Chapter 149: Potbelly Pig

After listening to the old Tao's words, Le Lang asked strangely, "Why?" ”

"The day before yesterday, your uncle asked me to help you choose a son, I did the math and found that this year is not a good year. You don't have to be in a hurry, get married first, and then get married next year, that is, make up for a wedding wine, it's not a big deal. I've done the math, if you're not in a hurry, then you're going to get married in August next year, and that's just the right time, what do you think? Lao Dao said to Shaoqing and Le Lang.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

"Anyway, we don't understand this, just according to what you say." Le Lang said to Lao Dao.

"Well, that's settled." After speaking, he scooped a bowl of white wine from the pot and ate it. The liquor is sweet and delicious, but it has a taste of wine, and it still feels a little smoky after eating too much, but it is harmless to the body.

In the afternoon, Le Lang was going up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots, Cai Shaoqing and the others were going to go after seeing it, and Le Lang hurriedly drank them. Just kidding, the mosquitoes and black crows on this mountain, the two of them have fine skin and tender meat, and they must be sucked into white bone essence as soon as they go up. Besides, he can't let the family know about the fact that he has a jade Ruyi space, and with them, maybe he will be exposed if he is not careful.

Mountain paths, overgrown with weeds. After a few days, the grass grows taller again, and if the road is not constantly walked, the grass may have covered the entire road. Le Lang sometimes can't look past it, and he will take a hoe to hoe this grassy mountain road, but after a burst of rain, the grass will "rub" out.

When he came to the bamboo garden, Le Lang took out a bamboo shoot knife and beat the bamboo shoots. These bamboo shoots on the mountain are not dug every day, but once a day or two, but if it rains, the bamboo shoots will "swish" and fly up, and they will grow tall again without looking at them for a day or two, and some even spit green, and the green bamboo shoots that spit green are not edible, and they are very bitter. It doesn't matter if you have hemp shoots, because you can use them to make sour bamboo shoots, as long as they are not too old.

In fact, there are two batches of bamboo shoots in the village, one is harvested early in the morning, and they mainly collect fresh green bamboo shoots. The freshly dug green bamboo shoots have an earthy smell, the taste is sweet and crisp, and it is very delicious, so the price is a little more expensive.

But not everyone can be so diligent to get up early in the morning to dig bamboo shoots, and digging bamboo shoots sometimes has to go over the mountains and mountains to spend a lot of effort, sometimes a morning is not necessarily busy, so from noon there is a purchase point in the village to collect green bamboo shoots, they soak the collected bamboo shoots in water, so that the bamboo shoots will not get old, but the taste is not as good as just dug out. At this time, the price of green bamboo shoots is cheaper, and some people who can't sell it in the morning will sell it at this time.

In the mountains, sometimes some people collect hemp shoots and sometimes no one collects them, and the ones who collect hemp shoots are some factories that make canned pickles, but Xiaoxi Village is located in the deep mountains, and they may not even be able to earn oil fees when they come here to collect hemp shoots, so no one comes to collect them. At present, most of the bamboo shoots planted by people in Xiaoxi Village are green bamboo shoots, and few people plant hemp bamboo shoots.

Banana orchards on the mountain are also only up for a while, mainly to cut bananas, sometimes also come to hoe weeds, fertilizer, bananas and bamboo shoots have an advantage, that is, easy to manage, in addition to fertilization, hoeing and weeding, other times you can sit and wait for the harvest, or do some other things. Now the bananas on the mountain have been replanted by Lelang with the kind of big bananas brought by Thailand, the original millet bananas are still a little, but those ordinary bananas were all dug up by him, leaving only some transplanted to the bottom of the mountain Le Lang led a spring from the mountain to flow down from above, and then he felt that this was not very good, so he dug a ditch behind each terrace of the banana orchard, so that the spring water slowly flowed down the ditch, so that even if there was a drought, the banana orchard would be fine.

After digging the bamboo shoots, Le Lang cut a few more bunches of ripe bananas, and the pineapples over there should also be some ripe, so I wanted to go over and cut them by the way.

Now the fruit has entered the peak season, in southern Fujian has this benefit, the fruit is continuous all year round, especially this season, from the beginning of spring, bayberry, plum, mulberry, mango, lotus mist, lychee, pineapple, jujube, bale, sugarcane, loquat and so on, and there are a lot of fruits not to say, sometimes these fruits are basically a day to change, and they are all in season. If you don't eat early-maturing fruits, the fruits will be cheap until later.

Although Nanzhou is famous for its abundance of fruits, the farmers in Nanzhou are also bitter, which is actually related to the local political axe. Each political axe leader serves a three-year term, and after taking a handful of money, patting his ass and leaving, he doesn't care if the people live or die. Nanzhou is famous for its agriculture, but no one has made this thing into an industry, which is very sad.

The Nanzhou political axe is actually very unpopular in the local area, everyone scolds and scolds when they mention it, and they have already starved to death by relying on the political axe. However, I heard that the recent reorganization of the political axe department may be a bit new, but what does this have to do with the people. The common people are the kindest, and what he cares about is not the quality of you, the leader of the political axe, but whether he can make the people live a rich life.

When I came to the pineapple field, I saw a bunch of pineapples rising to the sky, and under the blue sky and white clouds, Lelang had a majestic and mighty feeling.

Pineapple is also pineapple, and it is actually called "Weng pear" in Hokkien language. The pineapples in the pineapple field are all plump, and some have even been yellow, although this wild pineapple is not large, but it is better than enough water, delicious and juicy. Although it tastes good, in fact, no one collects this kind of pineapple in the fruit market, because it is too small and has no meat, and it is generally sold by some small vendors, and the price is pitiful.

Le Lang was about to walk over to cut pineapples, when suddenly, a monster came from the side. The monster is about one meter, the tail is almost half a meter long, the back is black, the ventral surface is yellow-white, there are black and white lines on both sides, and the tail also has black and yellow rings, and there are often small yellow spots on the black rings; Strong limbs with sharp claws on toes; There are small maculas on the back.

Waiting for that guy to walk in, Le Lang looked at it, isn't this a pot-bellied pig?

The big-bellied pig is actually a monitor lizard, that is, a big lizard, but everyone here in southern Fujian calls this thing a big-bellied pig, and I don't know what looks like a pig about this thing.

The belly pig is the general name of the lizard class in southern Fujian, this belly pig also has a size, the small belly pig is all over the ground, black, yellow, purple, white, a lot of spots, and this pot-bellied pig Lelang has only seen this one.

Big-bellied pigs live mainly on land, and prefer to inhabit near streams in mountainous areas or coastal estuaries, mountain ponds, reservoirs and other places. They like to go out day and night, but they are most frequent in the early morning and late afternoon. Although he is large, he is very agile and is not only good at swimming in the water, but also climbing rocks, walls and trees, and is an all-round wizard. They feed on fish, frogs, shrimps, rats, and other reptiles, but also go to trees to hunt birds, insects, and eggs, and occasionally eat dead animals, and often crawl into villages to steal poultry.

The big-bellied pig is not uncommon in the mountains, and Lelang has seen it many times. I heard that in some jungle tribes, this thing is grilled as a first-class dish for entertaining VIPs. But this thing is very fierce.,The surname is aggressive.,When you see a dangerous enemy, you will take the initiative to attack.,If you can't beat the other party, you'll run away.,It's very cunning.。

In the past, there were people in the village who heard the rooster cry at night, got up and took a flashlight to the chicken coop, but found that something came to the face, the person was accidentally scratched on the face, but fortunately the person reacted in time, grabbed his thing, fell to the ground, and then stepped on it hard, at that time he thought it was a mouse or something, and found that it was a pot-bellied pig with a flashlight.

When the pot-bellied pig is in danger, it often uses its powerful tail as a weapon to whip the other party, and sometimes it will bite the other party like crazy. When it encounters an enemy, it will immediately climb to the tree, grab the tree with its claws, and make a noise to intimidate the other party; While puffing out his neck to make his body thicker, he also made a "hissing" sound and spit out his long tongue to intimidate the other party; Sometimes, they will squirt out the food they have swallowed for a short time to lure the other party, and they will take the opportunity to escape.

But more often than not, pot-bellied pigs are wrestling with each other. It is usually done by throwing the body backwards, facing the enemy, taking the opportunity to jump in the air and attack with sharp teeth and claws. Sometimes, when he can't hold on to the enemy, he will take the opportunity to sneak close to the other party, lift his body, and unexpectedly throw out the long and powerful tail, which whips the opponent like a steel whip, causing the other party to flee in panic and embarrassment, and even die under the tail of the pot-bellied pig. If the opponent is too strong, it will climb into the water to dodge, and the pot-bellied pig can stay on the surface of the water for a long time.

Le Lang looked at the oncoming big-bellied pig, this guy didn't seem to be afraid of him, Shi Shiran walked to a pineapple that was already yellow, opened his sharp teeth and "rustled" a few bites, the skin of the pineapple was suddenly bitten off by it, and then he buried his head in eating the pineapple meat inside. Le Lang was motionless over there, and Rao looked at this bold guy with amusement. After this guy finished eating, he burped, pulled into the ground, buried it with his paws by the way, and then walked away.

Le Lang waited for it to go far before he walked over, the pineapple was still standing upright, he looked down, good guy, the food was quite clean, and the pineapple was only a layer of skin. Looking at it again, the same is true of a few yellow pineapples in the distance, the flesh inside has been eaten, and only a layer of shell remains.
