Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 98 The dog brings the man here

Li Muyang carefully placed his niece on the edge, and used his feet to block the dog Xiao Xingfu who also almost fell into the tree pit.

This guy has grown a lot in less than a month.

Lively as hell.

Since Nuan Nuan came, it likes Nuan Nuan very much. It almost follows Nuan Nuan wherever it goes. It is simply Nuan Nuan's amulet.

little bodyguard.

As it gradually grows in size, you can basically tell its breed. It should be a cross between Tibetan Mastiff and Langqing.

Both dog breeds are very ferocious dogs. I wonder if they can evolve strongly when combined together.

In comparison, the Tibetan Mastiff's brain is not flexible enough, so it cannot be used for much purpose.

But Langqing is very capable in all aspects, and some people even use Langqing as hunting dogs.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"Wang Wang!"

Little Happiness was pushed away by his feet and was obviously unhappy. He jumped and protested at Li Muyang's feet, his little tail wagging back and forth like a little briquette.

"Nuan Nuan, uncle is working. Let's go play with the puppy."

"Hehe, let me help you work together, uncle."

"It's not necessary. If you don't trip under my uncle's feet, you will be doing him a big favor. Look at how dangerous the hoe and shovel are. If they hit you and you are injured, you should go to the pharmacy for an injection."

"Ah, I don't dare to take an injection. It hurts."

"If you know it hurts, you must obey."

Nuannuan pursed her lips, lowered her head and stopped talking.

Li Muyang saw this and smiled helplessly. He had no choice but to insert the shovel into the ground nearby, stepped forward and hugged Nuan Nuan, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with us Nuan Nuan? Are we unhappy?"

"Well, not happy."

"Why?"

"The fifth uncle said Nuannuan was disobedient."

Li Muyang was dumbfounded.

Although Nuan Nuan is just his niece, he feels like he is a relative from another generation.

Seeing this pink and tender little girl, I couldn't help but feel sad.

"That's what uncle said. Nuannuan has always been obedient and is the smartest four-year-old child in the world."

"Really?"

Nuannuan played with the collar of Li Muyang's clothes.

"Of course it's true. Look at when uncle has deceived people."

"Then...why doesn't my dad like me?"

Li Muyang was stunned for a moment.

I didn't know how to answer, so I had to find other reasons to excuse myself.

In the eyes of everyone, Liu Xiaogang is not a good person, but in the eyes of his children, no matter what, he is their father.

She couldn't figure out why her father did that.

After finally coaxing Nuannuan and Xiaozizi away, Li Muyang continued planting jujube trees.

He counted and found that there were sixteen jujube saplings in total. If they could all survive, they would be sixteen jujube trees.

If he's lucky, the fruit will be ready in two or three years. By then, his land and the ridges of Taoshan will no longer be covered with weeds, but a row of green jujube trees.

A jujube tree produces more than 100 kilograms of dates every year, which is equivalent to one hundred kilograms.

According to the market price, a pound of dates is about one yuan, which can be sold for more than 100 yuan.

Sixteen jujube trees can be sold for more than 1000 yuan.

Not to mention too much, more than 1000 yuan is enough to buy food for the whole year.

You can eat white noodles every meal, and you no longer have to worry about running out of noodles.Of course, this is the ideal model.

In fact, when jujube trees are planted, the survival rate cannot be [-]%, and jujube trees may not always bear fruit in the past few years, and even if they bear fruit, it may not necessarily mean a high yield.

Some jujube trees develop very slowly. In the first few years, they may only have dozens or even several kilograms of dates.

That's a discount for the harvest.

Anyway, I just got a thousand dollars.

And planting jujube trees was just a random choice among all the fruits he had.

In his future plans, he has no plans to plant jujube trees on a large scale.

If you only grow some edible fruits, then you can grow any fruits. But if you want to grow them as cash crops, you must not only see whether the fruits are delicious, but also whether they can be sold on a large scale and what the transportation costs are.

Unlike people in later generations who gradually became familiar with the blood-tonifying function of jujubes and thus became a tonic fruit, people in this era did not eat jujubes on a large scale.

Therefore, dates cannot be sold all over the world like apples, plums, peaches and other fruits.

Perhaps the jujube industry will be developed in the future, but it is not considered within the scope now.

He worked until late at night before planting all the jujube saplings, washed them casually and went to bed.

I have to continue digging Cordyceps the next day.

His energy is almost limitless and he feels no fatigue.

Originally from a farmer, others may find work tiring, but he likes to work and is born to be tired.

Working makes him very fulfilled and very happy.

Seeing my hard-working hands harvesting more and more, I feel so good, and I can eat half a bowl more at every meal.
.
In a blink of an eye, it was two days.

On May [-]rd of the lunar calendar, a group of people continued to dig cordyceps in the mountains.

Yongzhong went to school today, and there were only five adults digging.

After several days of practice, the eldest brother and sister-in-law and the second brother and sister-in-law have become much more proficient in their skills. Although they are still not as fast as Li Muyang, their speed is infinitely close.

In just half a day's work, everyone dug nearly thirty roots, and Li Muyang only dug less than forty.

As the number of people increased, they lined up all the way and gradually reached the top of the mountain.When digging Cordyceps, you need to advance forward in rounds.

In the first round, we gradually dug from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, and then we went back and started digging again on the mountainside. The second wave of Cordyceps just started to grow.

This is because there are few of them.

If there are more people, this cycle is obviously not enough, so the mining will be temporarily stopped in the middle and restarted after a week.

According to the nature of Cordyceps, by late May, it will basically have no effect and the worm will completely turn into grass.

Lose the medicinal effect of cordyceps.

The sun was high in the sky, and everyone was hungry. They found a place under the shade of a tree to sit around and eat together.

Li Muyang still brought steamed buns and a few green chili peppers.

At this time, the green chili is eaten on steamed buns and is very fragrant.

People in Longdong are actually very good at eating chili peppers, and the taste here tends to be sour and spicy.

The most representative one is spicy red noodles with vinegar.

The chili peppers of spicy red noodles are very red. When eating spicy red noodles, no matter how it tastes, people will first lift the vinegar pot and add some vinegar to it.

So if you see Longdong people eating noodles, you will basically see this scene.

Now is the peak season for green chili peppers. When eating, you only need to bite off the heads of the chili peppers, pour some salt into them, shake them, and then you can bite into them.

Many people who work out of town eat this way.

Li Muyang is no exception.

But today Milanlan made Yuqian rice and invited everyone to eat together.

Yuqian rice in the north is different from Yuqian rice in the south.

If you go to the south, the so-called Yuqian rice is to cook the prepared Yuqian and rice together and put it in the rice cooker.

After it comes out, add some salt and you can eat it.

However, the cooking method of Yuqian rice in the north is basically similar to that of acacia flower dumplings.The sugar content of acacia flower is too high and it is easy to get tired of eating it. Yuqian rice is much better, it has more of a refreshing fragrance.

Yuqian can be eaten raw.

In the early years, when the elm flowers bloomed every year, the children in the village would climb up to the tall elm trees, break off a large branch full of elm flowers, carry it on their shoulders, and eat while playing, and they had a great time. .

There are also some children who like to use elm coins to make water to drink.

But in fact, Yuqian often contains many bugs. When cooking, salt is added to kill the bugs, but when eaten raw, handfuls are put into the mouth, regardless of whether there are bugs or not.

People in the countryside don’t care so much about what they eat.

Unlike people in the city who eat, they also have to wash themselves cleanly.

People in the countryside pluck a radish from the vegetable field, rub the leaves with the mud, and then eat it directly. They pick tomatoes, rub them with their hands and put them in their mouths.

It seems that there is no problem.

What everyone often says is that if you eat it, you won’t get sick if it is unclean.

There is no bad stomach either.

In the city, people wash themselves several times before eating, but they often suffer from diarrhea. Who can explain this?

Milanlan's Yuqian rice tastes very good.

Everyone ate the cold vegetables and ate them up quickly.

Li Muyang looked at the time, it was 12:19 noon, and said to rest for a few more 10 minutes and start working on time at 13:[-].

Several people lay on the hillside and slept on the ground.

Cover your face with a straw hat.

Perhaps because they were too tired, everyone fell asleep quickly.

Milanlan was too fat and was lying on her back, so she snored.

Even though it was a wild environment, the snoring was still deafening.

There was an echo.

Li Muyang saw that everyone was sleeping, so he stayed awake. He squinted at the sun in the sky, felt the gentle mountain breeze, and closed his eyes to rest.

Just when he was feeling comfortable, he suddenly heard several dogs barking.

He was suddenly startled and sat up in excitement.

There were very few people coming and going on this top of the mountain, so naturally no dogs would come.

If you hear a dog barking now, it means someone is coming.

The sound of dogs barking seemed to come from the mountainside behind.

He stood up hurriedly, ran quickly to hide behind a tree, and looked down the mountainside.

On the mountain road, there were four or five people running quickly towards the top of the mountain.

There were two dogs running in front of everyone, and it looked like they were Lang Qing.

As the dog ran, he sniffed around and barked in the direction of the top of the mountain from time to time. The destination was most likely Li Muyang.

Li Muyang was secretly surprised.

Could these people be the team detecting the location of Cordyceps.

Human eyes may not be able to detect Cordyceps for the time being, but dogs' noses are very good, especially the wolf green that runs in the mountains, and its sense of smell is not inferior to that of wild boars and jackals.

According to the speed of these people, they should reach the top of the mountain in less than 10 minutes.

Li Muyang hurried back and woke everyone up.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, someone is coming, let's go down the mountain quickly."

Li Mutian and others were awakened from their confusion. They were still confused about the situation for a while. Li Muyang said hurriedly: "Someone brought a dog to search the mountain. I don't know where they are. If they are from Chi County, we will It’s dangerous, so you have to leave quickly.”

After saying this, Li Mutian and others immediately understood.

The people of Chi County and Qingcheng were already incompatible with each other. If Li Muyang and the others were discovered secretly digging Cordyceps here, they would definitely fight.
