Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 95 Niulan Mountain

Xu Deyong left Dongzhimen, crossed the Liangma River, crossed the Bahe River and rode northeast along the road.

There are many people walking on the road, including those driving livestock carts, carrying burdens, pushing wheelbarrows, pulling platoon carts...

Most of them have dark skin, their faces are weather-beaten, and some of their hands are so cold that their wounds have become chapped.

In any era, the sincere and honest people at the bottom have to sweat more for every penny they earn.

When the wind blows, they are most vulnerable...

In comparison, the "fully armed" Xu Deyong is already much better.

The wheels of the tricycle rolled over the ground, bumping from time to time, and the wine jar on the tricycle made a gentle shaking sound.

With extraordinary strength, Xu Deyong can easily pass his legs and drive the chain forward...

He kept a constant speed, constantly crossing and passing people around him, and stopped near the Wenyu River Bridge without stopping.

The river is frozen, and the dry yellow reeds are connected to the hay, and the scene is desolate.

An old man drove a donkey cart and walked slowly past him. When he saw the wine jar he was pulling, he couldn't help but licked his lips and said: "Young man, where did you get the wine from? Can you sell it?" Two taels will satisfy the old man's greed."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Uncle, I am pulling an empty jar. I am going to Niulan Mountain to pull wine."

"Hey, it's not a short road, let's go."

As he spoke, he raised his whip and made a "pop" sound, and the little donkey sped up a little faster.

Xu Deyong raised his hand and looked at the time. It was a little after eleven o'clock, and the journey should be halfway over.

He took out the kettle and took a sip of water. The water was already cold, like a line of cold water entering his stomach.

Perhaps the sound of the old man's whip caused two pheasants to fly out from the reeds.

Xu Deyong's eyes lit up, and his gun hadn't fired a single shot yet!

So he rode across the bridge, parked the three-wheeled scooter on the dirt road next to it, and looked around, but there was no one around.

As soon as he held his hand, the air gun appeared in his hand. He opened it and inserted the lead bullet. Xu Deyong hunched over and sneaked towards the place where the pheasant settled.

With sharp eyes, he soon discovered the traces of the pheasant and cautiously approached to about 20 meters away.

Lifting the gun and aiming, Xu Deyong's hand was very steady. In his previous life, before his leg was broken, he had played in a shooting club several times.

"puff."

The lead shot came out and the first shot felt good, it hit.

"Flickering."

The pheasant dropped a few pieces of feathers and flew away again in fright. The injured one panicked and landed on the ice not far away.

Xu Deyong immediately reloaded the bullet quickly, ignoring the other one. He jumped out a few meters, squatted on the ground, took aim and fired!
"puff."

This time there was a bit of a rush, and the lead bullets bounced off the ice without a trace.

The frightened pheasant crawled twice on the ice and then flew up, leaving little traces of blood on the spot.

Xu Deyong pushed aside the dry reeds and reloaded his ammunition, quickly catching up to the ice.

Relying on his extraordinary physique, Xu Deyong is still very fast on the ice.

The pheasant flew more than ten meters and landed. It was obviously unsteady on the ice. It had nowhere to escape on the ice.

Xu Deyong stopped aiming again and fired.

"puff."

The pheasant paused slightly, then started to flutter.

Xu Deyong smiled and ran over to catch the pheasant that had fluttered a few meters away.

The pheasant was still alive, a female, with blood oozing from its neck and wings.Xu Deyong walked back with an air gun and a pheasant in his hand. As he walked, he muttered: "Little chicken, little chicken, don't blame me. You are just a dish from the world. You left early today and will come quickly next year..."

When he came to the shore, he put away the air gun, a short shovel appeared in his hand, and smashed a piece of ice on the shore, revealing the cold and clear river water.

There are flowers that can be folded and straight to be folded.

He took out his hunting knife, bled the chicken and killed it. Without hot water, it was difficult to pluck out the feathers, so Xu Deyong simply peeled off the chicken skin along with it.

After packing it up and washing it, there was only about a pound left.

When we came to the car, we dug a simple pit stove and cut some reeds for firewood.

There is oil but no salt in the blind box space, but there is soy sauce.

Spread the prepared pheasant evenly with oil and soy sauce, then use a shovel to make a plate and "teppanyaki chicken".

A burst of fireworks rose in the wilderness. Xu Deyong leaned on the wheel of the cart and roasted the chicken while warming the fire.

Hey, it would be better to open an iron pot anytime!
Half an hour later, the "Teppanyaki Chicken" was ready, and he also made "Teppanyaki Pie", "Teppanyaki Steamed Buns" and "Teppanyaki Rice Noodles".

This outdoor lunch is extraordinarily rich!
After eating and drinking, Xu Deyong put out the fire and filled the pit, packed up and continued on his way.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, he finally arrived at Niulan Mountain, which now belongs to the Second District of Shunyi County. This year, the district will be withdrawn and merged into townships, with Niulan Mountain as the central township.

It is located in the Chaobai River impact plain. The terrain is high in the middle and low in the east and west. It is commonly known as "two ditches sandwiching a hill". It was once one of the eight important towns in Jingdong.

There is indeed a mountain in Niulan Mountain, but it is not high, only more than 80 meters. It is located on the east side and is the "raw material base" for burnt lime.

There is a cave on the third peak of the mountain. According to legend, a golden bull once lived in the cave, hence the name Niulan Mountain.The meaning of the bullpen is not to stop the Taurus, but to say that this mountain is equivalent to the home of the Taurus, so it is also called Taurus Mountain.

Xu Deyong rode directly to Niulanshan Winery.

Niulanshan Winery was established in [-] on the basis of four old pot roasters: "Gonglihao", "Fushuncheng", "Kuishenghao" and "Yixiang".

Xujia Shaoguo was smaller in scale, and it took half a year to join. There was no other way, so the grain was purchased and marketed in a joint venture.

Nowadays, the winery is not big, the output is not large, and there are less than a hundred employees. It is incomparable with the "Red Star" established a few years ago.

With his extraordinary winemaking experience and ability, Xu Huisu is now regarded as a leader and master in the winery, and he also has some share dividends.

Xu Deyong told the guard to find Xu Huisui.

After hearing this, the people looked him up and down and passed on the message smoothly without any embarrassment.

Soon, Xu Huisul, dressed in blue overalls, came out of the winery.

Xu Huisui is 1.7 meters tall, 27 or eight years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks very energetic.

Almost caught up with Xu Deyong!

He strode out, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, are you Comrade Xu Deyong?"

Xu Deyong shook hands with him and said with a hearty smile: "Hello, I am Xu Deyong. You are older than me, so I will take the liberty of calling you Huishe Big Brother."

After saying that, he let go and took out the letter written by Xu Huizhen and handed it to him.

Xu Huisul opened the letter and said with a smile: "Okay, it just so happens that our surname is Xu, so it would be nice to have more brothers."

Xu Hui read the letter at a glance and said, "Xiao Zhen mentioned this when I called you before, saying that she was grateful to you when she gave birth to the child. I didn't expect that it was you who was the one doing the drinking. It's such a fate!"

Xu Deyong scratched his head and grinned: "Maybe it's not fate..."

"That's what God has decreed." Xu Huisu laughed and said, "Come on, let's go in and let the wine be filled. Stay overnight at my house tonight and let your sister-in-law cook some dishes to go with the wine. Let's have a drink. When we come to the winery, we can Can’t stop drinking.”

Xu Deyong said quickly: "My ability to drink is limited, and I have to rush out early tomorrow morning, so I can't drink too much."

Xu Hui waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Xiaozhen's tavern will officially open in two days anyway. It doesn't matter if we leave late tomorrow morning, as long as we can get there after dark."

Xu Deyong couldn't help but rub his nose. This future uncle is a bit too enthusiastic...!
