Chapter 2: A New Page
When the swallows come, spring - meaning on the branches.
The spring cold melted, and the ice water on the frozen road was melted, Zhou Yi went up the mountain again, passed the cave, arrived at the mountain wooden house, cleaned up, treated himself with a big meal, and started the new year's work.
Spring is the busy time for farming, and even Zhou Yi is rarely idle.
You have to plant vegetables first, so as not to guard hundreds of acres of land, and buy vegetables to eat at other people's houses, that's a big joke!
Secondly, water, water the space spiritual spring on the 100 acres of fields, so that the fish and shrimp stung in the mud are awake, let the dead trees wake up, grow buds, send out new branches, and bloom flowers and bones.
Finally, plant lotus roots, find a paste tidal flat, burn the wild grass, plant lotus roots, and wait to enjoy the summer lotus.
He did not contract the lake and pond, but as long as he planted lotus roots, as long as it was not an economic farm, it didn't matter if he ate it at home.
When everything was done, he went into the mountains and forests to count the cattle and sheep.
Cattle and sheep are all free-range, but because of the space spiritual spring, they grow very large, cattle like baby elephants, sheep like calves, grazing in the mountains and fields every day, attracted by the space spiritual water, Zhou Yi is not afraid of running away.
The mountains in the south are not like those in the north, and even in high places, they are limited in cold; The grass everywhere is withered, and it is all cattle and sheep food, so there is no need to store more forage.
Even on the coldest days, it is a white head on the top of a green tree - the snow covers the green tree, there are a few dead trees, and the green leafy plants are also the best plants for sheep that can climb trees and cows that can shake trees.
As for the place to shelter from the rain and wind, in this valley secluded land called the cave land, there are many karst caves, and I am not afraid of having no place to hide from the rain; Besides, if it weren't for the heavy rain, it wouldn't be a problem for cattle and sheep.
When Zhou Yi came up the mountain again, the whole forest suddenly became lively, and it was no longer quiet.
The fish and shrimp in the water were stimulated by the spiritual spring water, and jumped out of the stone mud one after another, dancing and swimming in the water with joy; The brook crabs, one by one, open their teeth and claws, are full of freshness that cannot be found in ordinary times; The roots of the plant also stretched out, and soon they were full of water, revealing layers of green shoots, bringing the most delicious forage to the cattle and sheep; The cattle and sheep are fighting spirits, trampling and running in the water, and for a while the fish and birds are flying, so lively!
The chickens and ducks came out of the space and went into the water, one by one, they were fat and refreshing, spread their wings, and flew into the sky, like geese!
Although the space is strange, but after all, it is not as empty as the outside world, and there is no such blue sky and clear air.
Zhou Yi counted the number of cattle and sheep.
The head of the oxen became eighteen and three, and the other fifteen were poured with a large amount of liquor by him on the basis of his diet, and while he was asleep, he killed and ate meat, and divided or sold it, and became the annual food in the mouths of the people.
The cow is clever and very spiritual, but after all, it is a breeding livestock, if you don't eat meat, Zhou Yi can't pass his own level - how delicious beef~
can let them enjoy the greatest when they are born; At the time of death, the past without pain and silence is the greatest good.
Zhou Yi comforted himself so much, and did the same.
He was a soft-hearted man, some of whom were kind to women, but who was by no means a good man. I don't know how to cut meat and feed eagles, I only know how to raise cattle and eat meat.
As for the sheep, they are strong and numerous, but after all, in the township area, the sale is limited, and no matter how good the taste is, it can be sold thirty-eight, and two sheep are used for food and gifts, a total of three hundred and sixty-five sheep, and now there are three hundred and twenty-five left.
Of course, this is the reason why Zhou Yi did not take the initiative to sell, but just waited at home, relying on the fermentation of the reputation of cattle and sheep and the spontaneous publicity and sale of foodies.
It is worth mentioning that Li Rui rode through Qingshan Town that day, had a meal at Zhou Yi's place, added WeChat friends with Zhou Yi, and greatly publicized Zhou Yi in his circle of riding friends; With the fermentation of word of mouth, for a time, Zhou Yina mountain realm has become a must-go place for passing riders; Mountain food has also become a must-eat for riders.
Fortunately, the riders in Qingshan Town were limited after all, and they were far from swarming like entering Tibet, which did not bring any trouble to Zhou Yi.
WeChat's attention also let Li Rui know the joy of Zhou Yi's cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle, and tentatively ordered more than a dozen catties of dried beef to Zhou Yi, but he didn't want to, the alpine yellow beef smoked by pine smoke is extremely fragrant, soft and hard, fresh and tough, cut out piece by piece, red and faint like a rose, that taste, for Li Rui, who is nostalgic for the hotel restaurant all the year round, is almost an irresistible temptation!
In the same way, the temptation of deliciousness fermented in a group of eater hosts.
Li Rui, who had eaten a meal, was divided by everyone with the remaining beef, so he immediately made a decision and placed a large order of 200 catties of dried beef in Zhou Yi's hands.
The beef is made into dry beef, which shrinks considerably; It's not that hard to make, but who doesn't have to make so much dried beef out? At the end of the year, if you want to make more systems, it's too late.
Zhou Yi looked at the appearance of the hungry calf he was calling repeatedly, and he was happy because he was appreciated for eating in his hands, and finally showed more than a dozen catties of dried beef and some dried fish and bacon from his fingers and sent them to him, which barely calmed his call.
Li Rui set his sights on the fresh beef and mutton in Zhou Yi's hands, but the TV station became busier and busier the more the New Year passed, and he couldn't find free time, so he could only sigh with joy.
At the beginning of the spring of the year, not only people are "alive", the grass is green, the birds are singing, and the swallows are back.
At this time last year, the house was being built, and although the eaves and swallows in the mountains were seen, it was rare to get close.
At this time this year, Heiyan returned, but set up a nest in Zhou Yi's house.
Perhaps because of the good feng shui in Zhou Yi's house, under the eaves on all sides, there are more than ten prototypes of swallow mud nests; Three of them are on the verandah on the second floor of the Zhou Yi Building.
Zhou Yi watched the swallows busy building houses every day, and for some reason, his heart softened, and he looked forward to the swallows building their nests every day, hoping that they would give birth to swallow eggs and grow chicks.
The black tail feather, like a stroke of thick ink, passes between the green mountains and rivers and the faint clouds, painting a beautiful landscape painting.
I don't know when the sun rises, it grows on the other side of the mountain and the other side of the water, and it shines brightly, evapoling the fog and revealing a clear and bright spring!
