"Why are you thinking about digging up the ground? The sun is so big."
Wang Fang came back and saw Zhang An plowing the vegetable field and said.
"What's the point? I'm idle anyway. You and your dad are still working in the fields despite the sun. I'm still a rural person after studying for several years. Besides, I didn't pass the exam."
I got a basin of water to wash my parents and said, "Mom, I'm going to take a shower in the river, my body is all covered in sweat."
After saying that, I picked up a short-sleeved shirt and went out.
"Just stay on the riverbank, don't run into deep places, do you hear me?" My mother's warning came from my ears.
"Okay, I understand, I just wash it casually."
In hot weather, although the river water has been exposed to the sun for a day, it is still at room temperature due to its flow.
He took off his short sleeves, put on his big pants and dived into the river.
In fact, Changqing's children grew up near the water, and everyone has good water skills. However, for some unknown reason, someone drowns in this river every year, which casts a shadow on everyone in the village.
Especially in the mountains, people are still superstitious about ghosts and gods.
Zhang An didn't believe it before, but now Zhang An begins to believe it. After all, he has traveled through time, and there is a big treasure in his mind. If you don't believe this thing, how did it come about?
No matter what, I would rather believe that it exists than that it does not exist.
There was a saying in my previous life that the end of science is metaphysics. There are some things that science cannot explain at all.
Zhang An suddenly felt comfortable after soaking in the water.
After feeling almost recovered, Zhang An didn't want to go home wearing wet underpants, so he found a big rock and changed out of his underpants. He only wore the outer cropped pants and went home in neutral.
Zhang An took the initiative to help his mother make dinner. Today, my parents dug some ear root from the mountain.
This is Zhang An's favorite thing. Whether stir-fried, cold or used as an ingredient, it is a wild vegetable that local people often eat.
Although the roots of the folded ears are not as tender now as they were in March and April, after Zhang An picked and pinched off the old ones, only the crisp and tender parts were left.
"Mom, why don't you make some bacon and fry it tonight? I haven't eaten bacon for a long time." Zhang An's favorite is fried bacon with folded ears.
"You're just greedy. Let me cut off a piece and wash it." Although he said Zhang An was greedy, Wang Fang didn't say anything because his son wanted to eat meat. He only had one child at home and had to work hard all day.
For him.
Soon, Wang Fang cut out a small piece of bacon from the cabinet, which weighed about a pound.
These meats are all from home-raised pigs and are much more delicious than the feed pigs from later pig farms.
Don’t you know how many people in later generations said that the pork at that time had no flavor at all?
One of the reasons for this problem is the problem of pig breeds, and the other is the problem of feed.
Pork that has been fed with feed originally has more water content. Many butchers add water to the pork after purchasing it and then sell it to others. How can such meat be delicious?
Put a small knife of bacon on the fire to burn the skin, then pour hot water and start scraping it clean.
After a lot of effort, the bacon that was originally smoked black by firewood was washed golden.
Put the washed bacon into a pot and cook it before taking it out and slicing it. You can smell the aroma wafting around when you just cut it.
While Wang Fang was cutting the meat, Zhang An reached out and grabbed two pieces and put them in his mouth, causing Wang Fang to laugh and curse.
Not long after, the food was ready.
Boil cabbage in boiling water and dip it in chili pepper water, stir-fry bacon with folded ear roots, and roast chili peppers that you eat every day in July and August.
The family of three had a delicious meal.
I didn’t dare to cook too many dishes because the weather was too hot and my home didn’t have a refrigerator like in later generations. If I cooked too much, it would go rancid easily.
At night, Zhang An, who was lying in bed, waited until Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang turned off the lights and went to sleep, then entered the space to check the situation in the space.
Cherries and peaches are already ripe. Cherries are relatively expensive products among local fruits. When they first come on the market, they can be sold for five or six yuan per catty. Even in the mature stage, they can be sold for two yuan per catty.
So this is also the reason why every household in rural areas has cherry trees planted in their yards, because they want to eat them, but they are too expensive and cannot afford them.
Local cherries are not very big, with a mature diameter of only about one centimeter.
But because they grow in space, the cherries on the trees are now about the size of pigeon eggs.
Zhang An picked a few and put them in his mouth. Because they were too big, he could only eat one at a time.
As soon as I put it in my mouth, a sweet and refreshing taste bloomed from the tip of my tongue. It tasted thin in skin and tender in texture, no less beautiful than the beautiful Guoda cherries of later generations, and its pit was very small.
After eating, I wanted to eat more. After eating several peaches in a row, Zhang An stopped because the peaches next to him were not bad, each one was as big as the mouth of a bowl.
You must know that this is a local plum peach, not a flat peach that can grow to a very large size.
The flesh of the fruit was wrapped in pink skin. Zhang An picked one, but because there were many short hairs on the outside, Zhang An took it to the pond and washed it before eating it.
As soon as you bite into it, your mouth will be filled with the deliciousness of the pulp and juice. The pulp is very soft and it doesn't take much effort to eat. It should be a male peach. Female peaches generally have crisper and harder flesh, so they are not suitable for the elderly and children.
Even though the food is good, it is not easy to be greedy for too much. Eating is delicious, but eating too much can easily cause you to get angry.
After eating a peach, Zhang An actually felt a little full. Although he was very greedy, Zhang An still held it back.
When we got to the nearby pool, the large pool was already full of fine-scaled fish. We hadn’t seen them for a few days, and the largest ones in the pool weighed almost four or five kilograms. But most of them were small fry.
There were also a lot of grass carp, and some of them were moved here at that time, but because there were fishes preying on them, the pond was not as crowded as before.
After leaving the space, Zhang An lay on his pillow and thought about how to get rid of these cherries and fruits. Fortunately, as long as he didn't let them rot in the space, they would stay fresh and he didn't have to worry about time.
In the middle of the night, Zhang An, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a loud noise. The villagers seemed to be shouting something.
During this time period, if nothing major happens, it will definitely not cause such a fuss.
Just when Zhang An got up and opened the door, his father Zhang Jianguo also got up and was opening the main door.
When I walked to the road, I saw villagers chasing something with flashlights.
"Uncle, what's going on?" Dad asked the old man who came behind him. This was Mr. Li, the neighbor next door to Zhang An's house. Zhang An had to call him uncle.
"Li Heping's house at the back of the village was just entered by a gang of robbers. His family was so sleepy that the pen door was opened and the cows were led to the door. If Mr. Zhang hadn't happened to get up at night and saw
, just wake the people up, now the cows have been led away." A group of young people were chasing in front, so Mr. Li explained to Zhang An and his son.
At that moment, Zhang Jianguo caught up with him with a flashlight and asked Zhang An to close the door to his home.
Zhang An turned around to close the door and saw that his mother Wang Fang had already gotten up. Because he was worried about his father, after saying a few words to his mother, he grabbed a wooden stick under the eaves and went out to chase after him.
