Love delays my farming

A barbecue can definitely increase the distance between people's hearts. If one meal is not enough, then two!

Everyone enthusiastically cut pork belly, marinated roosters, washed vegetables and peeled potatoes.Even the young master Ji Mengmeng, who was usually low-key and dull, silently massaged the chicken, hoping to roast it with a happier taste.

Even Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu were mobilized, and they were so excited that they were so excited that they were busy helping this group of young people.

"This is the secret barbecue sauce that has been handed down for thousands of years!" Hu Qing bragged to Grandma Chu while mixing a pot of pork belly marinade.

Ji Mengmeng raised his head, and said in an extremely rare way, "Is it the sauce of fans? It's still thousands of years ago. At that time, did you know what is chili and cumin?"

Hu Qing's hands stirring the sauce froze. Although he was a very powerful Nine-Tailed Fox, he really didn't know such things as chili and cumin before.After all, their ancient gods and beasts ate their meat raw, and I haven't seen anyone who even seasoned it to taste it.

Xiao Hua'er lay at the feet of Grandma Chu who was grinning from ear to ear, and hummed mockingly.

Hu Qing looked over coldly, and said: "Let's add another roast suckling pig tonight. This dried pig doesn't grow meat on food, and it doesn't make sense to live."

Grandma Chu laughed and said, "I won't give it to you, the little flower is so cute." As she spoke, she rubbed the back of her hand against Xiaohua's ears twice, she really liked it.

Xiaohua lifted her pink nose proudly, her whole body was filled with the light of being pampered.

Hu Qing: ...

You pig, do foxes have no human rights? ?

For this barbecue, Chu Yao made a special trip to the village and went door-to-door to collect a bunch of beer.There is no way, there are fewer and fewer people in this village, there are not many young people, and there is no such thing as a canteen.Every time he needed something, he would make a list for Kang Huiguo and ask him to buy it when he went to town.

The guests and hosts had a great time eating this meal, and they tossed and tossed until after nine o'clock in the evening.The old man couldn't stand it anymore, so he went to bed after washing.Only Chu Yao and Long Jiu were left to clean up the mess.Put the unfinished meat jelly on it, put away the leftover ribs and cook it tomorrow for Xiao Huang Xiao Hei, who works hard to watch the door.The charcoal ash is watered and poured into the sewer after making sure there are no sparks. It will be flushed directly to the digester tomorrow.Those freshly cut bamboo sticks for barbecue are also washed and dried, so that they can be used again next time, and the burnt ones are kept for lighting the fire.

By the time everything was packed and washed and lying on the bed, the hour hand was almost at ten.Chu Yao yawned, made a record of what he had to do tomorrow, and then rolled onto the bed with his arms around Big Fatty and Little Fatty.As for Xiaobai, he has already given gifts to please Long Xiaojiu.

In the dead of night, suddenly circles of ripples appeared in the pool.

Suddenly, a claw plunged into the pool, and a big catfish that was as black as a meter long was fished out from it!

"Ran Yi??" Hu Qing stared at the fish, tears dripping from the corner of his mouth when he met an old friend.

Ran Yiyu was so frightened that his tail shook wildly, "Mouth, there are fish under his mouth!! There are not many Ran Yi in this world!"

"It doesn't matter if there are few or none." Hu Qing said a series of tongue twisters, and began to think about how to eat such a big fish.It's just that before the fish was dragged ashore, there was a cold breath behind him.

"I was just joking with him." Hu Qing loosened his paws, and the giant fox shrunk down into a human shape, "Oh Lord Jiu, don't take it seriously."

Long Jiu glanced at the rescued Ran Yiyu, and said in a deep voice, "What else is there in this water besides Ran Yi?"

Ran Yi tremblingly said: "Also, there are crayfish, catfish, crucian carp, and snails... I, I can just eat snails and aquatic plants."

"Don't come out if you have nothing to do, be careful if you are really caught." If such a big fish is seen, it is absolutely impossible to let it go.Long Jiu felt that Chu Yao was no longer the Jianmu who only knew how to drink wind and dew back then. He could eat anything, especially meat!If he sees such a big catfish, he will never let it go.After all, he has talked about catfish hot pot many times.

Ran Yiyu thanked him again, and swam to the corner with a flick of his tail, only daring to poke a little head out, quietly breathing the aura in the air.

"There are more and more old guys on the island..." Hu Qing licked his fingertips with a very relaxed expression, and whistled at Long Jiu, "You still talk about me, your tail is dragging enough long."

Just behind Long Jiu, a huge tail snaked and disappeared in the darkness. He is standing here now, and it is estimated that the tip of the tail is still on the bed in the room.

Long Jiu hummed and said: "It's just a shadow, it can't transform into a real body. They can't see it."

Hu Qing sighed and said: "I can only conjure up shadows, and the mountain ghost is better. He is originally a mountain god, and he comes here like a fish in water." In the meantime, some of them are used by themselves, and some of them are fed back to this island, and cooperate with Jianmu to increase the activity of the aura here.

He was also the only one in the first batch of five who didn't need to fight for the spots, and was even directly asked to come here by someone.

It's a pity that there are fewer and fewer serious mountain ghosts, and there are still many mixed blood.Ever since the human race made their kind as mountain gods, the mountain ghosts have been hiding in the deep mountains and rarely appeared.

Because of drinking, Chu Yao fell asleep until eight o'clock in the morning, and just woke up when he heard voices in the yard.After opening the curtains, I realized that Village Chief Kang and Uncle An had already arrived.

Uncle An and Village Chief Kang are using a small tin bucket to make a small clay stove for Grandpa Chu.The tin bucket is the biscuit bucket brought by Long Jiu before. One foot high and one brought two buckets. They have already killed a lot of biscuits as breakfast. This bucket has been kept because it is big and strong. It is said that it will hold quail in the future. For eggs.

"Morning, Uncle Kang, Uncle An." Chu Yao greeted, washed up and went downstairs quickly.

Village Chief Kang was smiling with his hands full of mud, and said, "It's not busy, you can go have breakfast first. We'll fix the stove first."

Chu Yao went to the kitchen to fill a large bowl of soy milk, grabbed a burrito, and asked while eating, "Why do you want to make a stove?"

Grandpa Chu said: "Hey, I'm just here. Didn't I want to boil water to make tea? Your Uncle Kang said that you should not burn firewood on a hot day. It's just right to make a small stove with briquettes and charcoal to boil water and make tea. I'll dig it out This barrel is said to be usable, haha."

Chu Yao looked at it for a while, felt the surroundings were deserted, and asked again: "Grandpa, where are they?"

Grandpa Chu said: "You know how to sleep. Xiaojiu and those children over there have already woken up. I said that there was a heavy rain a few days ago, and they all went to pick up stones. I want to pave the roads that have been opened with stones. If it rains, I can walk."

"Is there a heavy rain??" Chu Yao hurriedly finished his food, "I have to strengthen the bird cage. By the way, Uncle Kang, do you want to put water on that rice field?"

Village Chief Kang rubbed the mud off his hands and said, "Your rice field is high, so you're not afraid of trouble. It's just that it's better not to rain after this rain, or the wheat will suffer."

The wheat harvest in the village was finished in June. It was the winter wheat they planted.Chu Yao planted an acre of spring wheat on a whim, and it grew quite well.But when this thing matured, it was just in time for the rainy season, but fortunately, it was only one acre, and a few young men finished harvesting it in half a day, so just find time to dry it.

"You don't have a grain-drying field here. You have to go to the village to dry the millet and wheat later. Or clean up the big terrace of each building, and there are not many things that can be dried." Uncle An pointed out: "You have to find a place later. Make a sun-drying field on a high-lying place, or if there are too many fields in the future, it will be suffocated if there is no way to dry it out in time."

Uncle Kang sighed: "Who used to have several grain drying farms in the village? Now that there are few people and less land, there is only one big one left in the village, and the others are all ruined. They are all good things. If no one uses them, they will go bad. Pity."

The sun-drying field is to pick out a flat piece of land and tamp it down layer by layer. Even if it rains, you don’t have to worry about it being washed out, because it will be re-repaired and tamped down every year.However, the unused grain drying field has been washed by rain for a long time, and the originally solid and flat ground has been soaked and rotted, so it cannot be used.

Chu Yao nodded and said: "Let's dry it on the terrace first, if it's not enough. Later, I will also dry the whole grain field, and I can dry some dried vegetables."

Uncle Kang laughed loudly and said, "How much space do you need for dried vegetables? Put a few dustpans on a shelf in your yard, and it will be enough for your family to eat."

Uncle An also laughed, and Grandpa Chu also laughed. The smiling Chu Yao was very embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic, "Where is my grandma?"

Grandpa Chu said: "It's herding sheep and cattle in the back mountain. I said I will do it, but she won't do it. She has to do it by herself. I went to see a round just now. The old lady let go of the cattle and sheep and sat on the cart by herself. Singing and basking in the sun, it's beautiful."

Uncle Kang said again: "Your peaches are about to ripen. I saw a piece of red over there from a long distance away. It seems that the harvest is good. But this stuff is not good for takeaway, and our village can help you later. You have to prepare it in advance." Book a car with Huiguo."

Chu Yao hummed, went to the storage room and brought out a bag of feed, and said, "I'll go to the mountain to feed the birds first, Uncle Kang, you rest first, and we can talk when I come back." He bought these feeds himself A machine for beating feed is made of cornmeal, fish bone meal and wild vegetables, all natural without any additives.After beating, mix it with corn kernels. The group of quail and peacocks on the mountain like to eat it very much.

Uncle Kang took a look and suddenly asked, "Are you not going to continue hatching eggs this year?"

Chu Yao waved his hand and said: "I won't hatch eggs this year. It will be hot this day, and it will be cold when the eggs are laid. It will be a waste of half a year's food. I will hatch early next year if you want quail or something. Come and make an appointment." That's it."

Village Chief Kang said with a smile: "Success, I'm just afraid that you don't understand this. The hatching needs to be done before June, and the chicks don't like to live after June. That's all, go ahead."

The quails, ducks, peacocks and geese on the mountain are almost the same every day. When they shed their fluff and start to grow their feathers, their strength is also great, and they all start to flap their wings and want to fly.If someone else raises them free-range, they have to consider cutting their feathers, but Chu Yao doesn’t plan to do it. This island belongs to him, and it is separated from other villages by cliffs or a large stretch of water. Ducks and geese recognize their homes, and peacocks This thing doesn't fly far, so he doesn't worry about it.

On the way to feed the birds, he took a dip in the stream to cool off the heat, but inadvertently saw snails under the rocks one by one.The snails were really big. He bent down to pick up a few, and all kinds of ways to eat snails, such as fried snails in spicy sauce and fried snails, suddenly appeared in his mind.

Ran Yiyu, who was hiding in the pool, suddenly trembled. He spit out the snail in his mouth and looked at it. He didn't see any problem, so he chewed it up and ate it.Well, it's fat and delicious.

It's his favorite flavor!
