Chapter 28 Pasties and Boars

  Wen Youshan pondered: "Wild boars are rare, so I\'ll get the things to the county for a little more money, and then I\'ll buy meat for you when I have the money, okay?"

   A few madmen nodded, they didn\'t care what kind of meat they ate, as long as it was meat.

Wen Youshan was instantly happy, and said to Chen Ningya, "The weather is hot, and I can\'t help but put things away. I\'ll go to the village to borrow a scooter, and I\'ll set off now. I guess I\'ll have to travel at night. It may be dawn when I get there. I’ll come back after I’ve sold my stuff, I guess I’ll be home tomorrow evening.”

  Chen Ningya felt a little distressed, "You can\'t rest in this way? How can your body tolerate it?"

   "It doesn\'t get in the way, it\'s more realistic to deal with this thing." Wen Youshan said indifferently, how can the peasant family pay so much attention, he can bear it no matter how tired he is when he has money.

Chen Ningya couldn\'t, so she nodded silently, and took advantage of Wen Youshan\'s time to go to the village to make a fire and put a few cakes for him. The ingredients at home were limited. In order to make Wen Youshan eat as well as possible, Chen Ningya asked Wen Yuanliang and Wen Yuanzhen to help. Let them peel the shrimp and beat the eggs, then go outside the yard and pull out a handful of wild onions and some tender wild vegetables, chop them up and mix them in, add some salt and stir for a few times.

Oil noodles are expensive things, and the Wen family has not yet reached the level of eating as much as they want. The noodles they use are rough noodles, and the oil can only be rubbed with vegetable leaves and some oil in the pot, as long as it does not stick to the pot. Just do it.

  As the cakes were slowly cooked, bursts of aroma permeated the yard, and several children couldn\'t sit still. Even the youngest Wen Yuanxing babbled on the stool, drooling all over the floor.

  Chen Ningya just found it funny and sad, she just said hurriedly: "You guys go out to play first, I\'ll give you some early adopters later."

   "Oh! It\'s time for an early adopter!" Wen Yuanliang was so happy that he hugged Wen Yuanhong from the creek nest, and the two brothers went out of the stove quarreling. Wen Yuanzhen continued to stay to help make the fire, and Wen Youshan came back after a while.

   As soon as he entered the yard, he sniffed his nose and asked in surprise, "What kind of delicious food did your mother make? It\'s so fragrant!"

   "Father, it\'s a cake, my mother posted a cake." Wen Yuanhong replied loudly, and the clear and pleasant voice made people feel a little bit happy in their hearts.

When Chen Ningya heard the news, she hurriedly put the pasted cakes in a basket and handed them over to Wen Youshan, "I have pasted six cakes for you, enough for you to eat the county seat, and this bamboo tube with boiling water, be careful, don\'t hot."

Wen Youshan took a look at the cloth cover, and the aroma that rushed to his face made several children salivate. He wanted to take one to give the children a point, but Chen Ningya stopped him, "Don\'t worry about them, stove. There is still in the house, I will never starve my children, you can go out with confidence, you can\'t see the road clearly in the dark, I also prepared a few firewood for you, you can burn it and use it as a torch."

   Chen Ningya rambled a lot, Wen Youshan only felt warm in his heart, and when Chen Ningya explained it completely, he pushed the wild boar that weighed two or three hundred kilograms away.

   At this time, the sky is full of sunshine. If you can watch the sunset by the sea, but this is a village surrounded by mountains, and the light is not enough. The villagers have already packed up their tools and went home to eat.

  Wen Youshan did not swagger through the village after going down the mountain, but took a less populated path.

Chen Ningya just stood at the door of the house and stared deeply. She didn\'t turn around until Wen Youshan turned into a black spot and disappeared from sight. She used the rest of the batter to paste a small size pancake for the children, to ensure that everyone They were all able to get a piece, and they cooked some gruel, which finally made them smile.

   "Mother, can we eat pancakes every day? I don\'t like porridge, pancakes are better." Wen Yuanhong looked at Chen Ningya innocently.

   Before he could finish speaking, Wen Yuanliang tapped his head, "Don\'t you think your mother doesn\'t know? You\'re still full of cakes, but noodles are more expensive than rice. Our family can eat it once in a while, how can we eat it every day."

Chen Ningya was amused by Wen Yuanliang\'s pretending to be an old man, but she felt more and more sorry for them. She had also come here in the past ten years. Now her child is so happy because of a piece of rough bread without oil and water, let her say something.

  No matter what she thought, Chen Ningya always had a smile on her face, making it impossible to see anything.

The mother and daughter happily ate dinner. Before entering the house, the children were chatting about how much meat Wen Youshan could bring back tomorrow. .

Besides, on Wen Youshan\'s side, he managed to push the wild boar out of the village to avoid the sight of the villagers. As a result, the detour took a lot of time. It was dark when he got to the town, and he wanted to change to a donkey cart. The departure of the class, this is good, we can only walk.

When he arrived at the county town after all the hard work, he found that the city gate was quiet. Due to the remoteness of Qing\'an County, although the city gate will be closed when the time comes, it will not be locked. Occasionally, people still come in and out, so just give some money to the soldiers guarding the gate. .

Wen Youshan didn\'t know it, he sat under the city wall and was so tired that he was out of breath. He first took a sip of water and then took out the pancake that Chen Ningya had given. Although the skin was already cool, the inside was still warm and dry. Chew more fragrant.

   When he was almost ready to squint after eating, he suddenly heard a creaking of the city gate, and after a while, a pair of master and servant came out of the city on horseback.

Wen Youshan was shocked. He stood up and stared at them. After a while, another man dressed as a ox-cart was preparing to enter the city from outside the city. In the dark, he couldn\'t see anything. As soon as the copper plates hit the sound, the official took the money and let him go. This time, he was also a little moved. Taking advantage of Xiao Er\'s entry, he ran over immediately, and asked the official to please: "Sir, how much does it cost to go in?"

   "Oh! I saw you sitting under the wall for a long time, I thought you were going to sit for the night!" The soldier sneered with the copper plate in his hand, "You don\'t look like you are rich, what are you going to do in there?"

"I just want to go in and sell some game. You know it\'s hot and you can\'t help but put things away. Our village is far away. It\'s too late to get here from the village. Sir, how much do you need to pay to go in?" Wen Youshan His heart was beating like a drum, and he was uneasy. He had already thought about it. If it was too expensive, he would spend the night outside and wait until tomorrow morning.

The    soldier looked at him again and said casually: "Well, you give ten pennies, and I\'ll let you in."

   Ten pennies is not a small amount for the poor. You must know that you can earn ten pennies a day when you go out to work part-time these days.

  Wen Youshan was very distressed, but he wanted to go in and try his luck. In case the restaurant was not closed at the moment, he could sell it for a few more money, and he would be able to pay ten cents.

   After struggling for a while, Wen Youshan nodded and agreed, took out ten pennies from his arms and handed it to the soldiers, and quickly pushed his scooter into the city.
