Chapter 62 Want to trade rice for roast chicken

"Okay, you guys, stop talking nonsense and come here to help!" Jiang Qingshan moved firewood from the woodshed to the yard.

After hearing this, his sons hurried forward to move firewood together, and then picked up some stones and piled them beside the firewood.

After the fire burned, they placed the big eagle on the fire.

"Chaozi, you and Sihaizi are turning the chicken, not the eagle," Jiang Qingshan directed, "turn in one direction, not too fast, not too slow."

"Okay!" Wu Chaozi took one end of the wooden stick and twirled it, "By the way, this plucked eagle looks similar to a chicken, but it's a little bigger."

His father laughed and said, "Is this bigger? A chicken weighing three to five pounds is considered very big. This eagle probably weighs around twenty pounds."

"It's so big! Look at these wings..."

Everyone could not help but walk beside the fire and watch the roasting eagle.

Erhuazi seemed to have thought of something and turned around and asked: "Brother, if this eagle really weighs twenty kilograms, how many kilograms do you think each of us can eat on average?"

"Average?" Dadongzi thought for a while, "About two pounds and four ounces."

"How much is two pounds and four ounces?" Erhuazi asked.

"About four, two, four, five, what's up?"

After Dadongzi asked doubtfully, his second brother smiled and said: "Brother, I know you are good at counting, so you go and be a scorekeeper!"

As soon as he said this, the whole family looked in the direction of him and Dadongzi. Among them, Jiang Qingshan couldn't help but ask: "Erhuazi, what did you just say?"

"I recommend my eldest brother to be a scorekeeper. He used to study well, but how fast did he count just now? He is definitely suitable to be a scorekeeper!"

After listening to his second brother's words, Sanleizi sighed: "That's right! The eldest brother is suitable to be the scorekeeper. The eldest brother is a graduate of junior high school!"

Dadongzi smiled and said: "You think you can be a scorekeeper if you are good at math?"

"What else? Instead of choosing someone who is good at numeracy like you, why should we choose those illiterate people who can't do numeracy? There are not many people in our village who have graduated from primary school. Most of them only went to junior primary school and then didn't go to school. Many people even

I haven’t even graduated from junior high school.”

Shen Su'e nodded and said: "That's true. In terms of academic performance, your eldest brother is one of the best in our village. He scored full marks in mathematics in the entrance examination!"

After saying that, she sighed helplessly, "Hey! Our family doesn't know how to make relationships, otherwise Dadongzi could be an accountant, let alone a scorekeeper!"

"Voting depends on connections," Da Dongzi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't have this idea, no one will choose me."

For a while, except for Wu Chaozi who remained silent, his other brothers all supported their eldest brother to become a scorekeeper. "Anyway, as long as the eldest brother is willing to stand on the stage and read the speech, I will definitely vote for the eldest brother."

Sihaizi pushed his fifth brother, "Chaozi, can you say something?"

"What do you want me to say?" Wu Chaozi snorted and said while turning the roasted eagle, "I don't think he has the guts to stand on the stage."

"Chaozi, you have already put away your bow, why are you still angry with your elder brother?" Sihaizi said, "If my elder brother can really be a scorekeeper, we don't have to worry about our work points being deducted indiscriminately, right? My elder brother is more brave than that uncle.

It’s much fairer.”

Wu Chaozi picked up the iron pliers and stirred the firewood, "I'm not angry, I just think he doesn't have the guts to come to power, and he's not very popular in the village. Even if our whole family votes for him, the total will only be ten

What's the use of voting?"

As soon as he finished speaking, little Lingbao beside him said softly: "Although I don't understand what a scorer is, Lingbao thinks that big brother is very brave!"

"Lingbao, don't be deceived by him. If he was brave, why didn't he go up the mountain to find us that day? Aren't he just afraid of being eaten by wolves?" Wu Chaozi was worried, "Either he is a coward, or he is careless. You have no lungs and will not save you until you die!"

"I know it's too late to say anything now," Dadongzi said, "but if Chaozi, you and Lingbao disappear again one night, I will definitely go into the mountains to look for you as soon as possible. Also, I will not come back again in the future. I drove you away for some sweet potatoes."

Wu Chaozi made a sound, "Who believes it?"

After saying that, he added: "I don't care about your sweet potatoes anymore. You and your sister-in-law still have tree roots. Let's eat those broken sweet potatoes slowly!"

His third brother patted his head and said, "Okay, stop making trouble!"

"I'm not telling you, Lao Wu is really a child," Jiang Qingshan said with a smile to his wife, "But I quite like his character. If he has anything in his heart that he doesn't like, he will speak it out directly and won't hide it. .”

"His personality is just too straightforward, and whatever is on his mind is shown on his face."

After Shen Su'e finished speaking, she asked her eldest son: "Dongzi, what do you think? If you want to be the scorekeeper, your father and I will talk to the neighbors and ask them to help. Give you a vote."

"There is no need to canvass for votes. I will prepare a speech and talk about what I will do if I become a scorekeeper. If others believe me, they will vote for me."

Erhuazi listened to his elder brother's words and said with a smile: "It means that you have decided to run for the scorekeeper, right?"

"Well, let's give it a try," Dadongzi said, "for myself and for you, so as not to elect someone like Uncle Dayong again in the future, who is always manipulating work points and thinking of ways to let our family send gifts Things, bullying us."

When he said this, the eagle's skin had turned slightly yellow, and it exuded bursts of alluring fragrance, making people unable to help but breathe in the air.

"Oh, it smells so good! It smells like roasted chicken!"

Fugui shook his father's hand, "Dad, let's eat roast chicken..."

"This is an eagle, not a chicken, and it hasn't been roasted yet. It's probably going to take another half an hour for such a big one to be roasted. Just wait."

Lingbao saw his father, mother and brothers all swallowing their saliva, hoping that the roasted eagle would heal quickly, so he used spiritual energy to keep the temperature in the eagle's body rising.

After a while, the aroma of barbecue became stronger.

People living near Jiang's house began to inhale, "What does it smell like?"

"The Jiang family is eating something good, right?" The Lin family tried their best to ask relatives to buy some rice. It had just been cooked and it felt like the rice had become less fragrant.

Hearing Daya crying and asking for meat, Liu Damei coaxed her for a long time.

"What are the Jiang family eating?" Old Mrs. Lin asked, "Da Ya Niang, don't you have a good relationship with the second daughter-in-law of the Jiang family? Did she tell you?"

"Why would she tell me? They have separated a long time ago, so whatever good food the Jiang family eats has nothing to do with her Huang Yuezhu." Liu Damei said.

"The family is divided, but that Erhuazi is Jiang Qingshan's son after all, so he probably can still get some good food," Mrs. Lin said, and took a few more breaths, "I smell like roast chicken. They are Didn’t you go into the mountains and catch pheasants?”

Now even her son couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Mom, how about I bring some rice to trade with them for chicken? Do you think they will agree?"
