Chapter Thirteen Ponytail

 When climbing up Nanshan, looking at the foot of the mountain, Ye Yuze couldn't help but click his tongue. Although it is easier to go up this mountain, how do you get down?

It’s not Ye Yuze’s fault to worry about this. When we came up, the slope was steeper, so the distance was much shorter.

Due to the topography, the snow cover is much less than that of Beishan. Some sections have to be climbed on all fours.

Before Ye Yuze could sigh, Yang Geyong led Ye Yuze towards the south of the mountain top.

When he reached the edge of the top of the mountain, Ye Yuze lowered his head and looked down. He quickly stepped back.

It turns out that this place is actually a cliff. It goes straight up and down. It is as straight and smooth as if someone had split it with a knife.

Yang Geyong buried the two iron rings in his hands in the snow. Then he carefully made the ponytails into loops, and sprinkled some wheat grains into each loop.

In this way, when the snow chicken eats wheat grains, it is easy for the snare to strangle its neck when it raises its head.

Ye Yuze observed carefully for a long time before he figured out the principle. He couldn't help but admire the thoughtfulness of the person who invented the condom.

It took almost an hour to finish the two condoms.

After Yang Geyong finished, he carefully smoothed the snow and sprinkled a layer of snow foam on top. In this way, the birds would not suspect even if they saw it.

Don't think these birds are stupid, they will stay away as long as they see many traces of other animals.

After doing this, Yang Geyong took Ye Yuze and walked west again. They walked for about an hour.

If it weren't for the fact that there was very little snow on the top of the mountain, Ye Yuze would probably not be able to walk again.

At this time, Yang Geyong finally stopped and asked Ye Yuze to put on the skis together.

Ye Yuze looked down the mountain. Only then did he realize that although the hillside here was still steep, it had become much gentler.

Although there are still some protruding rocks, they are rare. You can easily avoid them when skiing.

"When will the set be picked up?"

Ye Yuze asked, he was looking forward to this thing. At least now he is more interested in skiing.

"Tomorrow morning, I have to come as soon as it gets light."

Yang Geyong thought for a moment and replied.

"Then can you call me when you come tomorrow?"

Yang Geyong looked at him. "Did your mother let you come out so early?"

It seems that this guy knows very well about Ye Yuze's family situation.

Ye Yuze nodded, "I can just get up early."

I won’t describe the skiing process in detail. It feels like the difference between 60 miles and 120 miles.

Anyway, that feeling is just one word. That is "cool!"

If I had to add a modifier, it would be "It's so damn cool!"

After the two of them reached the bottom of the mountain, they had to walk east for another hour before they could return to the company.

There is a small river in the ravine. There is not much water. At this time, it has already been covered with thick ice. The top is covered with snow.

Yang Geyong kept walking on the river. Because the mountain road was covered with snow, he could not see it at all.

The river is easy to find because of its bed. At least there will be no obstacles or pits on the river. Walking on it is no different from walking on an asphalt road.

When the two people walked to the edge of the company, they saw a group of children clearing the snow on the river and sledding on the ice.

The sledge is a relatively versatile means of transportation in northern Xinjiang. It is the same for both ice and snow.

When children skate, they use two snow poles to slide on the ice. The stronger children use the sledge to slide very fast.

There are also a few older children skating on roller skates.

Ye Yuze had seen this thing before, but it was not made from home soil. It was bought from a serious store. A pair costs five yuan.

Looking at Ye Yuze's envious eyes, Yang Geyong asked:

"How about it, do you want ice skates?"

Ye Yuze was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what he was talking about.

Because the bottom of the skates looks like a knife, people in the Corps are accustomed to calling them skates.

However, the skates at that time did not have shoes. They were just ice blades with a shoe support. So it is not wrong to call them skates.

Ye Yuze looked at him, but he knew that the salary in 1976 was not high.

My father's salary, considered high in the company, was only 76 yuan. My mother was only in her early 58s.

And this is because it belongs to the frontier, plus frontier subsidies. There are many people in the mainland whose salary is more than 30 yuan.

He suddenly took out five yuan to buy a pair of skates. He asked himself that he didn't have the ability.

I guess my gentle and kind-hearted mother immediately ordered Huawei Tyrannosaurus after hearing this request.

He shook his head, smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Yang Geyong smiled mysteriously. "You come out after dinner in the evening, and I will take you somewhere."

Ye Yuze nodded. He had just arrived in this place. Everything was still unfamiliar. Naturally, everything had to be obeyed by the landlord.

It gets dark late in northern Xinjiang, and it was only seven o'clock in the afternoon when Ye Yuze got home.

Mom and the others didn't get off work until eight o'clock. Ye Yuze was bored. He opened the pot and took a look, planning to cook.

There are few vegetables in winter, just potatoes and radishes. There is not even cabbage there.

Ye Yuze was greedy for meat. He knew that all the meat at home was hung in the storage room to the south. So he walked in with a kitchen knife.

The houses in the company are all rows of buildings. There are no yards.

Since the storage rooms were built by myself, they were built more than ten meters away from the main house.

The door was pinned with a stick, so Ye Yuze pulled it off and went in.

This was the first time he entered this house. As soon as he entered the door, he was jumped.

There were actually three slaughtered sheep hanging from the beams, and half a fan of pork.

The weather in northern Xinjiang is cold, so hanging it here is safer than a refrigerator.

Ye Yuze held the knife and gestured for a while, but everything turned out to be as hard as a stone. He couldn't cut it.

Just when I was about to give up, I found a piece of pork ribs on top of the cupboard. It weighed about four or five pounds. Maybe it was cut off last time and not eaten.

Ye Yuze was overjoyed. Wouldn't it be delicious for a family of four to braise the pork ribs?

I took the ribs back to the house and soaked them in cold water to defrost them. I also took some potatoes and peeled them.

He found that people here don't like to peel potatoes when eating them. They just wash them and cut them.

I feel relieved when I think about the fact that no chemical fertilizers or pesticides are used in this era. At most, there is a little bit of soil, and people will be fine if they eat some soil.

Unlike later generations, even if you peel the skin off, the pesticide residue cannot be removed.

He still knows how to steam steamed buns. In that era, old noodles were used to ferment the noodles. It was much more delicious than the noodles fermented with baking powder and baking powder in later generations. It was so fragrant.

In addition, the wheat in Northern Xinjiang is inherently high in gluten, so the steamed buns are not only fluffy but also chewy.

But Ye Yuze didn't plan to steam the steamed buns today. He chopped the thawed frozen ribs into pieces, and then started looking for sugar.

After searching around and failing to find it, he asked his brother where the candy was at home.

The younger brother looked wary and told him with a serious expression.

"Why are you looking for candy? Mom won't let you eat it casually. You can only eat one piece in two days."

Ye Yuze shook his head as soon as he heard about it.

"I don't want sugar cubes. I want that white sugar for meat!"
