As soon as the tractor stopped on the side of the road in Niuweiling, two big dogs quickly greeted it.

The dog was close to the owner and circled around Gao Mingcheng vigorously.

Gao Mingcheng stroked the two of them and strode towards the house.

It was past ten o'clock in the morning, and the sun was a little hot, but many beauties were still wearing a straw hat and working in the vegetable patch in front of the house.

This is the time when all kinds of vegetables are flourishing, and the vines are growing happily on the cucumber racks, and the green cucumbers are hidden under the broad leaves.

The cowpea stand next to it is also growing very well, and it is already blooming and growing cowpeas, and the long cowpeas are hanging down, like the green silk of the girl in green.

Cowpeas grow a lot and fast, if you plant more, you can't eat it, many times, you have to eat cowpeas, otherwise you will be delayed in the field for two more days, and the cowpeas will get old.

A lot of beauty is taking care of these dishes, and by the way, pulling out the newly grown weeds, but she has a big belly and works slowly.

"Beauty, don't squat and work. The sun is so big, how hot, you hurry back to the house! Gao Mingcheng walked over briskly and said that many beauties would go back to the house to rest.

Many beauties stood up slowly, and said with a smile: "I just came out not long ago, and I plan to pick some vegetables and go back to eat. ”

In the era when there were no herbicides, farmers often had to deal with weeds when farming, and there were poems: wildfires burned inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blew and reborn.

It is enough to prove how tenacious the vitality of weeds is, and if you don't pull weeds for two or three days on a well-cultivated field, you can see weeds emerging from the ground.

Weeds rob crops of fertilizer and water, so they can't be left behind.

"Go and rest, I'll do it." Gao Mingcheng said, picked up the hoe on the side, easily hoeed the weeds, and when the hoe went down, the weeds turned up with roots and soil.

"You pile these grasses together to dry, and after drying, you have to take them to cover watermelons, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and watermelons are not good for a long time, I went to the watermelon field today to see, and a lot of small watermelons have grown." A lot of beauty said.

The watermelons could have been covered with straw to provide shade, but their family planted too few fields, and that little straw was not enough.

"Okay." Gao Mingcheng responded, while working, he told Xiao Yuanyuan about the situation, and finally said that he was going out to run a car.

"Tomei, when I go out this time, I may be delayed on the road for a few days, will you stay in the village, or will you go to the county? I'm not so relieved if you stay in the village. ”

Gao Mingcheng hopes that many beauties will go to the county, if they live in the old village and have neighbors around, then it's okay, but his house is built in Niuweiling, some distance from the old village, and many beauties are now pregnant women, in case there is anything, no one will help if they want to ask for help.

Many beauties also took this into account, so she said: "I'll go back to the county, you can rest assured that you can go out to do errands, I'm fine." Are you planning to go back to the county this afternoon, or tomorrow morning? ”

Gao Mingcheng said: "Tomorrow morning, I'll go into the mountains to shake honey later." Last time, I saw that the honey was already full, and it was time to shake it. ”

"Okay, I'll cook now. In the evening, I will pick some more vegetables and take them to the county tomorrow. "Many beauties have a plan in their hearts, and their eyes sweep over a large vegetable patch.

Now there are a lot of vegetables that can be eaten in the vegetable field, cucumbers, cowpeas, eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, loofahs, bitter gourds, sweet potato leaves and sweet potato stalks, etc., these can be eaten.

In addition, if you look for it on the slope, you can also pick a tender pumpkin to eat. And the winter melon is also thriving, and over time, it can grow into a giant weighing dozens of pounds.

The husband and wife worked together, many beauties went back to the house to cook, while Gao Mingcheng stayed in the vegetable field to work, while hoeing the weeds, he observed the growth of those vegetables to see if there was a shortage of water and fertilizer.

Then I wandered all the way to the watermelon field.

Watermelons can't be cropped continuously, so they have to change a piece of land every year to plant, but fortunately, the watermelons they grow are mainly for their own consumption, so they also plant one acre of land at a time, to be precise, only eight points of land, because there are two points of land used to grow pear melons.

Pear melon is their way of shouting, and there are also shouting melons in other places.

This melon also tastes very good, but you can't eat too much, and if you eat too much, you will have diarrhea, so most people don't plant much, and they often plant it with watermelon.

In the melon field, not only small watermelons but also small pears and melons have grown, and under the wide green leaves, small fruits grow on the vines.

Here, Gao Mingcheng's eyesight was brought into play, he had to follow the vines all the way, and it was best to leave only one or two watermelons on a vine, because if there were too many, the nutrients transported by the vines would not be enough, and the watermelons would not grow big enough and not sweet enough.

As the saying goes, if you are greedy and chew more, you can't chew it, and this kind of melon grows fruit also needs to be thinned in order to keep improving.

After Gao Mingcheng thinned all the watermelons in an acre of land, he went back to the house, and as soon as he entered the kitchen, he first drank a scoop of well water.

In summer, the well water is cold and delicious, and it has a sweet taste.

The raw water in the mountains cannot be drunk indiscriminately, but the countrymen generally drink the well water directly, especially in the summer, the well water that has just been dug out is cool and delicious, who can bear not to drink two sips?

Many beauties are already stir-frying, and Gao Mingcheng went to help light the fire, but many beauties have very good skills in burning fire, and they don't need to add firewood for the time being.

Seeing that the sweet potato leaves in the pot were about to ripen, Gao Mingcheng went to work on something else.

After each shake honey, it is necessary to clean the shaker, drain the water, and cover it with a large plastic cloth to prevent dust from entering.

When you use it again next time, the inside will be clean and dry.

At this moment he took his things out of the corner of the storehouse, put them under the eaves to ventilate, and when he had lunch, he went to the mountains to shake honey.

The lunch meal was quite ordinary, a stir-fried green pepper, a steamed eggplant, and a garlic sweet potato leaf, Gao Mingcheng shook his head when he saw it, this food was too vegetarian.

Just as he was about to say a lot of beauty, a lot of beauty came over with a bowl of steamed eggs.

This egg is steamed on top of rice, and when steamed, it is golden in color and melts in the mouth, making it a dish that the elderly and children love very much.

There is a key skill in steaming eggs, that is, the egg liquid is mixed with warm water, if it is cold water, the steamed eggs are not so tender and refreshing, and there are many honeycombs.

"I ate a lot of greasy dishes yesterday, and I want to eat something light today." Many beauties said first.

The world is big, pregnant women are the largest, Gao Mingcheng naturally shut up silently, and ate in a big gulp, he ate very fast, and it didn't take long for two bowls of rice to be eaten.

As soon as he put the dishes and chopsticks down, Gao Mingcheng said: "I'm going to the mountains to shake honey, you will wash the bottle of honey and filter the water later." ”

"Got it." Many beauties are ready to wash the bottles after washing the dishes and chopsticks and tidying up the kitchen.

I don't know if the plastic bottle I bought is clean or not, so it's best to wash it yourself again, and then turn it upside down on a wooden board to drain the moisture inside.

I don't know if the plastic bottle I bought is clean or not, so it's best to wash it yourself again, and then turn it upside down on a wooden board to drain the moisture inside.

Such a bottle is used to hold honey, and it is safe to eat it.

Gao Mingcheng carried the honey shaker into the mountain, followed by the two dogs who had eaten a vegetarian meal, and followed him step by step.

Villagers raise dogs more casually, and ordinary local dogs eat leftovers from the family, and they can only gnaw some bones during the New Year's holidays.

Gao Mingcheng raises black tigers and elves, although he opens a small stove for them from time to time, but most of the time, he also eats leftovers, especially when Gao Mingcheng is not at home, their food is supplied by Zhang Chengyuan, and the food is even worse.

But they have some skills, and when they are lucky, they can also catch rabbits and voles, which is considered a tooth sacrifice.

All the way into the mountains, soon came to the place where the beehives were placed.

There are six spleens in a beehive, and more than 3,000 bees in a spleen, in addition to the busy honey collection outside, there are a lot of bees in the beehive, if you look carefully, you can also distinguish which are worker bees, which are drones, which are just hatched or unhatched bee eggs.

Because worker bees do not live long, queen bees often lay eggs, and by the size of those eggs and the location of their distribution, you can know in advance what kind of bee species are in these eggs.

If you don't want to keep a new queen bee, then you can artificially make it impossible for the new queen to hatch.

Gao Mingcheng checked the condition of the bee's spleen, and the color of the honey inside was already darker, so it was okay to look at it. Originally, he could have shaken the honey a few days later, but this time he went to Yangcheng, he didn't know how long it would be delayed, so the honey was shaken first to make people feel more at ease.

He used the soft brush he carried with him to brush off the bees that stayed on the bee spleen, and then took out a long knife to gently cut off the bee cover, after cutting off, the honey sealed in it will flow out, and when it is put into the honey shaker, through continuous rotation, under the action of centrifugal force, the honey will gather at the bottom of the honey shaker.

Gao Mingcheng kept turning the handle of the honey shaker, and as an experienced man, he already knew how long it would take to shake the honey in the bee's spleen.

He kept shaking the honey in the mountains, and the unique fragrance of the honey filled the air, attracting an uninvited guest, the wasp.

In addition to wasps, Gao Mingcheng also found a few bumblebees, bumblebees are chubby, they look very cute, they can be able to eat, and there are basically no leftovers all year round, so no one wants to raise it.

Gao Mingcheng concentrated on shaking the honey, but if the wasp flew in front of him, then he would not be soft, and a wasp would die.

There is too much honey in summer, after Gao Mingcheng shook a few beehives, there was a lot of honey in the honey shaker, and he couldn't continue to shake the honey, so he could only choose to go down the mountain, pour the honey in the honey shaker into a large clay pot that was clean without water and oil, and then continue to go into the mountain to shake the honey.

After the honey in the clay pot has been precipitated, the upper layer of honey can be taken and canned, and this step is responsible for many beauties.

After three hours of busy work, Gao Mingcheng shook all the honey, and when he took the heavy honey shaker home, he saw that a lot of beauty had already filled a lot of honey.

Glancing at the remaining plastic bottles, he took out the canned bottles at home, and after eating, the bottles were washed and drained, and there were many uses in the future, but most of the time they were used to hold chili powder.

"There's a lot of honey, you can put the rest in canned bottles, and send some to my parents when the time comes, and your second sister's family will also send a catty."

"Hmm." Many beauties smiled and saw that he was going out again, so they asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'll go to the mountains to see how Poria grows." As soon as the words fell, Gao Mingcheng's back was no longer visible.

Gao Mingcheng led the two dogs into the mountain again, and this time went straight to Poria Land.

In the first half of this year, the wind and rain were smooth, and the Poria cocos planted a month ago had grown seedlings, but they still looked relatively small.

Gao Mingcheng inspected the slopes one by one, pulled out some dead Poria seedlings, and had to observe whether there were insects and ants in the place where the Poria cocos was planted.

Insects and ants are very harmful to Poria cocos, so when planting Poria cocos, it is necessary to use anti-insect medicine, but sometimes the medicine is not so effective, even if you use medicine, there may still be insects and ants.

But Gao Mingcheng's luck was not bad, and he looked all the way and didn't find any insects and ants.

He planted a batch last year and another batch this year, so that the Poria cocos in the mountains can be sustainable.

It's just that after digging out the grown poria cocos, the place can no longer be planted with poria cocos, and it has to be planted in another place.

The Oxtail Ridge Mountains are extensive, and Gao Mingcheng is not afraid of the high mountains and long roads, even if there are steep peaks, he can also climb the rocks, so this is not a thing.

After managing the Poria Land, the west was already full of clouds.

The clouds are rolling and the clouds are soothing, and the glow of the sun gilds the mountains and forests with a layer of gold, shining brightly, each of these places is a scene, but this scene, in the eyes of the villagers who are used to it, it is not worth seeing a few more times.

Gao Mingcheng is leaving again tomorrow, so he decides to get some more delicious food for the Black Tiger and the Elves.

"Let's go, go hunting. You are responsible for driving the prey out. Gao Mingcheng took out the flying knife on his waist and decided that the two dogs were in the light and he was in the dark.

Secretly mending the knife.

The two dogs have hunting experience, and after receiving the order, they instantly became excited, and the elf's stupid dog even spun in circles, as if he wanted to bite his tail to celebrate.

It's just that it's already evening, not the active time for birds and beasts, such as hares and pheasants, have already returned to their safe shelters, and the nests of birds in the treetops have also ushered in tired returning birds, waiting to wake up tomorrow morning to look for bugs.

However, the black tiger and the elf's sense of smell are not vegetarians, they searched for a moment in the mountains, and then rushed towards a place, Gao Mingcheng naturally followed.

But soon, there was a thick bush in front of you.

The two dogs, with their nimble figures, walked directly through the bottom of the bushes, and only a sound of rustling could be heard.

Gao Mingcheng could only make a detour, and after running with the two dogs for a while, he heard the sound of pheasants panicking and trying to escape.

But chickens are creatures that can't be seen at night, so when it's getting dark, they go back to a safe place and stay overnight.

If you have your own chickens and you plan to kill them tomorrow, it is best to catch them at night and tie them up with a rope so that they do not run away the next day.

Otherwise, it will take a lot of effort to catch chickens during the day.

With their excellent sense of smell, the two dogs accurately found a nest of pheasants, and finally ran away from a few, were bitten to death by each of the two dogs, and stabbed one by Gao Mingcheng with a flying knife.

In addition to the harvest of three chickens, Gao Mingcheng also picked up a nest of wild eggs.

Wuhu, harvested!
