Chapter 15 Natural Stone Beds
While listening to them chatting, Long Jianhua drank and ate large pieces of meat. He was fat and thin.
Chen Lisheng went out to sell meat from time to time. As for borrowing money from the team, he didn't mention it later, but just discussed with them how to plan to find medicinal materials in the future.
Slowly, their thinking began to become clear. Some women stepped on fields at home, flipping sweet potatoes, and the rest went to the back of the mountain to find medicinal materials. There were primitive secondary forests, which were boundless and large, and there should be many.
After eating, Long Jianhua came under the eaves and saw Chen Lisheng's four children each sitting in the kitchen with a bowl of pig blood. In the corner of the wall, there was a pile of Houttuynia cordata.
Chen Daniu, who came out, looked up and said, "It seems that there is no rain in the beginning of autumn..."
Chen Lishi immediately continued, "Twenty-four autumn tigers, so sad."
Chen Lisheng shouted, "Jianhua, where do you want?"
Long Jianhua walked to the door panel and said, "As long as there is oil, I will go to school everywhere if I have pork belly, so I will sell some oil for me."
"I'd better give you a one-size-fits-all... three ribs or five? If you have too many, you won't have a place to put them."
"Not half left, is that OK?"
"With money, there is nothing wrong with it. Now I kill pigs, and in a while, others will kill pigs and they will return them."
"Then let's get five yuan. Brother Lisheng, is there any jar at home?"
"There's no! There's not much that thing."
There is no jar, so it seems that I have to buy it myself.
Chen Lisheng cut off five pieces of ribs and hung them on the scale to weigh them, twelve pounds and six taels, five pounds and sixty cents, and confirmed the numbers recorded on the cannon paper to Long Jianhua.
He is still very rigorous in his work...
Long Jianhua quickly returned home with his flesh, hung it on the wall, and then quickly flipped over the Wei Lingxian.
At the gathering place, Chen Daniu arranged his work:
In the morning, fifteen elite male laborers in the team went to hand over the public grain, and Chen Daniu led the team. Team 9 had twenty-three acres of paddy fields, and they had to pay 2,300 kilograms; now they harvested early rice, and they paid half of them first. The rest continued to pull Houttuynia cordata along yesterday's route, and Chen Lisheng led the team.
In the afternoon, Chen Lisheng and Wang Yuhua took people to sell Houttuynia cordata, while the rest continued to pull Houttuynia cordata and isatis root.
Yesterday afternoon, each person only went back and forth twice, and the distance was not very long.
Following yesterday's position, the group continued to advance. When they moved forward the second time, there were only Houttuynia cordata on both sides of the river, and the isatis roots were very sparse.
Some people walk in the river, while others walk along the river bank.
Shortly after entering a gentle river, Wang Yuhua laughed loudly, "Hey, come and have a look. A stone bed here, just put on straw, is better than the wooden bed at home."
Pan Guang'e smiled and said, "You won't shake it creak, right? That's because you two have too much force and will sooner or later shake the bed apart."
Wang Yuhua laughed and scolded, "Pan Guang'e, I didn't expect you to be so bad. Could it be that you two did the work on the ground in order not to break the bed? You know, the ground will also crack. When the ground breaks, the house will break, and more people will go."
When they heard the two of them quarrel like this, the others laughed and got together, and listened to the two of them talking dirty jokes and smiling at the stone bed by the river.
Long Jianhua also squeezed into the crowd to watch the stone bed. The stone was a whole piece of bluestone, which looked three inches above the water, as if it had grown from the embankment; it was very flat on the top and was slanted into the water below. It was five feet long and three feet wide, and one foot wide at the upper end. On the embankment, there happened to be a clump of shrubs that stretched out completely covered with bluestone, which could shade the sun. If you really lie here, listening to the river water with only a slight sound is a wonderful enjoyment.
Zou Shuxian pointed to the stone bed, "There is a fish there. I'm so brave to see so many of us that we don't run away."
A four-inch-long fish was hidden under the stone bed, its mouth was opened and closed, its tail kept swinging, and its eyes were still moving. At the bottom of the water, there were several snails.
"Snails, isn't it just a snail of this kind?"
Long Jianhua was like discovering a new world. This is another kind of meat food.
Pan Guang'e squatted down and grabbed the fish in the water with both hands; she saw its tail swing and disappeared.
Everyone laughed, laughing at her overestimating her abilities and trying to catch fish with empty hands.
Everyone sat on the stone bed and started working. Long Jianhua really lay down on it and experienced it. Except for the cool ones, they were hard and not comfortable... They should be done with a layer of straw.
After walking through this flat river, you can see the production team in front of you. The group did not move forward and turned home. After turning over the Houttuynia cordata and isatis roots from yesterday, and also turning over the first time today, Chen Lisheng announced that he would finish work.
Long Jianhua ate so much meat and pig blood for two nights in the morning, and drank a glass of sweet wine. He was not hungry yet.
After returning home, he looked at the messy Wei Lingxian in the ground, "I should have done it."
I went to the floor and tried to choose the ones that were absolutely dry and selected; there were a lot of them, but they were all of them in comparison.
Try a bundle and try the weight, then tie a bundle of about the same weight, and carry it to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Whether life can be improved is just a hit.
Long Jianhua is closer to the entrance of the canyon than other residents in the team, because he can go straight down the ridge without turning left and right in the terraces.
The first time in life is worth looking forward to, especially Long Jianhua's current situation. So he carried a load of Houttuynia cordata and changed his shoulders when he arrived at the canyon. Then he walked all the way, without feeling uncomfortable on his shoulders and unable to support his body. When he entered the supply and marketing cooperative, he felt his mouth a little dry and his legs trembled.
The supply and marketing cooperative is a large house three meters long and two meters wide, separated by a group of L-shaped counters in the middle. There are shelves in front of the wall opposite the door, and there are jars and jars and jars on the right; there is a door on the left, which is the purchased item warehouse.
When he walked into the gate, there was no one inside. He put the Wei Lingxian on the ground and approached the counter, he saw a young fat man lying on a bamboo lounge chair with his eyes closed. He had not noticed his arrival. He was resigned to Wei Lingxian and coughed twice without any seriousness.
The fat man sat up from the recliner, rubbed his eyes, "What do you buy?"
Long Jianhua cleared his throat, "Comrade, I want to sell Wei Lingxian, how much does it cost per pound?"
"Qi Mao Liu." The fat man stood up slowly with expressionless expression, raised his right hand and pointed to the door on the left, "Get it there to weigh it."
Seeing him reaching out to pick up a bunch of medicine spoons on the shelf and moving forward, Long Jianhua took on his courage again and slowly synchronized with him. There was only one voice in his heart, seven thousand six!
Walking behind the wall, the fat man opened the counter baffle and walked along the wall toward the door, "Did you do it?"
"You can check it out at will."
"Of course I have to check it out. I won't let you take advantage of the situation and use inferior products as good people. Now some people want to take advantage of the country..."
Long Jianhua carried the load and could only nod his head timidly. This distance of less than two feet was slower than walking more than five miles just now.
