A dozen people sat under the eaves, drinking ginger wine soup and waiting for the rain to stop.

Zhao Shanshi watched the sky slowly turn blue, the rain clouds were swept away, the sky was as blue as washing, the air was much fresher, and the slightly moist and cool breath was breathed into the nasal cavity, which shocked people's spirits.

"I'll go to the fields to have a look." Zhao Shanshi went inside to get a bamboo hat.

Li Ping stood up, "I'll go with you."

The old man looked at them and hurriedly yelled: "What's the use of you just taking bamboo hats? Raincoats! Put on raincoats and rainshoes!"

Liu Erhua and the others wanted to go too. Seeing that they were going together, they simply sat down and went to the back mountain to see the livestock later.

Doudou drank some ginger wine soup, and after blowing the wind for so long, he finally became fully awake. Seeing that his two fathers were about to go out, he hurriedly ran over with his calves, and took Zhao Danshi's hand hanging by his side. , meaning to go together.

Zhao Shanshi squatted down, "Dou Zai, you want to go with us too?"

Dou Zai nodded seriously.

It was raining and the road was slippery, Zhao Danshi didn't want to take a bag with him, so Li Ping took out a hoe from the utility room and said, "Let him go with us."

When Doudou heard his father speak for him, he quickly raised his head and smiled at Zhao Danshi, showing a row of neat teeth, and called out crisply: "Dad!"

"Okay." Seeing his appearance, Zhao Danshi had to scratch his nose to compromise, "Let's go together, but don't cry when you fall down and get covered in mud."

Doudou hurriedly shook his head and said seriously, "Don't cry."

As soon as they raised their front feet and were ready to set off, the tanks on their back feet followed a few puppies, whimpering and chirping.

These puppies eat and drink in the yard, and most often follow Luo Haoran and DouDou, DouDou treats them well, and they usually follow behind DouDou's butt when they want to go out to play.

Zhao Danshi looked at the animal army, they were a bit big-headed, he didn't want to have to bathe these little guys when he came back later, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Go back."

The puppies whimpered and whimpered, making little milky noises in their throats, Zhao Danzhi raised his eyebrows, "Come on, I won't look at you, you're almost twenty catties, and you're still acting like a baby, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Mingtai felt pitiful for these puppies, and said, "Master, you can take them with you."

The old man also said, "These dogs haven't seen a rainy day, or take them there, it's poor."

When the old man said this, Zhao Shanshi had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, then I'll take them there, and I won't be in charge of taking a bath when I come back covered in mud."

"You don't need to wash it, as soon as someone in the yard is free, he will wash it by himself."

Li Ping was already waiting outside the door with a hoe in hand, Zhao Shanshi was holding Doudou's little hand, followed by a group of half-sized dogs, and walked towards the field together.

Zhao Danshi turned around, "Sure, what you said, I won't help these little mud dogs take a bath later anyway."

Zhao Mingtai nodded hurriedly.

A group of puppies happily ran away with Zhao Danshi and the others.

Yao Jingming looked at their backs in the yard and smiled: "Looking at the little guys in the yard, I don't know who I learned from, one is shrewd than the other."

"Doudou is naturally much smarter than other children. These puppies learned from DouDou, who else could they learn from?"

Su Jinshan threw up the apple in his hand, took a big bite with a click, "Not necessarily, maybe I learned it from Brother Haoran."

Luo Haoran smiled, "These puppies are also naturally shrewd."

They talked for a while, and prepared to go up the mountain to check the situation of the livestock with their things on their backs.

Many families in the village also came out to see the situation in the fields. Hua Zhi Niang saw them with a hoe and said with a smile, "Your house is so tight?"

Zhao Danshi smiled: "Yes, there is water dripping from the top of your head, and you are afraid of stepping on the branches of the rain under your feet, so it is better to wear tight. Don't you wear a straw hat?"

"No." Huazhi Niang smiled brightly: "It's useless to bring anything in this weather, unless you wrap your whole body up like you, or you will definitely get wet later."

They were chatting here, and not far away, the tank and other puppies were barking fiercely towards the road.

Zhao Danshi and the others suddenly became nervous, and Hua Zhiniang, who was chatting with him, also became nervous, "What's your dog called? Could it be a snake?"

Zhao Danshi was also a little scared, he picked up Doudou, Li Ping heard the movement, he was going ahead to check the condition of the fields, and then came back.

Zhao Shanshi hurriedly shouted: "Brother, don't go so close, I'm afraid there may be snakes."

"It's okay." Li Ping replied, he took a closer look, "It's not a snake, it's a crucian carp."

"Ah?" Zhao Danshi and the others walked over to have a look, but they saw a semi-large crucian carp four fingers wide lying in the pit, swimming desperately in the small puddle.

Hua Zhiniang exclaimed, "Yo, that's fine, your puppy has been trained to find fish."

Zhao Shanshi looked at the fish, "Where did the fish come from? Could it be washed out of someone's fish pond?"

"Where is the fish pond in this direction?" Hua Zhiniang said, "I think it's the wild crucian carp that was washed ashore. Once the water receded, the fish couldn't swim back, so they were trapped here. The environment has been good for the past few years. There are a lot of wild fish in the river, and there are several nests of crucian carp in the mud ditch, just go and have a look."

Zhao Danshi saw the fish swimming around in the puddle but couldn't get out, so he scooped up the fish, grabbed a handful of weeds nearby, pierced the fish from gills to mouth, and rubbed it again. Rubbing Rocket, who took the lead, "Good job."

Rocket let out a loud "Wow", and the fluffy dog ​​showed a proud look on his face. Not to be outdone, the other puppies spread their legs and started to run.

"Wow, woof, woof!" Soon a puppy found the target.

Zhao Shanshi took a pocket and looked over, and there was a big frog inside.

Zhao Danshi patted the submarine's head, "Good job!"

DouDou also stretched out his small hand to touch its head, his eyes sparkled.

The submarine was also encouraged, squatting there covered in mud spots, with its small chest sticking out high.

There were a lot of frogs on rainy days, and soon the puppies found out again. Zhao Danshi took the bag and pulled a strong vine to tie up the frogs one by one.

The dogs were trained by Luo Haoran. They have sharp eyes and quick movements. Basically, the prey they look at cannot escape.

For a while, the puppies barked everywhere.

Li Ping was inspecting the fields one by one. Some fields were flooded, so he dug up the ridges to let the water flow out. Some fields had no water accumulation, so he had to fill the ridges to prevent water from flowing in.

The barking sounds of the puppies sounded in Siye. He looked back and couldn't help but smile. He didn't remind the father and son of the purpose of coming out, and let them look for prey slowly.

The fields after the rain are a real treasure!

With Doudou and the puppies, Zhao Shanshi caught [-] frogs, [-] prawns, and [-] miscellaneous fishes, among which were two pond fishes, which came out only after picking a handful of rain. Lichens come.

Zhao Danshi dragged out the vegetable baskets he usually used for picking vegetables from their field, put his things in, picked a few big red tomatoes, and picked a lot of water spinach.

DouDou sticks up his buttocks and pulls the onions in the field with a serious face.

Zhao Shanshi looked at the full back basket, and then remembered that he had to inspect the fields.

Li Ping was already far away, Zhao Shanshi raised his voice and called out, "Brother, is Tian Xun ready?"

"The patrol is over." Li Ping came over with a hoe, and before he walked in, he heard the crowing of frogs in Zhao Danshi's basket.

Li Ping glanced, "Don't let them catch pests in the field?"

"No, there are a lot of them in the field. I always hear them calling and don't know where they are. Now I finally caught them. Let's try them out." Zhao Danshi showed Li Ping the basket on his back, and said, "They are all big frogs. No one smaller than two taels was caught."

DouDou nodded seriously beside him. He still doesn't know what pests and beneficial insects are, but he already knows very well that this basket is all delicious.

Zhao Shanshi supported Li Ping's shoulders and pushed him to the field, "Brother, pick me a handful of red peppers quickly, and I'll make dry-pot frogs and deep-fried prawns tonight."

Li Ping was pushed into the field by him, and Zhao Shanshi came back to pick leeks together with Doudou.

This leek was planted by the old man, and it has grown for more than ten years. Zhao Danshi has kept it. Now that the leek is sprouting, wait until you pick it up and fry it with five or six free-range eggs. It tastes so good.

The family quickly walked back with a basket full of ingredients. A group of puppies were praised for a good opportunity this afternoon. Their fur was flying and they kept running briskly on their four short legs.

When they returned to the yard, Yao Jingming and the others walked by one after another to see, "Hey, you guys went out and brought back a lot of things."

Luo Haoran glanced, "There are river delicacies, but there are few mountain delicacies. I will go up the mountain to pick some mushrooms."

The old man nodded again and again, "Yes, the mushrooms need to be picked now. The freshly grown mushrooms are fresh and tender. Haoran, if you go up the mountain and see wild garlic, pull some out. It's delicious to eat with this fish."

Zhao Mingtai looked forward to it, "Master, do you want to kill the chicken?"

Zhao Danshi took off the bamboo hat, and took off the raincoat that Doudou was wearing. Hearing this, he clicked his tongue and said, "Why do you always have trouble with those chickens?"

"The chicken is delicious." Zhao Mingtai whispered.

Zhao Shanshi shook his head and raised his eyebrows to signal, "Don't kill the chicken, if you really want to eat some meat, follow your Uncle Haoran up the mountain to see if you can catch any legal game."

Luo Haoran thought it was feasible, "Where's your crossbow? Lend me to use it."

"It's hanging in the house. You go and come back quickly. I think you can try to open a jar of wine made in the next year. Come back early and let's have a drink in the evening."

Luo Haoran laughed and said, "Success, let's go back quickly."

As soon as they heard that they were going to go hunting in the mountains, Yao Jingming and Peng Yuyun were also eager to try.

Zhao Danshi pointed to the dirty puppies in a yard, "Are you willing to help wash the dogs?"

"I'll wash it when I get back, and I'll wash it for you when I work overtime." Yao Jingming patted his chest to promise, and before Zhao Dan knew what to say, he pulled Peng Yuyun and followed.

Zhao Mingtai slipped away a long time ago, and the people in the yard scattered all of a sudden, even Lan Yunyue wanted to follow along curiously.

"You guys should change into non-slip sneakers!"

Before Zhao Danshi finished speaking, he was already far away. The puppies who hadn't had enough hunting for prey in the afternoon saw this appearance, and followed them with short legs. Luo Haoran didn't chase them away. When it comes down, Zhao Shanshi doesn't care.

The old man looked at a group of young people who had left far away, the smile on his face deepened, and the movements of his hands accelerated a bit.

It was past four o'clock now, and it was almost dark at around seven o'clock. It was only two hours. Zhao Shanshi estimated that they would not be able to stay on the mountain for long, and they would have to come down the mountain in a while.

The fish and frogs in the baskets had to be processed. Zhao Danshi and Li Ping quickly cleaned and marinated these few dishes, while Liu Erhua started processing leeks and other side dishes.

Although they were wearing raincoats and bamboo hats when they went to inspect the fields just now, they were picking vegetables and catching fish. Both Zhao Danshi and Doudou were covered with water vapor and a strange smell.

Zhao Danshi's hair was wet and draped over his head, and the black hair made his skin whiter, just like washed white jade, almost shining.

Li Ping walked by his side, touched the back of his neck with his hands, his tentacles were wet, and took him to take a bath.

Zhao Shanshi was tricked, so he didn't go to mention his youngest son.

Their bathroom was big enough, the family of three simply washed together, from head to toe, and came out dry and refreshed.

The old man saw that his face was flushed, and said: "You have been busy all day, you should take a rest anyway."

"Sit down and rest now." Zhao Shanshi smiled: "Grandpa, how many pieces of bamboo weaving have you made?"

"39 yuan." The old man finished weaving the piece in his hand, stood up and moved his body.

Zhao Wende also finished making up the piece in his hand. He organized his things and planned to go back.

Zhao Danshi kept him for dinner, "Uncle Wende, you can eat here tonight, so as not to save you from having to cook from scratch when you go back alone."

"No." Zhao Wende smiled honestly, "I left the leftovers from the morning. If I don't go back and finish eating now, I'm afraid it will go bad tomorrow."

After hearing what he said, Zhao Shanshi stopped persuading him.

Luo Haoran and his group came back yelling at almost 07:30, carrying a lot of trophies in their hands - wild vegetable sprouts, mushrooms, wild garlic, bamboo shoots, snakes, rabbits, wild birds, everyone held Carry something more or less.

"How did you gain so much?"

"Brother Haoran is a good crafter. You haven't seen his steel crossbow. Whoosh, we haven't seen anything yet, and there are prey nailed on it." Su Jinshan was full of excitement, and shook the hare in his hand , with a rippling voice, "Zhan~利~品~"

Zhao Shanshi asked them to put down their prey, "Hurry up and take a shower in your own room, and come down to eat later."

Zhao Danshi said that they went up to the mountain to take a bath, while Zhao Danshi and Liu Erhua worked on the harvest this afternoon.

Dry pot frog, fried wild bird, braised fish, braised rabbit with wild garlic, deep-fried prawns, pork ribs pond fish, chaotic snake stew, scrambled eggs with leeks... There are so many things, and the two long tables put together are full.

Zhao Danshi and Liu Erhua made two servings of each dish, trying to ensure that anyone with an extended hand could catch it.

"Stand up if you really can't pick up the dishes. They are all your own people anyway, so there is no need to be shy."

"Understood. Where's the wine? Mingtai, hurry up and take out the wine jar."

"Got it!" Zhao Mingtai jumped out like a rabbit, and soon came back with the wine jar in his arms.

Zhao Danshi made grain wine with miscellaneous grains. Not to mention other good things in it, the water used for brewing is all middle-grade spiritual spring water. From steaming rice to putting cold water, every step was bought from the Shouwang Mall All the high-quality raw materials have been fully contacted with the middle-grade Lingquan water, and the brewed results are also very gratifying.

After brewing for more than three months, Zhao Danshi sealed the wine lees and wine liquid in the jar, and when he checked whether the brewing was successful or not, he opened it and smelled it. In the heart of a person who can drink, and never forget it.

Luo Haoran used to think that one must drink white wine when drinking. The rice wine was too sweet and too light, and it tasted very unmanly. Since the aroma of Zhao Danshi's wine wafted out, he never said anything similar.

"Hey, Mingtai, Man Shang Man Shang, brother is a very good drinker, not afraid of getting drunk."

"Come on, do you still want to get drunk with rice wine?" Zhao Shanshi took the wine jar from Zhao Mingtai and said, "Everyone has half a bowl. Have you finished drinking? Let's taste it carefully."

"Just half a bowl of wine for each person, who is enough?"

"That's right, Brother Zhao, at least half a bowl?"

"You are promising! Single consciousness, full bowl!"

The old man also joined in cheerfully, holding the bowl and telling, "The bowl is full."

When the wine jar turned to DouDou, DouDou sucked the vegetable juice left by the chopsticks, his eyes full of longing.

Zhao Danshi tapped his head lightly, "You can't, you can't drink a drop."

Zhao Mingtai interceded for his future junior brother, "I can't even stick it with chopsticks?"

"No." Zhao Danshi flatly refused, "Take the cubs to eat vegetables."

A table full of dishes has already wafted the aroma of dishes all over the courtyard, and with the aroma of wine, everyone at the table will be drunk.

"Eat vegetables eat vegetables!"

"Drink and drink!"

Everyone stretched out their chopsticks.

"This wine is stronger than I thought." Su Jinshan smacked his lips, his jaw tightened, and his eyes turned red for a moment.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Luo Haoran smiled, "If you feel strong, hurry up and eat some vegetables."

Su Jinshan hurriedly stuffed tomatoes into his mouth with chewing gum.

Some of the people at their table were good and some were not. Zhao Danshi looked around and found that Yao Jingming was the one who drank the most. Seeing him looking over, Yao Jingming held out his bowl and made a toast to him.

Zhao Danshi picked up the bowl and touched him in the air.

Everyone drank a little too much that night, and by the end of the drink, their eyes were hazy, not completely drunk to the point of unconsciousness, but already smoky.

Su Jinshan kept expressing his gratitude to Zhao Danshi, "This place is really nice! Really, Brother Zhao, I never thought that one day I would be able to work in such a good place!"

Lan Yunyue also drank too much, and the usually cold scholar kept giggling, laughing so hard that he didn't even look at him, walked over with short legs and grabbed his favorite big brother, and looked at him worriedly.

Zhao Danshi hugged Doudou back, "Your elder brother Yunyue is fine, come on, get ready to go to bed."

Seeing that Luo Haoran had already helped him up, he looked away, and was slightly relieved to be carried by his father to wash.

Luo Haoran and Yao Jingming helped Lan Yunyue and Su Jinshan go back respectively. Peng Yuyun was not very drunk and could barely walk. He walked among them and slowly moved back.

Zhao Fushun was also drunk, and Zhao Mingtai, who was not so drunk, and Liu Erhua, who was not drunk at all, supported each other and dragged him back.

The yard was in a mess, and Zhao Shanshi was too lazy to clean it up, so he simply piled things into the kitchen, cleaned up the garbage, and planned to clean it up tomorrow.
