Chapter 77
The fields are full of traces of being turned over. After the moist soil in the field is turned over by a hoe, it will be evaporated and dry in a few minutes.
The summer harvest of the entire Twinings City has been completed. Although there are many unexpected twists and turns along the way, overall, it can be regarded as a bumper harvest summer.
Grandma Wei's family looked at the grain piled up at home, and she didn't know what mood she was in. It's not bad to say that I'm in a bad mood. It's not bad to have such a harvest when there are such natural and man-made disasters. But thinking about the food she planted in the village before, the harvest is more than double that of now, but now the harvest is not only less, but the effort is more than before, and I always feel uncomfortable.
"Grandma, don't be emo, at least our family hasn't lost anything. Think about it, the food in many people's homes has been eaten by locusts." Grandma sighed, "I just think
the quality of the food at home is not good, you see Looking at Nanzhi’s family, each sweet potato grows bigger, better than before, their family only has two acres of land, ours is more than twice that of theirs, and their food quantity is almost two-thirds of ours.”
"Their family takes good care of them. I saw them often weeding and watering." Wei Junlang thought about Nanzhi's three members of his family, and these grains would be enough to eat, but Nanzhi is really good at growing grain.
"We will work harder next year, and strive to grow two or three catties of sweet potatoes!"
Nanzhi and Lu Xingyun, who are "expert at farming", have already arrived at the trading area.
They usually come here every ten days to see what fresh goods are on the market or what they need. But most of the time there is no such thing as shopping.
When they came to the trading area this time, they obviously felt that there was a lot more popularity here. Probably everyone had a bumper harvest, and they had surplus food in their hands to visit the trading area and buy things for the family.
Walking into the trading area, Nan Zhi and Lu Xingyun were a little puzzled, as if they could faintly smell fried food.
This kind of taste is very common in cities before natural disasters. There are shops selling fried snacks in the snack streets of every city, such as fried chicken fried crispy chicken fried chicken, marinated with salt and spices at home in advance, and then It was taken to the street and fried on the spot, and finally sprinkled with cumin and chili noodles. The intriguing fragrance, few people can resist it before the natural disaster.
Although the taste of deep-fried food now has a lot less seasoning than the fried food before the natural disaster, in the eyes of citizens who have not eaten meat for several months and have not smelled such a large-scale seasoning bombardment, the appeal of this taste is simply It is several times higher than those fried foods before the natural disaster.
Nanzhi has already seen several people swallowing their saliva and walking towards the source of the smell.
Nanzhi's family just killed a pig two days ago, ate pig dishes, and fried pork suet. Now, they don't have much desire to eat this taste, but they are still very curious. Who is it at this time? Also come to sell fried food, really a big family.
That merchant was very conspicuous, because there were layers of people standing in front of their booth, and it was so dark that it was impossible to get in. Nanzhi could only piece together the specific situation inside from the outside based on the words and phrases around him.
"Is it so expensive? I didn't bring so much food today."
"Dad, I want to eat it!"
"Isn't it just grasshoppers? They are everywhere, so why are they so expensive
?
" There is chicken!"
Lu Xingyun is 1.8 meters tall and close to 1.9 meters tall, a head taller than the men and women around him, and he can clearly see what's going on inside. In front of three men wearing short-sleeved black aprons, a large pot was set up, inside which were frying a lot of things wearing wooden sticks. The oil in
the pot was bubbling because of fried skewers.
Lu Xingyun knew what they were blowing up.
There are many wooden skewers on the wooden board, which are covered with grasshoppers, and a lot of chicken is chopped beside it. Two pieces of chicken are threaded on one skewer, and there is a paper cup used to drink water and an electronic scale next to it.
There is also a cardboard on the wooden board, on which is written "a bunch of grasshoppers and a cup of rice (one catty of sweet potatoes or potatoes or corn), a bunch of chickens and three catties of rice (six catties of sweet potatoes or potatoes or corn)" are now on the market There is indeed less and less rice, and the hard currency in circulation is probably sweet potatoes, potatoes and cornmeal. Turning his head, he saw that Nanzhi was a little sunken here, resting on his toes, unable to hold on and put it down again, his head was still held high, eager to see what was going on inside, so he asked, "Want to see inside?" Nanzhi nodded , Rolling his eyes, he replied crisply, "I want to!" No matter how much he refused, he could only try his best to satisfy her. Lu Xingyun squatted on the ground, "Come and sit on my shoulder." Nan Zhi wanted to see but felt that this was very embarrassing. If she really sat on it, it would be more eye-catching, and her eyes were tangled in place. Lu Xingyun didn't give her a chance to refuse, and directly grabbed the person on his shoulders, and then Lu Xingyun stood up. Nanzhi's field of vision gradually became higher and wider, and he finally saw what was going on inside. Because she was far away from the ground, she felt insecure and could only hold onto Lu Xingyun's head tightly. Before she could be embarrassed, she calmed down, because few people around noticed them, they were all smelling the fragrance and looking at the delicious fried skewers, Nanzhi was also attracted by the scene inside. A child was pulling his mother and crying, crying and clamoring to eat this fried skewer. Not to mention that children can't hold on, even some adults are eager to take out the food in their pockets and exchange them for these delicious meat skewers. "MD, I haven't smelled meat for more than half a year. Now I finally met a meat kebab seller. I have harvested so much food. I can still take out this sweet potato. Fry a bunch of chicken and grasshopper skewers for me. " A man in a white shirt with a yellow patch gritted his teeth and took a small bag of sweet potatoes from his pocket beside him.
The small man next to the fried skewer man had sharp ears, and when he heard what the man said, he hurriedly said, "Okay, brother, there are seven catties of sweet potatoes in total, come here and weigh them." When the man really wanted to take out the sweet potatoes, he I was a little bit reluctant, and murmured, "Can I have less, such a small amount of meat will cost me seven catties of sweet potatoes, it's a money grab..." "Brother, look at our fried skewers, which are real chicken And grasshopper, everyone knows how hard it is to get this chicken. There are so many seasonings and oils. You can smell how delicious our skewers are. Besides, this is the last bit of stock in our house, so I just point to this thing Earn some food for the three of us to survive the winter, and the eldest brother should be considerate of us." " Then we don't have much food at home, can you give me less." " Oh, forget it, it seems that the elder brother sincerely wants to buy us Big brother is also our first customer, so I will give big brother a discount. Let’s do this, not seven catties, five catties, no less, our oil and condiments also cost. Especially this oil but The last bottle of rapeseed oil in our family, in order to fry skewers for everyone today, we also disassembled that bottle of oil for everyone..." Nan Zhi couldn't believe how good the oil was, it was fried until it turned black, There is still a little oil residue in it, probably because it has been fried many times. Can this be regarded as "newly opened rapeseed oil?" But the elder brother was fascinated by the delicious food in front of him, so he quickly gave the food and took the two skewers of chicken and grasshopper meat in his hand, and he couldn't wait for them When it cooled down, I hurriedly stuffed it into my mouth. "Hiss~" Hearing this sound, he knew that his tongue had been scalded. The people who were still watching next to him saw that the man was eating with relish, the corners of his mouth were oily, and there were remnants of chili noodles and cumin noodles, and felt that his saliva was secreting even more. So one after another people came forward to buy, "Give me two skewers of grasshoppers!", "Give me a skewer of chicken!", "I want five skewers of grasshoppers, as long as cumin noodles, no chili noodles, and more seasonings !!" Nan Zhi patted Lu Xingyun on the head, motioning for him to put him down.
Lu Xingyun put Nan Zhi down and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"
Nan Zhi shook her head, she didn't like to eat grasshoppers at all, there was only a little bit of chicken, most of them were bones, it was not worth it at all, it was better to return it by herself It's not that there is no seasoning at home.
It may be the herd effect, except for a few people who are really determined or who really can't afford the food at home, after the quarrel, most people choose to buy a bunch to taste and put forward their own requirements.
In just ten minutes, all the grasshoppers and chicken placed on the wooden boards were put into the pot, and they were sold out in minutes.
Later, many people came here one after another. They all came here after hearing or smelling the fragrance here. But I can only watch others eating fried skewers, because the stall owner has sold out.
Seeing that the three brothers had already closed their stalls, most of them left with regret.
Those who left behind were envious when they saw that the three brothers had sold several thousand catties of grain with just a few grasshoppers and chicken.
A few days ago, there were grasshoppers overwhelming the fields in the suburbs. Why didn't they think of catching grasshoppers to sell, and they missed so much food.
Nanzhi and Lu Xingyun held hands and went home. Anyway, most people today have already been charmed by those bunches of grasshoppers, and it's meaningless to go shopping any longer.
Unexpectedly, when I returned home, I saw another big show.
The hostess of the home that stole electricity on the first floor was chasing a man and a woman with a knife in her house, "Li Jiangsheng, fuck 'your mother, I worked so hard to raise children for you, and you treat me like this In order to repay your money, our family saves food and expenses every day, even if we can’t eat even one more grain of rice, but you take a lot of the grain I planted to go whoring and sleep with this bitch? These days I can't get over it, I'll kill you and it's over!"
At first, Li Jiangsheng still felt guilty about being raped, but when he saw his yellow-faced woman coming for real, he started running and scolding, "You're fucking enough, you crazy Mother-in-law, if you kill me, you will become a widow. Do you want to be a widow who is ridiculed? How embarrassing it is to be noisy outside, can we talk slowly when we go home?"
"Widow? I want to be this widow today! What are you talking about? I don't want to talk to you anymore. I want to divorce you! You don't have to be afraid of shame if you go whoring! What are you afraid of?
" Knowing what happened, I stood by and watched the excitement with relish, and a few of them held the grasshopper skewers in their hands while watching and eating them. The skewers in their hands were quite delicious.
The days without entertainment are so boring, watching the scumbag cheating and the ex-wife swearing at the streets can be surrounded by people on the inner and outer three floors to watch the excitement.
Lu Xingyun looked at his daughter-in-law who was enjoying watching, and lifted her back collar, "It's nothing to look at, let's go home." "
Wait, wait, I want to finish watching..."
but was "spicy and ruthless " " Lu Xingyun stopped, what's so interesting about it, why not go home and watch SpongeBob SquarePants catching jellyfish.
