- Liu Junhao did not dare to delay and immediately rode back to the village. He almost went door to door to notify.
The matter was far bigger than he thought. After hearing that his ancestors' belongings were dug up by the river, all the idle people in the village rushed over. They had never been so present at meetings.
When Liu Junhao approached again, he couldn't squeeze in front of him at all, so he could only watch from a distance on horseback. You can vaguely hear Mr. Liu Wu speaking there: "I heard from the older generation that our village was first built on the river beach. Later, the river often flooded, and the village was flooded several times before it was changed to its current location. It is said that this is nearby There is also a big stone tablet, which writes about our ancestor Liu Erwa in Liujiagou. There used to be a family tree, and it was also recorded on it. Unfortunately, the Posijiu was burned in the past sixty years"
There really is a genealogy. Liu Junhao was also stunned when he heard it. He said that he had always thought that the seniority and so on in Liujiagou were only passed down orally from generation to generation. It's a pity that it burned long ago and now there is no chance to see it again.
To be honest, not many people in the younger generation want to hear Liu Wuye talk about ancient times. Although Liu Erwa is an ancestor, they are still more than 20 generations apart, so their feelings have long since faded.
Most people want to dig out the stone slab quickly to see what good things are in the well.
After the old people confirmed one by one, everyone agreed to dig a well and take a look. Of course, this time it was much more grand than before. Before excavation, yellow paper was burned to worship the ancestors.
All the men present in Liujiagou lined up in several horizontal lines according to their seniority, and then the man with the highest seniority led them to kowtow.
"It's as if it's true. It's purely superstition. Xiaohao, do you think it is?" Liu Junliang, who was standing next to him, leaned over and said in a low voice.
Before Liu Junhao could say anything, Liu Laosan, Liu Junliang¡¯s father, had already hit him on the head with a hard chestnut: ¡°You kid, don¡¯t talk nonsense¡±
This guy immediately became honest and followed behind him with a low eyebrow and kowtowed.
In fact, Liu Junliang¡¯s words represent the thoughts of most young people. They all feel that the ancestors are too far apart, and it can be hundreds of years apart.
¡°Besides, the tombs of our ancestors have been washed away by floods and cannot be found anymore. Now why are we biting our heads in front of a big stone slab? The stone is not our ancestors. However, with the example of Liu Junliang, no one dared to raise objections at this time.
After kowtowing, they lit incense one by one. After a while, the bowl of the incense burner was full.
After all the procedures were completed, Liu Guangju asked a few young men to lift the big stone slab. This time Liu Junhao also stepped forward to help.
After the big stone slab was opened, everyone felt disappointed. The ancient well had collapsed long ago. Apart from a pile of blue bricks and sludge, nothing else could be seen at the wellhead.
Thinking about it, the well has been abandoned for hundreds of years, which can be regarded as a vicissitudes of life. It is very good to be able to maintain it like this.
After the old people came forward to check again, they continued to dig. Pieces of heavy Mawu bricks were moved out, and the space underground gradually expanded. However, as the space expanded, people became more and more disappointed. The ancestors did not leave anything good to future generations in the well.
"What do you think this is?" At this time, Liu Qihua suddenly discovered a blue thing in the soil.
Hearing his call, everyone became more energetic and gathered around the edge of the pit to watch.
When this thing was unearthed, I lost interest again. It was just a rusty piece of copper that looked ugly. It was passed around among the old people and then thrown to the ground.
"Let me take a look" Mr. Wang is a knowledgeable person. He came closer and took a few glances and said, "This should be an ancient ruffled bronze mirror. People used to use this kind of mirror to comb their hair."
Hearing that it was a bronze mirror, several old people quickly placed it on the table to offer it It was probably used by their ancestors.
Then they dug out a lot of broken pots and jars, which Mr. Wang speculated were used to draw water from wells. However, the workmanship of these rotten jars is very rough, no different from those in the abandoned kiln next to the woods, and they have no collection value.
After working for a long time, except for the half piece of bronze mirror, nothing valuable was dug out. Everyone was unwilling to give in and searched everywhere again, but the stone tablet Liu Wuye mentioned was not found.
????????????? But this matter is not over yet, a few old people started to make plans to build an ancestral hall.
The construction of the ancestral hall cannot be done overnight, it can only be done slowly.
Zhang Qian heard about this incident just after she got home from school. She kept complaining that she was not there at the time, saying that she must go over and have a look when she had time, and it would be best to take some photos.
"There's nothing good to see. Nothing was dug out. I just dug out half a piece of bronze mirror, and it was so rusty that it didn't look like it." Liu Junhao gave up the idea.
In fact, things about the ancestors of the Liu family are only lively for a few days.After that, except for the older generation, few people mentioned it.
Life went on as usual. Taking advantage of her free time, Zhang Qian went to Liu Wunai's house to learn how to dry sweet potatoes. She was very well prepared and brought a notebook to record the steps.
After figuring out all the steps, she started experimenting at home with great interest.
Zhang Qian was busy, and Liu Junhao was naturally not idle. He picked up many smaller sweet potatoes early, washed them and put them into the pot. According to my wife, only tender sweet potatoes can be boiled to become syrupy, so the dried sweet potatoes made in this way are delicious.
Liu Junhao naturally didn¡¯t believe it, it was just like the joke her little nephew made.
Last time when Xiao Zeyu came over, Liu Junhao handed him a big sweet potato, but this guy was not satisfied and insisted on giving Jianhui a small or big one.
I originally thought that I understood Kong Rong¡¯s offer of pears, but who knew that the little guy said: ¡°The big one is old and not delicious.¡± At that time, everyone almost burst into laughter.
But small sweet potatoes also have the advantage of being easy to cook. Liu Junhao kept an eye on the heat while Zhang Qian looked at the time.
It took more than an hour to steam a pot of sweet potatoes, and the water in the pot was almost gone.
I thought that since Zhang Qian was a novice, this sweet potato would definitely not be able to become syrupy. Unexpectedly, the effect was very good. The skin of the sweet potato was thin and a bit transparent, and you could clearly feel the water inside.
Liu Junhao picked one up with chopsticks and put it in his wife's bowl. Then he also made one for himself. He endured the heat of his mouth and stuffed it into his mouth. Suddenly, the sticky sweet potato syrup rushed into his mouth with scalding heat, and his mouth was full of sweetness.
You don¡¯t need to chew it with your teeth at all, just lick it with your tongue a few times, and the sweetness has penetrated into your belly and lungs, and it is really delicious.
After eating a sweet potato, Liu Junhao felt that his stomach was full of honey, and the sweat pores all over his body relaxed.
He smacked his lips and took another one out of the pot.
"Well, let me just say it's worth spending a little more effort, right?" Zhang Qian felt a sense of accomplishment when she saw that he was eating so well.
"Well, it's certainly worth eating it yourself, but you don't want to do it every day, do you? It took us almost two hours to make half a pot of sweet potatoes. There are thousands of kilograms piled in the backyard."
Liu Junhao said casually, and his wife immediately became frustrated.
The dried sweet potatoes made in this way are delicious, but they are too labor-intensive. If we continue with this method, we probably won't be able to finish it in one day.
After the sweet potatoes cooled down, Liu Junhao put them on the chopping board, peeled them one by one, and cut them into strips.
When the weather is good, put the sweet potatoes in a dustpan to dry. In order to prevent flies, a layer of window screen was specially placed on top.
At this point, the preparation of dried sweet potatoes is more than half done. The next thing to do is to occasionally turn over the dried sweet potatoes and change their positions so that each one can fully enjoy the moisture of the sun. The drying time of sweet potatoes must be mastered. If the drying time is too short, the water will not evaporate completely, and it will easily become moldy during storage. If the time is too long, the dried sweet potatoes will become very hard and taste bad.
After drying, you still need to apply frost, that is, put the dried sweet potatoes into a jar and seal them for half a month. A layer of milky white frost will naturally grow on the surface of sweet potatoes. This frost is the sugar syrup overflowing from inside.
Zhang Qian lost her energy after steaming two pots of sweet potatoes and never mentioned her grand talk about selling dried sweet potatoes.
As for the things that were dried upstairs, they were all left to Liu Junhao to handle, saying that they would be kept at home to eat.
Liu Junhao spent a long time tumbling over dried sweet potatoes upstairs. After checking that everything was fine, he went back to the house to rest.
I had just been online for a while when the phone rang.
He didn't recognize the person's voice at first, and it wasn't until he introduced himself that he remembered: It was the client Dr. Wang introduced last time, his name was Ma Jun, and he opened a restaurant in the city. At that time, he was given a ticket. Here's the business card.
"Boss Liu, let me tell you some good news" After the greetings, Ma Jun started talking about business, "Last time I bought a few kilograms of eels from you to entertain the guests. The guests were very satisfied after eating them. We later approached the aquatic products department. My friend checked it out and found that you are an eel"
Halfway through, the guy suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong with my eel?" Liu Junhao asked immediately. He didn't have to worry about any side effects after eating the eel. After all, he had eaten it for so long and had no physical problems at all. On the contrary, he was getting better and better.
What he is worried about is that people engaged in aquaculture research something abnormal, and if it causes a sensation, his stone lock may be exposed.
This is contrary to the comfortable life he expected. He has always insisted on being a low-key person, doing things in a low-key manner, and making money in a low-key manner
"The appraisal result is that although your eel is domesticated, it has maintained the living habits of wild eels to the greatest extent possible, and its quality is of exceptional quality Why didn't you respond?" Ma Jun said.One day, I found that there was no happy look on the other end of the phone.
"Oh Special class, what else is there?" Liu Junhao finally came back to his senses. He already knew that the eels raised in the backyard were of good quality. If it is soaked in spring water, can it be of poor quality? Otherwise, there would be so many repeat customers.
¡°But it¡¯s not bad to have an appraisal, it¡¯s recognized by an authoritative department.
"Our hotel wants to cooperate with Boss Liu for a long time. The eels you raise"
"Stop, I have no intention of expanding breeding for the time being." Ma Jun was stopped by Liu Junhao just as he was halfway through his words. He had heard the following words many times.
"Haha, I heard Dr. Wang say this too. I'm just giving you a suggestion. If you want to cooperate in the future, just call me. Also, prepare ten kilograms of your eels for me. I'll pick them up tomorrow"
