Han Xiaoling silently took the volunteer book, looked at the flowing font on it, looked at Wang Mingyuan again, and suddenly laughed: "Send me to the commune, I have to send the volunteer book." ”

Seeing that Han Xiaoling had no objections, Wang Mingyuan nodded, and after a simple scrubbing of his face, he drove Han Xiaoling to Adu Commune in a jeep and sent the volunteer letter to the Mang County Education Bureau.

The next step is to see if you are accepted into that school.

The two bought some celebratory things at the supply and marketing cooperative, thinking that Zhang Shouzhong's child was about to have a full moon and wanted to hold a full moon wine, Wang Mingyuan bought a lot of candy and some miscellaneous things.

As for the food to be prepared, he was going to get a few black lambs from other production teams to get it.

The eight big bowls in the countryside, Zhang Luo, is very troublesome, Wang Mingyuan can't make it himself, counting on other chefs, he is afraid that the taste is not satisfactory, it is better to make it simpler.

Lamb, local chicken, ham, plus the game accumulated in the mountains during this time, as well as some fresh vegetables in the field to make a hot pot, anyway, the ingredients are their own, and it is simple and delicious to get out.

This is a common method used in later generations of rural areas to make full moon wine at home, in this era of lack of meat, just so that the people who come to congratulate have a good and beautiful meal of meat.

Compared to the eight bowls, this is more extravagant.

When the candy was bought and returned, the two returned to Zhangjiaao by car, and when they were close to Chenjiagou, they met Kang Moxiang who was holding a white elephant.

Wang Mingyuan stopped the car, and as soon as his head poked out of the window, the white elephant trotted over, and the flexible elephant trunk kept rubbing against Wang Mingyuan's face.

Wang Mingyuan stretched out his hand and patted the elephant's trunk gently, and then asked Kang Moxiang: "Uncle Kang, where are you leading the white elephant?" ”

Kang Moxiang smiled: "I'm thinking about going back to Shafang, to meet the old guys, I haven't seen them for a while, I miss them." ”

"I'm homesick!" Wang Mingyuan said with a smile: "You don't need to lead the white elephant with you this time." ”

"I'm used to feeding this white elephant, put it in Zhangjiaao, you definitely don't have time to manage it, other people are afraid that they don't dare to touch it easily, and they won't take care of it, I'm afraid that they won't be able to resist, I thought, anyway, I just went back to see, so I led it together, saving everyone trouble." Kang Moxiang smiled: "If I look at it, I will feel more at ease."

Wang Mingyuan thought about it for a while and had no opinion on this statement.

In addition to being close to Wang Mingyuan, this little elephant is also able to be called by Kang Moxiang, who is also an mahout, and if he is approached by ordinary people, he really has to be careful, and it is possible to be accidentally injured.

It is reasonable for Kang Moxiang to want to go back and have a look, after all, covering is the place where he has lived for most of his life.

Doesn't sound like a problem.

"It's so late now, I'm afraid it's not safe on the road, you might as well go again tomorrow morning, it's no problem to go for a few more days."

"It's okay, I'm familiar with this road, and, during this time, the weather is clear, the moon at night is bright, I can see it, there is such a big guy, ordinary people and wild things, I don't dare to approach easily, no problem, at most at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, I will arrive."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, you have to be careful along the way!"

"Howler!"

After Kang Moxiang finished speaking, he took the white elephant and prepared to leave, but with Wang Mingyuan present, the little elephant was still willing to follow him and did not move.

Kang Moxiang's face suddenly became bitter: "Wang boy, Wang Changchang, you hurry up, otherwise I won't be able to summon it." ”

Wang Mingyuan smiled and drove away quickly.

Kang Moxiang, who was dragging the iron ring, finally fixed the white elephant, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"You little guy, I really fed you for nothing, and I led you to eat and drink well every day, and you treated me like this?"

Kang Moxiang shook his head speechlessly: "Until now, you haven't even been allowed to ride, you are good, seeing Wang Xiaozi is like losing your soul, isn't it that he saved your life, he didn't care much about you, as for sticking it in front of people...... Alas, this is probably the most failed of my elephant taming.

"Let's go, I'll lead you around, let's work together, go out and make a lot of money, and make sure you eat and drink well every day."

After Kang Moxiang finished speaking, he continued to lead the baby elephant on the road.

Wang Mingyuan and Han Xiaoling returned to Zhangjiaao, and the two began to cook dinner.

Han Xiaoling, who volunteered, didn't have to spend a lot of time immersed in various exercises every day, and the whole person was much more relaxed, and even when she walked, the braids shook more powerfully.

When the two of them started stir-frying, Kang Langxiang came over.

"I just came back from collecting medicine in the mountains, and I heard that my father has also returned, why don't I see anyone...... Do you know where he went? Kang Langxiang entered the kitchen and asked.

"Uncle Kang led the white elephant back to cover it, saying that he wanted to go back and see, and Ming Yuanhui and I met when we came back from the commune." Han Xiaoling replied casually: "Sister Kang, you just came back from the mountain, you should be hungry for a long time, let's make something delicious tonight, stay and eat together." ”

Kang Langxiang frowned: "You mean that my Abba led the baby elephant with him?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Wang Mingyuan stopped cutting meat and turned his head to look at Kang Langxiang.

This girl, with superb medical skills, is bold and careful, and since she moved into Zhangjiaao, whether it is a person or an animal, the problem can be solved. Now, not only Chen Jiagou, but even several nearby production teams, who have a little headache and brain fever, will come to her from time to time to have a look and get a few pairs of herbs.

Compared with the commune's health center, she is more convenient and faster here, and it only charges a small fee for hard work, which is very real. It has laid a very good mass foundation for Zhangjiaao here.

Of course, this is also what Wang Mingyuan meant.

Anyway, the medicinal materials are all taken from the mountains, and it is not cheap to see a doctor these days, and a large number of people, because they are reluctant to spend money to see a doctor, will drag it out vigorously when they get sick, and eventually cause a big problem.

Wang Mingyuan felt that he could not monopolize Kang Langxiang's medical technology, and should let her better serve the public.

It is precisely because of this that the farm is known by more and more people, and the praise continues.

"Field Chief, how can you let my Abba lead the white elephant with you?" Kang Langxiang was anxious: "You don't know that he is a person who can tam elephants, and he does like elephants very much, but he likes to make himself like a magic stick, cheating and drinking everywhere, and taking the opportunity to make money."

He still has a big problem, that is, he is good at wine, greedy for glasses, but the amount of alcohol is not good, and when he gets drunk, he blushes and has a thick neck, so he has caused a lot of trouble. ”

Wang Mingyuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

If the wine is not good, it is indeed a bit troublesome.

In these years, grain is expensive, and there are very few people who are willing to take it out to make wine.

Except for those families with good backgrounds and some alcoholics, ordinary people, alcohol is not a daily consumer product.

Wang Mingyuan himself is not a person who can drink, but he knows that in order to drink, there have been a lot of troubles, and many people dare to say anything and do anything as soon as they get drunk.

Kang Langxiang, as the daughter of Kang Moxiang, has lived together for so many years, so she naturally knows her father very well.

Since he was so worried now, there must be a reason for her.

Wang Mingyuan looked at the darkening sky, thought about it, and said: "Let's go look for him tomorrow, since he said that he wanted to meet his old friends, then let him go to see him, presumably it is just one night, he won't have any big problems, let's eat first, call Liu Li tomorrow, let's go to cover and take a trip together, just right, I also want to see the tree hole hot spring over there...... I heard that it used to be used exclusively for your Dai family toast? ”

Kang Langxiang nodded: "It is for the exclusive use of toast, and now although the reform and opening up has been carried out, the pool is managed by the clansmen and is not allowed to be used by outsiders." ”

After all, it has only been two years of reform and opening up, and one by one has not opened up to that extent, even in 2023, although the cover is already a little famous, it is still not hot.

"It's okay, just go see and see, hot springs, we also have them on the farm, it's no worse than anywhere."

Wang Mingyuan said, speeding up the action of chopping vegetables in his hand.

When Kang Langxiang heard Wang Mingyuan say this, he was also a little relieved, and helped cook with Han Xiaoling.

They are now very good at using the spices brought by Wang Mingyuan, and the food they make is not bad in taste.

Just when the rice was out of the pot and the two of them added heat to stir-fry, Liu Li led the lone wolf and Jin Wei back.

Taking the lone wolf and the golden wither to the mountains to hunt for food every day is what he must do.

He also carried a string of quails in his hand, more than a dozen, and dozens of quail eggs in the cloth bag he carried.

"Today I stabbed the quail's nest, but I didn't expect that I walked along the ravine on the other side of the scale hook bend, and these little things were frightened and flew around, lone wolf and golden wither, and it didn't take long to get so many." Liu Li said with a smile.

This kind of bird, when alarmed, likes to burrow in the grass or simply hide in the grass, and fly short to the ground for a while, under the sharp teeth of the lone wolf and the sharp claws of the golden wither, there is room for resistance.

However, quail meat is really delicious.

"Since you got it, I'll leave the leg hair matter to you...... Take care of it, let's bake it later. ”

Wang Mingyuan took the opportunity to push the matter to Liu Li.

Liu Li was slightly stunned at first, but when he saw Kang Langxiang present, he immediately became confused.

Seeing that the dishes were already fried, he hurriedly boiled the water to prepare for the meeting.

Now, the relationship between the two of them has been determined, and the two Kang Moxiang have opened up their joints.

I sent Kang Langxiang home to meet his parents, and then asked Abba and Aunt to come over and meet with Kang Mo to discuss.

There were also roasted quails to eat, and several people didn't eat too much, so they kept their stomachs.

Who knows, Zhang Guanghua, a little kid with an unusual sense of smell, actually led a few little children over when Wang Mingyuan prepared a charcoal fire and marinated the quail eggs in a pot, and Liu Li and Kang Langxiang took care of the quail hair.

These days are the most peaceful time for Zhang Guanghua, he has added a sister to the family, and he has helped a lot on the side, especially when Zhang Shouzhong went to the farm, the little guy also sensibly took good care of his own cows, pigs, and chickens, so that his mother was good at raising them, and he also knew how to cook some food, cook some brown sugar eggs mixed with mash and wait, in addition, simply clean the feces and diapers, and do not contain lakes.

At this time, even in the city, there are no diapers, and the solution to these things depends on a piece of cotton cloth, and cleaning every day is a must.

】

If you change to the current person, there must be all kinds of dislikes.

The little guy can do this, but it impresses everyone in Zhangjiaao.

Of course, this product has also benefited from it, perhaps because he has eaten a lot of brown sugar water, when this little kid came over, he had just had a nosebleed, and he got some artemisia by the river to rub his nostrils finely, and by the way, let his little friend get some cold water and pour it in the back of his neck.

This is a common method of soil in rural areas.

Artemisia has the effect of hemostasis and sterilization, and water has the effect of lowering blood pressure. A two-pronged approach to easily stop nosebleeds.

Children in this year are not as pampered as in later generations, such a simple thing as a little nosebleed, even if they are cut by a kitchen knife or cut by a sickle every day, as long as the injury is not serious, they will deal with it casually, but unlike later generations, they can scare themselves so much that they cry wolf and don't know what to do.

As early as when Liu Li returned with a string of quails, he had already seen it, and this was accurate.

In this regard, everyone has long been surprised.

The charcoal-grilled quails sprinkled with salt and pepper were first followed by a few little children, one for each person, and Wang Mingyuan specially gave Zhang Guanghua two, which was regarded as a reward for his good performance during this time.

By the way, when Zhang Guanghua left, he asked him to bring back a bag of brown sugar and dozens of eggs. Wang Mingyuan bought these in the commune, and for this reason, he deliberately spent money to find someone to exchange the ticket to get it.

The whole group ate roasted quails and peeled some braised quail eggs, which was considered to be satisfying.

The next morning, after a simple breakfast, Wang Mingyuan drove Liu Li, Han Xiaoling and Kang Langxiang to Shafang together.

The time of coming to Zhangjiaao continues, and even Haicheng has been shopping around and coming back, but the places around Adu Commune are rarely visited.

"What's so delicious and fun over there?"

On the way, Wang Mingyuan casually asked Kang Langxiang.

Kang Langxiang thought about it, looked confused, and after a while: "Uh...... Probably the more famous one is Gongmi. I don't usually pay much attention to that,"

An older young woman who is obsessed with medicine, this confused reaction made Wang Mingyuan a little speechless.

But I heard Kang Langxiang continue: "In our production team, we are planting every year, but it is a special tribute, most of them are to be sent to the capital, I have only eaten once when I was a doctor since I was a child, it is really delicious, without any side dishes, just eating, I feel very delicious, I can't forget it." ”

Wang Mingyuan nodded, what can make Kang Langxiang eat it once and can't forget it, naturally has its unique charm.

In addition, even in later generations, the sheltered tribute rice is also a geographical indication product, and the price is not low.

Wang Mingyuan has also eaten it, but to be honest, it is indeed sweeter and more delicious than ordinary rice, but it is far less exaggerated than Kang Langxiang said.

He thought about it for a while, in the era of technology and ruthlessness, it is indeed not easy to get some authentic good things, even if it is marked with the word original ecology, it is mostly just a gimmick.

It's been a different year, and I might be able to taste the real thing.

However, it seems that this matter is a little difficult, after all, it is a special supply, and the word "exclusive" means that the control is extremely strict, and ordinary people probably only have a part of management, and they do not enjoy their lives.

I don't know if I can get some.

It's just a matter of luck.

It takes more than two hours to walk the mountain road to reach Zhangjiaao, and I drove the car, but I also walked around the mountain for more than an hour before I arrived at Shafang.

The four of them got out of the car, led by Kang Langxiang, and went directly to her original home.

The bamboo building is quietly hidden in the phoenix tail bamboo forest, and in the small courtyard surrounded by a fence, there is a group of chickens who are shaving food.

After Kang Langxiang's family moved to Zhangjiaao, it was taken over by her uncle, and although people did not live in directly, it was made into a place to raise local chickens.

Looking at this small courtyard, which is no worse than Zhangjiaao, although Kang Langxiang doesn't mind this, Wang Mingyuan still feels that he has neglected Kang Langxiang.

People have moved from this place all the way to Zhangjiaao without hesitation, which can be regarded as a strong support for themselves.

All he could do was make their lives as good as he could.

When he arrived at the ground, Kang Langxiang went directly to another wooden building in the forest, and returned after a short time.

Seeing that Kang Langxiang's face was not very good, Wang Mingyuan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"My Abba did come back for one night, but he went out early in the morning, saying that someone had built a house, and asked him to take the white elephant to the town house to exorcise evil spirits!"

Kang Langxiang said with a worried face: "As a result, somehow, the baby elephant was frightened, and instead knocked down the beams and pillars erected by people...... Sure enough, something happened! ”
