slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 28 Killing the sheep to celebrate

Cang Hai felt that the folks were a little crazy. Although he persuaded everyone to slaughter the chicken, the half-grown lamb in Hu Shijie’s family still did not escape the fate of being slaughtered. After a few struggles, he followed Li Er's grandfather, Li Liren, died with a knife in his hand.

The man is busy beating the sheep, while the woman is holding the family stuff and starting to fetch water.

"Grandma Li San, why are you still filling the tank? Since the water is coming out of the well, it seems that you can't do it for a while. You are not only filling the tank, but also putting the face of the family The pots are all full, isn't this a waste?" Cang Hai said, looking at Li San's grandma, also known as Qian Ximei, under her house.

Qian Ximei didn't mean to stop at all, and replied with a smile: "Use more tomorrow morning!"

Regardless of the fact that the house is already full of pots, the two big grass pots at home will probably be filled with water if they continue to fight.

Cang Hai looked at the backs of these women who were busy at work, as if they were going to move all the well water home today, he sighed, squatted down and took out a cigarette from his pocket.

As soon as the cigarette was drawn out, Ping An, who was squatting beside him, snapped like a little follower, took out the lighter and lit the cigarette for Cang Hai.

After lighting a cigarette, Ping An played with the lighter.

"Ping'an, do you think everyone is crazy?" Cang Hai asked Ping'an after taking a puff of cigarette.

Ping An raised his head, did not answer Cang Hai's question, but yelled, "Second brother, I'm hungry!"

Cang Hai took out two small buns from his pocket and stuffed them into Ping An's hands: "Eat secretly and don't be seen!"

Hearing what Cang Hai said, Ping An quickly took the bun, held it in his hand, and looked around like a chicken thief. He seemed to think it was unsafe, so he hid beside Cang Hai, tore open the package, After taking a bite and looking around, his mouth moved when he saw that no one was there.

Even so, this kid is still vigilant, as long as there is any trouble, his mouth will immediately stop moving.

Cang Huo was smoking a cigarette here, letting Ping An hide behind him and nibbling bread. After half a cigarette, he felt something protruding at his feet, and when he turned his head, he found that his tiger-headed yellow He knew when he came to his side and was biting his shoelaces.

Reaching out and copying this little thing into his own hand, Cang Hai took a look at it: "I was so busy that I forgot, I want to give you a name."

Ping An heard it at this time, turned to Cang Hai and said, "Should I call you a puppy?"

Cang Hai shook his head: "Puppy doesn't sound good, there are black tigers in every village, or I'll call you Hutou."

The name Cang Hai was also chosen casually, so Hutouhuang is called Hutou?There is no technical content at all.Fortunately, although he was not technically content, the person next to him was not a big flatterer. After Ping An said it again and again, he continued to gnaw his bread like a thief.

Ping An eats very delicately. He doesn't eat bread very often. He eats bread once in a while, so he tastes it carefully, for fear that he will eat it too fast and not taste the sweetness in it.

Canghai continued to smoke his own cigarette. If someone looked from below, there was only a dark shadow in Canghai at this time. From time to time, a little spark lit up, but it went out in an instant.

At this time, everyone in the village is not in the mood to take care of Canghai and its safety. A group of old men in their 70s and [-]s are slaughtering sheep with the enthusiasm of young people, while the women are busy continuing to fetch water.

Seeing that he couldn't finish his work in a while, Cang Hai stood up and was going to see what Grandpa Hu brought back today.If it was normal at this time, the old man would have already tidied up his things in a decent way, but today he was dazzled by joy, and the old man couldn't think of other things at all.

When he got to the side of the cart, Cang Hai found that the match gas tank he wanted had arrived, so he picked up the match gas tank and walked to his house.

He hadn't finished eating Ping An's buns yet, so he naturally followed Cang Hai whenever he moved, carefully hiding himself in Cang Hai's shadow.

Carrying the match gas tank into the house, Cang Hai pulled out the single-head match gas stove from under the bed, connected it, unscrewed the tank and turned on the fire to start boiling water.

Cang Hai had a water bottle, and Cang Hai also brought a pot of water. One pot of water would be enough for two pots. After it was boiled, Cang Hai took a towel and wiped his face well.

He removed the towel and saw that the part where the good guy wiped his face turned a khaki color, which shows how Cang Hai came here these days.

Seeing the face marks of the towel man, Cang Hai suddenly felt itchy all over his body. He used to take a bath once a day in the magic capital, but now he has been back to his hometown for a week, and he didn’t even wipe it with water after taking a bath. However, it's strange that it doesn't itch.

At the thought of taking a bath, Cang Hai couldn't bear it any longer, turned around and went to the house.

Seeing that Second Grandma Li was busy carrying water, she opened her mouth and asked, "Second Grandma, do you have a bathtub at home? I want to take a bath!"

Second Grandma Liu Aifen immediately said: "Yes, yes, I will find it for you!"

After speaking, he put down the plastic bucket in his hand and took Xiao Pao back to the house. Cang Huo followed and stood at the door. Seeing Second Grandma Li taking the basin, he reached out to pick it up and carried it back to his own kiln.

As soon as it was placed in the basin, Second Grandma Li came in with water. After entering, she poured all the water in the bucket into the large wooden basin on the ground without saying a word.

"Is it enough? If it's not enough, I'll carry another bucket?"

Cang Hai quickly said: "Enough is enough!"

There are only two pots of hot water, no matter how much water there is, it will not be hot. Canghai is not prepared to take a big bath, even if he wants to take a bath, he must have a big wooden bucket.

Hearing what Cang Hai said, Second Grandma Li went out with the bucket, and dragged Ping An out by the way.

After adding hot water and sitting in the basin, Cang Hai suddenly felt a sense of comfort all over his body. He washed his whole body with a hot towel dipped in water, and when he got out of the basin and changed into dry clothes, his whole body was completely soaked. With a refreshing energy.

Poured out the water in the basin, and returned the basin to Second Grandma Li's house. Cang Hai returned to the house and continued to boil the water. He used up all the water for bathing, and still needed hot water for drinking.

After the water was boiled and poured into the pot, Cang Hai went out for a walk.

As soon as Cang Hai went out, the little tail of Ping An immediately jumped out and followed behind Cang Hai step by step.

The whole village is dark, and the only bright place is the entrance of Grandpa Hu's kiln. Now a group of people are chopping the sheep. The whole lamb weighs about forty catties, and it weighs about ten catties after removing the internal organs. .Now there are a lot of old men chopping sheep, chopping sheep, and boiling water. As for Li Liren, the second grandfather, Li Liren, who used to be a cook for weddings and weddings, the work of cooking sheep naturally belongs to him.

Seeing Cang Hai walking over with Lai An, everyone greeted Cang Hai one after another. At this time, no one thought Cang Hai was a fool, and everyone thought that Cang Hai was a person with ink in his belly. Those soil sticks in the county are too strong, and Haiwazi only needs to look at it to know that this old well can be drilled.

Look at the few rice buckets in the county. They came here with a lot of things, mixed up several meals in the village, and entertained them with delicious food and drink, but in the end they delayed everyone for more than ten years.

"Haiwazi, wait for a while, dinner will be served in a while!"

Li Liren held a big spoon in one hand and a cigarette in the other. He was still wearing a white cloth apron. Although the white had turned half gray, Li Liren was still a chef.

"It's okay! I'm not hungry" Cang Hai said against his will.

Cang Hai doesn't feel very hungry now, because he is too hungry.

This time, Li Lida had already removed the sheep's head, chopped it in half and released it into the earthen pot.

"Shall the sheep's feet and tail be cooked today?" Li Lida was a little uncertain, so he looked up at Hu Shijie.

"It's been cooked in one pot, I'm happy today, I've cooked all my brains," Hu Shijie said with a wave of his hand in his heart, happy.

After hearing this, Li Lida immediately threw the sheep's tail into the pot, then raised his head and began to chop the sheep's feet.

Cang Hai stood by the pot for a while, and then smelled the smell of meat coming from the pot. The mutton this few days is different from the mutton Cang Hai ate in Shanghai. The sheep here are not fed, they are all herding sheep at most Just feed a little grain and corn, the taste is first-class, and the men in the northwest can also cook sheep, so the smell does not have the smell of ordinary mutton.

Originally, he was too hungry, but when he smelled the mutton, Cang Hai's stomach couldn't help but growl.

The noise was not small, everyone could hear the movement in Cang Hai's stomach.

Hu Shijie said with a smile: "It seems that our hero is hungry, big guy work harder, hurry up and let Haiwazi eat!"

"Hahaha, okay," Li Liren laughed loudly.

The mutton had to be stewed after it was put into the pot, and it wasn’t just for a while. Cang Hai looked at it for a while, and then helped him fight with Pingan, adding some firewood, getting something or something.

It was almost twelve o'clock in the night when the mutton was cooked, and the table was set in Hu Shijie's kiln. The whole village, including Canghai, a dozen or so people, sat around the big table.

On the table is a big dish, stewed mutton, and the other two small dishes are brought out by Cang Hai, two cans, one is beef meal, and the other is conger eel.

Everyone gathered around the table, and Wei Wenkui brought the jug in front of him.

When Cang Hai saw it, he immediately reached out to get the pot, because he and Ping An were the only ones on the table who were younger than Ping An, and Ping An didn’t talk about it. This guy’s brain is not bright, so Cang Hai should be responsible for pouring the wine both emotionally and rationally. .

Wei Wenkui immediately stretched out his hand to block Cang Hai's hand when he saw it: "Today you are a great hero in our village, no matter what, it's not your turn to pour this wine, if you want to pour it, wait until next time!"

"Yep!"

Wei Wenkui's words aroused the approval of the surrounding people.

Seeing this, Cang Hai smiled wryly and retracted his hand.

At this time, Hu Shijie picked up the wine glass in his hand, let alone a wine glass, it was just a wine bowl, no matter how full a bowl is, there is a measure of two or three taels.

"Today is a very happy day for us. The old well in the village has regenerated water, and it's not that kind of muddy water. It's clear and sweet water. Let's pay tribute to our hero, Haiwazi!"

Speaking of this, Hu Shijie faced Cang Hai with a bowl, and Cang Hai immediately picked up the bowl in front of him and stood up when he saw it: "Grandpas and grandmas, Uncle Wei, I am luck! I can't be like everyone."

At this time, Ping An yelled, "Grandpa, I also helped with the work."

Hu Shijie laughed and said: "You are also counted, you are also considered a hero, you can drink a little today."

Hearing drinking, Pingan shook his head: "No, it's spicy!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing again.

Everyone raised their glasses together, and after taking a sip, they began to eat.

Maybe it was because they were happy. Within half an hour, these people were all drinking a little too much. Even so, they didn't stop until they all drank staggeringly, that's all.
