slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 295 Snow Road
In the morning, Cang Hai opened his eyes and found that the sky outside was still gray. As for the roofs and treetops, there was a thick layer of snow, and there were even ice edges hanging from some treetops and eaves. The stalactites hanging upside down are very beautiful.

After getting up, washed his face, rinsed his mouth, folded the quilt, tidied up the room along the way, Cang Hai went downstairs to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Wang Zhenzhen was sweeping the snow, when she saw Cang Hai coming downstairs, she held onto the broom and asked with a smile, "Xiao Hai, how did you sleep last night?"

"It's beautiful!" Cang Hai walked over with a smile, reached out to take the broom from Wang Zhenzhen's hand, and started to sweep the snow with the broom.

"Don't do it, let's eat. You still have things to do after you finish your meal. I will take care of this work slowly." Wang Zhenzhen looked at Cang Hai and said with a smile.

Cang Hai smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll finish the sweeping in a while, by the way, is Shi Jie up yet?"

"This kid took Yan Li away last night and said he was going to make some kind of plan. We don't care about him. He's just a monkey with no backs and we can't keep him in the house," Wang Zhenzhen said.

She has nothing to do with her own son, but it seems that she has nothing to do not only with her son, but also with her daughter Shi Wei. In short, as a mother, Wang Zhenzhen feels very hurt when she thinks of this, looking at Cang Hai who is working quickly , I felt in my heart that the flesh that fell from my body was not as popular as the son-in-law Cang Hai.

"Auntie, you go into the house, it's too cold outside, you've cleaned most of it, and I can clean up the rest in at most 5 minutes." Cang Haize glanced at Wang Zhenzhen and found that she was still going on. Stay in the yard and sell it immediately.

Wang Zhenzhen waved her hand and said, "It's all right!"

Cang Hai had no choice but to talk to Wang Zhenzhen while sweeping the yard. In fact, it was mainly Wang Zhenzhen who said that Cang Hai echoed it from time to time. Anyway, no matter what the mother-in-law said, Cang Hai just nodded. He also frowned and criticized others sternly.

Anyway, when dealing with this mother-in-law-to-be, Cang Hai flattered her without principle.From Cang Hai's point of view, this is not a college entrance examination, and he has to be so clear about what to do.

After sweeping the courtyard, Cang Hai swept the snow at the entrance of the courtyard, at least sweeping the snow leading to the main road to both sides of the road, and then took the team back.

Returning to the yard again, leaning the broom in his hand against the wall, Cang Hai took off his gloves, then opened the door to signal Wang Zhenzhen to enter the house, and then walked into the kitchen by himself.

In the kitchen, Hu Shijie and Shi Zhenbang were busy cooking together. Seeing the two of them came back, he said with a smile, "Get ready, it's time to eat!"

Wang Zhenzhen complained to Shi Zhenbang: "How can you let the guests work?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm getting older and I don't sleep much, so I just need to give you a hand or something," Hu Shijie said politely.

Shi Zhenbang opened his mouth and said: "Today, I learned a hand of mutton in clear soup from Uncle Hu. Ma'am, I will let you try it later. I have nothing to say about this skill. The ingredients are not much, but the taste is really enough."

Waking up early in the morning, Hu Shijie saw that Shi Zhenbang was going to make mutton noodles, so he automatically asked to help roast the mutton.As a man in the Northwest, I don’t know how to eat other things. Noodles and mutton are inseparable. Many people have the ability to cook mutton. Sheep's head, each family seems to have different specialties, many of which are still inherited from the ancestors.

For example, Shi Zhenbang's culinary skills were passed down from his deceased mother. He is good at marinating and adding heavy soy sauce, while Hu Shijie is good at clear soup.The mutton in Sijiaping Village is generally better than clear soup.Because the village was poor in the past and couldn’t afford any heavy ingredients, it was generally possible to save as much as possible. Several generations of people have been doing it for many years, and gradually formed their own small characteristics. The main flavor of mutton is not relying on the stewed ingredients. .

While talking, Hu Shijie and Shi Zhenbang had already started to move their hands. After uncovering the lid of the pot, the white foam from the boiling noodles immediately rested from the side of the pot, and the wide noodles in the rolling green water followed the boiling water. Rolling up and down, it looks very beautiful.

The noodles in the morning are wide noodles, which are similar to belt noodles. Some miscellaneous grains are added to the big white noodles, so the noodles are not white, but a little gray. Pound a little minced garlic, add some chili oil, pour two spoonfuls of mutton soup, and finally scoop out a mutton bone with meat and put it in a bowl, it becomes a luxurious breakfast.

When it was on the table, Shi Zhenbang watched Wang Zhenzhen take a sip of the soup, and asked expectantly, "How does it taste?"

Today he learned a hand from Hu Shijie, and couldn't wait to ask his wife if she liked it.

Wang Zhenzhen immediately praised Hu Shijie: "Uncle Hu's craftsmanship is really amazing. This soup is fresh and thick, milky and white."

After finishing speaking, Wang Zhenzhen said to Cang Hai: "Xiao Hai, try it too, oh, I forgot, you are from the same village! You should have tasted Uncle Hu's handicraft long ago."

Hu Shijie said with a smile: "Haiwazi can't stand this smell. He was spoiled by the people of Modu. If you eat mutton without a little bit of smell, you will be happy. If you say that this mutton has no smell, it's still called mutton." Mutton?"

Wang Zhenzhen glanced at Cang Hai and said, "That's right, good mutton must have such a little taste, but it can't be heavy, like Uncle Hu's mutton is the best."

Cang Hai has lived in Shanghai for many years, but he really can't stand the taste of the people in his hometown. When eating mutton, it must have a smell. Without the smell, they feel that the mutton is not authentic.

Of course, the smell of mutton here is different from that in the inland areas. The sheep in the inland areas are generally fed with feed, and the smell is strong, but the mutton here is either fed with feed or released. The sheep are grass-fed mutton. The smell of mutton is different from that of the feed, and it has a grassy aroma. It seems that the grass-fed mutton generally cannot leave the county. It is digested by everyone. Only the mutton raised by the feed is sold to the market. inland.

After eating a bone stick, Cang Hai ate the noodles in the bowl and put down the bowls and chopsticks. Hu Shijie and the others ate two big bowls. The red oil in the bowls was almost floating. Beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead, and white gas was constantly puffing from his mouth, which was extremely enjoyable.

After eating and tidying up, Cang Hai bid farewell to Hu Shijie, Shi Zhenbang and Wang Zhenzhen walked to the side of the road, watched Cang Hai start the car and started on the road, the couple went home.

Waiting for the car to get on the road, Hu Shijie said to Cang Hai: "He is a nice family, you are a lucky boy."

Cang Hai smiled and didn't respond.

The roads in the county are cleaned by sanitation workers, and the snow on the roads has been swept away. Only dirty snowdrifts can be seen on both sides of the road from time to time, so the car drives without any problems.

Cang Hai drove the car directly to the decoration market. The people who made the steel frames were Cang Hai’s acquaintances. They were the ones who made the several kiln door frames of Cang Hai’s house. Naturally, it is impossible for Bian to abandon the people he has worked with and develop some new customers to make steel frames for himself.

Canghai employs others easily, and they are also happy. The main reason is that Canghai does not drag money at all, and there is no need to urge the money at any stage. Canghai will give it automatically. For small business people, it is also difficult to find lanterns.

Another point is that there are fewer people making shelves in winter, and Cang Hai can be said to have given this man a big deal.

So, as soon as Canghai's car stopped, the owner and his wife stood in the parking lot waiting for Cang's boss to come.

After a bit of politeness, everyone entered the room. The boss and Cang Hai looked at the schematic diagram drawn by Cang Hai. The shelf made by Cang Hai was based on the shelf on the market, but some joint parts were changed. , and some environmental protection requirements are put forward for the materials, mainly to consider the convenience of disassembly and the pollution of the environment.

The thing is simple, and the boss can understand it in five or six minutes. It is not the first time that the two have cooperated, and everyone is a cheerful person. The boss's business is not very good at this time, so the price he gave is also very sincere, less than half a dollar. After an hour, everyone finished the work. Cang Hai left a deposit of 6 yuan for the boss to buy materials to make it. The rest of the money will be paid after each batch of goods arrives. .

After the matter was over, the boss and his wife refused to let Cang Hai and Hu Shijie go, and forced them to go to the restaurant at noon, and then expressed their gratitude. They were accompanied by two of Cang Hai's high school classmates, Li Fang and Zhao Changchun.

After eating, eating and chatting, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Canghai and Hu Shijie returned to the village. Before leaving the county, Shijie called and asked where Canghai was.

Cang Hai put down the phone, and said to Hu Shijie, "Oh, turn around and connect the two guys."

Hu Shijie said with a smile after hearing this: "Now the village is more lively. In fact, I think it's better to find an opportunity to take over your father-in-law's family. Anyway, you and the doctor are settled here. Don't come here. It's time to tell, the old man hasn't been to the door yet."

Cang Hai really didn’t think about it, so he gave Shi Wei a call after thinking about it, but Shi Wei disagreed, she felt that it’s too cold now, and the road is not easy to travel, it’s better to start spring now The time has come.

Cang Hai was right after thinking about it, so he drove to pick up Shi Jie and Yan Li.

Shi Jie and Yan Li were standing at the intersection, seeing Cang Hai's car approaching, and after climbing into the car, Cang Hai found that both of them had dark circles under their eyes, and it was obvious that they didn't sleep well last night.

"What's the matter, didn't sleep last night?" Cang Hai asked.

Shi Jie glanced at Cang Hai with contempt, and then said lazily: "I don't have time to sleep, no, I just got the things out more than half an hour ago, so I just begged to come to the door eagerly."

Cang Hai pretended he didn't see the boy's appearance of being beaten up, and said, "Let me have a look?"

"What are you looking at now, don't you want to drive! Don't talk to me, I'm going to sleep for a while and I'm sleepy," Shi Jie said.

Yan Li looked at Cang Hai with an apology on her face: "Brother Cang Hai, don't mind."

"Aren't I stupid to be angry with this kid?" Cang Hai said with a smile, and started the car.

After driving all the way to the town, Shi Jie and Yan Li slept like two little pigs on the air seat at the back, the snoring almost knocked off the roof of the car.

After returning the car to the nursery, Cang Hai drove the ugly donkey back to the village with Hu Shijie and the three of them. Now Shijie and Yan Li couldn't fall asleep. Frozen shrunk into a ball.

Shi Jie said dissatisfied: "I said brother-in-law, you are too stingy. Didn't you say that the roads here have been repaired, so why are you reluctant to buy a good car?"

When Cang Hai turned around and saw that the kid was starting to have a snot, he reached out and got him a piece of paper: "So you're still going to drive? How can you see the road? It's not like sitting in the car and crawling like ants. It's better to take a scooter, it's colder but faster."

When it snows heavily, the road is almost invisible. People like Cang Hai who walk often can barely see where the road is. If it is someone who has never walked before, they may go downhill. Driving at this time is really too dangerous.

From the county to the town, and then here, it is obvious that the closer to the village, the heavier the snow falls. The ruts that I just walked through yesterday are gone. It is just white snow, and the snow has stopped in the county. , Snowflakes were falling in the town, and it was already light snow not long after leaving the town.

Although it was snowing, the road was obviously much easier than yesterday, because there was no icy layer rolled over by the tricycle on the road, and it was full of snowflakes. The ugly donkey can use its four hooves to exert strength. The car pulls lightly like flying.The speed is several times when it comes.

At first, they thought they would be late for dinner, but now that it was still dark, the four of Cang Hai saw the village, and when they returned to the village, each household started cooking dinner.
