Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 82 Hound
As for the pig basket, it was carried by Liu Dezhu who trotted out with him.

After entering the valley, everyone was amazed, because the land of Liu Fulin and Guo Shengshou's family was so eye-catching. Looking at the green seedlings, it looked much more comfortable than the dog-like land in their home. Not to mention anything else, just this straight-to-the-head field stalk makes everyone's eyes warm.

What is a group of farmers talking about together?Of course it was talking about the land, so a group of elderly people began to go to the land, surrounded the field stalks and began to look at the seedlings.

Gu Siwei listened to the side for a while, and felt extremely boring, so he came to the small house of Yang Fulin's house, ready to help the big guy with what he could.

"Siwei, you don't need to be busy, you go to rest, there is not much work here." Seeing that Gu Siwei was about to reach out, Wu Meiling immediately stopped and said.

Gu Siwei was also polite, and directly pulled a small bench and sat down, reached out to fish a potato on the ground, and began to wash.

"It's okay, we don't need to do that, I'm fine, I don't understand what they said about Miao, so I just come here to help," Gu Siwei said.

Hearing what Gu Siwei said, Wu Meiling stopped talking, and chatted with Gu Siwei while continuing to work.

In addition to Wu Meiling and Liu Dezhu, there are two other people here. A young man is about twenty years old, thin and thin, as long as a bamboo pole. He is probably the cousin of Liu Dezhu's surname Zhao. Bro.

The guy looked very energetic, but he didn't like to talk very much. When Gu Siwei greeted him, he hummed, and then continued to lower his head to deal with the pigs on hand.

The young man still has a strong sense of secrecy, and when handling the pigs, he actually turned his back to people, obviously because he was afraid that people would learn his skills.

Everyone didn't care, and Gu Siwei didn't care, let alone people now, even if they have any good craftsmanship in the family in a few decades, they have to hide it.

Because a craft can be passed on to several generations, as long as it is done well, the lives of several generations will be settled, why should people be careless.

Liu Fulin and Sicui got together, talking and laughing, I don't know what they were talking about, anyway, they were chattering like two little sparrows.

There is also a woman from the same village, surnamed Sun, who is called Sun Qiumei in the village. She is divorced. The woman is not very old, about 26. She will still be young after decades, but she is considered an old girl now.

Divorce was a big deal at this time, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as shocking. When Sun Qiumei divorced, all the gossips in the town knew about it, and they ate melons for a while, saying everything.

Gu Siwei also heard some rumors, but he just listened to it, and he was really not interested in eating this kind of melon hard.

"Sister Qiu!"

Gu Siwei greeted Sun Qiumei, and Sun Qiumei smiled at Gu Siwei, then bowed her head to do her work.

At this time, Guo Shengshou came over and said to Wu Meiling: "There are a lot of people today, shall we go and choose some dishes?"

Wu Meiling stretched her head to look at it, and it looked like she was counting heads. After about ten seconds, she opened her mouth and said, "No need, Uncle Fulin caught a big fish, Brother Siwei brought another fish. I picked up a small wild boar, and steamed the bacon that our family brought back last time, it should be enough to eat.”

"It's good to have a few plain ones, or set up a few more dishes," Guo Shengshou said.

Wu Meiling said: "There's no need for that. People from the village don't care about it. Besides, none of you has ever eaten vegetarian food. There is so much meat today, and no vegetarian food can match it."

"Siwei, what do you think?" Guo Shengshou couldn't get his wife's approval, so he turned his attention to Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei said directly: "I am a guest, but there is really no need to do so much. If you follow my suggestion, just make a big stew, put a big pot in the middle of the table, and everyone can eat it directly." ".

"Stewed dishes are easy to make, but the weather is not suitable. When the weather is cold, it is good to make such a pot and eat it hot."

Guo Shengshou said cheerfully.

"Okay, don't stick around here, go and chat with them, you don't know how to do things here either." Wu Meiling wanted to drive Guo Shengshou away in disgust.

Guo Shengshou was polite for a while, and picked up a bean to pretend to be, but he made a gesture, and he didn't even finish picking a bean, so he ran to the old men in a hurry.

Gu Siwei has done a good job here, and is going to help the assistant with the wild boar.

But as soon as this side reached out, the other side said no.

When Gu Siwei saw the guy drop a sentence, he stopped talking, and couldn't get on with him even if he wanted to, so he had to stop.

Now the work is almost done. Cooking fish and steaming bacon is Wu Meiling's work. Even if Gu Siwei wants to do it, he is not happy. How can Gu Siwei be a guest today, and the two families have thanked Gu Siwei the meaning of.

Well, it’s not right to invite someone to thank you for a treat, and let the person being thanked be the cook. This makes people feel wrong, so it’s a big job for Gu Siwei to help choose a dish, and the rest of Wu Meiling will not let Gu Siwei. Siwei reached out.

Just when Gu Siwei felt bored, Zheng Youcai came back.

The old man carried a basket on his back, but it was different from ordinary baskets, like the one carried by Gu Siwei, which was almost square in shape and had no lid on it, but the basket carried by the old man was much more beautiful than Gu Siwei’s. It is made of thin strips, and there are some cloud patterns with bat patterns.

Old man Zheng's standard has always been good!
"Si Cui, Si Cui!"

As soon as the old man entered the valley, he saw Si Cui's figure, and immediately greeted Si Cui loudly.

"I brought you the puppy you asked for."

When Sicui heard this, she immediately ran towards Zheng Youcai, shouting as she ran, "Let me see, let me see".

Gu Siwei had nothing to do here, he was bored, so he walked over after hearing this.

Seeing Sicui coming beside him, old man Zheng smiled and took off the basket on his back, squatted on the ground and opened the top lid of the basket, and pulled out three puppies from the basket one by one.

The three puppies are not the same size, you can tell at a glance that they are not from the same litter, not only the size is different, but the color is also different, one is gray, the other is black with yellow eye spots, it is often said The four-eyed dog, the last one is yellow, ordinary big yellow.

However, these three puppies are different from ordinary pastoral dogs, because their kisses are wider than ordinary dogs, and their heads are shorter. The dog's head is long.

This is a hunting dog. Gu Siwei knows it. There are two or three such dogs in the village, but they are obviously not as good as these three dogs. The few dogs in the village are a bit stringy, which is similar to that of ordinary rural dogs, so their bone mass is higher. Serious hounds are smaller.

Gu Siwei knows this knowledge point, and he is still in other teams. Some teams have good conditions, or some old hunters can’t be called into the mountains, but the old man who is reluctant to hunt with him has always kept hunting dogs. If it weren’t for ordinary people, they wouldn’t Got a hound.

"These three dogs are not bad." Gu Siwei squatted down and said something jokingly.

Looking at the three puppies, Si Cui was a little confused. She didn't seem to make a decision for a long time, so she turned around and asked Gu Siwei: "Brother, which one do we want?"

"Didn't you say gray?" Gu Siwei asked.

Sicui said: "I think the black one looks good, and the yellow one is also good."

Zheng Youcai laughed and said: "Little girl, you are too greedy, you can only take one away, and the remaining two, one is for my apprentice, and the other is for this young man Xiao Guo. Or Take the gray one, this one is better, the two of them are used to watch the house, generally it’s fine, if Siwei wants to go into the mountains, he has to be this gray dog.”

As Zheng Youcai said, he picked up the gray dog's neck. The gray dog ​​didn't move when he held it like this. It didn't even move its tail and didn't seem to be struggling. With eyes like eyes, he looked straight at the people around him.

"See if he has a very calm personality and doesn't bark indiscriminately."

As Zheng Youcai said, he put the dog down and put it on the ground. The puppy did not run around, but stood up and started wagging its tail, sniffing around.

Zheng Youcai reached out and picked up the dog's ears. This should be an uncomfortable movement, but the puppy still didn't bark, and was still hanging straight in the air like a fluffy worm.

Then Zheng Youcai grabbed the skin on the dog's back. This action is very uncomfortable for puppies. Generally speaking, many dogs will bite people's hands back, but this greyhound is still the same as before. Being picked up is not what it seems.

"Good dog!"

Before Zheng Youcai could say anything, Yang Xingjia who came over praised him.

"This dog is good, not only because of its good personality, but also because of its good coat color, fireworks gray, seven hunting out of nine litters, and one flower out of ten hunting. If this dog could be sold at a good price in the past."

Yang Xingjia squatted down, stretched out his hand and copied the gray dog ​​into his hand, and began to fiddle with it like this.

Gu Siwei really didn't expect that an old man could make flowers out of a puppy in his hand.

That's right, Gu Siwei thinks it's a dish, just like what was mentioned in a small cross talk decades later: "Pan it!"Now Yang Xingjia's action is to pan.

"Hey, that's great, Xu Weihe's family or Qiu Xianghu's?" Yang Xingjia asked.

Zheng Youcai was amused by this, and opened his mouth and said: "It's not someone else's family, it belongs to Gou Sanli's family in our village."

"Can his family be willing?" Yang Xingjia also laughed when he heard it.

Zheng Youcai said: "His family let go of his old man, there are no people who enter the mountain, this dog is a waste for his family, it is better to give it to Siwei."

"That's right, there is no one in their house." Yang Xingjia nodded in agreement.

Gu Siwei was a little confused, so he opened his mouth and asked, "This guy named Gou Sanli used to be an old Orion?"

"The Gou family was famous in the past, but their family is not a hunter, but a herb picker. The traditional Chinese medicine handed down in the family knows a few prescriptions for women's diseases. One of the medicines is so rare that you have to go to the mountains to pick it yourself. , In the past, their family lived well with this recipe, and there was his shop in the provincial capital, but later on, everyone knew about it," Yang Xingjia said.

Zheng Youcai also sighed: "The old man is also a stubborn character, Fang Zi didn't say a word, and finally their family Gou Laosan silently came up with the prescription, but the dosage is wrong, although it has some effects, it is not as good as before. Old Fangzi..."

Gu Siwei listened to the story with great interest.

At the same time, Sicui and Liu Dezhu were also pricking up their ears. As for Wu Meiling and others who were working not far away, they also listened happily.

Such things as prescriptions and family traditions are too far away from Gu Siwei.
