Making a round ball
Although the two of them were quiet, they were still staring and reluctant to sleep.
Ye Yaodong patted his head and said, "Go to sleep quickly!"
"Oh? It seems that I forgot to handle the snake."
Suddenly he remembered that he had been talking about the boat as soon as he came back, and that the bucket of sea snakes was still there. He sat up and got out of bed to get dressed.
"Do you want to do it at night? Can't you do it tomorrow?"
"I processed it quickly at night while it was fresh. It won't be fresh tomorrow. My eldest brother and my second brother also forgot to get it for them."
"Let me help you..."
"No, this is too disgusting. Don't touch it. Put the two of them to sleep first. Oh... you also need to get me some more money. I will go to the small drugstore in the village to buy some tonics and buy dozens of kilograms of liquor by the way."
"So anxious?"
"Well, it's already dead after all. Let's soak it while it's still fresh. Leave one piece to be processed later and blanch it in the pot. We'll make soup tomorrow."
I'll take one over to Ah Guang's place later.
"Okay, okay, I haven't counted the things you gave me earlier, they are all put in the drawer, you can take them as you see fit."
"good."
Ye Yaodong has always only kept a few cents for cigarettes in his pocket. Now he doesn't play cards or do anything else. It's just enough. If he has no money, he can just ask his wife for it. There's no shame in it! He is not a freeloader now.
After going out, he shook the bucket and counted 8 fish left. At that moment, he just looked at the items and didn't count them.
He went next door and caught one for each of his eldest and second brothers. He left one for Aguang, and he went to deal with the remaining five first.
One pot is stewed, four pots are soaked in two jars of wine, one jar is given to his father-in-law, and one jar is reserved for himself.
He cut open the snake's belly, peeled off its skin, removed its internal organs, and rolled it into a disk. The snake's gallbladder was also put in, and two snakes were placed in a jar.
Then I went to the drugstore and bought a large bag of medicinal materials, including black tiger root, dinggongteng, banfenghe, Sichuan achyranthes root, chicken blood vine, rehmannia glutinosa, polygonum multiflorum, morinda officinalis, fanfeng, independent life, Guolonggang and so on.
Pour half of the 35 kilograms of white wine you just bought into it and seal it for at least one month.
Both jars of wine are made in the same way. If possible, you can add velvet antlers and seahorses to the wine, which will have a stronger effect of tonifying the kidneys and strengthening yang!
Their locals also use dried sea snakes to make wine, and dried sea snakes are quite easy to buy.
"Are you done with your work?"
Ye Yaodong looked up and said, "Are the two children asleep? Go in and put on more clothes. I'm almost done."
All he had to do was seal the mouth of the altar.
"The chopped piece on the stove is going to be blanched, right? I'll do it." After saying that, she sat in front of the stove and started to light the fire.
Ye Yaodong thought that sitting at the mouth of the stove would keep the fire from getting cold, so he stopped urging her to go inside and get dressed.
"Then I'll blanch this one for you, and I'll send the remaining one to A Guang."
"Okay, go back quickly. Be careful on the way and bring a flashlight. Wait...it seems a little cold outside. I just heard the wind. I'm going to get you a coat, so you don't catch a cold."
"good."
Ye Yaodong looked at her back, the corners of his mouth raised, and the caring concern made his heart warm. Who doesn't like to be taken into consideration?
He used straw to make a rope, tied up the snake, and carried it in his hand. After putting on his coat, he told his wife not to wait for him. After blanching the snake meat, he went back to the house, lay down, and walked out.
As soon as he walked out of the house, a gust of wind made his hair stand on end. Unexpectedly, the wind picked up just a moment later, and the waves rolled and splashed. He took a quick look, wrapped up his coat, and turned on the flashlight.
Pick up the pace.
But I didn't expect to meet Lin Jishang's group again. What a coincidence. I didn't know how many days they unloaded goods. It seemed to be very frequent. Maybe he lived by the beach, so he was lucky to go back.
encountered.
"What a coincidence, another cargo has arrived?"
Lin Jishang smiled and pulled out two cigarettes for him, without answering directly, "It's so late, where are you going with a flashlight?"
Ye Yaodong took the cigarette and held it in his hand instead of putting it behind his ear like the current people did. He felt that this was a bit awkward.
"I caught a few green-ringed sea snakes today, and I was so busy that I only had time to send one to a friend."
Lin Jishang glanced at the limp snake in his hand and said with a smile: "What a good thing. If you can still catch it next time, leave two for me."
"Okay, no problem. I won't delay your work. I'll leave first."
"Okay, see you later."
He wasn't from the same place, and he didn't intend to have a close acquaintance with him, but he was from the same village and would often meet him. For the sake of the watch in his hand, it was inevitable to say hello.
Ye Yaodong continued walking towards A Guang's house. The lights in his house had been turned off and it was pitch dark. He looked for his window and knocked on it.
"Who is it? It's late at night...I'm not a big girl, and there are people knocking on the window..." He muttered a few words, and then stood up...
But he didn't know that his words were all heard by Ye Yaodong outside the window, and he immediately thought of this guy knocking on his sister's window after dark, and suddenly felt unhappy again.
When he turned on the light and opened the window, he hid directly, untied the rope from his hand, and threw the snake towards him.
"What the hell... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." Aguang was shocked when he was hit by an unknown object. After squeezing it in his hand, he realized that it was a snake. His instinctive reaction was to pinch its head, but
Found it wouldn't move.
He depressedly grabbed the slippery snake in his hand and said, "It's just a snake, Mader is still dead and headless. I wonder if I am a professional snake catcher? What kind of turtle is teasing me in the middle of the night? Get out of here!"
While he was talking, he stuck his head out of the window. Ye Yaodong took advantage of him and punched him in the face to relieve his depression.
"Fuck, you are the grandson of the turtle."
I originally wanted to scare him, but I forgot for a moment that catching snakes is his strong point. He will not be afraid or depressed.
"Oh~ you bastard, the wound on my face hasn't even healed yet, and here you are again!"
"I brought you a sea snake, don't you know a good person's heart."
"Is this a sea snake?" A Guang looked carefully and saw that the snake on his hand was really different from the usual ones on the mountain. There were black rings on the body.
He asked in surprise: "Green sea snake?"
"right!"
"You are wasting everything by riding on the horse! Why didn't you catch the animal alive and cut off its head? It would be best to soak the whole animal in wine."
"I'm afraid of death! This is a venomous snake, more venomous than a cobra. I can't handle it alive. I dare not touch it. If it is not soaked to death in the wine jar, if it bites me when it is opened, it will die.
It’s me. It’s better not to be greedy, don’t make this money, it’s more important to save your life.”
It was so difficult to do it all over again, and of course he would cherish his life.
A Guang rolled his eyes at him, "It's so useless, a waste! It would be great if I could encounter this."
"It's better not to say goodbye. This snake is very venomous. No one can guarantee that nothing will happen to you. It's better to do less risky things. Even if you kill snakes all day long, you may get pecked in the eye by an eagle..."
"Damn it, I was hunting geese all day long and was pecked out of my eyes by geese. You can't tell me, can you not tell me? It's very uncomfortable for people to hear." Aguang looked at him with a constipated and uncomfortable expression, which made him a little embarrassed.
"Ah? Is that so?"
"I suggest you go to a literacy class, or listen to your nephews and nieces learn more."
"Humph, it's amazing to be in the fifth grade? I didn't want to read at that time." He was resisting so hard, but in fact, he also had the idea of ​​going to a literacy class in his heart. If nothing else, he just couldn't read the newspaper.
It's very uncomfortable.
"Come on, if nothing happens, you can go back to bed early. I'll kill this snake and boil it. I'll make pork rib soup tomorrow night. Finish it early and go to bed early. We have to go to sea at night."
"There should be no need to go at night. It was windy and the waves were very big."
"Are the waves big? I thought it was just a little windy." Aguang also put his head and hands out of the window to try, and found that there seemed to be no wind.
"The land is different from the sea. The wind is probably very strong at sea. Anyway, when I came out, I saw the waves rolling up. It's up to you."
"Well, it depends on the situation at night. If the waves are too big, we can come back and rest for a day."
Ye Yaodong nodded and said nothing more. It was too late. The things were delivered. He said goodbye and walked back.
When he reached the intersection to the dock, he looked specifically in the direction of the dock. There were headlights flashing over there, and he didn't know how much cargo was being unloaded.
He turned around and walked to the right. The direction of his home was exactly one right and one left of the dock. As for the house they bought on Linji with a foundation, it happened to be above the Z-shaped house, which was slightly towards the direction of his house.
From a distance, he saw that there was a light left for him in the house, and he quickened his pace.
The orange light illuminated the empty hall, and he locked the door behind him, turned off the light, and then walked to the room.
There was silence in the room. He took off his clothes and climbed up on the bed, gently pressing on his wife, "Aqing? Are you asleep?"
"about to sleep."
"That means you haven't slept yet."
He gently put the two children into a corner, then squeezed in next to his wife, holding her and groping around.
Lin Xiuqing slapped his hands off and lowered her voice, "Don't make trouble, go to bed quickly, it's a bit late, didn't you drink a lot of wine earlier?"
"Who said you'll fall asleep after drinking? I'm not drunk. I've been busy for a while and went out to blow in the wind for a while. I'm awake now. The drunkenness has already passed. Give me a touch. Why don't I do it?
?”
"Don't bother!"
"You are a woman who will fall out whenever you say she wants. Didn't you really like her before? You were gentle and gentle even when you sent me out, and you were reluctant to leave."
Lin Xiuqing's face turned red instantly, "Don't talk nonsense, you didn't know that it didn't work in the first three months?"
"These people all have needs. If you can't do it in the first three months, and you can't do it in the next three months, how can you survive? Hiss~"
Lin Xiuqing listened to his nonsensical words, pinched his flesh hard, and then rotated 90 degrees...
Ye Yaodong took a breath, "Oh~ I was wrong, I was wrong, it's me who can't live, it's not you... it's not you... be gentle... let go..."
"Sleep your sleep!"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Lin Xiuqing then stopped.
He held her now and did not dare to move around for the time being, and planned to talk seriously for a while in a low voice.
"The boat has been negotiated for 2200. You can order the money in advance tomorrow. Although the boat has been used for many years, I heard that it is in good condition and the machine is considered new. It was just replaced last year. I will check it tomorrow.
If there is a problem, we can just apply a few more coats of paint."
"okay."
"After buying this boat, our family still has more than 1,000 yuan left, which is enough if we need emergency help. No matter how hard I work in the past few months, if we save some money, it will be better for the baby to be born safely.
Thousands of dollars in fines.”
When talking about this, Lin Xiuqing felt distressed and worried at the same time, "Well, I heard that many people who were lucky enough to give birth to children this year were fined several thousand, and I don't know if next year it will be stricter and the fines will be more severe.
.”
"I want a child, but there is no other way. If I can give birth to a child safely, I will punish him. If the money is gone, I can earn it again."
Ye Yaodong put his hand on her still flat belly. From pregnancy to birth, he didn't pay much attention to the first two children. Apart from contributing the seeds, he had no sense of participation. This one made him worried from the beginning.
This is his little ancestor!
"How about you build a pig pen in the open space next to me when you have free time? Let's catch two little piglets in the spring. I'll have nothing to do at home. Raising pigs can also supplement the family income."
He frowned and said, "Forget it, those pigs are so smelly, it's not easy to clean the pig pen, and you have to go to the mountains or fields to collect pig grass. When you are pregnant next spring, how dare you wander around?
You can’t send your two sons away, right?”
"Yes, let's forget it for now." Her hopes were dashed, and she stopped talking about sex.
Ye Yaodong felt his belly and walked up, "It's already good if you have nothing to do and do the Internet. You don't have to think about making money all the time. Take good care of your baby. I will make money."
"okay."
"If you want to eat something, just buy it boldly. You can't lose yourself or the child in your belly if you lose anyone. How much does it cost to eat and drink? If someone picks fruits to sell, just buy more..."
"Nervous!" Lin Xiuqing glared at him and patted his stupid hand, "My parents' house is full of fruit trees, and I still have to go out to buy fruit?"
"Then when the ship is finalized, I will go to your house to move two sacks of grapefruit?"
"I just went there last month. Isn't it too frequent? There are still a lot of pickled persimmons at home, and I'm not greedy. The ones in my stomach are very good and don't bother me. I'd better wait a little later. I'll wait until the oranges are ripe next month before I go back to pick them up.
Orange bar."
"Okay, I will listen to whatever you say."
As he spoke, his hands moved up involuntarily...
Lin Xiuqing had a headache, "Can you stop playing?"
"Make a round ball and make a lot of money!"
Lin Xiuqing: "..."
Maybe there will be another update in the evening, maybe not...
Just let it happen~~
Don't wait!!!
