Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 97 I have a friend...

The task assigned by Wang Lianshun was overfulfilled by Wang Manyin.

Not long after leaving Shigejie Commune, he appeared by the Dongla River.The figure disappeared in a flash, and when it reappeared, there was an extra thorn basket in his hand.

Hearing the cry of frogs in the shallow water not far away, Wang Manyin immediately tiptoed over.

Soon, I saw a guy in green skin floating on the water, with two air bubbles on his cheeks, and he was singing and sending out a courtship signal.

Before he got close, the guy noticed something unusual on the shore, and quickly turned around and sank to the bottom.

This guy thought that he would not be found if he sank to the bottom of the water, but in fact he was deceiving himself.That coquettish green skin is particularly conspicuous at the bottom of the water, and has already betrayed it deeply.

Wang Manyin immediately dragged the twig basket with both hands, and it fell down suddenly and quickly, splashing all the frogs and water onto the bank.Following him, he rushed forward, grabbed a slippery object in his hand, and threw it into the space.

Frogs, like fish, prefer clear, shallow water.

He searched along the entire shallow puddle, caught two more, and accidentally found a large group of frog eggs.

This thing feels a bit like jelly glue, and the balls are transparent, with black spots the size of sesame seeds wrapped in the center.

Wang Manyin was very happy when he saw this, and immediately disappeared with his hands in his hands.

When it reappeared, it was already at the edge of the pond.

Fearing that the frog eggs would be eaten by other fish as food, he did not dare to put them directly into the pond, but instead intercepted a section of the ditch and temporarily placed them in it.

There are at least a few hundred frog eggs in this group. It is estimated that in a month or so, the space will be full of frog sounds, and it may even flood.

But for Wang Manyin, it is not difficult.

Frogs are much easier to catch than locusts. At worst, they can be secretly released into the Dongla River, and they can also add some meat to the villagers in Guanzi Village.

There is no animal protection law these days, and all the edible things in the sky and the earth are the recipes of farmers.How many of the rural children born in the [-]s and [-]s have never eaten frogs?
Therefore, Wang Manyin has no burden to do these things.

With three frogs as the base, he was relieved, washed his hands and turned back to the dirt road.

Wang Manyin held three catties of pork in his left hand and a large intestine in his right hand. When he appeared in the breeding room compound, he walked out of a pace that his relatives did not recognize.

"Man Yin...you can do it, kid, you can get pig intestines!" When he saw what Wang Manyin was holding in his hand, even Wang Changshou couldn't help but click his tongue, "This large intestine can make at least three catties of lard. Well, there will be no shortage of oil for cooking in the future.”

After seeing it, the other helping mothers-in-law also praised it without words.

In their eyes, this is the performance of ability.In other words, all the mothers-in-law and aunts in the village are not envious of orchids.After getting married, you don't need to go to work, and you can enjoy your life at home.Keeping a consignment point, you can eat whatever you want.

Based on their vision and experience, they feel that this is the most comfortable profession.

"Uncle Shouchang, the large intestine is not clean, you have to clean it up again." Wang Manyin specifically explained when he handed over the things in his hand.

The pig large intestines sold at the food stations have only been washed hastily, and they still have a rich smell on them.

He was really afraid that the other party's big pot meal would be sloppy, and such a good thing would be for nothing.If it is not handled well, it will make your teeth bitter in your mouth.

Don't ask why Wang Manyin knows, just ask "I have a friend..."

"Don't worry, I've been cooking for decades, how could I ruin my own brand name. Clean it up now, and try to get the laborers to add a dish at noon. Don't go to the construction site, help me light the fire..."

Wang Shouchang ordered again.

He didn't think it was dirty, so he poured a basin of clean water, squatted down and began to wash the large intestine.Clean it twice in succession, change the water again, add salt and knead repeatedly until the large intestine turns from gray-green to white.

Seeing that he is so professional, Wang Manyin was relieved.

According to Wang Shouchang, this stuff has to be handled just right, it's really tasteless and tasteless, and it's also unpalatable if it tastes heavy.

After the large intestine is processed, drain the water, and then cut it into sections and pour it into the pot to refine the oil.

Soon, a unique smell of meat filled the courtyard.

In order to prevent the fishy smell from being too strong, Wang Shouchang also threw a few slices of ginger and scallions into the pot.

After the meal was ready, Wang Manyin didn't go to the construction site to join in the fun, and directly brought a bowl of fried yams with pig intestines, planning to go home and eat with Lanhua.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw the three children of Wang Qiusheng's family playing in the deep ditch.

"Uncle Man Yin, what are you serving?" Xiao Nizi hurried over and asked with anticipation and excitement on her dirty face.

Shi Shi and Mao Dan also ran up to him, but they didn't make a sound.

A few broken babies have pointed noses.

"Good stuff, come to my house..."

Wang Manyin was planning to send some to them later, but now that they met, it would be easier to call home to eat.

After all, Maodan was older, so he hurriedly stopped his younger siblings and said, "Uncle Man Yin, my father won't let us go to your house to eat..."

"Then do you want to go?" Wang Manyin asked with a smile.

"Yes," the three little guys replied in unison.

"What are you talking about, let's go, just don't tell your dad when you go back," Wang Manyin patted Mao Dan's head, sighed inwardly, and led them to the house.

Even if there is space, there is not much I can do in the face of the general trend.It's just that within the scope of one's ability, let a few broken children eat a few more mouthfuls of food.Give a few candies to supplement some nutrition.

What can really make all the people in Guanzi Village eat a few more mouthfuls is to raise fish in the silting dam.This is also the reason why Wang Manyin is willing to make an effort.

Before he knew it, he had integrated into the entire collective of Guanzi Village.

In fact, there was not much meat in a bowl of sautéed yams with large intestines. Wang Manyin and Lan Hua only took two pieces to taste, and the rest went into the mouths of the three broken babies.

Along with it, one of them gnawed another black nest.

By the time Wang Qiusheng's mother-in-law and aunt cooked the meal and called for help, they were already full.

Sending the three broken babies away, the two were eating when they soon heard Wang Qiusheng's mother-in-law and aunt Xie Dongmei shouting.

"Sister-in-law Dongmei, what's the matter?" Lan Hua hurriedly greeted her with a bowl.

"Lanhua, Maodan and the others are too talkative! They are causing you trouble again. I have explained to Qiusheng many times, but I didn't listen to what I said. There is nothing good at home, just a few days ago the chicken laid a few eggs." Xie Dongmei said a little embarrassedly.

Not a family, do not enter a door.Both she and Wang Qiusheng are honest people, and they don't want to take advantage of others at all.Today I heard that the three children went to Wang Manyin's house for dinner, Xie Dongmei couldn't sit still anymore, wrapped a dozen eggs in a towel and delivered them to her door.

"It's okay, sister-in-law Dongmei, we are neighbors... I also heard from Man Yin that you often helped him. The eggs are still at the old price, 3 cents each. How much do you have?" Lan Hua reached out to take the towel and was about to put it on the ground counting.

Seeing that the other party misunderstood, Xie Dongmei quickly shook her head: "It's not orchids, I don't sell eggs, I give them to you."

"Send?" Lan Hua was taken aback for a moment, and then realized, "Sister-in-law Dongmei, I can't take this, what do you think of us! Man Yin..."

Hearing the shout, Wang Manyin also went out with his rice bowl.

After he understood the whole story, he said helplessly, "Sister-in-law, it's just a few pig intestines, what's the matter? We two adults can't eat it and let them watch. Besides, you didn't help me much before..."

Wang Manyin talked about everything, and finally let the other party go home with eggs.

After eating and resting at home for a while, he rushed to the construction site again.

Although Wang Lianshun said that he would be calculated as a day's work, Wang Manyin did not intend to really rest.In fact, working on the construction site, talking and laughing with people is not too tiring.

Of course, this is mainly the reason why nutrition can keep up.

When he arrived at Dongshanmao, it wasn't long before the laborers put down their bowls.

Wang Manyin found Wang Lianshun, reported the account of buying meat, and handed over the remaining money by the way.

"Man Yin, I heard from Shou Chang that you can be regarded as a great help to our second team." Wang Lianshun praised a few words.

After everyone finished resting, Wang Manyin continued to follow the blasting team to pull stones.

When you encounter a large boulder, you have to wedge it in again with an iron drill to break the stone.Delayed and delayed, it took several hours to pull the stones on both sides and return to the construction site.

From a distance, there was no one on the earth dam that had just been piled up, but they were all gathered at the edge of the cliff, talking about something.

"It's broken, nothing will happen, right?" Wang Junxiang said nervously.

"Come on, let's go and have a look." Wang Yanqiang also had a serious face.Working on the construction site, with more people, various accidents may happen.

It's okay to say accidents in general, because I'm afraid of hurting people.

Several people threw down the donkey cart and ran down the cliff one after another.

Wang Manyin was the fastest, rushed forward to an aunt and asked, "What's wrong, what happened?"

"The mass graves were dug out from the construction site. There are so many bones...it's scary."

What?Mass grave? !

Hearing that no one was injured, Wang Manyin breathed a sigh of relief, and joined the crowd.

In the pit in front of him, there were large pieces of decayed white bones exposed, layered on top of each other.

On the ground in front of the crowd, there were still a lot of things that had just been dug out.There are rusty arrowheads, weapons, armor, and a few coins with a patina.

Liu Xiangyang and several educated youths are squatting on the ground to carefully identify them.

"How is it, do you see any tricks?" Wang Manyin asked aloud.

"Qingli Tongbao, Yuanfeng Tongbao, this one should be Shaosheng Tongbao..." Liu Xiangyang answered while holding the coin in his hand.

Then, he asked again: "Brother Wang, do you know when these copper coins were all..."

"Qingli is the year name of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty. You should know this. The first sentence in the great writer Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower" is "In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing was relegated to Baling County...'."

In the later generations, Wang Manyin was obsessed with collecting for a while, and bought a lot of books for this purpose, so he was relatively clear about the year names of the past dynasties, and almost blurted them out.

Liu Xiangyang responded embarrassingly: "We didn't study hard in the past few years, and we forgot all the textbooks..."

But after listening to him, the educated youths recalled it.There is indeed such an ancient text in middle school textbooks, and it is required to recite it proficiently.
