Chapter 109: Nature's Gift

In the afternoon, everyone had nothing to do and went to the mulberry forest to look for mulberry eggs.

Shen Xiangcheng said: "It has been more than a month since the opening of the Agricultural Sightseeing Park, and everyone is busy in their respective positions, and there is no time to enjoy our own achievements. It just so happened that An Lin came over today, we organized a picnic bar, the food was found in the field by ourselves, and the cooking tools were provided by the kitchen, so you could call family and friends, what do you think? ”

"Agreed! I just want to relax, I love the environment! An Lin raised her hands in agreement, she glanced at Shen Xiangcheng gratefully, knowing that her friend had specially arranged this picnic in order to cheer herself up.

Ye Jingming also agreed, and he also figured out that Guò had a picnic and Shen Xiangcheng to enhance their relationship.

Liu Yang, Jiang Wei, and Jiang Hong volunteered, "Let's go to the kitchen to find some guys." ”

Shen Xiangcheng took out a few baskets from the house and handed them to An Lin and Ye Jingming, "Okay, you go in groups of three to prepare the tools first, and I, Minister An Lin and Minister Ye will go to the mulberry forest to get some mulberry eggs first, and we will gather on the grass behind the mulberry forest." ”

There is no special road to the mulberry forest, so you have to take a path through the economic forest behind the courtyard.

Most of the economic forests are green tree species such as osmanthus and nanmu, which were abandoned here when the greening market was sluggish. Now there are chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry in it, and there are a few pigsty and cattle pens in the depths of the woods.

Since Shen Xiangcheng will come here to feed the poultry when he has nothing to do, these little guys are not afraid of people at all, but when they hear people's voices, they all gather around and ask you for food.

An Lin giggled: "These guys are so funny, they are not afraid of people." By the way, how long will it take for these poultry to be fed before they can be marketed? ”

Shen Xiangcheng really didn't think about this problem, the chickens and ducks that are generally fed feed are only three or four months from the time they are put into the chicken and duck seedlings to grow up and go on the market, and the conscientious businessmen will feed some corn or green fodder with it, and the growth cycle will be a little longer.

These poultry, who grew up eating purple rice, spiritual rice bran and drinking spiritual water, have been physically strong and full of meat in just a month.

The bigger ones are five or six pounds, the smaller ones are about four pounds, and the most important thing is that these chickens are free-range and running around. The lean meat rate is higher on the body and the fat is comparatively less.

At the beginning, raising chickens and ducks was purely a whim, and there was no effect at all, and some time ago the hens began to lay eggs. Eggs have become a must-have food for Huigu employees for breakfast every day, and they have never thought of selling chickens and ducks.

Shen Xiangcheng had no choice but to reply: "Keep the eggs, and let them go on the market when the sales are straightened out." ”

Ye Jingming grabbed a hen casually and swallowed his saliva, "I haven't been here for a long time." I didn't expect the chicken to grow so big, let's make a roast chicken to eat in a while! ”

The hen seemed to understand human language and cooed to break free.

Ye Jingming laughed and threw the hen on the ground, and it flapped its wings in fright and hid in the woods.

Passing through the economic forest, the three of them came to the mulberry forest in Liu Fang's mouth, when the soil was contracted, Shen Xiangcheng only knew that this was a woodland, and he had never been to know that there were such mulberry trees here.

At a glance, it is full of purple.

Tempting mulberries like super mini miniature grapes hanging all over the branches. Some of the mulberries were blown to the ground by the wind and broke with a click, and the purple juice splashed on the soil, soaking the soil purple as well.

Mulberries in the south ripen around May, and at the end of May they are no longer visible in the market. It is also strange that this mulberry forest, irrigated by spiritual water, blooms and bears fruit again at the end of October when the weather is getting cooler.

An Lin had been in Jiangcheng for a long time, and she had not seen such a beautiful scenery for a long time, so she happily shouted and picked a bunch of mulberries on the branches, and put the mulberries in her mouth without washing.

With a light bite, the sweet and sour juice fills the entire mouth. The rich fruity flavor is also the taste of nature.

An Lin said happily: "Wow! Orange, this is the best tasting fruit in my life! In April and May, I saw a mulberry seller in Jiangcheng City, and it was only a small bag for 20 yuan. At that time, I was worried about money, although I wanted to eat, I was reluctant to buy it, and today I want to eat enough! ”

An Lin seemed to return to her carefree appearance in college, picked another bunch of mulberries, and ate it in one bite.

An Lin smiled, revealing that she was dyed purple by mulberries.

Seeing An Lin's happy appearance. Shen Xiangcheng was also infected by happiness, she found a bunch of mulberries, gently bit them off, the delicious juice filled her mouth, and the beautiful fruity taste.

Then Shen Xiangcheng used mulberries to dye all her lips and teeth, revealing her purple teeth and smiling at An Lin.

"Hahaha, Xiangcheng, you're like an old woman of seventy or eighty."

The two stupid girls didn't care about Ye Jingming's presence at all, and played tricks on each other regardless of their own image. Silvery laughter echoed through the mulberry grove.

After a while, the two of them were tired from playing, and their bodies were slightly hot, so they stopped.

Ye Jingming looked at Shen Xiangcheng obsessively, the Xiangcheng who was usually in front of him still had such a little girl's side, if you only talked about Shen Xiangcheng's style of doing things, she didn't look like a girl in her twenties at all.

Running, laughing, and happy in the woods is what she really belongs to this age......

Mulberries are eaten less and fall more.

The fallen mulberries become food for chickens, ducks and other poultry, and the juice is a great delicacy for them every day, and the mulberry forest is full of free-range chickens and ducks. Ducks mostly peck and play in the depressions near the canals, while chickens circle around the mulberry trees and peck at the mulberries that fall under the trees, and the beaks of the chickens are all purple.

"No wonder the eggs they lay are purple, it's too luxurious to eat mulberries every day!" An Lin lamented that people are not as good as poultry.

"Let's go, let's pick up some eggs, they should be waiting outside."

Due to the attraction of mulberries, many hens that lay eggs moved their nests to the barren grass of mulberry forests, or to abandoned wooden houses and grass houses.

The three of them searched for the hen's footprints and found several chicken nests, which contained eggs that had just been hot.

"It's really purple!" Shen Xiangcheng picked up a few nests of eggs, and there were three in total.

An Lin also collected four eggs, a total of seven, enough for everyone to eat.

What about Ye Jingming?

He actually grabbed a big fat chicken and tied its feet with the branches of a mulberry tree.

"Uncle, what are you doing here?"

Without the constraints of work, Shen Xiangcheng did not call Ye Jingming Minister Ye anymore.

Ye Jingming rolled up his sleeves and said, "How can you eat some eggs, I'll beat this chicken out in a while, let's eat roast chicken." ”

"Really!"

"Great!" The two girls cheered. (To be continued.) )
