Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 81
The brothers and sisters now spend half of their time working, and half of their time figuring out how to eat. They live a comfortable life. They used to eat food secretly in the village, but now they shout loudly and no one cares about them, let alone recruiting people. Bogey.

Gu Siwei remembered the date he made an appointment with Liu Fulin, so he found an excuse the day before, went into the old forest, squatted all night, and when he came back, there was an extra [-] catties in the basket on his back. young wild boar.

Of course they were not caught. Gu Siwei raised them in the space. Why? Heavy oil and heavy food are fine, if you let Gu Siwei eat two or three meals in a row, he should vomit.

This is why after decades, many people who buy imported pork always feel that pork has an indelible smell. It is because foreigners do not eunuch their pigs and kill them without bleeding.

The little wild boar belongs to the nunnery, and it is raised in the space. The arrogance of the pig is almost equal to nothing. Although there is no way to compare it with the current Tujia pig, it is much better than the original wild boar.

With a basket on his back, Gu Siwei pretended to 'climb' up the Yinsong Cliff.

Standing at the mouth of the cliff, she saw Sicui was barefoot, with her trouser legs rolled up to her knees, bending over and leading a group of monkeys to work in the field.

Walked towards the girl.

Squeak!

A monkey in the group of monkeys found Gu Siwei and squeaked to welcome the return of the master.

Only then did Si Cui discover Gu Siwei, raised his head and shouted at Gu Siwei: "Brother, are you back?"

"I came back and got a little wild boar. Let's keep half of it at home, and the remaining half will be brought to Dezhu's house later," Gu Siwei said.

When he came to the edge of Tiangeng, Gu Siwei asked Sicui: "What are you doing?"

"I took the monkeys to pick up the stones in the field."

Saying that, Sicui touched a small stone, took two steps and threw it on the ground beside the ditch. At this moment, there were already about a hundred small stones on the ground.

The small stones are all oval, and there is river mud in the ground here, and the stones in the riverbed generally have no edges and corners, they are all pebbles, so the stones picked up by Sicui are round and not slippery.

"The monkey is still obedient?"

Sicui said happily: "It's so obedient, brother, where did you find this group of monkeys, they have been working with me for almost a morning, and they haven't made a fuss."

"Where did you find them? Two trees at the door attracted them."

Gu Siwei smiled and said casually to Sicui, and then changed the topic: "By the way, stop doing it, wash your hands and wash off the mud on your body, let's go to Dezhu's house right away."

"good"

Sicui responded with a smile, but she didn't let go of the work in hand, but continued to bend over to pick up small stones in the ground.

Gu Siwei didn't urge her, and came to the door of the big house with a basket on his back. After putting down the basket, he prepared to boil water to scald the pig, but after thinking about it, forget it, and carry it to Liu Fulin's house later. Let the two old men do the job.

So Gu Siwei sat in the shade of the old camphor tree to rest.

Sicui came over at this time, putting on her trouser legs while walking, and saw Gu Siwei sitting under a tree to rest, she took a scoop of water and was about to pour it into her mouth, but after being glared at by Gu Siwei, I had no choice but to throw the scoop back into the water tank resentfully, honestly went into the house and took the kettle out, first poured a glass of water for Gu Siwei, and then poured a glass for myself and drank it down.

"Brother, why doesn't this pig come back alive? It's a pity to die. If it's alive, we can still raise it. When it's Chinese New Year, we can raise two or three hundred catties and kill it. How bad will be the year? Beautiful." Sicui looked at the dead pigs in the basket, feeling deeply sorry.

Gu Siwei said: "Wait for two days. After two days, we will finish the work. Let's raise them again. Let's find a bigger pig to raise. The best is one male and one female. Eat meat. At that time, we will eat dumplings from the first day to the fifteenth day, and change the filling every day."

Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Sicui swallowed her saliva when she heard the beautiful scenery of the New Year depicted by her brother.

After bragging for a while, Gu Siwei looked up at the sun and felt that it was almost the same now, so he stood up and put the basket on his back again.

"Let's go, let's go."

"Brother, wait a minute, my rice seeds haven't been finished yet, wait for me to turn the seeds over," Sicui said quickly.

Rice seeds are planted into rice seedlings, which are selected through the process of seed selection. Usually, rice seeds are soaked in salt water. Putting salt water is because rice seeds will always be full and shriveled. Soaking in salt water will produce plump seeds. It sank, and the shriveled seeds floated to the surface.

This simple removal of floating seeds leaves plump seeds.

Wait for the seeds to be selected, take them out, wash them with clean water, and put them directly in the ditch here to wash them. The washed seeds cannot be directly exposed to the sun, but must be placed in a cool place to dry. Soak the seeds next.

There is a time requirement for soaking seeds, and how long it takes to soak at any temperature. These are the experiences that farmers have summed up in their long-term labor.

Gu Siwei has no ability to improve, all he can do is to add such a small amount of small space water while Sicui is soaking the seeds.

After soaking the seeds, they will germinate. Cover the soaked seeds with a moisturizing cloth, and wait quietly for the seeds to germinate and grow into seedlings that can be planted in the ground.

Sicui's steps are just beginning now, but with Gu Siwei's little help, many rice seeds have begun to spit out their mouths, and such a little bit of white and broken chest means germination.

To say that Si Cui is also a little half-toned, the seeds are so good, apart from being happy, the little girl doesn't have much doubt, which can be regarded as saving Gu Siwei a lot of saliva.

After rummaging through all the seeds in the cabin, Gu Siwei and Sicui closed the door of their house, and left for Liu Fulin's family to live in the valley.

After getting off the hanging ladder and onto the raft, Gu Siwei put down the basket, and Sicui reached out to untie the raft's cable, but was stopped by Gu Siwei. The cable was tied a bit high, and the little girl struggled to untie it.

Gu Siwei's side can be reached with one hand.

After untying the cable, the raft carried the brothers and sisters down the river, and when they arrived at the valley entrance of Liu Fulin's house soon, Gu Siwei found that the pier was quite lively today.

"Four-dimensional!"

Yang Chuanwu saw Gu Siwei's raft coming, and waved loudly at Gu Siwei.

In addition to the captain Yang Chuanwu, there was also Yang Chuanwu's old man Yang Xingjia on the pier. He was older than Liu Fulin, but his body looked very tough, even stronger than Liu Fulin's.

In addition to these two, there are several old men who built the ship, such as Guo Xiangping.

These people are all here, so new boats are indispensable on the pier. The fresh wood-colored boats are a bit reflective under the sun. The tung oil has just been applied, and it seems that people can smell the aroma of tung oil before they get close to the boat.

Gu Siwei parked his family's raft on the other side of the pier, and threw the cable onto the pier first. After Yang Chuanwu took it, he tied a knot on the pillar of the pier to tie the raft.

Gu Siwei on the raft inserted the penny into the mud in the water and pinned the raft, which allowed Sicui to go to the pier first.

"Sicui is growing more and more beautiful."

Yang Xingjia saw Sicui, smiled and praised him.

After hearing this, Guo Xiangping said: "Following Siwei is considered to be living a good life, and now the girl has grown up, and in a few years she can be called her in-law's family."

"Still early".

Although Sicui is not his own sister, Gu Siwei is not prepared to let her start looking for her husband's family at the age of fifteen or sixteen like ordinary girls here. In Gu Siwei's view, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, she is still a child. No matter what, you have to live to get married.

That's what others said, seeing Gu Siwei's displeasure, everyone smiled and stopped mentioning it.

"The boat is ready?"

Yang Xingjia reached out his hand to signal: "You can go up and try. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with us all the way here. It's just that the water is getting faster and harder as we go up. I really don't know how you found this place."

Guo Xiangping next to him said with a smile: "If it weren't for the rush of the water here, do you think there is mud in the valley here, and no one will find it for so many years? Let me tell you, it is really the rush of the water. The Fulin family took advantage, otherwise Sun Shikun, who is always in the mountains, would have moved here long ago.”

At this time Liu Fulin came out of the valley.

"Everyone is here, don't stand on the pier when you're all here, come into the house, come, all come" Liu Fulin didn't arrive at the pier, and directly stood where he was and shouted at the people on the pier.

Yang Xingjia replied, "Fulin, don't you want to come and see the boat?"

Liu Fulin said with a smile: "What's so interesting about the boat? The boat you built can still leak, so don't look at it."

"If you don't read it, if there is any problem in two days, we won't admit it," Guo Xiangping said with a smile.

Liu Fulin said: "If you don't look for anyone, you have to look for them. You have to look for them from house to house. Now that we don't mention the boat, everyone come here. If you can help, don't leave today. We just eat here."

"You thought we were leaving, but we just knew that Siwei would hunt wild boars over today, so we came here specially to eat this meal and add some oil to our stomachs." Yang Xingjia laughed.

"I have no objection, what does Siwei say?" Liu Fulin laughed and asked Gu Siwei.

How can Gu Siwei be a stingy person, not to mention the wild boar that is delicious to others is just a matter of raising his hand to him.

"I don't care anymore, it's the same size anyway!"

After speaking, Gu Siwei stretched out his leg and lightly kicked the basket on the pier.I was planning to keep half of them, but now I guess I can't keep them, so I just throw them all out.

"It's such a big one, it's enough for more people."

Yang Xingjia had seen the wild boar a long time ago, not only him, but everyone on the dock had seen the wild boar in Gu Siwei's basket.

"Then you guys are lucky today. Dezhu's cousin just came over yesterday. I didn't let him go. Today I just let him cook the wild boar braised pork," Liu Fulin said.

Yang Chuanwu immediately regained his spirits when he heard this: "Zhao Youfang's family in the town?"

"Otherwise, is there any other home that makes wild pork?" Liu Fulin was a little proud.

Gu Siwei was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked Yang Xingjia next to him: "Uncle Xingjia, the Zhao family is quite famous for doing this?"

Yang Xingjia smiled and said in a low voice: "Before liberation, their family opened a restaurant in the city. Later, I heard that they even worked as a cook for a high-ranking official's family. There is nothing else. Just this wild boar dish is a must. Eat it." After that, there is nothing wrong with it.”

Oh, what does Gu Siwei think is better? How have you eaten fine bran for the local pigs here? If the wild pork is well cooked, can it go to heaven?
He didn't care about it in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and walked into the valley with everyone.
