Chapter 9 Preparation,

Zhang Shanhai naturally couldn't figure out why he slept in the attic all day, but when he woke up now, nothing was abnormal at all.

In the evening, I ate two large bowls of rice, washed my feet, listened to He Ni telling a story, climbed into bed again, and soon fell asleep again.

Zhang Yunyang and his wife finally felt relieved when they saw that there was nothing unusual about their son.

The next day, Zhang Shanhai got up in the morning and went to the mountains to herd cattle. But he suddenly felt that there was an extra memory in his head. The contents of the worn book he read yesterday seemed to be printed in his head. The patterns in the book,

He can remember it clearly.

Zhang Shanhai naturally does not wonder why he remembers it so clearly, but finds the content interesting. When I saw it yesterday, I didn't quite understand what was going on in the picture. But today it seems like I already knew it.

It is a ritual. If an onmyoji wants to communicate with yin and yang, he or she must ask a god to come to his body, and then he can know the cause and effect and resolve the disaster. Or he can ask a god to come to his body and instantly possess the power to subdue demons.

"Hey, it's interesting." Zhang Shanhai immediately had the urge to try, but he couldn't do it now. The ritual of inviting gods requires some basic conditions. Burning incense and setting up an incense table. These are the most basic conditions. In addition, it also needs to say

Talisman. Among them, the condition of Tao Talisman is the most difficult to satisfy.

Because this talisman requires good yellow paper, and the paint used to draw the talisman is also specially made. The basic raw materials are mainly cinnabar, animal blood, etc. Zhang Shanhai doesn’t even know what cinnabar is, and the animal blood is even more

It's rare. These days, a village can't kill a few chickens or pigs all year round. Where can one get blood from animals and poultry?

That's right! Zhang Shanhai's eyes suddenly lit up. These things are very difficult for him, but there must be no problem with Zhang Jingxian. Zhang Jingxian is a Feng Shui master in the village, so his home must be equipped with these things. Zhang Shanhai has seen it with his own eyes.

Zhang Jing first drew the talisman.

Zhang Shanhai immediately thought that Zhang Daneng's family promised to give him a red envelope two days ago, and Zhang Jingxian also agreed. This time, he went to Zhang Jingxian's house. It would be best if he could get the red envelope. At that time, he would have money to buy chili candies.

.Zhang Shanhai is very greedy for the paper-wrapped candies in the supply and marketing cooperative, especially the fruit candies made into red peppers. When he eats them, the sweetness in his mouth makes Zhang Shanhai want to drool just thinking about it.

If you don't want to return the red envelope, just ask him for what you need. After all, you can't leave empty-handed, right? Thinking of this, Zhang Shanhai completely forgot how scary Zhang Jingxian was in the village, especially in the eyes of children. At this time, Zhang Shanhai

In Shan Hai's eyes, Zhang Jingxian was like a big paper bag of candy.

Zhang Bo was surprised to see Zhang Shanhai looking depressed that day.

"Shan Hai, what are you doing? You look gloomy all morning? Let's go, Wenxing and the others are roasting sweet potatoes there! We went to see someone last night, and our stomachs were already empty. Let's go and eat roasted sweet potatoes!" Zhang Wenxing said.

There are several sweet potato fields owned by the production team at the foot of the mountain. The people in the production team are working outside and are hungry. Going to the fields to dig out a few sweet potatoes to satisfy their hunger is not considered poaching. There is a boy who herds cattle.

Sometimes I would dig a few in the fields. There was not much food at home, and I could only eat 70% of the food at each meal, which was indeed a pain for the growing children.

Zhang Shanhai ate two poached eggs and a large bowl of rice last night. He was not very hungry at this time, but when he talked about eating roasted sweet potatoes, he seemed to smell the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes. His stomach immediately rumbled.

Cooed twice.

Roasting sweet potatoes over firewood requires a lot of skill. You cannot bake them directly over an open fire, otherwise the skin will easily burn, but the sweet potatoes will still be half-cooked. You have to pile the sweet potatoes with firewood ashes and use the heat of the firewood pile to heat them indirectly, and bake them like this.

There is no damage to the cooked sweet potatoes at all. At most, the outermost skin is browned. Not only is the flavor not affected, but it is even sweeter.

When Zhang Shanhai walked over, several earth stoves were already burning there. Zhang Zeng brought a small hoe. The boys in the countryside were very good at opening stoves on the piles of earth. They did it in a decent manner.

"How many have been dug?" Zhang Shanhai asked.

"Don't worry, I dug a lot. Two or three per person will be no problem. I'm full. I just dug a big area of ​​​​the sweet potato field." Zhang Zeng said.

Not much fertilizer has been applied to the soil, and the fertility of the ground at the foot of the mountain is not very good. The soil is also a little compact. It is good to have two or three sweet potatoes for one sweet potato. These seven or eight people must dig at least ten sweet potatoes.

Naturally, it looks like a small piece.

"You idiot, why are you so stubborn? Don't you know how to dig one or two stalks in one place? If the brigade came over to check, wouldn't they see it at a glance?" Zhang Shanhai rolled his eyes.

"It's okay. This land on the mountain and that land are not affected by rats, rabbits or the like? We haven't done as much damage as those animals." Zhang Zeng said.

"Damn it, if you want to compete with the beasts, don't drag us along." Zhang Bo cursed.

Everyone laughed.

Roasting sweet potatoes requires some effort. If you are impatient, you can turn them over three times and you will definitely get a half-cooked one. Roasting sweet potatoes requires patience. You have to take your time in this mountain.

, it will take at least half an hour to roast the sweet potatoes.

Thanks to the patience of these children, they were able to wait patiently for the sweet potatoes to be ripe before digging them out of the ashes.

Zhang Shanhai took a sweet potato, put it between his hands, and patted it cleanly to remove the ash stuck on it. Then he peeled off the outer layer of skin, immediately revealing the bright red potato with a rich sweet potato fragrance.

Here comes the sweet potato meat.

All the children were reluctant to eat the sweet potato meat on the opposite side first. They ate the sweet potatoes stuck to the skin first, and even ate the gray skin directly. They all ate it with gusto and seemed to be eating it.

What an incredibly delicious delicacy.

After eating three sweet potatoes, each one's belly is bulging.

“So full!”

"If you catch a hare and roast it, it will be more delicious." Zhang Bo said.

These days, it is really not easy to have a full meal. Eating meat is even more rare. Children like to visit relatives the most, because when they are guests, not only can they be full, but they can also eat some meat!

"If you can raise a mountain dog from the Lao Qi family, that's pretty much it." Zhang Shanhai said.

Zhang Laoqi is the only hunter in Zhangjiashan. He is a veteran and has a shell gun in his home. It is said that he fought with the Japs and this was his trophy. After the battle, this bastard refused to stay any longer.

The troops went directly back home. The troops treated him specially and allowed him to bring back his trophies. He couldn't bear to use this gun for hunting. When he took it out to look at, he had to wipe it clean, oil it and hide it.

.He hunts with his hunting rifle and with the hunting dogs he raises.

Zhang Laoqi raised two mountain dogs, a male and a female. These two dogs were so fierce that all the dogs in the village had to give way when they saw these two dogs.
