Chapter 221 Low-key life

Liu Junhao did not dare to delay and immediately rode his horse back to the village. He almost went door to door.

Things were much bigger than he thought. After hearing that after digging the things from his ancestors by the river, all the idle people in the village rushed over and they never had such a meeting.

When Liu Junhao came over again, he could not squeeze in and could only ride on the horse from a distance. He could vaguely hear Mr. Liu Wu say: "In the past, the older generation said that our village was first built on the river beach. Later, the river often flooded, and the village was flooded several times before it was renovated to its current place. It is said that there is a large stone tablet nearby, which is about Liu Erwa, the ancestor of our Liujiagou. There was also a family tree, which recorded it on it. Unfortunately, the four olds were destroyed and burned in more than 6 years..."

There is really a family tree, and Liu Junhao was stunned when he heard it. He always thought that the generations of Liujiagou were just passed down from generation to generation by oral expression. Unfortunately, it was burned long ago and there is no chance to see them again now.

To be honest, not many of the younger generation want to hear Liu Wu's talk about ancient times. Although Liu Erwa was an ancestor, it was more than 20 generations away, and that little relationship had long faded.

Most people think about digging the stone slabs quickly to see what good things are in the well.

After the old people confirmed one by one, everyone agreed to dig a well to take a look. Of course, this time it was much more grand than before. Before excavation, burn yellow paper to worship the ancestors.

All the men present in Liujiagou lined up in several rows according to their seniority, and then kowtowed by the person with the highest seniority.

"It's really like it's purely superstitious. Xiaohao, don't you think so?" Liu Junliang next to him whispered.

Before Liu Junhao could speak, Liu Junliang's son, Liu Laosan, had already hit his head with a crisp chestnut: "You kid, don't talk nonsense..."

This guy immediately became honest and followed behind with his eyebrows down and his eyes pleasing to him.

In fact, Liu Junliang's words represent the ideas of most young people. They think that the affairs of these ancestors are too far apart, and they can count on their fingers for hundreds of years.

Besides, the tomb of the ancestors had long been washed away by the flood, and now they were beating against a large stone slab. The stone was not his ancestor. However, with Liu Junliang's example, no one dared to raise objections now.

After kowtowing, he burned incense one by one. After a while, the incense burner was filled with incense burner.

After all the procedures were completed, Liu Guangju asked a few young men to lift the big stone slab. This time Liu Junhao also came forward to help.

After the large stone slab was lifted, people were disappointed. The ancient well had already collapsed, and there was no other thing at the wellhead except for a large pile of blue bricks and sludge.

Thinking about it, the well has been abandoned for hundreds of years, and it has changed a lot. It is very good to maintain this way.

After the old people came forward to check again, they continued to excavate. Heavy Mawu bricks were moved out, and the space underground gradually expanded. However, as the space extended, people's disappointment became greater and greater. The ancestors did not leave anything good for future generations in the well.

"What do you think this is?" At this time, Liu Qihua suddenly discovered a blue thing in the soil.

After hearing what he called, everyone was energetic and came to the edge of the pit to watch.

When this thing was unearthed, I lost interest again. It was just a piece of rusty, broken copper piece that was not visible. It was circulated in the hands of the old people and was thrown to the ground.

"Let me see..." Mr. Wang is a knowledgeable person. He came up to him and looked at him for a few seconds and said, "This should be the ancient ruffled bronze mirror. People used this kind of mirror to comb their hair."

I heard it was a bronze mirror, so several old men hurriedly placed it on the table to offer it... This is very likely used by their ancestors.

Then many broken jars and jars were dug out. Mr. Wang's speculation was made of well-drawing water. However, these rotten jars were very roughly made, no difference from those in the waste kiln next to the woods, and had no collection value.

After busy for a long time, no valuable thing was dug out except for the half bronze mirror. Everyone was unwilling to give up and searched around again, but they did not find the stone tablet that Master Liu Wu said.

But this matter was not over, and several old men began to prepare for a ancestral hall.

The matter of building a ancestral hall cannot be accomplished overnight, so I can only do it slowly.

Zhang Qian just came home from school and heard about this. She kept complaining that she was not there at the scene at that time and said that she must go over and take a look if she has time. It is best to take a few photos.

"What's the best thing? I didn't dig out anything, but I dug half a bronze mirror, and it was still rusted." Liu Junhao gave up on her idea.

In fact, the matter about the ancestors of the Liu family was only a few days of lively life, and few people mentioned it later except for the older generation.

Life is still as usual. Zhang Qian took advantage of her free time and went to Liu Wumi's house to learn to dry sweet potatoes. She prepared very well and specially brought a notebook to record the steps.

After figuring out all the steps, she began to experiment at home with great enthusiasm.

Zhang Qian was busy, so Liu Junhao naturally would not be idle. He picked up a lot of smaller sweet sweet potatoes early on and washed them into the pot. According to his wife, only tender sweet potatoes can be made into dilute sugar. The sweet potatoes made in this way are delicious.

Liu Junhao naturally didn't believe it, it was the same joke that her little nephew made.

Last time Xiaozeyu came, Liu Junhao handed him a big sweet potato, but he didn't know that this guy was not satisfied and insisted on giving a small one to Jianhui.

I originally thought I knew how to let Kong Rong give pears, but who knew that the little guy said, "The big one is old and not delicious." At that time, it almost made everyone laugh.

However, small sweet potatoes are also beneficial and are easy to cook. Liu Junhao is on the temptation, while Zhang Qian is watching the time.

It took more than an hour to steam a pot of sweet potatoes, and the water in the pot was almost dried.

I thought that Zhang Qian was a raw man, so the sweet potato would definitely not be able to make the sugar. I didn’t expect it to be very effective. The skin of the sweet potato was thin and a little transparent, so I could clearly feel the water boiled inside.

Liu Junhao picked up one with chopsticks and put it in his wife's bowl, then he also made one himself, endured the heat of burning his mouth and stuffed it into his mouth. The sticky sweet potato candy suddenly rushes into his mouth with a boiling hot pot, full of sweetness.

I don’t need to chew my teeth at all. Just lick it with my tongue a few times, and the sweetness has penetrated into my abdomen and lungs, and it’s really delicious.

After eating a sweet potato, Liu Junhao felt that his stomach was full of sweetness and his sweat and pores were relaxed.

He smacked his lips and took another one out of the pot.

"How is it? I just said it's worth spending more effort?" Zhang Qian also felt very accomplished when she saw how delicious he was eating.

"Well, it's worth eating yourself, but you won't want to do this every day, right? It took us almost two hours to eat half a pot of sweet potatoes. There were thousands of kilograms of them in the backyard."

Liu Junhao said casually, and his wife immediately became depressed.

The dried sweet potatoes made in this way are delicious, but they are a bit troublesome. If you continue to do this method in front of you, you probably won’t finish it in one day.

When the sweet potatoes were cool, Liu Junhao placed them on the chopping board and peeled them one by one and cut them into strips.

While the weather is good, put the sweet potatoes in a dustpan and dry them. In order to prevent flies, a layer of window screen was specially covered on it.

At this point, the production of dried sweet potatoes is mostly done. What you need to do below is to occasionally turn over the dried sweet potatoes and change positions so that everyone can fully enjoy the nourishment of the sun. The drying time of dried sweet potatoes must be well controlled. The drying time is too short and the moisture has not evaporated, and it is easy to get moldy when stored. If the time is too long, the dried sweet potatoes will become very hard and the taste will be very poor.

After drying, frost is applied, which means putting the dried sweet potatoes into the jar and sealing for half a month. A layer of milky white frost will naturally grow on the surface of the sweet potatoes, which is the sparse sugar that overflows inside.

After steaming two pots of sweet potatoes, Zhang Qian lost her energy and no longer mentioned the bold words of selling dried sweet potatoes.

As for the things that were exposed to the upper floor, they were left to Liu Junhao for treatment, saying that they were left to eat at home.

Liu Junhao churned the sweet potatoes upstairs for a long time, and then went back to the house to rest.

Just after I was online for a while, the phone rang.

He didn't hear anyone's voice at first, and he didn't recall until he introduced himself: it was the client introduced by Dr. Wang last time, named Ma Jun, who opened a hotel in the city. He gave him a business card at that time.

"Boss Liu, let me tell you a good news..." After the greetings, Ma Jun began to talk about the serious matters. "Last time I bought a few kilograms of eels from you to entertain guests, and the guests were very satisfied after eating them. Later, we found that your eels were identified by friends from the aquatic products department..."

Halfway through, this guy suddenly paused.

"What's wrong with me?" Liu Junhao asked immediately. He was not worried about the side effects of the eel after eating it. After all, after taking it for so long, he had no physical problems at all, and instead became better and better.

What he was worried about was that people who were engaged in aquatic products had developed abnormal things and caused a sensation at that time, and his stone lock might be exposed.

This is contrary to the comfortable life he expected. He has always insisted on being a low-key person, doing things in a low-key manner, and making money in a low-key manner...

"The identification result is that although you are domestically raised, you have maintained the living habits and quality of wild eels to the greatest extent possible... Why did you not respond?" Ma Jun said for a long time, but found that there was no happy at all on the other end of the phone.

"Oh... I wait, what else?" Liu Junhao came to his senses. He had known about the quality of the eels raised in the backyard. How could the quality be bad after soaking in spring water? Otherwise, how could there be so many repeat customers?

However, there is a good appraisal, which was recognized by an authoritative department.

"Our hotel wants to cooperate with Boss Liu for a long time, the eels you raise..."

"Stop, I have no intention of expanding breeding for the time being." As soon as Ma Jun was halfway through his words, he was stopped by Liu Junhao. He had heard the following words many times.

"Haha, I have heard from Dr. Wang about this. I just made a suggestion. If you want to cooperate in the future, just call me. In addition, prepare ten kilograms of your eel for me, and I will pick it up tomorrow..."
