Chapter 153 Acacia Red Beans
Chapter 153: Lovesick Red Beans
It was already past ten o'clock in the morning when I walked home. The big braid made a fire and cooked. Old Wu took out the chessboard and insisted on killing two plates with the fat man. Now the secret of the wooden box is no longer necessary to hide the big braid, so the fat man took out two big fish, a bowl of fish roe, a plate of fish bladder, a piece of fish scale jelly, and a plate of fish intestines. He had a whole fish feast at noon.
The things were ready-made. Just grab two rice and put two fish in the pot early and slowly gushes. Then the fat man went to the yard and placed the chessboard under the shade of the tree.
Maomao squatted beside the fat man, while Damao Ermao squatted behind Lao Wu's head, staring at the fun with her gurgling eyes. Lao Wu's head worked hard to play chess, and when he made a move, he blew the mountain. Every time he fell, the three monkeys would blink together.
The fat man went down to his proud position and tried to kill Lao Wutou with one trick. Lao Wutou was trapped in a long test and frowned his eyebrows and picked up his pipe. The fat man blinked his eyes, Maomao snatched Lao Wutou's pipe and filled it with cigarettes.
If it were normal, Old Wu would have to praise Maomao, "This monkey is so obedient," but now he is not in the mood and keeps snoring.
After whining, a few little wild boars also came to join in the fun, and their warm little noses arched onto the chessboard. The fat man hurriedly chased them: "Go and go, your Grandpa Wu will lose immediately. He will not admit it again after you disturb me."
Old Wu then came back to his senses: "Boy, whoever loses wins and wins - is this the fucking tobacco leaf!"
When I knocked out the "tobacco leaves" in my pipe, I saw Maomao holding a piece of dry cucumber leaves in her hand, baring her teeth.
"I said why didn't you have any strength at all? Fatty, you are bullying people together at this time." Old Wutou was a little amused and crying.
"You're content. It's good if Maomao didn't put the dry horse manure in your cigarette pipe." The fat man comforted.
Old Wu was so angry that he decided not to play chess with the fat man again. In the end, he was reluctant to let it go, so he had to make up his mind: he would never smoke again when playing chess in the future.
"Grandpa, help me open this mushroom girl." Wu Qiong ran over with a handful of green mushroom girl in his hand.
"This is not eaten yet, and it will only become yellow after it becomes yellow." The fat man thought the little guy was greedy. Speaking of which, there were a few mushroom mothers in every garden, and there was no need to plant it. Last year's seeds fell into the ground and it grew out on its own.
There is a thin layer of skin on the outside. When the skin is peeled off, the round mushroom girl inside is divided into two types: yellow mushroom girl and red mushroom girl, yellow sweet and red bitter.
"It's not that we're going to blow it." Qiqi took a thin broom pole from the house, then pulled off the Mustang's skin, poked it up in the small mouth connected to the skin, and squeezed out the mushroom seeds and juice inside.
Finally, only a thin layer of green skin was left. Qiqi put it in her mouth, rolled her tongue, and sucked it back, and the mushroom girl bulged it, and then bit it with her teeth, making a gurgling sound.
The fat man slapped his thigh: "No wonder he is called Mu Niang, it turns out that he is the little girl's favorite thing."
Wu Qiong looked fun, and he picked out the skin of the mushroom girl from his mouth and put it in his mouth to blow. Generally speaking, two little girls were playing together and fighting for things, which was the easiest thing to fight. However, Qiqi and Wu Qiong were together, but Qiqi gave in to Wu Qiong everywhere. The whole story was not worthy of being apart from the fat man and the big braid.
Unexpectedly, Mushroom Blowing is also a technical job, and there are also small tricks. If you grit your teeth and bulge your cheeks, it is a suona, and Mushroom Blowing will not be able to play.
Qiqi guided her patiently for a while, and Wu Qiong knew it too. The two girls were gurgled, gurgled, and the yard was filled with the sound of their mushroom biting mother.
Old Wu rushed into the room with a chessboard. The fat man scratched his head and muttered: "It seems that he hasn't finished yet-"
At 10:00 noon, the old revolutionary and the monkey-playing man came back together. As soon as they entered the yard, the old revolutionary yelled: "Little Li Zi is good. He is an expert in fiddling with big geese. Those big geese are obedient in his hands."
When he praised him, Little Lizi - the monkey-playing man - also pulled his back straight: "That's right, I've actually whipped over the years."
"You boy are not using violence against the big goose, right?" The fat man was a little worried.
"How can that be?" The monkey-playing man smiled, and the fat man smiled at him for the first time: "If you perform well, the Tencent Factory will be handed over to you to be the goose official next year."
The monkey-playing man was so happy when he heard this, he patted his chest and slapped his vow to do it well. The fat man waved his hand and said, "Get into the house for dinner."
The first person who was playing monkeys got into the house. This guy finally found his place and was very righteous in his meals. He ate two bowls in the sky, but today he made three bowls but didn't give up his chopsticks. What, it's mainly because the food is so fragrant.
After Lao Wu had a bowl of rice, he started asking the fat man what this was and what that was. The sharpshooter's father made him laugh: "You, I don't know what to eat after eating for a long time."
After taking a break, Old Wu head went up the mountain. The fat man thought that although Wang Sanpao and the others were all back, and they had basically made a military uniform, either a green military cap, or a big-headed shoe, Political Commissar Wang had already returned to the army. However, everyone was busy harvesting wheat and probably couldn't accompany them. What should we do if we meet wild animals when we entered the mountain?
But they couldn't resist everyone's connection. The fat man made a cruel decision, put on his hunting rifle, called Dahuang from the captain's house and two thin dogs from the Wang Sanpao's house. The two old men were holding sticks and trying to beat the wolf. The two little girls were carrying small baskets, followed by three monkeys, and Hai Dongqing was flying above their heads. A group of people rushed towards Daqingshan.
As soon as he went out, he met Erfeizi to ask Benben. Fatty knew that he was a master of wild fruit picking, so he pulled Erfeizi up.
The fat man didn't dare to take them to the old forest, so he just wandered around. Generally speaking, it should be fine.
May and June of Daqingshan should be the most beautiful season, with the flowers blooming; but the most long-lasting season is August. Various mountain fruits are ripe in sequence, and whether adults or children, they can make a small flower face when they go in. There is no way, the wild fruits in the mountains are so delicious.
As soon as they entered the forest, the two little girls were busy squatting on the ground to pick mushrooms. Qiqi kept selling the fat uncle's theory to Wu Qiong: "There are maggots on the roots that are not poisonous mushrooms."
Erfeizi disdained to be with the little girl and took the lead in finding a hazelnut forest. The shrub of hazelnuts is not too high and is just suitable for people to collect.
This month, the hazelnuts have matured and hung on the branches, like small bells, and they can be grabbed by hand. However, the hard shell outside is too hard. After they go home and fry, they can only be eaten with special tools to smash hazelnuts.
Soon, Qiqi and the others picked a basket of mushrooms, all of which were pine mushrooms, red umbrella covers, with a layer of oily surface. At night, I picked up some cabbage and stir-fried it, and it was a delicious dish.
So a few little guys focused on collecting wild fruits again. What they like was that they could immediately get their mouths after picking them off, so they pulled Erfeizi's clothes and asked him to find them.
Erfeizi was indeed a veteran of wild fruit picking. After thinking for a while, he led everyone forward. A few hundred meters away, he came to a small shrub with large leaves. There were bunches of small black fruits hidden inside, which were about the size of grapes, but the color was purple-red, almost black, and there was a faint white frost hanging on it.
"Haha, good luck, we had black currants to eat." Erfeizi was obviously happy that he was a successful guide.
"Black Currant." The fat man suddenly remembered that decades later, this kind of mountain fruit was a fun thing. He made juice and made fruit wine, which was very popular. It is said that he could also be cultivated manually. When the old medicine comes back, he has to find him to study and start early.
While he was thinking about it, several kids had already surrounded him, and each person picked a handful of them without washing them, and stuffed them into his mouth. These days, you have no idea how to find pollution.
The fat man was still a child's character when eating and drinking. He snatched a few pills from Erfeizi's hand, picked the residue of the calyx in front, and then put the fruit in his mouth and took a bite.
The purple-red slurry flows out through the mouth. First, it feels very sweet, and then it comes with a sour taste. The taste is absolutely natural, and only real mountains and forests can produce such a special mountain fruit.
Old Wu tasted one and nodded repeatedly: "The taste is very pure and sweet. It's okay to use it to make wine. Is there a lot of this thing in the mountains?"
"I'm going to go too much. I'm going to walk to the old forest. It's everywhere, bigger than this." Erfeizi slapped his mouth and immediately turned into a purple-faced judge.
"Well, it has development value, but if you make wine, it will be used more. From the long run, it must be artificially planted like grapes." Old Wu said this with great sensation, completely changing like a person, which made the fat man look at him with admiration.
Qiqi and Wu Qiong also ate it into a small flowery face. While stuffing it into their mouths, Qiqi told Wu Qiong: "You can't eat too much. If you eat too much, you will not dare to chew anything."
Although wild fruits have large sugar content, they have enough acidic substances, but they are covered up and are not easy to detect when eaten. However, Wu Qiong saw that Qiqi couldn't stop talking, so he took this as a storm.
"There is no prospect, there are better ones in front of you. I will pick them in the basket and eat them slowly." Erfeizi looked down on the two girls' movies, and he saw that he had never seen the world before.
The two little girls wrinkled the little flowery face at Erfeizi without being outdone, but in order to taste something else in a while, they stopped stuffing it into the basket and started picking it in the basket.
The fat man walked forward a few steps, pointed to the red spots on the other side and said, "Let's go over there and take a look, I don't know what kind of fruit it is."
Erfeizi put on a pergola in his hand and looked into the distance: "I remember there were a lot of Yagdas there last year." It turns out that this kid always went up the mountain to pick fruits every year, and he remembered it.
The three macaques were impatient and jumped and ran over first, with the people behind them following him. The two little girls stuffed the basket into the fat uncle's hand and ran away happily.
"What is Yagda?" It was the first time that the fat man heard this strange name.
"Yagada is the red bean." Big braids solve the problem for the fat man.
When I got closer, I saw that there were indeed little red beans hanging on small shrubs more than a foot high, like clusters of red lanterns, which was very pleasant.
"People say that red beans grow in the south, and a few branches are blooming in spring, why do red beans appear here?" The fat man was a little puzzled.
However, this question has exceeded Erfeizi's knowledge field, so it's useless to ask him. But Big Braids know a little, and said with a smile: "This is called the red beans in the north, which are not the same variety as the red beans in the south. The one in the south is called Xiangsizi, so Wang Wei said that he advised you to pick more, this thing is the most love-searching thing."
"Try it first and talk about it." Qiqi and the others were young and didn't know what lovesickness was. In their eyes, they were just a food.
The fat man put the red bean fruit in his mouth. The taste was slightly sour, with bitterness in it. The bitterness became sweet after it was bitter, and the aftertaste was endless. He nodded unconsciously: "I know why this is called lovesick beans. This taste is the taste of lovesickness." After saying that, he glanced at the big braid, which made the face flush, almost the same as the red beans in front of him.
"Lovesickness? What is lovesickness?" Qiqi and Wu Qiong were both a little confused.
Dapianzi thought for a while and said, "Just wait until Wu Qiong returns to the city, I miss you and you miss me. This is called lovesickness."
When she finished speaking, there were tears in Qiqi's eyes.
