Lu Jianguo pulled up a lot of weeds and put them in the backpack, and a group of people walked towards the dam happily.
The people who were repairing the river channel had not finished their work yet. Captain Lu's wife was surprised to see so many forest frogs: "How can we catch so many forest frogs at this time?"
Lu Jianguo said proudly: "We have turned over most of the ditch."
"That's right, Auntie, go and make it. I'm so greedy."
The captain's wife responded repeatedly: "Okay, okay! I'm good at making frogs, just wait!"
Wen Sihe and Wu Yu both stood there watching with curiosity.
Wu Yu reached out and poked the plump frog: "How do you eat this? Do you want to rip open its stomach?"
Wen Sihe also squatted next to the backpack. Is this the very valuable snow frog oil in later generations?
The captain's wife picked up a wood frog and laughed, "You city people have never seen this thing, right?
Let me tell you, this is good stuff. The wood frogs in September and October still have something in their stomachs, so they don’t taste good.
The wood frog after the frost is full of oil and fat. There is no need to open its belly and cook it directly. The taste is amazing.
I will let you taste my cooking skills later."
Wu Yu nodded excitedly: "I'll go make a fire."
Wen Sihe also picked up two buckets and prepared to fetch water to clean the forest frog thoroughly.
On the other side, Lu Zhiye took advantage of the fact that there were few people around and called out to Lu Jianguo, "Uncle Jianguo."
Lu Jianguo was looking at the two large baskets of wood frogs with a grin on his face when he suddenly heard someone calling him and turned around in confusion.
Then he saw Lu Zhiye holding a piece of wood and sitting next to him.
Lu Zhiye took out a cigarette and handed it to him. Lu Jianguo quickly wiped his hands on his body again and again before taking the cigarette. He looked at it like a treasure and was reluctant to smoke it.
"Uncle Jianguo, are you familiar with the old lady Fang who came yesterday?"
Lu Jianguo's body suddenly stiffened, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Not familiar, not familiar!"
Who dares to have anything to do with feudal superstition?
Lu Zhiye ignored his carelessness.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Does she know my grandmother?"
Lu Jianguo subconsciously grabbed the dry grass beside him, and after a long while he said, "She always liked to follow your grandmother, and even her marriage was arranged by your grandmother.
Alas, but things don’t always go as planned. Who knew that something like this would happen later.
At first, the family she married into gave her a small house to live in.
After the man in the family died, even the little house was taken away and she was driven back.
Old Mrs. Fang only came back to us in recent years.
After her son and daughter got married, they cut off all ties with her. She is such a pitiful person."
Lu Zhiye understood. No wonder his grandmother had never mentioned Old Lady Fang before.
Lu Jianguo looked at Lu Zhiye, who was not sure what he was thinking, and approached him mysteriously: "Xiaoye, tell me if these cigarettes are expensive. If they are not expensive, I will get a box too."
He saved up fifty cents for pocket money.
There's nothing we can do about it. The tigress at home is in charge of the money and is too strict.
Lu Zhiye shook his head: "It's not expensive, but it requires cigarette coupons, and I finally got a cigarette coupon with great difficulty.
If Uncle Jianguo hadn't been here today, I wouldn't have been willing to take out this cigarette."
Lu Jianguo was flattered by Lu Zhiye, but when he heard that he wanted cigarette coupons, he could only sigh with regret: "Alas!"
"Uncle, I'll go over there and see if there's anyone I can help with."
"Go, go!"
Lu Zhiye walked to the back of the shed, with his head down, thinking about what Old Lady Fang meant by that.
I ran into Wen Sihe head-on.
Wen Sihe was carrying a shoulder pole with two buckets of water swinging back and forth.
Naturally, she also saw Lu Zhiye. Her eyes turned, and she staggered and almost fell, and some water in the bucket spilled out.
Lu Zhi's ambition tightened, he pursed his lips, and took the carrying pole faster than his brain.
Without saying a word, he picked up the shoulder pole and strode forward.
Wen Sihe forced a smile from her red lips and hurriedly trotted after him.
Inside the shed, a large pot of sweet potato rice had been cooked. Wu Yu poured the brown rice mixed with sweet potatoes into a large basin and covered it with a lid.
After washing the pot, he acted like a good baby, blinking his big eyes and watching the captain's wife work.
This time, the captain's wife was willing to add oil, chopped green onions, ginger and chili to the pan. After cleaning the forest frog, she blanch it in hot water and pour it directly into the pan and stir-fry.
A pungent and spicy aroma hit Wu Yu in the face, making him sniffle.
After stir-frying, add potato vermicelli and stew directly in one pot.
There are more forest frogs today, so each person can get two or three.
The fragrance wafted from far away, making people in the nearby Dam Village feel itchy.
Captain Liu from Daba Village was so angry that he kept groaning: "The people in Dahe Village eat meat every day. They are deliberately making us jealous!"
A villager wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and whispered: "Captain, when can we eat meat again?"
Captain Liu's eyes were as loud as copper bells: "Eat, eat, eat! How much is our village's harvest this year? I have no idea!"
"But my stomach is empty and too cold to hold on!"
Captain Liu was also feeling miserable, he knew it too.
But what can we do?
At this moment, a thin child ran over and said, "Uncle, the people in the next village are stewing frogs. It smells delicious."
Captain Liu looked up suddenly: "Really? Where did they catch him?"
"Aunt Xiuxiu said that her husband caught it at the Nuanquan in the mountains."
Xiuxiu was from Daba Village and married to Dahe Village. They had just gotten married and didn’t have any children, so the couple wanted to build a house of their own and separate from their parents.
That's why I came here to repair the river and make more money.
Captain Liu and a few men walked towards Dahe Village.
As soon as they approached the greenhouse, the aroma made several people's stomachs growl.
Through the gap in the shed, you can vaguely see the stewed forest frogs in the big pot.
Captain Liu walked towards Captain Lu with his hands behind his back.
"Old Lu!"
Captain Lu turned around and saw that it was Captain Liu, and quickly gave a wink to his brother.
Lu Jianguo walked quickly into the shed and put down the cloth to cover the scene inside.
"Old Lu, we also own half of this back mountain, right? You should also give us half of the frogs you caught, right?"
Captain Lu glared at him and said, "How can you be so shameless? We worked so hard to catch them, why should we share them with you?"
"This entire mountain is state property. Your behavior is destroying collective property. As the team leader, you openly do this and you will be criticized."
Captain Liu stood with his hands behind his back and spoke in a righteous manner.
