“netdereverything,Tofee1thenet,Ireanetfee1ittoo,……”

net's high-pitched, clear voice suddenly sounded, waking Xiao Feng up from his sleep.

Since returning to Ginkgo Village, the gradually finalized biological clock has made Xiao Feng abandon the alarm clock and wake up at seven o'clock in the morning every day.

Xiao Feng lay on the bed and was stunned for a while, and then he realized that he set an alarm clock today because the family was going to kill pigs.

Without much hesitation, Xiao Feng got up from the bed with a carp!

After washing his face with warm Qingling spring water in the courtyard sink, Xiao Feng completely woke up, after all, he went to bed an hour early last night, and the sleep time was still enough.

Even in the late autumn season, Qingling Spring can still maintain a water temperature of about 2o degrees, and the dense air emitted by the spring water is steaming between the bluestone ancient houses, making the entire Ginkgo Village like a fairyland.

These days, more and more tourists are now, and it is the magical spiritual spring coupled with the miraculous water diversion system that gives Ginkgo Village more aura and vitality. It can be said that Qingling Spring makes Ginkgo Village have a completely different freshness from other scenic spots, and it is even more intoxicating.

"Grandpa, you can sleep for a while!" Xiao Feng had just finished washing up when he saw the old lady open the door and walk out.

"I'm a light sleeper, I've woken up a long time ago!" the old lady waved his hand. said: "After a while, the sound is earth-shattering, it's strange that I can still sleep!"

Xiao Feng thought about it too. Without further ado, he went into the warehouse and carried out two large iron pots with a diameter of more than 1.2 meters and put them on the simple stove that had been built yesterday evening.

At half past five, Ginkgo Village was still immersed in sleep, looking down from the dam, only sporadic lights were on, and the night owls and insects in the woods occasionally heard one or two sounds, which seemed even more lonely.

Pouring four large barrels of spring water into each cauldron, Xiao Feng squatted on the ground and began to light the fire. After a while, the fire of the kung fu stove burned brightly, and the red flames reflected his face.

Pine wood is easy to ignite, and the charcoal after the iron birch wood has been burned can continue to dissipate strong heat, so after the pine wood is completely burned, Xiao Feng put pieces of split iron birch wood into the earthen stove.

Burning a fire seems very simple, but if you want to burn it well, you still need a little experience, Xiao Feng was familiar with it when he was a child. It's not hard at all.

After the fire started, Xiao Feng carried a flashlight into the vegetable garden, broke off a dozen corn cobs from a few bushes of corn at the base of the wall, and returned to the dam.

Sitting on a wooden stake, Xiao Feng carefully placed the corn cob with the skin next to the stove and kept turning it. After a while, a faint burnt aroma began to appear.

"Brother Jiu, when are you coming back?!" Just as Xiao Feng was concentrating on roasting corn, Xiao Qiang's voice rang out.

Usually Xiao Qiang sleeps in the old house, but yesterday afternoon he and Xiao Dazhi went to the county seat to run errands and came back very late. And he lived at the foot of the mountain. Today, when the pig was killed at home, he also set an alarm clock. I thought he was the earliest, but I didn't expect Xiao Feng to raise the fire.

"I came back yesterday afternoon!" Xiao Feng didn't reply, and said, "I heard grandpa say that your progress in planting trees is quite fast these days!"

"Roasted corn, it tastes so fragrant!" Xiao Qiang rubbed his hands, pulled over a wooden stake, sat down, and said: "This time I will receive money according to the number of trees, and the enthusiasm of the villagers is very high, 2o thousand saplings, all of them have been planted in less than a week!"

From the beginning of the start of the Xiao family ranch to the present, it has lasted nearly two months, and Xiao Qiang has also grown from an ignorant teenager to a semi-qualified farm manager, and the progress is still quite obvious.

"The tree is planted, but the next daily management is the key, how to introduce technical talents, you have to discuss with Dazhi and the fourth brother; in addition, the expansion of ponds and lakes, dredging and disinfection work should also be carried out, and all kinds of aquatic products must be introduced after the beginning of spring!" Xiao Qiang's progress is gratifying, but Xiao Feng can't help but mention it on the side, hoping that he can manage the Xiao family farm better.

"Well, I see!" Xiao Qiang nodded solemnly.

Before taking over the Xiao family's farm, Xiao Qiang always thought that being the boss was very simple, and it was okay to be a shopkeeper like Xiao Feng, but when he was in it, Xiao Qiang knew that behind the brilliance and chic was more hard work and dedication. Don't look at Xiao Feng, the big boss, who has a very leisurely life, but this is based on his careful planning of the entire Mirror Lake area.

With the deepening of his own experience, Xiao Qiang's admiration for Xiao Feng is increasing day by day.

The two brothers chatted without saying a word, and the corn next to the fire continued to emit a rich fragrance, which made the gluttonous worms of the two people slowly emerge.

However, before they could do it, Xiao Jinxu, Xiao Jun, Xiao Jian, Xiao Dazhi's ancestors and grandchildren, plus Xiao Jinming, Xiao Tao, Xiao Hai and his son, and Xiao Jinhao also arrived at the old mansion in 6 consecutive years.

Every year after the end of the autumn harvest, the Xiao family will kill pigs, marinate ham, bacon, stuff sausages, etc. in the old house, and the adult men of the Xiao family will be dispatched at this time, which is also a tradition of the Xiao family for hundreds of years. Of course, because the harvest varies from year to year and the family situation is different, the number of pigs killed each year is constantly changing.

In a sense, killing pigs after the autumn harvest means that Ginkgo Village is about to enter a long winter!

"Uncle, you're here!" Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xiao Feng stood up and said, "Eat a stick of corn first, and then do it!"

"It's okay!" Xiao Jinxu saw that it was hot and dark, nodded and took the corn cob handed over by Xiao Feng.

Peeling off the burnt skin, the corn kernels that had been ripe emitted steaming heat, and the rich aroma of corn came to his face, so that Xiao Feng couldn't help but indulge in it.

After Xiao Feng returned to Ginkgo Village, these corns were planted in the vegetable garden after soaking them in the space spirit spring, and they have been watered with the pure space spirit spring for several months, and the quality can be imagined.

Xiao Feng took a bite gently, and the soft texture of waxy corn exploded in his mouth. An indescribable fragrance also appeared, making people want to stop.

"Little wind. Where did you get this corn, it's delicious!"

"Xiaofeng, your skills are good!"

"Brother Jiu, is this corn the kind of waxy corn that is used in the vegetable garden?"

Just when Xiao Feng was intoxicated by the delicious roasted corn, the others were babbling about these corns, because they had never tasted such good corn.

"These corns are experimental products in the vegetable garden, what do you think?" Xiao Feng took another big bite and said vaguely: "After the beginning of spring, we can interplant this corn on the farm." It's good both for sale to tourists and for external sales!"

As soon as Xiao Feng said this, everyone immediately nodded again and again!

Not only does the corn taste excellent, but it is also large enough for an adult's arm, and the corn cob is small, so the yield is certainly not small, and it is also a good income increase if it can be interplanted in the farm's orchard.

Since Xiao Feng classified the farm as a clan property. And after formulating extremely detailed reward regulations, the enthusiasm of the entire Xiao family has been greatly improved, and everyone is full of thoughts about how to make the farm as profitable as possible. Xiao Feng's construction naturally won everyone's recognition, and soon discussions began around the planting and sales of corn.

Everyone ate corn and discussed, and soon the sky began to brighten.

"Let's get to work!" Xiao Jinxu threw the corn cob in his hand into the fire and began to assign tasks.

"Xiao Jun, Xiao Jian, Xiao Tao, Xiao Feng, Xiao Qiang and Da Zhi, the six of you go to the pigsty and carry the pigs over. The second and third children washed the stone platform and prepared the knives!" "The Xiao family kills pigs every year, and Xiao Jinxu has been familiar with every procedure for decades.

Xiao Jinxu, who has studied in his sixties, naturally does not have to do it himself, his current task is to do a good job of overall command.

As for the old lady and the old lady, they finished the morning five-bird drama workout, and were standing by to watch a group of children and grandchildren busy with work. The face is as bright as a chrysanthemum.

Xiao Feng, under the leadership of his eldest brother Xiao Jun, walked from the edge of the old mansion to the pigsty in the backyard. There are already 1o local black pigs waiting for them.

These black pigs are purchased by the Xiao family from nearby villages, they have been stocked on alpine meadows since childhood, and their staple food is pasture, Chinese herbs, berries and fungi, and they have not been fed, and it generally takes two years to grow to 2oo catties.

In previous years, the Xiao family would kill two or three black pigs at most, and sometimes these black pigs were still raised by themselves.

However, this year, the Xiao family has many happy events, and Xiao Feng decided to kill 1o black pigs at one time, which can not only make the family feast, but also make the warehouse more enriched.

In recent years, due to the concept of green and healthy diet, this hormone-free green black pig has been favored by high-end restaurants in Yaozhou and Chuncheng, and the price has been rising. The Xiao family spent 25ooo yuan for these 1o black pigs, which is about twice as high as ordinary pigs.

These black pigs seemed to sense that the situation was not good, and when Xiao Feng and the others walked into the pigsty, they began to scream at the top of their throats.

These black pigs run on the grassland all day long, not only with strong muscles, but also with a large voice, just like many plateau singers, with high notes reaching the sky!

The screams of the 1o black pigs came and went, just like a choir holding a concert, and immediately resounded through Ginkgo Village, waking up the entire village.

However, Xiao Feng and the others were not disturbed by the noise at all, they worked in groups of three, and immediately grabbed the target after seeing it, knocked it to the ground, trapped the limbs and mouth of the black pig, and the movements were extremely skillful.

In the blink of an eye, 1o black pigs could only lie on the ground with a heavy gasping sound, and what was waiting for them would be a snow-white pig-killing knife.

Next, Xiao Feng and the others began to carry the bundled black pig to the dam, ready to slaughter it.

At this time, many people had already come to the dam, and the clansmen of the Xiao family and the men of other families in the village had come up to help. After all, today there are 1o black pigs, and even if the men of the Xiao family have three heads and six arms, they can't handle them all.

This is also a tradition in the village, when killing pigs, other people in the village will take the initiative to come to help, whether the family has popularity and prestige in the village, you can see a hint from this day.

As the water in the big iron pot begins to boil, the pig killing feast is about to be staged!
