attack stream of life

Yaoshou...

Why should I stop and look back three times?Lost your mind?

Zhao Ming was so annoyed that he wanted to beat his head, and he had to gather his energy to deal with the sudden inquiry from the patrol team.

This person should be a captain, a smiling young man who looks particularly gentle.The eyes are narrow and long, and the smile is not a smile. Somehow, it reminds people of those heroes who wander between the gentle and the scum.

Anyway, Zhaoming, who was caught upright, was a little flustered at the time, and he asked them what happened in local dialect dryly.

At this time, the sky was already dark, the winter days were short, and the yards of those residents had been closed. This group of people was more vicious than the hooligans on the street, so they blocked the shivering Zhaoming at the entrance of the alley.

Lu Zhaoming didn't pretend to be himself, he still looked like that fair and handsome young man, blinking and blinking innocently with his peach blossom eyes raised at the end of his eyes.

"Don't be afraid." The captain spoke lazily, putting his hand on Zhaoming's shoulder, "Where did you come from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Zhaoming felt a little strange, not only because the young man was standing on his left, but put his hand on his right shoulder, and pressed his fingers lightly on the hollow of his shoulder, obviously the force was not strong, but suddenly the hair on the skin stood on end.And he felt that the tone of voice was inexplicably familiar, so familiar that he was not quite right.

But it's hard to say anything at the moment, and with all his acting skills, he candidly show them the letter of introduction he gave before, showing that he is really a good citizen and travels according to the order.

"Selling food?...I don't see it right? What's in it?"

Zhaoming was MMP in his heart, he could open it directly to see, and it smelled so strong of alcohol, but people insisted on asking, just like a cat playing tricks on mice.

Zhaoming is extremely reluctant to be teased like this, being good-tempered doesn't mean losing his temper, and right now, it's the rat and the cat who got caught right?

"Homemade wine is not grain wine. Didn't it violate the regulations?" Zhaoming said with a smile, and stuffed a hard-boiled egg in the other's hand very naturally, "For the safety of our people's life, I would like to thank you Stand guard early, have you had breakfast?"

The young man approached, narrowing his eyes happily, "Are you going to the morning market?"

"...Hi! Isn't this responding to the call of the country to encourage farmers to start household sidelines to increase income? This is agricultural and sideline products. There are more rural areas and fewer cities. I just run errands for everyone and resolve bilateral exchanges. Misunderstandings caused by too little to help solve the burden on the people."

Zhaoming looks very innocent, and his smile is as bright as the sunshine in winter. It is hard to believe that he can talk about smuggling so cleanly and refinedly with such a harmless face.

The young man broke his skills in a second, smiled sullenly and immediately changed back to his original lazy look, "What kind of errand fee was confiscated? Are you so stingy?"

Pinching the fingers on his shoulders, Zhaoming froze, and smiled again, "How can we charge for running errands for collective affairs? We are a socialist country, and we don't practice capitalism."

"Brother Kuan, it's almost over, this little brother's face has turned pale from your fright." A young man with his head shrunk and his feet stomping to drive away the cold couldn't help but speak.

The young man with slender eyes turned his head and stared at him, and withdrew his hand, "Take out the things and have a look, if they are good, we will buy them."

When Zhao Ming heard it, did the co-author smell alcohol to buy things?No, is it okay for your patrol team to know the law and break the law?Thinking so, he still pushed away the grass leaves in the bamboo basket, revealing the glass bottle inside.

"Just this little thing. It took a lot of grapes to make it work. Well, it's all here."

Although I was frightened, the final result was good. The whole basket of wine was sold, not only at the market price, but also in exchange for a lot of tickets.But Zhaoming said that he would rather not earn this money. Sincerely, that young man just looked at Gentleman and looked at him with a limp and a limp.

Like a wolf cub.

"Brother Zhaoming——brother Zhaoming, are you there?"

"I'm here... Oh, Ermao, what's the matter?"

Zhaoming came out of the house. Since he brought back cheap brown sugar for the whole village, the people in this village seem to no longer treat him as an outsider.People who call others are all educated youths of a certain (surname), and comrades who are closer to each other. When they come to Zhaoming, the elders call 'Xiao Zhao' and 'A Ming', and the peers call 'Brother Zhaoming' and 'Brother Ming' , The juniors call uncle.

But having said that, the brown sugar he brought back was quite a lot, and the price was only two-thirds of the market price. Even the most stingy women in the village bought a few taels. Very decent.In addition, this money is deducted from the money for selling grain, so it is even more favorable when converted, and you can earn money when you buy it.

The villagers have tasted the sweetness of this kind of transaction, and they say they will do it again in the future.

Zhaoming was very curious, how come people in this village are not afraid of death?Catch smuggling is very powerful these days, it is unscientific that men, women and children are eager to try.

Later, a few people talked to him about the local situation. First of all, according to the local tradition, after all the children get married, they have to separate the family. Parents usually pay a fee for the separation, and they don’t even have a house. So Meng Zuyin Don't even think about it, just fight on your own.

So everyone was confused by the little bitch Qian, and it was too difficult to find food in the land, so everyone always wanted to do something big.

This village is still relatively dull. A whole village in a certain place is trading chicken feathers for sugar. How many years has he been doing this?It's not uncommon to see people selling button needles and sewing and giving pruning knives through the streets and alleys of a certain place.They were caught and released, and their skins were as thick as a city wall.

Then, there are mostly hills here, and high-quality land is relatively scarce, so gold has to be dug out in other places, so smuggling is really happening endlessly.I have to survive, I have to support my wife and children, so since farming can't bring me these things, why don't I try something else?

People are in a hurry, what can't be done?

If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful. This is the truth.

Then, it has something to do with the clan concept in the south.Clans have both good and bad sides, but without exception, they are relatively united forces that can even compete with the authorities.

The local grassroots leaders are basically from various towns, and behind them there is a group of the same clan living in the village.Then, regarding this kind of smuggling of the same clan, it is not easy to explain it clearly and reason. If you have to turn a blind eye and close one eye, everyone will live a better life.

Zhaoming understood why the black market here is so aboveboard.

After the old man finished speaking, he couldn't help but praise Kua Zhaoming, "You are a good young man. You have a smart brain, dare to think and do things, and you are hardworking and down-to-earth. You see, you are the latest in arrival and the best at learning the local dialect." Be quick, have brains. The most important thing is that you can't always live with your head up, sometimes you have to lower your head. I see, those educated youth comrades are very good at learning, if they can't do business, they can't do business Put your arrogance on your face. It's the same with being a human being, too proud to go long."

This uncle is quite prestigious in the local area, belonging to the level of an elder. After he showed appreciation for Zhaoming, not to mention Zhaoming, even the educated youths together benefited a lot, as if they were more integrated into this small village.

"Brother Zhaoming, someone in the county is looking for you, and it's at the third uncle's place." Er Mao said.

Anyone in the county looking for it?Zhaoming was very puzzled, he didn't have any acquaintances here, how could someone look for him?

"That's fine, I'll go there right away." Zhao Ming gave Ermao a piece of peanut candy left over from the Chinese New Year.This piece of candy was not small, it was square and the size of a child's palm, and the child could eat it for days if it was broken, so the educated youths were so willing. Among them, Zhaoming had the loosest hands and loved the child very much. The children in the village liked him very much.

Ermao happily took the candy and left.

Zhaoming went inside to find a lambskin coat to put on, took a blue oil-paper umbrella and walked out slowly.

The winter in the south is rainy, especially in the past few days, there are often light rains, and the children in the north can't bear the cold, so they always remember to go out with an umbrella, with several layers on their bodies, wrapped like a bear cub For this matter, the big girls in the village have laughed at him several times.

Zhaoming went to the village chief's house. When the village chief's wife saw him coming, she asked her to make a cup of hot ginger brown sugar water. Although there was not much brown sugar in it, it was their heart.This is going to change someone else, but it may not be such a good treatment.

"Auntie, don't be too busy, take a rest." Zhao Ming took out fried soybeans and fried pumpkin seeds from his pocket, stuffed a handful for the old lady, and stuffed another handful for the two little dolls beside him.This is also the reason why he is popular, even if he went to someone else's house temporarily, he never did it empty-handed.

"Your third uncle is in the main room, stay for dinner?"

"No, no, you're welcome."

Zhaoming went to the hall, and besides the old village head, he also saw a familiar person.

"what……"

Just as Zhaoming opened his mouth, the young man with a gentle smile stood up and put his hand on his shoulder, saying to the old village chief, "I haven't seen Zhaoming for a long time, and I didn't even know he was here. It's just a coincidence." , I didn’t know I came to your place until I saw you last time. In the future, I won’t be able to visit you often, so I’ll trouble you to give me more convenience.”

What long time no see?

What coincidence?

What the hell?

Zhaoming looked in astonishment at the captain of the patrol team who had only met once and didn't get along well.

The captain with superb acting skills smiled and bumped Zhaoming's shoulder with his shoulder, "Really, Amin?"

Ah Ming is a ghost.

Although his heart was turbulent, Zhaoming's face was still very calm and solemn. He was curious about the purpose of this person and why they pretended to be friendly, so he also laughed, "Yes, yes, we haven't seen each other for many years, and we have no contact with each other. Almost didn't recognize it."

The village head held a snow-white cigarette in his mouth, reluctant to light it, and smiled, "It's okay, it's very convenient. If you don't find it troublesome, come often, ah. Come on, you young people, let's talk, I'll go and see See what the old lady is doing."

The old village kindly left space for the two of them.

As soon as the old village chief left, Zhaoming changed his face. Although he was still smiling, he couldn't see the previous kindness. He stretched out his hand and twisted the hand on his shoulder, "Oh, long time no see. I don’t know if there are still my old friends here?”

"Are you unhappy?" The other party spread his hands and leaned against the pillar on the top beam with a smile. He looked at the upright young man just now, but now he looks very unprincipled, "Don't be unhappy, last time I didn't lie to you either. My name is Qiao Kuan, how old you are, just call me Brother Kuan."

baffling.

Zhao Ming didn't understand why this man was looking for him. He, a patrol captain with some power in his hands, was looking for him as an educated youth from the countryside, and even pretended to be his childhood friend. He couldn't just be idle and panic, right?

"The wine last time was pretty good, do you have any more here?"

"For the wine?" Zhao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing why, for the wine, that's easy.

Qiao Kuan narrowed his eyes, his expression was like an old cat licking its paws after eating, "Yes."

"Wine, as well as pomegranate wine, bayberry wine, and mulberry wine, but they are only half a year old, and the taste of the wine is relatively light, with a sweet and sour taste."

There are many fruit trees on the back hill of the village, which belong to the collective property of the village. Except for some of which are handed over to the supply and marketing cooperative for money and tickets, the rest belong to the villagers.Because the supply and marketing cooperatives don’t take much away each time, the villagers harvest some by themselves, and there are still a lot left on the trees. Zhaoming picks some to make wine. He especially likes the fruits from the wild fruit trees deep in the back mountain.

The educated youths all know that there are two "skillful daughters-in-law" among them, one is Comrade Xiaoyu, who pickled black plums, fried local wild tea, dried sauce, dried bacon and sausages...the other is Zhaoming, the big jar under the bed, There are salted eggs, preserved eggs, fermented bean curd soaked in wine, self-brewed fruit wine, and self-made Dieda medicinal wine.

Every time the educated youths see the two chefs weighing spoons in the kitchen, they will feel sorry for each other: They are all from the city, why are you so good?

Qiao Kuan nodded, "I'll take a look first."

"When you buy wine, you buy wine. Why are you pretending to be my old friend?"

"It's not a one-off deal. What's more, let me see, you still have to go to the county town in the future, right? I know the county town well. I know who has what and what is lacking. Really good things don't go to the morning market. What do you think about our urban-rural cooperation? Isn’t it better than you fighting alone?”

"We just met once."

"The white head is as new, and the cover is as old as before."

"...You let me think about it."

The two went to the educated youth spot.It's just the new year, and there's not much work in the fields. Everyone takes advantage of this moment to visit relatives, so the educated youths rarely have time to spare.It was getting late and it was cold outside, so everyone was sitting around the stove, holding glass bottles filled with hot water with their hands in their hands, discussing whether to eat baked rice cakes or steamed buns at night.

Comrade Xiao Yu went home, and the rest of the educated youths were reluctant to leave, crying as if his partner had gone abroad.Fortunately, Zhaoming still kept it, and this day can finally go on.However, compared to Comrade Xiaoyu, an all-around player who is accustomed to learning from the north and the south, Comrade Zhaoming's culinary skills are relatively biased, and everyone only discovered it now.

Comrade Zhaoming is the best at making dim sum, and Western-style pastry is fine, but there is no room for development here, so I just make some steamed buns in the morning, and use oil, meat, and flour to make them crispy on the outside and tender on the inside during the Chinese New Year. Shanghai stock market pan-fried buns, these snacks are delicious, not a meal.

Then, Comrade Zhaoming cooked porridge, soup, and steamed vegetables. A bowl of wild mushroom soup was so fresh that you could swallow your tongue.He even makes a pretty tasty tofu feast.

But Zhaoming himself has a light taste, and his dishes are also mainly steamed and stewed, with less salt and less oil, which is very healthy.It doesn't matter if you eat this kind of food for a few days, but if you eat it for more than ten days in a row, something will go wrong, it's too bland.

The mouths of the educated youths have been spoiled by Comrade Xiaoyu’s ancestral cooking skills. Comrade Xiaoyu made a lot of sauces himself. Even vegetarian dishes can make meat dishes oily, but Zhaoming can’t do it. He is good at cooking greasy meat dishes. Refreshing vegetarian dishes.

The comrades from Sichuan and Sichuan are the saddest. They drink clear soup and shed tears every day, but now Comrade Xiaoyu is not here. What can I do? The bean paste, chili oil, etc. that are kept in private are used for seasoning.

Due to limited materials, there are basically no meat dishes on the table after the new year, and due to limited craftsmanship, they are all light in taste.The educated youths who don’t eat spicy food think it’s okay, Zhaoming’s cooking skills are quite good, but they will be hungry if they eat spicy food.

On the nth day when Comrade Xiaoyu left, I missed her, missed her, and still missed her.

The grievances of these comrades are too deep, Zhaoming thought about it, and it is really not good to eat cabbage tofu, so he made tricks for dinner, we can have a barbecue around the stove, otherwise it is fine to eat hot pot, steamed steamed buns with stuffing ah.You can sit around the fire, chat while eating, and eat warm and comfortable in your stomach.

As soon as this proposal came out, it was passed unanimously.

The comrades finally stopped complaining about Zhaoming’s temple-style cooking skills. The first thing they do when they wake up every morning is to think about: what to eat at night?

When Qiao Kuan arrived at the educated youth spot, he saw a group of people sitting around the kitchen and greeted Zhao Ming, "Xiao Zhao, what are you having for dinner?"

Zhaoming waved his hand, "I still have some glutinous rice flour, how about some distiller's grain balls today?"

"Don't you keep the Lantern Festival for two days?"

"I'll keep the ones for the Lantern Festival."

"Big Yuanzi or Xiao Yuanzi, should I put wax gourd candied shreds?"

"Put mint on it, it's refreshing."

"Put red bean paste, the sand is sweet."

Everyone was talking about what would be better to put in it.

Qiao Kuan looked at the joy in his heart, and thought how the educated youths in this village were different from the ones he had been in contact with before, and they were very happy.This educated youth was different. He surrounded the yard, planted melons, fruits and vegetables in an orderly manner, and built a shelf with old loofah vines on it.On the ground, there were a few hens with clipped feathers and pointed pecks, and a few ducklings with flat beaks, waddling around.

I didn't even see that it was an educated youth spot. If I didn't know, I thought I had entered some fellow villager's house.

Zhaoming entered the room, lay down on the ground and pulled the jar from under the bed, while Qiao Kuan leaned against the doorway, looking at the well-organized male dormitory, while smiling as he watched Zhaoming take things, "Can I have a bowl of Jiuniangyuanzi? No one, after my uncle left, I haven't had a serious meal at home in these years."

"What kind of house food is this?" Zhaoming stood up holding the jars. He arranged several jars and flicked the dust on his knees. "I have to ask everyone first. Are you afraid that it will be too late to go back?"

"It's only an hour's journey, what are you afraid of?"

Zhaoming remembered that this person seemed to be riding a bicycle, and the bicycle was still parked at the door of the old village head's house.

The educated youths were very enthusiastic. They heard that they were old friends from the city who came to see Zhaoming and asked him to stay for dinner.Qiao Kuan hit the snake with the stick and promised with his mouth that he would go to the county town to stay at his house for two days in the future. He was very "family" and thanked everyone for taking care of Zhaoming on weekdays.

"You are Amin's friends, and you are my friends. You can come to the county to find me if you have anything to do in the future. If you don't break the law or violate the principles, it is your duty." He naturally put his hand on Zhaoming's shoulder, with a sincere and enthusiastic attitude.

All the gay men said yes, yes, yes, only one lesbian muttered, 'Why does it look like someone is here? ', she just said casually, followed by 'Okay, okay'.

Zhaoming twitched the corners of his mouth, not wanting to speak very much.
