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

This is the last time the sheep are shaving this year. In a while, the temperature will drop in winter. Although the temperature will not drop much, the sudden drop in temperature will still make the sheep sick. At this time, some of the wool has grown out after shaving at the beginning of winter.

Mu Xi killed ducks very quickly. This time he killed a male duck. It was a duck tamed by wild ducks. Its fur was bright, with a few hairs glowing pearly green. Mu Xi kept them all, thinking that Zhao Yeqing had made his own bags some time ago. Bag, maybe this can be made into an accessory.

Zhao Yeqing brought the duck in through the kitchen window and chopped it into pieces on the cutting board. The duck was so well eaten that it was a little fat. After removing the oil, he added it to the pan with ginger slices and stir-fried until the duck skin oozed golden fat. .

Mu Xi dug two kilograms of ginger from the greenhouse in the courtyard and washed the mud on it before taking it into the kitchen. This kind of vegetable that grows underground must be washed at the faucet outside the kitchen, otherwise the sediment will easily block the sewer.

Two pounds of ginger were cut into thin slices and fried together with the duck. It was more delicious than duck meat.

Zhao Yeqing originally wanted to make Douban duck this time, but when he saw Mu Xi collecting the duck blood into the white porcelain bowl, he changed his mind and poured the still liquid duck blood into the duck meat.

This is a special dish in Gui City, Guangxi Province, called vinegar-blooded duck.

Duck blood, duck meat, plus taro sprouts, which are the taro petioles that Zhao Yeqing used to pickle for cooking in the past few years.

But she has already cut the ginger today, and she plans to combine the methods of the two dishes, using ginger instead of taro sprouts, and the taste will not be bad.

Before the earthquake, Gui City was a well-known tourist city in the country. Compared with other tourist cities, the prices here are very cheap. The rice noodles are particularly delicious. A bowl only costs six yuan and there is a lot of meat. Very impressed.

There are very few dishes that are amazing, and this dish is one of the most unforgettable.

Duck blood has its own sweetness, and the texture when wrapped in duck meat and stir-fried is very special, salty and sour, and goes very well with rice.

The black stuff is duck blood. It’s delicious. I recommend it to everyone.

Before Zhao Yeqing fried the duck meat, he quickly took a piece of pork from the refrigerator that was seven fat and three lean, which is what people in Sichuan Province call two cuts of pork. He cooked it in a pot and cut it into slices. I took the bean paste that came out and fried the twice-cooked pork with green peppers.

There was a bumper tomato harvest recently, so Zhao Yeqing made a cold dish using tomatoes, steamed eggplants and preserved eggs.

In fact, in addition to tomatoes and eggplants, peppers, beans, pumpkins, bitter gourds... there are no vegetables grown in the ground that will not have a good harvest during this season, especially green leafy vegetables.

Nowadays, the green leafy vegetables are so luxuriant that Zhao Yeqing is too lazy to kill the insects, so he just lets them eat them. They can't finish them anyway. Occasionally, a few dogs will open the small door of the greenhouse in the courtyard and get in to nibble on the vegetable leaves. Two mouthfuls.

Half of the duck was fried, and the remaining half was boiled and became the dogs' dinner.

After dinner, both of them felt that they had eaten too much meat. They rarely had leftovers at home and ate everything they could on the spot. Mu Xi was also the kind of person who could eat meat. After eating, he sat at the table and ate slowly. Remove the remaining duck meat.

Zhao Yeqing saw that he was eating well, and he was greedy again. He didn't want to eat meat anymore, so he walked to the backyard and picked two oranges.

One was yellow-skinned and the other was green-skinned. To be on the safe side, she peeled off the yellow-skinned one first. It didn’t smell as sour as last year’s. I wonder if the fruit last year was because it was the first year after transplanting. The reason is that it is definitely more sour than drinking white vinegar directly.

Zhao Yeqing put a piece into his mouth and chewed it gently. When the juice burst out, his brows also relaxed.

"It's delicious! Do you want to try it?"

Seeing that her expression didn't look fake this time, Mu Xi ate the fruit she handed over with hesitation.

The pulp particles burst open, and the juice was sour and sweet. It was still a bit sour for him, but it was not inedible and it was quite delicious.

At this time, she had eaten too much meat, which was very satisfying, so she ate another piece with her hand.

The two of them finished eating the yellow-skinned tangerines, and Zhao Yeqing peeled off the green-skinned ones. She didn't know how to tell whether the fruit was ripe or not. The skin was always green, so she could only taste it with her mouth.

Surprisingly, it was sweeter than the yellow-skinned ones. Zhao Yeqing was so surprised that he could grow such delicious green-skinned tangerines. He broke off half of them and gave them to Mu Xi. After he finished eating the ones in his hand, he went out and picked two more to eat.

Purely natural tangerines without pesticides (no need to sprinkle them). Peel off the peel and clean it briefly before drying it. Dried tangerine peel can be made into homemade tangerine peel, which can be used for cooking, soup, and medicinal purposes.

The two of them also made some in the past few years. Now because they are well preserved, they not only have no musty smell but also have a more mellow aroma.

After the beginning of autumn, the air is crisp and clear.

The temperature drop this year seems to be more obvious than last year. The grass on the meadow, which has been green for two consecutive years, is finally turning slightly yellow.

The sky is no longer the long-term high-brightness blue sky with no clouds like in summer. Instead, there are a few small white clouds floating slowly in the breeze, which seems to be so peaceful that it feels uncomfortable. The hourglass and quicksand that nature uses to show the passage of time.

Mu Xi watched the wind pick up and took the medicinal herbs drying in the yard into the original owner's house. He was sorting and placing them when Zhao Yeqing's voice came from the intercom on his waist.

"Come to the basement quickly, the silkworm moths have hatched."

"Okay, here we come."

Mu Xi put down the things on his hands. When he got to the basement, Zhao Yeqing was poking her head in front of the bamboo net blocking the square clusters. When she saw Mu Xi coming over, she was a little excited:

"Look! There are so many silkworm moths!"

The silkworms do not need to be fed with mulberry leaves during the hatching process. The two of them do not come down to see them every day. It has been two or three days since they came down. When they looked at them, they discovered that the white and round silkworm chrysalis had changed. It turned light yellow.

A small hole was corroded by silkworm moths at one end, and then it came out from the inside.

There is no harvest from this batch of silkworm cocoons this year. The cocoons that have hatched silkworm moths can no longer be used for weaving. Zhao Yeqing squinted his eyes and looked through the small gaps in the bamboo net. He saw that many black silkworms had appeared on the square clusters. egg.

With this amount of eggs, silk cannot be used this year, but it will definitely be used next year.

The two of them came to observe several times a day for the next few days, and found that two silk moths would separate after touching each other for about ten hours. Then the female moth would lay eggs within the next few hours, and the male moth would lay eggs after mating. The moth usually dies on the spot.

Surprisingly, none of these female moths had the ability to fly. When Mu Xi thought of the moth corpses all over the floor in the silkworm house of the previous silkworm farmer, he could understand why the silkworm moths did not leave the silkworm house with the door open.

The male moths that were able to fly died "happily" on the female moths long ago when the female moths released sexual pheromones.

Zhao Yeqing said while recording: "Maybe it's because the wings are small. It's normal for these female moths to have such big bellies and small wings that they can't fly."

These immobile female moths will die on their own within a period of time after laying eggs, as if they have consumed all the energy in their bodies.

It makes people feel sad to see it.
