"Don't you go during the day?" Manying asked casually while eating, she would only go back in two days after her vacation. Of course, Manying wanted to stay with Li Feng for a while and accompany him more, and I don't know when the next holiday will come. Li Feng took a big bite of rice and nodded.

"Yes, the police are there during the day, they will look around, I won't go. I didn't have anything to do in the evening, talking, talking, but if I didn't find anything tonight, I would have to move back to the bird-watching platform. At night, it was changed to patrol, and it was okay to stay in the mountains for two or three days, and it would hurt the body to stay longer. Li Feng said that it is not unreasonable, not to mention the heavy water vapor in the mountains, this year the weather is very cold, in previous years, the winter was very warm, but today it suddenly cooled, and the yield of vegetables and fruits has decreased a lot. Especially in the open air, there is a lot of frostbite and frostbite throughout the whole area. Li Feng's greenhouse is earned, and the price of vegetables is about 10 percent higher than last year, plus Li Feng's vegetables are famous around Amber Villa. Most of the people around are middle-class, and they all have a little money in their hands, and they dare not say that they have a lot of money, and people with a wealth of three or four million are generally very much. Li Xiaoman has a good relationship with these people, usually send some fresh things to try the taste, Li Feng's space is very messy, all kinds of vegetables, many people have never seen them, let alone them, Li Feng picked it himself for a long time and didn't know what it was.

"Xiaobao, this kid is right, this winter is earlier than usual, the weather is cold, I don't know if it will snow." Grandpa sighed, the old man felt no worse than the young man, especially how many years he had lived in the mountains. The changes in autumn and winter this year have made many people unable to adapt to it, and the outpatient clinic in the town is overcrowded. Li Feng's family is good, no one is sick, thanks to Li Feng's daily spring water supply, all of them are strong and strong.

There are many old people and children in the village who have caught a cold several times, and the fire barrel is burned early, and the bamboo charcoal of the second master's family has been sold for people in the past few days. The second master also said the day before yesterday that he would open a kiln to burn charcoal in a few days, but the weather was too weird today. Maybe it might really snow, Li Feng thought about it and used a steel frame in his greenhouse. Cement pillars, as well as countless large and small bamboos. As long as the snowflakes fall overnight are not more than a foot thick, it is not a big problem. It will be good to clean it up the next day, and the wild boar house will not have an accident if it does not rain big hail with bluestone cement and gray tiles.

After thinking about it, only the pheasant coop is more dangerous. Thinking about it like this, Li Feng planned to fix the chicken coop so that it wouldn't really snow. The chicken coop is overwhelmed, but it is troublesome, the problem is big, the pheasants themselves are raised, and now they have one or two catties to eat, and one is bought for forty or fifty yuan.

"No, it's getting colder and colder these two days. Maybe the river will freeze this year. His father, the river hasn't frozen for seven or eight years. Zhang Lan said to her husband Li Shan while picking up vegetables for her parents.

"Well, the river has never frozen since Xiaobao went to college, for more than ten years." Li Shan nodded, not to eat some cured vegetables. Golden-colored cured vegetables have always been a must-have for breakfast, as well as pickled cucumbers, which taste the best. The top is good. The five or six old people left behind by Xianyun Xiaozhu usually like to eat such a bite. The Spring Festival is approaching, and many old people are taken back by their sons, saying that they will come back at the beginning of spring. Most of the elderly in the nursing home have gone home, only a few are far away, and the children at home are busy and do not go home on Chinese New Year's Eve. Several old people got together and planned to come over at Li Kouzi's side, and the teahouse said that it was closed in the new year, but several old people would provide meals on time. The old man's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was booked early, and when the time came, he could go to the village to play dominoes, mahjong, etc., and dragon lanterns to see, and several old people had a full schedule.

"Yes. This year, the weather is going to freeze, and maybe it will snow. I've lived in my seventies and haven't seen snow a few times. Grandma sighed, Li Feng really hadn't seen a snowflake once before he went to school in the provincial capital, let alone him, his parents had only seen it a few times when he was a child in his fifties. I haven't seen any more snowflakes since then.

…,

"Today's weather may be as heavy as 50 years ago, when there were many wild things in the mountains, Xiaolan, you don't know how many pheasants, hares, bamboo pheasants, turtledoves, sparrows, wild ducks, geese, everything, roe deer, sika deer, starved to death and froze to death, a whole ox cart, marinated meat and marinated three water tanks. I ate it that year, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and I was still eating it the next year, and I was really happy at that time, and I ate meat every day. Grandpa said that the scene was full of smiles on his face, at that time there was not enough food to eat, most of the time was hungry, such meat, think about who is unhappy. Hidden in the mountains, hidden and tucked and eaten slowly, others can't find out.

Lin Ying originally listened to Li Feng's family and didn't interject, but when she heard that it might snow this year, Lin Ying couldn't sit still, if it snowed heavily and the water froze, what should I do with those water birds, can't I be hungry. Lin Ying panicked, a little incredulous and asked.

"Grandpa Zhang, are you telling the truth? Snow is likely this year. Lin Ying thought that if it snowed, she should prepare early, at least prepare some feed, otherwise the snow would cover the mountains and the water would freeze, and so many protected birds would be hungry without human hands. Grandpa Li Feng nodded, he has looked at this matter these days, and there is a fifty percent possibility. "It's very likely, at least 50%, there has been no rain since the beginning of winter this year, but it has come down for a while in autumn, which is not normal. It usually rains at least four or five times a year. ”

"That's right, grandpa didn't say that he didn't find out, I haven't had a heavy rain for so long, it seems that I'm ready, Dad, the chicken coop needs to be repaired, I'm afraid that the snow won't hit it." Li Shan nodded, his son said yes, the simple construction of the chicken coop, if the snow is really like fifty years, not to mention the chicken coop, I can hear that many people's houses collapsed that year. At that time, although the house was made of bluestone, there was no cement and it was mixed with mud. Now there should be no problem with the house, but I still talk to the boss, check and check, don't have any problems, even if the person is fine, the cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks and geese have a lot of losses.

Lin Ying's face changed slightly, and she made up her mind to report it herself, this matter is not small, if there is a large-scale death of protected birds in the reserve, her work achievements in the past half a year will be gone, maybe there are people who use this matter to make their elders ugly.

After eating breakfast, Lin Ying found Li Feng. "Li Feng, I have something to discuss with you." "What's the matter, I see that you are full of anxiety, what's wrong, are you planning to find a puddle, let's go again when the sun comes out, there will be fog in the mountains."

"It's not this, I'm looking for your help, you see that you have so much corn at home, why don't you sell me 10,000 catties." Li Feng was a little puzzled, how did this girl buy so much corn for what? Unless these old corns are used as flour, they are also coarse grains, and it's okay to eat them at ordinary times, but no one can stand it if they eat more.

"I'm not afraid of snow, so I'm going to prepare first, so I don't get too late." Lin Ying didn't have anything to do, but Li Feng thought about it. "Okay, I'll keep it for you, it's not far from the reservoir, even if it snows, I can transport it to you in an ox cart, don't worry." Lin Ying thought that it might not snow much, and she hadn't seen heavy snow in her hometown, no, she hadn't seen snow yet, maybe it wouldn't snow.

"Thank you." Li Feng smiled and walked into the room, the two little foxes held the milk bottle with their pure and watery eyes and drank the milk, and then saw Li Feng crying happily and spit out the pacifier in his mouth. "Dad, the fox and the raccoon are so good." The baby looked up and smiled sweetly, the little dimples and the little tiger teeth were cute and chubby, the little face was pink and red, and the little nose was very cute, especially today, wearing fluffy clothes and hats. Li Feng pinched the little girl's nose, teased the baby with an old high mouth and a wrinkled little nose and made a little grimace at Li Feng.

…,

"Baby, bell, don't feed it, the belly of the fox and the raccoon are turned white, why don't you take a look." Li Feng touched the two small furry things, and touched the belly that was hard and bulging. The two children only care about feeding, and the two little fools only know how to eat, but they don't know how to be full.

"Ah, the baby didn't see it." The little face was flushed, and the baby saw his father looking at himself and laughing at himself, twisting his little body unobtrusively, holding Li Feng's hand and coquettish for a while. "Okay, good, dad doesn't laugh, the baby is the most well-behaved. Let's go, let's get out. The old lady and grandma want to make oil, but it is fragrant. ”

The people in the mountains began to work in the wax moon, drying bacon, salted fish, chickens, ducks and geese, mushrooms, and fungus in the morning. If you have money, you don't buy wax moon goods, everyone is ready early, otherwise you will buy pork, beef, donkey meat, and dog meat in the wax moon, and the price will be high. Chickens, ducks and geese raise their own to be killed, just waiting to enter the young age to start killing pigs, starting fish ponds, and making pastries. Of course, the oil goods in the month of Layue started early, and the oil goods had to be blown until the fifteenth day of the first month.

There is a custom in Lijiagang that before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there are no knives or scissors, and there are sharp openings. The old custom, therefore, the year before the preparation of more than half a month of food, these began to prepare early, today I plan to fry the dough, one by one with sesame, walnut, pine nuts, hawthorn powder dough fermented well. Li Feng's family doesn't have many fried points, only using about 20 catties of flour. A big wooden basin, the dough is slippery and big, such a basin has to be fried for a day and a night, Li Feng heard that in the past, someone fried the dough for seven days and seven nights and fried 200 catties of flour. There was no one in Li Feng's house, and there was not much preparation, and it took about a month and a half to fry the oil.

Manying and Li Xiaoman were stunned when they heard that the oil was going to be fried for half a month, and Lin Ying and Liu Lan couldn't believe it. It's impossible, Li Feng said with a smile, some people can fry oil goods for a whole month. A yard full of oil is a real feature. Women and children are busy with oil goods, men start to pack up at this time of year, some people make lanterns, some people sit on bamboo fire dragons, and there is another arson ceremony for the New Year, and everyone thinks that their homes will be prosperous in the coming year. Many people have more than ten meters of fire dragons, all of which are pasted with bamboo strips and red paper, which is lifelike. Li Feng has added a lot of people to his family this year, and he plans to be the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, burning immortals, roasting Buddhas, and frying the king of Yama, so that he can pray for blessings in the coming year.
