Chapter 72: He family Lu family
Chapter 72 He Family Lu Family
Qin Sanlang felt it was a pity that they only wandered around the shallow mountainous area of Dafeng Mountain today and did not enter the deep mountains. His original intention was to go into the deep mountains to have a look, but knowing that several adults would be worried, he nodded and said: "Okay."
The other people also agreed and each carried their things out of the mountain.
The sack of snakes was a bit dangerous. Qin Sanlang did not let Gu Jinli take it. Instead, he used a **** as a pole, carrying the sack with snakes on one end and more than twenty wild sweet potatoes on the other.
Luo Wu was carrying several large mountain rats weighing half a catty.
The three pheasants were taken by Luo Huiniang, Gu Jinli and Tian Xiaohua.
Tian Xiaohua treasured this pheasant very much. She held the pheasant with its wings removed and its feet tied in her arms, with a smile on her dark and thin face. Tian Erqiang followed closely beside her, extending his hand to protect Ichigo Pheasant from time to time.
Gu Jinli saw it funny, but also a little sad. The Tian brothers and sisters were like this because they were poor, so they had to make money quickly.
Gu Jinli withdrew his gaze from the Tian brothers and sisters, and turned to look around, sometimes looking at the particularly tall trees, sometimes at the small slopes he was walking through, and sometimes at the peaks with a special shape in the distance.
She is memorizing the topography of Dafeng Mountain. She will go into the mountains again in the future. Only by memorizing the topography can she not get lost in the mountains.
Qin Sanlang also has the habit of memorizing terrain, and he also looks at the distinctive scenery along the way. He will also listen to the sounds around him. If he hears the sound of running water, he will stop and take note of the surrounding scenery before continuing.
They walked quickly for an hour. When they were about to leave the mountain, Luo Wu finally couldn't help but ask Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, are your family members okay?"
Gu Jinli smiled and said, "Everything is fine."
Hearing this, Luo Wu was not very satisfied and frowned.
Gu Jinli ignored him and continued walking out of the mountain.
Seeing that he was about to leave the mountain, Luo Wu became anxious, gritted his teeth, chased after Gu Jinli, and asked in a low voice: "Are you and your sister okay?"
Gu Jinli turned around and grinned at him: "It's good. Sister has been practicing those self-defense moves. You don't have to worry."
After saying this, she said no more, turned around and continued on her way.
Luo Wu will be eighteen after the Chinese New Year, and not only she, but also the adults of the two families know about his thoughts about Gu Jinxiu.
However, she could not tell Luo Wu too much about Gu Jinxiu until the Luo family proposed marriage to them. This is ancient times, and a rumor can kill a girl.
Luo Huiniang is a big-hearted person. She just thought that her eldest brother was asking about Sister Xiu's martial arts training, so she said: "Brother, you can't ask too much of Sister Xiu. Sister Xiu is not suitable for martial arts training. She can practice those moves well." That’s pretty good.”
Sister Xiu is weak and weak. When she was in her hometown, she could only do embroidery with needles and practice martial arts. It was too difficult for her.
Luo Wu was so upset by Luo Huiniang's words that he casually said something to deal with it, and hurried on with a few others.
After they came out of the mountain, they made another big turn and finally returned to the path leading to the back of Qin's house.
The third grandma stood on the path, looking anxiously at the end of the path. After seeing them, she breathed a sigh of relief, waved to them, and shouted: "Go home quickly, it's going to be dark today." .”
They left the mountain in the afternoon and walked on the road for an hour, that is, two hours. When they got here, it had already turned from afternoon to evening.
Several people saw the third grandma and trotted to the third grandma.
Luo Huiniang picked up the pheasant in her hand and said to the third grandma: "Third grandma, look, we have caught a pheasant." The third grandma was shocked when she saw that they had pheasants and mountain rats in their hands: "How did you find so many? Good stuff?" This is all meat.
Luo Huiniang raised her chin and said proudly, "We are pretty good, right?"
"Awesome, you are all good children, let's go home." The third grandma was very happy. After receiving them, she led them home.
Men from several families gathered at Gu Jinli's house to talk. Seeing them bringing back so many things, the third grandfather immediately made a decision: "Call all the families together and let's have a good meal tonight. It's been a long time since we've eaten meat." .”
Tian Erqiang immediately ran to inform several families.
Not long after, women from several families came with pots, bowls, food, and the whole family.
Mr. Chen was the most proactive and took away two pheasants as soon as she arrived: "I'm good at killing chickens. Leave it to me. I'll take care of the chickens and tidy them up properly."
There were a large family of about thirty people, and they were greedy for meat. Two pheasants were not enough, so Qin Sanlang caught three more mountain rats to deal with. After a while, he beheaded the big mountain rats, chopped off their feet, skinned them, and then Chop it into small pieces of even size and take it to Gu's kitchen.
Da Chu calls all rats in the mountains mountain rats. In fact, the fat mountain rats they caught today are bamboo weasels, also known as bamboo rats.
Gu Jinli took the piece of bamboo rat meat from Qin Sanlang's hand, blanched it in water, and then washed it. He first boiled the fat meat from the bamboo rat to make a little oil, and then poured the piece of bamboo rat meat into the iron pot. Fry slowly over low heat until the meat becomes shiny and golden, and the aroma fills the room.
Ms. Chen stared at the bamboo rat meat in the iron pot and swallowed: "Xiaoyu, your cooking is so delicious."
Mr. Chen couldn't help it anymore, so she reached into the pot, took out a piece of bamboo rat meat, and stuffed it into her mouth.
Gu Jinli looked at her and said with a smile: "Auntie, this meat is not yet cooked. If you eat it, worms will grow in your stomach. It is said in medical books."
Ms. Chen’s face froze and she hurriedly spit out the meat in her mouth.
The Cui family, the Chu family, the Yan family, and Aunt Tian have long been accustomed to Chen's behavior. They don't criticize her and just do the work in hand.
The third grandma couldn’t stand it and scolded Chen: “Can’t you wait any longer? You’ve ruined such a big piece of meat.”
Ms. Chen knew she shouldn't be greedy, but she couldn't help it. But the third grandma was senior, so she didn't dare to talk back, so she could only laugh and run to make chicken soup.
When it got dark, women from several families brought up a large pot of fried bamboo rats, a large pot of chicken soup, a basket of steamed sweet potatoes, and a large pot of soybean and rice porridge.
Every house brought old rice and soybeans, so I cooked a big pot full of them.
There was a fire burning in the main room, with two torches standing. A family of thirty or so people sat around on the ground, lighting up the fire, happily eating this rare and sumptuous meal.
The children from several families were so happy that they didn’t even use chopsticks. They just started to eat with their hands, and each one of them had their mouths full of oil.
After dinner happily, Mr. Qin began to tell several people about Dafeng Village: "Dafeng Village has two major surnames, the He family and the Lu family. The He family has lived in Dafeng Village for the longest time and is the village chief. At most, most of the He family are good, but there are a few gangsters who have settled down, and there are also a few bachelors, such as He Sanleizi, He Shanwa, and He Dacai. We should stay away from them in the future. If we meet them alone, we would rather Take a detour.”
"The Lu family moved to Dafeng Village more than a hundred years ago. They are not as qualified as the He family. However, the head of the Lu family, Mr. Lu, is rich and has several shops in the county. His daughter is still the concubine of the county magistrate. He gave birth to a pair of children to the county magistrate, and he has a certain status in the county magistrate's house, so Mr. Lu is very domineering in Dafeng Village, and even the village chief is afraid of him."
“The matter of giving us power is what Mr. Lu asked Village Chief He to do.”
Let’s make a complaint about farming. It’s really a waste of words to write about farming. I want to control the number of words and write something simple, but I’m afraid it’s not realistic enough; I want to write something more detailed, but it’s a waste of words! But Su, after explaining the background of Dafeng Village, the farming and fortune chapter will speed up the pace. This is what makes it fun. ┗|｀O′|┛Ouch~~
