Text Chapter 60: Autumn rain and coolness

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    One autumn rain and another cool one. With several autumn rains, the weather became completely cooler.  At night, I could only hear the old north wind blowing, and the poplar trees in the yard whined.  Liu Junhao didn't care at first, and still covered himself with a thin blanket when sleeping. But in the middle of the night, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to turn on the light and go into the house and put a quilt on the bed to feel warm.

    When I woke up in the morning, water was flowing from both nostrils. It looked like I had caught a cold last night.  In fact, he somewhat deserved it. Professor Zhao had been persuading him to tuck himself into bed more than ten days ago, but he kept refusing.

    It's just a little cold. Liu Junhao doesn't care much about it. He'll put on more clothes later and boil a bowl of ginger soup to cover his sweat. He's in good physical condition, so he doesn't take this little cold seriously.  .

    After opening the door, yellow branches fell on the ground outside the yard, and the poplar leaves were blown everywhere, leaving no place to stay.

    He picked up the rake and spread it on the ground. The yard was relatively flat, so it was easy to sweep the remaining branches and leaves into big piles with the rake. While he was busy, he heard Xiaopi screaming non-stop in the backyard.  , seems to have discovered something.

    It couldn't be that some big animal ran into his yard, otherwise Xiaopi wouldn't scream so loudly. Liu Junhao threw away the rake and ran to the backyard quickly, only to see Xiaopi pointing towards a gray tree under the acacia tree.  The black mass of leaves roared.  It pulled it out with its paws and quickly moved away a few steps.

    It turned out that he met a big hedgehog. No wonder Xiaopi screamed so happily. Even if he wanted to catch this thing, he had nowhere to bite.

    The hedgehog was rolled up into a ball, and its small gray and white thorns looked like a big pom-pom from a distance. At this moment, it had dug a big pit under the acacia tree. From the new soil on the side, it could be seen that it had just been dug last night.  .

    It seems that this hedgehog is going to hibernate here, so don¡¯t disturb others¡¯ good sleep.  He scolded Xiaopi and led it away, no longer caring about the little thing.

    There are many hedgehogs in rural areas, especially in summer evenings. You can often hear the rustling on the roots of wheat straw, and it is most likely that hedgehogs are coming out to look for food.  However, this thing is not delicious and cannot be sold for money. Usually people will not take the initiative to touch it if they see it. They only play with it when children have nothing to do.

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

    This is good, 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 clear, but at this time, he was hungry.

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

    Rural people don¡¯t buy a special pan for spreading pancakes. They just put them in a big pot and spread them out directly. This is the best way to show a person¡¯s skills.

    Liu Junhao¡¯s skills were not very good before, but in the past few years, he has been living alone and has gradually developed his cooking skills.

    Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a little flour and stir evenly, then add the chopped green onions and garlic sprouts and stir once.

    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 on the edge of the pan, flip it back and forth several times with a spatula, and a brown pancake will be spread out in less than two minutes.  alright.

    Next, the pot was completely boiled, and Liu Junhao spread it even faster.  Basically, it only takes thirty to forty seconds to make one pancake. In less than ten minutes, the egg batter is completely spread out, and there are more than a dozen fragrant pancakes in the steamed bun sieve.  He brought a few in a bowl to Professor Zhao and his wife, and then started eating himself.

    A few days ago, despite Liu Junhao¡¯s repeated persuasion, Professor Zhao and his wife moved into their new home.  In fact, it doesn't matter whether they move or not. The two families are right next to each other. If anything happens, just say hello through the wall.

    The pancakes Liu Junhao sells are extremely thin and brown, and they are topped with coriander and sesame salt. When you bite into them, the fragrant onions, garlic, and sesame flavors enter your mouth together, making you smack your lips.

    In less than twenty minutes, he ate all the half-bowl pancakes, then threw the bowl and chopsticks into the pot to soak. Contentedly, he pulled up two chairs, took a pot of hot tea, and sat on the wind-swept table.  The sun comes in under the eaves.

    Although the sun is already several feet high now, it is not harsh at all. It shines warmly on people. It is most comfortable to bask in the sun here after having a good meal and wine.

    A few minutes later, Professor Zhao also finished his meal and leisurely walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back. When he saw that the chessboard beside Liu Junhao had been set up, he didn't say anything more and just started the battle.

    So an old man and a young man started a massacre in the yard. During this period, Liu JunhaoMy chess skills have greatly improved, and now if I play chess with Professor Zhao seriously, I can usually win two out of three games.

    ??????????????????? But playing chess is just to kill time and have fun, so he only occasionally puts a damper on it, so that the two of them win basically the same number of times.

    They played this game of chess very slowly. 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 it for today. I still want to play."  I'm delivering eggs to Liu Qiyong's house, his 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 inside. One hundred eggs were placed in most of the bamboo basket.  Liu Junhao thought about it and added seven or eight more, just a small change. There will be no charge when he sends it over later.

    Liu Qiyong and his wife were both watching TV at home, so they were naturally very enthusiastic when they saw him come in.  Liu Qiyong asked about the number of eggs and paid him forty-five yuan without checking.  Everyone knows that the eggs from Liu Junhao's family are five cents more expensive than those from other families. Liu Qiyong doesn't feel that he is at a disadvantage. Just look at the eggs and you will know that they are as big as duck eggs.

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

    "You too, don't count. What if there are less?" As soon as Liu Junhao walked out of the door, Liu Qiyong's wife was scolding her on the bed.

    "No matter how many you count, I don't even care about the five yuan. You will lose a few eggs. You really have long hair and short knowledge." Liu Qiyong impatiently gave a few words. This daughter-in-law is good at everything, and she also knows how to run a house, but she has some problems.  Shrewd and stingy.

    But when he saw that his wife wanted to get out of bed to count the eggs in person, he had to count the eggs he had just placed again, and ended up counting a few too many.  At first, her wife didn't believe it, so she asked Liu Qiyong to count them again before confirming that he really didn't care about these eggs. Now she was a little embarrassed and said that she would give him a few kilograms of pork when she killed the pig during the Chinese New Year.

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

    Liu Guangju is very proud of his life these days. He appeared on TV twice in less than a few months. Even Mayor Qi in the town has not received such treatment.

    And because of the road construction some time ago, his prestige among the villagers has obviously improved a lot.  In the past, although everyone smiled at each other when they met, they were less close to each other.  Now he clearly felt that the people in the village were becoming more enthusiastic towards him, and sometimes he would say hello when he saw them from afar.

    They were still talking about the eleventh opera. Every villager thought that this opera would continue in the future and become a tradition in Liujiagou.

    Everyone has a small account in their mind. The last time they started a big drama, they only spent a total of 10,000 yuan. However, in those few days, many families earned more than 1,000 yuan just by selling food. They all tasted the benefits.  Naturally, I want to continue doing it next year.

    When everyone saw Liu Junhao coming, they all greeted him and started talking about the eels in his yard. As they were talking, someone asked him how much money he had earned this year.

    Seeing that they all looked very interested, Liu Junhao remained silent and said nothing. In fact, he was not guarding anything, but felt there was no need to show off.

    ¡°As the weather gradually turned colder these days, the number of people visiting Liujiagou decreased significantly, and his income from eels was also much less, so he took advantage of his free time to casually calculate his income in recent months.

    ¡°It¡¯s not like I didn¡¯t know, but I was shocked to find out that the income from selling eels, jujubes, eggs and other miscellaneous things in the yard plus one dollar turned out to be almost 20,000.
