Build a farm from the mountains

Chapter 233

It was getting dark, Wu Hao took down the birdcage, and teased Xiao Feijiu out with worms to look into the nest.

Sure enough, four eggs were laid, which were bigger than the thumbnail by visual inspection, and he was so bored, how could such a small bird lay four eggs.

Go into the house and hang the soil basket and birdcage on the roof to guard against fat, watch TV and sleep after eating.

The next morning, after eating, I went to lie down on the kang.

Xiaodoubao put down his rice bowl and walked around his elder brother with his little hands behind his back. After ten laps, he became a little confused. He stepped on his stomach twice, then stood up and lowered his head and asked, "When are we going?"

Wu Hao's eight-pack abs don't care about her weight at all, and she often let her younger sister step on it, and replied: "I have something to do today, let's go tomorrow."

"Really?" Xiaodoubao gave him a contemptuous look, afraid of being fooled.

Wu Hao smiled and said, "I'll take you to the county seat today."

Xiaodoubao was still a little disappointed at first, but when he heard the county seat was taken aback, he reacted and said, "Let's go, let's go."

She slipped under the kang while lying on her stomach. She grew a lot taller and didn't need a small bench, but she still had to get down on her stomach.

I was so happy to be able to go to the county seat, and I was very eager to jump around on the ground with my shoes on.

Knowing that her son was going to buy a refrigerator, Gao Lijuan handed him the key and said, "Buy some wheat bran, so many pigs can't always feed corn noodles."

"Yeah." Wu Hao took the key and went into the back room to get the money, then came out and returned the key to his mother to lead his sister into the car.

The straight line distance of the county seat is less than two hundred miles, and the mountain road has eighteen bends, so the distance is farther.

He drove to the village and asked for a few tickets before going to the county seat.

The car speeded up on the highway, and Xiaodoubao sat very honestly. She stretched her neck and looked forward, muttering: "Fly, fly~"

Even if there are mountains and forests on both sides, she still feels very novel, because it is the first time to take such a fast car.

When I got to the county town, my eyes were not enough. I got out of the car and looked at the five-story building in front of me and exclaimed: "Wow! It's so tall!"

Wu Hao picked up his younger sister to go shopping. In fact, the current county is not much stronger than the town, with more buildings and larger areas.

I went around and bought ten catties of pork to feed the golden eagle and Damao Ermao. After two days, I will go to the mountain to hunt two wild boars. The family consumes a lot of meat, and there will be no supply without hunting wild boars.

Buy a refrigerator, a small pick for planing small garlic, and a sickle for cutting corn stalks in autumn.

Bought a set of summer clothes and straw hats for everyone in the family, and bought some bran and bran.

Finally came to the place where the fruit trees were sold.

The proprietress seems to be a very neat person, she was attracted by the kid with the straw hat at first sight.

Bending down to see her face clearly, she said in surprise, "Oh! Whose little girl is so good-looking?"

Xiaodoubao raised her straw hat and raised her head. For a woman of her age, she called "Auntie" and replied, "I'm from the old Wu family."

After rolling his eyes, he said, "I don't have a name, my name is Xiaodoubao."

She now knows whether to use four characters as a name.

The proprietress smiled, and couldn't help reaching out to touch that fair and chubby little face and said, "You really look like a bean bag if you are smaller."

"Why is this child raised so well?"

Xiaodoubao raised her head and replied, "Eat!"

"Hahaha~" This kid is so funny, the proprietress smiled for a while before turning around and asking, "What kind of sapling did you buy?"

Wu Hao replied: "Tell me the truth, how are these saplings? Well, I'll buy a few more. The fruit of some trees is too astringent, and they don't taste good after planting. It's a waste of time to cut them down."

Ask this, can people tell the truth?Isn't Lao Wang selling melons and boasting?
Not necessarily, depending on the person, but also who is asking.

The proprietress smiled and said, "Let me tell you the truth, the fruit grown in the past two years tastes good, and someone came to buy saplings again."

"My saplings are still of the same species. After two years, I really don't know if the new saplings can produce delicious fruits. There are not many left now."

"Just the same variety is delicious." Wu Hao said the quantity: "Twenty apples, plums, cherries, and sand fruits each, and five vines."

What he wants to eat most is sand fruit, which is more delicious than crabapple fruit. There is only one sand fruit tree in the whole village, and the old lady sits under the tree and watches to prevent the children from picking it.

At his age, he was too embarrassed to ask for more. These saplings were not worth as much as half a small wild boar.

Buy them back and let the children in the village eat whatever they want. There are wild fruits in autumn, but most of them grow in the deep mountains.

The dense forest is too dangerous. Few people pick it in the village. There are some wild fruit trees nearby that are not enough for children to eat. Fruit trees are not worth much.

He is not short of this little money, so why look at a bunch of children with greedy expressions, as long as these little guys can help him weed in the future.

After the proprietress selected the saplings, he took a look at them and paid for them. He drove the car with his sister in his arms, loaded the saplings, and left.

The proprietress looked at the car and exclaimed: "Oh! This child really was eaten!"

The car may belong to the unit, but the refrigerator and food in the car are definitely bought by individuals, and [-]% of them are bought by the little girl's family.

The price of the refrigerator is three years' wages, the little girl's family is definitely rich, otherwise who would be willing to work for three or four years to buy a refrigerator?
Wu Hao drove home and asked everyone to help unload the car, and gained some envy, but compared to the car and the house, they were not so surprised.

Da Zhang took down the fruit saplings and asked, "Why do you buy so much? These fruits are worthless."

Wu Hao pointed to the east side of the old house: "The ditch machine digs holes and plants them all, and let the children eat whatever they want in the future."

"Exquisite!" Da Zhang nodded heavily.

The same is true for other people, Wu Hao is definitely good enough for Tunzi, this time the child doesn't have to steal the fruit to eat.

If all the saplings could survive, the entire village would not be able to eat so many fruits.

It rained the next day, and it took more than half a month for this rain to come. It was light rain but it rained for a whole day.

Heavy rain is not as good as light rain to moisten things silently. After this light rain, the roads are muddy and we cannot work. Everyone has a day off.

Xiaodoubao sat on the kang pouting and "arranged" with the matryoshka. The little garlic was not scratched. On the third day, she put on a straw hat and looked at her elder brother on the ground.

Wu Hao went into the house to get a gun and more than a dozen packs of clips, went out to the barn, put the pick and sickle into the basket, and then led the dog and the mink to leave.

Now is the time to dig small garlic. Two days after a rain, they increase rapidly.

There are not many ditches in the field, and the ones near the village have been dug up, and there are the most land. He took the dog to dig wild vegetables at the edge of the forest in the south, where there were more.

It was several miles away, but Xiaodoubao didn't feel tired, and was in a very good mood, wearing a flowered dress.

Carrying his own little soil basket in his hand, he bounced forward and sang a nursery rhyme: "It's raining heavily, and a call from the border asks me to be a soldier. I think I'm too big to run away."

Big Tongue sang so fast, Wu Hao could only vaguely hear half of it. He taught the nursery rhymes, but he couldn't understand them.

"Sudden ~"

Just two meters away, a bird flew out of nowhere, and landed in a field a hundred meters away.

"Aiya!" Xiaodoubao was startled out of fear, and he was relieved when he saw it was a bird.

"Quail." Wu Hao recognized what kind of bird it was, and it was willing to lie down on the grassland, and was more willing to enter deep trenches and ditches.

He wears clips just to shoot birds, because of his addiction, men are young until they die, and many people in their 30s also love to shoot birds.

Quails don't gather together, but they gather together in a field. There are not only half a catty of sand in Daxing'an Mountains, but also a lot of quails.

One is fried and eaten, and the other is eaten by burning. The taste of the meat is not much worse than that of the old thief.

He took out a medicine bottle and poured out the worms. There were eyes on the lid of the medicine bottle, and there were corn stalks inside. The worms couldn't die, and they were all picked up two days ago.

The quails were very fast along the furrows, and the one that flew away would land near its companions. He asked his sister and the dog to wait by the side of the road.

When he entered the field, he could see four or five quail running southward, and some of them would cross the ridges and change ditches. He dug the soil with clips, opened the clips and buried only worms.

Use soil to block the furrows on both sides of the clamp, so that when the quail runs fast, it is as if they are blind and cannot see the insects.

Block the only way, and it will be able to see it when it can't run, and it will scream when it sees a bug, without hesitation at all.

After putting down the trap, I carried my sister on my back to lead the dogs around in circles. I had to run in front of them quickly, otherwise the quail would disappear quickly.

When quail see someone far away in the west, they will subconsciously go east and cross the ridge. When they see someone going south, they will run north and will not take off easily.

Wu Hao stood on the south side for a while, and ignored the quails a few meters in front of the trap. There were seven or eight quails, at least half of them could be hunted.

If he wanted, he could wipe them all out, but he didn't want to run around in circles with his sister on his back, the little girl was very heavy and too tired.

There are not only small roots of garlic in the fields and forests, but also mother-in-law ding, scientific name: dandelion, sweet and slightly bitter, can be eaten raw, stir-fried, and made into soup.

Thorny buds, also known as: Thorn dragon buds, are known as "the king of wild vegetables" and "ginseng on trees".

You can scramble eggs, or fried meat, pickled, dumplings.

Celery can also make dumplings.It can be dipped in sauce and fried.

In the Northeast, all wild vegetables can be eaten with dipping sauce.

There is a joke that people in the Northeast can eat two acres of forest with a bag of soybean paste, but it is not that exaggerated
When Wu Hao saw the small garlic, he used a small pick to dig down a few centimeters in front of it. Some of these things were deep and some were shallow.

When encountering wild vegetables, use a sickle to cut them. There are several kinds of wild vegetables in the surrounding area, and many people will come to dig vegetables in a few days.

Xiaodoubao only carried a small soil basket, and she picked it up when her eldest brother dug out a small garlic root, and forgot to eat it last year.

Foodies instinctively peel off the outer skin, dig out the garlic root with fingernails, and when it is clean, bite off the garlic and start chewing.

Wu Hao turned around when he heard the voice and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Xiaodoubao frowned and held her mouth: "It's a bit spicy."

Then she picked up another one and continued to eat.

It is true that you can eat anything but bitterness.

If she eats two, Wu Hao will not let her eat it. The small root garlic is not very spicy, but the child can't keep eating it with an empty mouth. Other dishes need to be washed at home before eating.

After digging wild vegetables for two hours, the basket was already full, so he led his sister and the dog back to the clamp to have a look.

After killing five quails and three small birds, they took the clips out of the soil and carried them home directly.

The next day, he led Wu Meng with his gun and grenades to drive, and took the mountain road driven by wild boars from the village, and went into the barren hills to hunt.

There are few weeds and bushes in the barren mountains, so danger can be avoided as much as possible. There is a small river in front of this road, which can pass in winter.

Now I can only walk more than 40 miles, that is to say, I can only go here by driving a horse-drawn cart to collect mountain goods, and I can go further on foot.

A wild boar can be eaten for a month. After a few days of eating and drinking, the remaining meat can be put in the refrigerator and stewed once in a while.

Some forests are dense, and he doesn't want to go in and hunt other animals. Hunting in winter is a relatively safe season. He usually digs wild vegetables at home, shoots birds, raises animals, and watches melon fields.

After entering the mountain twice, the furniture of the new house is almost ready, and we can move in in a few days.

At this time, not only the melons could be sold, but after August, he had to go into the forest to pick mountain goods and carry ginseng to fight the famine.
