Chapter 622 Two Centipedes
After dark at night, Zhang Jianjun came over.
"Xiao An, I saw Chen Ze come back this afternoon. Have you solved the design of his hotel?"
Zhang Jianjun didn't mince words and asked his nephew directly.
"Yeah, well, I came back today and brought back the drawings. He even showed me the design. It's really, really beautiful."
Zhang An nodded and told me directly Got his second uncle.
"Xiao An, you said that Chen Ze's hotel is about to start construction. Can I take it over?"
Hearing this, Zhang Jianjun's eyes started to roll.
He is now a contractor who specializes in building houses for people. Chen Ze wants to build such a big hotel. It is impossible for him not to be tempted. How much money will he make after completing the two projects? .
So he came directly to ask Zhang An, wondering if he could talk to his nephew.
"Second uncle, but I think your idea is a bit unrealistic."
Of course Zhang An knew what his second uncle was planning, and he said it directly on the spot.
“Why is it unrealistic? We have built at least 30 to 50 houses in the past two years. It requires technology and labor and labor. I think we can still give it a try.”
< br>At this time, Zhang Jianjun is no longer the same person who just started working as a bricklayer a few years ago.
In the past two years, he and his people have indeed done a lot of work. They have built several villagers' houses in the village, all the yards in Dongli courtyard, and many in the nearby ten miles and eight villages. This can be said to have given him confidence. Big rise.
"Uncle, it's not what I think of you. The Chen Zena Hotel is a big project, completely different from private housing. Although you guys have many small and large craftsmen with good craftsmanship, he It is impossible to complete such a large project by manual labor alone. Excavators and other large machines are absolutely indispensable. You really can’t take it.”
Knowing Zhang Jianjun’s temperament, Zhang An was more direct in speaking, and he was worried. If I were to put it mildly, I wouldn't be able to dispel my second uncle's inner thoughts.
“And his job is not as simple as building a house for everyone. It requires qualifications, so only construction companies can take it, so there is no way. Otherwise, you are my second uncle, Feishui. How could I not help you if you don’t want to be an outsider?”
“Guigui, there are so many things here? I thought it was enough to do a good job.”
Listen. After Zhang An finished speaking, Zhang Jianjun was speechless. He knew that he wanted to keep things simple.
Although he has built so many houses in the past two years, they are always only in rural areas, and they are only self-built houses for civilians.
He knew very little about the processes required by the construction companies in the city.
"Furthermore, Chen Ze himself has decided to ask Li Hongbin and others to do it. Then my second uncle can also go and see how other people's big projects are done."
In order to make Zhang Jianjun give up, Zhang An moved Li Hongbin out.
"Okay, I understand."
Now Zhang Jianjun really gave up. Everyone in the village knew that Li Hongbin worked in a construction company. Although he had never seen the formation, he had always been casual in the past. It is definitely not something ordinary people can do to mobilize so many excavators.
"Mom, let's have hot pot tonight. I'll pick up some pea tips and come back."
In the evening, Zhang An still didn't forget the idea of hot pot. He picked up the basket and headed to the vegetable patch. Drill inside.
Before the National Day, Wang Fang had already sown a large field of peas on the ground, and now it was time to eat them.
In February and March, there was so much food in the field that I couldn’t even finish it. Zhang An was tired of it by then.
But now that seven or eight months have passed, Zhang An really misses him.
And the tips of the peas during this period are the first and the freshest.
"Go ahead and bring back some coriander."
Wang Fang doesn't have any objections. It takes a lot less effort to eat hot pot than to cook.
“Dad, wait for me.”
Seeing his father running away with a basket, little Siqi immediately chased after him.
"You can go, but you are not allowed to pull out anything from the ground. Your grandma has worked so hard to plant it."
Zhang An has not forgotten that last time this boy followed When he went to the vegetable field, he pulled out many vegetable seedlings and asked Wang Fang to replant one behind.
"Did you hear that, or I'll spank you."
Seeing that the little guy didn't speak, Zhang An glanced at him and stretched out his hand to warn.
"Oh!"
Seeing his father's big hand raised, the little guy quickly replied.
He also didn’t forget that after pulling out the vegetable seedlings last time, he was slapped hard on the buttocks by this unscrupulous father.
“Here, take this.”
When he came to the vegetable field, in order to control his son’s restless hands, Zhang An directly handed him the basket, so that he I can settle down now.
The little guy was also obedient, struggling to carry the vegetable basket that was much bigger than his head with both hands, and then Zhang An began to pick the tips of the peas.
Once the pea tips are ready to be picked, they must be picked frequently.
In this way, there will be more and more pea plants. As long as you plant a small piece, your family can eat them for a long time.
If you don't pick them often, they won't have too many tips, and they will bloom easily.
At that time, there will only be a few days left to eat.
The reason why Zhang An's family wanted to plant a large area was because there were too many people coming to buy vegetables from Dongli Yard, so they couldn't supply enough food.
Soon, Zhang An picked two large handfuls of pea tips, which was enough for a family of four to eat.
After picking this stuff, it won’t be kept for long and it will soon become wilted and wrinkled, so don’t pick too much.
After putting it in the basket, the little guy still carried it very seriously. Although it looked like a lot, it didn’t weigh much and the little guy could still lift it.
Then Zhang An went to pick the coriander that his mother had told him about. The leaves of the current coriander are like fans, and of course they taste delicious.
Finally, we need to pull out some chives. This thing is a must-have when eating hot pot. Regardless of whether it is dipped in water or in the pot, it is indispensable, otherwise it will taste unpleasant.
Unfortunately, the garlic planted some time ago has not grown yet.
It would also be great to add some garlic sprouts.
"Qi Qi, take it to grandma."
Coming back from the vegetable field, Zhang An pointed to his mother in the kitchen and said to the little guy.
He really liked carrying the basket, and Zhang An refused to take it over on the way.
When the little guy heard this, he happily went to find his grandma with a basket of vegetables.
“Oh, you can carry so many things, give it to grandma quickly.”
Seeing the little guy carrying a basket full of vegetables, Wang Fang seemed to have seen something terrible. things.
"You, the father, are the same. Qiqi is still so young, why did you let him just hold it like this."
As expected, Zhang An was nagged by Wang Fang again. Dayton.
"Mom, how heavy is this? He is so strong. You can lift his little car without even seeing him."
Zhang An was a little helpless. I don’t know if my son has inherited his strong gene. He is only a little over a year old, but he is so strong that he can lift the little jeep easily.
Then he looked at the time and saw that Su Ying was about to come back from school, so Wang Fang took her grandson to wash vegetables.
Zhang An was not idle either. He came to the fish pond and caught a fat sea bass, which he planned to kill into fillets and eat in the evening.
The next day, there was light rain in the sky. Although it was not heavy, the already cold weather became even colder.
Fortunately, Zhang An’s house has burned the stove and closed the door, but the room is still warm. When I came to the yard, I saw smoke rising from the chimneys protruding from other houses in the village.
This is not a stove, but the chimney of the stove. You can see it coming out. Everyone has entered the season of burning fire to keep warm.
Because it was too wet and cold outside, Wang Fang kept a tight eye on the little guy and wouldn't let him out at all.
The little guy was still angry at first, but his anger subsided after a while, and grandma shouted at Wang Fang.
"Zhang An, if you have anything wrong, come with me to Sanqing Temple to find Taoist Zhang."
In the drizzle, Yan Peifeng ran over very happily.
"It's okay. Did Uncle Yan meet a happy event today?"
On weekdays, Yan Peifeng always looked sad because of his daughter's affairs.
Even when he smiles and greets people, the corners of his mouth are just slightly raised.
But this is the first time Zhang An has seen him like this in a long time.
"Haha, I found the thing missing from the prescription."
When Zhang An asked about it, Yan Peifeng said very excitedly.
He didn't say centipede directly because Wang Fang and Xiao Siqi were still nearby.
“If you hadn’t reminded me to look for it in those Miao villages, I might not have a clue right now. Don’t worry, our family will thank you very much.”
“ Did you really find it? Uncle Yan, come on, take me to have a look."
When Yan Peifeng said that the three-hundred-legged centipede had been found, Zhang An suddenly became confused.
At that time, he just wanted to let Yan Peifeng give it a try, but he didn't actually have high hopes.
Space is already magical enough, but after cultivating it for so long and investing so much spiritual spring crystal dew, he still hasn’t cultivated one, which already shows how rare this thing is.
If it really exists out there, it is definitely a rare thing and cannot be found so easily.
So at this moment, Zhang An really wanted to see what the three hundred-legged centipede looked like, even if it was dry.
“Let’s go, let’s go to my place.”
Yan Peifeng immediately took Zhang An back to Dongli Courtyard.
When he arrived at Yan Qian's house, Zhang An said hello to Mei Jingya and Yan Qian's mother and daughter, and followed Yan Peifeng to the study on the second floor.
"Here, this is it. It was just delivered this morning."
In the study, Yan Peifeng took out a large wooden box from the cabinet.
Originally Zhang An was looking forward to it, but when he saw the wooden box, he frowned.
Nothing else, because although this wooden box is quite big, it is only 70 to 80 centimeters and less than one meter in length.
So the contents inside will definitely be shorter.
As Yan Peifeng opened the wooden box, a huge centipede appeared in front of them.
But it’s not fresh, but a prepared dried centipede.
"Uncle Yan, although this centipede is big, it certainly doesn't have three hundred legs."
Zhang An looked at it for a while and slowly said to Yan Peifeng.
Although this centipede is very big, it is only over two feet tall at most, which is shorter than Zhang An originally thought. The wooden box is still quite empty.
And the most important thing is that this centipede has no legs, only the two front whiskers and the last two hind legs, and the entire trunk is bare.
If it were others, they might not be able to tell, but Zhang An was no stranger to this stuff.
There is a big guy in his space that is over one meter long, with a hundred and three pairs of legs.
And there are even more ones that are more than two feet long. Some of the dead centipedes he collected last time were longer than this one.
“Such a big centipede doesn’t even have three hundred legs?”
After hearing Zhang An's words, Yan Peifeng was stunned.
"What did the person who sent it say? Did he say how many legs this centipede has?"
Zhang An did not answer, but asked a question.
"That's not true. I just said there must be hundreds of them, but I didn't give an exact number. I have never seen such a big one. I thought there should be one, so I just accepted it."
< br>Yan Peifeng thought about what he told Zhang An.
"Uncle Yan, I'm sure that there are definitely not three hundred in this one, only two hundred at most, or even less."
Zhang An said to Yan Peifeng with great certainty , because this centipede is also a red-headed centipede, but compared to the ones in his space, the dark green on the body is not dark enough, and the red on the head is not deep enough.
"Zhang An, have you ever seen such a big centipede?"
Seeing that Zhang An was so sure, Yan Peifeng opened his eyes and asked.
"Yes, Uncle Yan, I have indeed seen it, because I also have one there. It is larger than yours and is very well preserved. But it is only about two hundred years old and far away. Less than three hundred.”
Since Yan Peifeng asked, Zhang An also said it directly, which also laid the groundwork for the future.
At the same time, in order to prevent Yan Peifeng from misunderstanding, he specially explained.
"It's bigger than this one? Then take me to see it?"
Hearing that it was bigger than the one in front of him, Yan Peifeng's eyes widened even more.
"Of course. It was originally given to Qian Qian, but it was less than three hundred, so I didn't take it out."
Zhang An did not hesitate and readily agreed.
So the two of them rushed from Dongli courtyard to Zhang An's house.
Arriving on the second floor, Zhang An also took Yan Peifeng into the study.
"Uncle Yan, wait for me, I will take it out. Because I am worried that my family will be frightened if I find out, I hide it more secretly."
Those centipedes have been concocted. But it was still in the space, so Zhang An found an excuse.
"That's the truth. I hid it because I was afraid of scaring Sissi and her mother."
Yan Peifeng understood very well, because he did the same thing.
Then Zhang An came to the bedroom before entering the space.
After taking out one of the dried centipedes that was over two feet long, Zhang An also found a wooden box to put it in like Yan Peifeng did.
Fortunately, he had made a lot of wooden boxes in the space to store ginseng, otherwise he would definitely not be able to find them now.
"Uncle Yan, look, this is the one I collected."
Entering the study, Zhang An also opened the wooden box for Yan Peifeng to see.
“Hiss, this one is more than ten centimeters longer than mine, and the cries are actually very complete.”
Although Zhang An said it just now, he had prepared his thoughts in advance. He was prepared, but now that he saw it, Yan Peifeng was still surprised.
