Chapter 225: Winter Bamboo Shoots and Sheep Pull Cans
Li Li was very proud of her foresight, and brought the bag in advance, as well as a small shovel to shovel these down, and a bag to hold.
This tree is really prolific, there are more than a dozen, all of them are the size of a palm, and they are quite thick, except for the one that is too close to the ground to be a little moldy and cannot be eaten, the rest are very good.
The harvest from this tree alone is enough to stew a lot of meat.
The two girls were very happy with their harvest.
Before they finished picking the tree tongue, Zhang Dewang's eldest son came with him - he was in charge of going to the sheep farm today to call his father to carry the wild boar, and then he followed directly.
Ten-year-old Zhang Wei follows adults to run the mountain, and he does not shout tired, and sometimes he looks around by himself, which is more flexible than adults running the mountain.
Since his parents said that he was going to come back to do things, he was still very happy.
At this moment, he didn't know where to come from, and then took out a large handful of things from each of his pockets, put them into Li Li's bag, and poured them into a loud voice.
Li Li had never seen this thing, so she asked him, "Little friend, what is this?"
Zhang Wei said: "This is a foreign can, which can be eaten. There's still one over there, I'll go get some more. ”
Li Li didn't know this, so she asked him, "Can you eat this?"
Look at it looks like a stone, with patterns, the size of a sparrow egg, a little ugly, can you eat this?
Zhang Wei nodded: "This can be eaten, fragrant and sweet, really, so delicious!"
He also exaggerated his lip-smacking movements, as if he was drunk. Then, with a puff of smoke, he ran into the woods again and went to look for it again.
Zhang Dewang couldn't help but call him: "You be careful, run slower, don't run far." ”
Zhou Heng smiled: "He is still very good at finding food, and he found all these things." I haven't eaten it in years. ”
What they call a foreign can is actually a kind of pupa worm, which has a strange outer shell, which they brought to spend the winter, and after spring, it breaks out of the pupa and turns into a moth.
And in the winter, these cans stick to the bare branches, disguised as flowers on the branches or something, and they don't move anyway.
In every jar, there is a worm in it, when you eat it, you first knock it open, and the worms inside can be roasted, fried or fried, all of which are protein, and there is a fragrance when you eat it.
Zhou Heng ate it when he was a child, but he didn't eat it much later, it's really the first time in many years.
He remembers when he was a child, he used to pierce a small eye in that jar, and after getting the worms out, he used this jar to whistle. In those days, there were only these things to play with.
It's nostalgic to think about.
Zhang Dewang smiled: "This kid, we are not at home, we follow his grandfather all the year round, and it is not his grandfather who is looking for anything, he will follow and learn." ”
These things are all things that Zhang Yunxi usually finds and eats, and the child learns from him.
Li Li looked at these gray things, she didn't expect this to be edible, and couldn't help but say to Jiang Xiaoxuan: "It's amazing." ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan asked her: "Do you dare to taste it for a while? If you dare to taste it, I will admire you." ”
"Why don't you dare to eat this? If someone dares to eat it, I will dare to eat it. ”
"Really, bragging, huh?"
"Don't worry, definitely no bragging. ”
Zhou Heng looked at the two of them, and said: "Don't underestimate this, it sells for more than eighty pounds on the Internet, and it has to be doubled when it is expensive!"
He did sometimes search the Internet to see if anyone was selling this - after all, online sales are so versatile that you can buy almost anything, and it turns out that there are real ones, and the price scares him.
In these years, there is really nothing that can't be done, only unexpected. Things that used to be difficult to get into the hall of elegance when I was a child are now sold for sky-high prices.
Driven by interests, it is estimated that there are people who specialize in breeding this.
Jiang Xiaoxuan smiled: "Then this is still an expensive ingredient?"
"Not only is it expensive, it's also seasonal, and after this season, it won't be there. ”
After picking the tongue of the tree, they were almost rested, and they had to continue on their way.
Zhang Wei jumped out of place from time to time, and then took out a large handful of foreign cans from his pocket and poured them into the bag that Li Li was carrying.
This guy really hasn't been idle along the way.
Zhou Heng asked Zhang Dewang: "Big brother, I see that you should still have a lot of pheasants here, have you seen them?"
"There should be, I heard it all. I just didn't get it. Zhang Dewang replied.
The pheasant is very beautiful, the feathers are colorful colors, and the tail feathers are very long.
All the characters wearing pheasant tails on their heads are generally strong, heroic, handsome, and imposing young characters, both male and female, such as Zhou Yu, Mu Guiying, Chen Youliang and so on.
And the meat of the pheasant is also delicious, it has less meat, but the meat is very tender, and the taste is much better than that of ordinary chicken.
It's just that in the past few decades, a large number of captures and other reasons, or ecological changes, etc., have rarely seen these, but in the past few years, there have been signs of recovery, and voices can be heard everywhere.
Now people's demand for pheasants is really increasing, so it has also given birth to the industry of breeding pheasants.
Just like the base where Zhou Heng bought hares before, pheasants also have a breeding base, and there are many people breeding, and the prospects are still very good.
Not to mention pheasants, even peacocks have breeding bases - people buy peacocks and go back to stew meat to eat, just like eating chickens, and those farmers do raise peacocks as chickens.
Some of them are not careful, and the peacock is uglier than the chicken.
However, he doesn't want to expand the industry in a short period of time, and he will have to do the second-generation chicken thing after the New Year, as well as prepare to build a company, and there will be a period of time when he is busy, so don't think too much about it first.
The group carried the wild boar, walked and rested, and walked nearly a third of the way to continue to rest.
Many people have had this experience, carrying 20 pounds of things, walking for a while, feeling that they have become 30 pounds, and walking for a while, they have become 50 pounds.
The situation in front of me is similar to that, the pig is getting heavier and heavier, mainly because the road is too difficult to walk, and carrying such a heavy pig will accidentally slide backwards.
When he took a breath again, Zhang Dewang pointed to a bamboo forest a little farther away and said to his son, "Go and see if there are any winter bamboo shoots there." ”
Zhang Wei got the order, happily agreed, and wanted to run over. Then he remembered something, and went to borrow a shovel from Li Li.
I often work with my grandfather, he is already very experienced, and the winter bamboo shoots here are very delicious and delicious.
Winter bamboo shoots are the best when they are still in the mud.
When it has not yet grown, the taste at that time is relatively crisp, the moisture is relatively large, and there is a sweetness when fried, a faint fragrance, and a bit like a cucumber.
But if you pass that season, when the winter bamboo shoots come out, at this time the things have accumulated a lot of energy for growth, so they will be relatively old to eat, the taste is much worse, and sometimes they can't even bite it.
Nowadays, wild winter bamboo shoots are not cheaply sold.
In fact, there are indeed valuable good things in the mountains, such as this wild winter bamboo shoots, how can they be sold for more than 30 catties, but it is too difficult to get out from here, and the quantity is not much, and it is not cost-effective to sell it a little bit.
This is the current situation in the mountain village.
It is different from large-scale planting, and after large-scale maturity, it can be directly transported to a large truck to sell.
So, although I know that it can be worth a little money, few people will sell it.
Unless you are particularly lucky, dig one or two hundred catties at a time or something, then it can be worth some money to sell it once, and it is worth that kind of payment.
Zhang Wei passed, digging east and west with a shovel to find it, Jiang Xiaoxuan also filmed at him, I felt that this child was very interesting, he knew so many things at such a young age, and he was stronger than many adults.
This is the legendary backer eating the mountain.
Zhou Heng also walked over and joined the army of digging bamboo shoots, hoping to have some harvest and stew today's wild boar.
He hadn't eaten wild boar for a long time, and it was really strange - when he went back, he would bring some back to his father and mother.
They are not too expert in digging winter bamboo shoots, Zhang Dewang and his uncle came over, and after they also joined in digging bamboo shoots, they were obviously more efficient - they are the real masters.
If it weren't for the purpose of carrying this wild boar, I probably wouldn't have walked this mountain road this year, which is also an additional gain.
After there were more people, the harvest was great, and she quickly dug up nearly twenty catties, and the bag brought by Li Li was also full-she was a little scared, how could this be moved?
For her, twenty catties is also terrifying, plus it is such a long mountain road.
This is really rewarding and worrying.
When digging up the winter bamboo shoots and closing the team, Hu Jinhua hung the bag on his shoulder, and he came to mention it - he still knew how many catties his girlfriend could have.
So, when the men changed shifts, they carried the bag empty-handed.
Carrying a pig, when they finally walked out of the mountain road, they saw the cart that came to pick them up, and suddenly felt light, and the stone was finally carried down the mountain.
After Zhang Dewang's wife received the call, she pushed a cart over on time, which was really good.
The little girl of their family also came with them in a cart, and she was still thinking of going back by cart, but when she saw such a big wild boar, it looked so scary that she was so frightened that she jumped down quickly and refused to stay with the wild boar.
After a long journey, we finally got home, and then began to prepare to process wild boar.
First of all, you have to boil water and scald your hair, and a pig that is so fat will make a few people happy. It's not easy to carry it back, but when you eat meat for a while, it's not to mention how refreshing it is.
The wild boar was discovered by Zhang Dewang's uncle, but it was brought back by everyone, and if he killed and ate the first meat, he must have eaten it first.
Then, the cut meat was given to the neighbor's family and the neighbor's family, and his uncle's family kept the big head, and his own family kept some to eat, and then sold some for money.
They are all from the villagers, and no one is embarrassed to eat alone.
After scalding the hair, burn the unclean places such as pig's trotters, and then prepare to cut it, today is really like the New Year.
Next, there is nothing to do with Zhou Heng and them, just rest, just wait for it to be cooked and eat meat.
It's strange for Wang Caijun to see everything, obviously he just helped carry the pig back, and he was tired of becoming a dog - the dog is not as exaggerated as him, but now he still sees people cutting pigs everywhere and cutting pieces, which feels very strange.
However, the smile on everyone's face, that's not fake.
This simple happiness can really infect him.
Here, a few children were playing with interest in pulling the cans of sheep and getting the worms out inside, and one of them was about to make a little whistle to play.
