Pastoral fragrance, there is a chili wife at home

Chapter 032 Catching Dragonflies Ling Tianyang remembers that time, because the family couldn't open the pot, Wang had no choice but to send her, Xiao Si and Lao San to Xiaba's grandfather's house, and the grandfather cooked the eggs for Xiao Si to eat.Thinking of this, Ling Tianyang felt sad. In their family, the most miserable child should be the second child. Ling Tianyang is her elder sister, and there are two younger brothers below him. He is involved in almost all the work of the family. Fortunately, the family conditions are good now. Otherwise, with the five or six-year-old body of the second child, he must have been crushed.

"Well, okay, then our chicken will be handed over to Xiaosi?" Ling Tianyang rubbed the top of Xiaosi's head, but he was thinking in his heart how to make Doctor Yuan accept the second child as his apprentice?Forget it, let's start with character recognition first. According to her current IQ in her 20s, learning this ancient character should not be too difficult. Besides, isn't it just traditional characters, which look similar to simplified characters.

"Sister, I will dig crickets and feed the chicks every day!" Xiaosi patted his chest and assured Ling Tianyang.

Ling Tianyang has a black thread and digs every day. What if the cricket is dug up by Xiao Si and becomes extinct? "Xiao Si, in fact, we not only need to feed the crickets to the chickens, but also grasshoppers and caterpillars, all are fine."

Xiao Si looked at Ling Tianyang pitifully, he knew that he could feed grasshoppers, but did chickens eat other things?

"Xiao Si, think about it, do you have to eat vegetables for every meal?" Xiao Si nodded honestly, "The chicks also have to eat a la carte, so they all dig crickets and feed them."

"I understand!" After listening to Ling Tianyang's words, Xiao Si hurriedly said something to Ling Tianyang, and ran away. Ling Tianyang shook his head as he looked at Xiao Si's small figure.

Just as Ling Wensheng expected, the grain harvest of the two mu of dry land was finished in one day, and the next step was to undress the grain, and then threshed the grain for storage. The whole family was so busy that they didn't touch the ground.

The rice in the rice field was about to be harvested, but Ling Wensheng came back several times with a sad face. It turned out that there were too many grasshoppers in the field, and they had almost eaten the leaves of the rice. Big discount.

Ling Tianyang took the second child, the third child and the fourth child, and the siblings each took five small chickens in their hands, and went to their own field. Mrs. Wang went to the town today to buy small chickens. This was Ling Tianyang's request. of.Is there any insecticide in ancient times, and there is no way, so I have to use the most earthy method, taking the chickens to kill insects.

There were many children in the field that day, and they all brought their own chickens. The grown-up chickens were not brought with them, because the rice was almost ripe. Hens not only ate locusts, but also rice. eat rice.

When he arrived at his own field, Ling Tianyang untied the straw ropes from the five chicken legs in his hands, and drove them to the rice field. The second and third children also let go of the chickens in their hands, and untied his , Watching them happily running into the field, Ling Tianyang squatted down again to untie the rope for Xiao Si's chicken.

The four siblings guard one side to prevent the chickens from running out of the rice fields. They also hold a bamboo pole in their hands, and a piece of rag is hung on the top of the bamboo pole. My favorite is the chick. I hold a bamboo pole in my hand. When I see an eagle, I wave the bamboo pole. The eagle will be driven away. This is a common method in the countryside, similar to a scarecrow.

Xiaosi has an extra bamboo pole in his hand, which was made for him by the second child. On the top of Xiaosi's bamboo pole is an oval shape made of bamboo strips, which is covered with a spider's web, and then it can be dipped in dragonflies. , Xiao Si likes this thing.In fact, Ling Tianyang also likes it, but she only dares to play with it at home, but dare not take it out, because she is 14 years old and is about to get married, so Mrs. Wang grabbed Ling Tianyang's ear and educated her hard Again, don't play that.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Si screamed with joy, "Wow, second brother, I touched a dragonfly!" Xiao Si held a bamboo pole in one hand and a dragonfly in the other. I couldn't move it, so I just dragged the bamboo pole.

The second child smiled and took the dragonfly from Xiao Si's hand, "Little Si, grab the dragonfly like this, otherwise you will bleed if you get bitten!"

Little Si was frightened by the second child, so he quickly let go of his hand and checked the direct little palm, "Second brother, look, have you been bitten?"

Ling Tianyang thought it was a bit amusing, so he walked over with a smile, and the third child also ran over with a smile on his face, "Second child, Dragonfly is so powerful, you must be lying to the fourth child, right?"

"Why would I lie to him? I was bitten when I was young. The black dragonfly and the red dragonfly are the most powerful. They are very powerful. They bite you and won't let go."

"Huh? Second brother, is it really that powerful?"

"Second brother, let's catch the dragonfly you mentioned too, shall we?"

The second brother broke off the dragonfly's wings and said, "Let's go and see if there is any?"

"Hey, second child, what are you doing?" When the second child broke off the dragonfly's wings just now, she thought that the second child was afraid that the dragonfly would run away, but she didn't expect that the second child tore off the dragonfly's tail again.

"Eat!"

The second child's answer made Ling Tianyang feel that he was messed up in the wind again, eat, can dragonflies be eaten? "Stop! Second child, you can't eat dragonflies!"

"Sister, why? It's not like we haven't eaten, have you forgotten?" The third child pursed his lips and looked at his sister dissatisfied.

"Ah? I've eaten it before?" Ling Tianyang collected the memories in her mind. Well, she admitted that she was really vicious. It turned out that the children here would go to the fields to catch dragonflies every summer and autumn. Then tear off the wings, tail and head, leaving a small body in the middle. Pick off the green pepper, clean the inside, then put the dragonfly meat in, put some salt and soy sauce, and burn it on the fire. It is very delicious.Ling Tianyang swallowed hard after thinking about it, the dragonfly in his memory was really delicious when cooked, but she just felt it was so cruel!

"Of course, you ate it last year!" The second child replied without hesitation.

"Sister, you are the one who eats the most!" The third child pouted dissatisfiedly, forget it, he didn't care about her, who made her the elder sister.

Well, even the corners of Ling Tianyang's mouth twitched fiercely. She still remembered that their family's living conditions were not good these years, and they couldn't eat meat once in half a year, so the children went to catch dragonflies in the rice fields, and sometimes went to the river Touch crabs, fish, and eat meat.

"Well, we can't eat dragonflies anymore, it's a beneficial insect!" Ling Tianyang said bitterly, trying not to think about the smell of burning dragonflies.

"Beneficial insects? What are beneficial insects?"

"What are beneficial insects?"

The two little ones asked at the same time, and little four raised his little head, staring at Ling Tianyang with a pair of bright eyes, "Beneficial insects are insects that are beneficial to us, you don't know, this dragonfly, it eats those pests on our rice, So we can't eat them, let them catch pests for us!"

"Really?" The third child still couldn't believe it, because he didn't want to give up this mouthful of meat.

"Nonsense, my sister is fine, what are you doing lying to you?"

"Sister, let's catch some dragonflies and put them in our fields, shall we?" The second child heard that they could eat pests, and immediately thought of the locusts in the rice fields. If the dragonflies could also catch grasshoppers, he would not eat them.

Ling Tianyang felt that the three younger ones were not easy to deceive. If their family had money, she really wanted to send them all to school. "Well, the pests I'm talking about are not just grasshoppers. Dragonflies are not big. How can they catch grasshoppers? They eat other pests." Anyway, Ling Tianyang has never seen a dragonfly eat grasshoppers, because no matter how powerful a dragonfly is, it can only eat grasshoppers. Such a small one, but it is a spider. In the previous life, I often saw them use spider webs to catch grasshoppers and then eat them.Besides, if the dragonfly is caught in the field, it will fly away as soon as it is released. How can it be possible to let them stay outside in the field? Hey, how did it get here?

"Dragonflies can't be eaten, why don't we catch some spiders and put them in the fields, they eat grasshoppers!" Ling Tianyang slapped his head and said to them quickly.

"it is good!"

Ling Tianyang and the others decided to catch some spiders, Xiao Si looked up pitifully, watching his sisters and brothers make such a decision, and their dragonflies were gone.Thinking of not being able to eat such delicious dragonfly meat, Xiao Si's eyes filled with tears, and he gently tugged at Ling Tianyang's sleeve.

Ling Tianyang was extremely embarrassed by Xiao Si, if it wasn't for her, they could all eat dragonflies, now that there is no meat left in their mouths, it is normal for Xiao Si to be sad.But, Xiao Si, can you stop looking at her like this, it makes her feel like she is guilty, "Xiao Si, don't be sad, my mother will make you sweet and sour pork ribs when she comes back tomorrow, how about it?"

Because the rice was about to be harvested, Ling Tianyang asked Mrs. Wang to go to the town to buy some meat and marinate it for everyone to eat, so as to replenish energy. He also asked Mrs. Wang to see if there were any bones. It was cheap, so I bought it and stewed it for a few. Eat small ones.In short, Ling Tianyang's original words are: Mother, you can buy whatever is cheap, anyway, everything on a pig is a treasure.

"Sister, what are sweet and sour pork ribs?" The third thief leaned over, his eyes fixed on Ling Tianyang, as if Ling Tianyang was the steaming sweet and sour pork ribs.

"Why don't you care so much, just do what you have to do, anyway, you will know tomorrow night. Xiaosi, watch carefully, let's catch some spiders and come back." Ling Tianyang knocked on the top of the third child's head hard, blessing With a cry, he walked towards other fields.

The second child is now similar to Ling Wensheng and Wang Shi, and he believes in Ling Tianyang very much, so he also put down his bamboo pole and ran towards home. The third child followed behind the second child. Ling Tianyang couldn't go far, so he had to look around.

Xiaosi was bored, so he used thatch to string up the grasshoppers he had caught and put them on the field ridge. Ling Tianyang walked around for a while and found that there were very few spiders in the field, so he followed Xiaosi to catch grasshoppers.

In the evening of the next day, Mrs. Wang came back with the ox cart in Bajiaowo. When Mrs. Wang arrived home, Ling Tianyang was still catching grasshoppers in the field with three young ones.

"Sister, let's go back quickly, mother is back." Xiaosi jumped straight into the field with a small body, if Ling Tianyang hadn't pulled him, he would have gone to the field immediately.Fortunately, the rice fields are now watered, otherwise Ling Tianyang would never go to the fields, because there are leeches in the fields, Ling Tianyang is more afraid.

"What's the hurry? Second child, we're going home." Ling Tianyang grabbed Xiao Si by the collar and shouted to the second child and the others.

They drove one by one, and quickly drove out twenty chicks.

Xiao Si was hurrying in front alone, seeing Ling Tianyang and Lao Er laughing loudly, with a small body and short legs, they ran fast.Ever since they sold gallstones for the first time, they have been buying things for the younger ones, so buying food from them seems to have become a must, and that's why Xiaosi ran so fast.

Little Si ran in front, and Youngest shouted loudly from behind: "Little Si, don't run fast, I want to go back and eat your food!"

Hearing this, Xiao Si ran even faster, Ling Tianyang gave Lao San a hard look, "If Xiao Si falls in a moment, you can coax him!" Turning around, he said to Xiao Si: "Little Si, you Run slowly, sister will watch over your third brother for you, and make sure you are the first one to get home."

But Ling Tianyang's words didn't seem to have any effect, Xiao Si still ran so fast, Ling Tianyang had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and drove the twenty chickens to run.

From far away, I heard Xiao Si's soft and waxy voice, "Mother, mother!"

Mrs. Wang answered loudly in the house, Ling Tianyang and the others came back and locked up the chicken before entering the house.

In the outer room are the things Mrs. Wang bought this time. There is a chicken cage with about a dozen chicks in it. Xiaosi is currently holding a bunch of candied haws and chewing on them, and holding a piece of crispy candy in the other hand. , There are two buns in front of him, with candied haws sticking to the corners of his mouth, which looks very funny.

"Yangyang, come, eat a bun first, cook slowly, don't worry!" Wang looked at the children lovingly. She knew that Ling Wensheng complained that there were too many grasshoppers in the field, so the children went to the field to catch grasshoppers every day. Grasshopper, under the sun every day, Yangyang's white skin was tanned, Wang's heart ached, Ling Tianyang was the only daughter in their family.

"Mother, why did you buy so much food today?" Ling Tianyang knew that Mrs. Wang had always been frugal. When did she buy so much food, such as candied gourds, crispy candies, and steamed stuffed buns.

"You child, is your mother very stingy? It's not that you didn't have money before, and you are tired these days, and mother wants to buy some food to reward you." Wang looked at Ling Tianyang reproachfully, picked up a bun and Pass it to Ling Tianyang.

Ling Tianyang was about to pick it up, but when he thought that he had caught a lot of grasshoppers today, those annoying pests spit out a lot of things like soy sauce on his hands, he was so sick, he said: "Mom, we caught a lot of grasshoppers today. , I haven’t washed my hands yet, let’s wash our hands later. Xiao Si, put it down quickly, wash your hands first.” Ling Tianyang walked over and pulled Xiao Si, and walked out the door.

The second child and the third child glanced at each other. In fact, they have been used to the sister's particularity these days, especially after catching bugs, they must wash them well before they eat with the bowl. What they say in this place is that they love cleanliness mean.

"Sister~~~" Xiaosi called Ling Tianyang in a soft voice.

"Xiao Si, you just don't have a long memory, right? What did my sister tell you two days ago?" Ling Tianyang would not be attracted by this stinky boy. In the tub, squatted down to help Xiao Si wash his hands.

Ling Tianyang doesn't know if there is soap in this era, anyway, she has been here for almost two months, and she hasn't seen it. There is a kind of grass used for bathing here. After crushing them, wrap them in a cloth and rub them on the body. It seems that there is no one who washes their hands.However, Ling Tianyang felt a little disgusted when she saw Wang's washing in pig food, so she didn't follow suit.

Almost all the steamed stuffed buns that Mrs. Wang bought today were stuffed with meat. A few small ones were very happy to eat. Mrs. Wang didn’t buy many, two for each person. After eating, everyone felt unhappy, so Ling Tianyang told them, Wait a few days to buy some flour and make it by yourself to make sure they have enough.In fact, Ling Tianyang doesn't like eating pasta very much, but it is estimated that his body has not eaten this food for a long time, and he still wants it after eating it.

In the evening, Ling Wensheng took a few young ones to take a bath in the river. Mrs. Wang and Ling Tianyang were cooking at home. Mrs. Wang bought several bones today, and they were all big ones. Mrs. Wang said they were given by Uncle Man Niu , he saw that Wang bought quite a lot, so he gave these bones to her.What Wang buys the most is fatty meat, which is used for oiling, a pig heart, a pair of pork kidneys, and some ribs. These are the sweet and sour pork ribs that Ling Tianyang is going to make.

Sweet and sour pork ribs was Ling Tianyang's favorite dish in her previous life, and it was also her favorite dish. Mrs. Wang handed Ling Tianyang the cut ribs.

First put a little water in the pot, pour the ribs down, wait until the water is dry, then pick up the ribs, put a little oil, put some ginger in it, then put a few rock sugar, wait for the rock sugar to melt, pour the ribs down, stir fry A few times, then put vinegar, fry for a while, when the pot is about to start, put some green onions, and it's done.

As soon as Ling Wensheng entered the yard, there was a smell of meat in the air, which attracted a few children to stop playing and gathered in the kitchen to watch Wang and Ling Tianyang cook.

After a meal, everyone was full. Xiao Si lay in Wang Shi's arms and asked Wang Shi to rub his stomach. Ling Wensheng hugged Lao San, and Ling Tianyang and Lao Er sat on the same stool.

"Second brother, do you have any thoughts on selling wine?" The second child is not old or young. On the contrary, Ling Wensheng is too old, and he has a lot of new things. His ability to accept is not old enough. The second is good, so Ling Tianyang likes to talk to the second about many things, and it is also a way to train him.

"Sister, after cutting the rice, aren't you going to Qingxiang County with Dad?"

"Well, actually, I don't know what to do, second child, you have to know that a new thing needs to face many obstacles, I..." Ling Tianyang was afraid that the wine would not be sold at that time. The money will be in vain, which is earned by her hard work up the mountain to pick gallnuts.

"Sister, what are you afraid of? If you can't sell it, you can't sell it. Anyway, you earn our family's money. If it weren't for you, wouldn't we be eating potatoes every day? Maybe I've been sold out Let's go." The second son said that his whole head was getting lower and lower.

Even if what the second child said is true, Ling Tianyang still feels flustered. She has never done business. When she was in college, she helped others sell things a few times, and then sold some trinkets. How could she have that brain? .Forget it, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridgehead, who cares, don't think about it!Ling Tianyang ruthlessly threw out the negative thoughts in his head, forcing himself to be calm!
