slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 208 Good luck

For two consecutive days, the villagers enthusiastically devoted themselves to the great cause of transporting watermelons and transported all the watermelons back to the village.Matsuda Akio just arranged for someone to come over to weigh the watermelon and transport it to the town. The folks naturally took on another job. Cang Hai is naturally not interested in such a thing as transporting and earning dozens of dollars per trip. Yes, squatting in the village every day watching people being weighed, waiting for the watermelon to be transported away, and then completely relaxed.

"We ordinary people, we are so happy today... We ordinary people, we are so happy today..." Cang Hai hummed a little song with a smile, reached out and lifted the lid of the pot, waited for a burst of heat to dissipate, picked up The chopsticks picked up a edamame and put it in his mouth. With a light pull, the edamame came out of the shell, and the edamame with a strong five-flavored flavor scattered in his mouth with a light chew.

Fresh edamame just picked from the ground, served with a few star anise peppers, just water and salt is a delicious appetizer.

"Delicious! Ready to put on a plate." Cang Hai put the lid of the pot on the side of the chimney, waved his hand to Ling Kong, felt that the plate was touched by his hand, and filled the boiled edamame out of the pot with a smile.

After finishing the edamame, Cang Hai turned around and found that it was Shi Wei who handed him the plate, so he asked, "Where is Ping An, who is almost eating?"

Shi Wei smiled and said: "He Shijie and Yan Li took Iron Head and Tiger Head to catch bugs."

"Catch bugs?" Cang Hai laughed twice after hearing this: "Can they tell the male and female?"

Cang Hai believed that Shi Jie couldn't recognize the male and female crickets. This kid was completely a nobleman, he couldn't lift his shoulders, he couldn't even tell the difference between leeks and wheat, so he was expected to distinguish the male and female crickets. Mother, no matter how you look at it, you don't think it's reliable.

This boy Ping An grew up in the village, but he is good at farm work, but with crickets?Cang Hai felt that the iron head was better than him.

Shi Wei looked at the dishes on the table, and said to Cang Hai: "Enough, five or six dishes, we don't have many people here today."

Cang Hai glanced at the dishes on the table: "The eggplants should be burnt, anyway, they are all picked, if you can't eat them, you can pass them to the pigs."

Shi Wei said: "That's fine, you burn it."

Lu Shu is standing next to Cang Hai now. It's not that she doesn't want to help, but every time Lu Shu is about to help, she tends to help more and more. Now she can only stay away from the stove and look at Cang Hai and Shi Wei. Cooperating tacitly in the kitchen, they are working like two precisely coordinated gears.

At this time, Lu Shu felt that she was completely redundant in the kitchen.

While Lu Shu was thinking wildly, Shi Wei had already picked up the washed eggplant with a knife in one hand and put it on the cutting board, and began to cut it rhythmically.

"Is such a big piece okay?" Shi Wei asked Cang Hai after cutting a few pieces.

Cang Hai took a look and nodded, and gave Shi Wei a thumbs up: "It's great!"

After speaking, Cang Hai went to the stove door to add some firewood to the stove. When he returned to the pot, he reached out to test the temperature in the pot. He felt that it was almost hot enough, so he picked up the oil pot and poured oil into the pot.

"Your brother will go back tomorrow morning, is everything ready?" Cang Hai held a frying spoon in one hand, scooped up the oil in the pot and poured it around the edge of the pot from time to time, the movements were very skillful, and the posture was like a Like a chef.

Shi Wei said casually: "He has something to pack. When he came, there were two people. When he went back, there were so many things. You said it's not good to bring something, but you have to bring some lobster."

"Let them bring it if you like it, anyway, we have a lot of lobsters here!" Speaking of this, Cang Hai turned to Lu Shu and said, "Lu Shu, when you go back, bring some lobsters too."

Lu Shu said: "How can I take it with me? I'm going back by high-speed rail instead of driving. I won't bring live lobsters with me. You can cook some before leaving. I'll just eat and eat in the car to pass the time." .

Cang Hai thought for a while and said: "It's up to you, I have to go to Shanghai next month, and then I will bring some lobsters and crabs, not only for you but also for the teacher and godmother's house to taste... ...".

Lu Shu said: "You are so kind to your teacher and godmother. Now I guess there are few people who are better than you."

"I used to be taken care of by them a lot, so this is nothing. Junior sister is still young mentally, don't look at her twenties, her mind is full of fun, as for Qi Yue, she is more of a young lady's temper, take care of her." I have difficulties myself, and I live heartlessly all day long. How can I think of others!"

After Cang Hai finished speaking, he picked up the cutting board directly, and swept the eggplants on the cutting board into the pan with his head facing the oil pan, and quickly stir-fried them. After a while, the smell of eggplants diffused into the air of the kitchen.

While he was busy with work, Xu Sheng's voice sounded from outside: "Hey, the craftsmanship is good, it smells delicious!"

The three people in the kitchen turned their heads and found Xu Sheng and Qu Guowei, two old men walking in side by side, Xu Sheng was still holding a clay pot in his hand.As long as one looks at this thing, no one in the village knows what this jar is for, needless to say, it must be for bugs, and looking at the appearance of the two old men, the bugs in the jar are obviously very satisfying to them.

"Did you catch a good bug?" Shi Wei asked with a smile.

"Let me tell you, Master, don't be ignorant like this kid. You should use it here. We got a good bug this morning." Xu Sheng lifted the lid of the clay pot in his hand as if showing off, and sent it to the Shi Wei turned around in front of her, and then handed it to Lu Shu.

Cang Hai asked strangely: "I said Uncle Xu, why didn't you turn to me after turning around?"

"You kid is standing in front of the oil splashing pot, what if you hurt my worms?" Xu Sheng continued to hold the clay pot and let Lu Shu see the new worms in his pot.

For the two old men, Lu Shu is the kindred spirit, and Shi Wei is just a spectator. As for Cang Hai, who is defined by the two old men as a negative example of ignorance and lack of love for traditional culture, like Such a good worm naturally wouldn't show Cang Hai.

"Extreme crab shell green, there is nothing to choose in terms of size or teeth." Lu Shu observed for a while, then said to Xu Sheng.

Lu Shu's words seemed to have scratched Xu Sheng's itch. The old man's eyes almost disappeared when he smiled, and the few sparse hairs on the top of his head suddenly seemed energetic.

Xu Sheng said: "You can see that it's not bad, but you didn't notice the back!...".

The old man was about to continue showing off to Lu Shu when he suddenly heard footsteps outside.

"We're back, sister, I've had a good harvest today! There's a worm that's really big..." Shi Jie ran into the kitchen with Xiao Pao.

As soon as he entered the kitchen and saw Xu Sheng and Qu Guowei were there, Shi Jie immediately lifted up a dozen small bamboo cages in his left hand, and said to the two experts who played with insects: "It happens that both of you are here, help me take a look." Look at these bugs!"

Li Licheng helped weave these small cages. Seeing that Shi Jie had nothing to do to catch insects, he casually twisted a dozen small cages for him. Although Li Licheng made them by hand, they are also very exquisite. Li Licheng's extraordinary craftsmanship can be seen in the way of editing.

Looking at the string of cages in Shi Jie's hands, Qu Guowei and Xu Sheng didn't know what to say, but it was not good for the two old men to reject Shi Jie like this, and the two old men were a little bit good at being a teacher. Thinking about cultivating more insect friends can also spread traditional culture.

With such thoughts in mind, the two old men carefully handed the clay pots to Lu Shu's hands, and took over a string of small cages from Shi Jie's hands.

"The cage is not bad. When Brother Li finishes his work, I will ask him to help weave a few grasshopper cages. This skill can be sold even in the capital..." Xu Sheng praised him for not doing anything. Get out of the cage.

Needless to say, Li Licheng's craftsmanship is needless to say. For Xu Sheng, who loves to play and pays attention to playing, not only the bugs to play with must be good, but also the ones he uses must be exquisite. In the eyes of old capital people like Xu Sheng, this is not called playing at all, if you can't play with taste, you are just messing around!
"This won't work, it's not a cricket, it's a grasshopper!"

Seeing the big worm in the first cage, Qu Guowei put it aside casually.

Xu Sheng also nodded: "This is a cricket, but it's a female. Look carefully, it doesn't have two huge teeth...".

Cang Hai immediately became happy when he heard it.

Just when Cang Hai wanted to make fun of Shi Jie and these boys, Qu Guowei suddenly let out a sound of "huh".

"Old Xu, take a look at this one, it's not bad!" Qu Guowei picked up the cage in his hand and said to Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng took it, put the cage in front of his eyes, looked left and right, nodded and said: "It's really good, the quality is above average, it's a good bug!"

"Hey, this one is also good, slightly better than the one just now." Qu Guowei found a second good worm.

"This one is good!" Xu Sheng raised his voice suddenly.

The old man's voice startled everyone in the kitchen, causing Cang Hai to almost throw the frying spoon in his hand, and what was even more exaggerated was Tie Tou, who shook his hands and threw a pear in his hand to the ground , and then Tie Tou looked at Xu Sheng with a look of mental illness, then silently put the newly picked pear in his mouth, and went to the kiln in a hurry.It was obvious that Tietou didn't want to stay with this mentally ill old man anymore.

"I said you can't do it!" Cang Hai was dumbfounded by the old man.Heart said: No matter how good you are, don't come here suddenly. It doesn't matter if we are young, so don't get yourself excited.

"What a bug!" Qu Guowei looked at the small bamboo cage in Xu Sheng's hand.

The two of them ignored Cang Hai at all, staring intently like a pair of perverts staring at a peerless beauty, those two pairs of old eyes made Cang Hai feel a little fuzzy.

As soon as Shi Jie heard about the good worm, he immediately asked happily: "Is it really a good worm? How much can this one be sold for?"

Shi Jie's words immediately caught the two old men by surprise.

"Sell for money?"

Shi Jie was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and opened his mouth when he came back to his senses, and said, "Why would I catch it if I don't sell it for money? Oh, what would I do with it!"

"If you sell me, I will give you 2 yuan. Although it is not as good as the price offered by the capital, you must know that the price in the capital and here cannot be the same, and you have to find someone like this before you can sell it. ..." Xu Sheng hugged the cage with both hands, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it from him.

As soon as Shi Jie heard about [-] yuan, before the old man finished speaking, he nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, okay!"

Caught a small bug and sold it for [-] yuan, Shi Jie seemed to be full of strength all of a sudden, wishing he could go out against the scorching sun and catch ten or eight of them.

As soon as Xu Sheng heard that his offer was accepted, he immediately turned around and ran in the small cage. He didn't know how an old man could be so fast. Cang Hai only felt a shadow floating in the corner of his eye, and the old man disappeared instantly.

Cang Hai felt his eyes go dizzy as lightning came and went, and Xu Sheng stood back in front of Shi Jie, holding two stacks of banknotes and stuffing them into Shi Jie's hands.

"You two have led so many people to search for several days, how can you not compare to a rookie who searched for an hour?" Cang Hai felt that he had to laugh at the two old men.

"What do you know, just cook your food honestly, such bugs are hard to come by!" Xu Sheng held the cage like a baby, and said to Shi Jie, "Hurry up, the number is right!" wrong!"

"No need!" Saying that, Shi Jie turned around and put the money into Yan Li's hands.

"Couldn't be met? Qu Bo caught one in front of him, and now you've got another one. It's too bad, so let's let the two worms fight each other first." One fight, let's meet today and see which one is rare!" Cang Hai said.

Xu Sheng was unhappy when he heard that: "No, we're going to bring the worms back and kill them everywhere. They are obviously two good worms, so why should we fight each other first!"

Cang Hai curled his lips when he heard this, and felt that the two old men were in a daze. Now in Cang Hai's eyes, Qu Guowei and Xu Sheng seemed to have been poisoned by pyramid schemes. The two old men were completely brainwashed.
