Chapter 131: Spring Outing (2)
"The fish here is not as big as the one we ate during the Chinese New Year." After observing the waterhole for a while, Luoluo came to a conclusion.
"When we catch some of these fish and raise them, we will definitely be able to raise big fish." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
This waterhole is located halfway up the mountain, the temperature here is lower than at the foot of the mountain, and the water here is used for drinking by the residents of the market below, the water is clear, and there is little food for the fish, so it should be the result of a long time to grow so big.
After resting for a while, I drank some of the water I was carrying, filled a few other empty bamboo tubes with water, and continued to walk slowly towards the mountain.
Spring is coming, and although it is not yet the time for the flowers to bloom, the mountain is indeed full of life, and even the air seems to be sweet under the sunlight.
Pinch off the tender thorn vine on the side of the road, peel off the skin, and put it in the mouth, and a sweet taste fills the heart.
"You can't see your home here, but you can see Huaguo Mountain." Standing on the mountainside, Luoluo looked down the mountain and said.
"Later, when we climb to a high place, we can see the house, Luoluo, come on."
"Uncle, where are we going to climb?"
"See that mountain bag, there's a flat land up there, let's just walk there, it's almost there." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"It's not far, just walk up and get there." Luoluo looked at the place Zhao Yuan pointed to, and felt that it was about to arrive.
"Climbing the mountain doesn't look far, but if you really climb it, it's far away." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
Talking and laughing all the way, it took a while to climb for a while before coming to the mountain bag that Zhao Yuan said.
"It's here, it's up to you next, Guo Du." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely give the master a big guy back." Guo Du patted his chest and said.
"Be careful, Shao Meng, you can go with you."
"Yes, sir." After speaking, he put the things he brought on the ground, and followed Guo Du towards the forest.
"Let's pick up some firewood, sir." After a break, Zhao Yuan said.
"I don't know if Uncle Guo can hit them, otherwise we can only eat this rabbit." Luoluo looked at Lin Zi and said.
"There should be no problem, he can catch a rabbit in the field at home, there are so many animals on the old mountain, there should be no problem." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
There are no trees around this mountain bag, and Guo Du and the two of them have to go to the forest above to hunt. There are quite a few shrubs around the mountain, many of which are dry and can be picked up for firewood.
"Uncle, are we going to build a stove?" Luoluo asked.
"Yes, we'll have to build a stove and cook the rabbit first." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.
There are no big trees here in Xiaoshanbao, generally speaking, large animals should not come here, Zhao Yuan took Meng Ying and Luoluo to pick up firewood, and after a while, they picked up a lot of firewood.
"There is a thick layer of dead branches and rotten leaves on this mountain, and it would be nice if I could get it back and use it to raise earthworms."
"Uncle, that's what Earth Dragons eat?"
"yes, maybe there are a lot of earth dragons under these rotten leaves."
"How to dig the stove, Brother Yuan, so much firewood should be enough." Meng Ying patted the ash on her hand and asked.
"Just dig one, but fortunately, Luoluo's little hoe has been brought up." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
Last time I went to Laoshan, I dug a lot of things back, and Luoluo also wanted to dig some useful things on the mountain, so she brought her little hoe up.
The soil of the small mountain bag contains a large amount of weathered stones, and because of this, there are almost no trees growing on the mountain bag, so Zhao Yuan took Luoluo's small hoe and began to dig it.
"Let's go find some stones." Meng Ying looked at the pit that Zhao Yuan had dug and said.
"Don't, we'll go together when we're done." Zhao Yuan said, worried that Meng Ying would be in danger if she acted alone.
Shao Meng and Guo Du walked into the forest and soon found the target, there were many animals in the forest. pheasants, hares, squirrels, hedgehogs...... Seeing Shao Meng and the two of them quickly dodge.
"Why don't you fight?" Shao Meng looked at Guo Du, who was holding a bow and arrow, and asked.
"It's the first time I've come to hunt, why do you have to go back with a big guy, what's the point of these little things?" Guo Du shook his head and said.
"If you want to fight big, you can't run far?" Shao Meng said.
"It's okay, it's still early, let's look for it first, and then we won't find it." Guo Du said confidently.
"I hope so, we can't go far, my lord, they're afraid of danger."
"There should be no problem, there is nothing on the hill, there will be no wild beasts, and didn't the master say that they have not seen large beasts here."
"That can't go far."
"Okay, just take a walk around here."
The two of them walked around in the woods, chatting while looking for the big guy in Guo Du's mouth.
"Senior brother, I found that we came to Danling to be the right one, the old man and lady are very good, they don't have any quarrel with us, and they feel like family when they get along."
"So we have to protect my lord and his family."
"Definitely, let's go, go over there and have a look."
"Okay, take a look over there, if there are no big guys, let's just get some pheasants and hares and go back, don't be too far away from the lord."
…………
Zhao Yuan dug the pit where the pot was placed, and then took Meng Ying and Luoluo to the hillside next to him to find a few stones and move them up, set up the stove for cooking, and put the pot he brought to try: "It's okay, that's it, Xiaoying, spread the mat we brought aside." ”
"Okay, Brother Yuan, have you wanted to come to the field for a long time, it's been a long time since this mat was ready." Meng Ying said with a smile.
"That's right, on this hillside, you can't just sit on the ground." Zhao Yuan nodded and smiled.
"Uncle, let's make a fire first, and use drilling wood to make fire?" Luoluo said.
"We bring flint and steel, so we don't have to drill wood to make fire." Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, drilling wood to make fire hurts too much, after demonstrating to the little girl last time, his hands hurt spicy.
"I don't know what prey Uncle Shao Meng can hit, if only they could hit a wild goat."
"Wait, Luoluo, you'll find out in a moment."
The mat was made of a piece of linen sewn onto brown hair, and Meng Ying spread out the mat rolled up in a ball, and Luoluo lay on it.
"Brother Yuan, what is this rabbit doing?"
"Let's just stew."
Before going up the mountain, Guo Du killed the rabbit and then marinated it with spices. Zhao Yuan put the pot on the stove, cleaned the pot a little with the water in the bamboo tube, and put the rabbit in the pot to stew, as soon as the soup opened, a smell of meat came out.
"Let's go pick some wild vegetables, I just saw a lot of wild vegetables growing." After the rabbit meat was stewed, Zhao Yuan proposed.
"Okay, uncle, are those edible wild vegetables?" Luoluo got up from the mat and asked.
"Just now I saw that there are folded ear roots, wild garlic, and dandelions, let's dig some, in case Shao Meng and they don't hit the prey, we still have wild vegetables to eat." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
It's still a little far from the place where Uncle Zhaojiazhuang opened up the wasteland, and I don't know what happened to the land they planted.
