Lu Xu put him down, and Lu Rui ran towards the cow, so frightened that Lu Xu hurriedly caught up, for fear that he would accidentally provoke the cow and be trampled to death.

Xiaoyu's eyes were sharp, and she could see from a distance that it was Lu Xu and them, who trotted over from the ridge, and Xiaoman and Lu Fu followed her and ran over.

Lu Xu asked Lu Zhou to put down the basket and pour a bowl of hawthorn pear juice for each person.

The few frozen pears left in the house were about to spoil, so Lu Xu turned them out and threw a handful of hawthorn slices and wolfberries to stew the soup.

In spring, the wind is high and the weather is dry, drink pear soup to moisten the lungs.

After a while, the children playing in the fields also came together, calling their brothers and uncles, and everyone rubbed a few mouthfuls of pear soup.

Lu Xu asked, "Why are you all running here to play?" ”

"We dig wild vegetables!" The children shouted in a mess to show Lu Xu the wild vegetables they had dug up.

Wild grasses and wild vegetables have grown in the open space facing the river and the sun, and the green patch is seen from a distance, but when you get closer, the soil is still exposed.

At this time, there is only a little bit of wild vegetables, so the children who don't have to work have time to dig them and take them home to satisfy their hunger.

Lu Xu returned the basket to them, and asked them to dig up the excess wild vegetables in the future and go to the grocery store to exchange sugar to eat......

Lu Xu threw Lu Rui to Lu Zhou to look at, and went to find Lu Hui and them himself.

There are fires burning weeds everywhere along the way, and there are many on the other side of the river, and looking at these fireworks, you can probably guess how many people have opened up the wasteland this year.

"Lu Xu is back!"

"I'm back!"

Lu Xu greeted all the way, and felt extremely comfortable and cordial when walking in the fields.

The third uncle and they had already burned a large field and went to the other side, Lu Hui and the fourth aunt took a shovel to look around for any unextinguished sparks, and when they saw it, they used a shovel to extinguish it, in case the wind burned elsewhere.

Lu Xu went over to help, he didn't bring tools, so he stepped on it with his feet, and the fourth aunt shouted to him: "Go out, the good shoes are dirty." ”

Lu Xu: "It's an old shoe, it's time to throw it away." ”

Fourth aunt: "Then be careful not to burn your feet." ”

Lu Xu responded.

The soles of the cloth shoes are worn out for a long time, and they are hot when stepped on in the fields that have just been burned and are still warm.

The fourth aunt saw that he had something to talk to Lu Hui, gave him the shovel, and went over to help watch the fire.

Lu Xu asked: "Is it possible to plow the land after burning?" ”

Lu Hui: "Well, it's all melted, turn it over, and plow it two or three times later." ”

Speaking of planting crops, Lu Hui couldn't help but be happy in his tone.

"Can I help you find someone to help you with?"

"No, I've got it all figured. You don't have to worry about the fields, but what do you plan to do in the mountains? ”

Lu Xu looked up at his three mountains, "Chop a batch of firewood first!" ”

Lu Xu didn't know anything else, he still knew that he wanted the trees to grow so well that they could leave space and let the trees see light and ventilate.

Just do it, Lu Xu went to the wharf of Yinma Town to find a group of people to come back to help with logging.

The people in the village who had not been cleared also took axes up the mountain to help, and Lu Xu said that whoever wanted to take the cut branches. Anyway, every household should burn firewood, don't do it in vain.

A large group of people entered the mountain, and even wild beasts were scared away.

A group of people work lively, the more powerful are responsible for cutting down trees, and the less powerful are responsible for cleaning up branches and branches, which is more efficient than one or two people.

Lu Xu instructed everywhere which trees could be cut down and which trees could not be cut, focusing on vacating the places where the eight mountain people had not yet cleared up and were ready to plant fruit trees.

The cut wood, left straight as a fence against wild beasts, bent and piled aside, Lu Xu planned to cut it short and sell it, or find someone to burn it into charcoal.

The remaining branches and branches, which are less than the thickness of an arm's arm, are taken down by everyone in bundles.

When the sun went down, a group of people came out with bundles of firewood, and found that there were not many trees missing from the forest they had cut.

"You can't see less, do you? After a few years, the remaining trees will grow and thick, and the secondary ones will be cut down again every four or five years. Lu Xu planned.

In the evening, they ate the wild fungus they found from the mountains, and they were all dry, and they were not picked up by the squirrels, so they were cheap.

Fungus, eggs, slices of meat, make a piece of mushu meat that lacks green.

Then use the pork ribs to stew dried beans to make a pot of rich pork rib soup.

The fourth aunt knew that Lu Xu loved rice, and she specially steamed a pot of white rice, sprinkled with sugar, and it was sweet, and Lu Rui could kill half a bowl without eating vegetables.

The family gathered at the grandparents' side to have dinner with He Meimei, and after dinner, they went back to clean up the bed and go to bed.

Yuan Manniang was cleaning at home, and Lu Xu led Layue and Lu Rui to Yan Junqi's house to have a look.

The house is easy to break if it is not lived for a long time, he reminded Yan Junqi to open the windows for ventilation, check whether the doors and windows are ventilated, and whether the walls are leaking.

Lu Xu sat down at Yan Junqi's desk, which used to be Yan Junqi's exclusive seat, and he opened the drawer and found that the drawer was empty, and even the ledger where he first drew horizontal and vertical strips was gone.

"Thrown? Or took it away? Lu Xu closed the drawer, his painting at that time really looked like garbage, and Yan Junqi would not have to bring it when he moved.

But in the end, it's his first ink treasure! Lu Xu was a little pity.

He was reluctant to admit that he was in love with the past, and when he returned to the county the next day, he casually mentioned it during the meal, and asked casually, "When I first borrowed your brush to draw blindly, the horizontal and vertical were crooked." Do you remember? ”

Yan Junqi nodded.

Lu Xu: "I don't know if that piece of paper is still there, did you throw it away when you moved?" ”

Yan Junqi shook his head: "It's still there." ”

This will be replaced by Lu Xu dumbfounded.

It's still there!

Is Yan Junqi also nostalgic?

The author has something to say:

Lu Xu: It's another day of majesty!

Chapter 120: New Dishes

In the blink of an eye, it was Qingming, although it was not a holiday day every ten days, and the county schools and academies were closed for students to go back to worship their ancestors.

Qingming is a big festival, and it is a good time for spring flowers to bloom and travel in spring, these days there are many nearby villages and towns on the county street to sell flowers and flower baskets.

Layue bought one, carried it all the way, walked from the county seat to the dock without letting Lu Xu hug it, and walked with small steps with a small flower basket.

Although Lujia Village Qingming also has the custom of picking flowers and weaving flower baskets, the village itself is not as exquisite as the county seat.

The small basket in Layue's hand is light and thin, and the willow branches of various colors are woven into the shape of flowers, and there are a few straw dragonflies and grasshoppers in the middle, as if lying on the flowers.

Layue has never seen such a beautiful flower basket, and neither has Lu Xu. He didn't like to raise flowers in the past, and he didn't do much research, and he was very curious to see all kinds of flower baskets, in addition to flower baskets, he also bought several garlands, and planned to take them back to the village for a few children to play with.

This kind of colorful flowers, it is quite difficult to make up if you don't look for them, Lu Xu wonders if someone has planted them on purpose, so he is waiting for Qingming to weave a wreath and sell it.

Worship ancestors, go out, have dinners, go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables......

Qingming is lively and lively, sad but not sad.

Especially this year, those unarmored soldiers who thought they would not be able to return home and now returned safely have ceremoniously made up for the incense and candles they have owed for many years.

On the day of Qingming, the mountain where the ancestral grave of Lujia Village is located was filled with the smell of incense.

In previous years, after worshipping their ancestors in the morning, the women and children in the village would carry a small basket in the afternoon and start digging wild vegetables in front of the village and behind the village.

The adults of the village, both men and women, all went to work on the hillside of Lu Xu.

At the beginning of the month, the large and small restaurants owned by Lu Xu sent all the dividends and exchanged the recipes for this year.

He wanted to raise chickens and ducks first in the spring.

The location has long been favored, just on the southern slope of the mountain in the north of the village, which is the slowest slope, and it is also the location of Lu Xu's early opening of the wasteland, from the foot of the mountain to the mountain, it is all his.

He thought about it, the upper part is planted with newly planted fruit trees, and the bottom is raised with chickens and ducks, so that he can raise chickens and ducks this year, and next year he will raise pigs and sheep next to it.

Lu Xu gestured to the villagers who came to build, "From here to here, this is a chicken nest and a duck nest." ”

Everyone slandered, where you are comparing the chicken nest is clearly to build a house! Who has such a big chicken coop!

The second uncle asked, "How many chickens and ducks do you plan to raise?" ”

Lu Xu was at a loss: "How much can this raise, can it only be raised for a hundred?" ”

The crowd was speechless again.

So you don't know it!!

Of course, Lu Xu didn't know that before moving to the county seat, the chickens, ducks and pigs at home were all raised by the fourth uncle's family, and when they raised them in the past, Lu Zhou and Yuan Manniang were basically feeding, how many could be raised in a cage at that time......

Lu Xu frowned and recalled.

"A hundred can only be raised, you want to raise so much?" He didn't have to think about it, the fourth uncle answered for him.

"Hmm." Lu Xu muttered, "I still want to raise more." ”

"More?"

"Raise a ...... of 1,800"

Everyone was shocked: "How much do you raise?!" ”

Lu Xu blinked, "Is it a lot?" Such a big mountain! "In his concept, it seems that there are a lot of chicken farms, and other people's chicken farms of such a big size can raise thousands, and a thousand chickens on such a big mountain are not enough to see!

Everyone was still shocked by his generosity, but could it be possible to raise it all over the mountain? For a moment, everyone began to think.

In their concept, chickens and ducks must be kept at home, how can there be a mountain full of free-range breeding, what if they are lost and caught by others?

But think about it again, this mountain is all Lu Xu's, where can you run if you get lost?

Someone asked, "Aren't you afraid of being taken away by wolves?" ”

Lu Xu: "Isn't this going to be fenced?" ”

Then they looked at the piles of wood from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Lu Xu: "From Uncle Guan's house to the foot of the mountain, circle it." ”
