"Get up, don't sleep." The next morning, before dawn, Xiao Shulin patted Luo Meng awake.

"It's fine to go back, let's get some more sleep." Romon had put in a lot of effort the night before, but he still felt a little tired right now.

"Leave early, it'll be cool in the morning." Xiao Shulin said and got out of bed to get dressed. When he bought clothes for Romon yesterday, he also bought a set for himself. He put the dirty clothes in a bag and washed them when he got home. .

"Do you have any discomfort?" Luo Meng tugged on Xiao Shulin's clothes, lying on the bed and looking sideways at him.

"No, why don't you get up?" You were like a beast last night, and now you have no energy?

"Get up." Romon quickly turned over and sat up: "I'll drive later." He knew that with Xiao Shulin's temperament, he would definitely not say anything even if he felt uncomfortable.

"No need." Xiao Shulin said and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

"If you're not feeling well..." Luo Meng spoke to him in a raised voice while putting on his clothes. Last night was the first time for Xiao Shulin. If you can get out of bed, that's pretty good.

"They say I'm very comfortable!" Xiao Shulin poked his head out of the bathroom with a mouth full of foam.Damn, just tell him to press him once, and you really treat him as a woman?

Romon was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately grinned again. Wearing slippers, he clattered up to Xiao Shulin, grinning like a wolf with a big tail: "Is it comfortable? Let's come back next time?"

Xiao Shulin twitched the corners of his mouth and continued to brush his teeth.next time?Next time I don't know who made who comfortable.

The two of them cleaned up and left the room after washing up. They went to the front desk to return the room card and get the deposit. Along the way, Luo Meng saw that Xiao Shulin was really in good spirits, and he didn't seem to be in any discomfort. My heart is relieved.

Xiao Shulin let him drive if he wanted to drive. Although Luo Meng didn't know why he was so energetic, it was probably either the effect of Lingquan or the talent of their family Xiaoshulin. Anyway, it was a good thing, and it was beneficial to their husband and wife life. Harmony and happiness.

They arrived at Yongqing around eight o'clock. Not far from the toll booth, they saw two young men dragging a big snake on the side of the road to sell to the owner of a small car, but the other party was obviously not very interested. , stopped to have a look, and soon drove away.

"Why are you selling it?" Xiao Shulin asked as soon as he pulled the truck to the side of the road. His father, Boss Xiao, is in good health recently, and it would be good to get him a big snake to supplement him.

"Five thousand." One of the young men with dyed yellow hair said.

"Five thousand? How many catties does it weigh?" Xiao Shulin leaned closer to look at the snake. It was quite big, but asking for five thousand was a bit tricky. After all, it was a cauliflower snake, not a rare species, and it was too common in their place. up.

"It's almost thirty catties, and I weighed it on an empty stomach." Another young man with an afro head said quickly.

"It's almost 200 yuan a catty. You think it's dragon meat. I'll take the 2000 yuan." Xiao Shulin readily cut the price by more than half.

"Where can you buy such a big snake for 2000 yuan? This thing has lived for a long time, but it is very delicate. You don't usually try to catch it. It was a coincidence last night. This guy is shedding its skin. Let us call it I bumped into it, 5000 yuan, you want it, don’t someone else want it.” This young man with yellow hair looks like he is good at bargaining.

"Do you think this snake is dying?" Luo Meng shook the snake's tail, but the cauliflower snake didn't even move. "Now that someone wants it, let's sell it for 2000 yuan. When it dies, let alone [-] yuan, you may not be able to sell it for [-] yuan."

The two young men looked at each other, and then the yellow hair said: "Three thousand."

"No, I'll give you an extra 200 yuan at most." Luo Meng had a serious expression on his face.

"Two thousand and five, you want it, don't pull it down." At this time, the afro spoke again.

Luo Meng also noticed that this kid was probably a little bit more tempered than that yellow donkey, and he probably couldn't discuss what he said now, so he took out the money bag for selling melons, counted out 500 yuan, and put I bought this snake and planned to take it back to honor my father-in-law.

Xiao Shulin didn't argue with him either. To be honest, he really didn't have 500 yuan in cash in his pocket at the moment, and these two young men couldn't let him swipe his card.

After the two of them bought the snake, they drove the truck to Xiao Shulin's transportation company, put the truck in the parking shed, and drove the car Xiao Shulin usually used to the blacksmith shop.

When they arrived at the blacksmith shop, Xiao Shulin walked in front, and Luo Meng followed behind with the snake on his back. They entered the Qingshi courtyard one after the other.In the shade of the yard, Aunt Ayun and her three daughters were embroidering with an embroidery frame, Boss Xiao was squatting by the well to wash vegetables, and Lin Bo was sitting on a blue stone bench talking to him.

"Yo! Snake!" One of the little girls who was not paying attention immediately saw Romon and the others enter the yard. The little girl's voice was full of complex emotions such as novelty, fear, surprise, and joy.

"What a big snake!" The other two little girls stopped working and gathered around to look at the snake.

"Be careful, don't tell her to get bitten." Aunt Ayun quickly reminded the three girls in her family that they have never seen snakes in the mountains, at most they have seen snakes in the zoo, and they are not foolish. How do you know you are afraid.

"It's okay, it's called a cauliflower snake, it eats mice, and it's not poisonous." Boss Xiao answered the conversation naturally.

"I haven't seen such a big cauliflower snake for many years. It's almost killing people." Lin Bo also said with emotion.

"Wild?" Boss Xiao looked at the snake over and over for a long time, then squinted his eyes and asked Xiao Shulin, this thing is the best for men.

"It should be right. I said I caught it when it was shedding its skin." Xiao Shulin didn't think the snake seemed to be bred, and besides, people in ordinary farms would not raise the snake to such a large size. After a certain level, the growth will be very slow, and it will not be cost-effective to keep it up.

"Uncle Xiao, are you going to eat it?" Apparently the chicken soup strategy had worked, Grandpa Guixian became Uncle Xiao.

"Where can it be? We have to protect wild animals." Boss Xiao said without thinking.

"Then let them be released? Did you buy it for a lot of money?" Aunt Ayun is in her 50s anyway, and she is not completely blind. She is a little embarrassed at the moment. One more word, this snake might be a pot of delicious snake soup tonight, although she has only been neighbors with Boss Xiao for a few days, but she can tell that this old man is quite delicious.

"Young people, what are they afraid of if they spend a few dollars? They can earn money after spending the money. It is their fate to meet this snake. How can it be killed?" Xiao The boss said something like that, as if he hadn't thought about skinning the snake, chopping it up, chopping it up and cooking it in a pot.

"Yeah, this snake has lived for a long time, and it has become spiritual. It can't be killed, it can't be killed." Lin Bo also spoke from the side.

In this way, a group of people got off the smithy together, crossed the road to the stream below, and released the cauliflower snake into the stream.The big snake got into the water and didn't move for a long time, as if dead.

Just when Xiao Shulin was about to say that it was dead or just eat it, the girl twisted her body and disappeared into the grass after a few strokes.Well, 500 yuan was wasted like this, and a thousand catties of watermelons were sold for nothing.

Boss Xiao's separation of love really made the three girls of Aunt Ayun's family have a much better impression of him. Will it be far?

"Your dad is really good!" On the way back to Niuwangzhuang, Luo Meng smiled and said to Xiao Shulin.

"Hey, the more than 2000 yuan is quite worth it." Xiao Shulin grinned. He didn't expect the old man to be able to pretend. If he wanted to let him see such a big piece of snake meat, he would have sharpened his knife a long time ago. Well, if I can bear it this time, it means that their old man really likes Aunt Ayun.

"If someone comes to rent a house these days, just keep an eye on them. Don't let any old man who is about the same age let them live in." Xiao Shulin then assigned a task to Romon.

"Don't worry, those over 40 and under 70 who are still single will not be accepted." Can you not care about the old man's affairs?

Everything in Niuwangzhuang was as usual, except that Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin went out for more than a day, and many people complained about the decline in food quality. Uncle Quangui and Luo Zhifang's craftsmanship was far worse than Xiao Shulin's.

Luo Meng wondered if he should invite a chef back after a while, instead of letting Xiao Shulin cook all the time.I didn't mention this in the past because he was afraid that Xiao Shulin would run away, and now that they all went to the city to deliver watermelons together, the relationship is different, and Luo Meng can relax a little bit.

But it's better to wait until the relationship between the two of them is a little stronger.

In the past two days, another batch of melons have begun to ripen one after another on the mountain, so the buffaloes on Niuwangzhuang have a good taste. When the watermelon was ripe before, they at most gnawed on the skin of the watermelon. Now the watermelon is ripe. Yes, the melon rind and melon meat belong to them all.

When Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin were free, they rode small tricycles and ran all over the mountains. When they saw ripe watermelons, cantaloupe, pears, vegetable melons, etc., they picked them all and transported them back to the courtyard, where they were stacked in a room downstairs. In the warehouse.

After a nap every day, they would pull hundreds of melons to the yard, and let those old men and women with good eyesight cut the melons to get the seeds.There are many ways to get seeds from melons, and Romon chose the most stupid and slowest way to get seeds by hand.

One reason is that his melon meat will be used to feed the cows, so it can’t be too disgusting, and the other reason is that there are quite a lot of old people in his yard. Recently, the corn harvest is almost finished, and there is not much work for them to do. .

A few days ago, a few old people came to ask Romon if they would stop using the corn after it was finished drying.Romon said it was all right, and he would keep going if he wanted to, there was still plenty of work.

These old people come in the morning and leave at night, and they pay 30 yuan a day. At the beginning, they only included one meal at noon. Later, Niuwangzhuang opened a business, and they went back after dinner.

These days, there are more people working in Niuwangzhuang. Every morning, they are pulled to the big buffalo dairy, and the shop can be crowded with a whimper. Luo Meng will not take them these two days, but Bring breakfast up the mountain directly from the store, so that if these old people come early in the morning, they will eat with them.

Although 30 yuan a day is not much, the sum of these people is quite considerable after a month. When Luo Meng calculated his salary in the first month, he was also taken aback.But just thinking that a small bottle of their honey can be sold for 1000 yuan, and he has been busy for a month and still hasn't earned his bottle of honey. Thinking of this, Romon let go.

The benefits of recruiting these old people to work are obvious. Over the past two months, Romon's reputation in the town has risen sharply, and it has been rumored that Romon is a good person. Who wants to say that Luo Meng Meng is a pervert, these old men and women will be the first to refuse.

The round melons were cut in half and stacked on the ground. The old people picked up half of the melons with hands wearing medical gloves, and swirled them with a spoon, and a piece of melon with seeds in the middle was dug out. .

Put the melon rind in the bucket beside it, hold the melon flesh in your hand, use the small round head on the handle of the spoon to pick out the melon seeds one by one, put a basin below it, and within a few minutes, you can give a melon After removing the seeds, put the seeded melon flesh and melon skin in a bucket, and when Romon and the others are milking the cows, they will be pulled out to feed the cows.

It has been several days since I returned to Niuwangzhuang, and those people on the forum are calling there every day, asking Romon to send them melons again.

Especially the ones I didn’t buy last time, it’s a pity, why did I forget the old men and old ladies in the cultural square, they all said that this time I should choose a remote place, the crematorium is very good, Ya’an Mingyuan Not bad either...

Luo Meng is also anxious, he asked Xiao Shulin twice, Xiao Shulin told him, wait a minute, there are not many melons left, why go to Tongcheng—what?Of course I did that!

Romon was roaring in his heart, but his face was still quite calm, and he said with a smile, that's ok, then we'll wait a few days before going.

That night when Luo Meng was sleeping, he vaguely heard some movement from Niuwangzhuang. The village is a little far away from Niuwangzhuang, and the terrain is undulating. Generally, the movement is not too loud to be heard, especially if the wind direction is wrong. Sometimes, I can't hear anything.

It was also because Luo Meng's ears were too sharp, and it was also because the woman's voice was too high-pitched. In short, he heard it this time, and was woken up. It's the middle of the night, and he doesn't know why.But Luo Meng wasn't too worried, Bu Yigua and his two apprentices lived there, nothing serious would happen, most likely it was a woman from the city who saw mice, cockroaches, geckos, spiders and so on and scared them .

Within a few minutes, Liu Ruhua over there called Luo Meng: "I caught a big snake, shall we roast it and eat it?" Even wild vegetables are not allowed to be picked in Niuwangzhuang, and private hunting is obviously not allowed. If you want to eat this snake, you need Romon's approval.

"Two thousand and five hundred yuan, pay first and then slaughter." Luo Meng yawned and replied lazily.
