reset to zero again.

Chen Fan dragged the bamboo back, and a long bamboo with 18 to 20 bamboo knots was sawn into 96 bowls, and more than 100 bamboo sticks were made from bamboo branches.

If the conditions are simple, don't ask for chopsticks, one person will eat with a bamboo stick.

……

Carrying everything into the car, the two pulled the car out of the yard, Jiang Lili locked the courtyard door, and walked in the direction of the commune together.
