Chapter 182: The Clever Big Black
About half an hour
Zhang Feng had already picked a basket full of prickly pears, and he estimated that there were about five or six catties of prickly pears with his hands.
"Big black and little black have gone home......" After picking prickly pears, Zhang Feng stood up and found that the two puppies had disappeared, so he shouted loudly around.
"Wang...... ......Hearing Zhang Feng's call, the two puppies rushed out of the bushes with a bark, and ran towards Zhang Feng quickly with their powerful thighs.
Although the two puppies are only five or six months old, they are already forty or fifty centimeters tall at this time, and they weigh forty or fifty pounds.
In the blink of an eye, the two little ones have grown so big, Zhang Feng smiled and felt extremely emotional,
These two little guys are just like their own children, watching them grow up little by little, although they are naughty but also well-behaved, the two little ones have become the pistachios of the family, love to be spoiled, love to sell cuteness makes the whole family very fond, and the two puppies have become an indispensable part of the family.
"Let's go home......"
"Wang...... Wang Wang ...... "The two little guys ran to Zhang Feng's side and arched their master's legs with their heads, looking very affectionate.
"Okay, okay, look at the fl......uff on my pants," Zhang Feng couldn't help but laugh and hurriedly pushed the two puppies away.
"Big Black, take the basket, let's go home......"
"Wang...... Wang Wang ......" Da Hei responded, obediently holding the bamboo basket in his mouth, and followed Zhang Feng steadily, for this kind of work, he was obviously familiar with it.
Just like that, one man and two dogs walked on the way home
Zhang Feng, the owner, leisurely put his hands behind his back and enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the side of the road.
But Da Hei became a coolie, honestly helping the master carry things, and obviously became Zhang Feng's little brother.
"Wow! what a cute dog......" Suddenly the two female tourists saw Da Hei carrying a fruit basket and exclaimed, obviously moved by Da Hei's intelligence and sensibility.
The two female tourists saw the slender body and black hair, they liked it very much, and they were a little scared when they wanted to step forward, so they could only hold their mobile phones from a distance and keep shooting.
Zhang Feng smiled when he saw it and continued to walk forward.
I met a lot of tourists along the way, and many of them felt very interesting, and they followed behind Da Hei and took pictures of Da Hei carrying fruit baskets, and then everyone immediately sent the photos to the circle of friends.
Soon these photos caused a sensation in the circle of friends, and everyone praised Da Hei as a good dog, as for Zhang Feng, of course, he became a 'lazy man' in everyone's eyes, a villain who oppressed dogs, and caused everyone's 'verbal criticism'.
Of course Zhang Feng didn't know, and even if he knew, he could only hehe, and he wouldn't take it to heart.
It wasn't until Zhang Feng brought the big black and the little black back home that the people who followed behind slowly dispersed.
"Big brother is back......"
"Oh, Da Hei is so good, he came back with so many prickly pears. The little sister couldn't help but exclaim, and immediately ran over and touched the big black head lovingly.
"Little sister came over to help. Zhang Feng carried the prickly pear to the stone table, ready to get rid of all the fine thorns on the prickly pear, brew a jar of prickly pear wine, and make the rest into sugar prickly pear, that is, soak the prickly pear in sugar water, so that it will no longer taste so sour, and the sweet taste is good.
"How!" the little sister took a stool and came over to help remove the tender thorns from the prickly pear.
There are many thorns on the prickly pear body that are very sharp, so you should be careful when you get it, otherwise it will be easy to prick, and you generally use your thumb to the side, so that it is easy to erase the fine thorns on the prickly pear fruit.
"Well, the taste is okay...... "The little gluttonous cat Zhang Yue chose a big yellow prickly pear, removed the fine thorns on it, and then broke the prickly pear flesh to remove the seeds inside, and then stuffed it into his mouth in one bite.
"How's it going? Sweet aftertaste, isn't it?" Eating prickly pear is similar to eating olives, and when you first eat it, the taste is average, but after a while, it has a very fragrant aftertaste, which is endless.
"Well, it's not bad. The little sister nodded.
After a while, the eldest sister and Zhang Lin also came over to help, and the number of people was strong, and they quickly cleaned up the basket full of prickly pears.
"Xiao Feng makes so many prickly pears ready to soak in wine??" the eldest sister asked curiously.
"Well, I'm going to make half of the prickly pear into wine, and the rest of the prickly pear will be made into prickly pear in sugar water. Zhang Feng nodded and said his plan.
Prickly pear wine is a common medicinal wine in rural areas, it has the effect of strengthening the stomach and eliminating appetite, but it is more troublesome to make, the simplest prickly pear wine also needs to be soaked for a year, and the taste of prickly pear wine is better after soaking for two or three years.
In the past, when his father was still there, there was often a jar of prickly pear wine at home, and Zhang Feng sometimes took advantage of the absence of adults to secretly take a sip, although the taste was a little spicy, but there was also a fragrance of prickly pear that was evocative.
As for the prickly pear in sugar water, it is the same as the wild pear in sugar water, both of which are to use sugar to remove the sourness in the fruit and make the fruit taste better.
However, to make prickly pear in sugar water, it is not only necessary to remove the fine thorns on the fruit, but also to dig up the seeds in the fruit, so that after soaking in sugar water for two or three days, you can eat it directly, and then remove the seeds when you don't need to eat it, which reduces a lot of trouble.
After getting the prickly pear soaked in wine, Zhang Feng walked towards Uncle Erniu's house with the wine bottle.
At noon, Uncle Er Niu happened to be at home, and the glutinous rice wine he brewed at home was the best wine in the nearby Shili Village, and even sometimes people from the city would come to visit.
"Little duckling, what are you doing?" Zhang Feng walked into the yard of Uncle Erniu's house and saw that the little duck was pouting his butt and playing with crickets or something.
"Ahh The little guy happily showed off to Zhang Feng.
The little ones have recently had a cricket cage, which is a small square box made of bamboo, and everyone got together to let the crickets fight, to see whose crickets have strong combat effectiveness, every day by the Moon Lake or under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, you can see the little guys fighting crickets.
"The madman is here, come into the house and sit!" Uncle Erniu heard Zhang Feng's voice and immediately walked out and said with a smile.
"I won't sit down, you give me five catties of glutinous rice wine, and I have to go home to make prickly pear wine." Zhang Feng handed the wine jug to Uncle Erniu.
"Okay, then you can wait a while. Uncle Er Niu entered the house and opened the wine jar, and suddenly a rich aroma of wine wafted out, which was really fragrant for ten miles, and the wine was full of wine.
After five catties of wine returned home, Zhang Feng poured all the wine into the ceramic jar, then put it into the prickly pear, and finally sealed the wine jar and put it into the sweet potato kiln in the backyard.
In this way, the first step of making prickly pear wine was finally completed, and the rest was left to time, and it is estimated that after digging it out in a year, the golden prickly pear wine will be successful.
