Chapter 12 Cutting Bamboo Cane
[[[cp|w:269|h:361|a:c|u:./chapte/201212/4/.]]] Back home, Song Wen found that his mother had actually come.
You should know that since the eldest sister-in-law gave birth to a son, she has been watching the child at home, and rarely goes to other places except to go to the fields.
"Mom, why are you here?" Song Wen asked strangely.
"Why can't I come?"
Chen Xiuhui looked at her son angrily.
Upon hearing this, Song Wen scratched the back of his head.
Seeing his son's stupidity, Chen Xiuhui gave him a blank look and said, "Silly boy, your father and you went to dig bamboo shoots on the mountain. No one at home cooks. Of course I have to come and have a look. Go wash your hands and have a meal."
"oh..."
After responding, Song Wen went to wash his hands and have a meal.
After dinner, he and his father picked out the tender bamboo shoots and packed them in large bamboo baskets, then put them on the motorcycle shelves, and took them to a place in the town that specializes in collecting bamboo shoots.
There were too many bamboo shoots dug this time, so Song Wen helped his father carry two big baskets of bamboo shoots to sell.
After selling bamboo shoots, Song Wen bought a little hen and planned to fight with the black wind snake he caught in the morning. Unexpectedly, when he came home and entered Ruyi Fan, he saw the little hedgehog lying on the ground leisurely gnawing at the black wind snake. One third of the black wind snake that was almost two meters long had been eaten by it. The puppy without teeth next to him also joined in the fun and bit the black wind snake, and he didn't know what it did without teeth.
Song Wen was speechless, but seeing that the little hedgehog could not finish eating a snake, he took off a piece of snake meat from the unbittered part.
I originally wanted to make a big pot of dragon and phoenix dou, but now it seems that it can't be done. I can only use half a little hen and that piece of snake meat to make a small pot. The other half of the little hen will make some mushrooms, add ginger, green onion, salted MSG to make steamed mushrooms and smooth chicken, and make two more dishes, and eat them with my father at noon.
His mother Chen Xiuhui went down the mountain after cooking in the morning because she had to take care of her daughter-in-law and grandson.
After lunch and taking a break, Song Wen carried his hoe to the backyard.
The backyard is bare, with only the neat vegetable beds that have been cultivated in the past few days.
Originally, the land on the backyard was covered with garbage left by building houses, and it was very hard to clean it up. Moreover, the land was very thin and not very fat at that time, so he asked his father to carry a few trucks of mushroom soil. Mushroom soil is the soil left after making mushrooms. It was so fat that it was the most suitable for farming. Then he went to the farm where people raised chickens and ducks to get some chicken and duck manure. Now the land looks very fat, but it feels a bit overweight.
There was a cowshed in the corner of the yard. The big buffalo waiting to be born saw him coming and immediately mooed.
Song Wen walked over, touched its head, and comforted it. The big buffalo's stomach was getting bigger and bigger day by day, and it was about to give birth. It is said that a woman's temper after pregnancy was as cloudy as the weather in June. The buffalo's temper is probably the same now, so Song Wen has always been careful to serve her. Seeing that there was less hay in the cowshed, she went to make some more to the shop so that the big buffalo would not catch a cold at night.
After autumn, the weather is getting colder and the mountains are even colder than outside. Seeing that the big buffalo is about to give birth, I have to be careful.
After laying the hay, I got some food for the big buffalo, and picked up a hoe and dug it in the yard.
He planned to dig a water cave in the yard to store water, and then dig a ditch to come out, and see if he could raise some loaches or something.
After digging for a while, he suddenly remembered the hedgehog and the puppy who were still in Ruyi's fan, so he put them out. The two little guys came outside, excited and shouted happily. The little hedgehog shook his way around the yard, then ran to the corner, buried his head in the soil, and dug it up. He didn't know what he was doing. The puppy shook his head and tail and shouted excitedly around Song Wen for a while, then chased the chickens and ducks in the yard. After a while, he saw the big buffalo and felt that the big guy looked a little strange, so he ran outside the cowshed and looked curiously, shouting, very naughty.
Song Wen dug the water cave and ditch, and used a water pipe to lead the spring water he drew from the mountain to the water cave. The spring water flowed to the water cave. After not coming out, it flowed into the ditch. After a big bend in the courtyard, it flowed along a drainage pipe in the corner of the wall to the small lake outside.
Originally, his father wanted to dig a well at home to get water, but Song Wen thought about it and felt that it was troublesome to dig a well, and the well water was not as sweet as the spring water, so he went to the mountains to find a spring, and then built the spring with red brick cement. When the spring water filled the water tower made of red brick cement, he covered the water tower, followed by water pipes to the water tower on the roof of the second floor, and then led the water from the water tower to every corner of the house.
After digging the water cave, Song Wen wanted to go to the mountain to see if there were any wild boars coming to destroy the bamboo forest. He also went to explore the bamboo rat nests in the bamboo forest. He had to think of a way, so that the bamboo rats could not continue to harm the bamboo forest.
At this moment, the cell phone in his trouser bag rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Song Hu.
"What's up."
"Tianshui's family is cutting bamboo cane. Come to me quickly and I'll take you there, otherwise the tail of the cane will be dragged away."
It is almost late autumn, and the grass is withering and there is no grass to cut. For this reason, Song Wen had to buy feed to feed the big buffalo.
The big buffalo had no grass to eat, and the appetite seemed to be not very good. Song Wen complained a few times. After hearing this, Song Hu asked and found out that someone in the village was going to cut bamboo cane today, so he quickly called him. After the bamboo cane was cut, there was a pile of cane tails left, which were sweet and salty. The beef liked to eat this thing the most.
After hearing this, Song Wen did not dare to neglect it. He said to his father, and rode a motorcycle to Song Hu's noodle shop. There were several cattle-raising families in the village. I really don't know if the sugarcane tails were there.
When he arrived at the braised noodle shop, Song Hu was already waiting there in his small truck. Song Wen parked the motorcycle and took the small truck and Song Hu to the bamboo cane garden.
The bamboo cane garden is located at the west end of Songjiabao, where bamboo cane is basically planted, and the terraced cane forests look amazing.
This is the time for bamboo cane to be harvested every year. The cut bamboo cane is either sold to the sugar factory or brought to the market by itself. Generally speaking, the price of selling by itself is relatively high, but it is more troublesome, and the price of selling to the sugar factory is relatively cheap, but the advantage is that he accepts everything regardless of whether it is good or bad, and does not have to sell it slowly by himself.
Nowadays, bamboo cane on the market can be sold at about 80 cents, and a bamboo cane can be sold at almost a maximum of 100 cents. A bundle of sugar cane can be sold at twenty. If you can sell three or four bundles a day, it will be very good. However, you can only sell it once a year, so you can earn money to support your family by selling bamboo cane. Sooner or later, the family will starve to death. Therefore, fewer and fewer people are planting bamboo cane now.
When I arrived at the field, the bamboo cane in the field had been cut halfway, and there were already people collecting the tails next to me. When Song Wen saw that it wasn’t the Hailin where cattle was raised in the village? I couldn’t help but look at Song Hu. Someone had already collected the tails of the cane, so why did he still run over?
Song Hu knew what he was thinking, so he said, "It's okay, he will take half of it and you will have the rest. This piece of bamboo cane will be cut in the past few days, and then there will be too many tails of cane even your family can't put it down."
Song Wen was relieved after hearing this.
After Hailin dragged his tail away, Song Wen went down to collect the tail, while Song Hu took out one of the piles of bamboo canes and chewed it on the side. Seeing that Song Wen, who was struggling to tie the tail of the cane, wanted to beat him up.
Song Hu was gnawing on the bamboo cane beautifully and kept moving his mouth. He felt that the bamboo cane was too hard, making his teeth and mouth a little sour. However, it was also sweet, much sweeter than those black sugar cane. After eating one, he felt a little unsatisfied, so he pulled out another smaller bamboo cane.
Just as I was about to continue chewing, I felt someone poking him with something behind me. When I looked back, it was Tianshui, the son of the owner of the bamboo sugar field. I couldn't help but glared at me and shouted angrily: "What are you doing?"
He was feeling good when he was gnawing the bamboo cane, but he didn't expect that he was interrupted by the fields. He felt naturally unhappy. But he didn't think about whose bamboo cane it was.
"I said you've eaten enough, too." Tian Shui said with a machete.
"what?"
"Go and help after you have eaten enough, don't just focus on eating."
"You kid, you only eat one bamboo cane, and you will be chatting a lot. Just chop a bamboo cane, and it will be solved every second. You also need someone to help you. Are you promising?"
Song Hu taught a lesson unhappily, in fact, he didn't want to do anything at all, just wanted to continue eating bamboo cane.
Tian Shui was several years younger than him. When he was a child, he was following him behind his butt for a while. Now he works as a security guard in a factory. Today, he went home on vacation, but was dragged by his son to cut bamboo cane. He had never done such a job. He was so tired after a few strokes. Seeing Song Hu gnawing on the bamboo cane leisurely and beautifully, he felt unbalanced and became unhappy, so he instigated him to help.
"Or why don't you try it, the bamboo cane is delicious, but it's not easy to chop." Tian Shui said excitedly.
"You think I have never cut it before. When I was planting bamboo cane at home, I used to cut it with one hand, like a dragon crossing the river, like a tiger coming out of the gate, or like a bear coming out of the hole. In just two or three seconds, I cut it all over the bamboo cane. It's not like you, but after cutting it for a while, you started crying and calling your parents."
"Everyone can brag, don't just say it but not practice."
After being so aroused by him, Song Hu really picked up the machete and walked towards the bamboo cane forest.
He wasn't all talking about bragging. He held the machete and slashed quickly, and he cut a lot in a short while, making Tianshui stunned.
Song Wen, who was standing aside, smiled. Not to mention anything else, Song Hu is indeed a good player in cutting bamboo cane. In the past, this guy used this hand to steal bamboo cane. If he didn't hurry, maybe someone would come to patrol the bamboo cane garden immediately. How could he not be happy?
