My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

Your old brother, like you, is leading the villagers to fight hard.

The ice surface near Wangjiagou was being dug in full swing like a mouse hole.

When Mrs. Xu saw Wang Yusheng push open the door and come out, she quickly waved to Wang Yusheng to come over and unload the truck.

Wang Yusheng turned around and shouted into his house, and two sleepy-eyed men ran out of Wang's restaurant.

Lao Lei guessed at a glance that Erdaohe had entertained the caravan last night, and the men who stayed in the house were all catching up on their sleep. He hurriedly waved his hand to stop:

"We can unload it ourselves, I really don't need you."

Wang Yusheng grabbed Lei Lizheng's arm and asked the leader to leave. Your beard was covered with frost: "Come in quickly and warm yourself up. You don't know where to put the fruits. The cow will feed you later."

Mrs. Xu looked at the ten young men walking with baskets on their backs, all with bruises and swollen faces from the cold, and said: "Xiaoyun, cook some noodles."

The table was full of daughter-in-law Xiaoyun, who was hurriedly lighting firewood and making noodles.

Leili was waving his hands awkwardly: "Sister, don't be busy. We have brought dry food. Really, we are not hungry at all. Just find a place for me and the children to warm themselves by the fire. The main reason is that the shoes are frozen hard."

When walking on snowy roads, if the snow melts and your shoes get wet, they will freeze hard.

Mrs. Xu followed Lei Lizheng's words and looked at the boys' cotton shoes. Some of them were still wearing the cotton shoes with their toes on.

While pushing everyone to take off their shoes and get on the kang to warm their feet, he asked Lao Lei: "You just walked here carrying goods all the way?"

"That's not possible. I originally wanted to ask these boys to catch a ride when I saw a passing car when I left the village. But the town pavilion sent a servant to open a pavilion meeting according to our announcement, and we happened to meet each other. They have a donkey cart, and that's it. , helped us carry people and goods all the way to the town. This is the only way we walked."

Old Mrs. Xu suddenly realized that Dashan would indeed hold a Lizheng meeting tomorrow to announce that fishing could be done in Wuzhu River and Wuzhu River.

But the walk from the town to Erdao River was quite a hardship in the snow and ice.

Especially each of them carrying one hundred and eighty kilograms of frozen fruit.

Old Mrs. Xu couldn't push the young man in front and found that it was blocked.

The young man in front was too embarrassed to take off his shoes when he saw the kang, let alone speak.

At the moment, there are several people lying in the room catching up on their sleep, all of them boys working in the bathhouse.

Mrs. Xu whispered: "It's okay, don't be afraid of the smell. The feet of these people in the house stink even more. Look, there are still holes in the socks. People in our village have long been used to it and don't have to pay attention to it. Come in quickly."

After a while, Mrs. Xu and Xiaoyun served bowls of hot noodles to everyone.

Twelve men from Leijiagou sat on their knees in front of the kang table, hiding their feet under their buttocks as much as possible, and looking at the noodles in front of them that they had never eaten before, they looked even more restrained.

Because some of them don't have socks at all.

Just step on the grass and cotton shoes.

This one doesn't have that big of a flavor. A few people had no cloth for socks, so they used animal skins tied with hemp rope to wrap their feet to keep warm. After walking all the way, the smell...

Mrs. Xu pretended not to smell it and urged: "Eat it while it's hot. There won't be enough left in the pot."

"Hey, thank you, ma'am."

"Thank you auntie."

This bowl of noodles is really delicious, Lao Lei sighed while eating it, no wonder he can make money.

Each person has a gourd-sized bowl filled with noodles.

Xujiayuan noodles are made from elm bark noodles, sorghum noodles, buckwheat noodles, and some white flour for a good taste.

Noodle Kneading Technique: Use cold water to knead the noodles all year round, which will make the noodles very chewy.

The hot soup is pork bone soup.

Every day, the Xu family would make four large pots of soup with the leftover pork bone sticks from the shaved meat. If guests came to eat noodles, they would take them out. If no one came, they would just drink the soup and eat pancakes by themselves. There was no waste.

There are a lot of people working here in the shop, so everyone staying up late is just a bonus.

Sometimes children in the village would come to play, and Mrs. Xu would scoop out some for them to drink.

Therefore, the soup with a strong meaty aroma is poured on the noodles, and I am very satisfied just drinking the hot bone soup with oily mouthfeel. Not to mention that the noodles are also sprinkled with a spoonful of minced meat sauce, chili oil, and crushed peanuts. , minced garlic and chopped green onion, blanched cabbage leaves, and braised large intestine that Mrs. Xu cut separately for the group, three pieces were placed in each person's bowl.

After finishing the noodles, a young man took out a large cold pancake from his pocket. When Mrs. Xu and Xiaoyun were not in the room, he broke the pancake into pieces and threw them into the noodle soup to eat.

How can I have the nerve to let people cook noodles again? This is enough to ponder for a while. It is so delicious.

Another kid hurriedly handed the braised large intestine in his bowl to Lei Lizheng. He felt sorry for Uncle Li Zheng and said, "Hurry up and take it with a bowl. Let people see how bad it is. It seems like it's not enough. I don't like to eat this." , just try one piece."

"You're just a kid. If you don't want to eat anything, just eat it by yourself." Leili said while taking a bite of garlic.

In the outer room, Mrs. Xu and Xiaoyun were collecting the forest frogs and loaches sent from Leijiazhuang.

He was so cold that he hit his head with two forest frogs and made a banging sound.

This is good stuff, snow clam and wood frog oil can be used to replenish people. I can give it to my granddaughter.

Mrs. Xu didn’t dare to sell them live, as catching wild forest frogs is illegal in modern times.

But now is not a good time to catch forest frogs. If you need to cut ice, you have to go to the mountains to find river frogs. The forest frogs are hibernating.

It can be seen that it was not easy for the villagers of Leijiawo to catch this thing, and they gave her two sacks for free. She just took a look and saw that Liu Laozhu also had a share, and Liu Laozhu had one sack. I guess I gave them everything I caught.

Mrs. Xu poured out the basket of loaches again, and found a large basket full of frozen loaches.

Each loach is thicker than her middle finger.

The palm of her family's third child, Pu Fan, can reach the size of Tian Xin's two faces when he stretches out one hand.

This is truly an affordable gift.

In fact, we didn't do much. Just when we came back from Fucheng, Lei Li was asking Liu Laozhu what his village could do. Tian Xin, who was standing nearby, asked, "What are the characteristics of your village?"

Liu Laozhu then said:

“Leijiawo has three characteristics.

Very poor.

Of the seventy-five households, only three have chickens.

Extremely cold. We were still cooking Tudouzi, but they had to burn the kang all morning and night, and the clothes had just been washed and hung outside all night, and they were freezing to death.

It's also extremely deserted. Watching the endless mountain, listening to the chaotic sounds of animals, it looks like a dead post when it gets dark. "

Then her Tian Xin told her to freeze some fruits. Taking advantage of the fact that it is colder than other places and has a big temperature difference between morning and night, she could freeze some fruits in the cellar and sell them in the winter.

Mrs. Xu knows her granddaughter best. Her granddaughter is afraid that there will be no fruit to eat in winter.

Unexpectedly, these words saved Lei Lizheng. Because this trick is most suitable for Lei Jiawo who have no capital.

I heard that after Lao Lei returned from Erdaohe overnight, he led the villagers to save fruits.

Take advantage of October to go deeper into the mountains, and there are still many mountain cucumbers, rosehips, wild peaches, and mountain grapes that have been beaten by frost. As well as wild red flowers, which are crab apples, and late-harvest wild autumn pears are harvested.

Wild autumn pears are covered with flowers and are only found locally, so they become frozen pears. Also featured are mountain cucumbers and sweet and sour red fruits. So after this shop opens, they will earn the difference and help sell it, and the sales are not expensive. On the way back, the caravan will buy some special fruits to bring to their wives, children and children at home. If the three of us in the family go out to deliver goods, they will also recommend them to Zhen Restaurant and Xishan Zhen Restaurant.

Mrs. Xu thinks we really shouldn’t look down on Lei’s home, guarding the lush mountains is money.

Mushrooms, wild fungus, hazelnuts, honey, Ganoderma lucidum, you name it.

More than half of the seventy-five households are old hunters. Because at the root of the Lei family nest, the old hunter and his descendants were stationed there, and a clan village was gradually formed.

Once it's done, I can give her animal skins and ginseng if I can't prepare it next year.

As for why Leijiawo was so poor before.

Doesn't that mean he didn't get a good official position? For several years, people were not allowed to go up the mountain, and they were not allowed to cut firewood. If they went up, they would be beaten to death. It would be most deceiving to say that powerful people are bad guys. The bigger the official, the more people he can harm.

Old Mrs. Xu glanced at Xiaoyun, thinking that when she was serving noodles, she saw that several boys in Lei's home had chilblains on the backs of their hands holding chopsticks. The sores were no longer red and swollen, but black as if they had been burned by fire. No, Xin Xin said: "Go and wake up the two boys and boil water for a pool in the bathhouse."

"Hey." Xiaoyun entered the room, no matter how hard she teased the bathhouse boy, she didn't wake up until she said, "It's time to eat."

"Huh?" He immediately rubbed his eyes and got up several times.

Xiaoyun said with a bit of fun: "Why are you so sleepy? Didn't you hear the guests coming in to eat and talk? My aunt asked you to boil a pool of water first, and then go back to sleep after finishing your work."

"Okay." The boys were still confused as they stood up.

Upon seeing this, Lao Lei quickly stopped and said: "No, don't be busy, we are leaving now."

While talking, he hurriedly put on his shoes and continued to tell Mrs. Xu:

"This time the town government is different from before. It has arranged a place for us to live in other places. Sister, you are too polite. I will live in the place they arranged, and let the boys find a big car shop nearby for a night. We have to go back to the village. If you take a bath, you have to sell it for money. It’s not easy to get water in the winter.”

Old Mrs. Xu pushed Lao Lei back: "When you get here, it's impossible for you to live outside and have a big car shop? Do you know that the big car shops in the town are raising prices? What are you going to spend that money on? Just find someone to live in the village. . And Liu Lizheng will be angry with you when he hears that you left without saying hello. Tomorrow morning you two will drive to the meeting together. I haven't given you any fruit yet, don't you want it? "

Ah, I forgot, Lao Lei thought: I want money.

Lao Lei and the boys were sitting in the big pool curiously, looking here and there. The boys smelled the soap but did not dare to use it. They just kept rubbing the black mud strips on their necks with their hands.

The boys also rushed to rub Lao Lei's back: "Uncle, when will our village have such a big pool? I want my grandfather to soak in it too. He is old and has not washed in several years."

Lao Lei said: "As long as the firewood is allowed to be cut up the mountain in the future, we will dig up the stones and build it next year. However, your father has not washed it for several years, so you really can't let him wash it too much. It is easy for him to not adapt to being washed."

When the boys from Leijiawo were discussing not to eat meaty noodles for nothing but to help the Xu family with work later, Mrs. Xu had already weighed the frozen fruits and was adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing to find the money.

Donghuahong and Dongshan Dingzi were collected for five cents per catty and sold for ten cents in the shop.

These two items were sent this time to [-] catties, totaling [-] taels of silver.

Frozen pears, frozen peach petals and frozen grapes cost seven cents per catty and sold for twelve cents in the shop. This is one thousand two hundred pounds, eighty-two-four.

There is also a bag of sun-dried rose hips. This is not collected by the pound, but a sack and a half of silver. Use it to soak in water and drink it to have a fruity aroma. Her granddaughter loved it.

Mrs. Xu gathered it together, and when Lao Lei came out to dry his hair, she pushed thirteen taels of silver to him: "You count."

The boys from the Lei family's nest gathered next to Lao Lei and laughed: "Now every family can buy five kilograms of coarse salt pickles to eat, and my grandma can also make miso."

They came with a mission, and the elderly were eagerly waiting to buy salt and go back.

The boys excitedly clasped their fists and saluted Mrs. Xu: "The last two times we sent fruits, we asked each family in our village to buy a lot of food. Madam, you don't know, but everyone is very happy."

Mrs. Xu looked sad and really wanted to say, "Why don't I sell you some salt?"

Alas, I dare not say it.

"Come on, come on, I see you have brought some pieces of leather with you. No need to go to town to ask. I will take you to Lao Bai's house."

At the same time, in the town, Xu Youyin asked about the price of sugar and felt very sad: "How much? One hundred and fifty cents per pound of sugar frosting."

Why do you think there is a big shot collecting sugar?

"Mr. Xu, do you still have this little money? We have all heard that your family likes to make sour beets, which are delicious. Prepare some before the new year. Don't delay making money. I heard that you will need more after the new year. The price has increased. I'm not a human being when I lie, and you can't lie even if you go out often. Even the price in Fucheng is about the same."

On the other hand, Xu Laoer of the grain store went very smoothly.

However, a small episode still occurred.

Let’s talk about things that went well first. The grain store currently has several long-term customers, including a restaurant and an inn, two large car shops, and the Erdaohe old Xu family always buys grain.

Why don't you say that the Xu family has little confidence? Others have farmed grain, but their own family doesn't have enough to eat, let alone do business. They all rely on buying.

So when a new batch of grain arrives here, the other side will send letters to several major customers and directly tell the truth whether rice is cheaper this time or flour is cheaper.

This is also the reason why all three of the Xu family are dispatched. Rice noodles are cheap today.

As for the episode, before Xu Youcang entered the house, he saw the frozen persimmons bought by the owner of the grain store.

"What is this? Is it food?"

"Lingshuang Hou, Frozen Persimmons are really getting popular here. I heard that a vendor from Fucheng brought three carts to our place to sell them. Our boss happened to know each other and said that we don't grow this here. He I just bought a basket to take home to my children, so I put it at the door because I was afraid it would melt."

"Where is the vendor?" Xu Youcang thought to himself: He would also buy some for Tian Xin to try first. If his niece said they were delicious, he would go to Fucheng and buy more.

"It seems that I went to the riverside to hawk. There are many people cutting ice there."

"Lao San, you..." Before Xu Youliang finished saying Lao San, go buy some, Lao San disappeared.

But half an hour later, when Xu Youcang came back, his clothes were frozen solid, and he thought he was wearing a paper shell. He was so frightened that the fourth brother, who came back from buying candy, hugged his third brother and said, "What's wrong? Huh? Someone poured dirty water on me."

The waiter at the grain store also hurriedly turned on the stove and asked Xu Youcang to warm himself up quickly.

It didn't matter, I just saw someone falling into an ice hole, and I rescued one person. After I rescued him, I went to chase the vendor who had left the riverside to buy frozen persimmons.

Even Xu Tianxin, who works in the police station, heard about it. Today, someone bravely did not leave his name. When he heard that after the rescue, he ran away like a gust of wind.

That night, Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Youcang who had returned and sighed: "Three, no, mother, take the time to go to Mao'er Mountain to find someone to break it for you. How can something happen to you as long as you are alone?"

Xu Youcang distributed the ten frozen persimmons he bought as follows: three for his niece, one for each of his mother and sister-in-law, and one for the old lady and Zhaodi. There are two, Big Moon and Dapeng, Dafei and Big Bird. The table is full for the old aunt's family to feed her grandson. He also gave a support to Guan Ertu's family. Uncle Guan helped his grandmother and Zhaodi see doctors, and he was his niece's master, so it should be like this.

Gone.

Xu Youcang felt more and more that Uncle Li Zheng's words were right. It's not easy for your mother to raise a bunch of children like you. My dear, you have to make a big pot of food.

Two days later, Xu Youcang, Xu Youyin and Yu Dali, this time taking a Dapeng and Huzi with them, got up early to have a full meal and prepared to go to Fucheng to deliver goods.

Before leaving, he unknowingly gave his mother a free mukbang.

This is called pre-sale before the sale.

The sticky porridge with red beans, the salted duck eggs leaked oil when the holes were knocked out, Xu Youyin hurriedly rubbed the oil on his fingers.

There are also fried cakes, but as I said before, if you want these half-grown men to be full, you have to spend as much oil and bake as many cakes as you want. Mrs. Xu steamed another large pot of blooming pumpkin steamed buns, squeezed the meat sauce, and finally took out the pickled cucumbers and pickles, fried a large pot of shredded potatoes, and rolled the shredded potatoes with oil cakes.

The whole room was full of the sound of eating big chunks of porridge, everyone was immersed in eating, it was so delicious, a bite of pancake and a bite of porridge, but Xu Tianxin was not allowed to eat it.

Tian Xin stared straight at the camera.
