Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 256 Step through the iron shoes and find nowhere

After a few days, things were basically sorted out.

Gu Yu heard that the people in Xiaohezhuang over there are still locked in the yamen, and whether they can celebrate the new year is still uncertain, after all, it was their fault from the beginning to the end.Because of this incident, Xiaohezhuang and the shops on the side of the town became famous for a while, but it was not good or bad.It has been rumored for a long time, and some strange things will come out. Some people always think that this shop is not simple, and it may not be what it looks like. Some people even say that there are officials here. After being denied by others He also said that the storyteller in the teahouse also said that there was an emperor who also liked to do carpentry, and it was normal for an official, otherwise why would he look so neat.

The second uncle, Li Dequan, has become such a bodyguard role without knowing it.

There are also rumors that the old woman's family can't stay in Xiaohezhuang. Most people believe this, and it's normal when they think about it. In the end, I found that I was being encouraged and imprisoned, and I couldn't pass this level.As a result, the food that the family did not take back disappeared overnight, and the baby was bullied when he went out to play, and even when he went out to carry water carelessly, he was sprinkled with mud and sand. Eyes... This can be regarded as a crime for a reason.

After Li Dehe came back that day, he said the idea of ​​releasing the row, and everyone agreed. I don't know how much effort I saved, so I went to Linzhuang to find an old man, and built a shed next to the open space, just waiting Bring the wood back.Yu'e's daughter timidly came over to inquire about the rotten skin, and then went back with a smile.

Gu Yu agreed to the matter of the second uncle, and lived with Xia Zhi in the shop. On weekdays, he went to the town for a stroll, and came back to see the cloth dyed by An Jinxuan. It was fresh, and there was even a touch of moving color in this winter. It must be the effect of the secret recipe. I was overjoyed. Since the things here are almost done, An Jinxuan will be able to return to the city next year.When I first came here, I didn't feel much, and even complained vaguely when I was having a bad time at the beginning, but at this time, I actually felt a deep sense of reluctance.After all, this is where she really lived. It is said that she has lived in the city for several years, but she really went there when she was delivering peach sauce last time.

The second uncle didn't say much after entrusting Gu Yu, so Gu Yu didn't know what it was, just looked at the shape of the root, and thought of a way to get close.

The people over there are repeating the work of beating and sifting every day, but they don't think so much. Because of the second uncle's warning, Gu Yu didn't rush to contact him, but Xia Zhi couldn't help being curious, and ran over every day He's not afraid of people when he's playing, and he didn't chase a milk doll over there, but he knew it was someone from the shop, and the talkative woman over there inevitably inquired about things here.

Another day, Xia Zhi came back with an object.

The second uncle was sitting at the door smoking a dry pipe, and he was a little excited, and he didn't know it when the things fell on the ground.It looks nothing unusual, there are long beards on the outside, and the brown skin is very rough, so there is nothing to be seen in such a small ball. Gu Yu saw that the second uncle kept grinding it with a piece of wood, and the pink skin was exposed. After cutting it open with a knife, the inside turned out to be white. He sighed, "It really is a stupid potato."

"What's a stupid potato?"

The second uncle suppressed his excitement, "I searched for a few years before, and I didn't expect to see it in this place. It's really hard to find. I really don't know it under my nose. I don't know where it is. What are you going to do with it?" Carefully make that thing into a separate item, put it in the backyard and bury it.Turning around, he asked Xia Zhi, "Tell Second Uncle, what are they doing with this thing?"

"Hmm... make white froth and put it in the pool."

He knew this from a distance, so the second uncle didn't make things difficult for him, and pinned his hopes on Gu Yu. Gu Yu felt a little strange, it seemed to be a very important thing, but it was a pity that he was a teenager. You can't pretend to be a doll like the summer solstice to coax people, right?
Just when I was worried, a rain solved the urgent need.

Perhaps the people over there felt that it was too unlucky to put the things out of the pool into the wooden barrels, or that there was nothing to be afraid of in this fine weather, so they spread things on the open space beside them and left them there to dry.

Coincidentally, on that day, a large group of men went back to transport stupid potatoes, and most of the rest were women who had nothing to do, so they wanted to take a stroll in the town.Who knows that God has no face, and the rain is so fast that the faces of those who stayed in the field and guarded the things turned pale. The second uncle took Gu Yu to help, and the things were rolled up and covered with oiled paper, and straw was put on top. A few were lost, but most were preserved anyway.

After the second uncle and the others came back by themselves, four or five people came in the second half of the day. The first one was in his early forties. He looked very capable and had a mustache. He called himself Chen An. The land is much closer, "Thanks to my brother, otherwise, things got wet this trip, so many of us would not be able to keep being punished."

The second uncle is naturally polite. After abducting a few times to ask about that thing, the person calmly changed the topic. He must have refused to talk about it or they thought too much. Those people have already gone back. The one named Chen An stayed behind, and asked roundabout things about the nearby area. He also talked about the fight that day and asked if there were many thieves here.The inside and outside of these words are meant to make friends, and the second uncle also said haha.

Seeing this, the man left without saying much.

Unexpectedly, I came back the next day, brought food and wine, and had a drink. In the days that followed, I often came to chat with my second uncle, and finally vomited, "I see that my brother has seen the world, so I won't hide it from you." Well, although there is nothing in this place that is a wasteland, it’s just that the stupid potatoes grown in the mountains next to the county are useless in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of our An family, they are precious, and those who are nearby will boil them out and give them away. Come back and use it to starch cloth."

"We don't understand this. People in the city are very particular about it. We can dye our upper body with indigo at will here. There is no such thing as so much attention." The second uncle said nonchalantly, patting his coarse cloth clothes.

Listening to the tone, Chen An saw that the second uncle didn't intend to know about him, so he relaxed his vigilance, "My baby is useless, he is a married person and can't do anything, I just think that the young master of this place is very important. Yes, but no one is willing to come to this rural area. If he has been here for two years, he will be able to find a good job when he goes back. In this world, this person has endless worries about his children... This thing is indeed Indispensable, the starched cloth is stiff, but it can come in handy.”

It turns out that this is the way to pave the way.In two or three years, whether it is long or short, if there is no native-born person to protect it, it is normal for something to go wrong.

The second uncle was straightforward, "My nephew will come over in the future, just call me if you need anything."

Chen An was very grateful.

Before the summer solstice, he got the meaning of Grain Rain, seeing that they had nothing to say at this time, he said with a smile, "Uncle, you make those things like rice noodles every day, can you eat them?"

Chen An saw that Xia Zhi was about the same age as his grandson, and he liked it very much, so he naturally didn't hide it from him, "I haven't eaten this thing before, but it's fun to make. I see you have a good thing, but your father made it for you. of?"

Chen An was referring to the puppet Xia Zhi was holding.

Xia Zhi nodded, "My father can do anything."

"Then I'll make a meeting for you, and you'll be fine with it when the time comes." She looked inscrutable.

Xia Zhi went there with a puppet, and he was not at ease every day. He was always afraid that someone would cheat his things, and Gu Yu didn't agree with him taking it back, so he had to guard it bitterly every day. People look funny.Gu Yu happened to go to ask him to eat a few times a day, and he was familiar with the people there, and no one seemed to be wary of her.

Gu Yu went back and said to Second Uncle Haosheng, "Second Uncle, I saw what was going on, but I didn't know what they were going to do. It was first brought in, then smashed, and then the slag was mixed with it. Put all the foam into the original white gauze, take the river water and filter it into the pool, take about three wooden buckets of water for a pot like that, and dump the dregs after wringing out. When the pool is full, let it dry for a while In two days, the white liquid in the pond congealed, and the muddy liquid on it was swept away with a straw broom, then taken into a basket, and picked up to a flat place over there to dry. After drying, the powder was kneaded together Somewhat crunchy."

Gu Yu spoke in such detail, and then took out a small ball from Xia Zhi's pocket, "This is what I got."

The second uncle crushed the thing in his hand with two slender fingers, frowned and sighed, "It turned out that I used it to make this, but I was too worried. We moved to this place, and we didn't know it. After so many years Well, it’s just under our noses...we are also under their noses. Who would have thought that it would come at this time, God’s will, God’s will.”

Gu Yu was at a loss when he heard it, and he didn't understand what it was for.

Xia Zhi thumped over, "I can't eat it, it's not fun."

Gu Yu was a little funny, "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat! Is this anything edible?" In fact, I was also wondering in my heart, that thing looks pinkish white and slightly yellowish, is this thing used for starching?Then why is Second Uncle so solemn?Is it of great use to Brother Jinxuan?

The second uncle smiled, "This one is of great use, it just depends on who gets it."
