Embracing the ancient times with roses

The next morning, when Lixiu woke up, he touched the bed. Da Zhuang was no longer going out, and he felt a little cold when he touched it. How early he woke up. He lay down for a while, thinking that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival , maybe someone will come later, so let's get up and tidy up!

After he got up, he folded the quilt, and when he put it down, he saw that Da Zhuang had tidied up the house, and the rice was in the pot. Also, he found that the donkey cart behind the house was missing, thinking that it seemed that Da Zhuang had something to go out Seeing that I fell asleep again, I didn't wake myself up, it's quite a problem.

He added food to the living creatures in the house one by one, went to the toilet to fill the backwater, then returned to the house, went into the kitchen and sat down on a small stool by the stove, and then began to eat his breakfast, which was millet porridge , just with steamed buns and salted duck eggs, there are probably not many families in the whole village who eat so well as they do!

Generally, people exchange eggs and duck eggs for money, but his family, Da Zhuang, would not let him do this, saying that these are left to him, he is too thin, and Da Zhuang always thinks that Lixiu’s original home It must not be an ordinary family, it must be a rich family, not to mention the food, clothing, and clothes, he has never seen it since he grew up, so he must be right, even if Lixiu said he was an orphan , but the place of life is also very rich.

There is nothing delicious at home, just a little, eggs and duck eggs, if he doesn't let Li Xiu eat them, it's too unreasonable, not to mention anything else, his treasures are enough to buy as many eggs , so he must cultivate his body well, and when he is in good health, he will not get sick easily, which is better than anything else. (Actually, it was mainly the first time. When the two of them were doing something, Li Xiu had a fever for several days. It scared him, and he thought that Li Xiu's body was too weak and he had to take good care of it.)

After Li Xiu finished his meal, he started to clean up the house. This is already his habit. He first cleaned up the ingredients for noon. He had already prepared the meat yesterday. He wanted to make a braised meal for Da Zhuang. Meat, but at this time the meat still cannot be stored for too long, so it has to be bought and eaten at any time, or it will spoil, and the only way to prevent it from spoiling is to make it into bacon or bacon.

In his previous life, he was a northerner. He was not very good at cooking bacon, but he was good at making bacon. He even thought about making bacon, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Lixiu was busy preparing the Mid-Autumn Festival lunch at home, Da Zhuang was not idle at the other end, he was carrying prey to the car by himself, he did not expect Lixiu's method to be so effective, just a few pits, just After being able to catch so many prey, the wild fruits and delicacies he picked had no place to put them, so he had to carry the pannier on his back, and he didn't make it easy for the prey, they were all tied up with ropes, In order to prevent them from escaping, he even filled the sacks with wild fruits that he had brought in advance with prey. He parked the donkey cart at the foot of the mountain, but the donkey was not idle, and followed him down the mountain one after another. Carrying prey, the tired donkey barks.

Li Xiu never came here again, if he was here, he would definitely say: 'I just know how to eat, I don't work, if I get in a hurry, I'll sell you and exchange a cow. Da Zhuang loaded all the prey into the cart and pulled them home. Their house was near the foot of the mountain, and they arrived in a short while. When he entered, Li Xiu was carrying firewood into the house. He put down the firewood and came to him. When he saw the car full of prey, he was very surprised, a car full of prey!

In fact, it’s not his fault, he’s staring wide-eyed. In modern times, he’s seen these prey on TV, and the rest is the first time he’s seen such a full truck in the zoo. arrive.

Seeing him standing there stupidly, Da Zhuang was amused: "Daughter-in-law, you have a good idea. Look at all of these we caught. By the way, there is a wild boar weighing more than 100 catties in the pit. I will call it later. Let's get him out, how about we kill him and eat him?"

Li Xiu nodded. With the two of them like this, it is impossible to get the pig weighing more than 100 catties back. The help of the big guy is needed. His family is big and strong, so he has no objection, but if the pig is pulled to If it is sold in the town, it will cost a lot of money, right?

Seeing him like that, Da Zhuang knew that he was thinking about money. His daughter-in-law is good at living, so he couldn't help asking: "Brother Xiu, what are you thinking?"

Li Xiu came back to his senses and said, "Brother Zhuang, let's get the wild boar out, and after killing it, give half of it to the villagers. Let's take the remaining half to the town and sell it. It will definitely sell for a lot of money. Besides, don't we have so much wild game in our house, enough for us to eat for a while, what do you think?"

"But I want to keep it for you to eat?" Da Zhuang was a little reluctant.

Li Xiu said with a smile: "What's the matter? Our family will catch them in the future, so we can keep them for food. Besides, we have the technology of traps, are you afraid that we will have no meat to eat in the future?"

When Da Zhuang heard it, as long as there was meat for his wife to eat, he would have no other opinions. He nodded and helped unload all the prey from the car. Li Xiu looked at these things and twitched. This is really a hodgepodge Ah, pheasant, hare, not to mention, there is even a deer, but it is a bit small, it seems that it was born not long ago, and there is a roe deer, but it is a pity that it has died.

Da Zhuang took all these prey out of the car and put them on the ground. Li Xiu saw that there were more than ten pheasants, so he discussed with Da Zhuang to send them to the chicken coop at home first. In order to prevent them from running away, Li Xiu I went straight into the house and took the scissors, and cut off the wings of the pheasant and the seven wild ducks. The legs were also tied with ropes, and they were not loosened.The little deer tied it up first and put it in the donkey pen. Let's be with the donkey first. The roe deer will also be dragged to the town to sell in a while.

After everything at home was arranged, Da Zhuang left and started ringing the bell when he reached the door. Hearing the ringing of the bell, Li Xiu remembered the scene in the movie he acted in in modern times. After that, I saw everyone coming in twos and threes. When I arrived at the door of Da Zhuang's house, I saw Da Zhuang briefly told everyone that he caught a wild boar on the mountain. I hope everyone can help get the pig out of the way. Come back, kill, and satisfy everyone's greed.

As soon as everyone heard it: "What's the point of this, let's go now, get it back early, good morning, kill the wife and children to satisfy their greed in the evening."

One said so, and there were others who followed. After a while, they saw the big guy, and then dispersed. They went home and took the tools, and then came back to meet with the big guy, and then went up the mountain with the big guy. Zhuang is a good person, he is not picky, such a person is worthy to be the village head."

Li Xiu listened beside him, feeling warm in his heart. This is the only way to encounter such a thing in this simple ancient village. If it were in modern times, hmph, it would be impossible even in dreams. Modern people are much more selfish How can I share it with everyone, even if I walk along the road and meet someone who has fallen, no one dares to help them, for fear of being blackmailed, let alone sharing a pig with everyone selflessly.

Lixiu was running around there, and the rest of the villagers came to Lixiu consciously, Jiang Feng said: "Brother Xiu, you didn't know our rules when you first came here, everyone is very enthusiastic, and I didn't see him. Be there, Da Zhuang is like this, he never hides anything from the big guys, so don’t be angry, if you have any objections, those of us who don’t work, don’t discriminate, it’s okay.”

Li Xiu listened: "You guys misunderstood, I just haven't seen this kind of situation happen before, in the past, the meat bought at home was slaughtered, as long as you buy it with money, it's really the first time this kind of thing happened , I'm... a little... not used to it."

The big guy heard it: "So Brother Xiu, he was a brother of a wealthy family since he was a child. Naturally, he has never seen such a thing. When it happens in the future, you just get used to it."

Li Xiu nodded and didn't speak. Only Jiang Feng knew that Li Xiu was an orphan. He sighed and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him. Li Xiu raised his head and smiled and said, "Thank you."

Jiang Feng shook his head, "What do we have to do with each other, it will be far away if we talk about that."

Li Xiu nodded, and stood honestly on the side, waiting for Da Zhuang and the others to come back. Da Zhuang and the others left very quickly, and within an hour, people came back. The main reason was that there were so many people, and the pig was already dead. So I didn't use them to mess around, and everyone was anxious to go home so that they could kill and eat meat.

Seeing that Da Zhuang and the others had come back, Li Xiu didn't stay long, said hello to Da Zhuang, and went home. He had never seen pig slaughter before, but he knew the bloody ones. He looked uncomfortable, so he went home. Tell Da Zhuang to come back early, and he will send the meat to the town to sell later.

Da Zhuang nodded: "Don't worry, there are many people, and it will be over in a while."

Only then did Lixiu go home with peace of mind, and packed up his own dinner. It seemed that he didn't have much time to prepare lunch, and besides, Da Zhuang was going to deliver meat to the town soon.

Da Zhuang and the big guy left. They did not kill the pigs in front of their house. The pigs were sent directly to the butcher's house in the village. He is very familiar with this business, and he killed them in a short while, and because there were so many people, it was useless How long did it take, about two hours, and it was over, and the head and hooves were in the water. These people didn't want to eat, so they were all taken back by Da Zhuang. It is estimated that his family's Li Xiu will do this, and the remaining half of the meat was given to the big guy. Let the butcher divide it among everyone. He took the remaining half and drove the car back home.

Li Xiu had already cut up the vegetables and prepared them for the evening. When Da Zhuang came back, he went out of the house to help clean up those things. Throwing away all these things, Li Xiubai gave him a look, "You should be a prodigal, how can you throw away such a good thing?"

Da Zhuang scratched his head and said, "We don't eat this stuff here, they say it's the internal organs of animals, we're not beasts, we eat anything."

Li Xiu looked at so many pig's internal organs, and he also had a headache, mainly because he couldn't clean them up, especially those pig's intestines, which he had never done before, and finally he thought about the heart, liver and lungs, and pig's head and The pig's feet remained, and the remaining pig intestines were thrown directly into the cesspit in the backyard for retting.

After Da Zhuang finished these things, he also loaded the roe deer into the cart and drove the donkey cart to the town. Li Xiu started packing these things at home. Fortunately, the fur on them had been cleaned up. He washed them all, and put them in a big pot to make the sauce. Because the ingredients were sufficient and wild pork was used, the smell of the final product wafted far away, letting those who passed by their door People are all salivating, saying that Da Zhuang married a good wife, look how delicious the food is.

All the way Da Zhuang came back, he entered the house after listening to such compliments. Li Xiu had already put all the food on the dining table at home, waiting for him to come back. What happened on the road? After all, Da Zhuang took the meat out just now. Everyone in the village has seen it. He is also afraid that Da Zhuang will meet those people with malicious intentions. Oh no.

At this time, seeing Da Zhuang came back safely, he was relieved, and he helped to close the courtyard door, and fastened the door, fearing that thieves would come in and set their minds on their house. During this period of time, his heart was a little bit It's annoying, because they are afraid that something will happen, and they can't hide it.

Seeing that Li Xiu was preoccupied, Da Zhuang said, "What's the matter, brother Xiu, are you unhappy? This is a big holiday."

Li Xiu shook his head and said, "Brother Zhuang, did you hear any unexpected news in the town? I've been panicking for the past few days, afraid that something might happen."

When Da Zhuang heard it, "It's nothing. I just heard that something happened in the palace last time. It said that the palace recruited thieves. I heard that something was lost."

"Has the thief been caught?" Li Xiu said while feeding Da Zhuang.

Da Zhuang washed his hands and came out and said, "I don't know, anyway, it's none of our business. We, a common people, just guard our one-acre three-point land and live a good life."

Li Xiu nodded: "That's right, don't go out if you have nothing to do in the future. After the autumn vegetables are harvested at home, you can stay at home with me and live our own little life."

Da Zhuang nodded and said, "Brother Xiu, don't worry, I will listen to you. By the way, today our prey sold for ten or seven hundred cash. Here, you take the money. In the future, we will take advantage of the snow without , strive to hunt more prey and exchange for more money, life is not easy without money."

Li Xiu nodded and said, "Well, let's eat, as long as you are safe."

Da Zhuang heard: "Daughter-in-law, you are so kind, and the dishes you cook are also good. Just now everyone smelled the delicious food from our house."

"That's right, I don't want to see who made it. I'll let you open your eyes today and see how the dishes I cook are good." After speaking, he brought out all the prepared stewed vegetables, including stewed pork head and meat. Pork trotters, sauced liver and fried lung slices, but because there are so many dishes, I made half a plate, but it was not too much. In order to understand the tiredness, he also made a cold dish and fried shredded potatoes. It is estimated that it is so rich They are the only ones in the whole village, and he also bought a bowl of wine for Da Zhuang and brought it up.

Da Zhuang looked at the table full of dishes, and Le's mouth couldn't make up. . . . . .
