Chapter 60 An Autumn Rain and a Cold
One autumn rain and one cool, with several autumn rains, the weather became completely cooler.At night, I only heard the old north wind blowing, and the poplar trees in the yard humming.Liu Junhao didn't care about it at first, and he was still covered with a thin blanket when he slept, but he couldn't bear it anymore in the second half of the night, so he had to turn on the light and go into the room and hugged a quilt to cover the bed to feel warm.

When I woke up in the morning, there was clear water flowing from both nostrils. It seemed that I caught a cold last night.In fact, he deserved it a little bit. Since Professor Zhao persuaded him to cover the quilt more than ten days ago, he kept refusing.

It's just a small cold. Liu Junhao doesn't care much about it. Put on more clothes later, cook a bowl of ginger soup and cover the sweat and you will be able to live. My physical fitness is good, so I don't take this small cold seriously. .

Pushing open the door, there was a lot of withered and yellow branches outside the yard, and the leaves of those poplar trees were scraped everywhere, without even a place to stay.

He picked up the rake and hugged it on the ground. The yard is relatively flat, so it is easy to use the rake to sweep up the broken branches and leaves into piles. When he was busy, he heard Xiaopi screaming in the backyard. , seems to have found something.

Could it be some other big animal came to his yard again, otherwise Xiaopi wouldn't be barking so loudly, Liu Junhao threw away the rake and ran to the backyard quickly, but saw Xiaopi laying an ashes on the acacia tree The black leaves growled.It pulled it out with its claws, and quickly moved away a few steps.

It turned out that he had met a big hedgehog, no wonder Xiaopi was screaming so happily, even if he wanted to catch this thing, he had nowhere to mouth it.

The hedgehog is rolled into a ball, and the small gray and white thorns look like a big pompom from a distance. At this moment, it has dug a big hole under the locust tree. From the new soil on the side, it can be seen that it was just dug last night. .

It seems that this hedgehog is going to hibernate here, so don't disturb people's good sleep.He scolded Xiao Pi, and led it away, leaving the little thing alone.

There are many hedgehogs in the countryside, especially at night in summer, when you can often hear the rustling of the roots of the straw stacks, it is likely that the hedgehogs came out to look for food.But this thing is neither delicious nor can be sold for money. Usually people see it as if they haven’t seen it, and they will not take the initiative to touch it. Only children keep it when they are free.

Liu Junhao then went to the front yard to sweep leaves and branches, and piled them all up in the corner of the yard. It was inconspicuous at first, but quickly piled up into a half-sized pile of firewood.

This is all right, you don’t have to worry about firewood in winter.

Unexpectedly, after less than half an hour of labor, he was covered in sweat and his nose was completely unobstructed, but at this time he was hungry.

So Liu Junhao threw away the rake, washed his hands, touched five or six eggs in the chicken coop, and then went to the backyard to grab two handfuls of garlic sprouts and shallots, and spread out the egg pancakes.

People in rural areas will not buy a special pan for spreading pancakes, they are all spread out directly in a large pot, so that the skill of a person can be seen best.

Liu Junhao's skills in the past were not very good, but he has lived alone in the past few years, and his cooking skills have naturally developed slowly.

Beat the eggs into the bowl, add a little flour and stir well, then put the chopped green onion and garlic sprouts in and stir again and it's done.

After the pan is hot, pour half a spoonful of sesame oil to lubricate the hot pan, then scoop a spoonful of egg batter into the bowl and draw a circle around the edge of the pan, turn it back and forth several times with a shovel, and a browned pancake will spread out in less than 2 minutes alright.

Then the pot was completely boiled, and Liu Junhao spread it faster.Basically, every 40 to 10 seconds, the egg batter is completely spread out in less than [-] minutes, and there are more than a dozen delicious pancakes in the steamed bun sieve.He brought a few pieces in a bowl to Professor Zhao and his wife, and then ate them himself.

A few days ago, despite Liu Junhao's repeated persuasion, Professor Zhao and his wife still moved into the new house.In fact, it's the same whether they move or not, the two families are next to each other, and if there is anything to do, just say hello through the wall.

Liu Junhao’s pancakes are very thin, browned and browned. They are served with coriander and sesame salt, and they are eaten in one bite... The onion, garlic, and sesame aromas get into the mouth together, making people smack their lips.

As a result, in less than 10 minutes, he ate half a bowl of pancakes, and then threw the bowl and chopsticks into the pot to soak, and he pulled up two chairs contentedly, took a pot of hot tea, and sat in the wind. Under the eaves to bask in the sun.

Although the sun is several feet high now, it is not harsh at all, and it shines warmly on people. It is the most pleasant place to bask in the sun after drinking and eating.

A few minutes later, Professor Zhao also had dinner, and walked leisurely into the yard with his hands behind his back. Seeing that the chessboard next to Liu Junhao had been set up, he didn't say much, and went straight to the battle.

So one old and one young started to fight in the yard. Liu Junhao's chess strength has greatly improved during this time. Now if he plays chess seriously with Professor Zhao, he can usually win two out of three games.

But playing chess is just a way to pass time and have fun, so he would occasionally put a handful of water, so that the number of wins between the two was basically equal.

They played this game of chess very slowly, and it took almost two hours to finish the game. When Professor Zhao was about to play chess again, he was stopped by Liu Junhao. He looked at the time and said, "That's all for today. Send eggs to Liu Qiyong's house, my mother asked me to save them a few days ago."

He took out a big bamboo basket from the house, put some wheat straw in it, and then put the eggs in it, one hundred eggs were put in half of the bamboo basket.Liu Junhao thought about it and added seven or eight to it, which is a small change, and there will be no money when he sends it over.

Liu Qiyong and his wife were watching TV at home, so they were naturally very enthusiastic when they saw him come in.Liu Qiyong asked about the number of eggs, but he paid him 45 yuan without checking.Liu Junhao’s eggs are known to be five cents more expensive than other’s, and Liu Qiyong doesn’t feel that he is at a disadvantage. Just look at the eggs. They are so big that they are almost as big as duck eggs.

Liu Junhao only charged 40 yuan, saying that they were all from the same village, and the eggs were counted as [-] cents each.When the eggs were finished, he didn't stay any longer, and left as soon as he took the bamboo basket.

"You too, don't count, what if there is less?" As soon as Liu Junhao walked out the door, Liu Qiyong's daughter-in-law was counting on the bed.

"What do you count? I don't care about five yuan. It will cost you a few eggs. It's really long hair but short knowledge." Liu Qiyong impatiently taught a few words. This daughter-in-law is good at everything and knows how to run a house, but she is a little Shrewd and petty.

But seeing his daughter-in-law wanted to get out of bed to count by herself, he had no choice but to recount the eggs that had just been placed, and it turned out that there were a few more eggs.At first, her daughter-in-law didn't believe it, but she asked Liu Qiyong to count them again to make sure that he really didn't care about the eggs. Now she was a little embarrassed, and said that she would give him a few catties of pork when the pig was slaughtered during the Chinese New Year.

When Liu Junhao walked to Dayantang with an empty basket, he saw many people chatting there, while Liu Guangju sat in the middle and kept talking.

To say that Liu Guangju is very proud of his life these days, he appeared on the TV station twice in less than a few months, and even the mayor of the town, Qi, did not get this kind of treatment.

And some time ago, because of the road construction, his prestige among the villagers has obviously increased a lot.In the past, although everyone met each other with a smile on their faces, they were less intimate.Now he clearly feels that the villagers are warming up to him, and sometimes they greet him when they see him from afar.

What they were talking about was still about the Eleven Great Play, and all the villagers believed that this play would continue in the future and be regarded as a tradition in Liujiagou.

Everyone has a small account in their minds. The last big show cost only a total of 1000 yuan, but in those few days, many families earned more than [-] yuan just by selling food. They tasted the sweetness one by one. Naturally, I think of continuing to do it next year.

Seeing Liu Junhao approaching, everyone greeted him one after another, and chatted about the rice field eels in his yard. While talking, someone asked him how much money he earned this year.

Seeing that they were all very interested, Liu Junhao kept his mouth shut and did not reveal anything. In fact, he was not guarding anything, but felt that there was no need to show off.

As the weather has gradually turned cold these days, the number of people visiting Liujiagou has decreased significantly, and his eel income has also decreased a lot, so he casually calculated his income in recent months while he was free.

I don't know, but I was shocked when I calculated it, and the income from selling eels, jujubes, eggs and other miscellaneous things in the yard was almost [-] yuan.
