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

It's just that this machine can't process many lotus roots at one time, and after running it a few times, the engine will get hot, and you have to stop and rest for twenty minutes before you can continue to use it.

Zhao Yeqing planned to use the most primitive method to process more than a hundred kilograms of lotus roots. He would first cut a part of the lotus roots into slices, put them into the big stone pound that was used to make rice cakes, and use the thick wooden stick to beat them. Mash it into puree.

Every time you cut the lotus root, you can only cut part of it first. Otherwise, if you cut it all before cutting it, the front lotus root slices will be oxidized and turned black before they are mashed into puree.

The juicer is not idle either, it can help to some extent. Electrical appliances are used a lot and will break if left unused for a long time.

The lotus roots squeezed into puree and the lotus roots pounded into pieces by Zhao Yeqing's hands were placed in the largest piece of gauze, and then the full gauze bag was put into a small bucket filled with water.

Keep rubbing the wrapped gauze with your hands to wash out the starch in the lotus root paste inside, and finally get a large bucket of milky white water.

The rest is left to time to settle. Zhao Yeqing couldn't move it after thirty kilograms, and planned to talk about the rest tomorrow.

Pour the lotus root residue after washing the starch into an aluminum pot, and then boil it into pig food and feed it to pigs.

It is really convenient to have pigs. Everything that dogs, cattle and sheep cannot eat can be left to them to get rid of. However, after eating too much and eating miscellaneous food, the feces will be difficult to process because the water content is too high.

Zhao Yeqing returned to his room to rest. With a pen and paper in hand, he casually designed the layout of the pipes in his home.

She wanted to not re-lay the pipes under the pig pen to the septic tank. She had this idea before, but it was too troublesome, so she just left it alone. If she doesn't plant anything this fall, it will be empty for half a year. The time is spent doing nothing.

What she wants to plant most at the moment is cotton, but it is best to plant it in the spring. The second half of the year will most likely be relatively free, if she doesn't find something to do for herself.

It was almost night before Mu Xi opened the courtyard door. Zhao Yeqing had been waiting impatiently for a long time. He was not far from the path down the mountain. Logically speaking, he should have been back long ago, but he had been gone for so long.

When Mu Xi got home, his body was covered in grass clippings, but his helmet was still clean.

"What's going on? Did you meet something else?"

Mu Xi took off his helmet. The inside was soaked with sweat and turned a dark color, and his hair was full of crystal reflections.

He nodded and said, "I met it. Just where the monkey was before, it was a chimpanzee."

Zhao Ye was surrounded by people: "What is it?"

Mu Xi couldn't help laughing when he saw her expression. He probably had the same expression when he saw it, "Where the monkey was before, I didn't hear the monkey or see the monkey when I passed by. I was still confused at the time, and I was thinking When I got close to the peach tree, I saw a big one lying on the branch..."

The chimpanzee was dark in color and was inconspicuous lying on the branches under the shade of the tree. If it hadn't moved, Mu Xi would have ignored it and almost stepped into the other's territory. He quickly retracted his foot. Sneak away quietly and go to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree first.

I was a little scared when I got close to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. I squatted in the grass and observed, and threw a few stones under the tree to make sure there was no movement around me before I walked over.

After collecting a pack of sweet-scented osmanthus, I remembered the tree full of peaches I had just seen. After hesitating for a while, I decided to go take a look again.

He walked to the place where he had found the chimpanzee again, still squatting in the dense thatch. There was no trace of the chimpanzee in the place where he had been. He did not dare to move, and waited for ten minutes before slowly moving out.

When they arrived at the foot of the peach tree, a long wooden stick was prepared and knocked down all the peaches from the peach branches that were hanging most to the ground.

The peach meat is crispy even when it is ripe, and the skin will not be broken when it falls on the ground covered with fallen leaves.

Mu Xi didn't dare to stay longer, took off his clothes, wrapped a bag and turned around to leave.

Just as he was about to step out of this area, a long roar suddenly came from behind him, and a penetrating cry flew from between the tree trunks to behind him in an instant.

Mu Xi fired without thinking. After the shot, he didn't care whether he hit or not, turned around and ran up the mountain.

The orangutan behind him chased him to a small intersection. When he reached the intersection, he rode away on his bicycle. The last thing he looked back at was that the orangutan opened his mouth and shook his body unwillingly, and finally got back down the mountain.

He didn't dare to take off his helmet along the way, for fear that the orangutan would catch up and throw a stone at him. After he got on the bike, he had no time to worry about the helmet anymore. After a boring day, the inside was soaked with sweat.

Zhao Yeqing was even more confused: "Where did the chimpanzees come from in our country? Isn't that thing from Africa?"

yes...

There were no orangutans in the reserve where Mu Xi lived before, nor near Meishan. When he saw such a big black monkey, he subconsciously thought it was an orangutan. After saying this, he remembered that he had not seen the monkey's face carefully at all.

A black, slightly larger monkey...

Zhao Yeqing hesitated: "Could it be a gibbon?"

(Pictures here)

The only big black monkeys in the country are gibbons. If they are really gibbons, maybe there are not only black ones at the foot of the mountain. There are many kinds of gibbons in China. There are 20 species of gibbons in the world, and there are six species in China.

Unless it's an orangutan that escaped from a zoo, it's not impossible.

Mu Xi put down the basket behind him, which contained scattered osmanthus flowers and peaches buried in the osmanthus flowers.

He ran so fast on the road that all the things that had been tied up were scattered in the basket. Mu Xi picked out the peaches, and Zhao Yeqing took the basket to the kitchen and poured all the sweet-scented osmanthus inside into a small basin. They will clean it and dry it tomorrow. .

I can't wash it tonight. Without the sun, I can't wash the sweet-scented osmanthus and dry it. It will stink tomorrow.

The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus permeates the entire kitchen. Even though the flowers are only one cup in size, the fragrance can beat most flowers.

There are also several osmanthus branches full of flowers in the basket, which Mu Xi brought back for Zhao Yeqing to put in the vase.

Just like every time he comes across flowers when he goes out, he will pick them back for her.

"There are a few flowers on it. They may have been accidentally dropped while running. I will fold more beautiful ones for you next time."

Zhao Yeqing held Guizhi and shook his head, "That's good."

This stuff can be fragrant for a long time. Even if the osmanthus on top dries, it will not affect its fragrance. Instead, it will have a smoky flower aroma, which is very special.

The peaches were cleaned and put in the fruit basket. After dinner, Mu Xi peeled a peach and handed it to Zhao Yeqing. After eating, she was about to throw away the core when she was stopped by Mu Xi.

Zhao Yeqing was surprised: "Is it possible that you still want to plant it?" How many years will it take for this thing to grow up?
