butcher's little man

Soon they reached the chestnut tree, Li Wenxuan put down the basket, let Le Geer out, and said to Tian Xiaoman and Li Amu, "I'll go see what Father is doing first!"

Li Amu nodded, and Li Wenxuan left.Tian Xiaoman led Le Geer to the bottom of the tree, "Does Le Geer eat chestnuts?" He pointed to a big thorn ball and asked.

Le Geer squatted down, stared at the thorn ball carefully for a long time, shook his head, "No seven!"

Tian Xiaoman laughed, this child is a ghost, and he knows that this is not edible.

He took out the scissors in the back basket, cut open the big thorn ball, got out the chestnuts inside, and peeled the shell for him, "Do you want to eat now?"

The snow-white chestnut meat exudes a little aroma, tempting Brother Le, "Yes!" He nodded now.

Tian Xiaoman gave him the chestnuts, took out a large square cloth from the basket, put it on the grass, carried Le Geer up, and let him sit on it to eat.

Li Amu was already picking up the fallen chestnuts. She looked up at this side, smiled, and lowered her head to pick it up again.

Tian Xiaoman arranged for Brother Le, and when he saw Li Amu picking up under the tree, he decided to climb up the tree to kill.

He aimed at a tree branch, climbed up with hands and feet, and soon reached the branch below the top of the tree. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue climbing, but that the upper branch was too light. It couldn't bear his weight.

"Em, pass me a stick up here." He yelled down.

As soon as Li Amu raised her head, her soul was almost frightened, "Xiao Man, why did you climb so high, come down quickly, and be careful not to fall!"

"It's okay, Mu, I was used to climbing when I was young, just pass me that long stick over there!" Tian Xiaoman didn't care, he has been like this since he was a child.

Although Li Amu was anxious, but seeing how confident he was, she had no choice but to hold back her anxiety.

He ran to the place pointed by Tian Xiaoman, took the stick, folded off the excess branches with his hands, and handed it to Tian Xiaoman.

"Amu, stand back a little bit, I'm going to start beating." After Tian Xiaoman finished speaking, seeing that Li Amu had retreated to Le Geer's side, he swung his stick and hit the branch with chestnuts hard.

With a sound of "crash", the leaves were knocked to the ground by him, and a few hair balls also fell to the ground.

Tian Xiaoman gained a little more confidence, and stood on it again and kept tapping on the trunk and branches.

"Xiao Man, come down, it's almost done, I can't eat any more!" Li Amu was terrified, seeing that there were so many, she immediately told him to come down.

Hearing his anxious voice, Tian Xiaoman seemed to be about to cry if he didn't get down, so he got down from the tree. Anyway, he had been playing for a while, and it was fine when he got down.

Li Amu breathed a sigh of relief, and Tian Xiaoman gathered the fur balls that fell under the tree together, and prepared to peel them off before going down, otherwise so many fur balls would take up space!

Brother Le saw it, got up from the cloth, and walked over here, the chestnut in his hand had already been eaten.Li Amu felt that it was not good for the baby to eat too much, so she dug out a pack of pastries from the basket, gave him a small piece, and then gave another piece to Tian Xiaoman.

Tian Xiaoman thanked him, and sat down with Le Geer with the pastries, you and I ate one bite at a time.

When Li Wenxuan arrived at Father Li's place, he saw him squatting in a bush, staring at the front with all his attention.

Seeing this, Li Wenxuan walked over lightly to see what Father Li was looking at.

It turned out that there was a little wild boar in front of him, eating the fruit that fell on the ground, and he was eating it vigorously.

"Father, why don't you shoot it to death with an arrow?" Li Wenxuan said, picked up the bow and arrow, and wanted to shoot it.

"Wait!" Father Li stopped him, "This is just a little guy, and there is a big guy next to it. If this disturbs them, it might run towards us."

"What are you afraid of, just kill him!" Li Wenxuan said indifferently.

Father Li knocked on Li Wenxuan's head with a chestnut, "You brat! Don't I know? I've been staring at it for days. This is a big nest. If there is more than one nearby, a group of them will rush over to see you. How powerful is this brat."

Li Wenxuan let out an "ouch", thinking to himself, who knows now!

"Em, Xiao Man and Le Geer are also here, by the chestnut trees."

"Then don't irritate them. If they rush over, the beasts don't care if they are old brothers or not."

"Em asked you to bring back a pheasant and cook chestnut chicken tonight." Li Wenxuan told his father Li Amu's order.

"It's already there. I found it in the trap this morning. It's still alive. Don't look at it. We'll take the chickens there. We'll gather people to clean them up next time. Otherwise, they'll go down and harm the villagers' crops sooner or later."

Li Wenxuan nodded in praise, and took the things with Father Li.

When they came over, it happened that Tian Xiaoman and Li Amu had almost peeled the chestnuts.

Li Amu looked up and saw the pheasant in their hands, and smiled with satisfaction, "Caught it so soon?"

"I caught it this morning. You got so many chestnuts?" Father Li was puzzled. There has been no strong wind for the past two days. How could so many chestnuts fall?

"Xiao Man beat him, he climbed up a tree and beat him down with a stick!" Li Amu explained.

"Hey, Xiaoman is so good? Few of my brother's family can climb trees. Let's go hunting with my father some other day!"

Father Li spoke with great interest, and as soon as the words fell, Li Amu pinched her body hard, "You old fool, what are you thinking all day long? You actually asked Xiaoman to go hunting with you?"

Li Amu finished scolding Li's father, then turned to Tian Xiaoman and said, "Xiaoman, don't be as knowledgeable as him, he is old and foolish!"

Tian Xiaoman nodded obediently. In fact, after Grandpa Li finished speaking just now, he wanted to agree. Fortunately, he spoke slowly. Now that Father Li was scolded so badly, he dared not speak up.

Li Wenxuan saw what he was thinking, and when he saw him pretending to be good in front of Li Amu, he winked at him, which made Tian Xiaoman dare not speak out.

At this moment, Brother Le stood up suddenly, walked to Li Wenxuan, stretched out his small fist, "hit you!" Then he hit Li Wenxuan on the calf a few times, turned around and smiled brightly at Tian Xiaoman, as if to say, look, I will help you revenge.

Tian Xiaoman was startled by his actions, and when he realized it, he ran over happily, hugged Brother Le and kissed him on the face, "Oh, Brother Le, you are so caring, why are you so painful? I will miss you when I go back!"

Tian Xiaoman hugged him, kissed and called him, Li Wenxuan curled his lips, this brother was hurting for nothing, he bought so many delicious food for him, and he didn't think about his uncle at all.

In fact, Brother Le is very smart, so what if you can buy it, how can it be compared to others who can do it?But he didn't expect so much, it was purely to help the new comer.

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Li Amu and Li Afu burst into laughter. This is like a family. In the past, only the two elders called a milk doll, and the family was really deserted.

After laughing and laughing, they left the chestnut grove and went to another place, where there was a large flat land with a stream beside it.

Anyway, it's still early, so it's better to dig some wild vegetables before going back.

When Tian Xiaoman came here, he followed Li Amu, bowed his head and started digging.

What they dig is shepherd's purse, which can also be called pillow grass, and in some places it is called ground vegetable.Shepherd's purse is best eaten in spring. As the saying goes, "On March [-], shepherd's purse is a panacea." Although it is autumn, it's okay. There is plenty of water here, and shepherd's purse grows plump and tender.

Li Amu was very happy. Finally, someone picked these wild vegetables with him. These big bastards asked them to pick vegetables, and they would pull in the wild vegetables together.

While they were digging wild vegetables, Father Li sat on the bank and looked at Brother Le. Li Wenxuan wanted to go down to the stream to see if there was anything to eat.

Not long after, they dug up a basket of shepherd's purse, and Li Wenxuan had already returned to the bank. The stream was too clear, and there were only small black screws in it, nothing else.

Li Amu greeted and was ready to go back. With so many things, lunch can be made a little bigger.He asked Tian Xiaoman, and he has done all these things before.

There is a good craftsman next to him, he just needs to feel at ease and beat him.

Back home, Father Li took a pheasant and went out to kill the chicken. Li Wenxuan went to start a fire and boiled the chestnuts first, otherwise the stewed chicken would be hard to cook.

Li Amu and Tian Xiaoman were responsible for washing all the shepherd's purses. After washing, Li Amu asked Tian Xiaoman, "How do you eat these shepherd's purses? We usually eat them fried."

Shepherd's purse has a unique aroma, and it is also very fragrant when fried.

"Amu, let's eat a new way of eating today. My Amu taught me. Let's make shepherd's purse dumplings!" Speaking of Tian Amu, Tian Xiaoman felt a little sad. He has grown up so much, and he hasn't left yet. He's been so long.

"How do you make this shepherd's purse dumpling?" Seeing Tian Xiaoman's somewhat lonely expression, Li Amu quickly changed the subject.

Tian Xiaoman really turned his mind to this, "This is very simple, just watch me do it later."

Tian Xiaoman scooped out several bowls of flour first, mixed the water well, and rolled it into dumpling wrappers with Li Amu.

Then he blanched the shepherd's purse, drained it, chopped it and put it in a basin, and adjusted the taste with oil, salt, chili powder, and ground spices.

Then I cracked a few more eggs, stirred them evenly, poured them into the oil pan and fried them well, smashed them with a spatula, put them into the shepherd's purse and stirred them well.

Tian Xiaoman picked up a dumpling wrapper, put some fillings on it, folded his hands together, and made a beautiful dumpling.

"It looks delicious, Xiao Man, your hands are really skillful!" Li Amu praised.

"Where, I learned from my mother." Tian Xiaoman felt embarrassed.
