My village can't be like this

Chapter 194

When Zhang An got home, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.

Although it was a bit late, it didn't mean that I wanted to get dark this day.

When Zhang An's car horn honked, Wang Fang knew that Zhang An was back.

Meanwhile, Zhang Jianguo was busy tanning badger skins.

Although there are not many patients with hemorrhoids these days, it is not without.

Get this thing out first, in case you need it when the time comes.

"I'm back, then go wash your hands and prepare to eat."

Every time Zhang An went to look for Su Ying, he would not come back until this afternoon.

So every time Wang Fang watched the time to cook, Zhang An had dinner as soon as she came back.

"Don't worry, I'll install the TV first."

When Zhang An was talking to his old mother, he put down the TV from the car.

In this day and age, a 29-inch hunchback TV still has some weight.

I chose a place in the lobby and moved a table over to put the TV.

The family hasn't bought a TV cabinet yet, and Zhang An doesn't plan to buy one either.

He thought about going to Carpenter Lin's house at night and asking Carpenter Lin to help him make one, as long as it can put down the TV and DVD player.

In the past, Wang Fang would have to say a few words about Zhang An's reckless spending of money. After all, this TV is not cheap.

But after taking Su Ying over for a few days at the beginning of the year, Zhang An decided to get one back.

Zhang An also vented to his parents about this matter, so Wang Fang was well prepared.

The table at home is only single-layer, so the TV and DVD player can only be placed flat.

After Zhang An plugged in the video cable, all he needed to do was plug in the power, and then he could play the CD.

When Wang Fang saw that Zhang An had finished, she brought out the dishes and ate dinner first.

At noon, Zhang An didn't eat lunch, but ate fruit with Su Ying.

Although he was full at that time, those things were not very hungry. Zhang An was already hungry at this time.

Today, Wang Fang made fire-roasted peppers and eggplants with preserved eggs in them.

This preserved egg was pickled by Wang Fang with the eggs at home after she went to learn from others.

Zhang An actually liked to eat preserved eggs a long time ago, but when he went to buy preserved eggs, he was fooled.

I bought a batch of scoundrels, took them back and peeled them off, they were full of liquid and stinks.

Since then, Zhang An has quit this thing, and he has not eaten preserved eggs for many years.

Now the shadow in my heart is lighter, thinking that it is all pickled by myself, so I don't have any resistance.

"Yo, your family is eating."

The whole family was eating when Huang Erye came to the door.

Huang Erye would not come to Zhang An's house easily, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he did not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

Either he had something to ask Zhang An, or Zhang An's family had something to do, and he came to help.

"Second Master, come and eat quickly. It's rare for you to eat at our house."

When Huang Erye came, Wang Fang had already got up to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Zhang An found a stool and called Huang Erye to sit down.

"You don't have to trouble, our family just ate."

"After eating, let's drink some wine together. Didn't the second master always like our family's Tianmajiu?"

Zhang An didn't care what Huang Erye said, took the bowl handed over by his mother, and poured Huang Erye wine.

"Enough is enough, this wine is good wine, but you should drink more, my old man can't stand it."

Seeing Huang Erye blocking the wine, Zhang An didn't continue to pour it into the bowl.

Second Master Huang took a few sips of the golden Tianma wine in his bowl.

Smash it with your mouth and start to savor it in your mouth.

"It has to be An Ziyi who brewed it well. I went to dig some and brewed it myself. That wine doesn't taste good."

After a few drinks at Zhang An's house, Mr. Huang fell in love with it.

So when I went up the mountain on weekdays, I also went to dig some Gastrodia elata and soak it back.

But the taste he brewed by himself is completely different from Zhang An's.

This made Huang Erye very puzzled. He thought that the process of making wine was wrong.

I came here specially to ask Zhang An, but Zhang An found it casually by himself.

In the end, it can only be attributed to the poor quality of Gastrodia elata.

But this is not wrong. The Gastrodia elata used by Zhang An is all grown in the space by himself, which is better than the one dug outside.

"The preserved egg from your family is also good. Where did you buy it? It doesn't have any other flavor."

"This is pickled by myself at home. The second master likes it. I will bring some back later and ask the second grandma to mix it."

Wang Fang smiled and said that the preserved eggs she pickled herself were said to be delicious, and she must be happy in her heart.

Because this preserved egg was originally marinated with eggs.

It has a fishy smell to some extent, but Zhang An's family pickled it themselves, so they can't taste that smell.

This should be the reason why Zhang An's eggs are so good.

"That's not possible. It's fine if I come here to eat and drink for free. If I want to eat and take food, then it's a bad guest."

After dinner, Zhang Anben took the cable to Li Hongbin's house to connect the antenna.

If you pick it up now, maybe you can watch a news broadcast.

But when Second Master Huang came over, there must be something wrong, so Zhang An was not in a hurry to do it.

"Second master is here, what's the matter?"

Zhang An made a pot of tea and poured it for his father and Huang Erye.

"My plums are already ripe. I plan to pick them and sell them tomorrow. I want to come over and ask if you have time. I will help deliver them when the time comes."

There are not many plums in Huang Erye's house, and many plums were knocked down by hail this year.

Zhang An estimated that this year he could pick more than 2000 to [-] catties.

These plums are sold in the city, which means it will take a few more days.

And Zhang An also told Huang Erye before that the plums still have to be taken to the city to be valuable.

In Hongyan Town, there must not be much to sell. Huang Erye felt that what Zhang An said made sense, so he listened to it in his heart.

So now that the plums are ripe, Second Master Huang came to look for Zhang An, thinking about asking him to help drag him to the city.

"Are you ready to pick it? Second master, have you tasted it to see if the plums are still bitter?"

Although those agricultural experts in later generations also did the same, but to be honest, Zhang An is still quite nervous now.

If the plums from Huang Erye's house were neither sweet nor delicious, then I would have let others spend half a year in vain.

"I've already eaten it. This year's plums are extremely sweet. I've never tasted so delicious before."

Speaking of this, the smile on Huang Erye's face couldn't stop overflowing.

This plum field can be said to be his painstaking effort when he was young.

Who would have thought that it would be planted like that later, but fortunately Zhang An gave some pointers.

Otherwise, he might have cut down the plum tree and planted other things.

"Second Master, don't worry. I'll call Ding Yi to see if he accepts it. If he accepts it, it will save you running away."

Some time ago, the plums in Zhang An's house had matured, and Zhang An felt that it was because they had poured too much spring water in the space.

So this is a few days earlier than the plums in the plum field of Huang Erye's house.

Huang Erye wondered why the same plums would ripen so many days early when transplanted to Zhang An's house.

Zhang An could only infer that the land here might be better than their plums.

Although this statement was made up by Zhang An, Huang Erye firmly believed it.

The main reason is that their plum field is too thin, and the bitter fruit has already proved it to him a few years ago.

After Zhang An's plums were ripe, when Ding Yi came to collect the mountain goods, Zhang An picked some for him.

As soon as Ding ate it, he felt that the plums were different from the usual ones.

It tastes juicy and sweet, and the plum pits are very small.

And other plums, no matter how sweet they are, will have a sour or bitter taste.

So Ding Yi immediately told Zhang An that he wanted to make the plum round.

But Zhang An's family only had those few trees, and they didn't have many at all, and they didn't think about selling them.

Before Zhang An wanted to push the plums from Mr. Huang's family to Ding Yi, but before the plums were ripe, Zhang An was not sure that the plums would be good.

Now that Second Master Huang has been confirmed, the last worry in Zhang An's heart is gone.

In front of Second Master Huang, Zhang An called Ding Yi.

"What's the matter, Zhang An?"

Ding Yi didn't say much, just asked questions directly.

Zhang An only called him when he had something to do.

"Last time you said you wanted to buy Feng Tang Li, now you don't want it anymore."

"Why, you changed your mind and want to sell it to me?"

Ding Yi was a little surprised, this guy rejected him only a few days ago.

"That's not true. It's about two or three thousand catties in our village's second master Huang's house. It's just matured in the past two days. I'll call and ask you."

"Same as the one in your house? Don't be the crispy Li Ha."

Local plums are mostly green and crisp plums, which taste a little sour and astringent.

"It must be the same. All my trees were dug and planted from his old man's house."

"Then it's no problem. I'm fine tomorrow, so I'll bring someone over to collect it."

In a few words, Ding Yi and Zhang An settled the matter.

"Second Lord, Ding Yi said that he will come to collect it tomorrow, and then you should keep negotiating the price with him."

Zhang An didn't want to intervene in the matter of this price.

On one side are the elders in the village and on the other side are good friends.

Let them discuss it themselves, unless one side gets too much points, Zhang An may speak up.

But Zhang An believed that neither Huang Erye nor Ding Yi was that kind of person.

"If you always feel that the price is not right, we can sell it in the city by ourselves, okay?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. Originally, people would only pay the price after seeing something. No one in the village knows what Boss Ding is like."

Huang Erye waved his hand, not caring about this.

The current Ding Yi has already built a reputation in the village.

After sending Huang Erye away, Zhang An took a closed route and walked towards the next door.

When Zhang An entered the yard, he found Li Hongbin back.

Right now, they are playing spinning tops in the yard with Li Yao.

"Hey, when did you come back?"

Some time ago, Li Hongbin took the construction team to the city, as if there was a big project there.

Zhang An felt like he hadn't seen this person come back for a long time.

"Well, it's stabilized over there, so I don't need to watch it there anymore. Where did you go today, and I didn't see you at home when you came back."

Seeing Zhang An coming again, Li Hongbin gave Li Yao the whip for playing the top, and let him play by himself.

"I went to school to look for Su Ying. I've been busy these days, and I haven't been there for a long time."

"Haha, Zhang An is afraid that his daughter-in-law will run away, so he runs to the city whenever he has time."

As soon as Zhang An spoke, he was joked by Zhou Lan next to him.

"That's not true. This is the candidate appointed by my mother. If my mother is gone, she will give me loose skin."

Zhang An has a thick skin, and he never loses his temper when joking.

"By the way, I bought a TV by the way today. I'm too lazy to install the antenna, so I'll take it from your house and use it."

As Zhang An said, he raised the closed line in his hand towards Li Hongbin.

"Okay, let me find the splitter later."

"Don't look for it, I brought it all, just go up and pick it up."

Seeing that Zhang An was fully prepared, Li Hongbin took Zhang An upstairs.

This closed line is very easy to connect, and it is relatively safe.

Zhang An used a knife to peel off the wire sheath and aluminum mesh at both ends of the closed line, and then cut the foam layer inside.

In this way, the copper core inside is exposed, and then it can be connected with a special wire end.

Not to mention Zhang An, a kid who often puts on TV can do this job.

Televisions are relatively expensive in this era, so many people cherish them when they buy one.

Not to mention now, even in five or six years.

As long as there is a thunderstorm, the closed circuit and power cord of the TV will be unplugged in advance.

I'm afraid that the TV at home will be damaged by the high-voltage lightning in the sky.

If you plug and unplug frequently, the thread ends will be worn out, and the TV station released may not be clear or have other problems.

Therefore, many people will often change joints for closed routes. Children are very smart, and they can understand it at a glance.

Without Li Hongbin coming over, Zhang An connected the splitter in a few moments.

There is some distance from the upper floor of Li Hongbin's house to Zhang An's house, but the cable Zhang An bought is long enough, and there is still a big loop left to reach the house.

That's fine, the TV can be moved anywhere you want in the future.

After plugging in the closed line, Zhang An turned on the TV, and the TV station came out without searching.

It's only a few minutes past seven, and most TV stations are broadcasting news broadcasts.

Not many people in future generations are willing to watch this program, but at the moment Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo are watching it with gusto.

Don't look at when they usually talk about buying a TV, they all say it's not worth seeing, but that's just to save some money.

In the past, when people in the county came down to show movies, everyone finished their meal early so that they could grab a spot in the grain drying field.

Because I went late, I could only stay behind and couldn't see clearly.

In this era of extremely scarce entertainment items, there is no one who does not like watching TV.

Although Zhang An didn't have the habit of watching TV, but just bought a new TV at home today, Zhang An accompanied his parents to watch the news broadcast.

After the broadcast, taking advantage of the time of commercials, Zhang An patiently taught the two of them how to switch channels.

"Uncle, your family bought a TV set."

Zhang Tie, a skinny monkey, ran around outside with several dolls after dinner.

When passing by the door of Zhang An's house, he heard the sound of a TV set, so he ran in to take a look.

"Your elder brother just bought it today, find a bench and sit and watch."

Wang Fang pointed to the bench next to him and asked him to move it over by himself.

As a result, the monkey ran outside, saying that he wanted to go home and call his parents and sister to come and watch it together.

Hearing what he said, both Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo laughed.

If anything good happens to this little guy, he still talks about the family.
