【111】Pig raising is like this
The two acres of corn in Henan were all broken and loaded into the truck. It was less than ten o'clock. Chen Yu wanted to drive a tricycle and said that he had driven it before. Fang Lujun was embarrassed to refuse, but he was worried, so he followed him to drive home.
There is more than one acre of corn in Hebei. If you ask Fang Lujun about his opinion, he will most likely say he doesn't need to do it anymore, so Fang Chang'an simply took action first and then reported, and directly led a group of classmates to kill him.
After working for more than an hour, everyone's freshness and enthusiasm have diminished. After arriving at the place in Chang'an, Wang Yuwei and the other girls first asked Wang Yuwei and the others to dig holes next to the trench on the ground, pick up firewood, and prepare to wait for the food to be roasted.
Something that was fun motivated was somewhat boosted. After Fang Lujun drove back, he said that there was no need to do it here. Chen Yu took the lead and made it clean in one go. The others agreed. Seeing this, Fang Lujun didn't say anything else. He carried a bag into the corn seedlings and quickly broke it up.
This acre of corn was only loaded with a half car. After finishing it at around 11 o'clock, Fang Lujun called home and prepared to cook.
Fang Chang'an said: "Dad, go back first, let's bake something first, and leave later."
"Yes, yes, uncle, go back first."
"We'll go later."
A group of boys and girls agreed and persuaded Fang Lujun to leave. Fang Chang'an ordered: "Chen Yu, you and my brother go to the west to dig sweet potatoes. Don't dig too big. We can't cook it. Yanran, go and call Qiuqiu, there are peanuts grown by her family there, so dig more."
Chen Yu, Wang Chuanbiao, Lu Wei followed Fang Changming to steal sweet potatoes, Shen Mo, Wang Ke, Wang Yuwei followed Fang Yanran to borrow peanuts, Fang Chang'an asked Zhou Yifei to dig the hole a little bigger, and then led Wang Yuwei and others to the pear orchard east to pick up branches and dry leaves.
A group of people came back soon, Fang Dianqiu, Fang Tiantian, Fang Dianzhou and the three siblings also followed. Fang Changan rolled up his sleeves and was about to take action, and then he remembered a key question: "Who has a lighter?"
The group of people looked at each other and didn't say anything.
Fang Chang'an looked at Zhou Yifei, Lu Wei, Wang Chuanbiao and Chen Yu, and smiled and said, "I really take it, don't hide it. As long as you don't smoke in the class, no one will complain."
"I believe in the squad leader."
Chen Yu chuckled, "Zhou Yifei, take it out, don't hide it."
"Damn, why don't you take it yourself?"
Zhou Yifei wanted to hit someone, but he still took out a lighter from his pocket awkwardly.
Fang Chang'an first spread a few sweet potatoes that are not big or small, evenly sized, under the pit, then lay a layer of branches, then put the leaves and hay, then put them down, and then put the branches to ignite them.
Shen Mo and the others held the corn cob and peanuts, and asked eagerly: "Can you put it in?"
"Give it to me."
Fang Chang'an put the corn cob next to the bottom of the pit, and asked Chen Yu to dig a shallower pit next to it with a shovel, put all the peanuts in, and lighted the fire and roasted them alone.
More than ten people divided into two groups, squatting or lying on the ground and surrounding the ditch. You threw a branch and I sprinkled a handful of leaves. It looked very meaningful that everyone was picking up firewood. From time to time, you directed me and said something, which was very lively.
"The fire is too big, use low heat first and don't burn it."
"Take a flip of that sweet potato."
"I can't use my hands either."
"I'll do it, I'll do it!"
The peanuts were cooked quickly first. In fact, the peanuts just pulled out of the field were better cooked, but conditions did not allow it. Anyway, no one could eat them, so Fang Chang'an was too lazy to care about them.
Just as he said, it’s fine to bake, it doesn’t matter whether you can eat it or not.
But when the time was almost over, he pulled out a peanut from the fire, peeled off the black rind, and tasted it. The outer layer on one side was hard and burnt. Most of the places were still a little soft, but the taste was good.
He chewed and said, "You taste it, the fire is smaller, but don't extinguish it."
As a result, a group of people were scattered and I scattered, but the fire was not extinguished, and the peanuts were gone first.
“There are plenty in my house.”
Fangdianzhou didn't eat a few pills, nor did he know a few people, but he was very active. He stood up and ran to his own field, "Uncle Changming, go, I'll pull a little more."
Fang Changming looked at Fang Dianqiu, and Fang Dianqiu whispered: "It's better not let my mother see it."
Fang Changming nodded, took two peanuts, rubbed them into his mouth, and stood up and followed them. Fang Yanran originally wanted to go, but was afraid that she would be taken secretly this time and would be caught again, so she didn't leave. She squatted between her elder brother and two beautiful sisters, waiting for the sweet potatoes to be cooked.
The first round of peanuts was roasted unevenly, some were cooked, and some were half-baked. Fortunately, everyone didn’t dislike it and ate it very well. The second round of houses Chang'an learned the lesson and stopped everyone from touching it around, and slowly moved it evenly.
As a result, the peanuts here had just been finished, and no one cared about the sweet potatoes there, and the fire was extinguished. I quickly went to light the fire again and divided the people to watch.
Corn and sweet potatoes are divided into two groups, and they are divided into more than ten together. They are divided into two groups. Fang Chang'an is worried that it will not be cooked, so he roasted it for a while and it will be a lot of scorched. Fortunately, the edible part is very fragrant, and the overall evaluation is better than peanuts.
After roasting, the boys and girls were separated. Shen Mo's white fingers were black and there was a lot of dips on his mouth. He took a small piece of white potato with charred skin from Wang Ke, and ate it in small mouthfuls. He didn't forget to say to Fang Chang'an: "This is delicious, let's bake a little more."
Wang Yuwei looked similar, laughing softly, "I think so."
Before Fang Chang'an could speak, Fang Dianzhou said actively: "My family has planted it too!"
The subtext is: "Steal my house!"
Fang Chang'an's family was actually planted, but it was too far from here to the south of the village.
He also wanted to eat, but he still said, "Forget it, my parents are still cooking at home. Are there three more here? It's time to go back to eat after eating."
Chen Yu said: "Sweet potatoes don't suppress hunger. No matter what you are full, we will digest them when we walk back."
Wang Chuanbiao also promised: "We will definitely not delay lunch!"
Wang Ke squatted beside Shen Mo, holding a piece of black sweet potato skin in both hands, and carefully gnawed the sweet sweet potato on it. He nodded hard to Fang Chang'an like a mascot, as if expressing the meaning of "I will definitely be very edible later."
It was difficult for everyone to disagree, so Fang Chang'an had to nod and said, "Okay, go dig a few more."
Fang Dianzhou immediately volunteered: "I'll go! Dig my house!"
Fang Changfeng and his wife had already gone home first, so there was no need to worry about being seen, so Fang Dianzhou led the way, Fang Changming, Chen Yu, Wang Chuanbiao and Wu Di followed, and dug up a dozen more, baking them in two fire pits.
After the meal, it was already twelve o'clock. Fang Chang'an touched his stomach. Although he didn't feel full, he was not so hungry. He looked at the others, his hands and mouths were all black, and he couldn't help but worry.
With Fang Lujun's personality, it is definitely better to eat more than less food. A group of people ate a lot of sweet potatoes and corn. This thing is easy to digest and digest, but it is not so fast. My parents have made a bunch of food and will definitely be left.
When Fang Changan and the others returned home, corn cobs were piled high in the middle of the yard, and two tables were placed next to the main hall. The other one was borrowed from their uncle's house. Obviously, the stool was the same. Fang Changan counted and added the bench, so he could barely sit down.
I have used all the towels at home for several years. Fang Changan came back last week and brought two of them. Cangyan had obviously cleaned up all the old towels and hung four new towels on the lanyard between the main hall and the kitchen. It should have just bought two more at the meeting.
The enamel basin that had been knocked down was washed again, which was obviously cleaner than usual. In addition, a plastic basin was prepared, which was also newly purchased and watered.
Fang Lujun heard the movement and came out of the kitchen. He greeted a group of students enthusiastically and gentlely: "Wash first, rub your face and neck, and the big millet leaves are itchy."
Millet (shǔ) is one of the five grains and is rare nowadays. Big millet is the common name for corn here.
The girls were embarrassed to wipe their necks, and there was no need. They just washed their hands and faces. The boys got into the corn seedlings. Fang Chang'an had long felt that his neck was itchy, but it was not convenient to take a shower, so he had to wash his face and wipe his neck.
There were two tables of food, and everyone consciously sat separately according to the men and women. The dishes on the two tables were the same. The steamed buns I bought, four cold dishes, cold ingredients, braised beef, donkey meat, dog meat, stir-fried potatoes, fried eggplant, skewers, white meatballs and egg soup were roasted on the coal stove, and pork belly, dried beans, cabbage, and bean peel were stewed on the stove.
The result is obviously half left.
Fang Lujun ate faster. Although she ate late, she finished her meal quickly and slowly. She was the last one to eat. After all, she was still eating slowly.
Fang Chang'an didn't get up even after he was full, and he served a bowl of soup and drank slowly. During this process, Chen Yu and the other boys stood up one after another. Zhou Xiaoyan and Feng Yanyan finished eating, and also stood up, and Zhang Jing also stood up.
Shen Mo, Wang Ke, and Wang Yuwei were sitting still. Wang Yuwei took the initiative to find topics to chat. Shen Mo said occasionally, and Wang Ke was drinking soup and paddling silently, just like Fang Chang'an.
Chen Yu and the others stood up, and consciously carried the small stool to the pile of corn cobs, and began to work regardless of Fang Lujun's dissuasion.
After picking the corn cob, it is necessary to dry it. Generally, the outermost layer of the bracts wrapped outside is torn off, leaving some, and weaving two or two. Chen Yu and Zhou Yifei are not very skilled, but they can weave it, and take the initiative to guide others to do it.
Fang Lujun originally wanted to take a break, but when he saw that everyone was helping with his work, he sat down to do it together.
Seeing this, Fang Chang'an got up and stretched his body, and came to work. Zhang Jing, Feng Yanyan and Zhou Xiaoyan also came over curiously and learned how to make up.
Shen Mo was curious about the baby, and saw this and came over. After playing for a long time, he found that Wang Yuwei and Wang Ke had not come. He looked back and was helping to clean up the dishes and chopsticks together.
She turned her head and looked at her for two seconds, turned around and saw Fang Chang'an looking at her. Her face became hot inexplicably, she glared at him fiercely, and continued to play with her "corn cob weaving rope" seriously and clumsyly.
Conveniently, Wang Yuwei and Wang Ke only let them take care of each other, and did not let them wash their hands. Therefore, the two soon came to join the army of "wired ropes". More than a dozen people formed a circle. As the novices gradually became more skillful, the corn pile that might have to be dried for several days in the past was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After working until three o'clock in one go, there was not much left of the corn pile. Fang Chang'an saw that Chen Yu and Zhou Yifei, who were the most active in their work, also slowed down and said, "The time is almost over. The water in the river should be the hottest now. Let's catch fish."
"OK!"
Shen Mo, who had only made up a long list of them in two hours, immediately responded positively, and then reacted and said a little embarrassedly: "That's all left, let's go after finishing our work."
Fang Lujun and Congqing both said, "No, no, you guys go play, this is the only thing left, and it will be finished soon."
The group of people was indeed a little tired and had a good time. After hearing this, they all stood up under Fang Chang'an.
Fang Chang'an found an old washbasin for the chickens to mix feed at home, and took Shen Mo to see the pigpen.
The pigpen is divided into two parts. One end is a small house made of bricks and tiles. The soil is covered with hay. The outside is built with gray troughs. There is still some residual feed inside.
The soil in the circle was arched by pigs, and it was raining some time ago, and it was still muddy today, and some relatively low-lying places were simply muddy.
It is rare to see native black pigs, and they are all raised in white pigs, because although the former has better meat quality, it grows slowly and has too low efficiency. While foreign pigs grow fast, they can be raised after the Spring Festival every year, and can be slaughtered before the New Year and make money quickly.
When Shen Mo came, the already fat pig seemed to have just woken up, came out of the hay-covered "house", walked into the mud and water, slapped his big ears, and then stood up, arched with his nose, and slapped it from time to time, splashing the mud and water flying.
Shen Mo didn't expect that raising pigs was like this, completely different from the fun and fun I imagined. He couldn't help but say a little disappointed: "That's it!"
Wang Ke, Wang Yuwei, Zhang Jing, Zhou Xiaoyan, Feng Yanyan and two boys, Lu Wei and Wu Di, heard her words, Wang Ke said a little strangely: "That's how it is."
Shen Mo pouted and turned to look at the house Chang'an.
Wang Yuwei didn't say anything from beginning to end, and turned to look at him at this time.
Fang Changan nodded and smiled, "Indeed, this is how raising pigs is."
"oh."
