Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 266 Pancakes

At this time in previous years, Zhang Shuzhen followed her up the mountain for a day, and when she returned home in the evening, she had to work hard to cook.

This year, the daughter-in-law is here, and the old lump is leading the meal.

The big guy came home hungry after a busy day, and there was a hot meal when he walked in. Everyone said that it was really different if there were more people in the family.

So everyone washed their hands and put the food on the table to eat together.

While eating, a few schoolchildren talked about their interesting stories on the mountain.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know that Xin Youlin from our class fell off the Bawang circle today."

Sheng Yunfang remembered what happened in the morning, and hurriedly spoke to her family.

With so many people going up the mountain to plant trees, the commuter vehicles in the forest farm were not enough, and the Bawang circle was pulled behind, giving people away and so on.

The afforestation battle started early, and the children didn't sleep well at home, and they were still sleepy in the car.

The car was driving, and Xin Youlin was sitting in the Bawang circle, and fell asleep in a daze.

There is a gap at the bottom of the Bawang circle, if it is an adult, it will be no problem, it will not fall, but it is a child, and it is still asleep.

Xin Youlin fell asleep, and slipped through the gap in the Overlord's circle without paying attention.

Fortunately, the car was driving towards Gaotaihe, it was uphill, and the car was driving slowly.

Xin Youlin fell on the sleeper, woke up, got up and chased after him.

After someone found out, he signaled the internal combustion engine to stop, and then dragged Xin Youlin up.

It was only when he got to the work place that he realized that Xin Youlin's body was about to be knocked on the sleeper, and it was covered in a large area of ​​green, so he didn't dare to move.

"The teacher said that Xin Youlin can't work like this, so let him rest at home tomorrow, and go back to school directly after he recovers from his injury."

Sheng Yunfang talked for a while, and finally concluded.

She doesn't envy Xin Youlin not having to work. For children of this age, collective honor trumps everything. It is a pity that they cannot participate in collective labor.

"Oh my god, this kid took his life.

You said that if the car drove too fast, or if he fell in the wrong place and let the wheels run over him, wouldn't this kid be useless? "

When the adults heard this, they were all startled.

Sheng Yunfang was still young and didn't understand the danger, but the adults understood, if something went wrong, the child would have to be disabled if he didn't die.

"All of you, go to sleep after eating, don't be like Xin Youlin, sleeping in the car.

It's too scary, if this one is not done well, the child's life will be gone. "

Zhang Shuzhen recalled that when their family moved from the Dashahe Forest Farm to the Shuguang Forest Farm, they also sat in that kind of overlord circle.

When Sheng Xiping was only six or seven years old, Zhang Shuzhen kept calling her son, don't sleep.

"Oh, I see." Sheng Xi'an, Sheng Xikang and the others quickly agreed.

I've been tired all day, how much energy do I have left, I can't wait to sleep under the covers after eating.

After the family had dinner, Zhang Shuzhen didn't let Zhou Qinglan move. She led the two daughters to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Then these people in the family take turns to soak their feet in hot water and wash their feet. After washing, they pack up the blankets and go to sleep.

Zhou Qinglan didn't need to go up the mountain, she was quite energetic, so she lay down on the desk and wrote the lesson plans for a while before resting.

The spring renewal and afforestation battle lasted for five days. After five days, the forest areas felled last year were replanted with saplings, and the afforestation was temporarily over.

After the afforestation is over, forest management and production have not yet started, and there is probably less than a month's gap in the middle.

And at this time, a wild vegetable in the mountains is a good time.

This kind of wild vegetable is Niu Mao Guang, also called Wei Cai, and its scientific name is Cinnamon Osmanthus.

This thing tastes very bitter, even after soaking it in boiling water, it still has a bitter taste.

At the very beginning, everyone thought it was poisonous, but no one ate it even in those difficult years, because it tasted really bad.

However, people in one place especially like this kind of Niu Mao Guang. It is said that this kind of mountain vegetable has anti-cancer and anti-aging effects, and it is called a mountain delicacy.

Therefore, this kind of dry product made of cow hair is very popular in the country in the east where life is good, and the price is not cheap.

Since [-], the country has purchased a large number of dry beef and hair products and exported them abroad in exchange for foreign exchange.

Niu Mao Guang can be found all over the mountains and plains, especially in the ditch ponds and Laowa Dianzi where there are a lot of them, as many as cow hair.

It is precisely because it is widely distributed and has a layer of yellow fluff on its body, so it is called Niu Mao Guang.

The Changbai Mountain area and the Xiaoxing'anling area are the main producing areas of domestic cattle hair.

For the people in the northeast forest area, the annual harvest is the most important income in the sideline business.

Every year from mid-to-late May to the end of June, every household in the forest farms and villages in the entire Changbai Mountain forest area, during this one-month period.

All capable people scrambled to be the first, carrying baskets and sacks on their backs, and went up the mountain and into the forest to pick ox hair.

Those who can go far away will go far away, those who cannot go far away will go to the ditch pond near home.

The scene is just like going to the market, and it is also like people rushing to the small sea when the tide is low. It is a busy and lively scene.

Qianchuan Forest Farm is located in a large forest, and Niu Mao Guang is rich in resources.

There is no road in the forest area, and most of the people picking cattle hair are in gangs, pushing the railway tricycle, and going in along the only railway line.

When they got to the place, they took off the two wheels and found a place to hide, and left the car frame in the grass.

Wait for the cow hair to come out after plucking, then find the wheels, install the wheels on the frame, and push the tricycle back to slide.

In these years, it is absolutely remarkable to be able to export things that earn foreign exchange.

Units at all levels must provide support for export earnings, and must not hinder the major event of export earnings for any reason.

Instead of hindering it, we must actively provide all convenient conditions for export earnings.

For example, the leaders of Qianchuan Forest Farm, Wang Jiachuan and Zheng Xianyong, are very active. In order to make the workers realize this income better, they arranged internal combustion engines to pull four or five Bawang circles and carriages to transport people to the mountains to pick cattle.

There were hundreds of people hitchhiking, and many people from Dajianchang Village also came to borrow light.

In the morning, the vehicles pulled the people to the end of the practice area, and then waited on the mountain, and in the evening, they pulled the people who picked the cattle hair back.

Some people have a lot of eyes, and when they get on the train, they also carry their own railway tricycle, and when they get to the place, they still remove the two wheels and hide them.

They will come out of the woods later than others, so that they will not be able to catch up with the car, so they find their own railway tricycle and install the wheels.

Ren and Niu Maoguang slid home on a railway tricycle.

Sheng Liancheng and Sheng Xiping were the ones who could do this job in previous years.

This year, Sheng Xi'an suddenly said that he would also follow up the mountain.

Sheng Xi'an will be graduating from high school in July this year. There is no college entrance examination this year. After graduating, he will go to the agricultural team as an educated youth. Waiting for the policy to recruit workers.

There is no way out for studying, and many people go to school just to recruit jobs with mixed diplomas.

If the Sheng family hadn't had a high salary for Sheng Liancheng and capable Sheng Xiping, it is estimated that Sheng Xi'an and Sheng Xikang would have stopped studying and started working.

So in this environment, Sheng Xi'an felt that the schoolwork was over long ago anyway.

During this month, it will be the same whether you are not in school, so it is better to go home early to work.

Many students in the same class as Sheng Xi'an thought so, and the teacher could understand that if someone asked for leave, he would give it.

In this way, Sheng Liancheng took his two sons together and went into the mountains to collect cattle and hair.

It's not an easy task to say that it's a job to squeeze cows and hairs.

People walk into the dense forest and have to walk a long way through mountains and rivers to find the Laowadianzi with a lot of hair.

However, there is a lot of water in Laowadianzi, which breeds mosquitoes and small bites, and the most hateful ones are small planing adzes and blind midges.

These bloodthirsty insects swarmed in groups, buzzing around the people, all over the face of those who bit them without paying attention.

Most of the women who went into the mountain wore a sunshade hat, then sewed the scarf on the edge, and finally tied the bottom corner of the scarf around the neck, so that at least the face would not be bitten so hard.

It's okay for women to do this, but it's not good for men to wear scarves. There is no other way but to be bitten.

The three of Sheng Liancheng and his son were all smoking cigarettes, but it didn't help much.

It's gone, I still have to find old beef liver and light it to repel mosquitoes, which is more or less useful and less likely to be bitten.

Mosquito bites are just one of them. As soon as I entered the grass in the morning, my trousers were half wet with dew and could not be dried by the wind until noon.

If it rains in the woods, the whole body is soaked from the inside to the outside, leaving only a small area that is not wet.

From noon to evening, people were tired and hungry. In the old forest, people with one foot deep and one foot shallow walked back with sacks full of cow hair tubes on their backs.

It is said that there is no light load on the road, the more the back is heavier, the more the legs are shaking, and any vine on the ground can trip people up.

All day long, anyway, I don't know how many times I will fall.

Sometimes when encountering tree stumps or fallen logs, I would lean on them to rest for a while, my tired legs were heavy, and my whole body was dripping with sweat.

"Second, how are you? Can you still insist on going back? If not, give me your pocket, and I will carry it for you."

On the first day when he entered the mountain, Sheng Xiping looked at his younger brother's flushed face and sweat, and felt a little distressed, so he wanted to share some burden for Sheng Xi'an.

"Brother, no need, I can do it, you have more vegetables than me, it's already heavy enough."

Sheng Xi'an had never done such a tiring job in the mountains before, this was the first time, and he was so tired that he was out of breath.

"That's fine, you can measure it yourself, if you really can't walk, take a break, we'll just wait for you."

Sheng Xiping was quick at all kinds of work, and he was able to gather hundreds of catties a day.

While eating at noon, Sheng Xiping poured out all the cow hair he had gathered, and knocked off the curled head.

In this way, the weight can be reduced, and it will save you the trouble of masturbating when you go home.

But even so, he has the most ox hair on his back. To be honest, he is really tired.

The three of them were so tired that they couldn't talk anymore, and continued to walk outside with their heads sullen.

After a lot of effort, I finally came to a stop for the commuter car.

"Xi Ping, why did you come back? Oops, Xi'an is very good, and he has plucked a lot."

Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo went up to the mountain to collect vegetables with their fathers. These forest farm elders each have their own secret dens.

Laowozi has a lot of cows and hairs, and it also serves special dishes, which are generally not told to others.

Therefore, when the cows were plentiful, the sons of each family went up the mountain with their fathers.

Sheng Xi'an's tired legs were weak, but when he heard others praise him, he regained his energy.

The three of them unloaded the fertilizer bag they were carrying, and the people in the car reached out to take it, and then the three of them climbed into the car with great effort, holding on to the side of the car.

When I got in the car, I just sat on my bag, and I felt that there was no soreness all over my body. I really didn't even feel like I was moving my fingers.

Most of the people came back, the commuter car honked several times, and many people hurried back.

After waiting for a while, when no one came back, the driver of the commuter car started the car, carrying a series of carriages, Bawangquan, and others, and returned to the forest farm.

At any rate, I rested in the car for a while, recovered a little, and waited for the commuter car to arrive at the small train station of the forest farm.

Everyone threw their bags down first, then jumped out of the car, picked up their bags, and staggered home.

As soon as Sheng Liancheng and his three walked outside the gate of their house, they smelled a sweet smell.

"Your mother is baking pancakes at home."

The aroma of pancakes is different from other dishes, especially for these hungry people, it is simply too greedy.

"Not only pancakes, but also pancake boxes." Sheng Xiping sniffled, smelling the unique spicy smell of leeks.

At the beginning of spring, Zhang Shuzhen baked pancakes once, but there were many people eating at home, and they all went up to the mountain to bring meals a while ago, so the pancakes would soon run out.

Zhang Shuzhen saw that this was not good. It was the peak season of beef and corn. She had to rub the beef and didn't have time to carefully prepare meals.

So I soaked some corn balls the day before yesterday, and went to the mill to grind it early this morning. Taking advantage of the time before Niu Maoguang came home, I hurriedly baked pancakes at home.

Most of the pancakes in this year are made of corn balls, and ordinary people are reluctant to use rice. If they are stored in their hometown, there will be sweet potato pancakes.

Anyway, they are all coarse grains and carefully processed, just to make cooking easier, and it is also convenient to bring meals up the mountain.

Zhang Shuzhen is good at baking pancakes. If someone can light a fire for her, she can bake pancakes worth thirty to forty catties of grain in one day.

I was too busy baking pancakes and didn't have time to cook. After my daughter got out of school in the afternoon, Zhang Shuzhen asked Sheng Yunfang and the others to go to the vegetable garden to cut some leeks, pick grass, wash them and chop them up, and then scrambled a few eggs, smashed them, and mixed them in the leeks.

After the pancakes are baked, you don’t need to uncover them, but spread the leek stuffing on the pancakes, roll them up, and fry them again on both sides.

When the vegetable filling inside is cooked, use a knife or a shovel to cut it into pieces and put them on a plate. This is the pancake box.

Pancake boxes are not always available. When it’s time to bake pancakes at home, there are fresh leeks.

And it also depends on whether the person who cooks at home has the leisure to do it.

Zhang Shuzhen felt sorry for her husband and son who were tired from working in the mountains, so she wanted to change it.

Just in time to bake the pancakes, the last bit of batter in the evening, I baked some pancake boxes, just in time for a fresh meal.

"Damn it, have you baked pancake boxes? Bake me two with sugar, a little more oil."

Sheng Liancheng entered the yard with his bag on his back, threw the bag on the ground, wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, stood in the yard and yelled.

"As long as you have a lot of things to do, the child hasn't said he wants to eat candy yet, but you are really hungry for it."

In the kitchen, Zhang Shuzhen, who was standing in front of the grill, was hot and sweating, and after hearing what her husband said, she babbled with disgust on her face.

His mouth was disgusted, but his hands kept moving, holding the scraper and quickly scraping the batter on the griddle.

"Fang'er, go to the cabinet in the back room, take out the white sugar, and bake some sugared ones for you."
