Chapter 130: Spring Outing (1)
Although the ice hidden in the cave melted a lot, it did not affect the mood of Zhao Yuan's family, and after installing the stone tablet, Meng Ying also bowed with a serious expression, and then checked it on the mountain.
"It's not bad, these pear saplings planted are basically alive." Maybe it rained when the pear trees were planted, and the pear saplings on the mountain were similar to those on the ground, and the survival rate was very high.
"Our mountain is too small, I really want to go to the old mountain to see it." Standing on Huaguo Mountain, Meng Ying looked at Lao Shan and said.
"It just so happens that I'm idle now, and tomorrow we'll go on a spring outing in the mountains." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"Shall I go too, uncle?" Luoluo asked happily.
"Of course, we'll all go."
When they got home, Meng Ying began to prepare dinner, and Zhao Yang and the others came home when the store closed.
It wasn't until it got dark that Zhao Yang, Zhao Qing, Zhao Qiuren, Zhao Qiuyun, and Zhao Qiuhua closed their stalls and came to Zhao Yuan's house.
"Atom, are you waiting for us?" Walking into the hall, Zhao Yang and the others saw two cold dishes on the table, and it was obvious that Zhao Yuan's family was waiting for them without eating.
"Brother Yang, sister-in-law Yang...... Dinner has just been made, you just arrived, Xiaoying, let's get ready for dinner. Zhao Yuan said with a smile, the hot dishes are all hot in the pot, and when Zhao Yang and the others come back, they will start eating.
Chatting while eating, after dinner, Zhao Yuan told Zhao Yang and others some small business skills, and after washing, arranged for them to rest in the guest room.
Early the next morning, Zhao Yuan's family was busy.
"Brother Yuan, do you want to bring this, and that ......" Meng Ying happily packed up the things that might be used to go to the old mountain.
"Xiaoying, you don't need to bring so many things, let's bring the bow and arrows, and bring some seasonings, bamboo tubes, and flints." Looking at Meng Ying's posture of wanting to move, Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"Uncle, can I wear this beautiful dress?" Luoluo also came to join in the fun.
"Luoluo, we are going to the mountain, you can't walk well in a skirt, so when you can't climb the mountain, Uncle will carry you up." Zhao Yuan said to the little girl.
"Oh, then I'll go and change."
After some tossing, I finally walked out of the bedroom.
Zhao Yang and the others had to go to the store early in the morning, and they were in the snack business, so they didn't stay at Zhao Yuan's house to eat, and when Zhao Yuan's family got up, they had already gone to the store.
"Sir, look what this is." After washing, when Zhao Yuan went to the yard, Guo Du walked in with a rabbit.
"Hey, did you really catch it?" Yesterday, Guo Du came back and began to use bamboo to make clips, but I didn't expect it to be really fruitful.
"Luck, I can only say that the alertness of your rabbits here is too low, sir." Guo Du said with a smile, he just installed more than two dozen clips along the place where the rabbit's footprints were in the ground.
"It's a pity that the rabbit's leg was clipped, otherwise you can raise Luoluo, so you can wash it up, bring it after breakfast, and let's go to the old mountain to play." After Zhao Yuan finished smiling, he began his daily routine exercise, during this time, under the guidance of Shao Meng and Guo Du, he obviously felt the progress of his boxing skills, and his body was a lot stronger.
After breakfast and feeding the chickens and donkeys, Zhao Yuan's family, Shao Meng, and Guo Du walked towards the old mountain.
"Uncle Guo, do you really know how to use bows and arrows?" Luoluo looked at Guo Du, who was holding a bow and arrow, and asked excitedly.
"Of course, miss, I have a bow and arrow at home, and I used to play with it a lot at that time, and it is heavier than this bow and arrow." Guo Du said with a smile.
"I hope Guo Du can catch game, otherwise a few of us can only eat this rabbit." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
The bow and arrow in Zhao Yuan's house was borrowed by Zhaojiazhuang from the old hunter Wang Lao Bo in the neighboring village, and the last time the people in Zhaojiazhuang came back from the old mountain, they have been placed in Zhao Yuan's house, and it just so happens that Guo Du will use the bow and arrow again, which will go to the old mountain and really hit the prey.
"It's time for the market, do you want to go to the store to have a look?" Passing by the bazaar, Meng Ying asked.
"Don't delay, let's go directly to Laoshan." Zhao Yuan shook his head and said.
It's still the original mountain road, but now it's not as good as the last time, the weeds and shrubs on the mountain have already opened out, and Zhao Yang asked Guo Du to open the way in front with a stick to scare away the snakes that may exist in the grass and trees.
"This stream is called Dayuan Creek, and the water for drinking in the entire market in Gray Plains Town is led down from this stream." Next to the path, Zhao Yuan introduced.
"Uncle, there are frogs in the water." Luoluo said.
"That's not a frog, that's a field chicken, it's a pity it's not easy to catch, and the field chicken tastes very good." Zhao Yuan looked towards the place pointed by Luoluo, and there was a field chicken swimming in the stone depression of the stream.
"But does this look like a frog?" Luoluo wondered.
"If you look closely, is it different from the frog you see in the field, you see that it has dark markings on the sides of its head and back, and it loves to live in such a stream." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"Really, it's not a frog." Luoluo nodded and said.
The field chicken, also known as the tiger frog, is a national second-class protected animal in later generations, and no one cares about it in this era, if there is a chance, Zhao Yuan really wants to catch two to taste.
"Let's go, let's go to the forest to find a flat place to camp, it's still far away, Luoluo is not tired." Zhao Yuan asked.
"Don't be tired, uncle, let's hurry up, there are flowers there." Luoluo said happily.
"Miss, do you like that flower? I'll pick it for you. Guo Du said happily.
"Okay, Uncle Guo, help me pick two, I want to give them to my aunt."
"Be careful."
"It's all right, sir, what kind of flower is this?"
"That's a wild narcissus, beware of snakes."
"Uncle Guo, pick it, don't have it without flowers."
"Okay."
Walking and stopping all the way, Zhao Yuan popularized the wildflowers and weeds they saw on the road to Luoluo and a few people, and walked for a while before they came to the big waterhole on the mountainside.
"Wow, it's a big fish pond, bigger than all the ones dug at home." Luoluo said with emotion.
"There are a lot of big fish, sir, isn't there a shortage of fish in the fish pond at home, you can come here to catch some and go back to raise." Shao Meng said.
"It seems that there are more people than last time, and it seems that the weather is getting warmer, and the fish are starting to move and feed." Zhao Yuan said.
"Brother Yuan, can you catch the fish in this pool?" Meng Ying also asked.
"There should be no problem, I haven't heard whose fish are here, be careful not to damage the water quality, no one should care." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
During this time, I have been inquiring about where I can get fish fry, and I originally planned to catch fish in this pool, but now that I see so much, it seems that I really can't miss it.
Grass carp, carp, silver carp and loach...... Zhao Yuan distinguishes the types of fish in the pool, yes, the types are quite complete.
