Chapter 50 Transport
Tin Guangzong returned to the oxcart to pick up the scale. Tan Dafeng did not know what he was thinking after circling around this place, his eyes dark and unpredictable.
Just after taking a look at her, he put all those thoughts aside and quickly returned to normal.
He began to intentionally or unintentionally create some artificial traces around him, and even ordered his nephew to move back and forth irregularly during the weighing process.
He didn’t know what Suning was hiding, who he had traded these things with, and how he had completed the transaction. As long as it didn’t endanger the country and the people, what was the problem with being a biological uncle and cleaning up the mess for her?
The large fire clouds hanging diagonally on the horizon reflected the brilliant glow of the entire Fengzhu Ridge.
The cool mountain breeze stirred the leaves of the bamboo forest and made a rustling sound.
A drop of sweat rolled down and soaked the front and back of the busy person before it could be wiped off.
The three of Qin Dafeng are really good at work, and they cooperate very well. One person weighs, the other repacks the bag, and the other person carries it.
Suning, who had an 'injury' on his body and was ordered to sit aside and could only watch blankly, was restless, squeezing his palms and looking helpless.
She has a faster, more effective and less tiring method, but she can't use it blatantly.
"What's wrong with Ningning? There's a nail under her butt?"
Looking at her from the corner of his eye, Tan Dafeng stood up and wiped his face, making a joke happily.
"Don't worry, we will be able to finish this work in a while. Just sit back and relax, and you won't delay the handover!"
Uncle, she is not worried about whether it will be too late.
Returning with a dumbfounded look, Suning waved his hand, "Uncle Qin, I'm not worried!"
"Hahahaha, it's okay if you don't worry!"
Already thought about it Fortunately, in addition to the number on the task list and what was promised to Fu Jiaming, the remaining remaining amounts are used as hidden benefits for Uncle Tan and the other three to help this time.
She estimated that the food would only be less than two to three hundred kilograms at most, and the fruit might be even less, but it would be just right to use it as a favor.
“Xixixi~Crack~”
Um?
There seemed to be strange noises and movements on the back of the hillside. Seeing Uncle Tan and the others busy, Suning stood up and walked slowly up the slope.
I saw a child about five or six years old, with his bare feet scratching something on the bottom of the bamboo with a sharpened bamboo blade, and then carefully put it into a bag with a cork next to him. Cut into bamboo tube.
The child turned his head as if he was frightened by the noise, and took a deep breath when he saw clearly that it was a beautiful elder sister.
At this time, Suning also saw clearly that the things in the bamboo slices in her hands turned out to be brown insects.
Neither of them spoke. One tilted his head and looked at it in confusion, while the other continued to scratch his head.
"Do you... also want to eat?"
The little guy who finally felt uncomfortable after being stared at by her was the first to speak.
The voice is not as clear and loud as a child's. Instead, it is low and hoarse like an old woman's. Her words are stumbling and she doesn't seem to speak very often, so it is very difficult.
But... what did she say, eat?
Are we catching them not for making medicine, but for eating?
"Shall I... give you a little...a little bit?"
"Thank you, but no need."
——If it's not for the bamboo insects, then why are you still here? ?
Seeing the bright meaning in those big eyes, Suning smiled and the small pear dimples loomed at the corners of his mouth.
There were almost no homes in Fengzhuling. She was a little curious when such a child suddenly appeared and said he was catching bugs to eat.
But since the little guy wasn't very welcoming and seemed quite afraid of being disturbed, she didn't ask any more questions and turned around to leave.
The moment I left, the "enthusiastic" lady who gave me directions suddenly flashed through my mind.
He paused, turned his head and looked again. Suning walked down the slope with a somewhat strange expression.
“What’s wrong?”
"Uncle Qin, do you eat bugs?"
"You are talking about the bamboo weevil that grows on bamboo, right? That thing is roasted and fried, and the food and wine are fragrant~"
Qin Dafeng looked behind her from a distance, but of course he didn't see anything because of the height of the slope. "Did you catch bamboo insects and eat them?"
"Ning Wazi, if you want to try it, I'll let the dog do it tomorrow. They grabbed a pot, this is the bamboo worm your aunt fried!"
Qin Dacang said with a smile and gave a thumbs up with his free hand.
"No, no, I just saw a child saying that he was curious about catching bugs and eating them!"
"Hahahaha~"
"Hahaha!"
Seeing her waving her hands and shaking her head in resistance, and looking extremely nervous that Tan Dakang was really going to eat bugs for him, Tan Dafeng and the others were amused beyond measure.
For those who have never eaten it, looking at the black fried insects will indeed make them sick and scared.
But in the village, during the years of natural disasters, not to mention insects, they would eat anything when they were hungry. Delicious foods like bamboo worms and cicadas were unthinkable at that time. "Ning Ning, don't be afraid. Bamboo insects, especially the larvae and pupae, are so delicious!"
As he spoke, he sipped his saliva, and Tan Guangzong promised happily. He said, "When the autumn harvest is over, I will go to the bamboo forest to catch you!"
Suning, who was silent and seemed unable to escape this insect feast: Then, I thank you?
“Hahahaha, I’ll tell you about insect pupae next time, Ning Ning, come and take a look at these goods.”
“According to what you said, a bag of grains weighs a hundred kilograms, and fruits weigh a hundred kilograms. One basket. Excluding the total you mentioned, there are still three hundred and twenty kilograms of rice and one hundred kilograms of mixed fruits."
It was very different from what she had budgeted in her mind, so Suning asked them to put away the excess. Wait aside and remember to move it back to the bullock cart.
Qin Dafeng and the others didn't think much about it. They just said that they had forgotten something, so they would not have forgotten the food.
"Uncle Qin, you guys have a rest first, the truck will have to wait a while before it arrives."
Looking at his watch, Suning took the military green cloth bag hanging behind him to hide it from others and took it to the front. , reached out and took out several steamed buns as big as an adult's fist.
I was in a hurry to cook a few bites of rice before I came here. I felt really hungry after two hours of work.
Qin Dafeng and the others really regarded her as one of their own, and of course they would not be polite. They took the buns and squatted on the ground to eat them.
She only remembered to prepare some food but forgot about water. She could only feel upset when she saw that Tan Guangzong was choking and stretching his neck while eating so fast.
After all, the bag is only that big. With so many big buns stuffed inside, how can it possibly hold such a big army green water bottle.
"No matter how fragrant this big meat bun is, you have to slow down, or I'll choke you to death, you brat!"
Glancing at him angrily, Qin Dafeng stretched out his hand as big as a cattail leaf fan and put it on his face. He was slapped on the back.
Qin Guangzong, who was almost beaten to death by his uncle after finally being choked to death: Dear uncle, please let me go!
My dear father, Qin Dacang, smiled happily and didn't think anything was wrong. If he hadn't been slow, he would have helped.
Pricking up his ears and hearing the noise, Qin Dafeng cleared the buns in his hands, "Ning Ning's car is here!"
"Huh?"
After hearing this, Suning stood up and walked to the roadside, and sure enough, he saw a large truck parked slowly towards this side.
"General Su?"
"Master Hao, it's me!"
After answering loudly, Suning turned around and nodded to Qin Dafeng next to him.
The three of them understood and immediately started loading the goods into the car.
......
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening until all the things were loaded into the car.
"Master Hao, please wait a moment."
"Hi, what's the matter? Mr. Su, I'll get in the car and wait for you first!"
Wait for him to get in After getting in the car, Suning followed Tan Dafeng to the pit, "Uncle Tan, Uncle Tan, Brother Guangzong, I have to go back with the car. I will come to Yong County to see you next time."
"Be sure to pay attention to safety on the way back, and slow down!"
"Don't worry about it, baby."
Patting her shoulder, Qin Dafeng smiled and nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, you Uncle Qin, I'm driving safely, but you should be more careful not to open the wound on your back. If you don't have time after the autumn harvest, I will go to the ancient market to see you!"
"Okay."
After saying a few words briefly, Suning took out the money he had agreed to before and stuffed it into his hand, said goodbye to Tan Dacang and his son, and turned around to leave under the gaze of several people.
......
Listening to the sound of the truck starting to drive away, Tan Guangzong suddenly remembered what was wrong and patted his forehead hard.
"Uncle, Dad, what should we do with the extra grain and fruits?"
"What should we do with it? Didn't Ning Wazi tell us to move it back to the oxcart... oh~"
< br>Qin Dacang reacted and looked at his elder brother suddenly, "This?"
"This little fox!"
No wonder he is still running so fast even though he is injured!
Qin Dafeng shook his head and smiled, then followed their eyes to the bags of grain and fruit baskets on the ground.
"Let's go back first. I will replace these three bags of rice with new grains after the autumn harvest and bring more for her to taste."
