Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 29 Natural Ranch
"Brother Su, what are you grilling? It's so delicious!" Compared with the more complicated food at Cai Zhangshao and Lao Hei's, Su Mu's grilled lamb kebabs and roast beef kebabs are the most effective.

Cumin and other spices are mixed with the aroma of the meat, and the sizzling sound of the charcoal fire quickly attracts many people.

"Here, try the mutton kebabs I grilled!" Distributing the cooked kebabs to the onlookers, Su Mu took two kebabs and handed them to his father, "Taste it, this mutton is super delicious!"

The fresh and tender mutton is mixed with the unique fat aroma after charcoal burning. The more you chew, the more delicious it is.

Dad also finished the work at hand and started to join the ranks of skewers. Several half-sized children tasted the sweetness, and all of them washed their hands and came to help skewers.

Fragrant mutton skewers and beef skewers were grilled and delivered to the house, and the elderly were drinking wine to reminisce about the old days.Just chewing the meat skewers while eating and drinking, the smell of meat wafted from the courtyard of the Su family, permeating the entire Huatanao sky for a long time.

After dark, the housewarming banquet that can be enjoyed by the whole village is finally ready.

There were more than a dozen large round tables placed in the spacious yard. Anyway, it was spring, and it was not too cold at night when the moonlight was clear.There is a big [-]-degree light bulb outside the door, illuminating the courtyard brightly.

Almost everyone in the village was present, and Su Mu had prepared well, and the whole housewarming banquet was like a flowing banquet!
Kebabs, fried mutton with scallions, mutton fried with celery, stewed mutton soup; beef tenderloin with green peppers, beef stewed with potatoes, beef mixed with onions, and even a large plate of cooked beef was served on each table.

Su Mu deliberately got a few large baskets of vegetables from the space and put them in the commercial vehicle for people to carry them down.

Most of them are pickled vegetables that can be eaten raw after washing and rinsing. They are served with the bean paste made by Mrs. Hei, which can just offset the greasy feeling of eating too much meat.

No matter inside or outside the house, every table is empty and full again.Fragrant beef and mutton, crisp and juicy fresh vegetables, full-flavored mutton soup, all you can eat is enough.The large piece of hot and fragrant meat makes people move their index fingers just by looking at it; when the village chief was happy, he took out a jar of his home-brewed grain wine and poured it in large bowls for the two tables on the kang. Full.

Su Mu finally enjoyed the boldness of eating a big piece of meat and drinking in a big bowl, but he was really not used to drinking such a high-concentration wine, and the pure grain wine was different from the kind bought in the city.

Take a sip, and it will heat up from the tip of your tongue to your stomach.

Fortunately, the wine is not top-notch, so I grabbed a big stick and gnawed on two pieces of meat, and then ate a few mouthfuls of crispy and refreshing pickles.
The people in the village are simple and simple. For them, if they have good things, they must first give respect to the elders.

Mom, grandma, grandma, and other women's relatives all went to the next room to have a table with Mrs. Hei and the others; on their side of the kang, almost half of the village's elders in their sixties gathered, so they brought two roasted lamb legs.Although Su Mu was young, he was the owner first, and he bought these things to entertain everyone, so he also took a high-class seat, listening to them talk about their previous life in dialect, and drinking without knowing it. A little too much.

After eating and drinking enough, the others sat on the kang, licked melon seeds and chatted, and Su Mu went back to his room to rest on the pretext of drinking too much.

In the past few days, he hadn't had much time to take care of things in the space. After he inserted the door, he turned and entered the space.

Nowadays, there is more and more water in the space, Su Mu simply keeps the gate open, and receives the water in the space whenever he needs it.Right now, he didn't bother to check how much the space had grown, but when he came in, he first poured half a pot of beef and mutton, including soup and meat, into the stainless steel basin.

"Hei Hu, Da Hui, dinner is ready!" He shouted twice, and two small dogs with thick heads and thick brains came out from behind the vegetable rack.

This is what Su Mu saw on the road when he was shopping in the county today.They are all native dogs raised at home, and the other party's asking price is not expensive, so he bought it and put it in the space to raise first.

At least with these two lively little guys, there can be some fun in the space.

Finding a secluded corner for the newly bought beehives, Su Mu took a closer look at the trees full of apple blossoms, and there were busy bees collecting honey everywhere.

However, in view of the magical effect of space soil, once the apple blossoms are pollinated, they will bear fruit like blowing up a balloon.It won't take long for the overripe apples to fall to the ground, and small flower buds will bulge in the original position, and apple blossoms will slowly bloom.So no matter how hardworking this group of bees is, it is impossible to collect all the nectar!
The two little guys were a little timid at first, but smelling the aroma of the broth, they finally couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, staggered to Su Mu's side, and ate around the rice bowl.

"Eat, eat, you two can play casually in the space, but don't destroy me!" Su Mu originally wanted to let them stay on the bluestone platform, but when he thought about the troubles caused by the little chicks back then, they were everywhere. It's chicken shit, so I gave up the idea.After they finished eating and got used to playing with him, he also let the two little dogs go to the grass.

Fortunately, there are two puppies as companions, so they should not be alone.

The flock of chicks has also grown up, and now they are all burrowing in the grass to eat grass seeds.Su Mu didn't take care of them deliberately, anyway, the things in the space will not spoil, it doesn't matter if you just throw the eggs like this, maybe you can hatch chicks when you have time.The only remaining sheep is also very strong, and it is greedy to eat the fruit under the apple tree. It is estimated that this sheep will be more delicious when it is slaughtered!
After arranging the two puppies, Su Mu purposely climbed up to the bluestone platform and looked into the distance, where there was still thick grass, and it seemed that nothing else would be revealed for a while.Strolling under the apple tree, I picked up a big apple and took a bite. It was sweet and crunchy and very delicious.

After thinking about it, he took a vegetable basket and put a basket of apples out of the space, planning to make some apple cider vinegar for himself.

The mountain village at night gradually quieted down, and when the guests at home were gone, it was the most peaceful and peaceful time.Apart from the occasional bark or two, there was no sound.

Relying on the original drunkenness, Su Mu gradually fell asleep while lying on the spacious and comfortable kang.

When he opened his eyes full of energy, the sky outside the window was already bright.Opening the curtains, you can see the fields not far away, and some villagers are driving their flocks to graze.

"Dad, it's time to take a look around today. I don't know if the new type of agriculture can be promoted here." Although Su Mu had a clue in his heart, he still hid his words, otherwise he was inexplicably confident and easily suspicious.

"I made an agreement with the village chief last night, and he will take us around after breakfast." Dad has already packed up and prepared for breakfast.

Su Mu also took the time to wash up, just waiting to eat and make his own big plans.

People in the village are used to living at sunrise and resting at sunset. Before they had finished their breakfast, the village head came into the house with a smile in his mouth, a homemade cigarette.

"Last night was really more comfortable than eating during the Chinese New Year. Every year during the Chinese New Year, most people kill pigs. Although they eat a lot of meat, it is the same. Beef and mutton are too expensive, so I dare not eat like this. Last night can be regarded as satisfying hunger. Already!" Seeing the abundance of dishes on their table, the village head was envious, as expected of a person who came back from a big city, he really has money in his hands!

"Have you eaten yet? There is still a lot of rice in the pot, let's go to the kang to eat!" Dad hurriedly greeted.

The village head waved his hands and smiled, "Eat what you eat. I ate it this morning."

Su Mu drank millet porridge and ate cold beef with a smile and said, "Let's go around the neighborhood later. If it's really suitable for farming, our village will definitely be more comfortable than the city in the future!"

"Hey, how can a poor country be compared with a big city? Farmers have the lowest requirements, some live and some food are enough, and we ordinary people don't have such big ambitions. You can take a look later, if it is suitable, you can build it casually, anyway. The Emperor Shangao is far away, and no one can manage to come here!
But there is one thing, the mountains near our Aozi are nothing, you can toss around as you like.Further inside, those deep mountains are said to be protected by the state, hunting with guns is not allowed, and there are some protected animals.Anyway, from time to time, you can see the forest guard team wandering around inside. They have a good temper, and occasionally come to our village to buy something, and they speak kindly. "

After dinner, the village chief led the way and explained the terrain near Huatanao while walking.

The whole village is in a large valley, and there are several mountains behind the village. Because it is close to the village, most of the villagers drive their sheep to the mountains to eat wild grass;
Not far in front of the village is the Taohua River. There are many farmlands distributed in long strips on both sides of the river, but the places a little far away from the Taohua River are all deserted, and no one seems to be farming;

In the distance is a small hillside, just as everything is recovering in spring, there are weeds everywhere, and it looks very green from a distance.

"The village calls this place 'Guodipo'. Because it is too far away from the river, it is inconvenient to water, and the fields near the village are enough for planting, and no one comes here to open up wasteland. In the past few years, people often came here to herd sheep. , but in the past few years, Guodipo has grown a lot of gray stump grass, and cattle and sheep eat this stuff, so the sheep herders are not willing to come here."

Following the village chief up the hill, Su Mu saw the whole picture of Guodi Slope.

The names of the people in the village are very vivid, and the whole terrain really looks like a cauldron used at home from a distance.The surrounding area is relatively high, and there is a wide basin in the middle. There are some weeds that Sapphire doesn't know. The leaves are covered with a layer of fluff. It smells unpleasant. It should be what the villagers call "grass sapling". Weeds.

"Such a nice place, it's just a natural pasture!" Su Mu seemed to have picked up a treasure, no matter what kind of gray stump grass, as long as the space pasture is moved out, within a few months this will be the world of pasture! "Village chief, this land also belongs to our village? Can I contract it?"

"Of course it belongs to our village. Let me tell you this. The entire Taohua Mountain is the most concave place in our village. As long as it is not owned land, you can occupy it as you like. If it is a contract, forget it. If you like it, you can toss it yourself. We The fields near the village are all obtained by reclaiming wasteland by yourself, as long as you are willing to work hard, this piece will be allocated to you. Although Huatanao is poor, but there is a lot of land, you can just tell me which piece of wasteland you like."

The village chief smoked the hoist, exhaled the smoke ring and said with a smile: "There is no way to irrigate the land here, it is too far away from the river, so we can only watch the sky for food. If it rains more, the harvest will be better, and if it does not rain, the crops will be better." They will all die of drought. If you want to plant trees and build a lumberyard, you will have to work hard, and it will take many years for the small trees to grow into big ones."
