Chapter 13: Today is a Good Day

"Today is a good day, a good day, a good day, what the lyrics are behind, I don't know what the lyrics are." is humming a song, the most important thing is actually burning fish, his mood is really good, Lin Shan's mood has always been very good during this time.

People are in good spirits at happy events, and they have been inherited by the mountain gods, and Lin Shan has enough reasons to feel better; In addition, the watermelon seedlings in the mountain god space have risen very well now, and even those small fish fry and small turtle fry are very willing to grow, Lin Shan's mood is naturally even better.

Lin Shan is also constantly calculating the growth rate of his watermelon, and he is also calculating the maturity period of his watermelon; It's the end of June now, and it's about to enter July, which is the period of double robbery in the countryside. The so-called double robbery is to grab the crops and plant crops, and it is also a common farming period in the south of the Yangtze River.

Rice is generally planted in the south for two seasons, early rice matures in July, and after harvesting, it is necessary to plough the field and transplant seedlings immediately, and be sure to plant late rice seedlings around the beginning of autumn; Because it takes more than 60 days for the rice to mature after planting, it is planted in August and harvested in October. If the season is late, the harvest will be greatly reduced or even eliminated.

Generally speaking, the end time of the double robbery is marked by the beginning of autumn, and the double robbery is actually more than half a month; This is also quite a time to test people, if a person works a day under strong labor intensity, and it is still under the sun of more than 30 degrees, it is really not a simple thing. Although now it is more harvested by harvesters, it is also very tiring to plough the fields and throw seedlings.

In the period of double grabbing, it is also the period when watermelons are selling well; Although there have always been greenhouse watermelons and early watermelons, in the hot summer, the naturally grown watermelons only ripen during this period.

It takes about three months to four months for watermelons in the natural environment to fully ripen, but in the mountain god space, Lin Shan naturally doesn't need to worry about that. Although it was the first time to plant watermelons on a large scale, Lin Shan also found that the growth cycle of watermelons in such a blessed land as the mountain god space had completely accelerated.

The watermelon is germinated from the time it is sown to the first true leaf is revealed, which obviously does not need Lin Shan to worry, because all he bought are watermelon seedlings that have already germinated; In fact, the germination period of watermelon seedlings is also a little exquisite, not completely buried in the ground, there are also skills and techniques in it, but Lin Shan is not so necessary to study.

The current watermelon seedlings bought by Lin Shan are growing very well in the mountain god space, and they should be considered to be the seedling stage of the second cycle of the watermelon ripening cycle; As for the watermelon seedlings planted in the natural environment earlier in Lin Shan, they have reached the extension stage of the third cycle, and the fruiting period of the fourth cycle still needs to wait a little longer.

Lin Shan calculated the time, not surprisingly his watermelon growth cycle is almost half faster, although it is not able to catch up with the watermelon market, but at the end of July and early August, it was also a hot day at that time, and it was also the hot selling period of watermelon, Lin Shan completely believed that his watermelon could be very marketable. And what watermelon quality problems will be greatly reduced because of the lack of growth cycle, Lin Shan does not believe it at all, he only believes that his watermelon will definitely be of better quality!

Lin Shan cooks his own earthen stove and has no gas; Although it may be a little troublesome to stir-fry while cooking on the fire, Lin Shan feels that the rice cooked in the earthen stove is more fragrant, and the rice cooked in the rice cooker and pressure cooker does not have a pot. As for the fact that the pot may be a good thing, Lin Shan didn't have the money to buy more snacks when he was a child, and the pot was his delicacy.

The pot is very crispy after drying, and can be used as both a staple food and a snack; When you are hungry, soak it in boiling water and eat it directly, which is also a good delicacy; And when you eat a snack, it's also very good to chew on such 'gaba, gaba', and if you eat it with some chili sauce in the sky, it's also delicious. If you are extravagant and fried in sesame oil before eating, it is a rare delicacy when Lin Shan was a child, crispy and delicious, definitely much stronger than any potato chips or the like!

Leave some primer in the stove, which is also to simmer it to make the rice more fragrant, which is also in the period of knotting the pot; Lin Shan doesn't have the habit of keeping the kang pot now, now his appetite is very good, he prefers to cook the crispy pot directly with rice soup to make pot porridge, which is more fragrant than any porridge; Nowadays, many people in the village use rice cookers to cook rice, but there are those who occasionally use earthen stoves to cook rice, and even more people are used to skipping meals first and cooking pot porridge first!

"Damn, I almost forgot a big thing!" Lin Shan suddenly heard something, the little guy Xiaobai hadn't been taken care of by himself all morning, and now it is estimated that Xiaobai is also hungry.

"Look at you, how happy your life is now, eat when you wake up, and sleep when you eat!" Lin Shan dodged into the mountain god space, and sure enough, although the little guy hadn't opened his eyes yet, he was constantly crawling with his little paws, and it seemed that the little guy was really hungry.

Watching the little guy lying on the side of the plate licking the milk, Lin Shan's mood was really good; Whether the little guy is a wolf cub or not, seeing that the little guy is in a much better spirit now, and seeing that the little guy can survive now, Lin Shan still has a great sense of accomplishment. Lin Shan believed that the old man at that time must have had such a sense of accomplishment when he looked at him, not only that the old man had no children and no daughters, but the most important thing was to save a weak life.

"Hey, it's a good day, I'm full and I don't sleep!" Seeing that the little guy licked up the milk and didn't go to sleep immediately, Lin Shan also felt a little surprised; The little guy is in good spirits, and even lies on the ground and hums a little after he is full.

"I don't have much to do in the afternoon, so I'll take you out to bask in the sun first." Seeing Xiaobai constantly squirming in his hands, and even licking his hands, Lin Shan smiled; The mountain god space is very good, but Lin Shan thinks that it is better to take the little guy to the real environment first, and Xiaobai will definitely have to adapt to the outside world in the future, although when he was young, he stayed in the mountain god space to grow his body.

Lin Shan's skills are good, he can cook, but it would be an exaggeration to talk about cooking skills and the like; It's all a farmhouse dish, and it's just a guarantee that it tastes good, and it's an exaggeration to say that it's cooking. However, Lin Shan has been doing it himself all these years, in fact, when the old man was still there, Lin Shan had already begun to cook more hands-on.

There are three dishes on the table, but Lin Shan is now a big-bellied man, and Lin Shan, who has a good appetite, eats well and eats a lot now, plus Lin Shan is not like some people in the village who can eat two or three side dishes for a day; When Lin Shan was young, the old man often told Lin Shan to eat more vegetables and eat less, so Lin Shan also developed a habit, basically one bite of food, not a few mouthfuls of food.

Lin Shan was eating, and he was also smiling at Xiaobai, who was lying on the ground at the gate of the mountain temple; The little guy is restless, although he hasn't opened his eyes yet, but Xiaobai is a little naughty, he likes to crawl around, or he is very unfamiliar with this new environment, constantly crawling, his little nose is constantly sniffing, or he is also a little confused; It's only been two days, and it's already changed three locations.

Lin Shan, who had washed the dishes, took a sip of cold boiled water, and his drinking water was basically a spring from the mountain with a bamboo pipe, and the taste was naturally very good; As for what people say is clean or not, Lin Shan can definitely guarantee that in such a mountain forest without any pollution, even the small spring water on the surface of the mountain forest is better than the tap water that has been purified by many channels. And Lin Shan never thought that his body was delicate and expensive, he was not so particular.

Xiaobai is very energetic, although Xiaobai is still very thin and small, but now Xiaobai does not have any threat to his life, so he naturally has to play with Xiaobai; Lin Shan was also sorting out his rabbit set, and promised his second aunt Xu Cuilan, Lin Shan naturally needed to go up the mountain to prepare a rabbit set. Although the flora and fauna in the mountains are recovering well, it is not so simple to trap rabbits; Lin Shan has a lot of experience, but the rabbits are very alert, and the rabbits in the mountains are not a big handful. Fifty or so rabbit sets, if you are lucky, it is enough to have one or two rabbits, which is still based on Lin Shan's familiarity with the mountains, if other people go up the mountain, it may not be able to find a better place to go down.

"Okay, you little guy has been playing for a long time, so it's better to go to the space and enjoy the fun." After climbing to the corner of the wall and sleeping under the eaves of Xiao Bai hugged up and put it back in the space, Lin Shan had to go to the mountain in the afternoon to make a condom, Xiao Bai is still too small now, although the people in the village will definitely not come to their own broken place to do anything crooked, but Xiao Bai is still very weak now, or need to worry about other threats, the mountain god space is undoubtedly a better place for Xiao Bai.

The environment in the mountain god space is naturally better, and Lin Shan is also willing to stay there more, but he still has to live in society; And Xiaobai, the current Xiaobai is still there to enjoy the blessings, and it is better to bring it out when he is older.

Lin Shan, who was carrying a machete, went up the mountain, and went to the rabbit under the sleeve; Let's put a rabbit for the second aunt first, if you are lucky, you can set more mountain goods, and it is also very good for Lin Shan to open the meat by himself.

Rabbits prefer bushes, which are the paths they like to walk; Lin Shan also paid a little attention, if it was too exaggerated to say that lying on the ground and slowly studying the footprints of rabbits, what was needed was an understanding of rabbits and mountains and forests.

The rabbit sleeve was made by Lin Shan himself, that is, a wire loop slightly larger than the rabbit's head was made with thin steel wire, plus a slipknot; In the place where you feel the right way, tie one end of the rabbit sleeve to the side of the peg, and put the wire loop a few centimeters off the ground, a rabbit sleeve is completely completed, and now all you need to do is wait.

Rabbits like to follow the old path, plus rabbits are nocturnal activities; So Lin Shan's task is to put the fifty or so rabbit covers in his hand in the right place, and remember, just wait until tomorrow morning to come and pick up the sets. As for whether you can get a rabbit, one is to see if the place where you can put the trap is correct, and the rest is luck.

"OK, call it a day!" The rabbit sleeves are all good, Lin Shan doesn't think that he will make a mistake in judgment, now he just wants to see if God can help him, now it is up to luck to rely on the heavens!
