MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 45

During the autumn harvest season, the whole Qingxi Village can see the scene of raising rice and glutinous rice. There are rice husks and rice brans on the ground outside the village. These rice brans are not thrown away. , The poor people are even more afraid to throw away, rice bran is something that can satisfy one's hunger.

After getting up early and eating, Lu Gu chopped up a big dustpan, mixed it with grain chaff, and carried it to the backyard to feed the chickens and ducks. The puppy followed him, because it would bite chickens and ducks, so Lu Gu had to call Shen Yan to take it away and play in the front yard.

Before going down the mountain, Shen Xuanqing told him that he would be at home for ten days and a half. He was worried about the chickens and ducks. When he went down the mountain, he locked the chickens and ducks in a bamboo cage and pulled them down with a trolley. It's only half the size at the moment, no bigger than that big hen and a duck that can be squeezed in a bamboo cage.

The hens clucked and the ducks quacked. They were raised in two fences separately. Lu Gu poured the chickens and then the ducks. Finally, he turned the bamboo dustpan over and patted the back to remove the residue. Shoot it down.

He held an empty dustpan in one hand, and drew with the other hand in the air. He counted the chickens and ducks that were pecking their heads. He was relieved when he saw that there were not many of them, but he looked at the wilted chicken in the corner and turned to the other side. The body, how come there is blood on the body.

Lu Gu was a little anxious, went in and picked up the chick, and found that it had wounds at the base of the wings on the back of its neck, and its feathers were stained with blood.

What can I do, do I need to get some herbs? Thinking like this, he carefully looked at the other chicks and ducks. Fortunately, only this one was injured, so he hurriedly grabbed the chicks and went to the front yard. .

Shen Xuanqing was entering the door with Shen Yaoqing, and the two of them had just gone out to inquire about the price of new rice. They discussed taking advantage of the good price to bring some new rice to the town to sell in the next two days. As soon as they looked up, they saw Lu Gu's anxious expression.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xuanqing's eyes fell on the chicken in his hand, and he took a few steps forward to check the injury, and finally said: "It's okay, it's just a small injury, it's probably pecked by a big chicken, don't worry about getting some herbs. already."

Lu Gu also thought that the big chicken must have bullied his chick, and the big dog would not bite. The puppy has been in the front yard again today, so it can only be the big chicken.

"Can I separate them?" Lu Gu asked in a low voice. These chickens and chickens weren't raised in one litter, so he thought it was better to separate them.

Shen Xuanqing said, "Okay, I'm going to put in a fence. The old fence that I pulled before has not been burned. It's just a simple fence. It doesn't need to be too much trouble, and it will go up in a few days."

Shen Yan was sitting under the eaves making needles and needles, and the dog was biting the leg of the stool she was sitting on. Hearing what they were saying, he interjected, got up and said, "Brother Guzi, there are herbs for bleeding on the back of the hill, I'll give them to you. You pick it up."

Lu Gu nodded hastily, put the chicken in the bamboo basket, and said, "I'll go with you."

When the two of them came back from taking the medicine, Shen Yan smashed the stone to make a green concoction, and Lu Gu carefully found a rag. It's better to wrap around.

After the two of them finished, Shen Xuanqing also cleaned up a small fence in the backyard, drove the chicks and ducks into it, and separated them from the big ones. Lu Gu put the injured one in as well, and cut grass for the chickens and ducklings again.

He originally wanted to keep the injured dog alone in the front yard, but seeing the puppy's lively appearance, he even bit the legs of the stool, so he could only give up.

Speaking of which, the puppy is quite close to Lu Gu. When Shen Xuanqing left on the mountain, the two of them were left. Compared with chickens and ducks, the puppy was really like a child. Lu Gu followed wherever he went, with a pair of black lights. His eyes tilted his head and screamed a few times, his little ears swayed with his tilted head, and sometimes his thick little claws would step on the upper of his shoes.

Lu Gu returned to the front yard. The puppy, who had been yelled a few times by Da Hui, did not dare to go to Da Hui again. It found a corner and lay down, with its small head resting on the two front paws that were close together. His eyes looked pitiful and aggrieved.

Seeing this, Lu Gu walked over, squatted in front of it, patted its head, and lightly pinched one of its small ears, and said, "If you're a little obedient, you won't be cruel to you."

He didn't speak in the mountains. Sometimes the puppy was too skinny. He couldn't help holding it up and preaching a few words. The puppy understands human nature. Even if he didn't understand what he was saying, he would wag his tail and tilt his head to listen.

Lu Gu said, picked up the dog on the ground, turned around and saw Shen Xuanqing coming out of the main room, and stood there a little embarrassed, thinking that no one would talk to the dog like this, if he was heard, he would definitely laugh at him.

The puppy was touched and hugged again, and the grievances dissipated. He barked twice in his arms, licked his fingers, played and bit him a few times, but it didn't hurt.

Shen Xuanqing did hear Lu Gu talking to the dog. Lu Gu usually had a low voice, or he lowered his head and said, looking cowardly, and whispered to the dog, but Shen Xuanqing felt that it seemed a little different, so he looked at Lu subconsciously. Valley.

Compared to him, Lu Gu seemed more comfortable with the puppy.

After realizing Lu Gu's embarrassment, Shen Xuanqing narrowed his gaze, thought for a moment, and said, "I have brought it back for so many days, so I should give it a name."

He didn't mention what happened just now, and didn't laugh at him. He asked Lu Gu to quietly put the heart that he mentioned back, and after thinking about it, he couldn't come up with it, so he whispered: "I don't understand this, come on."

Country people name dogs according to their color, most of them are rhubarb, gray, black, or prosperous wealth. Shen Xuanqing remembered that Lu Gu asked the dog to be more obedient, and thought that this dog is really solid, so it's better to call him Good boy, also have a good temperament.

"Good boy, darling, let's call this first." Shen Xuanqing said, without much thought of naming, the dog was raised in the country, and when he grew up, he was called Dajia, and the family called it smoothly, Wei Lanxiang Lu Gu I have never read a book, so it is inconvenient to call out a name of Wenxuanxuan.

Good boy, Lu Gu touched the name, hugged the dog and called out to be good boy, but the dog was busy biting his sleeve and didn't respond to the name.

Shen Xuanqing said when he saw it, "It will know after a while."

"Yeah." Lu Gu nodded, his sleeves were full of saliva, so he put the dog down.

—

When the sun was slowly falling toward the west, a fire was set up in the yard, and the firewood was burning. Lu Gu and Ji Qiuyue sat in front of the small fire and roasted autumn rice fish.

Shen Yan pierced a slightly larger piece with a clean wooden stick next to it, and rubbed the pounded pepper noodles and chili noodles into the belly of the fish, and also came up to bake it.

This was made by Shen Yaoqing. He said that he often eats stewed fish, and he is tired of it, so he eats it in a different way. Countrymen sometimes catch fish in the river, but they are reluctant to fry it or stew it with salt.

They grilled the fish at home, and it was tasteless and tasteless, so they did as Shen Yaoqing said and took out all the pepper noodles. Wrap it in kosher salt, and now you don't need to rub it with salt when you bake it on the fire.

The three of them roasted together for a while. Ji Qiuyue saw that Shen Yan's fish had turned black, and quickly said, "It's burnt, quickly lift it up."

Shen Yan happily lifted the wooden branch higher, she smelled the roasted spicy and numb smell and felt fragrant, so she said, "Sister-in-law, let me taste if it's cooked first."

"It must be unfamiliar inside." Ji Qiuyue was used to cooking and knew about it, but even so, she couldn't stop the greedy Shen Yan.

"It's delicious outside." Shen Yan tore off some of the charred fish. It wasn't completely black. It was different from the usual stewed fish. The skin of the fish was a little crispy, and the salt was strong enough to add peppercorns to taste. Slightly numb and spicy.

"It's okay, you eat it while you bake it, and you're done eating it after you bake it." Ji Qiuyue joked with her with a smile.

Wei Lanxiang came out of the room when she heard the movement, she was happy to see a few of them joking, and came over with a stool and baked one.

Shen Yaoqing caught a lot of autumn rice fish in the field. Today, he ate all the rest without taking up the kitchen space. If he wants to eat fish in the future, he will go to the river to fish for fresh ones.

The puppy smelled the fragrance and came over. Lu Gu was afraid that the fire would burn it, so he stopped it with his feet. Fortunately, it didn't jump into the fire, so he should have seen the power of the flames.

Wei Lanxiang glanced outside the door and said, "Daqing and the others should come back too."

"Yeah, when we went out, Daqing said that he would be able to come back at about this time." Ji Qiuyue said, turning the wooden stick in her hand so that the fish could be cooked evenly.

Although Lu Gu didn't speak, he also glanced outside the door.

Shen Xuanqing followed him to the town to sell new rice. One of the brothers pulled the cart and the other pushed it behind, which was lighter than one person.

While he was talking, Da Hui, who was lying asleep, raised his head and shouted at the door twice, then got up and ran out. Wei Lanxiang knew at a glance that it was his son who had returned.

It didn't take long for Shen Yaoqing to pull the empty scooter and enter the door. He smelled the smell of grilled fish and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, it's just time to come back."

Ji Qiuyue laughed at him: "You just care about your greed."

Shen Xuanqing came in behind him, and immediately met Lu Gu, who was looking out of the door. Although the money for selling rice had nothing to do with him, it belonged to his eldest brother, but the family was naturally happy with the bumper harvest, and his husband was also waiting at home. yourself, feel better.

Shen Yaoqing took care of the land, watering the land, weeding and fertilizing it, and he was mostly busy. Wei Lanxiang and Shen Yan were also at home with him and his wife taking care of them, so the harvest of the land was naturally in his hands, and the Shen family had no objection.

He didn't say much when he came back after selling the money. In the evening, he gave Wei Lanxiang some old-age mother's public money, and he also saved some money for himself, and his life will gradually get better.

"Go wash and wash, and bring the steamed buns over to cushion them. This fish can eat the skin." Wei Lanxiang told them both.

The brothers washed their hands and faces with water, Wei Lanxiang turned her head back with undiminished joy, and sold a carload of rice for a good price.

She turned the fish in her hand, thought about it for a moment, smiled and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to Dachen's house to pick some long beans, stir fry them with red sauce, and then fry an egg. I have saved some these days, and I will fry them for a while. The plate is enough, let’s steam dry rice tomorrow, steam it with new rice, and be happy and happy.”

The long beans fried in red sauce are salty and fragrant. They are best served with dry rice. At the end of the meal, there are no dishes. Divide the sauce and mix it into the rice. Crystal clear and full, the steamed rice is also mellow and soft and glutinous, and it is sweet to eat white rice without vegetables.

Lu Gu had never eaten this dish, so he didn't know how fragrant it was. Shen Yan had eaten it twice. At the end of the meal, he took a piece of steamed bun and wiped off the remaining sauce marks at the bottom of the bowl. He was reluctant to let go of it. It was also because she hadn't eaten much good food in the past two years, so she thought that this dish was the most delicious, but when she heard that she was going to eat it tomorrow, she drooled.
