Jiangyu Mufeng

Du Jianfeng has been in this world for so many days, and finally slept on a comfortable quilt for the first time at night. He stretched comfortably, looked at Mujiangyu who was quietly moving towards him again, smiled, and simply acted like him. As I wished, I gently hugged him and fell asleep.

But from that day on, Du Jianfeng bought an ox cart in the town and suddenly spread like wildfire, causing many people to discuss it.The village is not big, every family has to go out to do things every day, no one does not know who, everyone knows that Du Jianfeng's family has separated from the Du family, and lived alone in the dilapidated house where his grandparents used to live. mu of land, Du Jianfeng bought so many things now, where did he get the money?

With such a heated discussion in the village, the Du family naturally heard the wind.When eating dinner, Li Xiao'e couldn't bear it any longer. She didn't take the chopsticks, and asked Wang directly: "Mother, did you secretly stuff money for Du Damin and the others? I heard that they bought a lot of things, and Du Jianfeng even bought a bow." , that is not something everyone can afford.”

Wang was dissatisfied with Li Xiaoe's attitude and frowned, but she was also surprised that Du Jianfeng bought so many things, so she said, "I'll give them money? Where did I get the money! Don't even think about it, He Xuelian is so The two taels of silver I saved for many years were all used up when I bought the pair for Du Jianfeng two years ago, so there must be no money at this time, Du Jianfeng and Lin Xi have a little friendship, so don't even think about it, I must have borrowed it from someone."

Li Xiao'e made sense when she heard it, she thought to herself that she was talking too fast just now, so she closed her mouth and stopped talking, while Yu Ke, the wife of the third child, ate a few mouthfuls of food, wiped her mouth while no one was talking, and said: "Mother , since Du Jianfeng's family left, I have been doing all the laundry and cooking at home, shouldn't the second sister-in-law and you also share some of it?"

"I didn't do anything!" Li Xiao'e yelled as soon as she heard it: "Our Li'er will be a person who will be a scholar in the future, and we will go to chop firewood every day, and the farmer Zhongmin at home will also do it, and I will also do things at home, what else do you want? "

"I think Du Jianfeng's previous suggestion is good, each washes his own clothes, and cooks in turn." Yu Ke said.

Just as Li Xiao'e was about to speak, Wang waved her hand and said, "Stop talking, you can wash your clothes separately, so you won't have to yell all day."

Li Xiaoe glared at Yu Ke, and said nothing. Yu Ke is not a cheap lamp. She married Du Xiaomin because he had a talented father. Now that her father-in-law is gone, the family is getting worse and worse. A decent person doing so many things.Yu Ke's natal family is a hunter in the next village, and the family is not bad. She didn't do so many things when she was at home, so it's natural that she doesn't want to do so now.

This room, Du Jianfeng was very itchy after he bought the bow and arrow, and he kept thinking about hunting.When the family was eating breakfast, Du Jianfeng said: "Today I invited Huang Sheng to go hunting, and Wen Wen went with me. There is a lot of firewood on the mountain. Mother, you soak the rice I bought in well water for an hour and a half, and then Take it to Linxi’s house and grind it into a pulp, remember not to soak it for too long or too short.”

"Did you soak the rice?" He Xuelian was puzzled: "Then you can't cook, Fenger, what are you doing soaking the rice?"

"Mother, don't worry about it, I'll make something new for you tonight." Du Jianfeng said, and then said to Mu Jiangyu: "You make two more sets of clothes for yourself at home, and if I hunt pheasants, I'll bring them back Stew it for you to eat."

"Yeah." Mu Jiangyu nodded, and said: "Husband, be careful when hunting, and come back early."

"Okay." Du Jianfeng responded, and after dinner, he took Du Jianwen to find Huang Sheng. Huang Sheng was a little surprised when he saw that Du Jianfeng was really going to hunt, and he was still so well equipped. Before, he thought Du Jianfeng was joking, After all, they have been friends for more than ten years, and no one knows better than him whether Du Jianfeng would hunt before.

But the surprise was the surprise, Huang Sheng didn't say much, he just went back to the house to get the bow, arrow and hunting knife, and went up the mountain with Du Jianfeng and the two brothers.

The breeze on the mountain relieved a lot of the heat, and there were not many things coming out at the moment. Du Jianfeng simply helped Du Jianwen collect firewood while observing the movement, and picked some common herbs by the way, tied them up and put them in the back basket .

"Afeng, why are you putting the grass in the basket?" Huang Sheng asked strangely.

"That's a medicinal herb, not an ordinary weed."

"Do you still know medicinal herbs?" Huang Sheng looked at Du Jianfeng in disbelief and asked.

"Grandpa taught me when I was young." Du Jianfeng had no choice but to bring out his almighty grandfather. After hearing this, Huang Sheng had an expression of enlightenment on his face, and then said: "You know so many things, why did you learn at Du's house before?" Get angry, move out earlier, just relying on you, maybe the mother-in-law has married several times, and the children can run away."

"Don't." Du Jianfeng said with a smile: "It's enough to marry one, I can't bear any more."

"How can it be? A poor man can only marry one. Anyone with a little money will not have three wives and four concubines." Huang Sheng said: "In the future, if you become prosperous and know more people, even if you want to build a relationship, you still have to marry."

Du Jianfeng smiled and didn't answer his words. He always remembered that not long ago, he once ate the offal of a pheasant that he deliberately put down. Thinking about something, he asked Huang Sheng: "You have been hunting for so long, do you know this? Is there any large prey on the mountain?"

"Of course there are, but they are all in the deep mountains. There are tigers, wolves, wild boars and so on." Huang Sheng said disapprovingly: "However, there are not many of them that can be hunted. The big insects are too fierce, and wolves usually appear in groups. Yes, alas, village girl Wang and her family's father was killed by wolves."

Du Jianfeng nodded to show that he understood. The three of them walked and talked, and walked a little further into the mountain, but they didn't see any big things. They only hunted hares and pheasants. The two of them were not disappointed. After all, if they really met It's a big beast, and I don't know whether to be lucky or unlucky.

Seeing that it was getting late, Du Jianfeng carried a large bundle of firewood for Du Jianwen. He took out the medicinal herbs and put them on his body, and put the three pheasants he had hunted into the basket, and Huang Sheng took the hares away. When the time comes, we will divide up and go home.

"Mom, we're back!" Du Jianwen shouted before he got home: "Brother hunted three pheasants! We have meat to eat!"

He Xuelian came out of the house, took Du Jianfeng's pannier, saw that there were really three pheasants, and smiled on her face: "This should be worth 45 Wen."

"No more money, keep it for yourself." Du Jianfeng said: "Mom, you can deal with it."

If it was in the past, He Xuelian would definitely sell it for money, but now that Du Jianfeng is indeed capable of making money, He Xuelian didn't say any more, took the basket and dealt with it.

Mu Jiangyu heard the commotion outside the room, and rushed out to greet him. He saw Du Jianfeng unloading the firewood from his back, walked over to help him, wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and asked him: "Is your husband tired?"

"Not tired." Du Jianfeng shook his head. When he was in the army, cross-country running with heavy loads was a common occurrence, which was nothing to him.He reached out and stroked Mu Jiangyu's hair, and said, "I'll go and cook something delicious for you."

Among all the cakes he wants to make, cold cakes are the easiest. When he opened a restaurant in his previous life, he liked to eat cold cakes, and cold cakes are the most authentic in Sichuan, so they invited them from Sichuan. A master came to do it, which is very popular in the local area.

But now the conditions are limited, there is no rice cooker, and there are no machines, but fortunately, the water in the well in summer is much better than the water taken out of the refrigerator. It is cold and sweet, and it is the best water source for making cold cakes.

Du Jianfeng had been busy in the kitchen all afternoon, and when He Xuelian came to make dinner, he was still not finished. He Xuelian watched Du Jianfeng busy, and said, "Feng'er, you are so mysterious, what are you doing? Mother help?"

"No need, it will be ready right away, just wait and eat." Du Jianfeng kept moving his hands while answering He Xuelian's question.

Seeing that He Xuelian really couldn't get her hands in, she also let him go, and only concentrated on making dinner for the family.

After He Xuelian's dinner was finished, Du Jianfeng finally finished the cold cake. He put it in a porcelain bowl and served it to the dining table. He complained that there was no cooking here, so he didn't even have a plate, so he could only serve it in a bowl. , in fact, this cold cake looks good-looking and delicious, and it is more pleasing to the eye on a plate.

"Wow! Brother, what is this? Is this for food? It looks very beautiful!" Du Jianwen stared at the bowl of cold cake, his eyes glowed and asked Du Jianfeng.

Du Jianfeng said: "You all have a taste."

When Du Jianwen heard that his brother had spoken, he stopped being polite, and the other three also picked up a piece and started eating.

"Yeah!" Du Jianwen nodded frantically while eating: "It's delicious, bro, what the hell is this! How did you make it!"

Before Du Jianfeng could answer, Du Damin, who was always taciturn, also nodded and said: "It's really delicious, it's ice cold, and it's very comfortable to eat."

Seeing their reactions, Du Jianfeng felt relieved. He looked at Mu Jiangyu, who was eating a little, and smiled, "Why doesn't Xiaoyu talk, is it delicious?"

Mu Jiangyu nodded, and said happily: "It's very delicious, my husband is really amazing!"

"Feng'er, how did you know how to do this?" He Xuelian asked him suspiciously after eating.

It's really hard to answer this question, Du Jianfeng can only vaguely say: "Actually, I used to like to tinker with these things when I was free, and I will do other things, mother, I really can't tell you why you insist on me, Just stop asking."

Seeing that Du Jianfeng couldn't explain why, He Xuelian also gave up asking. Anyway, Du Jianfeng has given her enough surprises these days, and now to be honest, she already has a feeling that there may be more than that in her family's Fenger meeting. Well, it was her mother who ignored him before.

Seeing that He Xuelian didn't ask any more questions, Du Jianfeng said to everyone: "Tomorrow morning, Xiaoyu and I will go to the town to sell cold cakes. I made 50 yuan and brought them over to sell. I plan to see if it sells well. A lot, if no one buys it, we will eat some for ourselves and give some to Huang Sheng and others, and we will make other sales later, if it sells well, I will buy more rice tomorrow and come back to continue working."

"That's a good idea!" Du Jianwen was the first to agree: "Brother, don't worry, someone will definitely buy such a delicious thing! How much are you going to sell it for?"

"Three pennies." Du Jianfeng said: "After all, it's made of rice. If it's cheap, it won't be worth it, but if it's expensive, no one will buy it. Three penny is not too much, and ordinary people can afford it."

"I think it will work." Du Damin said: "Tomorrow you and your husband will try it out and see if it can be sold."

Du Jianfeng nodded. After eating, he hung two buckets in the well, sealed the prepared cold cakes in earthenware pots and put them in the well, so that the cold cakes brought up early in the morning would be fresh and cold. It will be delicious for sure.

The next morning, the two of them woke up early. Du Jianfeng carried fifty cold cakes, and Mu Jiangyu took two small benches. They left home for the town without having breakfast.

"Hey, Boss Du? Why are you going with your husband?" People from the same village stopped and asked when they saw them along the way. Everyone knew that they separated from the Du family, and many people in the village sympathized with them. There are also enthusiastic ones, but more people are more flattering to the Du family. At the beginning, Du Jianli had passed the entrance examination for children. Everyone knew that Du Jianli would continue to study next year. Maybe he could really be admitted as a scholar like his grandfather. .But Du Jianfeng is different, an honest man who only knows how to do things all day long, who has nothing to do to curry favor with him.

Du Jianfeng said as he walked, "Go to the town to sell some things."

"You still sell things?" The man was a little surprised: "What are you selling?"

Du Jianfeng saw his disdain, and said, "A little thing."

After finishing speaking, he ignored him and took Mu Jiangyu away.The town was very lively in the morning. The day's work had begun. People were coming and going. Du Jianfeng thought about it and decided to set up a stall on West Street. First, West Street was where Li Wei usually patrolled. Fang and the others are in West Street, and when they deliver herbs to them later, they can also sell his cold cakes.

The two came to West Street, found a place to sit down, Du Jianfeng wanted to train Mu Jiangyu, and said to him: "Xiaoyu, we can't sell just sitting, we have to shout."

Mu Jiangyu is naturally not afraid. If he can make money, he is afraid of shouting. He immediately shouted: "Selling cold cakes! Selling cold cakes! Fresh and delicious cold cakes! Guaranteed to be sweet!"

After shouting for a while, a middle-aged man came over and asked, "Little brother... Uh, little brother, what is your cold cake?"

"It's delicious! Do you want to come together?" Mu Jiangyu asked enthusiastically.

"How much is this one piece?"

"It's not expensive, three pennies." Mu Jiangyu said.

"Three Wen is not expensive?" The man frowned: "If it doesn't taste good, you will lose money."

Du Jianfeng knew that no matter where he was, it was not easy for people to accept new things, so he took out a large piece of cold cake that he specially made last night, cut a little bit and handed it to the man, saying: "Guest officer, what are you doing?" You can eat a little for free, if it’s not good, you don’t have to buy it, and you don’t need money.”

Hearing this, the man took the cold cake from Du Jianfeng and tasted it. Immediately, his eyes lit up, and he said, "This cold cake is not only strange in appearance, but also so delicious! Give me three pieces quickly, Take one piece back for my wife and son!"

"Okay!" Mu Jiangyu was very happy, and immediately filled the man with three pieces quickly, and there were already people in twos and threes around him. Seeing that the cold cake looked good, he asked, "Can we also eat it?" Do you want to try something new before deciding whether to buy it?"

"Of course! But after you taste this piece, you can't taste it again." Du Jianfeng said while cutting a piece for him.

The man was also captured by the delicious food after eating, and asked them: "Are you coming tomorrow?"

"Of course." Du Jianfeng said.

"Well, tomorrow I will bring my friends over, you must come!" After the man finished speaking, he bought another two yuan and left.Others who have tasted it all say it’s delicious, so they don’t worry about it right away, and buy what they want. Anyway, if it’s not delicious, it’s only three pennies. If it’s a big deal, they won’t buy it again. If it’s delicious, it’s worth it .

Once there are more people around this stall, it will be lively. The two of them were so busy that they didn't even finish the buns they bought, and they were busy introducing cold cakes and filling cold cakes to customers. The 50 yuan cold cake was sold out.
