The arrival of Wang Mei's family made Li Yang's family even more lively.

After lunch, the uncle and the old man Zhang Minong sat on the dam and played Go.

Li Yang was a little strange, because he had never seen his uncle play Go before, and he didn't expect to have this skill.

Li Yang looked at it for a while, it was really a bit brain-burning, and he simply did his own thing.

Wang Ziqi had a little friend, and he took Fei Fei and Qiuqiu and started to pick mushrooms in the mountains.

It had just rained two days ago, and some mushrooms should have grown in the mountains.

In April, all kinds of wild game in the mountains have begun to appear quietly, which is a season to harvest the gifts of the mountains.

A man carried a small basket, a decent one, with a hat, and beware of being hit on the head by something that fell.

Hearing that the two little guys were going into the mountains to pick mushrooms, Yang Jin and Ma Xiaoyu suddenly became interested, and they also wanted to follow in, looking at them in a beautiful name.

Wang Mei has been living in the city, and she is naturally interested in these things, so it was originally a child's idea, but in the end it evolved into a cousin, Yang Jin, Ma Xiaoyu, Wang Mei, plus two little guys and Fat and Qiuqiu, a large group of people and two dogs went to the mountain.

As for Dabao and Xiaobao, they have always been loyal fans of Li Yang.

Because none of these people had ever entered the mountain, Li Yang was worried that they were not familiar with the road, so he called Liu Song and asked him to take these people into the mountain.

Liu Song grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and he is still familiar with the situation inside, as long as he doesn't go too deep.

Li Yang was fine, he moved a few large vat out by himself and prepared to make wine.

The first step is, of course, to prepare the materials, some of these tanks were left by his grandfather's family before, and some of them were bought by Li Yang.

All of them were the kind of open jars that could hold more than a hundred catties of wine, and Li Yang began to clean them.

Rice, Li Yang has already prepared, bought more than 200 catties of rice, the rice that makes wine, must have a certain glutinousness, plus some glutinous rice, brewing a 200 catties of more than ten degrees of sweetness wine is almost enough.

After the two large vats were cleaned, Li Yang cleaned the peach blossoms he collected.

Because it was the first day, there were not many peach blossoms, and when the villagers sent more, Li Yang brewed some more.

The apricot blossoms will arrive in two days, and Li Yang will brew the peach blossom wine first.

The mother steamed the rice, and then Li Yang poured out the steamed rice and cooled it.

Wait until the temperature is about 40 degrees, Li Yang begins to knead the peach blossoms evenly in it, then put the finished rice into the vat, then add sweet wine koji, and knead it repeatedly, and after kneading evenly, he digs out a hole in the middle, which is used to store wine.

After making it, Li Yang sealed the vat with plastic wrap, and finally put a quilt and some clothes on it, mainly for heat preservation.

After everything was done, Li Yangcai and his mother moved the vat to a place where the sun was shining to ensure the temperature required for fermentation.

During the whole process, although Li Yang sweated a lot, he was not tired.

Mr. Zhang Minong is not young, and he is also sick, so he sees many things lightly, but the whole person looks more relaxed.

One afternoon, Li Yang heard the laughter of the two old men.

It wasn't until the sun went down that the mushroom picking team returned.

Everyone looked so tired that they couldn't do it, and Yang Jin and Ma Xiaoyu sat directly on the chair as soon as they came back, so tired that they didn't want to move.

"Dad, look at the mushrooms we picked", Wang Ziqi put the basket in front of Li Yang as if offering treasure.

Li Yang took a look, there were two or three catties, at this time, the mushrooms in the mountain had just begun to grow, and it was already very good to have these receipts.

Li Yang didn't understand this, so he could only let his uncle distinguish it.

There are many types of mushrooms, and there are many poisonous ones, and if you can't tell the difference, it's easy to think that the poisonous ones are not poisonous.

In the past, I heard countless examples of myself going up the mountain to pick mushrooms and eat them in the hospital, so I had to be extra careful about the selection of mushrooms.

The uncle is experienced and knows at a glance which ones are poisonous and which ones are not.

"Ah, this can't be eaten", Ma Xiaoyu held a big mushroom, the size of a child's fist, round one.

Li Yang took a look, there are still a lot of mushrooms in such a basket, it would be a pity if they couldn't eat them.

"Pleurotus glais mushrooms can only be eaten small, and the big ones are already dark and poisonous inside," explains the uncle.

Li Yang picked it up and broke it open, and sure enough, the meat inside was already black, and at first glance, it was the kind where all the flesh was gone.

"You can pick more of them in the future, and he can neutralize the toxicity of most of the mushrooms," said the uncle, holding a mushroom.

Everyone looked at it, it was like a small umbrella, with a hint of red, and the uncle said that this local saying is called a burning stick, which can neutralize the toxicity, so if you don't know what is poisonous, you can pick more of this mushroom.

In the last half basket of mushrooms, only half a catty can still be eaten, which makes Yang Jin and them call it a pity.

"Since April, there are more things in the mountains, if it's okay, you can go into the mountains to dig some wild yams, pick some wood pulp, and there are a lot of wild notoginseng, you can pick some and come back to stew soup," the uncle said with a smile.

"It's still good in the mountains, the environment is good, the air is good, the food is wild, natural, people are old, they should enjoy their old age in such a place", Mr. Zhang looked complacent, took out his small teapot, made some honeysuckle, and drank beautifully.

Dinner was prepared by three or four people.

Seeing that the original kitchen seemed a little crowded, Li Yang wondered if he had rebuilt the kitchen.

This kitchen is already a bit small, and it is relatively reluctant for two people to be in it, but now that there are more people in the house, two people have to be busy for dinner.

Not counting the two little guys, there are eight people in Li Yang's family, plus Wang Mei and Old Man Zhang, that is ten people, although Liu Jiahui and the second uncle will occasionally go back to eat, but most of the time they eat at Li Yang's house.

With so many people eating, it is indeed not worse than one or two people.

At dinner in the evening, everyone tasted the mushrooms they had worked so hard to pick and thought they were very delicious.

Even the two little ones rushed to eat, and each of them solved a big bowl of rice.

"There are a lot of people here, and the meals are all rushed to eat, if Xiao Xin can eat at home like this, I won't worry about it", Wang Mei watched her son eat alone, her mouth bulging, and she smiled with relief.

"When there are more people, it will be lively, and when there are fewer people, it will not be lively at all," Li Yang said.

The next morning, Li Yang practiced as usual, and then checked on He Shou Wu's condition.

The huge He Shou Wu, in fact, didn't use up one-third of the wine, and after a few days of cultivation, it had shrunk a lot at this time.

Li Yang only feels that he is getting more and more energetic in the past few days, and every day seems to be inexhaustible.

However, if you continue to cultivate like this, you don't know what will happen in the end, but He Shouwu can still cultivate for a few days, Li Yang is thinking about this problem.

Walking out of the wooden house, the two old men had already gotten up, sat on the dam, watched the morning mist rising in the mountains, drank morning tea, and enjoyed the quiet morning of the mountains.
