Chapter 208, Farm Food
A ginseng tree that grows on a rotting wood, and the rhizome in the ground is terrifying, Zhou Jimin can't guess.
However, ginseng that can cause spatial vibrations must be an amazing thing.
Before, Zhou Jimin had not seen ginseng, and he had also seen ginseng for a hundred years.
However, there was no reaction at all.
There is a saying that seven taels are ginseng and eight taels are treasures, and ginseng that is more than 100 years old is a treasure of ginseng.
Then, the ginseng in front of you should be more than 100 years old.
Isn't it a shame to just poach it like this?
It should be transplanted into space, maybe it will be different?
Thinking of this, he directly took a position of about ten meters next to the rotten wood and began to dig a circle around the rotten wood.
Because he was in a hurry, he didn't have so many scruples and directly used the ability of space.
Ginseng prefers to grow in sandy loam soils with loose texture, good aeration, good drainage, and fertile nutrients.
And this rotting wood ginseng is surrounded by sandy soil, which is also covered with several layers of thick rotten leaves.
Therefore, even if he doesn't use the power of space, he won't be very slow to dig.
In less than five minutes, there was a circle ten meters away from the rotten wood.
The circle was a half-meter ditch that had been dug five meters deep.
At a depth of five meters, it began to dig down to the middle in the direction of the sharp corners of the cone.
No matter how old the ginseng is, there is such a large space, you can't touch its roots, right?
Zhou Jimin checked just now, and the length of the roots of thousand-year-old ginseng is about two meters at most.
Therefore, he excavated this method and specified that he did not touch the roots of ginseng.
After another minute, he tried it with the power of space, and finally, with a whoosh, he got the semi-conical cylinder with a radius of ten meters and a depth of eight or nine meters, including the rotten wood, into the space.
The rotten wood was planted directly by Zhou Jimin in the space, and the ginseng forest was originally planted.
Something magical happened after the rotting wood entered the space.
Originally, there was only 1,000 acres of land, but because of this ginseng, the space expanded dramatically, and suddenly increased to more than 13,000 acres of land.
Zhou Jimin was frightened, and all kinds of poultry, tigers, and sea fish in the space were frightened.
When he came back to his senses, he saw that the original seawater pond and the water pond were divided into a dozen smaller ponds, large and small.
There are even a lot of fish, jumping around on the ground, looking like they are dying of lack of water.
Zhou Jimin hurriedly reorganized the two ponds, which are the family's most important food source for river fresh food and seafood.
Especially for seafood, if some species are extinguished, then he has to go to the beach to catch some and come back, which is still quite troublesome.
On the southern island, most of the fish sold in the seafood market is actually dead seafood.
Live seafood is too expensive, and most of it is average.
He wants seafood with tender and delicious meat, not ordinary seafood.
There are dozens of flavors of fish balls that are often eaten at home, all of which are made of original flavor without any added fish.
It is conceivable how many kinds of seafood he has raised in this space.
Hexian is okay to say, after all, it can be replenished at any time.
And the variety of river fresh food is far less abundant than seafood, and he has not been to the Yangtze River, the Yellow River or the Pearl River, otherwise he will definitely have to bring some cherished fish back to raise.
In fact, his space, the current ecosystem is quite perfect.
It's just that tigers, wild boars, etc. were strictly domesticated by him, and each had its own territory.
"More than 13,000 acres of land, mom, how old is this rotten wood ginseng? Why are you holding it like that? ”
After Zhou Jimin finished working on the pond, livestock and poultry, he looked at the extra land and fell into shock.
At the same time, I became more curious about the rotten ginseng in the ginseng forest.
It's just that he knows that now is not the time to be curious.
After cleaning up the space a little and making sure there were no accidents, he exited the space.
After returning to reality, seeing the big pit in front of him, he thought about it, or went to the nearby to find a big rock, moved it back with space, and filled the big pit.
By the time it was all done, more than an hour had passed.
So, he hurried to chase the little goldfish.
Fortunately, they didn't go too far, that is, they ran for about ten minutes before catching up.
When he arrived, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Qingxian and several of their children chattered around him and asked, why did he go just now?
"Why didn't you go, don't ask, tell your father, did you dig up any good medicinal materials just now?"
"Yes, Sister Xiulan saw a ..... just now"
The children's attention was quickly diverted, and Zhou Jimin listened with a smile and nodded from time to time.
On this trip to dig medicinal herbs, I didn't encounter anything bad, and it was quite peaceful.
No one was hurt, and no one cried out that they were tired.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the group returned.
Back at Cui Xiulan's house, under the warm hospitality of Cui Xiulan's family, Zhou Jimin and the others were full of food and drink before they were ready to go down the mountain.
The little goldfish and her master Zhang Wantong did not dig up any valuable herbs.
I have found a few ginseng trees, but they are all ginseng that has only grown for about a few years, and they cannot be dug yet.
Lingzhi did pick up four, but that's it.
"Big brother, have you found a treasure? Why do you keep smiling? ”
On the way back, the little goldfish found that her eldest brother was always smiling at the corner of his mouth, and he never stopped.
"That's right, I went out today and picked up a treasure, so I'm going to be happy."
"Daddy, what did you pick up?" Xiao Budian immediately asked curiously, and several other children also looked at it.
Children's curiosity is the heaviest, especially when they hear that there are treasures, they must want to know more.
"I can't tell you yet, I'll talk about it when I get back."
Zhou Jimin said with a smile, what is there to talk about in this halfway?
"Cut, God is chattering, just forget it."
The little goldfish pouted and went first.
used to be young, and when she encountered such an appetizing thing, she would definitely be coquettish.
Now she's ten years old and grown up, so she's not as clingy to her big brother as she used to be.
In fact, in addition to the reason for growing up, there is also the fact that Zhou Qingxian, their niece and nephew, occupied her eldest brother, and she herself was embarrassed to be coquettish in front of her juniors.
However, she didn't want to hear it, Zhou Qingxian and the others really wanted to hear it.
For the children's curiosity, Zhou Jimin is much easier to deal with.
Soon, when the sun was setting, the group also came to the foot of the mountain, but suddenly heard a violent pig cry.
"Dad, I'm so scared."
When Zhou Xiaobai heard this voice, she didn't know why, suddenly her little face turned pale, and she cried and hugged her father.
"Don't be afraid." Zhou Jimin patted her on the back and said:
"That's the cry of a wild boar, don't think about it so much."
Spring is the season of rejuvenation, and it is also the best time for wild boars to come down the mountain in search of food.
After all, after a long winter of waiting, the food in the mountains was also eaten.
At this time, the fields at the foot of the mountain may have been renovated and crops may have been planted.
So the wild boar goes to shave some food, isn't it too much?
And the villagers who have been fighting wits and courage with these wild boars for many years will naturally not let go of such an opportunity.
Therefore, they will dig pits and set traps, or go directly to the trap.
Now Zhou Jimin heard the cry of the wild boar, it must have been caught in the trap, otherwise it would not be so miserable.
"Dad, is it really a wild boar? Shall we go and have a look? ”
As soon as they heard that it was a wild boar, Zhou Qingxian, Zhou Qingyi and Xiao Budian's eyes lit up.
The most positive is Zhou Bingliang, because he has no impression of wild boars.
Last year, the children also saw wild boars and tigers captured by their fathers.
However, they were all sorted wild boar meat and tiger bones, and wild boars were never seen at all.
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
Therefore, they have not really seen these wild animals.
"Do you really want to see it?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Okay, it shouldn't be very far, let's go, let's go and see."
Following the sound, Zhou Jimin and his entourage, under the leadership of Ah Fu, finally came to the foot of the mountain and saw a big fat pig in a bush.
Within a radius of seven or eight meters, they were all spoiled by a large wild boar.
If it weren't for the chains of the trap that were entangled in the roots of the tree, maybe the big boar would have escaped.
Because this big wild boar, at least three or four hundred pounds, like a small tank, when it moves, standing nearby, you can feel the tremor of the ground.
A few years ago, the wild boars near Qinjiazhuang were looted by Zhou Jimin.
Unexpectedly, it has only been a few years, and there are so many wild boars again.
Deep in the mountains and old forests, the recovery ability is really strong.
With such a fat wild boar, it is estimated that it can get two hundred and three catties of meat.
It must have been how much grain and how many years it took for this wild boar to grow so strong.
Ordinary domestic pigs that have not yet been fed are generally fed by pigweed and sweet potato seedlings, and they have to be raised for at least eight or nine months to grow up to about 200 catties.
If you continue to grow meat, it will take at least two or three years.
Wild boars don't eat and sleep and continue to eat when they wake up, they also need to run around the mountains and fields to find food.
Therefore, it takes them longer to grow to a weight of 200 pounds than domestic pigs.
Therefore, this big wild boar weighing three or four hundred pounds has been in the mountains for four or five years.
Originally, it was a tyrant in the mountains, but now because of an animal trap, it is about to become food for humans.
Sensing Zhou Jimin's approach, the big wild boar struggled even more intensely.
"Dad, it's so fierce."
Xiao Budian and the two bowls of porridge both had scared expressions, and Zhou Xiaobai covered his face with his little hands, not daring to look at it.
It's just that, judging from the gap between her slightly loosened fingers, she is still curious about what the wild boar looks like.
"No matter how fierce you are, it's useless, you can only wait for death now."
As soon as Zhou Jimin finished speaking, the big wild boar suddenly broke free of the chain, took the trap, and limped towards the mountains.
"Ah, Daddy, it ran away." Zhou Qingxian and the others suddenly shouted in surprise.
Zhang Wantong didn't speak, just watched.
The third and fourth were eager to try, but were stopped by Zhou Jimin.
The latter weighed the all-iron shovel in his hand, which was pointed on one end and a flat shovel the size of a palm on the other.
The main function is that when digging medicine deep in the mountains, you need this tool when you encounter some medicine with particularly deep rhizomes, such as yams.
Because it is completely made of iron, it is very heavy, about 20 catties.
He picked up the tool directly, and then aimed the sharp one at the wild boar, and he threw it out like an iron gun.
Almost instantly, the boar was burped through its head by this tool.
"Dad is amazing."
When the little ones saw this, their eyes widened and they cheered.
But at this time, behind everyone, a few villagers came.
The people who heard the sound of pigs and rushed to hear the news.
"Who? Dare to steal the wild boar hunted in our village? ”
Before the people arrived, the roar was heard from afar.
As soon as Zhou Jimin turned around, he saw Qin Guoliang, Qin Dazhu and a few of them, and he was immediately happy.
Qin Guoliang and the others were also stunned for a moment, and they were immediately overjoyed.
"Ah, it turned out to be Jimin, that's great, I heard Dazhu say in the morning that you entered the mountain, and now it's down the mountain, right? Don't go back until you have dinner at home, and then go back to the city. ”
Knowing that it was Zhou Jimin and his party, Qin Guoliang was enthusiastic.
As for the matter of the big wild boar, he directly forgot about it.
Several other people also looked at Zhou Jimin quite eagerly, very excited.
Since you've met them all, let's go sit down.
In fact, they hadn't been eating for long at Cui Xiulan's house, and they weren't too hungry at this time.
When Qin Dazhu and the others saw the big wild boar that was pierced through the pig's brain with an iron rod, they couldn't help but gasp.
It's horrible!
Taking off the iron rod, Qin Dazhu weighed the weight, and his heart was even more surprised.
Such a heavy iron spear can be thrown so far, and it also penetrates the pig's brain at once, you can imagine how powerful this is.
However, after all, he had gone into the mountains to hunt tigers with Zhou Jimin, and he still knew the latter's ability.
Thinking of the three-hundred-kilogram black tiger before, Qin Dazhu was also relieved.
"Go and call a few people to carry this boar back." Qin Guoliang gave an order to the villagers next to him, and after being heard by Zhou Jimin, who was not far away, he stopped him.
"Lao Qin, let's come with me, I have a lot of strength."
Pulling out the mountain and covering the world, Zhou Jimin thinks that his strength is still very good.
Plus, three or four hundred catties of wild boar, it's not very heavy.
"How can this still make you contribute?"
"Why can't you?"
Zhou Jimin grinned, grabbed the pig's hind hooves with one hand, and dragged it away.
Anyway, the wild boar has thick hair and thick meat, and it won't get in the way if it drags on for a while, and it won't affect the taste or something.
"Dad is amazing."
A few little ones, looking at their father's relaxed appearance, immediately shouted in adoration.
The third and fourth brothers were also shocked, and the two brothers also went to help.
The strength of the two brothers is still quite large, but they have not fully grown up, and their strength is not as good as that of their eldest brother.
Even so, the third child is still relatively relaxed, and he can drag the wild boar away.
And the fourth child is much worse, and he has to gasp for breath after walking a few steps.
The three brothers dragged a section of the road, and soon took the big wild boar to the parking place, and then used the car to take the wild boar back to Qinjiazhuang.
Boil water in a large pot and shave the soup hairs.
At the door of Qin Guoliang's house, it was very lively.
Zhou Qingxian, who came to Qinjiazhuang for the first time, was very curious about many things.
Although there is nothing commendable about Qinjiazhuang, in the past few years, due to Zhou Jimin's suggestion, the entire Qinjiazhuang, as well as several nearby villages, have lived a very good life.
Although it is a big pot of rice, after all, there are reservoir breeding, poultry breeding, hunting, etc., so the entire Qinjiazhuang is basically not short of meat to eat.
Every year, the full amount of agricultural grain is paid with quality and quantity, and it is praised by the superior leaders every year.
Therefore, Qinjiazhuang has changed a lot in recent years.
Zhou Qingxian and the other little guys looked at the onlookers curiously, and then took the initiative to chat with those children of the same age.
After a while, Qin Guoliang and their side had just finished shaving the wild boar, and Zhou Qingxian and their side had already played the game of throwing handkerchiefs.
The sound of giggling and haha came from afar.
It's just that their play didn't last long, and it had to end because it was dark.
"Why don't you keep playing?"
Zhou Jimin didn't help cook, because Qin Guoliang didn't allow them, saying that there was no reason for guests to cook?
They are grateful for everything Zhou Jimin has done, it is rare that he brought his children and younger brothers and sisters over today, and he also hunted a big wild boar, so Qin Guoliang and they will make such a big fanfare.
Zhou Jimin, who had nothing to do, saw the children coming back, squatting not far from his feet, looking listless, and asked funny.
"It's dark, everyone can't see clearly, how can you play?"
"Who says you can't play games when it's dark? Wait, I'll figure it out for you. ”
In the expectant eyes of the children, Zhou Jimin lit a few fires here in the big flat at the door.
A raging fire lit up the neighborhood.
And so, the kids came back again.
Looking at the children's laughter, Zhou Jimin grinned happily.
It didn't take long for the pig-killing dish to be ready, and dinner officially began.
Zhou Jimin, who was worried that the children would not be used to eating farmhouse meals, also prepared snacks.
Unexpectedly, they didn't react this time.
Just like they ate at Cui Xiulan's house in the afternoon, they all ate with relish.
Is it because you're hungry that you're not picky eaters?
Zhou Jimin didn't think too much, since they can get used to eating, it doesn't matter.
After having dinner in Qinjiazhuang, they politely declined Qin Guoliang's invitation to keep them for one night, and Zhou Jimin and the others drove home.
When I got home, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
It's a little late, but Ding Qiunan hasn't slept yet.
"I thought you weren't coming back, why is it so late today?"
As soon as they arrived home, Ding Qiunan, who was wearing pajamas, came out to greet them.
Zhou Jimin smiled and nodded to his mother-in-law to say hello, and responded, "When I came back, I met a big wild boar caught in the trap of a beast, and I happened to meet Lao Qin and them, so I had a meal in Qinjiazhuang, and it was so late." ”
"Well, the kids are asleep?"
