Chapter 16: A Picnic Between Busy Hours

Weeding and burying fertilizer has ended, Li Ya decided to go to the woods on the top of the mountain to have a picnic in order to treat himself well, and by the way, let everyone have a chance to relax after the tense farming.

Li Ya told a few brothers about the idea of a picnic, and then, one by one, men and women actually gathered in a large group.

There are many people and lively, in the ditch in the rice field, catch some yellow eel loach, fungus mushrooms in the forest and wild vegetables that are not yet old, hares and pheasants in the col, everything that can be eaten at this time in the mountains, almost do not let go, as well as picking firewood, etc., the first day can only be prepared for the picnic. What's even more powerful is that the third uncle and Brother Yuanzhi actually caught more than a dozen snakes, planning to eat a good meal.

In the evening, everyone went to bed early with a happy mood, and the next morning began to bring the prepared things, and the cauldron and basin of the production team went up the mountain. Li Ya paid attention to it, and only the older one who planned to eat snake meat came with him.

When everyone arrived at the place they found yesterday, they saw a pile of corn and a pile of sweet potatoes on the ground, and asked who brought them. Li Ya smiled and said: "That, I didn't herd pigs, I found a place, and if I was not careful, I lost something." As you know, this thing will sprout and grow on its own, so I have something to eat today. ”

The younger people just smiled and praised Li Ya for actually thinking of planting things in the mountains, but the older ones were already thinking about whether to do the same. The land in the forest can be planted without fertilizing, but when the crops are grown, the animals in the forest are also very bad. Think about it this way, planting sweet potatoes, these potatoes may be more harvested.

If you have a lot of strength, you can go to the pond next to you to carry water, which is the drinking water of the production team, and the pool is enlarged by the ancestors, and it is covered with river sand.

The water is poured into the pot and heated so that the meat is easy to clean, and the water is used to wash the mushrooms and wild vegetables. Except for the third uncle, they are all young people, and they are much more relaxed when they speak, laughing and making trouble.

The big pot of vegetables, or wild vegetables, has to be commanded by the third uncle, Li Ya said happily: "Fortunately, the third uncle, you are also here, or you have to go back and ask someone to help." ”

Uncle San smiled and said, "Just you girls and boys, it's good to be able to eat it! ”

Li Ya asked, "Third uncle, what are you going to do?"

Sanbo said proudly: "It's called flower chicken, dragon and phoenix soup, and Buddha jumping over the wall." ”

Li Ya was taken aback, and called the flower chicken is to put the seasoning in the belly of the chicken, and wrap it in a layer of mud on the outside and bury it and burn it. Dragon and phoenix soup is a soup stewed with snakes and pheasants, and Li Ya was also fortunate to taste it. But this Buddha jumping over the wall is a tall thing, and there is no material here. So he said, "But there is no such thing as a Buddha jumping over the wall?"

The third uncle smiled: "It can only be simplified because of ugliness, in fact, I don't know the real Buddha jumping over the wall, but I have seen a little introduction on the genealogy." There are no rice wine jars for decades, so use your own wine jars, you see I have brought them. The materials are used now, and the Buddha jumping over the wall is also a hodgepodge anyway. It's just as delicious to make, and you'll know in the afternoon. ”

Li Ya couldn't help but be amazed by the exaggeration of the third uncle, this can also be called Buddha jumping over the wall? That called flower chicken may also be like what Li Ya had eaten in his previous life, it should just be used by name, and the dragon and phoenix soup may be similar to what Li Ya had eaten in his previous life.

The cleaning process was completed, and the third uncle boiled his so-called Buddha jumping over the wall. On one side, a pile of red coals had been burned, and the third uncle commanded to make the lumps, and separate them from the sweet potatoes into the burning coals and bury them, seeing that the time was about the same, everyone began to peel the corn cobs, insert thin wooden strips and bake them in their hands. Soon the corn was scented, and everyone's noses kept moving.

Li Ya saw that Li Yuanfang's corn was too close to the fire, and it was already a little scorched, so he hurriedly said: "Far away, your bud grain is paste." ”

Li Yuanfang hurriedly picked it up and took a look, but fortunately there was only a little bit of skin, and then carefully roasted, no longer so close.

Roasted corn is definitely a girl's strong point, there is no roasted paste or half-baked, anyway, with Li Ya's experience of roasting corn countless times more than others, it is just a tie. As for the other brothers, the number of times they roasted corn may not be zero, but the few times they can not make a leap in technology, so most of them can only eat their own baked paste. After eating one corn, there is something in the stomach to cushion the bottom, and everyone carefully roasts the second one, after all, it is still like the first one, and it tastes a little bitter in the mouth.

Li Yuanjing's nose twitched suddenly, and he said, "The sweet potato is fragrant." Li Ya secretly said that this old brother's nose has reached the conditions of being a senior chef.

Roasted a few corn and ate it, and then the sweet potatoes were also ripe, and after eating the sweet potatoes, I finally pulled out the lumps of mud, and patted them gently, and a special fragrance escaped and I ate them all in a few clicks. Breakfast is served like this, and whoever is hungry after a while will come and cook sweet potatoes or corn by himself, and the big meal will not start until the afternoon.

After eating, it is time to play, brag, play and other kinds of circles. Li Yawei was surrounded by a group of braggart people, listening to everyone, and occasionally interjecting a few words. Everyone talked about what they saw or heard, such as the secretary of the brigade had retired to recuperate, and the captain would immediately become the secretary of the brigade. Li Ya answered the phone and told everyone about the uncle being the captain, and it was impossible for everyone to analyze and analyze. Anyway, Li Ya likes to get into the crowd of chatting, so that he can hear a lot of useful information, who called this Li Ya knows very little about a lot of common sense. In his previous life, Li Ya didn't care about the common sense of life, and then as soon as he graduated, he seemed to be from Mars, and he didn't understand a lot of things.

Cooking begins around 3 p.m., first boiling dragon and phoenix soup, then stir-frying meat and wild vegetable soup in another pot, then roasting sweet potatoes and corn, and finally roasting meat while eating.

With the addition of the third uncle, the picnic was very good, Li Ya sighed: "A picnic with the third uncle is a picnic!" Everyone nodded when they heard this, and unanimously decided that they would want the third uncle to help in the future. Sanbo also likes such a lively scene, and there are many people and materials, and there is a lot of time to boil soup, and the dragon and phoenix soup and Buddha jumping over the wall he made are also better than going back. Many sisters also drank some dragon and phoenix soup under the leadership of the third uncle's daughter, Sister Li Ya, and said that the taste was too good.

Eating and making trouble, eating the bowl and pot, and eating the corn and sweet potatoes, I packed up the tools and went down the mountain after seven o'clock.

When he got home, Li Ya didn't have to eat dinner anymore, and he had to go out for a walk to eliminate food. Walking under the big tree, there was already a group of people who had already arrived, but everyone just stood and talked, Li Ya couldn't help but say: "Isn't it to go and eliminate food, how to consume food if you don't go?" Go down and circle along Cuiwei Lake, not only can you enjoy the cool evening breeze, but also breathe fresh air and listen to the beautiful frog calls. ”

Everyone also felt that it was not a problem to stand, so they simply went to the lake to go around.

Walking and walking, Li Ya saw the rice field, and remembered the dry valley again, and said: "I don't know if there is a dry valley in the county, if there is, there will be no corn planted on the slope, and it will be planted as dry grain, so that there will be no corn weeding so tiring." ”

The eldest brother asked, "Wadi is upland rice, right?"

Li Ya said: "It is said that the beaten rice is a little red, but the taste is also very fragrant. ”

Li Yuanjing said: "Then you have to plant a little first, otherwise you won't feel at ease, and you will still be tired next year." Even if they are all planted with upland rice, it is not much easier, and plowing can plow people and cry. ”

Li Ya had no choice but to say: "It will be fine in the future, buy a tractor, the tractor is not cost-effective, then ask the county factory to build a smaller machine to plow the land, one machine can be worth two or three cows a day." And this machine is lightweight, there is really no way, and it can be carried to the ground twice apart, which is very convenient. ”

Li Yuanfang smiled: "This machine is still waiting for you to build." "They haven't seen it, of course, they don't know, in the future, this small cultivator is the most popular cultivator in the mountainous area, but I heard that some people use it improperly and cause casualties, and it can't stop its spread. Li Ya plans to find an opportunity to get one of these cultivators at the county's agricultural machinery station next year, and find a way to increase protection measures, so that it will be almost the same.
