Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 8 "Old Dog Leftovers" "Big Dog Leftovers"

After a while, Wang Manyin let out a loud roar, and rushed up with a shovel.

As a result, the wild wolf who was grinning just now immediately turned around and fled into the darkness, and soon disappeared.

Wang Manyin stood there and waited for 2 minutes. Seeing that the guy didn't return, he led Rhubarb away.

There were no surprises after that, and I got home safely all the way.

At this point in time, the village was in darkness. It is estimated that many people had already been lying on the kang and fighting.

In addition, Wang Manyin lived far away from other people's homes, so there was no disturbance.

***
In the morning, Wang Manyin was woken up by the chirping magpies as usual.

He put on his clothes and pushed open the door, only to see Da Huang guarding the door, wagging his tail.

It seemed that this guy completely regarded him as his master.

Wang Manyin was eager to solve his personal problems, but he didn't care, and walked out of the cave subconsciously.

As a result, my feet were soft and I stepped on something.

He hurriedly raised his feet and jumped, turning his head to find a fat big mouse at the door, and two small ones beside it...

"Who the hell is so wicked, letting dead rats at my door?!" Wang Manyin couldn't help but curse.

It is really bad luck to see dead rats in the morning.

"Wow..." At this moment, the mangy dog ​​wagged its tail and barked joyfully again.

"Rhubarb, you caught it?" Wang Manyin immediately came to his senses.If someone had released dead mice in front of the cave last night, Rhubarb would have been barking.

It should be right, this guy caught him.

In memory, farmers on the Loess Plateau have the habit of eating mice, but they are voles.

In addition, it also eats ground squirrels and zokors, and has a long history.

Especially the ground squirrel is a rare delicacy, which was mentioned in many ancient poems.

What is "the squirrel is cooked early in the sky, and the sable is made of cold clothes in the ancient desert", "the squirrel escapes quickly with white fat, and the night monkey fights the rat with victory.", "the squirrel is fat and the rice wine is ripe, and I wish Kinmen three times in ten thousand years." ".

In the final analysis, it is still poor.

As a later generation, Wang Manyin can hardly accept eating this kind of food, and he does not intend to let rhubarb eat it.

There are too many bacteria and parasites in the main mouse.

Of course, another point is that there are many rats in the countryside now, and many people will put rat poison at home.In case rhubarb is eaten by poisoned mice, it is not worthwhile, so it must be eliminated from the source.

In order to prevent this guy from stealing food, Wang Manyin decided to dig a hole and bury it deep in the dung pile, and use it as retting.

Seeing that there was no one around, he directly pulled the hemp rope to release the water that had accumulated all night.

This wave is a normal operation. Few people in rural areas have special toilets, and most of them are connected with pigpens.

If there is no toilet, personal problems are basically solved in the open air.

Anyway, there are ditches and ridges everywhere, and you can find any Gelao to cover them tightly, and then use a shovel to shovel them back to your own dung pile, after all, soil dung is expensive.

Of course, those who are particular about it will deliberately dig a hole near the cave, and pile a circle of firewood around it as a shelter.

Wang Manyin also intends to do the same, but has not had time to implement it.

After solving his personal problems, he buried a few mice deep in the cesspit before returning to the house to wash his face and cook.

When the fire was lit, Wang Manyin remembered that he had eaten all the steamed corn nests a few days ago, and now it was time to leaven the noodles.

There is no baking powder these days, and old yeast is needed for steaming corn nests.

The only bit left at home was used up last time, and Wang Manyin couldn't do it.

From memory, the predecessor had a good relationship with the neighbor Wang Qiusheng, and every time he went to the other party's house to beg for the old yeast.

Of course, when Wang Manyin came back from outings, he occasionally brought some candy to Wang Qiusheng's children.

Wang Manyin was going to ask for some in the morning. As for breakfast...he might as well bake some Erhe noodles pancakes.

After making up his mind, he went to the space to look around, only to find one egg.

He grabbed another handful of garlic sprouts and leeks, and started kneading noodles in front of the stove.

Pancakes are easy to make.To put it bluntly, as long as you are willing to put oil and control the heat, it will be delicious.

After a while, the crispy smell wafted out of the cave.

The pancakes just out of the pan were browned and sizzling with hot oil, which greatly increased Wang Manyin's appetite.

But this thing is still raw inside, so it must be steamed in a pot.

He was busy here when he suddenly heard rhubarb screaming from outside the cave.

Immediately afterwards, a child cried.

Wang Manyin hurriedly opened the door and went out, only to see Rhubarb yelling at three children in the distance, scaring them into tears.

"Dahuang, come back." He hurriedly called to the dog, and then asked a few little guys, "Damn, why are you here?"

These three little guys in ragged cotton jackets with dirty faces and snot noses were the children of Wang Qiusheng's family.

The eldest is Mao Dan, the second is Shitou, and the third is a woman named Xiao Nizi.These names sound very old-fashioned, but they are normal in this era.

Because in people's minds, the lower the nickname, the easier it is to feed.

Withstood beatings, withstood pain.

In addition, there are Tiedan and Gousheng, which are also names with a high rate of appearance.

In Guanzi Village alone, there are three people named Gousheng.In order to distinguish them, people call them "old dog leftover", "big dog leftover" and "little dog leftover".

"Uncle Man Yin, what delicious food does your house make? It smells so good." Maodan asked while sniffling his nose, with longing in his eyes.

This guy is nine years old this year. Due to long-term malnutrition, his small body is extremely thin, his face is sallow, his eye sockets are sunken, and his cheekbones are raised, giving him a feeling that a strong wind can blow him.

The youngest girl, Xiao Nizi, is 4 years old and has messy hair.Also due to malnutrition and calcium deficiency, Xiaonizi's arms are not as thick as a stick, and she still can't walk steadily. At this moment, she is being carried by her brother.

As for the stone beside him, he is 6 years old this year. This guy is gentle and gentle, and he doesn't say a word when he sees people.

"You guys have really sharp noses. I'm making pancakes. Let's play here for a while, and I'll let you have a taste..."

Wang Manyin didn't bake the pancakes too thickly, so it should be cooked by now.

He took out one and tasted it first. The taste was hard, but the taste was very good.

Seeing the three little guys staring at him helplessly, he gave each of them one and asked them to carry it home.

Before leaving, Wang Manyin confessed again: "Go back and tell your dad, three pancakes for a handful of old yeast."

In the end, within 2 minutes, Rhubarb screamed again, followed by Wang Qiusheng's voice.

"Brother Qiusheng, you are here..." Wang Manyin hurriedly scolded the local dog.

"Man Yin, when did your family have a dog?" Wang Qiusheng asked curiously.

"Two days earlier, I went to the commune to go to the market, and I picked one up on the road. This thing hit me like a charm, so I followed it back." In reply, Wang Manyin said again, "Brother Qiusheng, have you eaten, come to my house to eat?"

"We've also done a good job. Just now a few scumbags came to your house to beg for food again. Don't give them a good face next time, or you will keep pestering them."

"It's okay, brother Qiusheng, it's just a bite to eat," Wang Manyin shook his head.

Wang Qiusheng is also an honest man, he only knows how to dig food from the soil, and he is willing to work hard for the production team.But these days, if you work hard, you may not be able to eat enough.

They have a large family, and only the husband and wife earn work points.The family has three children and a blind old mother who cannot work.

Because of this, the food allocated is not enough to eat.

The children in the family often screamed with hunger, and owed famine every year in the team.

Because the two families lived close to each other, Wang Qiusheng's family treated their predecessors fairly well.Usually Wang Manyin's clothes and quilts are torn and mended, and Wang Qiusheng's mother-in-law helps to do it.

In addition, this guy is too lazy to grow vegetables, and often goes to other people's private plots to search for them.

In this regard, Wang Qiusheng never said anything.

Therefore, Wang Manyin is still willing to help the other party if he can.

"By the way, Man Yin, this is the old yeast, I grabbed a handful for you."

In addition to coming to express his gratitude, Wang Qiusheng mainly sent yeast.

Wang Manyin took it and asked: "Brother Qiusheng, do you know how to make yeast? I will try to make it in the future, and I can't keep using yours."

He is not as thick-skinned as his predecessor, and plans to do it himself in the future.

"Man Yin, this is simple, you left a ball of dough when you steamed the corn cob today..."

That's it, that's it?
