Reborn in the fiery age, I am a salted fish in the mountains

while singing.

Master Wang passed by the first girl who was toasting him and came to the second girl who was holding up the horns.

He reached out to take her horns and drank it all in one gulp.

"Brother, brother and I, sister, I am the youngest, but I love you the most. After you drank my sister's wine, did you forget my little sister's boudoir?"

"I can't forget, I can't forget, sister, you are like a lark in the mountains, your sweet singing always lingers in my dreams.
After drinking the wine offered by my sister, I feel warm love in my heart. Today, my brother is the best warrior in the village. I want to express my love for my sister."

Following Master Wang's footsteps, Han Xiaokang, who was following Master Wang to watch the excitement, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: What kind of "Toast Songs" are these?

Generally speaking, people are very particular about going to the village to drink "Banmen Wine".

If the highest etiquette is used, there will be a total of 12 courses of barrage wine.

The first thing that hits your face is the "congratulations wine", followed by the "kindness wine", and the "hardworking wine", "brave wine" and so on.
If the bride is getting married and the wedding is being held, it would be relatively casual.

But it's not as casual as it was just now.

Many rules and cultural features of this era are very different from those of later generations.

But no matter how big the difference is, it won't be as ridiculous as a boudoir or a small hand.

It seems that this simple place where the rules of the cottage are moved here is not so serious.
Master Wang drank a triangle of wine as if it were a formality, and then plunged headlong into the stilted building with a thatch roof and bundles of logs and bamboos.

Han Xiaokang and his assistant Xiao Ma followed closely behind.

In this stilted building.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a room that is equivalent to a living room, with a fire pit made of stones and mud in the middle.

The fire inside was red, and bacon and bamboo shoots were simmering in the hanging pot on the shelf.

There seemed to be tiny potatoes tumbling inside.

It's very fragrant and makes you want to eat it just by smelling it.

"Master Wang, you haven't been to our place for a long time. I thought you were tired and no longer touched the steering wheel!"

The man who was greeted earlier, 'Alu', who was about 30 years old and wearing a very ethnic costume, entered the door.

Then he squatted by the firepit and started to pack tonight's meal.

While he was busy working, Alu said with a smile, "Master Wang, you know, right now we have been thinking about you, so we don't have to sleep on the road in the open.

In our hearts, we are happy for you, because we feel a little empty, just like the white clouds have taken away the heart of the house sparrow, and it can no longer chirp happily. "

Master Wang chuckled, "Lifting the stem? It's not that easy!"

I don't have any qualifications to be proud of, nor do I have a strong backer, and I'm reluctant to give money or gifts, so I can only survive in this life, and survive those things.
Hey, Youduo Alu, what are we talking about?Is this pot of bacon stewed with potatoes prepared for us? "

It seems that people in their clan cannot call girls older than them as eldest sister.

Instead, use Alu instead.

Judging from the conversation between Master Wang and the not-so-pretty Alu in front of him, it is estimated that Master Wang has stayed here many times before.

The A'lu gave a bitter smile and said, "This pot of little black pig bacon is like the prickly pears on the mountain. Whoever gets there first will get it."

Master Wang frowned, "Only prepared one pot? So little. Why, no business?"

"It's not good anyway. The superiors are getting stricter and stricter, saying we can't do these things anymore. What kind of capital is that?

I don't understand.But from the way the officials talked, it seemed like they were very reluctant to let us open this place for guests to stay and rest. "

Youduo is obviously a person who gets happy easily, and she was looking sad just now.

In the blink of an eye, she smiled and said, "No matter what! If the business here really can't continue, I will go back to the village. Like my sisters, I will go up the mountain to pick wild fruits, dig herbs, and go down to the river to catch fish and shrimps." , the hard-working bees will never die of hunger."

"Well, look at it."

Master Wang changed his previous cheerful and carefree demeanor and turned into a wise elder: "If you think about it wisely, the Da Zheng Book is water and we are fine sand. Since we can't stop it, we can only follow it." it.

Although there is little cultivated land in your village, there are treasures everywhere in the mountains. If you dig some medicinal materials, gather some wild animals, lay some traps, etc., as long as you work hard, you won't be hungry.

Moreover, your grain output is low, and your superiors will definitely not ignore it. There will definitely be resale grain and relief grain when the time comes. "

Master Wang raised his voice, "Youduo Alu, let's have dinner? I'm already starving.

You must not have eaten either. Why don't you go and ask Junyao and Luyao to come in and we can eat together. "

"How about that?"

You Duo shook his head, "You are a guest and we are the store. We can't! If Master Wang comes to our village as a guest, we can still eat with you, but not now."

"Oh, that's fine."

Knowing that the other party's temper was purely stubborn, Master Wang sighed, "Then add some wild mushrooms and some green leafy vegetables. Whatever you have here, add it to us. Don't worry, we will The belly is big. Then steam a steamer with rice and 5 kilograms of rice wine. Let’s start the meal!”

This guy orders food as if he doesn't have to pay for it.

It is completely inconsistent with his previous style of being picky and fussy, which can even be said to be free of charge!

Seeing Han Xiaokang staring at him, Master Wang chuckled and said, "Brother Han Xiaokang, don't worry, I'm the one who invited you for this meal. I won't tie you up."

Shaking his head, Han Xiaokang really couldn't understand this guy's behavior.

In this period,
No matter how high the salary of a car driver is and how much fuel and oil there are, few people dare to do as much as Master Wang.

Who doesn’t know the smell of bacon?
But it’s expensive!

Even if the cadres of the units in the revitalization district and the district officials go out to have a meal together, they rarely order a big pot of bacon to satisfy their cravings.

After Youduo led the two young girls, shuttled back and forth like colorful butterflies, the wine and food were served.

Master Wang asked others to bring the salt shaker and added salt to the hanging pot with a "swish" sound.

Then he used chopsticks to pick up a freshly boiled cabbage sprout and tasted it.

Then the guy added salt to it!

This move made Han Xiaokang dumbfounded: Are you eating bacon in a pot, or are you eating old pickles?

A small mouthful fell into the pot. Master Wang poured half a catty of salt into it. Can it still be eaten?

Raising his chopsticks, Han Xiaokang also took a bite.
as predicted!

In addition to the green vegetables in the iron pot, which are barely enough to be used for cooking, other mushrooms and wild mushrooms that absorb oil and salt are all very salty!

Especially the bacon stewed in the pot is just like eating salt cubes directly.
What can you eat?
When Han Xiaokang, who was full of resentment, hurriedly pulled down a bowl of corn and rice, then turned around and went to the inner room to rest.

Only Master Wang and his assistant were left drinking outside.

Dusk fell and it was already dark.

Xiao Ma, the drunk assistant, staggered into the room, then sat down next to Han Xiaokang and burped.

"Comrade Xiaokang, don't you understand what my master meant by adding salt to the vegetables just now?"

"Yeah." Han Xiaokang was right as Wang San, so there was no need to go against his will to please him.

"Alas, actually, that was my master's good intention."

Xiao Ma was obviously drunk, and the rice wine had a strong stamina. If it had been a while longer, this guy would probably be lying on the floor unable to move.

So Xiao Ma took advantage of the fact that he was still awake and defended Master Wang to prevent Han Xiaokang from misunderstanding, "My master put so much salt in the pot, he deliberately wanted to make the dishes so salty that they would be inedible." ."Huh?
Why is that?
Han Xiaokang got up and said, "Explain?"

"Youduo and the others are suffering!"

Xiao Ma sighed, "Don't look at Youduo and the others, they are talking, singing, and dancing, as if they are having a great time.

In fact, the corn and upland rice harvested in their village in a year is only enough to last for five months. For the remaining seven months, they have to go to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots, catch voles, and even build termite nests to eat."

Han Xiaokang was thoughtful: "So since Master Wang couldn't invite Youduo and the others to have dinner with us, he deliberately made it salty to make people unable to eat it, leaving a lot of meat for them to eat?"

The girls who run this collective guest house never eat with the drivers who come to stay and eat.

I just don’t want to take advantage of my customers.

At the same time, it can also reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles for themselves.

But if the guest has no appetite or it doesn’t suit their taste, eat less.

Therefore, Youduo and the others will eat the remaining food.

Eating with guests is the same as picking up leftovers from the guests, even though they are all eating the same food.

But the nature is completely different
Hearing what Han Xiaokang said.

"Ah."

Pony nodded.

This nod didn't matter, but it shook him out of his drunkenness.

I saw the pony swaying along the bamboo fence wall, still talking incomprehensibly, "Don't worry if it's salty, just add more soup and green vegetables to it."

Xiao, brother Xiaokang, don’t, don’t misunderstand. My master, he, he is actually a good, good person.

He, his monthly salary has basically been spent here and there, and he, he has not saved much at all."

"Woo, hululu——"

Snoring sounded, and Xiao Ma had already fallen into a deep sleep.
That night, the drunk Master Wang never returned to the bedroom and rolled on the floor with Han Xiaokang and Xiao Ma.

Han Xiaokang thought that he was squeezing in with that Youduo, and that it was even possible for the three heroes to fight Lu Bu.

Just because other people's customs and concepts are different, as long as they are unmarried young men and women, they have enough personal freedom.

No one can care whether you sleep where you want, sleep with whom you want, or with whom you want.
But early the next morning, it was just dawn.

Han Xiaokang, who got up early, was preparing to go to the yard to get the yellow soup he had saved up all night.

Go down the stairs and walk to the yard.

Unexpectedly, Youduo and the others got up earlier and were already cleaning the yard with a broom.

"Good morning, did you sleep well last night? Is Master Wang awake?"

One of the girls, who seemed to be named "Jun Yao" smiled charmingly, "Master Wang drank too much last night. I wonder if he vomited?"

Han Xiaokang was slightly surprised: Master Wang, did he sleep well last night?Ask me what to do?
Don’t you know better than me?

Seeing that Han Xiaokang didn't answer, Junyao didn't care and continued to bend down to sweep the floor. Junyao just thought that Han Xiaokang, a handsome Han man, was shy and not as cheerful as the brothers in their village.

This is normal. Most Han elder brothers are a bit introverted.

During this period, basically no one in rural areas cared about the toilet environment. 99.9% of people used dry toilets, which smelled terrible.

Last night, Han Xiaokang had already experienced how terrifying a nuclear-weapon-level latrine was.

Therefore, Han Xiaokang, who didn't want to ruin his good mood for the day, simply went to the cow pen and prepared to deal with it casually there.

But I didn't expect that the water was rushing outside the fence, but inside the cattle pen, there was a sound of waves, and the sound of snoring was loud.

Very curious, Han Xiaokang went around to take a look.

In the hazy morning light, in the haystack used to feed cattle, Master Wang was lying on his back, sleeping soundly.

Rice wine tastes sweet and slightly sour, and tastes sour and sweet with a slightly alcoholic taste. It feels quite delicious.

But after drinking 3 or 5 pounds, the drinker still feels that he is in good condition, but his head is slightly dizzy.

But when he gets out of the house and is blown by the wind, it will be terrible!
Rice wine has a strong stamina. Once it is drunk, the drunk person will not even recognize his own father.

I am afraid that if I hold Rhubarb in my arms, I will call me mother.

Master Wang's current state is exactly like this.

After Han Xiaokang carried Master Wang out from the cow hay pile, Junyao and Youduo, who were cleaning the yard, hurriedly came to help.

However, there was no trace of panic on the faces of these girls, but they were giggling.

They have seen it so much that they have long been used to it.

What does it mean to get drunk and sleep in a cow pen?The young men in the village got drunk and lay down under the bull, intending to drink milk.
Master Wang was extremely drunk, which was not a big deal to Youduo and the others. They could only stay for one more day.

But Han Xiaokang, who was in a hurry, couldn't!
Seeing that Master Wang really couldn't wake him up, even if he finally woke him up, it would still be a puddle of mud.

My whole body felt like I had no bones, and I couldn't even sit up.

With no other choice, Han Xiaokang paid for the meal and accommodation last night.

Then let Xiao Ma start the car, and then let him sit by the window to take care of Master Wang, while Han Xiaokang jumped into the driving position and prepared to drive off.

"You, you know how to drive??" Xiao Ma's frightened eyes were like bells.

"You can't actually drive?" Han Xiaokang deliberately asked the other person in order to cover up his guilt.

"I don't know how." Xiao Ma shook his head, "According to the unwritten rules of our automobile transportation service agency, if an apprentice has been driving for less than two years, the master will not let him touch the steering wheel."

Let apprentices start as late as possible.

In this way, veteran drivers can have a free skilled labor force, so they usually deliberately delay the start of apprenticeships.

And on the surface,
Those car drivers will say, "How can a car, a valuable public property, be easily touched by others? We have to be responsible for public property and cherish people's lives and property, right?"

In fact, by doing this, they can use skilled labor for free.

Secondly, the reason why car drivers are paid well is because there are few people who can drive.

Things are rare.

What if a group of apprentices appear in two months and a group of novice drivers appear in three months?
There are only so many vehicles in society. Once drivers appear in batches, wouldn't it mean that the jobs of those veteran drivers are completely destroyed?

So Master Wang's assistant Xiao Ma has been with his master for a full year and a half, but he has never even touched the steering wheel!
In fact, Han Xiaokang had never driven a truck like this before, and he didn't feel confident enough.

Fortunately, its basic principles are similar to those of later generations of new driving systems with directional assistance.

The difference is that these machines are a bit older and more difficult to operate.

Depress the clutch twice quickly, push the gear lever into 1st gear, and then slowly release the clutch. After you feel the body of the truck shake slightly and find the critical point, release the handbrake.

The whole process seemed calm on the surface, but Han Xiaokang was still a little panicked inside.

The operation was smooth and flowing, without any stagnation.

He looked at the pony half-hugging Master Wang and his mouth watered.
