Niu male

The day after Lao Zhou talked about selling soil with the old people, monk Huizhen went to Niuwang Village in person.

The meaning of the monk Huizhen is to open an independent online store in the Pagoda Temple, mainly for the patients who are currently living in the Pagoda Temple to sell things. Start with fat, and then slowly add something else.

At present, he wants the old people to go up the mountain to collect some pine needle soil to sell and sell it, and start slowly bit by bit. From a long-term perspective, it is better to sell flower seedlings, after all, the profit margin is bigger.

He came back to look for Lao Zhou, mainly for the seeds of Niuwangzhuang. Lao Zhou rarely sells seeds, and if he occasionally finds that there are many seeds of a certain crop, he basically asks Luo Xingyou to sell them in his online shop. up.

Now that the online store at the Pagoda Temple is about to open, at the beginning, I must have hoped that Lao Zhou could help increase popularity, so I wanted to get some Niuwangzhuang seeds to sell in the online store.This is naturally not a problem, and Lao Zhou agreed with one bite. Anyway, it's just that few seeds, where to put them for sale is not for sale.

"Planting flowers is a technical job." Lao Zhou took a sip of water from the tea mug and said solemnly.There is no way, this monk is too serious, Lao Zhou's usual tone is a bit suppressed, and he can't shake it.

"I have already discussed with several netizens on a related website. Those donors have expressed their willingness to provide us with technical support. In the early stage of planting, they will come here to personally guide." Monk Huizhen smiled.

"Oh, that's really great." Old Zhou thought, these big monks and young monks are really not out of touch with this Internet age.

"Then, I will trouble the benefactor with the matter of the seeds." After the matter was finished, the monk Huizhen said that he was about to leave.

"Hey, it's easy to talk about." Lao Zhou also stood up to see off the guests.

Old Zhou sent him all the way outside the courtyard, and then turned around and walked into the courtyard.

"I'm so tired of listening to this monk talk." Fatty Hou muttered while squatting on the porch while biting a cucumber.

"If everyone is like you, who can take him seriously?" Old Zhou said angrily.As a chef, Fatty Hou really does not lack skills, but skills alone are not enough if he wants to succeed in this society.

"If you are tired, you are tired of yourself. If you are pretending, you are pretending to be seen by others." Fatty Hou refused to accept it. Isn't that what the monks say, the four things are empty or something.

"What do you know, kid?" Old Zhou didn't bother to argue with him.

If Monk Huizhen had no influence, how could he manage the Pagoda Temple into what it is now in such a short period of time, and even built so many free houses for patients who have nowhere to go.

People without power can't accomplish anything, be it bad or good.Apart from the fact that the four elements are all empty, isn’t there a saying in Buddhism that if I don’t go to hell, whoever goes to hell will go to hell.

"Old Zhou, we don't seem to have anything good to eat today."

"Get some eggs to make do with it."

"There are already scrambled eggs with leeks at noon, what about evening?"

"How about eating noodles tonight?"

"If you do it this way, everyone will run away, and the corn and sweet potatoes on our mountain will not be collected."

"... Let's roast the whole chestnut chicken at night."

"real!"

"Oh."

"Then I'll take a look at the little rooster first, and I have to tell Dajun's wife."

"..."

Fatty Hou went to those little roosters, and Lao Zhou was squatting on the porch alone, forgetting about the regret in his heart. If he had known this morning, he shouldn’t have felt sorry for the money for the pork. His little cocks were comparable to Xiaotupo’s Pork is much more expensive, especially with the addition of tender chestnuts that have just come down this year.

A few more days passed by, and that night, the food at Niuwang Village was very ordinary, the only meat dish was fish-flavored shredded pork, which used ordinary pork bought from the vegetable market in the town.

While eating, some people couldn't help but started to mutter. Didn't they hear that Niuwangzhuang was short of manpower recently, and Lao Zhou was working hard on the food, and there were little soil slopes almost every day They ate pork over there, and they ate chestnut roast chicken a few days ago, so greedy that they rushed to Niuwangzhuang, but today's food made them a little disappointed...

"We're going to start frying hemp balls outside the yard. After dinner, everyone go over and get a bunch." At this time, Lao Zhou said and entered the cafeteria.

As soon as Lao Zhou finished speaking, the atmosphere of disappointment disappeared immediately.

"Ow!"

"I just said that today's food seems to be a bit different from the previous few days."

"Hemp balls, one per person!"

"Haha, I still think that Lao Zhou wants to talk about it."

"Our old Zhou has been much more generous recently."

"Old Zhou, how many balls are there in a bunch?" Someone raised his voice and asked.

"Five." Lao Zhou raised his hand to show his five fingers, and now he was sitting at Xiao Shulin's table, chewing a chopstick of shredded fish-flavored pork in his mouth, let alone The pork bought in the vegetable market is indeed inferior in taste compared to the pork from Luo Hanliang's family.

Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, but be afraid of comparing goods. After eating good pork, eating this pork will not taste good. Otherwise, it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality.But it's also helpless, Luo Hanliang's pork is too expensive, Lao Zhou has to find ways to save himself, otherwise it will be too much.

Like today's mochi ball, when he tried frying it just now, he tasted one. It was crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, sweet and delicious, and wrapped in various flavors of bean paste. It was not small in size, it was really delicious and kind .

But for the owner of Lao Zhou, delicious food is of course also very important, but the most important thing is to be affordable.

The essence of this hemp ball is the glutinous rice, which is all millet pulled from the old man Luo. In a short time, this year's new millet should come down, and the remaining millet from last year should also be cleared by now. It's the stage, it's time to shell and shell, and eat everything.

In addition, some fat lard produced by Niuwangzhuang is added to the ingredients of this sesame ball. The sesame ball with this lard is really fragrant when fried, but in terms of quantity, this lard is not much use .

In addition, there are some ordinary rice and ordinary flour, sugar, beans, white sesame, cooking oil, etc., all of which do not cost much. Compared with Luo Hanliang's pork, it is a drop in the bucket.

In order to make it delicious and save ingredients, Fatty Hou adjusted the ratio of the recipe several times. Of course, he didn't do it in vain. In order to get this recipe, Lao Zhou promised to invite him and Liu Ruhua to eat cakes for a month. Fatty Hou can be regarded as making money. , Of course, Lao Zhou didn't suffer much.

After a while, a burst of sweet smell came from outside the yard, and some people who were eating fast went to the yard one after another.

Fatty Hou and several skilled workers under him are in charge of frying the sesame balls. They have already had dinner in advance. At this time, the division of labor and cooperation is orderly. Fatty Hou is the commander-in-chief. Yes, there is someone who is in charge of stringing...

After eating, everyone went to the yard to get their share of sesame balls. Lao Zhou was not in a hurry. He had already greeted Fatty Hou and the others just now. It all belongs to him. There are so many puppies on the mountain in their house, and all of them are very greedy.

In the next hour, after Lao Zhou finished his meal, he chatted with Chen Guanshi and the others about the work arrangements for the next few days.

Xiao Shulin washed all the dishes and chopsticks of his family of three. After washing, he sat there with a clean dishcloth and wiped them slowly. Even the chopsticks were wiped dry one by one. He was not in a hurry. Anyway, Luo Meng also said that there must be a lot of hemp balls today, and the rest of them belong to their family.

The monkey boy ran back and forth in the yard several times, looking anxious, Romon and Xiao Shulin couldn't help laughing, but when they arrived in the yard for a while, they couldn't laugh anymore up.

"Is that all left?" Lao Zhou stared blankly at the few hemp balls left in the basket.

"Woof..." There was a group of puppies whining at his feet begging for food.

"Father." Houwazi tugged on Xiao Shulin's trouser legs.

"...If it doesn't work, just cut it into smaller pieces, share a small piece with each person and taste the taste." Xiao Shulin didn't have any good ideas.

"..." Houwazi looked down at the puppies all over the floor of their house, then looked up at the few hemp balls scattered in the basket, and fell silent.

"It's okay, look at me." Lao Zhou patted the back of their Houwazi's head, blamed him for talking too much before, which made Houwazi and Xiao Shulin very disappointed at the moment, don't look at Xiao Shulin not caring That way, just this kind of hemp balls, he can easily eat a dozen or twenty at a time, but the few in the basket are not enough for him to squeeze between his teeth.

"Hey, Xiao Xu, this way." Old Zhou Chong waved repeatedly to Xu Er who had just come down the stairs and was about to go to the corridor outside the yard.

"Me?" Xu Er just took a shower, changed into a clean sportswear, took his own string of hemp balls, and walked while eating. When he heard Lao Zhou's voice, he thought he was following him. When other people spoke, the tone was indescribably kind, and when they looked up, they were actually waving at him.

"Xiao Xu, come here, let me tell you something." Lao Zhou beckoned him to go to the cafeteria together.

"What's the matter?" Xu Er was confused by him.

"..." Houwazi also had a curious expression on his face, and he raised his foot to follow.

"You don't want to go." Xiao Shulin reached out and picked him up. The baby is still too young, so don't follow suit so quickly.

in the cafeteria.

"That's right, what about you later..." Lao Zhou told Xu Er his plan like this.

"Isn't that a partner deceiving people?" Xu Er reacted greatly.

"How can this be called a lie? It's because you've only been here in Niuwangzhuang for a short time, and everyone doesn't know you well enough." Old Zhou said eloquently.

"No! I can't do this." Xu Eryi said seriously.

"Xiao Xu, do you still owe me 20 yuan?" Old Zhou said.

"...The money will be returned to you after I receive my salary." Xu Er was a little weak.

"Although it's just a formality, the hemp ball you won is still yours, and you don't care about the 20 yuan." Lao Zhou threw out the bait.

"..." Xu Er wavered.

"Then it's settled." Lao Zhou made a decision immediately without saying a word.

"It's not good to do this..." This is obviously someone who has never done anything bad.

"What's the matter, it's just a joke with everyone, for entertainment." Lao Zhou told him that this is not a bad thing at all.

"That's right..." Xu finally waved the white flag to the little devil in his heart. There was no way, this hemp ball was delicious, and he could eat five more so easily, he really couldn't refuse.

Ten minutes later, Lao Zhou set up a stall on the promenade. He hung a stainless steel bowl cover on the edge of the canopy, and then drew a line on the promenade not far away: "Come here, buy a Pay five, as long as you hit the bowl cover, you will pay five hemp balls."

"Old Zhou, how dare you open a casino without the principal?" It's not so easy for these people to be fooled, mainly because Lao Zhou's reputation in this area is not very good.

"This is a decision to do business without money!"

"Son, eat quickly, just a few hemp balls, don't be coaxed back by Lao Zhou again."

"Old Zhou, can you hit yourself?"

"What's the matter, isn't it itchy?"

"All of you, hold on to me, don't be fooled by him again in a while."

"..." These people were talking all over the place, but no one was willing to give Lao Zhou a sesame ball.

"Why can't you hit it? Look at it." Lao Zhou said, picked up the slingshot, and heard a "clang", and a watermelon seed hit the bowl lid accurately.

After Lao Zhou, Xiao Shulin's monkey boys also showed their skills. Recently, they were chasing birds at Li Zilin, and they practiced a lot. In addition, they were stimulated by Xu Er two days ago, and they practiced harder these days. , although it is still not as good as Xu Er, but it is no problem to make a bowl cover at this distance.

After Lao Zhou's family of three made demonstrations one after another, the guys who had made up their minds and refused to be fooled finally wavered a little, but it was only wavering.

"Let me try." Xu Er stood up at this time.

"Okay, try it." Old Zhou said cheerfully.

"Qiang." Letting Xu Er hit a bowl cover at such a distance is really like playing, so he successfully took five hemp balls from Lao Zhou's basket.

"I'll try too." After Xu Er, some people finally couldn't hold back.

"Okay, just one chance." Lao Zhou said and handed the slingshot and watermelon seeds to him.

"..." After the watermelon seed was punched out, it flew to nowhere without making a sound.

"I'll come, I'll come." Once the curiosity and desire to win were aroused, it was really unstoppable. Lao Zhou just stood aside leisurely, and when one came up, he handed them slingshots and watermelon seeds. Then you will win back a Ma ball.

The won mochi balls were conveniently fed to the waiting puppies. The puppies were very obedient and waited in line one by one, eating the mochi balls in turn. Their black eyes were full of joy. In addition to anticipation and admiration, their master is really amazing!

Lao Zhou was also smiling at this time, and he was very proud of himself. See how technically he dug the hole. He can't let them easily hit it, but also let them see that he can actually hit it... Tsk tsk.

"I'll come, I'll come." Rose also came up at this time.

"Why did you go down the mountain?" Old Monday saw this guy, and his smile froze on his face.

"I heard that there are sesame balls, so I went down the mountain. Luckily, I asked Fatty Hou to leave two strings for us in advance." Rose said, and put the two strings of sesame balls in her hand into the basket, and then stretched out her hand to Lao Zhou. Want a slingshot and watermelon seeds.

"Even Wang Xiaochen's share?" Lao Zhou was thinking in his heart while talking, if he suddenly said that he would close the stall at this moment...

"It's all bet." For this gamble, Rose is still very confident. If there is any accident, he will tell Wang Xiaochen that he missed it, Hou Fatty didn't leave it for them, and he didn't get the hemp ball. Sorry guys...

"Clang!" Accidents don't always happen.

"Hey, you don't have fifty here. It's far away. Let me see, why are there only six? No matter, you owe me 44 hemp balls. Don't forget." Rose said, picking up the Zhiluo left, he had to hurry up the mountain, otherwise it would be dark.

"Hey...they broke up, the casino closed down." Those who watched the excitement also dispersed in a crowd, and they were all smiling, obviously gloating.

"Woof..." The puppies still don't understand what happened.

"The hemp balls are gone." Houwazi knelt down and patted their heads.

"Woo..." But it hasn't eaten yet.

"..." Houwazi looked back at Lao Zhou and Xiao Shulin, what should these puppies who haven't eaten the balls do?

"I owe it first." Xiao Shulin said regretfully. He knew that he should have eaten a few just now, so he didn't eat any of them now.

"Old Zhou, let's make mochi balls tomorrow." Someone next to him suggested.

"Yeah, this game is very interesting, let's continue playing tomorrow." Someone immediately echoed.

"Don't play anymore. After passing this village, there will be no such shop. Why did you both go there just now?" Lao Zhou said, reaching out to undo the lid of the bowl hanging under the canopy. Do you think he is stupid? If the guy starts practicing now, his shooting percentage will definitely be much higher tomorrow night than tonight.

But this is not the key point. These guys' hit rate has increased, and he can actually extend the distance a little bit. After a day of practice, these guys must be more uncontrollable than tonight and want to jump into the pit.

——The key question is, if you still make hemp balls tomorrow, Rose will definitely have to go down the mountain.
