Chapter 22 Going to Hongxing Township

Luo Tiezhu is rolling on the ground?

roundworms?

Angioma??

Acute appendicitis???

Luo Xuan was puzzled, so he had to ask Xiao Cao to decide whether he should come forward to help him.

After all, no one else in the 6 production team understands medical science except myself.

If it's acute appendicitis, you have to find someone to use the door panel and carry Luo Tiezhu to the rural health center, otherwise he will really die!

Through Xiaocao's stumbling words, Luo Xuan finally understood: Luo Tiezhu is drunk!

Luo Tiezhu doesn't usually drink.

If he wanted to satisfy his craving, he would only skip meals a day in advance when there was a wedding or funeral in the production team, and then go to the banquet on an empty stomach.

It is said to be a banquet, but it actually means adding a little bit of meat and vegetables to the vegetables. For a table of 8 guests, the amount of meat in the dishes for a full table will not exceed 8 taels.

Only 1 tael of meat is spread out per person, which is just enough to fill the gap between teeth.

In the old rural areas.

Those rich peasants and small landowners who have a little money hold banquets at their homes, and they also pay attention to a 9-large bowl, 3 pounds 3.

To prepare a decent table of noodles, you need to have nine bowls of bean sprouts, braised pork belly, meatballs, pork belly, and sand-filled bowls.

In addition, 3 kilograms and 3 taels of meat are needed to make hard vegetables such as celery shreds and roasted pork with bamboo shoots.

But even small landowners have to prepare materials, save pork, and raise livestock and poultry several years in advance if they want to host such a banquet.

At that time, meat could not be stored, so small landowners had no choice but to marinate it and make it into bacon.

Or it can be filled into sausages for storage.

The reason why it is so difficult is to organize a good banquet...

In the vastness of the world, is there anything more important than "face"?

If such a banquet is successfully organized, the folks from all over the country will give a thumbs up and sincerely praise: "So-and-so is so particular! It's so pompous!"

This matter will be talked about by everyone for many years!

But only the host of the banquet understands the pain behind the scenery best: after one day of glory on the surface, you will have to eat chaffy vegetables and suffer for many years to fill this big hole...

Only they know how miserable it is.

It is now a new era.

The members actively responded to the call and advocated frugality in everything.

So now the production team's "mat" has only 8 taels of meat at most, and as little as half a catty.

When having a meal.

Everyone has to open their eyes wide and search carefully for the little piece of meat that is as thin as a piece of paper and as small as a fingernail among the piles of lettuce leaves and lettuce pieces.

Only at this time could Luo Tiezhu have the opportunity to drink a bowl of corn wine to satisfy his craving.

There was no banquet in the production team today, so Luo Tiezhu had no chance to drink.

Luo Tiezhu came back from work in the quarry in the evening. He looked left and right but didn't see Luo Xuan. Only then did he realize that there was only one person missing from his family!

When a hen is incubating eggs, she will squeak a few times when she sees that there are fewer eggs in the nest.

What's more, Luo Xuan is also Luo Tiezhu after all, and what about the child he adopted from his ex-wife Zhao Mei?

Luo Xuan was separated by the Wang family without his knowledge, and Luo Tiezhu was so angry that he was panting like an ox.

The veins on his neck are popping out like black earthworms!

Luo Tiezhu was so angry that he clenched and unclenched his fists, and then tightened them again!

"Dad, are you back?"

Just when Luo Tiezhu was about to explode, Xiaocao climbed over the high threshold and walked towards Luo Tiezhu.

She was shocked when she saw Luo Tiezhu's livid face, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

When Luo Tiezhu was disturbed by the grass, he was like a defeated rooster, his feathers suddenly shriveled up...

The helplessness of reality made Luo Tiezhu calm down and forced him to carefully consider his situation.

Defeat Wang... Luo Tiezhu, of course, cannot be beaten.

After beating away the Wang family, he is still in his prime, will he still marry in the future?

If you marry a woman again, your character will be guaranteed to be better than that of the Wang family?

Living in the countryside, it is difficult for people who are too weak to survive.

The women in the production team are each more aggressive than the other, and they are all driven by reality!

So Luo Tiezhu can't afford to gamble.

He didn't want to take the risk either.

Since Luo Tiezhu couldn't get angry at Wang, he had no choice but to torture himself, so he went to Dai Hongmei's house to borrow a pound of Baogu wine on credit. On the way back, Luo Tiezhu drank all the wine in one go.

Pour the corn wine on top.

With his heart pounding and a splitting headache, Luo Tiezhu got drunk and finally got into the courtyard of his home, whereupon he fell to the ground and started rolling!

Luo Tiezhu rolled away the joy that Wang had planned to celebrate this special day, and rolled it into the red sweet potato cellar.

Full of musty smell...

After listening to Xiaocao's narration, Luo Xuan lowered his head and remained silent.

"Duoduo, fuhu, confused!"

Xiaocao's reminder made Luo Xuan suddenly startled and he quickly took out the grilled fish from the stove.

Then he pulled the eel and the bamboo tube out of the hot firewood ashes. Luo Xuan picked up the big knife in the breeding room and split the bamboo tube.

Carefully uncovering the top half of the bamboo slices, a bamboo tube of white rice appeared in front of Luo Xuan and Xiao Cao.

The rice is fragrant.

Then put the peeled half of the bamboo tube in place, and Luo Xuan used two bamboo sticks to carefully scrape the grilled fish off the bamboo sticks.

This is enough for two people to eat at night.

Luo Xuan didn't have time to have dinner because of the family separation.

At this time, Luo Xuan, who was hungry, picked up two grilled golden eels and carefully patted the firewood ash on them.

Take out a little salt and chili powder, sprinkle it on top, and serve it as a pre-dinner snack for yourself and Xiaocao.

The eel is very small, and after being roasted, it is only about the size of a finger.

This kind of eel can't be sold for much money.

Raising it in space may take a long time. What Luo Xuan needs is cash, the kind of money that can be obtained immediately.

It's a bit funny to say that a poor boy who can't jingle a jingle is in urgent need of cash flow...

The eel has no aroma when cooked.

But when you tear off the meat from its backbone one by one, it's very delicious.

The meat is delicate but not lacking in chewiness. No wonder the wealthy people in the city like to eat garlic braised eel.

"Duoduo, you eat eggs. Don't bake eels for Xiaocao to eat and sell them for money."

Xiaocao was severely burned by the eel, and while breathing hot air from her mouth, she begged Luo Xuan that she could no longer use the precious eel to roast it for herself.

Luo Xuan smiled and did not explain too much to Xiaocao.

After dinner.

Luo Xuan sent Xiaocao home, and walked towards the breeding room under the moonlight amid Luo Tiezhu's wails coming from the house.

behind.

Luo Tiezhu's heartbreaking scream was heard: "I'm useless!"

"I'm not a man!"

"My life is so miserable!"

Luo Tiezhu's self-criticism was occasionally mixed with Wang's angry and urgent scolding: "You are screaming like a shovel! What man doesn't live like this?"

You idiot, you brought some wine back and didn’t know how to drink separately, wasting my 60 and 8 cents wine money!”

Returning to the breeding room, Luo Xuan found bamboo traps and fish baskets, lit a torch and continued to catch eels.

In about half a month, school will start.

When the time comes, I won’t have so much time, so Luo Xuan will have to seize the time to make money. It can be said that I have nothing in my “new home”.

Others are poor and can still live with no walls, but I am so poor that I don’t even have walls.

Luo Xuan gritted his teeth and persisted, catching eels all night until the sky was dim, then he packed up his things and rushed to the location of Hongxing Township.

There is no market in Hongxing Township today.

Moreover, the Frog Market is not open today. Luo Xuan went to the countryside this time and needed to buy something back.

Today, team leader Peng Zhikun will organize several women from the production team to build a bamboo shed for him, and Luo Xuan will go buy some meat and take it back to entertain those who come to help.

Arrive at the countryside.

Luo Xuan first ran to the door of the "Catering Service Club", called Fatty Gu out, and asked him if he would accept eels?

"If you don't go to the market today or catch frogs today, why do you think of coming to me to buy eels?"

The "catching frogs" in Fatty Gu's mouth refers to the frog market, which is like underground work, and many things are replaced by secret codes.

Pulling Luo Xuan aside, Fatty Gu lowered his voice and asked, "How many do you have?"

In the past two days, Luo Xuan has been very hard at eel fishing. Basically, he was either fishing for eels or on his way to catch eels during the whole day.

At night, Luo Xuan would seize any spare time and try his best to catch eels everywhere.

Therefore, Luo Xuan still has a lot of stuff on hand.

"Probably around 10 pounds."

Luo Xuan replied: "There are two sizes, one is 3 taels to 5 taels, which may weigh 7 or 8 kilograms. The rest are all eels weighing more than half a kilogram."

Fatty Gu touched his double chin and muttered the bid: "For the smaller one, I'll give you 2.6 cents per pound, and for the big one, I'll give you 3 cents. How about it?"

When Luo Xuan heard this, he turned around and left!

As expected, the dog that was summoned did not eat shit.

Luo Xuan took the initiative to come to Fatty Gu to buy his own eels, knowing that he would lower the price.

But I didn’t expect this fat guy to lower the price so hard!
