I live in Miao Village

After receiving the reply from the magazine that day, Xue Yi successively received replies from four magazines and two newspapers, three of which published Xue Yi's works.

A provincial publication also attached a short letter, saying that they read Xue Yi's short folklore article and found it very interesting, and wanted to open a column called "Guizhou Local Customs" and invited her to be a special writer , writing about interesting stories about ethnic minority areas, and even said that she would be interviewed.

"Teacher, you are so amazing!" Xue Yi opened the letter on the playground, surrounded by a circle of children, all of them opened their mouths in amazement.

Xue Yi patted Chengwen's head, and said that you should study hard, and you will be better than the teacher in the future. After thinking about it, he wrote back and said that writing is okay, but interviewing is fine.I wrote two more manuscripts and sent them back together.

Among the many published works, there is also a group of photographic works, taken on the day of the Lusheng Festival, most of which are photos of Adeihua and other girls wearing silver ornaments, and a few of them are boys dancing Lusheng, the most grand scene One is folk singing to each other on Changchun Slope.

A Yaoduo saw that it was Adaihua's photo again, and the boss was upset. Xue Yi asked her to help her send the manuscript fee and sample magazine to A Daihua next time she wrote back to A Daihua, but Ayaoduo was not happy.

Xue Yi said: "What are you throwing your temper at again? When will you come back? The college entrance examination is less than a month away, why aren't you nervous at all?"

A Yaoduo: "Dragon Boat Festival is coming, I will come back to race the dragon boat."

"Dragon boat racing is more important than the college entrance examination?"

"Of course, if I don't come back, our village will lose to Changxing Village again." Ayaoduo's answer was a matter of course, and the children around nodded in agreement, saying that Ayaoduo, we must win!

Xue Yi: I know this place doesn't pay much attention to the college entrance examination in this day and age, but can you stop being so big, my heart is so tired, okay?

"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll pass the exam." A Yaoduo patted Xue Yi on the shoulder, clenched her fists, and said through gritted teeth: "This time you must take more photos of me, more than Adeihua's." , looks better than Adeihua's, and it will be published in provincial newspapers!"

[Then add the text: This is my wife, isn't she pretty? ]

[666, the talent in front hahaha! ]

[No, no, it should be accompanied by an article. I want to tell the people of the whole province that this newspaper has been contracted by my family, A Yaoduo! ]

[Chen Duxiu, sit down for me! ]

Xue Yi rubbed his forehead, thought for a while, let out a "hmm", glanced at the upper left corner of the screen, the points were almost up to [-] points, and the system said that a new function would be activated again, and he didn't know what the hell it was going to do this time.

Dumplings are made during the Dragon Boat Festival. Reed leaves are used in the north, while reed leaves are used in the south. Ruo bamboo grows in the upper reaches of the Baishui River, that is, the swamp where Ayaoduo's family goes to Changchun slope.

After lunch, the children started to tease Xue Yi early this afternoon, let’s go to pick the reed leaves, and he is as smart as Brother Jin, saying glibly: “Teacher, we haven’t had a labor class for a long time, let’s go to work today OK?"

Xue Yixiao said, don't you usually do enough housework at home?Want to find a job yourself?But she also wanted to pick reed leaves and make zongzi, so she said, "Okay, we will have labor class this afternoon!"

"Yeah, that's great, the teacher gave us a holiday as soon as Ayaoduo came, happy~"

"Ayaoduo, let's go, teacher, hurry up."

"Come on, take down the camera!"

A group of people shouted loudly, and Jin Ge took the lead in singing along the way, Miao Gehong|Singing in turn, the June sky in Miao Village was blue for a while, and the camp returned for a while after shooting, which made Xue Zhi want to laugh.

When everyone arrived at the swamp, there were already many people there. Fortunately, the swamp is quite large, and reed leaves grow everywhere.

There is nothing special about picking Ruo leaves, just pick long, wide and complete leaves.

It was June at that time, and it was very hot, but it was very cool in the swamp, mixed with the fragrance of reed leaves, which was very pleasant.

After picking it up for a while, Xue felt that it was about the same. He straightened up and stretched his waist. Seeing Chengwen and a few older boys reaching out to touch something in the river, he asked them what they were doing!

"We are touching snails, mussels, teacher, what do you think?" Cheng Wen walked to the bank in two or three steps, and showed Xue the bamboo basket.

Xue Yi touched a handful of snails the size of a thumb and came out. Although it felt a little dirty and was still stained with water, it was said to be delicious, so you can touch some back and let Ayaoduo cook it for her later.

So he took off his shoes and socks, tried it out, and got into the water.

[The anchor is so hardworking, isn't he afraid that there will be leeches in it?It is said to suck blood! ]

[I don’t even want my life for food, what if there is a snake. ]

[The feet are so white! ]

[Fuck, it’s really water, it’s so cloudy, I believe this live broadcast is not computer-generated. ]

Xue Yi is full of black lines, saying that it has been live broadcast for so long, do you think it was synthesized by a computer?

Seeing her getting into the water, Ayaoduo came over, "What are you doing in the water, the water is very icy."

"Touch snails, can you do it?"

"Yes, you want..." A Yaoduo saw her getting into the water, and followed her into the water, and surrounded Xue Yi all the time, so that she could help Xue Yi if he fell.

But Xue Yi was very upbeat, not at all as delicate as a girl in the city, one foot was deep and the other was shallow, and he staggered when he walked, but he didn't fall down, but he didn't touch it for a long time.

"Chengwen, why did you find snails and what I found was mud?" Xue Yi asked Chengwen very modestly.

Xue Yi doesn't like the labor class very much, because she is the teacher in other classes, and she knows the most in the class, but when it comes to the labor class, she is basically a useless person, not as good as a few children.

Seeing that she was very embarrassed to ask, Ayaoduo pulled her over and said why didn't you ask me, I know!

"Okay, then tell me!"

"Okay, but... I'm teaching you, right? You have to call me teacher!"

Xue Yi: "Why, I want to be a teacher just by touching a snail. Then I taught you so many questions before, do you have to call me Patriarch?"

"But the book says, teacher, teach you how to solve doubts, teach you to touch the snails, does it count as solving doubts? Although this confusion is a little small, it is still a confusion!"

"Hey, Ayaoduo, you have pushed your nose on your face these two days, right?" If it weren't for the muddy hands, Xue Yi really wanted to put his hands on his hips and put on a show.

"Not only will I teach you how to touch snails, but I will also make them for you!" Ayaoduo looked fierce, but she was a little timid, and said, "If we tie, you don't have to call me teacher, and neither do I." call you teacher?"

Xue Yi thought for a while, and finally lost to the legendary delicious spicy snail, "Just this time!"

"Okay!" Ayaoduo was full of joy, "Come on, take a look. Although the snails live in the water, they occasionally come up to breathe air, so most of them will be adsorbed on the stones, and come out to breathe in the morning and evening. Like now, most of them will hide in the stones, you can just follow the stones to find them."

"It's that simple?" Xue Yi groped down a huge cobblestone, and sure enough, he came across a lot of hard things. When he touched it, it was really a field snail.

Seeing that Xue Yi was covered in mud, the audience was happy like a fool, and said: [Anchor, you are really willing to let go! ]

Xue Yi: "You have to experience it when you come here. Although it is dirty, it is quite fun."

Seeing Ah Ying and a few children jumping up and down in the middle of the river, she asked A Yaoduo whether they were swimming or what they were doing, A Yaoduo said: "They are catching fish."

"Catch fish with bare hands?" Xue Yi was shocked, "These kids are really amazing, they can swim faster than fish, let me try."

After speaking, he walked towards the middle of the river, and when the water was waist-high, he washed off the mud on his body, and jumped into the water to swim.

The audience didn't expect her to be so sudden, the camera suddenly changed from the green mountains and green waters across the river to the underwater world, and they were shocked.

[Anchor, please say hello, please?Scared to death. ]

[Hey, hey, there's a fish ahead, hurry up, hurry up, oops, anchor, can you hurry up? ]

[Over there, over there, just swam past you, oops, ran away again. ]

With a sound of "哗啦", Xue Yi emerged from the water and yelled, "Shut up, everyone, you will, come and swim!"

Audience: [Oh, we were wrong. ]

However, when Xue Yi went into the water, he was commanded by various commands, and he couldn't be shut down.

"Help me get the glasses." Xue Yi floated up again, handed the glasses to A Yaoduo for safekeeping, and soon caught a carp half a foot long.

"Brother Jin, let's add another dish of fish in sour soup tonight."

"it is good."

Jin Ge has been in poor health since he recovered from his illness, and he didn't dare to go into the water. He stood knee-high with A Yaoduo at the edge of the water, and after taking the fish, he and A Yaoduo looked at each other. Still crazy?"

Brother Jin: "I think so too."

Audience: [Teacher Xue blends in so quickly!You can actually catch fish with your bare hands. ]

[In other words, if Duomei can see the barrage, I don't know what will happen. ]

[It must be exciting hahaha! ]

A Yaoduo looked at Xue Yi's glasses for a while, thinking that these are ordinary glasses, nothing special, Xue Yi must be lying to me, right?

When going back at night, Ayaoduo couldn't help asking: "Is there really a word on it? Are there really many people watching outside?"

"Yeah, I can't even turn it off." They are YYing me and you again!

"Why can't I see those words?"

"Well... You should stop watching it! It's not suitable for children."

"I'm an adult." Ayaoduo argued.

"Yes." Xue Yi responded perfunctorily, "Don't worry about it so much, let's make stir-fried spicy snails, they all said they want to eat it."

Ayaoduo shook her head and said it was not enough.

"why?"

"Because there is a lot of mud in the snails, you have to soak them in salt water overnight until they spit out all the mud."

"Okay." Xue Yi was a little disappointed, and got up early the next morning to urge Ayaoduo.

For snails to be delicious, the key lies in the taste. Stir-fry in heavy oil and spicy, and put in a little variety of spices to be enjoyable.

Some people will knock off the tail of the snail to make the snail more delicious, but if you like to suck out the snail and the soup that seeps into it with your mouth, you don't need to knock it.

Because I have to make zongzi later, and the time is tight, Ayaoduo didn't knock off the tail and fry it directly.

Miao villages like to use bad chili when cooking, and Ayaoduo is no exception.

The fire is hot, the onion, ginger, and garlic are sautéed, followed by the bad chili, and the hot and sour taste that can arouse the appetite comes out. The red hot pepper is slightly boiling on the pot, and there is a sound of frying. .

After the water from the bad peppers was collected, Ayaoduo put the cleaned snails in, stir-fried them for a while, then closed the lid and it started to get stuffy.

"Wait until the soup is suffocated in the pot, and then the soup is gradually collected. The snails are ready. You need to keep stirring them halfway, but not too often."

Finally, A Yaoduo added chopped green onion, sprinkled with salt, rolled a small cone with reed leaves, and used it to hold the fried snails. Xue Yi felt that this was a stroke of genius, good at eating and romantic!

"Is it a custom here to serve snails with reed leaves? It's so interesting." The hot and sour pepper, the fragrance of reed leaves, and the taste of snails are a perfect match.

"No, I suddenly thought of it, you try one?"

"Yeah." Ayaoduo didn't need to say, Xue Yi had already taken one out, picked out the outer cover with a small bamboo stick, picked out the snail meat, removed the tail, chewed it, "delicious!"

"The soup inside is also good, you can drink it by turning the shell of the snail upside down."

Xue Yi didn't make it right the first time, and the soup was poured all over the floor, but the second time he finally drank it smoothly.

It is said that if the snails are not cooked properly or if the mud is not clean, there will be a muddy smell. It tastes like eating mud, but Ayaoduo’s cooking is not bad, there is almost no muddy smell, but it is spicy and sour, and it is very enjoyable to eat. .

Because the shell of the snail is on the outside, it has a strong taste. Xue Yi accidentally licked his mouth, and he wanted to lick the whole snail inside and out.The small half pot of snails was eaten without knowing it.

[Anchor, don't eat, save some for us! ]

[Inhumane, show or not to eat, eat or not to tease! ]

"Okay, okay, let me sell you a little." Xue Yigang wanted to sell it to everyone, but found out, "It's over, when will I finish eating?"

A Yaoduo spread her hands: "Just now, you were alone, and you finished eating in 10 minutes."

Xue Yi: "So exaggerated?"

[Isn't it an anchor! ]
