Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Not satisfied with the palm-sized mutton pie in the morning, Zhao Yeqing asked Mu Xi to bake two more. He added jasmine flowers picked and dried in the summer to the fresh goat milk and boiled them together.

The goat milk cooked in this way will not have too much odor, and it can be left to cool for a while while Mu Xi bakes the pancakes, and then ice cubes can be added to it before going out.

Pour the chilled goat's milk into the kettle, put the hot pancakes into the lunch box, and direct Mu Xi to carry the fishing gear on his back and set off towards the lake.

The two of them haven't been to the lake for a long time. Every time the climate changes, there will be a clear water level dividing line on the lake shore.

Before the hottest days of summer, I originally thought of diverting water from the lake to take care of the two original pastures. Then I went to the lake and found that the lake water had evaporated and the water level had moved back a lot.

Now the water level has risen slightly, but it still has not climbed to the original water level.

Mu Xi carefully placed the cage under the grass by the lake and at the branch that led to the stream.

The sun is just right now, not too hot, and there is a slight breeze blowing by the lake, bringing with it a hint of coolness, making the reeds by the lake swipe.

The weather was really suitable for taking a nap. Zhao Yeqing lay half-way by the lake with his eyes squinted, and took a sip of homemade iced jasmine-scented goat milk to refresh himself.

After Mu Xi put down the cage and came over, he opened the lunch box containing the mutton pie.

This time Mu Xi made four cakes, two for each person was just right.

In addition to lamb, the pie also contains onions and carrots. When you bite into it, the delicious and sweet juice overflows.

The two of them ate the delicious food, looked at the blue lake in front of them, and listened to the sound of plants being blown by the wind not far away. They were so quiet that they didn't say a word.

After both cakes were finished, Zhao Yeqing stretched himself and said, "How many shrimps do you think we can catch with those two small baskets?"

Mu Xi looked up at the sky and thought, "This should be enough to satisfy the craving, right?"

The size of wild river shrimp and lake shrimp he has seen is generally one to three centimeters, and slightly larger ones can be as small as the smallest shrimp, about five centimeters.

The reproduction amount of shrimp is quite large, let alone such a large lake.

Zhao Yeqing thought about the few chicken essence and MSG at home, "I want to get more to make shrimp powder."

She didn't do much research on shrimps, but she had the impression that lake shrimps should have a wide range of activities, and the best way to catch them is to use a net.

Among the materials used to weave the net, the most likely one is nylon rope.

After recalling it carefully, it seems that I have never found so many nylon ropes. At most, they are only one or two meters or two or three meters removed from other things.

However, there were no nylon ropes in ancient times. It seemed that they were all made of hemp rope. It was not very durable but at least it was usable. The two of them only used it occasionally, so it should not have much impact.

After all the ramie cut last year was twisted into rope, there was still a lot left. This thing can be reused. There are not many places where rope is used at home, and there are still a few large bundles left.

Mu Xi thought for a while, "It's time to harvest ramie now. The area of ​​ramie has increased a lot this year. I'll collect some back for emergencies."

When the water rose last time, the two of them said they wanted to find a way to make ramie clothes when they passed by. However, they then went to the tourist area and searched several times, including the houses of the nearby indigenous herdsmen, but found no thread-twisting people. tool.

In the end, I could only give up the idea.

However, the amount used in weaving fishing nets is quite large, so it’s good to collect a little more. Ramie leaves can be eaten by pigs and cows.

After returning home, Mu Xi planned to harvest the harvest today, but Zhao Yeqing was a little resistant.

When harvesting ramie last year, there were many caterpillars crawling on the back of a bundle of ramie leaves. Just one look at it gave her goosebumps all over her body.

It is the larvae of a moth that lives on plants in the Urticaceae family. It is only as thick as the tip of a chopstick. It has black-orange spots all over its body and is covered with downy hairs. It hides on the back of the ramie leaves. When you open it, you can see a lot of them. Squirming behind.

Looking back now, Zhao Yeqing still felt cold all over.

But after such a hot high temperature, there shouldn't be many bugs that can survive.

Mu Xi didn't say these words. He smiled and rubbed the top of her head. "Don't go if you're afraid. I'll take care of it and move it back."

Everything else can be overcome, but the thought of facing a bunch of wriggling black caterpillars with fur...

At this moment, Zhao Yeqing suddenly felt that people don't need to embarrass themselves so much sometimes.

He nodded cheerfully, "You go ahead, I'll look after the house at home."

After all, there is still a lot of work to do at home.

After Mu Xi went out, Zhao Yeqing went to check the eating situation of the young wild boar in the pig pen.

One and a half baskets of pigweed. I fed half a basket of pigweed when I went out at noon, and now I have eaten it all.

These wild boar cubs have only been here for a few days, and they have already gained weight.

Now that the weather is still warm, rinsing them with water every few days to keep them clean can also reduce the risk of getting sick.

After rinsing it off, Zhao Yeqing randomly picked up a piglet and weighed it with his hands, feeling that it must have gained a few pounds.

If you follow this rule, it will definitely not be a problem to gain twenty or thirty pounds in a month. When you grow older and eat more, you will probably grow faster.

It is already early November, and there are only about two months left before the Chinese New Year. I am afraid that the pigs will not be able to eat during this year’s New Year, so I have to wait until next year.

The weather is still quite warm now, and I don’t know if this winter will be normal.

Zhao Yeqing pulled out the weeds growing on the unpaved ground in the yard. Now only the middle part of the front yard was paved with cement. It would be much more convenient if the whole yard was paved with cement.

It can also avoid waiting for the snow to melt in winter, and then the ground will be muddy everywhere.

When my family built a house before, there was still a lot of lime left over from the excavation. It would be enough to dig out two trucks in a day to cover the front yard, and there would still be some left over for later use.

Zhao Yeqing tidied up the messy things in the yard. When Mu Xi led Xiaohong to pull the cart back, she was shoveling away the moss growing on the ground in the yard.

"I thought there won't be anything going on recently, so I'll pave the yard with cement first, so that it will be easier to walk."

Mu Xi was unloading the things in the car on the ground. When he heard Zhao Yeqing talking, he stopped what he was doing and listened while wiping his sweat.

After hearing this, he nodded without thinking, "Okay, I'll dig it tomorrow."

After the two built the brick wall before, they paved the ground inside the brick wall with cement. He had this idea at the time.

But later on, when we cleared wasteland to grow pasture, we forgot about sowing grain in the autumn.

After that, he added: "The floor heating mentioned before also needs to be arranged."

Hearing this, Zhao Yeqing was a little confused. They originally planned to wait until the weather dropped to more than ten degrees, so why did they suddenly decide to do it?

Mu Xi didn't say anything and pointed to the numbers on the watch directly to her.
