Chapter 439: Flowers and the Full Moon Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival 1
The front of the pond is now completely chaotic, the screams of the animals, the ghost barks of Lao Cao and Huzi, and the barking of the dogs of the Huahua family are intertwined, and the chaos is not in shape.
It is said that after Wang Yunhai released the two shots, he loudly commanded Zhou Dingbang's brothers and Lao Cao Huzi to collect the net, but because these two guys were too excited to let go of a lot of animals, Zhou Yu took the Huahua family and Dahong Erhong to chase around, and the big gun in his hand was even more vigorous. Because the animals were too frightened and ran away, Zhou Yu's big gun was used as a stick most of the time, which was really a big sweep, and his results alone were no worse than two big nets.
After a while of noisy noise in front of the pond, they slowly regained their calm, and Lao Cao and Huzi excitedly took the prey out of the net, and after some tossing, few of these rabbits and pheasants were alive.
Looking at the scene in front of the pond by moonlight, everyone gasped in unison, but the next moment was full of surprise. I thought that this time the harvest would not be small, but I never expected such a big harvest.
A large number of wild beasts fell by the pond, the hare is the most, and some badgers, hedgehogs, etc., these animals can be said to be a scourge in the mountains, they will cause harm to the vegetation and mountain conditions in the mountains, grasping these things can be said to be for the benefit of the mountains, of course, more importantly, can satisfy hunger.
There were more than two dozen pheasants among these beasts, and the most delightful thing was that they found four big yellow sheep and two stupid roe deer, which were the most delicious of the best.
At this time, Wang Yunhai let out a "huh", raised his legs and came to the middle of those animals, and pulled out four big birds from them. Long neck with gray feathers.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Wang Yunhai said to the old lady with regret: "Uncle." This is a wild goose, why did I beat the wild goose? This is an absolute bird! Oh, what a mistake this time. "Huh. You don't have to blame yourself for the sea of clouds, no one can see what is flying in this black light, but the geese can't be resurrected if they die, so let's kill them, just pay more attention in the future. I heard that the taste of this wild goose meat is also a must, since we have no intention of beating it, then we have to taste it tomorrow. ”
Everyone began to pick up the prey they had hunted, until they had finished picking up a dozen rabbits, more than twenty pheasants, seven or eight badgers, four big yellow sheep, two stupid roe deer, and five geese.
As for the hedgehog, these people didn't want it. The meat of this thing is sour, it doesn't taste good at all, and the fur is worthless, so it can be said that this thing can't do anything but burrow and scourge the crops. So he was picked up by Zhou Yu and Lao Cao, put it in a bag, and planned to throw it down the mountain tomorrow.
At this time, although everyone had stopped hunting, the Huahua family and Da Hong Erhong continued to chase and kill the fleeing beasts in the distance, and the sound of dogs barking and the neighing of wild beasts came from time to time.
Wang Yunhai took a look at it, so he asked Zhou Yu to go over and beckon the Ninth Master to open the gate of the fence wall, today's harvest is big enough, there is no need to kill them all.
Looking at the two piles of beasts and birds on the ground, everyone sighed at the shotgun of the old man Wang Yunhai. At least half of the prey here was taken down by the first two shots. This shotgun is in addition to the gun star is amazing. The biggest feature is that the barrel is thick, the ammunition is more, and one gun can shoot out fifty or sixty iron beads, which is really the best god for patrolling the mountains and hunting.
At this time due to the gate being opened. The survivors who were tormented by the Huahua family and the big red Erhong fled as if they were in a mess, and the two big wild boars and the Huahua family ran to Zhou Yu like victorious generals, wagging their tails as if they were asking for merit.
The old lady said excitedly to Zhou Yu at this time: "Two dogs." Now you can turn on the street lights and open our eyes, right? Besides, tomorrow will be August 15, and by the way, let's see if these street lights are good or not. ”
Zhou Yu nodded. Go back to the substation built of big bluestone and turn on the power switch in turn.
I saw that the street lamps that were almost integrated with the top of the mountain shone one one after another, emitting a soft and gentle light. Like a lively and lovely girl, she dances charmingly.
The light under the moonlight is like the soft wattle of an innocent girl, gently caressing the flowers and trees, mountains and rivers in the peaceful night, especially the soft light around the pond sprinkled into the water, the wind blows, the slight ripples, and the golden scales are flashed......
Everyone was stunned by the soft and warm light, and the light emitted by the difficult road lamp was not that dim light. When did you become so beautiful and warm?
"Hey, I'm going to say two dogs, you have to spend a lot of money on this street lamp, right? I've never seen such a beautiful street lamp in the county or town, not to mention the same as a big tree, but this light can make people beautiful to death, or you kid can make it. No, I'm going to have to call Juan'er out and have a look, it's so pretty. Lao Cao praised for the first time.
"Okay, Brother Cao, don't you look at what time it is, my sister-in-law has fallen asleep early, let's wait until tomorrow night to see it." But I didn't expect this street lamp to be so beautiful, it seems that Lao Wu is a real person, and the money is really worth it. ”
Now that the street lights were on, the excitement had not yet passed, so they continued to search for prey around the pond while the light was bright, and a dozen rabbits and pheasants were found scattered after the end.
It was almost over, and there was still a lot to do tomorrow, so everyone went back to their respective rooms and began to sleep.
…………
As the battle rooster roared highly, Phoenix Mountain ushered in the dawn. At this time, as autumn gradually enters, the thin morning mist of summer is gone, and the whole mountain top is clear.
As a red sun gushed out of the sea of clouds in the eastern sky, Phoenix Mountain ended the silence of the night and became vibrant and vibrant.
It's August 15, which is an important festival in China. People got up early in the morning, and the old men were usually going to move their fists and feet, Liu Juaner and her mother-in-law helped Chef Liu Zhang Luo have breakfast, and Zhou Yu and Lao Cao were busy feeding animals and poultry by cutting grass and mixing cakes. Everyone was smiling, not to mention how comfortable they were.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is not just a festival, it is not only the savings of the harvest, but also the beginning of the harvest. said that she was savings, because the summer harvest was not long over. It is said that she is the beginning because the fruitful autumn is coming soon, bringing people the joy of the upcoming harvest in their hearts. Especially for a pure mountain village like Zhoujia Village, which has lived an agricultural life from ancient times to the present, it attaches great importance to this festival that symbolizes the harvest.
After everyone was busy, everyone had breakfast in the restaurant, and then Chef Liu began to assign tasks. Since there are five guarantee households in the village, Zhou Dingguo's brothers and sisters today are mainly condolences and gifts, so they can't help much. As for the gifts, they had already bought two days ago, each family had a bag of rice and a bag of white noodles, and since the village had made money this year, they gave two more barrels of soybean oil and some live fish and pork. As for moon cakes, you don't need to buy them, almost every family in the village makes them themselves. Some neighbors who don't have them at home will also send some over.
Except for Zhou Dingguo's brothers, the old men naturally won't do anything, so all the work falls on Lao Cao and Zhou Yu, catching fish, picking fruits, picking people, and even Zhou Hu has to make a big purchase in the town. After all this, I have to peel and remove the pheasant, hare and a big yellow sheep, and wait for noon to be cooked.
At the strong request of Liu Juan'er's mother and son, Chef Liu asked them to help them cut vegetables and burn the fire, after all, the biogas in the kitchen has not yet come up, and cooking still needs firewood.
Before everyone went out to get busy, Wang Guilan and Wang Zhijiang also came up with a basket on their backs, which contained some materials for making moon cakes and some fruits grown in their own orchards, planning to make moon cakes on the mountain for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Seeing that the people were almost here, Zhou Dingguo's brothers said hello to everyone and went down the mountain to do their own business. The rest of the people rolled up their arms and sleeves to start preparing the noon meal.
Zhou Hu drove to the town to purchase first, and Zhou Yu and Lao Cao had to pout and clean up the game.
To say that pheasants and hares are very easy to get, the plucking of the feathers should be the plucking of the skin, and the rabbit skin is also very easy to pick. But the big yellow sheep brothers had no way at all, the two of them were busy for most of the day to make the yellow sheep bloody skin and did not take it off, Wang Zhijiang, who was chopping firewood on the side at the very end, really couldn't see it, and took the pig-killing knife in Lao Cao's hand and cleaned up the yellow sheep without pulling the upper half. As soon as the brothers saw it, they simply handed over the rest of the work to their uncle and began to be busy with other things.
Today's weather is particularly good, the sky is high and the clouds are light, fresh and cool, and there is already a charm of autumn. Everyone was happily busy in the open space outside the restaurant, and there was a lot of laughter everywhere.
Zhou Yu and Lao Cao went to the orchard to pick two baskets of fruits, and then went to the forest outside the courtyard to pick some ripe green peaches, plus the red marshal apples and big duck pears that Wang Guilan carried over, and the fruits for the moon sacrifice at night were also prepared, and now the moon cakes were missing.
Like many places, during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Qingshan County, every family makes moon cakes and admires chrysanthemums by themselves, and relatives get together to drink and enjoy the moon. Wish each other well and express the mood of happy holidays.
At this time, Wang Guilan and the third aunt were smiling and making moon cakes on the round table under the tree.
The history of making moon cakes in the village is no longer exquisite, anyway, as long as the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law reach the age and pass the door, they will unconsciously learn to make moon cakes.
To make moon cakes, you must first have moon cake molds, and the popular molds in Zhoujia Village include "Chang'e Running to the Moon", "Wu Gang Toasting", "Songhe Extending the Year" and so on. Although they are all handed down by the older generation, they have a beautiful appearance and far-reaching meaning. With the full moon to sign the reunion of people, to the round cake of the trillion people's longevity, with the moon cake to express the feelings of missing hometown, missing relatives, praying for a bumper harvest and hoping for happiness.
