Chapter 096 Grind the big white noodles!
The donkey seller was also an old man. He was in his sixties and had nothing to say. During the whole process, he heard no more than five sentences of the old man, and three of them were just like that. The old man was also an interesting one. After taking Wen Xu's money, he squatted on the ground and counted almost five times. Each one carefully checked the sky, and then he carefully received it in his waist. Then he squeezed out a smile on his face and turned around and left.
"Whose tank belongs to this tank?" Wen Xu suddenly remembered something and pointed to the tank at the door and asked.
"Old Qin, how do you sell your tank?" Lao Guiyi immediately called the old man who was walking out the door again.
The old man turned around and saw that Wen Xu wanted to buy it, and said directly: "If you want a small tank, two hundred one, three hundred five!"
Wen Xu heard that the price was OK, so he said, "Give me two small tanks, I want the kind with a lid. If there is a jar with pickles, I would also want a few!"
After hearing this, Lao Qin turned his head and said, "The jar of pickled vegetables is seventy-five, with a waist so big, so high." He said that, and reached out and gestured.
"So that's the best for me!" Wen Xu said.
"Then let it go. I'll take it to you in two days!" When Lao Qin heard that Wen Xu wanted a lot, he directly proposed a door-to-door delivery service.
Wen Xu heard that it was just right for him. Otherwise, he would have to transport it back by car. It would be so troublesome. The old man saved a lot of effort to deliver the goods to the village.
"I'll have three more pickled vegetables for me and I'll make up my mind!" Wen Xu said.
Wen Shigui was a little confused when he heard that Wen Xu wanted to buy so many pickled vegetables: "What do you want so many pickled vegetables to make?"
Wen Xu explained: "What else can I do? Of course, it is used to pickle vegetables!"
"Do you have to use so much?" Lao Gui, who was standing next to him, couldn't listen any more.
Wen Xu said: "Not too much, I will pickle a little bit of each type, such as salted goose eggs, sugar garlic, sauerkraut, snow vegetables, etc.."
"Yes, I forgot, you guys have some free time!" Wen Shigui heard that Wen Xu had to pickle so many pickles by himself, and immediately waved his hand twice, indicating that he had heard enough and was already letting go of people like Wen Xu.
Wen Xu wrote his address on the cigarette paper handed over by Lao Qin and transferred it to Lao Qin. Lao Qin didn't say much and picked up the note and went out.
Wenxu was about to leave, but Lao Gui spoke and began to teach Wenxu how to train a donkey like Shihuayan.
Lao Gui said: "This donkey is powerful, but it has skills to use it. You can't beat it too much, but you can't beat it. How did the stubborn donkey come from? Isn't it just that the donkey's character is the best thing about donkeys. You can only hit it gently to let it feel your thoughts, but you can't suppress it..."
Wen Xu listened to Lao Gui's teaching the donkey scripture to him, but unfortunately he couldn't understand what the old man was saying at all, so he could only nod and whisper haha.
Wen Shigui is also an old man. He could hear the big beasts and understand a little. He kept nodding and asked some questions from time to time.
After Wen Xu and Lao Gui handed over, the two brothers led the donkey out of the door. Wen Xu drove the car, and the donkey was driven by Wen Shigui.
The two brothers' return style was very attractive. A donkey was walking next to a mainland patrol, and a car was moving forward at a speed. From time to time, a branch was stretched out from the mainland patrol car, and it was thrown on the donkey's back. I don't know how many passers-by were wiped out along the way, but it took me almost half a day to drive the donkey back to the village.
"Uncle Xu, second uncle, what donkey do you two buy? It's as thin as a reed pole?"
Wu Lan, the wife of Yuangang who was wandering around the village, saw Wen Xu and Wen Shigui come back with such a donkey, and she almost laughed to death.
If you say that Wu Lan is a very stingy person, she is the one who is talking about one at home. She trains her husband like a third grandson. When Wen Xu squats at the east end of the village, she can hear it.
However, although this woman has a bad temper, she is not stupid. She knows who can offend and who can't afford to offend anyone in the village. So when she faces Wen Shigui and Wen Xu, she has a good face, and now she is also making fun of herself in her usual joke tone.
Wen Shigui glared: "What do you know? Even if you want to buy this donkey, you have to be lucky. Don't look good at it, but the trailer is the first-class one."
"I don't look like it! Even if I kill it, I don't have a few taels of meat, it looks like a sick donkey!" Wu Lan shook her head and expressed her disbelief.
"If you understand, you will not be Wu Lan." Yuangen, the wife who was eating melon seeds next to her, immediately joked: "If you have good eyesight, can you attract the wood Yuangang?"
Wu Lan immediately replied with a smile: "You know, you can't see it when our Yuangang is not wood! I want to see the lights falling to see the one you go to see at night."
Wu Lan's fierce answer made the women who were watching the fun burst into laughter. Everyone knows when Wu Lan said that, and there is nothing that these women in the countryside dare not say.
The nephew and grandson-in-law were joking. Wen Shigui was an elder after all, and it was not easy for the opposite sex to stay away. He continued to drive the donkey to Wen Xu's yard. Wen Xu was not interested in listening to a group of young wives making jokes about bed brothers from various families, and drove a car and snatched back to his own yard.
Wen Shigui drove the donkey to the door and asked Wen Xu in the yard: "Is there anything you can try to polish it?"
Wen Xu naturally had prepared: "It just so happened that I had prepared dozens of kilograms of wheat here, and I was waiting for this guy to come back and grind it for me!"
"What are you doing with so much wheat?" Wen Shigui asked curiously.
There is nothing to hide about this matter. Wen Xu opened his mouth and said directly: "One of the time, I have no noodles at home, and two, I also said I want to make bread for the children. How can I do without noodles!"
"Just do it!" Wen Shigui pointed at Wen Xu: "If you don't do anything, just toss these things. The noodles ground by the machine are very white. If others can eat them, you can't eat them. You have to use a stone mill!"
"This is life, and I can't understand it! Let's wait for my bread to be ready. Please come and try it out if it is delicious or what I bought on the street." Wen Xu said, turning back to the pot house. Seeing that his second brother did not come, he picked up half a bag of about thirty kilograms of wheat from the space and picked it up.
Wen Shigui saw Wen Xu enter the house and opened his mouth and shouted, "Where is the plywood condom?"
The so-called plywood cover is a human-shaped wooden frame mounted on the neck of a livestock. It is usually equipped with a soft cushion to prevent injury to the livestock. This thing is an indispensable thing for animal pulling and grinding.
"It's all in the mill!" Wen Xu replied.
Leading the donkey and turning to the mill, Wen Shigui remembered another thing: "Have you washed it?"
At this time, Wen Xu carried the bag out of the pot house: "Wash it. Once the mill is done, I brushed the big mill from head to toe. Now I can't find some dust if I want to find it!"
The two brothers moved to the mill again. Wen Shigui put the donkey on a plywood cover, hung the traction ropes on both sides on the grinding rod, and then signaled Wen Xu to pour some of the wheat in his pocket into the grinding hole.
"Add a little more, what's the point of this little wheat for you with such a heavy grinding!" Wen Shigui was a little embarrassed, so he took the scoop in Wen Xu's hand, scooped up half of the scoop of wheat and poured it into the grinding hole.
"It's right to let it go!"
After saying that, Wen Shigui shouted at the big brown donkey: Drive! The big brown donkey began to turn with the mill and started to turn around with the mill. The first time in the brand new mill, the slight hissing sound of the friction of the mill and the stones of the mill was heard. In a short while, the white flour fell down the space between the grinding teeth. The flour on the head was not white, and it was easy to see the color of the wheat skin when you held it in your hand. However, this is only temporary. After the wheat is grinded with a few times, the wheat will be finer and less.
"It's too thick!" Wen Shigui looked at Wen Xu and looked at wheat now, without looking at it at all, and said, "It will take three or four more times to get on the entrance. After grinding, you will have to sieve."
Wen Xu patted the thick face on his hand and smiled, "It's okay, I have time anyway!"
Wen Shigui pretended that he hadn't heard this, and drove the donkey around the millstone to continue grinding the flour. After grinding the millstone into the flour trough, he started grinding again for a second time. Wen Shigui handed the donkey to Wen Xu's hand.
"You try it. If you have any questions, find a kid to call me!" Wen Shigui's family still has a lot of things, so it is naturally impossible to spend time with Wen Xu to grind flour here. After grinding the second batch of old men, they are patient. If it weren't for Wen Xu, Wen Shigui might not have helped him quickly.
"It's okay, second brother, you go and do your business, I'm fine!" Wen Xu looked at the whole process and didn't think there was anything difficult. Didn't he just shout at the donkey from time to time and add some materials to the millstone hole? What's the problem?
After hearing this, Wen Shigui nodded at Wen Xu, then turned around and pushed open the door of the mill and walked out.
After changing into Wen Xu, he drove the donkey himself, but he stopped moving without rushing the donkey.
"I said don't do this for me! Be careful of the whip in my hand!" Wen Xu saw that the donkey had to run twice and stopped moving. He immediately shook the whip in front of the donkey and threatened.
"Ah...ah!"
The donkey was not frightened by Wen Xu, but instead howled at the top of his throat.
Wen Xu is also a representative of human nature. Even if you are a cattle, you are very particular. Although you don’t like the appearance of this donkey, you can’t miss it after buying it.
When I heard the donkey scream, I immediately thought about whether the donkey was hungry. After all, I had been walking for such a long time and had not let the donkey eat grass.
As the saying goes, the emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers. Wen Xu feels that he is a reasonable person. He thought of untiing the plyboard and holding the donkey's reins to put it to eat grass! He returned to his small yard and lay on the recliner and rested.
Who knew that after sleeping like this, Wen Xu would still be asleep until the sun sets. If the scum in the yard was smashed by the black demon king and howled like a pig, Wen Xu would still be asleep.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Wen Xu realized that the sun had set and there were almost no figures in the yard. So he immediately left the yard and wanted to lead the donkey back.
Who knows if this guy is addicted to eating or something? No matter how Wenxu pulls the reins, this guy always raises his head and faces Wenxu. When Wenxu turns, it keeps in a face-to-face position.
"Damn, you kid owe kids, right?" Wen Xu's patience was finally exhausted, and she waved the whip in her hand and made a little ruthlessly at the donkey's butt.
"Ah...ah!"
The donkey started screaming immediately. Now he didn't have to look at Wen Xu, but he directly aimed his butt at Wen Xu, stretching his back hooves to kick Wen Xu.
Fortunately, Wen Xu was smart and prepared. In addition, the donkey's trick was too obvious, and Wen Xu avoided his three legs. Of course, Wen Xu did not idle in his hand and greeted the donkey. So the donkey kept calling out to shout from the small mill, which was very exciting like a big show.
After being so hard that even the dark one could not see anything, Wen Xu let go of the donkey, led it to tie it to the grassland in Qinglongwa, put it to eat grass, and prepared to clean it up tomorrow.
