rebirth all over again

Don't be greedy, kids, it's New Years after Laba.Laba porridge, in a few days, lili lala 23. 23, sticky melons; 24, house cleaning day; 25, fried tofu; 26, stewed white meat; 27, slaughtered rooster; 28, steamed noodles; ; Thirty children stay up all night; go to New Year's Day on the first day of the new year.

It’s just that Chen Xiaoyun and the others are not so troublesome. For some reason, no one on their side has ever had Laba, and they don’t know how to cook Laba porridge, nor can they steam steamed buns, so 28, make noodles; 29, steamed buns; these have nothing to do with them .

23. Tangguaer is sticky. Grandma Chen made a lot of candy again this day.

On this day, not only Grandma Chen made stove candy, but also an old man who specially fried popcorn came from the village, carrying a popcorn machine that was not too big and not too heavy, as well as a stove, box sealing, dry wood charcoal and A round iron bucket containing popcorn, covered with a long cloth bag.They began to sing from house to house and yelled: "Fried -- popcorn -- oh, 2 cents -- a pot~~~~~" Immediately, there were women and children in twos and threes holding a scoop of golden yellow He took a bamboo sieve, a bamboo basket, etc. in one hand, and came to the old man.

The old man took the corn and used a medium-sized enamel teapot as a standard. One teapot was a pot, and then poured it into a popcorn machine with a temperature gauge at one end, an elliptical column in the middle, and a roller at the other end. The lid was sealed. Put it on the stove, shake the popcorn machine with one hand, the purpose is to shake it back and forth to mix the corn in the belly of the machine evenly, and pull the bellows with the other hand to support the combustion of the fire, making the fire blazing.In about 5 minutes, check the temperature gauge to a certain height, turn off the fire immediately, take down the popcorn machine, support it on an iron shelf, use an iron bucket to tightly cover the outside of the popcorn body, and immediately step on the popcorn with an iron rod Inside the fuselage, like a well-killing lever, one foot is stepped on hard, only to hear a loud "boom--", the belly of the popcorn machine is wide open, and the hot air pressure burns the popcorn inside. He rushed to the top of the long cloth bag attached to the iron bucket, shook the cloth bag open, and a burst of fragrant popcorn came out first, and then it could be displayed in front of everyone.

From the sensory point of view, a teapot of corn can fill a bamboo basket after being poured out. After puffing, it will be at least several times larger than the original volume, which is very gratifying to look at; Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Although it is not as soft and delicious as it is, it is still sweet and chewy. The rice grains are large and catchy, but the corn skin is not soft, and it is a bit chewy.

At this time, the person who exploded the popcorn will give everyone present a handful to try it out, and then they will explode it again... Therefore, whenever the old man who exploded popcorn comes to the village, adults and children will welcome it very much No matter how poor people are, they will fry one pot and two pots.

This year, Chen Xiaoyun's family fried two catties of corn and rice crackers, enough to last for a long time.

The aroma of the popcorn after frying was overflowing. Chen Xiaoyun grabbed a handful and put it in his mouth. It was full of fragrance, full of sweetness but also cloyingly sweet, making you want to eat it even after eating it.I don't know how many times better than the popcorn fried with butter and chocolate in the city later.

"Grandma, I'll give some to Grandpa Xi's house." Chen Xiaoyun packed a bag and prepared to take it to Xi Mohan. He knew that Grandpa Xi's house never fried popcorn. There are no children.

"Get more, and get some of the rice balls as well." Rice balls are fried with glutinous rice. Usually, there are children aged 1 or 2 in the family who will fry a lot. After soaking in boiling water, they will become rice paste for children. child eats.

Families without children just fried and cut into rice crunchy candies. This year, Grandma Chen made fried rice crunch balls and cut into rice crunchy candies.

When Chen Xiaoyun came to Grandpa Xi's house, Grandpa Xi had gone to herd sheep on the mountain. This year he had sold some big sheep, and now there are only lambs and ewes left.

Only Xi Mohan was at home, looking at the things in Chen Xiaoyun's hand, he didn't say a word, but motioned him to sit down, Chen Xiaoyun had gotten to know him well these days, and knew his personality.

"Hey, try it, freshly fried popcorn" Even though Xi Mohan is a man, he loves sweets very much. Chen Xiaoyun didn't know it at first, and thought he didn't like sweets just like Grandpa Xi.

One day, Chen Xiaoyun brought some stove candy. He was not very familiar with him at the time, so he politely asked him if he would eat it. As a result~ he took it without saying a word and ate it~ After eating, Chen Xiaoyun was a little confused at the time , he was just asking politely... In the end, he really ate it.

After eating, he still stared at him, obviously asking if he had any more?There was no other way, Chen Xiaoyun could only take them all out and put them on the table to eat together.

Then he prepared something to practice calligraphy for a while, and when he was ready, he went to get the candy, but he didn't get it. He looked up, damn it, it was gone, the one over there was wiping his hands gracefully with a tissue... ..

At that time, Chen Xiaoyun felt like a ghost...

From then on, Chen Xiaoyun knew that he was a big foodie who loved sweets, and he didn't have the fairy spirit when they first met.

Xi Mohan's mouth was slightly open, but his eyes were not opened from the book. It seemed that he was waiting for Chen Xiaoyun to feed him.

"My dear uncle, if you want to eat, take it yourself. I'll bring it to you. If you want me to feed you, there's no way." Chen Xiaoyun saw that he wanted to eat and had to feed himself, but he didn't want to.

"English" Xi Mohan glanced at him lightly.

Fuck, and threatened others to come, okay!He was threatened, and now he was needed.

Ever since he became familiar with him, Chen Xiaoyun brought his aunt's English books to Xi Mohan to teach him, and he also has a tape machine, and he also brought an English tape. Chen Xiaoyun now learns English from him in addition to practicing brush calligraphy every day .

"I can't eat any more, this bloating stomach, if you eat too much, you won't be able to eat later." Chen Xiaoyun fed him a little and then stopped feeding him. After hearing this, he reluctantly stopped eating.

"Will I catch pheasants after I finish practicing calligraphy?" Chen Xiaoyun saw that he stayed at home every day to read and didn't go out to play, so he wanted to take him to the mountains to catch pheasants.

"Are you sure you can catch a pheasant, not a pheasant that catches you?" Xi Mohan doubted that this little guy could catch a pheasant.

"Hmph, try it and you'll know." Chen Xiaoyun is so arrogant, she doesn't trust me, I'll make you admire me later, hum o(￣ヘ￣o#)

After Chen Xiaoyun practiced calligraphy for two hours, Chen Xiaoyun went home and took a backpack, and after talking to his family, the two went up the mountain.

"Come back early," Grandma Chen said to Xi Mohan again, "You and your grandpa come home for dinner at noon."

"Okay, thank you Third Grandma." Seeing that such a big little guy was carrying such a big backpack, Xi Mohan took it and hung it on his back.

Chen Xiaoyun thought it was funny when he saw him hanging on the basket, but for the sake of someone's face, he held back.

"What are you doing with the thing?" "Post-pheasant hare or something"

"Tch, are you sure you can really catch it"

"What if I get caught"

"If you really catch me, I'll give you the tape machine"

"Are you sure" "OK"

"Okay, and those English tapes and your English dictionary." Chen Xiaoyun had been coveting his things for a long time.

"it is good"

The two talked all the way to the forest of Chen Xiaoyun's house.

Walking into the woods, Chen Xiaoyun used his supernatural powers to perceive where there were pheasants and rabbit nests.After walking for a long time, he felt a pheasant. Chen Xiaoyun pretended to be pulling the thatch beside him, but in fact, he secretly activated his ability to wrap the pheasant around the thatch and vines to make it unable to fly.

There was a pheasant crowing in front of them, and the two quickly ran over to scrape the thatch in front, and there were two pheasants entangled inside.

"Haha, look, I said I can catch it." Chen Xiaoyun grabbed the pheasant and shouted at Xi Mohan.

"You were just lucky this time, next time I don't believe there will be such a good thing waiting for you to pick it up." Xi Mohan looked at his embarrassed look, thinking that it must be luck this time.

"You're really right. I'm lucky. Let me tell you. I can pick them up every time I go up the mountain. When they see me coming, they won't run away. I'll pick them up." Chen Xiaoyun put her hands on her hips. Said half-truthfully.

"If you can still find it, I'll believe you." It seemed that he just didn't believe Chen Xiaoyun's words.

"Hmph, today I will let you open your eyes and let you worship."

"Hmph, I'll wait and see"

Chen Xiao was angry and seriously looking for prey, he planned to show Xi Mohan today, to see if he still doesn't believe his words o(￣ヘ￣o#)

Along the way, Chen Xiaoyun used his abilities to catch four pheasants, and also picked up a nest of hares, which were supposed to stay in the nest.

Chen Xiaoyun found a tree vine. On the surface, he used the tree vine to dig it out. In fact, he used supernatural powers to give birth to the tree vine. There were only two rabbits in this litter. They were probably wild rabbits that had just started a family. Kiss me in the nest When I was preparing to give birth to little rabbits, misfortune fell from the sky. Their happy nest was destroyed by a tree vine from nowhere, and they had to escape through the hole on the other side.

It's a pity that they met the cruel Chen Xiaoyun. He originally wanted to show off in front of Xi Mohan, so he had already put a pocket on the other side of the hole, and asked Xi Mohan to keep it there, and tighten the pocket when the rabbit came out.

Originally, Xi Mohan held on to it suspiciously, but a rabbit got into his pocket after a while, so he quickly tightened the pocket to prevent the rabbit from running away.

Chen Xiaoyun retracted the ability to change the tree and vine back to its original state, walked into Xi Mohan's side and opened the pocket to see two hares.

Where is Xi Mohan with her waist in her hands, hahaha laughed and said, "It's time to believe it now."

Xi Mohan also smiled when he saw his embarrassment, but he really admired him, his luck is really good "I believe it"

"Worship" "Worship"

"Which tape drives, tapes, and dictionaries are all mine?" Chen Xiaoyun still remembers this

"Yes, yes, it's all yours." Xi Mohan said helplessly. He put the hare's pockets tightly so that the hare would not run out, put them in the pheasant basket, and carried the basket on his back.

"Let's go, it's already noon, your grandma should call us for dinner later"

"Well, let's go"

"In the evening, I asked grandma to kill a pheasant and a hare. You and your grandpa will come to our house to eat."

"I don't care, you can tell my grandfather yourself"

"As long as you tell him to drink with my grandpa, he will definitely agree."

The two talked while walking on the way home...

"Wait, don't move." Chen Xiaoyun noticed something in the woods next to him, and asked Xi Mohan to stand still, and walked slowly over to take a look at the thatch.

Hey, I'm so lucky today, there is actually a silly bun inside.

Chen Xiaoyun yelled, and the silly spore squatted there motionless, and Chen Xiaoyun hurried over to hug it.

Xi Mohan kept staring at his movements, and walked over as soon as he saw his movements, and saw Chen Xiaoyun sitting on the ground hugging an animal, but he didn't know what kind of animal it was.

"What kind of animal is this?"

"It's silly spores"

"..." Chen Xiaoyun knew from his expression that he didn't know what a silly spore was, so she explained it to him.

"This is the kind of silly spores. They are very stupid. They will be stunned when they hear noises and don't run or talk. When chasing roe deer, if you are tired from running and stop to rest, the roe deer will be waiting for you not far away. When you rest enough and continue to chase, it will continue to run. Of course, the roe deer runs very fast and will not chase easily. If you find that you are no longer chasing when you are running away, you will go back to the original place to find out. Exactly This "single tendon" habit makes them often caught by people. And if you can knock down one of the roe deer in groups, the others will watch you not far away, and some will even come closer to watch you. All of them hunt a lot Hunters like to shoot this kind of silly spores."

"That's really stupid." Xi Mohan kicked the spores on the ground with his foot.

"How do I get it back?" Seeing such a big spore, Xi Mohan thought about how to get it away. He was carrying a pheasant and a hare on his back. How could he be carrying this stupid spore? Chen Xiaoyun is too small, let alone impossible It moved.

"It's simple, use a tree vine to lead it back." Chen Xiaoyun asked him to cut a kudzu vine at the side, put it around the neck of the silly spore, and it will follow when it is led in front.

Xi Mohan was carrying a pheasant and a hare on his back. Seeing Chen Xiaoyun holding the silly spore and singing excitedly in front of him, he smiled, thinking that this little guy's luck was really against the sky. He remembered his grandfather said that wild game is actually very difficult now. Yeah, the pheasant flew away when it heard the sound, and the hare would burrow into the hole, that is to say, he was a soldier in the army, and sometimes he could catch a pheasant, but it was only occasionally, not like the little one, who could catch it every time. And still waiting for him to catch it.

This luck is really extreme......
