Sixty-fourth piece Chapter 1: (2)

With a little money on hand, Old Man Liu slowly let go of the big rock in his heart. He thought about it. When the spring comes in the coming year, when his son is just over six years old, he should be able to save two taels of silver at that time. It’s really impossible. So I sold the chickens at home. I would like to put together my son’s bundles first, but now it’s getting colder and there are few shanties. If you want to make some money, you’d better catch bugs and feed the chickens. There are a few hens in the house. Laying eggs are always diligent.

This year’s taxes have been paid, and the remaining rice in the family is enough to make ends meet, no matter how much it is, there are no fish in the river. Although Old Man Liu hasn’t caught a few before, his son can catch it, so why can’t he catch it? arrive?

As it happened that there was not much to live in, Old Man Liu started tossing fishing nets again. The river in his village was very wide, and many people were thinking about fishing, but it was strange to say that there was nothing to gain, and the fish that occasionally caught were at most palms. Long, but no more. Daliushu Village is generally poor, and the way to eat fish is the same. Clean it up and add a little bit of oil and salt. There are no tricks. Therefore, everyone has only one impression of Hexian: fishy.

Old man Liu dismantled the fishing nets and reweaved them. His hands were black, thin and dry, but they were very clever. Most farmers have such a skillful hand to make baskets, straw shoes, baskets, etc. Old man Liu usually wears straw sandals. You don’t have to wear cotton shoes until it’s cold, so you don’t need shoes and save a few dollars.

Linglong moved a small bench to sit on the side and watched. Seeing that his son's white and tender face was full of curiosity, Old Man Liu cheerfully said, "Daddy has made a fishing net, so let's catch fish for our Six Treasures!"

exquisite:…

I believe you a ghost, it's weird for your rascal old man to catch a fish.

In feudal society, most of the people living at the bottom were poor. If they were poor, they would be poor for a lifetime. They had limited information and knowledge, and they were relatively safe. Few people wanted to get ahead. This is the case with the villagers of Daliushu Village. Everyone knows that there are fish in the river, but it's not easy to catch, nor can you catch it, and it's unpalatable if you catch it, so you won't catch it. Anyway, it's not the year of natural disasters.

If Linglong's mouth were not particularly picky, Old Han Liu's family would not rack their brains to find food.

He caught the seven fishes!

Old man Liu worked so hard to re-weave the fishing nets. This time the nets are more dense and firmer. The two girls and Liu Laohan Wang also grabbed the four corners of the fishing net and put Linglong on it and shook him to play with him. . Linglong feels that he has really given too much, and he can still smile, which is enough to show that he really loves this family, Caiyi entertains his relatives!

On the road, the villagers saw Old Man Liu and greeted him: "What's going on, brother?"

"Go to the next net to catch fish!"

The old man shook his head: "Is there any fish in the river in our village? The next net you catch is some small snails. They are small and meatless, and they are smelly and unpalatable. !"

With the strength to go to the net, it is better to go to the ground to order a variety of dishes!

Old man Liu said: "My Six Treasures love to eat fish, I have to try it! I just caught fish from the river two days ago!"

They are all from the village, and it’s not easy to say something to hurt others. The old man is happy: "That's OK, you go and catch it. If you can really catch it, I'll go to your house and buy one!"

Old Man Liu laughed, Linglong stood by his legs and raised his head. He said, "Liubao, greet your Uncle Uncle."

"Hello, Uncle Dagen."

"Okay, brother, don't talk about anything else, your son looks like this!" Liu Dagen gave a thumbs up, "I can't blame you for sending him to school, if this baby is also digging in the field for a lifetime That’s a shame."

When Old Man Liu heard others praise his son, he laughed so hard that he couldn't see his son. He also thought that his son was good. This is not his bragging. You can't find someone as good-looking and clever as his son! When he got excited, he lifted Linglong on the ground and put it on his neck, and Linglong hugged his head to prevent him from falling down: "Father, I will go by myself, you are still holding things."

Old man Liu patted his chest: "Your father is very strong!"

Although everyone calls him an old man, he is still less than forty this year. In ancient times, people married early. Old man Liu was 17% of his parents. Starting at 20, he gave birth to five daughters in a row. There was no news after another five years. Then Linglong was born. Now Linglong is five years old and he is full of money. Old man Liu is in his thirties, but in ancient times when the average age was about fifty, he was indeed old at this age, and Mr. Liu had never had a good life in his life. He was very old, and his years of hard work made him a little hunchback, but the villagers in Daliushu Village are like this. Even the children are black, thin and dry, so the watery, white, tender and exquisite is even more outstanding.

Linglong was riding on his father's neck, sighed with her chin against his father's head.

Fortunately, his family loves to be clean, unlike Uncle Da Gen, whose hair is greasy and reflective from far away.

In fact, the old man Liu’s family was very rough at the beginning. However, Linglong likes to be clean but doesn’t like to clean himself. Under his influence, the whole family began to pay attention to hygiene in a subtle way. In the past, Wang’s pot was not used for cooking. Washing, it wasn't because of laziness, but because I wanted to save the leftover oily dregs and fry the next meal...until she found out that her son Liubao didn't eat hotpot dishes at all, so she changed it.

Although the family is poor nowadays, everything is clean and tidy. There is no dust in the corners, and the chicken coop is even more clean. Linglong thinks this is all her own credit!

When he reached the river, Old Man Liu put his son aside and began to wonder where to put the net. After two steps, he looked back at his son who was sitting on the big rock, for fear that he would run into the river for fun.

"Father! Father!"

"Six treasures! What's up!"

"Father, come here!"

Old man Liu hurried over, Linglong pointed in a direction: "You can leave the net here, let's collect it tomorrow night."

Old man Liu scratched his head and hesitated, but he listened anyway. He thought that he might not catch fish anyway, so he would listen to his son first and make his son happy. There were no fish in the river. Even if it was left for a few days, he might not be able to catch a few fish. The son still wanted to collect it tomorrow night... "Sure, it's all up to you."

Linglong laughed with satisfaction. Old man Liu threw the fishing net down and fixed it, and then he was about to pick up Linglong. However, he resolutely refused the old father's request to carry him back and insisted on walking back by himself.

For dinner, we drank thick noodles and wild vegetables porridge with thick noodles wow. Everyone drank very little, because there was not much to live in the cold weather. If you eat less, you can save a little food and send Liubao to study during the Chinese New Year.

Wu Duo Jin Hua had no objection to sending her younger brother to school, and she was even desperate. Wu Niu ran to the chicken coop every day to pick up eggs. If the number was low one day, she would go out to catch bugs and come back to feed the chickens, for fear of the chickens at home. Laying eggs is not diligent and can't save much money to send his brother to school when the time comes.

The next night, Old Man Liu took his son to the riverside again. This time he also took San Niu and Wu Niu, while the other three daughters helped peel beans at home.

Old man Liu felt something was wrong as soon as he pulled the fishing net. It was heavy, he couldn't pull it alone, Linglong made a decisive decision, and told San Niu to go home and call someone. Wang is taking out these days’ eggs for cleaning one by one. Last month, a salesman who sold duck cubs came to the village. She followed and bought a few of them. Now they are also growing up. Wang wants to raise ducks for her son. The salted duck eggs are served with porridge.

The three girls ran back panting: "Mother! Dad is catching a lot of fish! I can't pull it, so I ask you to find someone to help!"

Wang was taken aback, and quickly stood up: "Have you caught a fish?"

"A lot, a lot!" Sanniu lacks words, and I don't know how to say it. Anyway, there are so many fish! She opened her hands and drew a circle in the air, which was enough for Wang to get her meaning back.

There were women in the house and they would not be able to move them. Wang knocked on the doors of good friends and waited until everyone got to the river, and the five men, including Old Man Liu, worked hard together to collect the fishing net.

Seeing the lively fish, everyone opened their mouths in shock!

This, this rough look, there are less than a hundred words! And they are all that big and fat! One piece weighs seven or eight catties!

Old man Liu was also stunned by this result. He never dreamed that he could really catch fish this time... To be honest, his fishing net was remodeled under the childish language of his son. Although it was much stronger, when did it happen in the river? What a fish!

Liu Dagen went back and drew his own cart. Several people picked up the fish and brought it to Old Man Liu's house. Old Man Liu began to worry again. You said so much, where to keep it?

His family has only a large water tank, which is definitely not enough, so I borrowed water tanks from these families and reluctantly put the fish in it. As a token of gratitude, he gave Liu Dagen and others a few. tail.

Although it was fishy, ​​it was meat after all. The few people who helped were very happy. Old man Liu didn't fall asleep all night in excitement, and he wanted to take the Liu Dagen's cart into the city the next day to sell it.

But this water tank is too heavy, where can he pull it?

Linglong said: "Father, you might as well bring a few to ask the shopkeeper in the restaurant in town, and go to a few more shops. If you want goods, let them pick them up. It can be cheaper for them."

"Yes, yes, Liubao is right!" Wang nodded like garlic.

"Father, leave a few at home for my brother to eat." The lady said.

Old Man Liu kept nodding, anyway, no matter what he said, he would be fine.

The next morning he went into the city with a basket on his back. Linglong wanted to go with him. Old Man Liu didn't want to take him, but the woman in the family couldn't stand it with his son's tears, so he had to take his son as well. Bring it.

Linglong is worried that he can't sell it! His dad has a stupid mouth, and he is honest and honest. If people bargain with him, he certainly doesn't know how to talk. As a five-year-old kid, he really broke his heart!

It took a long time to get to the town, but Linglong, who insisted on self-reliance at the beginning, was already withered and completely collapsed in his father's arms without speaking. Old man Liu looked thin, but his stamina was really good, carrying a basket of fish and his son on his back, and entered the town without blushing and breathing.

The town nearest to Daliushu Village is called Xin'an Town. It is the central town of Tongping County. Tongping County Office is also here. Therefore, nearby villagers who want to buy and sell will go to Xin'an Town. Compared to the other towns under Tongping County The town, Xin'an Town is well developed, and there are only three restaurants!

Old man Liu had a dumb mouth. He stood at the entrance of the restaurant and was embarrassed to go in. He was afraid that his muddy shoes would make the lobby dirty. At this time, his son Liubao started twisting on him and wanted to go down. Old man Liu just put him down. , This little bit crossed the threshold of the restaurant, Old Man Liu was shocked, and the little man turned around and told him: "Father, stand here and don't move, wait for me to come back."

Although he was wearing patched clothes, he looked really good. The young master of the county grandfather’s house couldn’t be more beautiful than him. Almost as soon as he entered, the guests all looked at him, so small, standing there. Leng is different from others.

Brother Paotang came over, smiled and bent down: "Little brother, what's the matter with you?"

Linglong looked up at him: "Brother, my dad caught a lot of fat and big fish last night. I want to ask if your restaurant wants it? We can sell it to you cheaply. you."

Where did the runners do this master? He thought for a while, this child is so good-looking, he speaks milky and milky but looks like a little adult, making people happy when they look at it, and he is also willing to help ask: " Then you wait here, my brother asks the shopkeeper."

"Okay, thank you brother."

He was too cute. The runner looked out at the restless old man Liu, thinking how could such an old man give birth to such a good child? He hugged Linglong onto a long bench where no one was sitting, and ran over to the counter. The shopkeeper was doing the calculations. He said that someone was selling fish. Their restaurants have always been more famous for roasting chicken, and there are many mountains and rivers in Tongping County. , But few people eat fish.

He followed the runner to the guest hall, and saw the little man sitting there neatly. Although his clothes were patched, he was neat and tidy. He liked the shopkeeper when he saw it. He was in his early years. After losing his wife, he never remarried, and he likes children very much.

After speaking a few words to Linglong, he felt that the child was innocent and intelligent, and was particularly painful, so he was also willing to look at Old Man Liu's fish.

Suddenly overjoyed this look!

These fish are fat and alive, if they are made to be designated to please the gluttons! If you take a look at the fresh word, the word fish occupies half of it, and you can see how fresh this fish is! The shopkeeper used to be a cook in the south, and he returned to Tongping County when he was homesick. He spent all his savings and went to the restaurant. Because of his good craftsmanship and reasonable price, he quickly became famous, and his customers kept coming and he made fish. , He will, but Tongping County has a few rivers, and a hero is useless.

I want all the fish right now!

Old man Liu was overjoyed and couldn't help thanking the shopkeeper. Linglong also learned to be like a father. It was cute and loving. The shopkeeper could not help rubbing his little head and said to Old Man Liu: "Brother, I will follow. The child fell in love with him. This child in your family is very good. He is organized at a young age. If he can, he should be sent to school so that he can stand out in the future."

Old man Liu couldn't help nodding: "The shopkeeper said yes, my family thinks the same way, and I will send him to school in the spring of the coming year."

The shopkeeper's people are more sophisticated. Old man Liu is simple and kind, but it is easy for people to say something to their heart, exquisitely said: "Uncle shopkeeper, next time my father caught the fish, do you want more?"

"want!"

He looked at the child really greedy, he couldn't like it, "I want as much as your family catches!"

This is not a fake, how do the fish taste delicious? There is a pool in the backyard of their restaurant, which is usually empty. This is great for raising fish! And compared to meat, fish is cheaper. I have to say that this old man is a sincere man and is not expensive. Even if he sells it at two other restaurants, he will definitely accept it. It is better to raise the price and make it easier. Personal feelings, good contacts in the future.

Old man Liu heard from the shopkeeper that he would add three pennies per catty to the original basis, and waved his hand again and again: "I can't use it!"

"Brother, I'm not being polite with you. There are three restaurants in Xin'an Town. The first one you look for is me. This is fate, and the price is really not high. I have taken advantage of you. You will have to pay it back in the future. If you catch the fish, they will send them all. I want them all."

After going back and forth in this way, the price was set, more than a hundred fish, the shopkeeper gave a total of more than a dozen silver!

Old man Liu was overjoyed, so that his son's Shu Xiu is now available, and the rest is no longer anxious!

In fact, the shopkeeper’s fish is bought, and when it’s done, it can be sold for a few hundred words. Xin'an Town is located in an important road, and there are many people who travel north and south, and most of them don't miss that amount of money.

The shopkeeper sent someone to transport the fish with Old Man Liu. Before he left, Old Man Liu bought some fresh seasonings. He still kept some fish at home. It is not delicious if you don’t burn the aniseed. This time you make money and you can let the mother-in-law. Made it for my son.

Back home, Wang cried with joy when he saw Yinzi!

The people in the village saw that Old Man Liu’s family had made money from fishing, and they were all eager. There were too many to cast a net to catch fish, but strange things also came. No matter how they caught, they would catch a few fish. , They are all thin and small, but the big fish like the big fish caught by Old Man Liu's house is never seen again.

The villagers all caught the fish, but Old Man Liu stopped. He took his six children, each carrying a basket, and went to the river to dig small snails.

Small snails are actually snails. No one in Daliushu Village will eat this stuff. The meat is less smelly and it is not delicious, but their family now has the money and the ingredients, which can be made into spicy and delicious fried snails. The gadgets are released, especially for wine. You can try them at home, and they can also be sold to the shopkeeper of the room. I believe that from the shopkeeper of the room, you can definitely see the goodness of this little snail.

Old man Liu still muttered in his heart whether this thing can be eaten, but his son wanted it. He wanted to dig it when he had nothing to do at home. As a result, the girls also wanted to come. They simply had a baby and a basket, and the villagers who were fishing on the edge laughed at them. Well, I think Old Man Liu's family is stupid. If you don't catch fish well, what little snails are you digging?

The last small snails dug by the family were almost full in the water tank. Wang fell into deep thought. His son wanted to eat this stuff. The problem is that she can't do it! How do you eat this stuff?

Linglong always talked and didn't touch her hands. This little snail was very troublesome to wash. In addition to scrubbing and scrubbing, she also had to put salt and water to clean the inside. Just like that, the old man Liu and his family had been busy for three or four days before they were able to treat these little snails. The snails are all cleaned up, and the water that comes out again is clear.

Then you have to remove all the screw caps, which is another big project. Everyone at home is so busy that they want to eat because of Linglong's sentence. Although everyone does not understand, is this stuff similar to whether it is meat or not, what is it delicious?

Last time he was selling fish, Old Man Liu went to the shop, regardless of whether he knew him or not. Anyway, he bought some of the ingredients. Wang was still worried about how to get this stuff. Linglong beside him guided her intentionally or unintentionally. Wang has always Knowing that his son is an idea, don't look at Liubaoxiao, he is right to listen to the big and small things in the family.

It is precisely because the son is so smart that they want to send him to school.

According to Linglong, he prepared garlic, star anise, pepper, chives, and other things, and then went to stir-fry according to his statement. Wang's cooking for so many years is still very experienced, and Linglong knows how to make it with just a little touch.

The neighbor next door suddenly felt that the bowl of rough batter in his hand was not smelling.

The scent of fried snails spreads everywhere, the folks in the village, everyone is having a hard time, how am I embarrassed to go to someone to eat? But Linglong was good at being a human being. He asked Wang to install several small bowls and asked his sisters to send them to neighbors and friends, and then the whole family would sit and eat together.

Maybe men have a natural preference for this stuff. Old man Liu took one and took it out. He also took out the white wine he had kept for many years and poured a small glass of it there slowly.

He dipped some wine with his chopsticks and wanted to trick his son to try it. How could Linglong be fooled? He glanced at his father contemptuously, and flexibly sucked out the snails, and the shells formed a hill next to him.

He eats the fastest at home! At first, the sisters and mother wanted to peel it to him. Linglong picked up one of them and put it in her mouth. With a tut, the meat came into her mouth and spit it out. Except for Old Man Liu, everyone else could not learn it after learning it for a long time.

The next day Old Man Liu sent this gadget to the town shopkeeper at Linglong's request. When the shopkeeper tasted it, he was shocked, because no one had thought of eating these gadgets, plus the low cost. , It's a great snack!

So he bought a recipe for fried snails with thirty taels of silver. Old man Liu didn't want it, but the shopkeeper insisted on giving it to him, and ordered the delivery with him in the future. This thing is in season, and what you eat is just a piece of cake. Fresh, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is still in the river, but as the weather turns cold, it will only get less and less. The thirty taels of silver, old man Liu, is simply disturbed.

The shopkeeper Fang laughed and said, "If my brother thinks that he is taking advantage of me, how about let Liubao recognize me as a godfather? I have no children and I really like that child."

Old man Liu was taken aback. To him, the shopkeeper Fang was definitely a noble person who couldn't climb high, but this noble person said that he wanted to be his son's godfather. This, this is really...

The shopkeeper Fang has seen Linglong three or four times so far, and every time he sees it, he likes it more than the last time. At his age, he doesn't want to marry another wife and have children.

Old man Liu thought for a while and agreed. He felt that there was nothing wrong with him. The shopkeeper Fang was a good and kind person. He was also a heart and soul to his family. The relationship between people is fate, so why should we extrapolate?

When I returned home and talked to the mother-in-law about this matter, Wang was also anxious, feeling that it would not be good to climb relatives like this, but Linglong thought for a while and nodded.

He must be promising in the future, and the shopkeeper Fang has a good eye. ,, everyone remember to bookmark the URL or remember the URL, the URL is m.. Free and fastest update. No anti-theft and no anti-theft. Report error chapter. Ask for books to find books. Chat with book friends
