Longing for mountain village life

Grandpa pinched the head of the yellow eel, pinched it like a snake and threw it into the iron bucket, and poured the crucian carp into the plastic basin.

"I'll take care of the fish, you go get the stove out."

Jiang Tian answered, jumped into the kitchen, lifted out the coal stove, took two carbon balls, found some dry bean straw, broke it up a little, and sprinkled it on the stove.

After taking a few corn on the cob and preparing it, Jiang Tian returned to the kitchen, searched for a long time but could not find a lighter, and had to use matches.

When I was a child, this kind of match was a good thing, with a light stroke, it could be lit, and for a while Jiang Tian also liked to play with fire, always wanted something to play, and was frightened by his grandfather that children who played with fire were easy to wet the bed when sleeping.

It was such a sentence that made him not play again, and when he grew up, he naturally knew that this was just a bluffing trick.

The match lit the bean straw and put it in the stove, and after the burning was strong, Jiang Tian broke the corn cob into three sections and threw it in.

The flame burned slowly, and Jiang Tian put a few corn cobs into it, and when it burned to the hottest, he pressed it with fire scissors and briquettes.

A small breeze blows slowly, blowing corn on the cob through the vent, burning briquettes.

After completing the task of Shen Huo, Jiang Tian came to his grandfather's side, he was dealing with crucian carp, without raising his head, he said with a smile: "You have made a crucian carp nest, you have made so many crucian carp back, if you leave it for a long time, it will definitely be broken."

Today I will get you a crucian carp soup, to ensure that it is very fresh, the remaining crucian carp is salted and dried, and if you want to eat it at that time, whether it is fried or fried. "

Grandpa skillfully plucked out the entrails of crucian carp and threw them into the small pond next to it, where ducks were rattling in the pool, and the food was called a fragrant.

Grandpa smiled, "Just don't have to let these ducks out today, you go to find that there should be duck eggs in the nest."

Jiang Tian hurriedly went to the duck nest and found that there were five duck eggs inside.

"There really are, five!" Jiang Tian shouted.

"Exactly, this is a fresh duck egg, usually these ducks eat small fish, vegetables, natural pollution-free, will cut some leeks for you, make a duck egg fried leek, that thing is a big supplement."

Jiang Tian put the duck eggs in the basket hanging on the beam in the kitchen and took the bag of salt.

Grandpa has already cleaned up the crucian carp, put part of the crucian carp in a basin, poured salt, wiped it evenly, and went to the kitchen to find hemp rope from the fish's mouth, strung into a string, and then hung under the eaves for air drying.

Then, grandpa stood in front of the big carp, crossed his waist, still felt amazing, "This fish is inevitably too big, I have not seen it in most of my life, just today I will make you a braised carp, broken, soy sauce may not be enough, you go to the store to buy some back."

"Okay! What is missing, I bought it back in one piece.

Grandpa went to the kitchen and looked at it, "Buy some white sugar, cooking wine, and don't use the rest." With

the order, Jiang Tian left the small courtyard and walked towards the small shop in front of the village.

The road is no different from the last time, it is muddy when it rains, and some villagers have paved bluestones, even so, you still need to walk carefully, otherwise you will be troubled if you step into the mud puddles.

Some villagers also proposed to repair the road, after all, this is a main road in the village, but most of the people left now are elderly people who are not very willing to toss, that is, they don't want to spend money, so they have been delayed.

Usually, it's nothing, that is, it's hard to walk when it rains.

There was an old man chatting and talking at the door of the house, and when he saw Jiang Tian, although he didn't know him, he also became a talking point, and it was estimated that he couldn't forget it for a long time.

Who is such a handsome young man, is he in love, and so on.

It's like this in the village, there's nothing wrong with talking, as long as it's not too much.

On the wall of the house in front of it hangs a wooden sign with the word "shop" written on it.

The wooden sign is some years old, and it has been beaten by wind and rain outside, and the handwriting is much dimmer.

The small shop in the village is to build two rooms in front of the courtyard of the house, open up, one for sale, one for storage, but in general, such as Taoshan Village, a small shop with a relatively small population, does not enter many goods.

"Lady, bring me a bottle of soy sauce, cooking wine, and a bag of white sugar."

Jiang Tian looked at the goods on the simple shelves, compared with the city, the single type was pitiful, and there were only three or two instant noodles and bread.

He asked for a plastic bag and put a little honey three knives, this thing is very sweet, I loved to eat it when I was a child, and I didn't see it when I was in a big city, not that there was no such thing as a child.

Now that I see it, it's a little kind.

The lady of the shop weighed the weight of the honey three knives and said, "A total of ten pieces and five hairs, wipe the fraction for you."

"Thank you, madam!" Jiang Tian paid ten yuan, this is a mountain village, even the signal is very poor, let alone mobile phone payment.

He was walking on the road with a plastic bag, and there was an old man leading a cow ready to go to the cultivated land.

Jiang Tian saw many people standing in front of his grandfather's house from afar, making noise, he laughed, it must be that the people in the village heard that he caught such a long big carp, the picture is rare, they all came to see the liveliness.

After walking in, I heard these people talk non-stop.

"Old Mingtou actually got such a big fish, no wonder Er Laizi took a fancy."

"He's not easy to mess with, it looks like this big carp is about to change owners."

Jiang Tian quickly dialed away the villagers who were watching the excitement and squeezed in.

I saw three people standing in the yard, grandpa holding a kitchen knife and fish scales on it, apparently preparing to deal with a large carp.

Opposite him were two men, one as thin as a bamboo pole, and the other with a stooped waist.

Grandpa was angry, "Erlaizi, three lame what are you going to do, this is the fish my grandson caught, but not yours, hurry up and roll me."

Erlaizi bent his waist, his face was vicissitudes, and he looked like a scoundrel, "Who said, this big carp was caught by me and my son from the reservoir with great difficulty, it took a lot of effort, but I didn't expect it to be stolen by your thief grandson."

The three cripples pointed to the big carp, "That is, you look at the scales on this fish, and I cut off a piece, of course we have to take it." "

Bah!" Grandpa spat out, "Just you two pickled goods, too lazy to even abandon the cultivated land at home, and will go to the reservoir to catch fish?" Dare to say that my grandson is a thief, you see I don't cut you! "
