Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 257

The matter of the stupid potato hit the door so naturally, but the second uncle also showed a casual look, but he was anxious to know where he got this thing.The opportunity came soon, and Chen An asked him to help transport it there, and he found out that the thing actually grew in a valley near the county, called Tulong Ridge. How many people, there are drivers in that place, one group leads the other, and most of them have gone out to beg for a living.

In the early days, the people in Tuyongling didn't know what they used for it. Probably the people who went out to beg for a living learned about it accidentally, so they sold it to An's shop in batches. Chen An took people to collect it every day. The person at the other end only said that it was a useless thing, and he would be satisfied if he could exchange it for silver.Therefore the price is extremely low.
The second uncle murmured in his heart, no wonder he couldn’t find it. Who would have thought that such a thing would be produced in this small village, so it slipped when it was tied up in a carriage, and by the way, he took some sticks and put them aside for easy tying. When he came back, he threw it aside, but on the same day, he carefully sent it back to Taozhuang, and told Gu Yu to see if the land of fairy fruit could be planted.
The cold air of winter is getting stronger and stronger day by day, and the loggers in the back mountain are all preparing to go home, and those logs are stacked in the back waiting to be transported back.Leaving aside the issue of discharge, I heard that there are cliffs on both sides of the Qingshi River, and the water is small in winter. I don’t know that if it encounters wind and waves, the consequences will be disastrous.And the person who discharged the discharge on both sides of the Qingshi River once said something like this, "If you discharge the discharge, you don't need to be buried if you die." Wucun, people who are a little passable will not take this risk.

Li Dequan and the others decided to give up such a risky move as soon as they heard that there was such a risk.After all, although there are some extra fees, it’s a good thing. Anyway, it’s not too far away. At that time, they could go to the back mountain to drag it back. Come back when the water is high, once you encounter problems, things can’t keep up, and people are even more difficult to explain.

A few days later, I went to Linzhuang again to explain clearly to the old man. Originally, the man was only thinking about the old days. Now that his grandson is around his knees, the family also objected. I didn't know how to evade it. Li Dequan and others came to the door. Just right.

Ruan Pitou was a little unconvinced after hearing this, and he didn't know how many things these people didn't know how to do business behind his back, and such a good idea was just let go.Thinking about it, I came up with a rare good idea, so I was abandoned like this, I was a little depressed, and I was not very polite, saying how much more money they had to pay for no reason, was it because money was too harsh or something, of course, these words are all It's all for talking behind his back, but he was thinking about Li Dequan's fist and dared not talk nonsense.

Back in the shop, Rotten didn't even bother to go home, and just stayed in the shop honestly. This kind of abnormal behavior made Li Dejiang a little puzzled. Maybe he went into the forest once. Will the xinxing change?Even asked him on the sidelines, he just laughed and said that he is not upset here, and no one cares about him, he lives for free, anyway, they brought him here and don't even think about sending him back, whoever wants to go home Just fools.

Seeing that he still had the same kind of virtue, everyone ignored him, and the wages for logging in the mountains were paid out, and the rotten skin got a sum of hard-earned money that he had earned for many years, so he closed the door and counted it by himself. Pack it in a cloth bag and throw it on the bed. For the first time, I feel a little embarrassed that I have been relying on Yu'e to earn money for so many years. At this time, it is so difficult for me to earn this money. What is difficult is that she has spent so many years How did she come here? I don’t know how much money I spend drinking on weekdays. It’s no wonder that she doesn’t have a second set of good clothes other than meeting people, and often goes back to her mother’s house to enjoy the autumn breeze. At first, I thought that marrying such a tooth The sharp-tongued loss, now that she thinks about it, besides nagging herself a few words that she has never complained about, she feels more and more ashamed but doesn't want to show it, it's just that this little coin that is usually not seen in the eyes doesn't know that it is hidden at the moment What a place.

Li Dejiang stared at him after paying wages on purpose, just wanted to see if he used it to drink and gamble again and then beat someone up. After staring at him for a few days, he didn't find anything, but he saw him eating and sleeping around the shop with a playful smile and walking around with him. Apart from bragging, the carpenters didn't go anywhere. There was no place to spend money nearby, so they felt at ease again.

As for those carpenters, some declined Li Dequan's invitation, while others came over happily.Seeing this, Gu Yu thought that he could do more things, and it would not be a problem anyway. If there was work, everyone would do it together. There is less time, but it is better to have a conversation with like-minded people, and there is no need to look at the face of the host, so it is much more relaxed, and you don't have to worry about it all day long.This group of carpenters have been in each village for so many years, and they always have something to offer, even if the shelf made by this one is strong, and the lacquering technique of that one is excellent. Originally, I was only thinking about doing business with the farmers, but I didn't expect that people from the town would also come here, which was unexpected.

Everyone is happy to see such a scene. Anyway, when Li Dequan returns to the city, the place must continue to operate. With such a group of people here, the rest often come to take care of it, so it can survive.

Rotten Pitou is a shameless person, and he quickly became acquainted with others. Hearing that they make more money doing a day's work than logging by himself, he was stunned and asked Li Dequan to accept him as an apprentice. There is no shame in it, Li Dequan Ignore him, but let Dalin take him for a few days, who would have known that within two days he would stop working on his own, despise those things that are too delicate and harder than that girl's embroidery, and despise that ink fountain is too dirty and dirty Looking at the sharp plane is not pleasing to the eye, in short, the final conclusion is that this kind of work is not what men should do.

In the past two days, he helped Dalin to carve a pair of puppets, a small box that was carved to be fine, and put it on the head of the bed like a treasure, and occasionally took it out to look at it for a while, and was stunned for a while, looking at the puppet. On the road leading to the town from the shop, I don't know what I was thinking, I wanted to go back but I probably didn't have the face to go back, so I didn't say anything, and turned my head with a playful smile, but I felt a little more lonely out of thin air.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's time to buy new year's goods.The group of people from Chen An on the other side of the river also disappeared without a trace. If the pools left behind were still there, it would be as if they had never been here. When Chen An came to say goodbye, he deliberately mentioned to his second uncle that his son would come here If so, the second uncle was kind enough to promise him once again that he would go back with peace of mind.

An Jinxuan didn't stay there any longer to busy himself. All the preparations were ready and he just went back to the city in the spring to make plans. These days, he had nothing else to do except to go back to cloth village once in a while, which happened to be in Taozhuang It's been busy recently, so I went back to Taozhuang.

The Zhuangzi is very prosperous, and the women of the Wang family and the Xu family have been thinking all day long that this year's Chinese New Year is rare to get together. If it weren't for thinking about my parents in the city, I would already be reluctant to part with this place. Parents are rare, but I have a daughter, who is easy to raise, and married to an honest person, leaving two pairs of children. It's still not worrying, everything depends on parents, when Jingzhe left, she saw her mother was getting old, and it was the same when Gu Yu was seriously ill. After returning to Zhuangzi, and not being around to serve her these past few years, Wang thought bitterly that she hadn't fulfilled her filial piety after all.

"What are you thinking about? Look at her distraught, she can't wait to go back to the city to see if we don't bother you, isn't she tired of staying in the country?" Jiang Shi and Wang Shi have a good relationship, and they never have to worry about the importance of speaking, and they always see her temper so deliberately funny.

Wang Shi smiled slightly, the reluctance in her heart deepened, but she didn't answer much.

Wen Shi chuckled, "Aren't you thinking about the opera thing?"

After saying this, Jiang couldn't sit still, and his disapproval was extremely strong in his words, "It's really cold in such a cold weather, forget it, let them go out to drink and toss about, you say each family Isn’t it over for each household to give some gifts? Why don’t you invite everyone to eat a few meals for a few days? People don’t necessarily go to see it! Except that it’s very noisy, what’s so good about it!”

Jiang's words were obviously insincere. It was rumored that Taozhuang had hired a theater troupe, and the surrounding villages had already spread the word. This is still setting up a stage, and a large circle of people has already gathered. This group has left Those who come here will be able to inquire about everything, and the people in Zhuangzi will go out with their heads held high. If that relative comes to ask for a stool or something, they will be more than happy to agree, and they will tremble, "What a big deal this is! It is said in Zhuangzi that singing for ten days and eight days is very boring, so just watch it when the time comes!"

Even Jiang Shi said just now that this opera can't be eaten or drank, but it's good to hear it spread. At this time, he said so, probably because he feels sorry for the people who are in the cold wind.Mrs. Xu burst into laughter after hearing Mrs. Jiang's words, "Who said that when Jiang Sheng was not born, he followed the head of the family to go to the theater, and he never got tired of it. He likes to hear what it's called. It's too noisy at this time. ! Tsk tsk tsk—"

Jiang Shi didn't blush when she was punctured, "Isn't that something that happened when I was young? I'm going to be a mother-in-law, so I don't want to think about it! But if people from Xiaohezhuang come over, they must not let them see it. snort!"

It was originally that everyone in the Zhuangzi went to help that day, and the shop restaurant peach sauce made a lot of money from various businesses. Besides, Dequan will go back next year, so he planned to have a good time and give it to the Zhuangzi. With a long face, any Zhuangzi can afford to hire a troupe!As soon as the words came out, the people in Zhuangzi were very happy, and there was an endless stream of people who came to inquire. The stage had just been set up, and I don’t know how many people were helping there. People, old and young, were all busy in the open space in front of Zhuangzi. Some people simply ran out with their rice bowls in hand, like a gathering place.

The people in Xiaohezhuang were imprisoned for a long time, but they were finally released, but they also lost some money to the shop, so after everyone discussed it, they decided to buy enough to invite the opera troupe to sing. , I moved away years ago, and no one would think about asking where he went. It's just that the people in the clan were looked down upon by the people in Zhuangzi after such a misfortune.There is also a strange thing in Zhuangzi. I heard that the new daughter-in-law has moved back home. This kind of thing is really rare in the Zhuangzi. Marrying a chicken follows the chicken and marrying a dog with the dog. How can the chicken and dog leave by themselves? reason.Those who have children in the family may be more thoughtful. When talking about marriage, they insisted on inquiring about the other party's character and family background. It is the son who is worried that marrying such a daughter-in-law will bring disaster, and the daughter is afraid that the daughter will marry such a daughter-in-law. family.

After this incident, almost everyone who went out to talk about Taozhuang and Xiaohezhuang did not know about it. In addition, who was the matchmaker who ate with her mouth? The head is very big, but whether it is good or bad depends on the individual's own mind.

When Jiang mentioned that people from Xiaohezhuang were not allowed to come over, Wen's gentle people were a little angry, "Where there is no use, they have face! I am not afraid that if they come in, they will not be able to get out!"

Mrs. Xu is a little clearer, "Didn't her aunt Chen Chu marry in Xiaohezhuang on the east side of Zhuangzi? Yes, let’s be happy with us, even if they come, it’s their own business, we have to worry about what to do with those people. Even if it’s a trickster, we have to see where it is? Anyway, it’s not a Zhuangzi’s business Like Aunt Chen Chu's family, they were honest and honest, and they didn't offend anyone. Now it's hard, and it's not the daughter who suffers. When they hear that it's from Xiaohezhuang, the marriage that they see is going to be dirty and commit crimes. "

Jiang said with a smile: "You have taken some elixir. Recently, your mind has become clearer, and you are still thinking about his son. Can you worry about it?"

Just as he was talking, Xiaohan ran in with his calves, holding a handful of things, "Mother, the second sister made this in the kitchen, you can eat one, it's delicious!" Logically speaking, Xiaohan should be called Gu Yusan The elder sister is, but he doesn't know whether he is used to calling after the summer solstice or automatically ignores the beginning of autumn. Later, I corrected it a few times and it didn't work, so I followed him.

Xu bit it down and it was crunchy, touched Xiaohan's head and smiled until his eyes narrowed.The women all had some understanding, "It turns out that the elixir is here."

Xiaohan was a little puzzled, shook his head and looked serious, "No, my sister said, this is not a elixir, it's called... fish skin peanut! Don't talk nonsense! Listen, it's still audible." After speaking, pinch her little finger With a fish skin peanut dangling there.

As he was talking, Xia Zhi came over with a bowl in both hands, "Mother, Auntie, Auntie Wen, and my second sister's fish skin peanuts, all have a share!" He presented the treasure in a very grandiose manner.A few people were very interested in seeing the brown grains on the outside, and they were full of praise when they bit into it, it was crispy, fragrant and fragrant, some had a little salty taste, some were spicy and some were sweet, each grain It turned out to be different, this fresh breath is especially rare, they both felt familiar and couldn't figure out how to do it, so they sighed, "Gu Yu, this girl can free up everything." "Who would marry such a A daughter-in-law will save you worry." "No!" "You greedy, wouldn't it be better for Xiaoman to be a daughter-in-law? Xiaohe is also a good one." "How can she bear it when you praise her so much, even a needle I won’t take people who don’t know whether they will marry or not.” Apparently, this last sentence was followed by Wang.If Gu Yu heard these people boasting about herself like this, she wondered if she would blush.

While talking like this while eating, Xia Zhi still didn't forget to explain, "There are all of them. This fish skin peanut can only be eaten ten at a time. If you eat too much, you will have a sore throat! The second sister also said, everyone will see it later." There must be some snacks for the show, if you go out and buy them, you might as well make them yourself, there are sunflower seeds, sesame crisps, and..."

Xu laughed loudly, pinched Xia Zhi's round face, "What else did your second sister say?"

"My second sister said that whoever wants to eat has to help!"

Mrs. Wang laughed happily, "Look at this girl, she has sent us to the rescue!"

"There's nothing left and right, but Gu Yu is thoughtful. If you want to watch a play, you have to chew a little bit in your mouth. Since we want to watch a play and we can't set up a stage, it's okay to make something." Jiang Shi became more and more serious at this time. Gu Yu likes Gu Yu, thinking that if he has another son, he will ask for it if he is worthy or not.

"Hey, we haven't seen the world, you must be right because you watch a lot of dramas!" Xu Shi didn't forget to tease Jiang Shi at this time.

A few women entered the stove room chatting and laughing, and saw Xiaoman and Xiaohe dealing with a glutinous rice ball on the ground, Gu Yu was busy guarding a steaming cage on the stove, and Dahan was looking at the fire in a decent way. Although I am busy, I am not in a mess, but there are quite a lot of things pushed on the dustpan beside me. In addition to the fish skin peanuts just now, there are also sesame crisps, flour dumplings... There are many things I have never seen before, most of them are oil. Deep fried and crispy.

Seeing the Wangs coming over, Gu Yu knew in her heart that it was Xia Zhi's credit, and thought that the message was really good, so she stopped being polite, "Mother, you and Aunt Wen get some peanuts and sesame seeds to fry together, Aunt Jiang, you Go and pound some stuffing, the second aunt is here to watch the fire, and I will help my sister and the others."

Several people had no objection and sat down with a smile.

Children's shoes, I wrote a big chapter and didn't want to leave. In the afternoon, there was a thunderstorm, so I came back to type.Today is Gu Yu. When I first started the book, I planned to conclude the essay on Gu Yu’s day. I didn’t expect to be lazy and update it for a while. It seems that it is impossible to conclude the essay now. I will try to write more in the future.
