Leisure Mountain Village

Chapter 7

He doesn't know much about tea trees, he only knows that there are indeed wild tea trees on Taihang Ridge.

However, I heard from the villagers that the yield of wild tea trees is low, and it is difficult to find. Although the taste is good, it is not proportional to the hard work, so few people go to the mountains to pick tea. Fried and drank by myself.

"It doesn't matter, it must be a good thing to have this fragrance. It must be transplanted to the mountain god space." With the experience of wild ginseng, Lin Chen knew that the fragrance must be a good thing, so he directly transplanted the wild tea tree into the space. In the space of the mountain god, some spiritual spring water has been poured, so there is no need to be afraid that it will not live forever.

It was already past three o'clock when we got home from the mountain. Mom and the others had just had dinner. Seeing that Lin Chen had warmed up the food when he came back, Lin Chen saw that Rhubarb was looking at his rice bowl worryingly, and filled it with spiritual spring water with a smile. The little thing happily ate it.

After eating, my father walked over to "Son, go to the county seat tomorrow! There are a lot of mountain products accumulated at home, and the vegetables in the vegetable garden can also be picked."

"Didn't it say that it will be a few more days!?" Lin Chen asked while eating.

Dad also said with a puzzled face, "It's a bit strange. I thought it would take at least three or four days, but your mother went to the vegetable garden for a walk this morning, and found that it was basically cooked, and then hung on to look back. It’s not easy to sell after it’s over, probably this year’s vegetables are cooked earlier.”

"Okay, let's pick the vegetables first in the afternoon." Lin Chen pulled out two mouthfuls of rice, and ate up all the food.

"Slow down, if you eat too fast, you won't be able to digest it, it's not good for your stomach." My mother walked by and couldn't help nagging.

After eating, Lin Chen found some woven bags, and then drove a walking tractor to the vegetable garden with his dad. His vegetable garden is not big, it only looks like six or seven cents. The vegetables are mixed, and the tomatoes have two cents. , one part of cucumber, one part of beans, and the remaining three parts of mixed cabbage, cabbage and lettuce.

The tractor can't pull too many things. The load of Lin Chen's family is about [-] catties. Tomatoes in two lands can harvest more than [-] catties per crop. The yield of cucumbers is even higher. normal.

My father and I have been busy all afternoon, and only collected about half of the seven-cent land, but there are at least two thousand catties of vegetables. We picked a lot of tomatoes and cucumbers, and a little bit of cabbage, cabbage and lettuce. Lin Chen estimated that tomorrow You have to continue when you come back, otherwise it will be ruined if you keep it in the field.

All the vegetables were packed in woven bags, and a layer of straw was spread on the tractor. The lettuce was bumped and placed on the bottom layer, then cucumbers were placed on top, and cabbage and cabbage were placed on top. It was broken, and the price would not go up at that time. Finally, I picked some strawberries from the greenhouse and put them in baskets.

After everything was finished, it was already past five in the afternoon. After dinner, Lin Chen went out with a hoe on his shoulder. Seeing this, his father Lin Wen asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'll dig some earthworms, Duo Duo wants to eat rice field eels, and I'll order rice field eel cages at night," Lin Chen said.

Dad nodded, and then said, "Don't dig it yourself, it's a waste of time, I see that the sea has turned a lot this afternoon, you don't need much, just find him."

Lin Chen thinks about it, he puts the hoe out to find Dahai, Dahai is Lin Chen's cousin, he can't go to school, he won't go to school after graduating from junior high school, and usually doesn't have a serious job, basically relying on the goods from the mountains Live with the fish in the river.

As soon as he arrived at the door of Dahai's house, he saw Dahai squatting on the threshold sucking noodles. When he saw Lin Chen, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother, why are you here? Have you eaten yet? Scallion noodles made by my mother, take a bowl? "

Lin Chen sniffed it, and said, "Auntie's craftsmanship is really good, and it smells so good! But I just finished eating, and I came to your line of work to order earthworms. Your niece wants to eat rice field eels, so I'll order some rice field eel cages tonight."

Dahai put down the bowl and came out soon after entering the yard, holding a red plastic bag in his hand, handing it to Lin Chen and saying, "Brother, I'm reconciled, the mud next to the ditch dug has a strong fishy smell, and it smells like rice field eels in storage." Once you get there, you won’t be able to run away.”

Lin Chen could smell the fishy smell through the plastic bag, but if he wanted to catch the rice field eel, he relied on the smell. He thanked him and said, "Okay, thank you Dahai, I will treat you to dinner."

"Brother, you are being polite, go back! Do you want me to help you tonight?" Dahai asked.

"Don't worry about it, just a dozen cages, it will take a while." Lin Chen waved his hand and went home.

Back home, Lin Chen found out the rice field eel cage at home. It hadn’t been used for a while. The rice field eel cage at home was made of bamboo strips. One end was big and the other end was small. It looked like a cannonball. There was an opening inside the cage. The reversing design, the eel smells the bait in the cage, so it can only move forward but not backwards. Open the bamboo strip inside, and when it goes through the reversing structure, the bamboo strip will retract by itself, so that the eel cannot run away. up.

The side of the small head is tied with plastic cloth, and the harvest can be poured out immediately after the seal is lifted the next day, which is very convenient and ingenious.

Duoduo watched from a distance as his father smeared earthworm mud on the plastic sheet. It was really too smelly, but Rhubarb lay on the side with great interest, and licked his tongue from time to time.

"Don't go there, smelly, if you eat it... I won't like you in the future!" Duoduo ran over and grabbed the rhubarb by the ear and pulled it back. The rhubarb had no choice but to be pulled to the other side of the yard.

After finishing the bait for more than a dozen cages, Lin Chen tied up all the eel cages with a nylon rope, then put on his rubber shoes and went out, saying to Duo Duo, "Daughter, wait to eat big rice field eels tomorrow! "

Going out with the eel cage in hand, Lin Chen looked for small ditches and canals, and places with a lot of water and grass. After putting the cage in, he had to make a mark. It’s not that he couldn’t remember where he put it. It's not just Lin Chen's family, but everyone's cages look similar, and if there is a mark, you can know which one belongs to your own, and you can't touch it wrong, so as not to be embarrassing when you get it.

The eel cages in his hand were lowered into the water one by one, and when the last two were left, Lin Chen suddenly had an idea. He took out a little spiritual spring water and poured it into the eel cages, making sure that the spiritual spring water had soaked the bait before carefully The next good cage.

After clapping his hands, Lin Chen turned around and went home. It would be fine to get up early tomorrow morning to collect the cage, but Lin Chen didn't realize that the moment he left, the water was churning, as if a riot had occurred under the water.

It was only after eight o'clock when we got home, Lin Chen stretched his waist, hugged his daughter who was still watching TV in his arms, Duo Duo sat on Lin Chen's lap, hooked his father's neck and said, "Da Lin, look at the bear Big Bear Er is so smart, even smarter than Da Huang!"

"Not necessarily! Our rhubarb is also very smart." Lin Chen smiled, and the rhubarb at his feet immediately wagged his tail, very satisfied with his master's fair words.

But Dodo pinched Lin Chen's nose and said, "No, Xiong Da and Xiong Er can talk, but Rhubarb can't!"

Both Lin Chen and Da Huang were taken aback, Da Huang lay down on the ground dejectedly, Lin Chen touched Da Huang's tail with his toe with a smile, which means that I can't help you, even if the Lingquan water is used to bathe you every day, You are unlikely to learn to speak!

After watching TV for a while, Lin Chen carried his daughter to brush her teeth and wash her face to get ready for bed. Yesterday, she watched the vegetable field and didn't bring her to sleep. Today, the little guy was lying in his arms, afraid that he would run away again.

After washing, Lin Chen hugged Duo Duo to bed, the weather was a bit hot, the electric fan broke down two days ago, and there was no air conditioner in the house, so he just took a fan to fan his daughter, the little girl played like crazy all day, and now she really does Sleepy, fell asleep soon, Dahuang walked in from the door, put his head on the bed and looked, saw the little master fell asleep, and then lay down on the side of the bed and fell asleep in peace.

Lin Chen looked at the little angel-like daughter, his thoughts had drifted away far away, and he didn't know when he fell asleep in a daze, but suddenly felt a cool breeze, and when he opened his eyes, it was Duo Duo who was giving him a hug. Fan the fan, the small forehead is hot and sweaty.

"Ouch!" Lin Chen's heart ached. He took the fan and fanned his daughter quickly, "Why did you fan Daddy? See if it warms my baby."

Duoduo pressed her face to Lin Chen's chest, arched her head again, and said with a tilt of her head, "Dalin, you have worked very hard. You have worked a lot during the day. I think you are sweating."

Lin Chen's heart melted, and he had to install the air conditioner immediately. He kissed his daughter's forehead. After all, Duo Duo was still a child, and soon fell asleep. Lin Chen carefully covered Duo Duo's belly with a quilt. , but at this time Dodo suddenly said something in his sleep.

"Father... Dodo misses mother."

Lin Chen froze for a moment, and could only sigh.
