Chapter 8 Old Friend’s House()

The setting sun is like blood, and the sunset clouds fill the sky, reflecting the poetic and picturesque mountain village.

It was getting late, and a new moon slowly rose from the top of the mountain.

There was an uproar under the old longan tree, and it was already full of people. In the small courtyard, Lelang put the two Eight Immortals tables together and took out the few benches in the house that were just enough to sit. Lelang put the carefully cooked

The cooked snake porridge was brought up. The porridge was as white as snow, with green onion sprinkled on top. When you smell it, a fresh fragrance suddenly hits your nose, which whets your appetite.

As soon as everyone saw the snake porridge coming, they quickly picked up a long spoon and poured it into their own bowls. The snake porridge sat for a while and was just lukewarm. When it was brought to the mouth, a big bowl of porridge went into the stomach. After finishing the meal,

Finally, when he was looking for a spoon to scoop out the porridge, he found that the spoon and the earthen pot containing the porridge had disappeared. It turned out that there were too many people, and the porridge was just enough for one person to eat one bowl. Everyone couldn't get enough of it, and Lelang took the porridge again.

A large pot of pickled fish and vegetables that had been prepared was brought out, and each person poured a glass of lychee wine as sticky as honey. There was a burst of cheers and a lively atmosphere. Everyone cheered, drank, guessed and laughed, until

Halfway through the moon.

After eating and drinking, everyone slowly dispersed. Some people were half drunk and walked crookedly. Some people supported them and walked slowly back. Le Lang watched everyone go away, and then walked back to the courtyard.

.

In the courtyard, Naruto, the ferryman, was still sitting on a chair, pulling a few remaining green vegetables into the pot. He also drank a lot in the evening, but his eyes were still very bright.

"Let's go. That Shenmin and Lao Liu Lao Qi can't guess me at guessing, and they want to get me drunk without looking at who I am. I am the ancestor of drinking." Naruto saw Le Lang coming in and said to him

shouted at him.

"Yes, we all know that you drink a lot. Come on, come and help clean up."

"Ah, you need someone else to clean up this little thing for you. Just scan it. I'm drunk." After saying that, he threw down the chopsticks he was about to pick up the vegetables and ran away quickly.

"I'm drunk, because I'm lonely, I'm lonely, who's going to comfort me, ah... ah... drunken tango, drunken tango, who's going to comfort me..."

Hearing several screams of Naruto in the night wind, Le Lang couldn't help but smile bitterly. This man's lazy temper has never changed. He had no choice but to do it himself. Unfortunately, Saburo had already fallen asleep, otherwise the diligent Saburo would have helped.

After cleaning up, I tidied up the things everyone brought before going to bed. Everyone didn't forget to bring something with them when they came. Some brought some dried fungus and mushrooms, and some carried a bag of sweet potatoes.

Some brought a bag of pickles, mostly from their own homes. Seeing that Le Lang had just come back, there must be nothing at home, so they gave some to help. The most exaggerated one was Zi Che Shenmin, who carried a full bag of pickles in a wheelbarrow.

There were a lot of sweet potatoes, peanuts, bananas, and dried radishes in the cart. Those who didn't know better thought he was moving.

Le Lang got up early in the morning. It was not because he wanted to get up so early, but because he was woken up by his Da Kui and Er Kui. Today, he was renovating the house. He had to cook food for the masters who were renovating the house, and boil water for them.

Drink, so they came over early to help.

After a while, the master who renovated the house came, and a large number of people lifted off the roof tiles and plastered the walls. They moved quickly. Next, the people Uncle Lelang hired to dig the biogas pool also came.

, it costs about 3,000 yuan to dig a biogas tank, and several households in the village have dug it for raising pigs. This thing is more convenient than burning firewood, and it is environmentally friendly and pollution-free.

After a while, the man who promised to help dig the pond last night also came. Originally, he wanted to find a Taiwanese hand to dig it, but he couldn't get in. Moreover, the pond he dug was not big, so there was no need to waste so much. Some people

That's it.

The pond was dug very quickly, and more than half of it was dug in one morning. The main reason was that there were many people, most of whom were the people who drank together yesterday, and Lelang did not want to dig too deep. It was about two meters on the side and three or four meters deep in the middle.

It's ten meters in size, and it only takes one day for more people to dig it out. The excavated soil is piled aside to form a slope, on which you can plant flowers and grass and build a pavilion. In the summer, you can enjoy the cool breeze. At night

, the pond has been dug out, all that is left to do tomorrow is to strengthen the edge of the pond with a strip of stone. Then some lotus flowers will be planted in the pond, some fruit trees, a few clusters of bamboos or one or two bananas will be planted on the edge of the pond. Then the pond will be filled with lotus flowers.

, the fruits are red, the bamboos are green, and the bananas are abundant. It is really beautiful.

After the pond was dug, Lelang asked them to help clear out the three acres of land. This matter made several of his friends scold him, especially Naruto.

The biogas pool outside the wall has also been dug. We are just waiting for the biogas pool to dry out and pile up fertilizer to produce biogas.

The renovation master was also very fast. He had already turned over the roof tiles of the tiled house in front of him in one day. Judging from this speed, it would take two or three days to complete the whole thing. But the first thing Lelang had to do was to go to the mountain.

Find a mountain spring, then build a reservoir, lead the mountain spring down, put it into the covered pool, and then lead it from the pool to the pond. This mountain spring is living water, and the spring water is flowing all year round.

We are not afraid of any dry season either.

After working hard for several days, it was finally completed. It cost about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan inside and outside, which is not a lot. This was also thanks to the help from his uncle and his family, otherwise it would have been too much.

He shouldn't be so anxious.

The courtyard has been completely renovated inside and outside. Even the couplet at the door that reads, "Family happiness exists at home, and the environment is appropriate for doing things." was rewritten. The four old longan trees in the front yard were surrounded by large pebbles from the mountain stream.

When I got up, the ground was covered with a layer of red bricks, which looked clean, tidy, simple and new. The originally dim and stripped white walls in the front room had been repainted, bright and generous, and the same was true for the two-story building behind.

The freshly dug pond in the backyard has been filled with spring water brought down by Le Lang. The spring water fills the pond and then slowly flows out of the courtyard along a small ditch. Le Lang buried a

A large water pipe leads directly to the lake outside.

The weeds in the backyard have been cleared away. Except for a few fruit trees by the wall, the rest of the area is bare. Le Lang thought about whether he should plant something. Although the weather is getting colder, he can still plant something cold-resistant in the winter in the south.

vegetable.

But the most important thing now is to buy a water heater to avoid having to boil water for bathing every day, as well as a refrigerator and a TV. He used to have a TV at home, but after leaving it for many years, the TV case could be thrown into the water to attract snails.

He had to find someone to install a pot cover and a satellite receiver, and he also had to find someone to install a phone and network cables. There were so many things that he didn't know where to start.

After thinking about it, he came up with the idea of ​​​​his group of bad friends. Who told them to drink the lychee wine that he had treasured for many years that day? Is it so easy for Alang to take advantage of it? Besides, moving things requires people.

He said hello to Zi Che Shenmin, called Naruto and Lao Qi from Baoshui Reservoir, and they got into Lao Qi's four-wheel pickup truck and headed towards the town to kill.

In less than two hours, the group came back again, except that the car had a TV, a refrigerator, and a lot of electrical appliances. The few of them were busy all morning, and at noon, Lelang had a conscience and cooked a pot of chicken vermicelli.

"Tsk, tsk, this vermicelli is cooked authentically, and the soup is really good. I haven't eaten it in a long time, but it tastes so good." Naruto gestured while eating the chicken vermicelli.

There is also a lot of knowledge involved in making this chicken vermicelli. First, put the chicken, ginger and green onion in a pot and simmer until the soup is thick, then chop it into pieces, take out the ginger and green onion, then add the vermicelli to cook, and pour it on top when eating.

Fried dried scallions in oil, the taste, haha, you will like it.

"Well, well, it's really good." Lao Qi also responded.

This Lao Qi's real name is Zi Che Qiu Cai, but he was given the nickname "Lao Qi" for some reason. He got used to it when he was called, and sometimes people might not recognize him when he was called by his real name.

Shenmin on the side didn't say a word, he just shoveled the chicken vermicelli into his mouth and finished it without even seeing a bowl of it. Naruto and Lao Qiyi were dumbfounded and didn't even bother to say anything. They ate the chicken vermicelli with all their strength.

Stuff it into your mouth.
