As soon as Zhang Feng returned from the mountain temple, his mother walked into the courtyard and instructed him:

"Xiaofeng, you can go catch some yellow eels later, there are old customers who have booked ten catties. ”

"Got it, Mom!" Zhang Feng nodded, then got up from the recliner and walked towards the utility room.

Zhang Feng's utility room is actually a small room next to the kitchen, about ten square meters, in which all kinds of tools and farm tools are placed.

hoes, sickles, saws, axes, fishing nets, fishing rods...... There are also some pesticides and fertilizers at home that are placed here.

Zhang Feng got into the hut, took the net from the wall, filled some bait with a small box, and walked to the backyard with a bucket.

The yellow eels in Zhang Feng's backyard are not sold out very much, and only when regular customers come, they will sell some to them.

However, due to the good quality and fragrant taste of yellow eel, although the price is very expensive, it costs 100 yuan a catty, and there are still old customers who come to buy every once in a while, and it is five or six catties at a time.

No, there are two old people who come to the door to book today, one of them ordered five catties, even if he can't eat it himself, don't worry, just put it in a bucket in a hurry, and he won't die for three or five days.

And it can also be given to relatives and friends, the yellow eel in Moon Lake is a very sought-after thing, and ordinary people can't buy it.

…………

"Hey, Xiaoyi, where are you going?" Zhang Feng sent the yellow eel to his mother's stall, and as soon as he walked back, he met Zhang Yi, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he was about to enter the mountain.

"Brother, I'll go into the mountains to cut bamboo. ”

"What are you doing chopping bamboo?" Zhang Feng asked curiously.

"Didn't my mom keep dozens of chickens in the backyard? I'm going to chop some bamboo and come back and make a fence to fence the backyard. Zhang Yi said in a fifteen-ten.

Zhang Feng is fine,

climbed into Zhang Yi's car and followed his cousin into the mountain.

"Why does the second aunt think about raising chickens?" Walking on the mountain road, Zhang Feng asked Zhang Yi.

"My mother said that the backyard was panicked, so she bought dozens of chicks and raised them in the back, so that the hens could lay eggs and the roosters could be sold to tourists. Zhang Yi said as he walked.

"Not bad!!! Now the free-range chickens in the village are very popular with tourists, and the free-range chickens of the mountain master's house cost a hundred yuan!" Zhang Feng nodded.

"Hehe, my mom probably thinks so too!"

Zhang Feng felt that the second aunt's idea was really good, their backyard was wider than Zhang Feng's, about 300 square meters, such a large piece of land, full of bamboo forests and miscellaneous trees, it was useless at all.

Therefore, it is better to raise some free-range chickens, and the old vegetable leaves cut down from the vegetable field every day can also be used to feed the chickens, and the local chickens fed with the vegetables of Moon Lake are also a big gimmick.

In the bamboo forest of Zhang Yi's house, there are not only golden bamboos, cotton bamboos, but also tall and stout spotted bamboos, but these are local names, and he doesn't know what they are called outside.

Among them, the golden bamboo is slender and tough, Zhang Feng often used it to make fishing rods when he was a child, the thickness of the bamboo is moderate, the diameter is generally about ten centimeters, but its flexibility is very good, it is the best raw material for bamboo weaving.

As for the spotted bamboo, everyone may be familiar with it, but this is not the spotted bamboo on the Internet, but a tall and stout bamboo, which can reach twenty or thirty meters high and more than twenty centimeters thick.

The villagers don't use much of the bamboo, and the most useful estimate is to use it to make chopsticks, and Zhang Feng really doesn't know about other uses.

"Hey, Xiaoyi, look, there are bamboo shoots here!" Suddenly, Zhang Feng saw a bamboo shoot that had just emerged with small sharp horns, and his face was suddenly happy.

"It's been there for a long time, my dad dug a few roots a few days ago, if you want it, I'll dig a few back. Zhang Yi said disapprerovingly.

"No, your bamboo shoots have been unearthed, and my family is not the same!" Zhang Feng shook his head and refused politely, if you want to eat, just dig a few in your own bamboo forest.

Along the way, it barely took a few steps to see a fresh bamboo shoot, and some of them had grown a meter or two tall and had grown into bamboo.

Bamboo shoots grow super fast, and as a rule of thumb, freshly sprouted bamboo shoots can grow to a height of one or two meters in less than a week as long as the weather is suitable.

Therefore, the harvest period of bamboo shoots is very short, and if you are not careful, you will miss the time to dig.

"Xiaoyi, how about you look at this bamboo?" Zhang Feng pointed to a somewhat yellowish spotted bamboo and suggested to Zhang Yi.

"Okay, that's it!"

Although the spotted bamboo is not very useful, it is still good to use as a skeleton for fences.

The rest of the part needs to be woven with bamboo. Therefore, spotted bamboo and cotton bamboo are used.

"It's so hard!!" This old spotted bamboo has been around for at least ten years, so the skin is thick and hard, Zhang Yi cut it down with a knife, only to cut a little skin, and the knife was broken back.

"Let me come!" Zhang Feng smiled, he has a lot of strength, so he is suitable for gnawing such hard bones.

In fact, whether it is cutting trees or cutting bamboo, there are some small skills.

The most important point is that it should not be cut horizontally, but should be forced diagonally downward, so that it is easy to break the fibrous tissue of trees and bamboo.

The second skill of cutting bamboo is to choose a good direction, and to make the bamboo fall to the ground in an open place, you need to cut which place with a knife.

Boom Boom!!

Every time Zhang Feng cut down, he could cut a big hole, and the bamboo chips splashed, and after a while, he heard the sound of the bamboo clicking, and it seemed that he was about to fall to the ground.

"Xiaoyi, get out of the way and stand on it!"

Zhang Feng ordered his cousin, and the cousin immediately ran to the other side.

After the cousin left, Zhang Feng pushed hard, and the tall spotted bamboo clicked and fell to the ground with a bang, and the branches and leaves covered the ground.

Some people may say that bamboo doesn't have no branches and leaves? In fact, this is an illusion, how can bamboo have no branches and leaves, but there are only a few branches.

Fresh bamboo leaves can be used to wrap zongzi, such zongzi have a fragrant taste and a faint aroma of bamboo leaves.

"Xiaoyi, you go get the saw, let's cut it first and then pull it back. ”

"Okay, brother!" Zhang Yi responded, and immediately brought the saw from the ground.

"You can saw, the sawing is about three meters long! I'll cut some bamboo." Zhang Feng stood up with a firewood knife, and then said to his cousin.

Zhang Yi nodded, such a job as sawing bamboo couldn't be simpler, even seven or eight-year-old children in the countryside can do it.

The brothers did the division of labor and began to act separately.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Feng cut down more than a dozen bamboos, and all of them were dismembered into a section of about three meters.

"Xiaoyi, you go to Xiaomian to look at it, I'll slide the bamboo down from above, don't let people get close!" Seeing that his cousin was also finished, Zhang Feng said just like his cousin's command.

"Don't worry, brother, I understand!" The two brothers have worked together many times.

Because the mountain road is difficult to walk, if you honestly carry the bamboo down the mountain one by one, it is not only time-consuming but also laborious, so the two guys have found such an easy way since childhood, which is to throw it directly from the mountain and follow the mountain.

I have to say that this method is really good, after the villagers saw it, they were also amazed, and later they gradually adopted the method of Zhang Feng's brothers.
