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

The two moved some furniture upstairs, including wardrobes, beds, desks and chairs.

Some decorations originally placed on the first floor have also been moved to the second floor.

But looking at it this way, it is still a bit empty, and the first floor has also become empty. The dogs are very happy, and their playing area is larger.

The two stayed on the second floor for a few days and found that it was indeed much better than the first floor. It was not so humid. The air conditioner was turned on for a while every day, and the whole house was fairly dry.

The premise is that the windows cannot be opened.

The humidity outside was still relatively high. On the first day they moved in, they accidentally opened the window for a while and discovered that there was already a layer of moisture on the tile floor.

Zhao Yeqing placed a rattan basket in the corner of the room. Inside was a basket of charcoal to help dehumidify.

The floor in the house was wiped clean, and it was much easier to take care of after it was laid with tiles. In some places, the tiles cracked when prying them off, so the gaps were filled with cement.

Although the floor looked a little uneven, with many crooked gaps that looked like irregular marble patterns, the two of them carefully polished every gap with sandpaper so that they wouldn't feel it even if they stood barefoot on the ground in the house. Sore feet.

Zhao Yeqing had just moved to the second floor and saw that every place was fresh. He carefully wiped the dust in the corners.

Although life is not so smooth, the two of them still work hard to live a good life every day. She likes this feeling.

From the balcony on the second floor, you can have a panoramic view of the entire backyard of the house, and you can also see the newly planted bamboos outside through the courtyard wall.

Bamboo is very adaptable. It has grown well now and has sprouted many branches and leaves. It is about 50 meters away from the courtyard wall. As long as the bamboo forest is not allowed to grow towards the home, the branches and leaves will not reach into the yard.

The bedroom on the second floor also has a window facing the front yard. Looking out from here, you can directly see the grain field outside the front yard. Mu Xi is squatting next to the snail pond picking snails.

When he walked into the yard, he looked up and saw Zhao Yeqing smiling and waving to him behind the window on the second floor.

He unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes were shining with a light he didn't realize he had, and he raised his voice and shouted, "Come down and eat."

During this period, there were almost too many snails in the snail pond. I just picked up a small pot from the pond yesterday, and after soaking in the sand, I picked out another small pot today.

Mu Xi soaked what he picked up today in clean water, took out yesterday's pot of snails that had spit out sand, washed them, and cut off the tail. When Zhao Yeqing came in, he said to her: "I'll fry a pot of snails and eat them for fun. You go ahead." Pull some perilla leaves for me."

Zhao Yeqing walked to the side of the greenhouse in the courtyard, pulled out a few perilla leaves and a few fake bean leaves, washed them and gave them to Mu Xi, "It will be more fragrant to stir-fry them together."

This time, fermented chopped peppers and sour bamboo shoots were also added to the stir-fry. First stir-fry the snails to dry up the water, then spread the snails around the pot, pour oil again in the middle, and when the oil is hot, add the chopped peppers and chopped sour bamboo shoots. Put the bamboo shoots in hot oil and sauté until fragrant.

Stir-fry for two minutes, then add the surrounding snails, pour a small bowl of boiling water over it, add the seasonings, then cover and simmer.

When I opened the lid of the pot, the whole house was filled with the fresh aroma of snails and the spicy and sour aroma of pickled bamboo shoots and chopped peppers. Just smelling it made me drool.

This taste reminded Zhao Yeqing of the hot and sour rabbit with fresh pepper that the two made the year before last. It was based on the original fresh pepper rabbit dish, and added pickles such as chopped pepper and sour bamboo shoots.

Zhao Yeqing chewed the snail, feeling the rich and overbearing sourness, and said with some nostalgia:

"I thought I didn't want to eat rabbits anymore, but it didn't take long for me to want to eat rabbits again. I went to the meadow to hunt two and came back later."

It was only noon when Zhao Yeqing changed her clothes and went out. She went out on horseback, while Mu Xi was tending weeds in the fields at home.

In addition to taking care of weeds, more drainage ditches must be added between each grain field. The humidity in the weather is high and it rains every day. Under such circumstances, newly grown crops are prone to root rot. .

In addition to increasing drainage, you also need to drill a few more holes in the ground near the plants to help with ventilation.

From time to time he would see beautiful moss growing on the land, so he would carefully shovel up a whole piece of moss, fill a small pottery pot with soil, and put the moss on top to make a small moss potted plant.

Mu Xi discovered that Zhao Yeqing was quite fond of this kind of potted plants during this period, and he could take them to the second floor to decorate them for her.

Compared with the previous two years, the climate this year is considered to be better. It is neither too cold nor too hot. The temperature is also normal. It will not feel like a year like in previous years.

Before I know it, it’s the end of October and it’s almost November.

During this period, the temperature at noon only dropped from 36-7 degrees to 34-5 degrees. The tillering stage of newly sown corn and wheat has passed, and the rapeseed flowers are gradually withering and preparing to produce rapeseed.

The yield of rapeseed this year is definitely higher than last year, and we will have to find time to squeeze the rapeseed oil in the future.

Speaking of pressing oil, Mu Xi suddenly remembered that it had been more than a year. The last time he went to Yunwu Mountain to pick tea fruits and came back to press oil, the little tea leaves he got to wash Zhao Yeqing's hair had been used up long ago.

This year, Zhao Yeqing used a recipe from a nearby ethnic minority called the Yi people to wash his hair. The girls in that area were famous for having good hair. The longest hair was already on the floor, black, straight and shiny.

Tufangzi uses rice washing water to wash his hair, but this rice washing water is not ordinary rice washing water. Instead, a large pot of rice washing water is put into a pot, and then it is baked next to the fire pit.

The heat will cause the rice water to ferment continuously. After fermentation, the rice water is scooped out to wash your hair, and the consumed part is replenished with new rice water.

The cycle is repeated to ensure that the rice washing water in the pot is a mixture of old and new, and is constantly fermented, just like the old brine left by some time-honored braised vegetables restaurants. The longer it is, the more fragrant it is, the longer it is, the heavier it is, and the better the effect.

It just doesn't make much bubbles, and it doesn't feel as good as Cha Ku. Moreover, no matter how good the product is, its effect will diminish after being used for a long time. It's best to use two or three products alternately.

But now there is a big boss waiting on the road going down the mountain to the pine forest. If you want to go there, you can't get to the foot of the mountain and enter Yunwu Mountain unless you find another road besides its territory.

I was thinking about things in my mind while working on my hands. Before I knew it, I was done. I looked up at my watch and saw that it was already 3pm.

Logically speaking, with Zhao Yeqing's current skills, it shouldn't be a big problem to hunt two rabbits in more than an hour, but it had been almost three hours and he still hadn't come back.

He walked to the fish pond and washed away the mud from the soles of his shoes. He picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to ask about Zhao Yeqing's situation when the walkie-talkie in his hand started to make a sound.
