Chapter 19 Taoyuan Shuguo Lei Gongyi

Tonight's harvest is not much, the yellow eel is almost a catty, the loach is estimated to be two catties, and there are more than five catties in total with some crayfish and small fish, which looks a lot but if it is evenly divided, everyone can not get much. Liu Wen only wanted some dead small fish for the Dahua family for supper, and the rest were poured into the newly dug pool by Xue Fang, saying that they would eat together after their father-in-law and mother-in-law came.

Speaking of Dahua's family, Liu Wen's mother also said a strange thing at dinner today, Dahua can fish, and she is still teaching kittens to fish in the afternoon.

After digging a pond and filling the ditch in the backyard of Liu Wen's house, Liu Wen took the time to dig a shallow ditch to connect the two pools in front of the courtyard and behind the courtyard, and the excess water flowed to the ditch outside after passing through a tight fence in front of the courtyard. Liu Wen secretly put a lot of fish into the ditch from the space, all of which were all kinds of fish fry, most of which were half-pulled fish fry of less than a catty.

In the afternoon, Liu Wen's mother saw Dahua squatting on the edge of the ditch in the backyard, the tip of her tail gently swinging on the water surface by the ditch. A small carp thought that a bug had fallen from the water, and couldn't help but get close to the water, Dahua quickly turned around and stretched out his front paws, and quickly grabbed into the water, and when the claws retracted, he actually clasped the little carp tightly.

Liu Wen's mother was surprised to see this process, but Liu Wen knew that many wild cats would have this skill, and Dahua should have learned it when she was wandering in the wild, and now she has taught this skill to her children.

The genius is bright, Liu Wen didn't have time to go to Taoyuan to put the chickens, so he was dragged by Yang Yong's family to collect the leak, and before coming to the ditch, Liu Wen put away the first leak, lifted it with his hand, felt that it was still a little weighty, untied the rope and poured it into the bucket, and saw that there were more than 20 loaches and three or four yellow eels.

There are big and small loaches, and each yellow eel has a two, three, two, or three, and I can't imagine that there are so many loaches and yellow eels in this ditch. In addition to the yellow eel, there are some small fish and shrimp and seven or eight crayfish.

After the twelve baskets were collected, they were filled with more than half a bucket, and Liu Wen walked home with the excited Yang Yong family. Every time they met an early riser on the way, Yang Yong's family had to tell the story forward, showing off the results of using a leak to fill loaches and yellow eels.

Liu Wen promised to lend the basket to Yang Yong's family and continue to put it tonight. Some interested tourists asked where they could buy baskets? Liu Wen asked the tourists to go to Liu Quanwang, a craftsman in the village.

On the morning of the same day, the family of Liu Quanwang, a craftsman, ushered in several waves of tourists, all of whom came to buy baskets, and Liu Quanwang suddenly fell into the trouble of being too busy to be happy. Some tourists saw that the fish baskets and those back baskets placed in Liu Quanwang's home were very delicate and beautiful, and they were also very practical things.

The fish basket is straddled on the waist, which does not affect the movement of the hands, which is convenient for catching fish, and the back basket is carried on the shoulder, which is more convenient when looking for mountain goods in the mountain, so these fish baskets and back baskets are also snapped up by tourists. Since then, Liu Quanwang's handmade bamboo artwork has begun to be in short supply.

After returning, Liu Wen divided a part of the loach and yellow eel and poured it into the ditch in the backyard of Professor Lin's house, and gave the rest to Yang Yong's family. Liu Wendu has specially reminded that crayfish are not suitable for being placed in the ditch in the backyard, because the crayfish will make holes, and it may cause the ditch to collapse. Xue Fang was reluctant to throw away the crayfish, so Liu Wen had no choice but to let it go.

After breakfast, Liu Wen and his parents went to Taoyuan to thin the fruit, accompanied by blessing and fortune, Liu Wen's mother was worried that no one would come to fortune and fortune at home, and maybe she would bully Huanhuan and Lele. This Huanhuan and Lele relied on the favor of Liu Wen's mother, from time to time to the two puppies squeezed their eyebrows and stuck out their tongues, and occasionally secretly grabbed the dog's tail to provoke fortune and fortune, the animals in the family have drunk the spiritual water of the space, and their wisdom is very high, and they have the opportunity to retaliate back, and they will never let go of the blessing and fortune.

During the time he came to Liu Wen's house, he came to fortune and beckoned fortune very quickly, and now he has a little bit of the momentum and majesty of a mountain dog. The two puppies were playing in front of Liu Wen, and sometimes chasing after them.

Liu Wen's mother carried a bucket of rice grains that had been soaked and swollen last night to feed the chicks. The three people and two dogs came to Taoyuan, Liu Wen moved the wooden frame, and after opening the chicken coop, the impatient chicks who had been waiting for a long time rushed out of the door like a swarm under the leadership of the hen.

Liu Wen's mother sprinkled rice grains into the chickens' grains, and the chickens immediately swarmed up and pecked at them. Liu Wen led his father to thin the peach tree first, and Qiang Qiang and Chubby smelled Liu Wen's breath and greeted him. Rifle and Fortune immediately assumed a fighting posture and barked loudly to warn their master. "Laifu! Zhaocai! Don't scream!" Liu Wen shouted, perhaps they both smelled the same breath as each other, and Laifu Zhaocai quickly relaxed, and walked forward to greet the two wild boars that they only understood.

Liu Wen first patted Qiang Qiang and Chubby on the head, and then tickled them one by one under their necks. "Let's go play by ourselves!" Liu Wen finally patted the boar's head and said.

"These two wild boars are really human. Seeing the wild boar obediently turn around and walk out, followed by blessing and fortune, Liu Wen's father praised.

"Dad, don't think pigs are stupid, some scientists have done experiments to prove that pigs are smarter than dogs!" Liu Wen smiled and explained to his father.

The peach trees planted by Liu Wen are all big peaches, and when I bought them, I heard the boss say that a peach is as big as a pound. This year is the first time that the peach tree has borne fruit, so it is not advisable to leave too much fruit, a maximum of ten per tree, and it is enough.

After Liu Wen and his father explained the method of thinning the fruit and the amount of retention, the father and son separated to thin the fruit. This year, each peach tree still bears a lot of fruit, so it will take some time to finish thinning a peach tree.

When Liu Wen went to the Taoyuan Spring, he felt a little tired, so he planned to drink some water, rest and rest, and smoke a cigarette to relieve his fatigue. Next to the spring, there is a water scoop specially left by Liu Wen to hang on the tree, so that tourists can drink water to quench their thirst when they are thirsty.

Liu Wen beckoned his parents to come to the spring to sit down and drink some water, while Liu Wen and his father each lit a cigarette and chatted while smoking. Liu Wen's eyes inadvertently fell on the shady ground of the big rock beside him, and the ground was covered with a layer of blue-black Lei Gongyi like wet fungus and like a small mushroom, densely and tightly attached to the ground. Lei Gongyi only has spring and summer two seasons, after the rain the soil is moist, Lei Gongyi will swell after absorbing water, and it will shrink soon after the weather becomes clear, because the spring and summer usually thunder before the rain, so it is called Lei Gongyi.

"Mom, is this Lei Gongyi delicious?" Liu Wen has never eaten Lei Gongyi since he was a child, and now he sees it and wants to taste it.

"It's okay! Liu Wen's mother replied. Hearing his mother say this, Liu Wen became even more interested, squatted down and carefully picked up Lei Gongyi, put it into the small bucket that his mother brought to feed the chickens in the morning, and collected the small half bucket after a while.

At noon, Liu Wen's family eats Lei Gongyi, Lei Gongyi is soaked in water, after washing the soil impurities, drain the water, do not need to put too much seasoning, just pat a few cloves of garlic, a little sesame oil, pour it into the pot after heating, and stir-fry a few times to get out of the pot.

Liu Wen tasted it, and it tasted good in Lei Gongyi, it was extremely tender and rotten in the mouth, as if it still had some natural fragrance, and the more Liu Wen ate, the more delicious he felt.

In the afternoon, Liu Wen's family went to Taoyuan to thin the fruits, and after thinning all the fruit trees in Taoyuan, Liu Wen went to pick some Lei Gongyi and prepared to give them to Professor Lin and Mrs. Lin in the evening.

In the evening, after Liu Wen settled all the chickens, he rushed home with blessings and fortune. After going back, I gave Lei Gongyi to Professor Lin and your wife, and sure enough, they liked it very much after tasting Lei Gongyi, and then the small piece of Lei Gongyi in Taoyuan became a special vegetable garden for Professor Lin's family, and every once in a while, Professor Lin and Mrs. Lin would go to Taoyuan to collect Lei Gongyi.

In the evening, Yang Yong's family invited Liu Wen to catch yellow eel loaches, Liu Wen smiled and refused, there are more important things to do tonight, and he needs to rest early. At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Liu Wen quietly walked out of the house, along the ditch and the rice field area, and while walking, he put the yellow eel loach in the space, and some other small fish, and finally Liu Wen came to the reservoir and released most of the fish in the space.

Grab as much as you want! The more you catch, the more I will release. With such a little bad taste, Liu Wen quietly returned home and continued to sleep.

The next day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining, and Liu Wen and his father each carried a large bamboo basket on their backs and walked towards the foot of the mountain. This time I want to pick some dandelions to make bitter tea, and cut some bamboo shoots to make tobacco shoots, the dandelions at this time are already a little old, and there are not many tourists to pick them now, but they are a good material for making bitter tea.

At the foot of the mountain, dandelions grew almost everywhere, and Liu Wen and his father quickly filled a whole basket. The father asked Liu Wen to carry a basket of dandelions on his back and go to the public bamboo forest in the village by himself, preparing to cut some bamboo shoots and come back to make tobacco shoots.

After the dandelion is picked back, the rotten leaves and dead leaves are cleaned, scalded with boiling water, and then chopped and dried in the sun.

The production of smoke shoots is also very simple, choose a little old bamboo shoots to cut off, peel off the leaves and cut them in half, hang them in the cave, use fireworks to smoke and roast, the smoke shoots baked out are black, and the appearance is not good at all.

When eating tobacco shoots, soak them in water for three to five days, and replace them repeatedly until the soaked water has no change in color. After chopping the tobacco shoots into small pieces, soak them in cold water for about a day, and boil them three times in boiling water before eating. It may seem like a tedious process, but when the cigarettes are cooked and served, it all feels worth it.
