Goldfinger is a bit strange

Chapter 218: Making Zongzi (1/2)

It was already the second night after returning from the old forest, and Liu Qingshan simply stayed in Mukeleng for another night before happily carrying the antlers back home.

As for the old mountain ginseng, well, let them grow quietly in the forest. Maybe one or two plants can be dug out when needed.

Time flies and it is already the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, and tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival.

As soon as he got home, Liu Qingshan heard a buzzing sound coming from outside, and then a familiar melody sounded: "The East is Red, the sun rises..."

Whose tape recorder is this, with such a loud volume?

Liu Qingshan was still wondering, and his mother Linzhi said with a smile: "It was someone from the commune who came yesterday and installed a loud speaker for the team."

Well, it's not bad, we don't have to rely on shouting like before.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the voice of the old branch secretary from the loud speaker: "Wai wai wai, wai wai wai, can you hear it?"

Who are you asking this?

It's true that there are some diligent people. Soon, another familiar voice came from the loudspeaker: "Secretary, I can hear it, I can hear it clearly!"

This voice is Da Zhangluo, who has a bit of a duck voice.

"It's good that I can hear it, Da Zhangluo, it's time for your flesh voice to retire this time."

The old secretary joked, and the two of them started chatting on the loudspeaker.

Da Zhangluo asked again: "What's the news? What's the inside information? Let me hear it first. Whose old man is cheating on his wife, or whose woman is looking for a wild man? It must be Captain Zhang, who is hooking up with another woman."

"You won't go out to listen, I'll start broadcasting right away."

"I can hear it here too. If you go out, it's like taking off your pants and farting."

After saying that, Da Zhangluo realized belatedly: "Won't all the previous part be broadcast? Everyone heard it?"

"What do you think?"

"Fuck, I have to run quickly. I said bad things about Captain Zhang behind his back, and this guy must chase me with a kitchen knife to chop me!"

Haha, laughter came from the courtyards of each family.

Then, the old branch secretary's voice sounded again: "Hey, everyone, pay attention, the notice is broadcast below. Tomorrow is May Day. Our cooperative is going to kill a pig. Come and get the pork then..."

Just as he was speaking, Captain Zhang's voice came from the loudspeaker again: "Da Zhang Luo, where are you going? Don't kill the pig yet. I'll kill it today!"

"Don't make trouble. The notice hasn't been broadcast yet." The old branch secretary sent Captain Zhang away and continued:

"In addition, the cooperative also bought glutinous rice and dates from the county. Everyone can make some rice dumplings. You can come and get them now."

"I, I'm number one!" It was Da Zhang Luo's voice.

"You kid are hiding under the table, right? I'll beat you into a rice dumpling first!" It was Captain Zhang's voice.

The corners of Liu Qingshan's mouth couldn't help but curl up: This loudspeaker is really lively, it seems that it's not in vain.

Liu Qingshan also suggested a few days ago that glutinous rice and red dates be purchased by Zhang Liandi. It was the Dragon Boat Festival, so we had to eat zongzi to celebrate the occasion.

In Liu Qingshan's memory, it seemed that he had not eaten zongzi for several years.

Unlike the city, the countryside can still be supplied with tickets. Although you have to queue up to buy, you can at least try it. As a farmer, you have nowhere to buy it.

If there is no place to buy, you can make it yourself, so you bought all the raw materials.

Liu Qingshan happened to be free, so he found a small basin and an empty bag of flour and strolled to the team headquarters.

There was a lot of noise on the road, and the villagers gathered towards the team headquarters with their belongings.

Dangdangdang, a gong sounded.

It was Zhang Ganzi, holding an enamel basin, knocking vigorously, and singing a jingle:

"Dragon Boat Festival, the sun is shining, every family has mugwort on the door. Hanging colorful strings, wearing sachets, the children are so happy that they jump up."

A large group of children with schoolbags on their backs followed behind him, and they all shouted:

"Jumping up, jumping up!"

During the festival, the happiest people are of course the children.

"What does zongzi taste like?"

Er Niuzi asked, wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

In fact, more than half of the children in the village have never eaten zongzi.

This is not an exaggeration. They don't even know how to peel bananas and oranges, they just bite them directly.

Zhang Ganzi continued to knock on the basin: "Er Niuzi, the little greedy bun, sat on the ground and cried, not knowing how to wrap zongzi."

Just as he was knocking hard, Shanxing's weak voice came from the side: "Uncle Ganzi, you knocked the basin open."

Zhang Ganzi picked up the enamel basin, shone it in the sun, then screamed, ran home and changed the basin.

But what he said was true: most of the villagers in the village have never wrapped zongzi.

When they arrived at the team headquarters, the kids all went to the classroom. Yang Hongying also temporarily adjusted the teaching content today. In the first class, she did not teach mathematics, but talked about the origin and customs of the Dragon Boat Festival.

On the other side, they were busy distributing glutinous rice and jujubes. In addition to red dates, there were also some candied fruits, mainly candied dates.

After receiving the things, everyone did not leave, and was studying how to wrap zongzi. Basically, they were all at a loss: they really didn't know how to do it.

Someone suddenly remembered: "I've seen Linzhi make zongzi before."

So Linzhi was quickly invited to come over and explain on the spot: for example, glutinous rice needs to be soaked for a longer period of time, and zongzi leaves need to be used to make zongzi.

There are no bamboos here, but there are reed leaves on the meadow. The fresh large reed leaves are washed and soaked in water, and the zongzi made from them also have a fresh fragrance.

As for the technique of wrapping zongzi, Linzhi also demonstrated it on the spot: it can be wrapped into a triangle, a quadrangle, or a pillow shape. After wrapping, it can be tightly tied with horseweed.

Because the horseweed was not dried in advance, a string was used instead.

The wrapped zongzi was thrown into the pot and boiled for a while, then taken out and soaked in cold water. When eating, dipped in white sugar, it was sweet, cool, smooth and delicious.

The housewives of each family also learned a general idea. If they encountered problems in practice, they would ask again.

So they all went home, soaked the glutinous rice first, and then sent people to collect reed leaves.

This does not need to be done by every family. Find a few young boys and collect a few more baskets, which is enough for the whole village.

Liu Qingshan took back the most things. The old branch secretary said that Professor Wang and his students also had a share.

When it came to distributing pork, it was the same. Other families had two or three catties, but Liu Qingshan's family directly cut five or six catties, and also stuffed the liver and intestines to him.

At the pig farm, the second batch of fattened pigs will be ready for sale soon.

This month, of course, we can no longer slaughter and sell the meat ourselves, we can only sell live pigs. We have contacted the purchasing station to purchase directly, but the price is slightly cheaper.

After taking the things home, we started to get busy. Grandpa Liu Shikui was cleaning the intestines in the yard.

In the afternoon, the school also started to have holidays, and the whole family, young and old, started to make zongzi together.

"Mom, I'll put a few more red dates!"

The little fourth child was also making trouble there. The zongzi she made was basically full of red dates, and the glutinous rice was spilled on the table.

Shan Xing's zongzi was well-made, and the zongzi was tightly packed without any leakage.

"Okay, okay, both of you go eat the candied dates."

The mother smiled and sent the two little ones away, and then started to chase Liu Qingshan away: "Sanfeng, you go to light the fire too."

The zongzi Liu Qingshan made was basically the same as the little fourth child, and was far worse than Shan Xing.

In fact, he enjoyed the feeling of family gathering together, but unfortunately, his second sister was busy with the college entrance examination and would definitely not be able to come back this Dragon Boat Festival.

Not only him, but also the fourth child was thinking about her. He took a bite of the candied dates and said, "We still need our second sister!"

"It's okay. When the rice dumplings are cooked, I will drive over and send some tea eggs."

Liu Qingshan felt that it was necessary to make a trip, not only to his second sister, but also to Zheng Hongqi and his brother.

There was also the old man who discovered dinosaur fossils in the commune, and he couldn't leave it behind. It was just right to bring him the medicinal wine.

While thinking about this, he heard a car horn outside the gate, and Liu Qingshan hurried out to greet them.

There was a jeep parked outside the gate, and several people were getting off the car. Zhang Piezi was waving at Liu Qingshan: "Qingshan, I'm back, Professor Wu and others are here too!"

Who is Professor Wu?

Liu Qingshan was stunned, looking at the old man with silver hair who got off the car, and he obviously didn't know him.

But when he saw Wu Tong, who was wearing a dress and was quiet and gentle, he immediately understood and hurriedly stepped forward cheerfully: "Welcome, welcome!"

Compared with the last time, Wu Tong now should be her true face. After all, the last time they met was when she was in the most embarrassing moment.

At this moment, she was wearing a refreshing ponytail, exuding the breath of youth, and with an artistic style that was rare in this era, which made her look even more unique.

Facing Liu Qingshan's gaze, she seemed to think of something, and her cheeks flushed slightly, but she still extended her hand generously:

"Hello, Qingshan, I come to disturb your family again."

"It's not polite, we can't invite you yet."

Liu Qingshan shook hands with her and parted at once.

Wu Tong introduced with a smile: "This is my father. He saw the Langmu brought by Brother Zhang and liked it very much, so he brought us all here."

It can be seen that their father-daughter relationship is very good. Wu Tong even inadvertently acts like a spoiled child with her father.

"Professor Wu, welcome. I dare not say anything else, but we really have no shortage of Langmu here."

Liu Qingshan greeted him respectfully.

Professor Wu was about sixty years old, with a silvery-white big back hair, combed meticulously. He should be a relatively optimistic person, always smiling.

Especially after seeing Liu Qingshan, his smile became even stronger: "Xiao Liu, right? Just call me uncle. This time I also came to express my gratitude. Thank you for saving my daughter."

As he said, he also touched Wu Tong's head lovingly.

This action was not unfamiliar to Liu Qingshan at all, because he often did the same thing to Lao Si and Shan Xing, and presumably it was the same intention.

"Uncle Wu, you are too polite, come in quickly."

Liu Qingshan did not want to say more on this issue, and hurriedly let the guest in.

At this time, the man driving the car also extended his hand to Liu Qingshan: "My name is Wu Song, I am Wu Tong's brother, thank you brother!"

The whole family came, it seems that they are very sincere, but the age difference between the two siblings is a bit big. Judging from Wu Song's appearance, he is probably in his early thirties.

But think about the age difference between the fourth child in the family and him, which is also a common phenomenon in this era.

So Liu Qingshan also shook hands with Wu Song, and he felt that the other party's palm was very powerful.

"My brother is a policeman in the Municipal Bureau, and he used to be a soldier." Wu Tong also helped to introduce.

No wonder, uh, Liu Qingshan nodded and called Brother Wu.

He was about to let the guests in when he heard Professor Wu say: "Xiao Liu, why don't we go and take a look at those wave trees first?"

This old man was still in a hurry, so Liu Qingshan led them to the gate and walked a few steps north. There was a big pile here, covered with tarpaulin. If you don't pay attention, you might think it was a pile of firewood.

When the tarpaulin was lifted, it was filled with various shapes of wave wood.

This scene made Professor Wu's eyes go straight: "This...you are not going to use this as a match?"

Liu Qingshan shook his head and thought to himself: If it were in the past, it would really be like this.

March, early spring.

It was like a low roar of gods, echoing in the world.

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim red blood rain.

The city was in ruins, everything was withered, and collapsed houses could be seen everywhere, as well as blue-black corpses and pieces of meat, like broken autumn leaves, withering silently.

The streets that used to be bustling are now bleak.

The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.

Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper remained, and it was indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage was deeply stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fluff had long been soaked into wet red, full of eerie weirdness.

The cloudy eyes seemed to have some resentment, and he looked at the mottled stones in front of him alone.

There, a figure was lying.

This was a 13 or 14-year-old boy, with ragged clothes and full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.

The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his tattered coat from all directions, swept through his body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog at a distance of seven or eight feet from him, and sometimes vigilantly observed the surroundings.

It seemed that in this dangerous ruin, it would instantly take off at the slightest movement.

After a long time, the opportunity came, and the greedy vulture finally completely sank its head into the belly of the wild dog.
