Chapter 42 Telephone
Generally, there are two ways to make grasshoppers in rural areas, one is to fry and the other is to fry.
To stir-fry grasshoppers, you pour the pickled grasshoppers together with the salt water from the pickled grasshoppers into a hot pan until the salt water is dried up and you can be taken out of the pan and put it on a plate. The grasshoppers made in this way are crispy and crispy.
Frying grasshoppers means taking out the pickled grasshopper from salt water, putting oil in a hot pan. After the oil is heated, pour the grasshopper into the oil pan and fry it until the grasshopper is fried to a dark red and then it can be taken out of the pan. Although the grasshoppers made in this way are not as crisp as the fried ones, they are fragrant. When eaten, they have a fragrance. If they have seeds in their stomachs, they will be even more fragrant.
Mrs. Liu is busy these days. She breaks the stick during the day and peels the stick at night, and eats out of order. Adults can stand this kind of life, but children can't do it. Xiao Baoer has been eating at Yang Ming's house these days.
After the couple had a busy meal, they brought the food to the table, put two drinks and two bottles of beer, the TV turned on, and dinner began like this.
After all, Zheng Baoer is still a child. When he sees delicious food, he has long thrown away all the unhappiness and scrambles with Wei Qingqing to compete with the few fried grasshoppers on the plate. Zheng Baoer is also what Yang Ming and his wife are willing to see. Children should be carefree and happy.
"You two leave some for me..." Yang Ming immediately stretched out his chopsticks to pick it up when he saw the grasshopper on the plate decreased rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Didn't you say that if you eat too much grasshopper, you will get mouth ulcers?"
"Who can care about that at present? Even if he has hemorrhoids, I will eat it."
Mouth sores? Hemorrhoids?
Wei Qingqing's eyes when she looked at Yang Ming changed. For the first time, she found that this person was so disgusting, but now she was having a meal.
Yang Ming finally grabbed a big grasshopper with a round belly and was about to stuff it into his mouth. Unexpectedly, Yang Ming was holding a grasshopper thigh. Not only did the fried grasshopper easily lose his legs, but even the live grasshopper could easily lose his legs. This big red and oily grasshopper fell on the kang table. Wei Qingqing quickly picked up her eyes and hands and ate it happily into her mouth.
You eat it and we will pick it up from the plate. But when Yang Ming looked at the plate again, there were only a bunch of grasshopper legs left in the plate. The little girl Zheng Baoer was chewing in her little mouth, and a grasshopper legs remained outside her little mouth.
"You... Taotie..." Yang Ming had no choice but to attack the other dishes.
"Hmph, who made you so disgusting?" Wei Qingqing proudly clutched the two big grasshoppers into Yang Ming's bowl with the smile of the winner.
"Hehe, uncle, what is hemorrhoids? Is oral sores also called hemorrhoids?" Zheng Baoer laughed and grabbed two big grasshoppers into Yang Ming's bowl.
It turned out that both of them had the habit of hiding food. Yang Ming felt depressed, but he was also a little warm. Whether it was his wife or Baoer, he was thinking about us in his heart.
Xiao Baoer's words made Wei Qingqing happy: "If we have mouth sores, it is called mouth sores. If your Uncle Yang has mouth sores, it is called hemorrhoids."
"Eat, after eating, you will develop hemorrhoids..." Yang Ming ate with his head down.
After dinner, Wei Qingqing and Zheng Baoer watched TV on the kang together. The mat had already been removed from the kang and replaced with a soft quilt. The big kang was so warm that it was lying on it or sitting on it, and there was a heater coming up.
Yang Ming cleaned up the table, poured the leftovers together, and took them out to feed the dogs. After this month, the puppies were almost half-grown. In addition, there were 18 spotted puppies, and there were 27 puppies running in the yard. Yang Ming had all planned to do it. When these puppies grew into half-grown, they would scatter them all on the mountain. At least, there must be dogs watching the hot spring pool and greenhouse.
As for the greenhouse, the seeds planted have now sprouted and have been drilled out. The seedlings are growing quite strong, but the weather is getting colder and you have to cover them with plastic cloth at night - otherwise, the seedlings can still withstand it, but the seedlings and the like should be frozen - but this job is a bit troublesome, and it has to be covered in one day. After two days of work, Yang Ming was a little overwhelmed and was already planning to hire a few people to help.
The usual irrigation water is actually the warm water that is drawn from the water outlet pipe of the hot spring pool. When soaking in the hot spring, you don’t need soap, shampoo, or the water that flows out is just right to use it again.
"There's a call...there's a call..." Yang Ming was packing up the kang table, and the cell phone on the kang started to ring.
Wei Qingqing picked up her phone and saw that it was Zhang Yingning's number, "It's Aunt Zhang's..."
Yang Ming hurriedly took it over and went to the outer room to answer the phone. Wei Qingqing took over and cleaned up the table.
"Aunt Zhang?" Yang Ming said.
"It's me, it's Xiao Yang, right?" Zhang Yingning's voice came from the receiver.
"It's me, have you had dinner?" A greeting with Chinese characteristics.
"I just ate it, where are you?"
"I just finished eating and was cleaning the table. Are you doing something?"
"It's nothing, isn't Mid-Autumn Festival coming soon? Auntie tells you about Happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance."
"Aunt Zhang, I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a reunion of your family."
"Xiao Yang, aunt told you, I have a little grandson. This little guy was born with a golden key in his mouth. He has never suffered any crime since he was a child. He has a coquettish body and often fights with the children in kindergarten. I have a headache. I heard you and Qingqing moved to a small mountain village. I wanted to take advantage of October 1st to let his mother take him to your place to live for a few days and let him get education..." Zhang Yingning said.
"This..." Yang Ming hesitated in his heart. He didn't want outsiders to come to his house.
"If you make things difficult, forget it."
"It's okay, it's okay, I just want to be married to Qingqing and I, I'm afraid I can't take care of them."
"Oh! So Xiao Yang got married on October 1st? You are really not a good person. You didn't treat your aunt as a friend. You don't even want to say anything about marriage if you get married." Zhang Yingning said angrily on the phone.
"Haha, my aunt runs a hotel. October 1st is a national holiday. It's a busy time. Why do I have the nerve to bother my aunt?"
"You are talking more and more disgusting. When you get married, no matter how big the aunt is, she has to make time to attend your wedding. Xiao Yang, has the place to hold the wine betting?"
"Not yet? We plan to get a loan at my hometown first, invite relatives and friends, and then get a loan at the city."
"October 1st, right? Let me tell you, my aunt has to attend both weddings. I must pick up my aunt at that time, otherwise I will never finish my aunt with you."
"Chengchengcheng, I will definitely ask you." Yang Ming said hurriedly.
"That's all for my grandson. If you take care of him, what kind of education would he have? He would definitely treat it as a traveler."
The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone. Yang Ming went straight into the inner room, threw the phone on the kang, and then took off his shoes and went to the kang.
"What do you say?" Wei Qingqing said.
"Aunt Zhang wanted her grandson to come to our house to experience the life of the mountain village on October 1st. Then I said, "When we got married on October 1st, she said she wanted to attend our wedding... I always feel that she is a little weird." Yang Ming said.
"There must be something in it." Wei Qingqing asserted.
"Why are you so sure?"
"Women's intuition..." Wei Qingqing threw a word and hugged Zheng Baoer. The two of them watched TV with relish.
