Chapter 22 Lu Baochang

Li Yu sprinkled space water on the nutrient mounds at the roots of the saplings, the road was far away, the weather was hot, Li Yu was worried that these saplings were wilted, and went to buy a shade cloth to cover it, it was already afternoon when he went back, Li Yu drove slowly, and the family called several times.

Li Yu decided to contract the hillside next to the monkey's house, about twenty or thirty acres, is a piece of red sand, this kind of soil is fertile, no weeds, it is simply a natural plantation, the hillside has just finished planting a season of watermelons, and now it is just planting these fruit tree seedlings.

According to the information provided by Li Gang, there are still a lot of middle-aged laborers in the village, and when they heard that they were paid to plant trees, they readily agreed.

The next day, before dawn, there were people in the yard, Li Yu was busy greeting, and it didn't take long for people to come, a total of about 20 people, because of the rush for time, there was no way to plant trees at noon, so they could only plant on the slope in the morning, and then come back to eat after planting, and the group went straight to the slope,

There is a lot of strength in people, and it will be planted in two or three hours.

It's only June now, and the temperature hasn't come up yet, as long as you put a little effort into it, it's no problem for these saplings to work, not to mention that Li Yu has also watered a lot of space water, and these saplings are still fresh and green.

The saplings in the space are almost all common persimmon trees, grapefruit trees and the like, it seems that they were pitted by the boss, Li Yu simply moved them out and planted them under the hillside, these saplings grew crazy in the space, and the space was already a little crowded.

The land under the hillside is also the monkey's family, when the fields were originally divided, many of these fields were deserted and overgrown, and the hillside with the foot of the mountain was allocated to the monkey's family, according to the monkey, no one wanted to plant it for a hundred yuan a year.

When Li Yu came back, he passed by his own orchard, went in to take a look, and found that the fruit trees inside had changed, especially the green bark pear, which was originally a big fist, but now it is a big bowl, exuding a rich sweetness, attracting a lot of wasps, Li Yu didn't dare to approach, "Catch Ming'er and pick them all", Li Yu gritted his teeth hatefully, and before he ate it, he was bitten by these wasps all holes.

The banana tree is full of bunches of bananas, which are still green, and it is estimated that they will never be used as bananas again after a long time, and the bananas in the space will grow quickly.

Today I have to go to the chef, Li Yu thought of a person - Lu Baochang, this person's surname is Lu, but naturally he is not called the chief of security, and his real name Li Yu does not remember, he only knows that the chief is his nickname, this person is a bachelor, he has a tricky mouth, and now he is a foodie, maybe anyone who can eat will cook, the chief has a good cooking skill, and the village will call him when he buys a banquet, but now that there is a special team for the banquet, the chief is useless as a hero, Li Yu's biggest impression of him is to eat snake meat, All over the mountains to chase snakes.

Lu Baochang lives in the northernmost part of the village, next to the foot of the mountain is the most dilapidated tiled house is his house, Li Yu often came to eat when he was a child, Bao Chang made a new dish will also call him, in the courtyard enclosed by bamboo fences, there is a stone mill, on which a few iron basins are placed, an old man with a smooth big back is eating with a glass of wine.

"Chief Guard, what are you doing again? It smells so good! Li Yu carried a bottle of wine and a cigarette around the fence and walked into the courtyard, the chief was the only old man Li Yu called by his name, and it was said that the chief did not seem to be from the back village.

"Huh! You are? You're a little Yuzi! The chief turned his head and looked Li Yu up and down with squinted eyes.

"That's right! You don't remember me! Thanks to my kindness to see you, this is three years of Wuliangye and a jade stream, specially brought to you to taste. ”

"Don't be poor boy, you haven't been back for several years, how can you be willing to come back this time? How long has it been since you came back? The chief stood up with a smile and took the box in Li Yu's hand, "You kid has a heart!" ”

"Two days after I came back, what kind of meat is this? So fragrant! "An iron basin is full of dry pot pork ribs-like meat pieces, green chopped coriander, celery segments, cucumber strips, golden fried potato pieces and red dried chili peppers, which are full of color and flavor, and there is an iron basin filled with locust-like fried insects, which are oily.

"Muntjac, two catties given to me by the black dog two days ago, it is a coincidence that your kid came, you know the place of the dishes and chopsticks at home, go get it yourself." The muntjac is divided into three kinds of red muntjac, small muntjac and black muntjac, generally said to be red muntjac, the other two are endangered protected animals, red muntjac is the largest one of the muntjac, body length 80~150 cm, the face is long, the body back is brown or dark brown, inhabits dense forests, grasses, mountains and hills, feeds on seeds, young grass, grass, and branches.

"Why don't you say that it's better to come early than to come sooner, and the black dog is still hunting? Isn't there a big guy on the mountain? Last time, Wang Kaimu also told me that they don't dare to close their eyes when they sleep now. Li Yu sandwiched a piece of muntjac meat and put it in his mouth, the muntjac meat has a tenacity, fresh and spicy, and the more you chew, the more flavorful it becomes.

"What are you not hunting for his family's old snacks? He doesn't know how to plow the soil, you're talking about Luosigou, Qingyun Mountain will be fine as long as you don't walk through Biyintan, there are fewer and fewer muntjacs over the years, and people outside have bought them at a high price. The chief took a sip of wine, "These wild things can be tried once in a while to hit one, if it is to eat the mountain upside down, it is not authentic, the original mountain full of muntjac, roe deer, goats - now in front of the mountain except pheasants and grasshoppers, there is nothing, so I have to catch a snake to go to the old mountain." ”

Li Yu was speechless, too lazy to pay attention to him, but the food made by the chief was delicious, listening to his nagging, it was better to eat two more bites of vegetables, and then sandwiched a fried insect and threw it into his mouth, "Is this a grasshopper?" It was fried crispy and crispy, and it was much better than what was sold in the city. ”

"Dirt dog!"

"Dirt dogs?" Li Yu only felt a churning in his stomach, although the earth dog and the earth dog only lacked a child's sound, but it was the difference between heaven and earth, the earth dog is a mole cricket, an underground insect, the back is generally brown, the abdomen is generally gray-yellow, according to the different years of its life, the color changes slightly, the front feet are large, shovel-shaped, suitable for digging soil, there are tail whiskers, living in the soil, day and night, eating crop tender stems.

The chief of the guard calmly took a fried mole cricket and said, "What kind of expression do you have, do you want to drink a sip of wine to press it, this mole cricket was caught by me digging the soil and turning over the field for several days, this is traditional Chinese medicine, do you know the food supplement?" ”

"I don't drink, isn't it a bug, I didn't eat anything when I was a child, and the toads were caught by you to drink, this tastes good, I'll take some back as a snack for a while, by the way, what does this make up?" Li Yu quickly grabbed a few chopsticks and threw them into his mouth.

"I specialize in treating constipation, and I happen to be constipated these days."

The smile on the face of the chief of the security guard made Li Yu want to take off his shoes and give him a board, "Okay, don't stare at me, you kid don't stare at me, eating a little is good for digestion, what is the matter with your kid coming to me today, won't you come to eat it specifically?" ”

"I hired some workers to dig fish ponds, and there is one less master in charge, so I don't think of you." Li Yu looked flattering, this old man likes to be leisurely, now he has five guarantees, and he is not short of money, Li Yu is still a little worried about not moving him.

"I know that you kid is not good, I still have to cook for you at such an old age, you kid will think, but for the sake of this bottle of Wuliangye, I won't care about you, when will you go to work?"

"What do you say? Oh! Don't you have anything to clean up in the afternoon? Li Yu didn't expect the chief to agree so simply, and he couldn't help but suspect that he had heard it wrong.

"What do I have to clean up at home, you go first, I'll come in the afternoon, do you want to eat this meat, you have to eat it and take some back." The chief pointed to the pot of fried mole crickets and smiled.

"No need, you can keep it for yourself!"
