Chapter 122 Another Good Harvest
During the harvest season in August, Shen Yunfang started to get busy again as she did last year.

First of all, it is at home. She picked all the ripe vegetables in the backyard, and dried some of the bad-looking vegetables into dried vegetables, and kept them for stewing in winter. The taste is different from the fresh ones, and has a special flavor.

The tender ones also broke off dozens of ears of corn and put them in the space for storage. Last winter, she took out a few from time to time or cooked them or ate them by themselves. They were delicious, so today she has more Broke a lot.

Another thing is to dig a pit and bury the wine she brewed. Since she learned to brew wine in the past two years, she basically brewed a jar every month, and then dug a pit in the backyard to bury it. For more than a year, the backyard No matter what, there must be nearly twenty jars of wine in the house. If she continues to brew like this, there will be no place to bury it at home.

She also didn't forget the wild fruits in the mountains. She learned to climb trees this year, so she had her eye on the round jujube tree. This summer, she picked at least twenty or thirty catties.Round jujubes are like a miniature version of kiwi fruit, which tastes sour and sweet.

There are also mountain grapes, last year she cut a lot, and this year the small piece is even bigger.She picked the purple ones, but later she saw that there were quite a lot, so she took out two stalls and made jars of grape juice. Of course, a lot of sugar was wasted.

Another thing to be happy about is that this year's pine nut harvest is huge.Pine nuts are not a good harvest every year. Generally, there is a big harvest every five years and a small harvest every three years. This year just caught up with the big harvest. Even if you don’t go up the tree to beat the pine nuts, the ones that fall from the ground are more than last year. Much more.Shen Yunfang is not polite at all, as long as you see it, you will pick it up, and the amount stored in the space is very objective.

What makes her most gratifying is the harvest on the hillside.

Let’s talk about the pigs first. The first eight pigs I bought have been slaughtered, and the meat is now stored in her space, and the pigs that I bought later have also been raised. The big one seems to have weighed over a hundred catties. She believes that when the first snow falls in the mountains, these pigs will be ready for slaughter.

Besides the sheep, one sheep, but only three ewes and seven rams were bought, and it has been confirmed that all three ewes are pregnant.As for the rams, Shen Yunfang plans to slaughter them all after the snow falls. Next year, she will raise lambs, because it is not cost-effective to raise lambs. This year they can reach ninety catties, and next year they may only be one hundred catties, so It's better to kill it and raise it again next year.

Then there are the crops in the field. This land is larger than the family's private land plus the backyard. One can imagine how objective this year's harvest is.

Moreover, the land is fertile, and Shen Yunfang also worked hard to take care of it. The outermost sunflowers are more than two meters high, and the sunflower disc is bigger than a washbasin.

Shen Yunfang successively collected soybeans, corn, sweet potatoes, peanuts, carrots and sunflower seeds, and of course the remaining watermelons and muskmelons.

After such a lap, the time has come to mid-October.

The autumn harvest in the village has also passed, and after dividing the grain according to the usual practice, he managed to kill and sell his two pigs.Of course, we can’t use last year’s method this time, otherwise the villagers should be suspicious, why other people’s pigs are fine, but she gets sick as soon as she raises pigs, so this time she and Dashuan couple acted together. Shuanghuang, let everyone think that she was sold to a supply and marketing cooperative in the city, which is far away from Gaijiatun, even if someone suspects that it would be a lot of effort to go there once, and selling pork does not require any registration, so no problem can be found.

In this way, this year, with the two pigs on the bright side of her family, she made another nearly 300 yuan, which is a huge profit. Of course, Shen Yunfang's harvest year has just begun.There are still a lot of eggs, vegetables and mushrooms in her space, just waiting for a chance to sell them.

"Juan, tell Auntie, is the fried quail delicious?" Shen Yunfang sat on the kang, holding the fried quail with oily hands, thinking.

Next to her, Xiaojuan also imitated her example. Like her nonchalant Aunt Yunfang, her hands were full of joy.

"Well, it's delicious." Xiaojuan nodded firmly. In her little heart, she already knew that there must be something delicious to follow Aunt Yunfang.

"Ah..."

Dashuan's daughter-in-law was sitting next to her, holding a milk doll in her arms. The milk doll looked at the people next to her eating happily, and grabbed a quail with one hand, and stuffed it into her mouth with the other, making ahhhh sounds from time to time. Get someone's attention.

Dashuan's daughter-in-law patted her son's butt lightly, then reluctantly pulled a small strip of shredded meat from the fried quail in her hand, and stuffed it into his mouth, making him dizzy. Half-year-old children cannot eat these things.

"Oh, here's a little greedy cat, the baby will grow up soon, and when you have all your teeth, Aunt Fang will fry quail for you." Shen Yunfang kept the food in his hand for children.

"It's just that you have nothing to do. This quail is laying eggs well. Why did you kill it?" Dashuan's daughter-in-law couldn't help but say a few words, mainly because she felt distressed.

Since the quails were brought back by Shen Yunfang at the beginning of the year, they have been repeating the process of laying eggs, hatching eggs and then laying eggs. In the past few months, the number of quails in the two families has increased sharply, with more than 110 in each family.

But now Shen Yunfang's family has only one hundred left, and the extra ten or so are all on the table.

"These are the earliest batches. Quails can't be raised for long. It has been laying eggs for a year. Even if I don't kill them, they won't be able to lay eggs in a few days." Shen Yunfang spoke while agreeing to the bones.

Now Dashuan's daughter-in-law couldn't take it anymore, "What do you mean, I don't lay eggs anymore, I've only been raising them for a few days." She couldn't accept it, you know, chickens can lay eggs for three or four years.

So Shen Yunfang popularized the basic knowledge of raising quail to Dashuan's daughter-in-law while eating quail.

"That's why quail is a bird with a limited lifespan. Even if I don't kill it, it has to be eliminated. In this way, after it has finished laying eggs, I will fry it to eat meat. The use value is the highest." Shen Yunfang made an excuse for her greed .

"That's too early. Didn't you say it can lay eggs for a year? It's only been seven months." Dashuan's daughter-in-law counted with her fingers.

"It's almost seven months, and the peak egg production period has passed." Shen Yunfang reached out and grabbed another quickly after eating one, "Let's not talk about that, sister-in-law, when you talk about it, how does this quail taste?"

"Needless to say, this is meat. Besides, you used up the old oil and fried it. Wouldn't it be delicious?" Dashuan's daughter-in-law muttered, and when she reminded her, she also started to eat the quail in her hand. up.

"Hehe, that's why I said that quail has high economic value. It hatches quickly and lays eggs quickly. When it can't lay eggs, the meat is still so delicious." Shen Yunfang thought to herself, this is better than sparrows, and it is not difficult to raise. She should wait next year. Further increase breeding efforts.

"Well, I think so too, so I haven't let Xiaojuan eat these few days. I hatched all the quail eggs I saved, and my house has also set up a plastic shed, so I can raise them in winter." Dashuan's daughter-in-law was very happy Said.

Dashuan's daughter-in-law is responsible for the moment of hatching, no matter how many are hatched each time, the two families will share equally.

"Come on, happy cooperation." Shen Yunfang stretched the oily Maha's hand to Dashuan's daughter-in-law, wanting to shake hands with her in a friendly way.

"Let's go and clean up foreign affairs." Dashuan's wife is not fooled.

"Ha, if you don't come, I'll find a little baby to save Aunt Fang's face. Let's shake hands."
