They were busy planting a large cart of bamboo poles for a long time, and then Professor Zhao hurriedly built a large pile of pine wood in the new house to remove moisture.

This pine is a half-sized pine branch that Liu Junhao cut back from the mountain some time ago, this thing contains pine resin, which is particularly good for burning fire after drying, not only does not have much smoke and dust, but also mixed with a fragrance of pine resin, and now it is the most suitable to use it to bake the moisture in the house.

In fact, the tradition of going up the mountain to chop firewood in Liujiagou has almost been lost, and now the crops in the field can't be burned, who will bother to go to the mountain to cut firewood. Even when steaming buns, tree branches are used, but they are only made in the village.

There are so many trees in Liujiagou that there are not a few in anyone's house, and the dead branches on these trees can be used as firewood. Especially for poplars, when the autumn wind blows, the thumb-thick branches can fall thick on the ground. If you pick it up for a day, you can make a small stack, and you will have firewood for steaming buns for half a year.

If it weren't for the purpose of roasting Professor Zhao's house, Liu Junhao would not have gone to the mountains to cut pine branches.

The pine trees had already dried to the sun, and after being led by fire, they soon burned brightly, and the two people who roasted them sweated on their heads.

"It's a pity that such a good charcoal fire is not needed, you wait, I'll go to the ditch and catch a few crucian carp and let's grill and eat," Liu Junhao said and stood up.

He went back to the yard and took off the net pocket, fished back and forth in the ditch, and caught four half-pound crucian carp shells. This thing grows very thick under the nourishment of the spring water, and the spine is thick to the touch, and it is all meat, and it must taste delicious. He fumbled in the kitchen for another bag of spices, pulled out a few blank sheets of paper, and returned to Professor Zhao.

Liu Junhao is naturally familiar with the set of grilled fish, pinching the head of the crucian carp with his hand, breaking the mouth of the fish, pouring the seasoning into the belly of the fish one by one, and not letting go until it is full. Then he sprinkled some spices on the paper and finally wrapped the fish on the paper.

When the crucian carp came out of the water, it was full of mucus, so the white paper was easily pasted on.

"What kind of fame do you kid make, how does this look like a method called flower chicken, is it delicious, and you don't even get the fish scale armor and the things in your stomach?" Professor Zhao couldn't help but ask when he saw him throw the wet paper ball in the fire.

"You'll find out if it's delicious or not," Liu Junhao said, carefully turning the charcoal fire a little bit and turning it around, trying to heat both sides evenly.

There was a burst of "squeak" water vapor in the fire, and the pine wood after autumn contained more pine resin, so the pine fragrance was particularly strong when burning, and soon the fish fragrance in the rosin was also revealed, and the whole house was over.

After a while, Liu Junhao saw that the time was almost up, so he pulled a few paper balls out of the fire. Then he used a thin branch to penetrate through the fish's mouth, handed it to Professor Zhao and said, "You can eat it now, you have to take it while it's hot, and the fishy smell will come out when it's cold." ”

"Is this ripe or not?" Professor Zhao heard the squeaking sound inside, so he looked at the charred paper ball with some confusion.

"Don't worry, I won't let you eat raw fish" Liu Junhao pierced another one with a branch, and then grabbed one side of the paper ball like peeling a banana, reached out and peeled it, and immediately the fish skin stuck to the paper was peeled off. The white and tender fish was exposed, steaming hot.

He took a bite of himself, and the fish-scented rosin entered his mouth together, plus the condiments he sprinkled before, it had a different taste.

Professor Zhao saw that he was eating deliciously, and he couldn't help but follow Liu Junhao's example to peel off the skin of the fish, take a bite carefully, and then be scalded so much that he blew straight in his mouth, and finally swallowed a mouthful of fish, he couldn't help but praise it.

"What are you two eating here," At this time, Teacher Wang's voice came from the door, followed by Zhang Qian, and it seemed that they also came with a smell.

There were exactly two left, one for each person, and four of them sat by the pine fire and ate the grilled fish with a unique flavor.

Liu Junhao's time was just right, and it would not taste good if the water vapor was dried up in a few minutes. Today's fish retains its original flavor to the greatest extent and is extremely tender. Smelling the fragrance, eating is even more fragrant, and eating until the mouth is full of crispy, giving people a wonderful taste that cannot be stopped.

"We've lived together for half a year, I didn't expect you to have this craft, Xiaohao." After Professor Zhao finished eating, he smashed his mouth and smacked his mouth, looking unfinished.

"Hehe, that's it, I also found out that Xiao Hao has a set of cooking, and whoever wants to marry you as a daughter-in-law in the future will be blessed." Teacher Wang also quipped after him.

"Who wants to marry me" mentioned this topic, Liu Junhao looked a little depressed, he was still thinking about what his future daughter-in-law would look like in the morning.

"Why not, what do you think of Xiao Zhang?" Teacher Wang continued to joke that the Xiao Zhang in her mouth was Zhang Qian.

"Aunt Wang, what are you talking nonsense" Before Liu Junhao could speak, Zhang Qian hurriedly stopped her from continuing.

When he heard Mr. Wang's suggestion, Liu Junhao's heart suddenly moved, but the little flower in his heart had not yet opened, so it was extinguished immediately.

After all, the girl is thin-skinned, Zhang Qian's face immediately became hot when she heard this, but she was embarrassed to leave now, so she seemed too weak-hearted, so she lowered her head and stopped talking.

In fact, Mr. Wang is not exactly joking, as the saying goes, it is good to see people's hearts over time, and after living here for more than a month, she also saw that Liu Junhao, a young man, was really good. But the blind date didn't go well, and every time I met it, I was not satisfied.

When people are old, they are very concerned about the affairs of their juniors, and she also has the heart to give Liu Junhao Zhang Luo.

However, the young girl that Mr. Wang knew was not in front of him except Zhang Qian, so he had what he just said. She saw that although Zhang Qian objected in her mouth, there was no unhappy look on her face, so she took it for granted that she just said this for a good face. So Mr. Wang became more confident in matching the two of them, and was ready to find a chance to have a good talk with Zhang Qian in private.

In the afternoon, Liu Junhao and Professor Zhao rested for a while and started working again, preparing to sweep out the pine ash that had already been burned into carbon slag in the house. Who knew that pine wood could burn for a particularly long time, although it took several hours, there were still a lot of scattered charcoal briquettes burning when it was cleaned. Professor Zhao didn't sweep it at all, and directly put the pine branch on the top and continued to burn, anyway, the carbon slag below was also moisture-absorbing.

As the weather gets cooler day by day, most of the people in the village have completely relaxed. When they have nothing to do, they naturally go to have fun, so the men carry shovels to the roadside or on the mountain beams, looking for rat holes to dig.

Now is the perfect time to dig rat holes, and rat barns are full of grain stolen from the fields.

Liu Junhao was not idle, and led Xiaopi to run up the mountain beam. Professor Zhao also carried a shovel to follow, his old man had never dug a rat hole before, and this time he went to join in the fun.

There are two types of rats in the wild, one is the field mouse and the other is the mountain mouse, and you can tell their living range from the name alone.

Don't look at the field rat to live on the edge of the ground, but it is far less intelligent than the mountain mouse, and the food in the rat barn is not as rich as the mountain mouse stored.

It's just that mountain rats are too cunning, and the holes they make are usually very hidden and difficult to find. Moreover, the hole is also more difficult to dig than that of voles, and they often dig and dig instead of touching the roots of large trees and encountering stones, so that people have no way to continue digging, so they have to give up halfway.

Liu Junhao's luck was good, with the help of Xiaopi, he quickly found a mouse hole, and looked at the large pile of half-dried soil particles at the entrance of the hole, and knew that it was a new hole.

Digging a rat hole also requires experience, you can't dig a hole when you see it, you must first look at the smoothness of the hole and the new and old traces, and then determine how much food should be in the rat barn.

Generally speaking, the new hole dug in the autumn will be full of food, and most of the old holes have little food, or have long been abandoned by the rats, and even if you dig such holes, it will be in vain.

He saw that there was no shelter around, so he took off his clothes and dug up bare-chested.

At this time, you don't have to divide the main hole and the side hole to dig the mouse hole, anyway, what you want is not a mouse, as long as you don't dig a fake hole.

Of course, you should be careful when digging down the main hole, and carefully see if there are other side holes in the cave wall, because if you are not careful, the side holes will be covered by the soil, so you dig all the way down the main hole, and in the end the rats are caught, but they do not find the granary, and they can only be regarded as busy, and they have to start all over again.
