Yipin Farmer

"I have a solution." Ting Shuang touched the treasure pocket on his body. In addition to food, there was another thing, which was the poisonous mushroom Tianwang Umbrella that he picked up as Ganoderma lucidum last time. He dried it and ground it into powder. There is a deadly toxin, but if the amount is only a little, it will not kill people, it can only paralyze the nerves and make people unconscious.

Ting Shuang put the leftover pickled cabbage on a handful of fresh bean leaves, poured water on it, and sprinkled a little bit of colorless and odorless poisonous powder.According to Zhang Daquan, all animals that eat grass like to eat salt.

The deer smelled the salt, jumped over, looked around vigilantly, and then began to chew.

Ting Shuang lay on the ground, not daring to move, nervously staring at the prey in front of her, wondering if this method would work.

After the fawn finished eating, it happily swung its hoofs and left.

"Let's shoot it." Baoqi raised her bow and arrow again.

"Wait a little longer." Ting Shuang was still a little reluctant.The little deer seemed to know the danger, and looked towards their hiding place, but his legs gave way and he fell to the ground.

Ting Shuang rushed over excitedly, tied the deer's hooves with grass, and carried the deer home with Bao Qi one after the other.

Seeing the prey pounced, Xixi and Chengcheng asked him to kick it aside one by one, and put the deer in the west wing.

In addition to the main wing room where the people live, the old house of the Meng family only has a pigsty and a chicken coop. The family’s cattle and sheep are temporarily raised in the wing room. Xiaodouzi, mother and son live in the northernmost room, and the remaining two rooms are housed. Cattle and sheep.Ting Shuang intends to keep the fawn and the docile ewe together.

First, I took a broken pot from the kitchen, filled it with some soybean paste dried in the summer, and put it in front of the deer. The deer smelled the fragrance and licked it carefully. Shuang took the opportunity to establish a relationship with it and scratched its fur.

When the family saw this beautiful little creature, they all surrounded and stroked its fur.

The more Ting Shuang watched it, the more she liked it. In her previous life, she watched it from a distance in the zoo. How could she go up to touch and scratch it like this and feed it with her own hands.

"It's so beautiful, so cute. I decided to name it Huamanlou."

As soon as the words fell, the foreheads of the onlookers seemed to drop black lines.

"The name is really weird." Baoqi objected first, and then suggested improvements, "Call it Huahua."

Ting Shuang immediately listened to advice and accepted opinions.

Xiaodouzi said: "Deer like to move. If you keep it in the house, it will lose weight."

"That's right." Ting Shuang began to look for a place to raise deer. It's best for the deer to grow in the wild to grow healthy, and it's not good to keep it tethered all the time.

The place to raise deer doesn't need to be very big, about [-] square meters is enough.Aquatic plants should be abundant and close to home for easy care. After searching around, I decided to build a large fence next to my yard as a new home for the deer.

The land in the village is open, as long as it does not occupy the road and is not someone else's land, it can be used.In the area of ​​his house, there is a small hill behind the yard, surrounded by a small stream, like a small island, where only the Meng family and the Zhou family live. Wooden piles, because they are close to your own yard, only need to pile three sides.I also cut off some easy-to-plant branches and inserted them in. If they can survive the cold winter, they may germinate and grow into trees next spring. If they don’t grow, they have to make stakes.

As for the aquatic plants, there is no need to worry about it. This land has raised seedlings before, and a ditch was drawn from the pond to draw the water from the pond. Later, it was left alone, and now it is full of grass.

It’s okay to take the fawn to the temporary deer pen during the day, and then bring it back home at night and lock it with the ewe.

The next day, I unexpectedly found another deer in the deer pen. It was very big and licked the deer affectionately. It seemed to be the mother of the deer, who had lost her child and came here.

Surprised and delighted, Ting Shuang immediately expressed her warm welcome with actions, took out delicious soybean paste for mother deer to eat, and even scratched its fur, and named it "Big Flower". From two flowers and three flowers to hundreds of flowers and thousands of flowers, Ting Shuang was happy to see his nose but not his eyes.Mother Lu couldn't bear the little deer, so she had to live in his house.

The whole family was very happy to get two deer at once. Ting Shuang was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She dug a few pits in the ground, camouflaged them, put bean pods and grass, sprinkled salt, Set up traps in other places, and then wait for the sika deer who steal the crops to come.

It's a pity that after a few days, I didn't see a sika deer, couldn't catch a wild boar, didn't catch a cunning fox, and didn't catch a pheasant, only two silly rabbits were caught.

Ting Shuang didn't know how to clean it, fearing that it would damage the fur, she took the hare to Zhang Daquan's house and asked him to clean it up.

"Wild rabbits have a grassy smell, so they won't taste good. I'll fry a plate for you, and you can eat it at night. I'll tan the fur for you. In winter, you can wear a rabbit fur hat, which is very warm." Zhang Daquan said.

"Okay." Ting Shuang happily agreed.Come by before dinner time to see how he does it.

I saw Zhang Daquan wash and cut the rabbit into pieces, put oil in the pot, the oil should be hot, stir-fry the onion, ginger, chili and pepper to get the aroma, then add the rabbit pieces, add rice wine and soy sauce to cook until cooked, and add a A small bowl of chanterelle oil that has been smelted before, and it is reluctant to eat, is fried with shallots on high heat before it comes out of the pan. Because the hare has a strong fishy smell and less water, heavy ingredients are used.

The rabbit was finished, it was bright red, and the two of them went to the kang to drink two cups, and Ting Shuang put a piece in his mouth. It was so fragrant and spicy that people could swallow their tongues.It seems that there are also gourmets in the countryside. Ting Shuang ate happily and kept chopsticks.

The two chatted while drinking, and Ting Shuang said that only two rabbits were caught in the trap under the dug hole, and there was not a single pheasant that he wanted to catch most, which was really depressing.I only saw beautiful pheasants on TV before, and I always wanted to raise one, but I couldn’t see any live ones, and a beautiful specimen cost thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.

Zhang Daquan smiled: "Now the pheasant is not caught, and when there is nothing to eat in winter, the pheasant will go down the mountain to look for food."

Zhang Daquan told him about hunting. At the end of autumn and early winter, the grass withered and its leaves turned yellow, and the wild animals had no place to hide and were easily exposed.And at this time, the hair is rich and the meat is fat, and it is a good time to hunt. Bring hunting dogs and startle the pheasants hidden in the bushes, and people can shoot the chickens down. The rabbit in the grass, at this time, the hawk quickly let go of the holster in his hand, allowing the hawk to take off.

It is most honorable for hunters to hunt tigers and bears. Of course, such cases are rare, and more often they hunt wolves, foxes, roe deer, badgers, pheasants and hares.The rabbits and badgers after autumn are fat and big, not to mention delicious.

Ting Shuang salivated after hearing this, wishing to go hunting right away, it was fun and delicious, how beautiful it was.

Zhang Daquan laughed: "Do you think hunting is fun, kid? It's hard work, and you'll know when the time comes."

Ting Shuang naturally didn't believe it. She was ambitious and wanted to show her hand. She was going to go back and practice her archery well, so that she could at least hit something that moved.

After eating and drinking enough to go home under the moonlight, Tinghui and Baoqi were not happy: "You eat delicious food and drink spicy food outside, and you don't even mention bringing us some."

Ting Shuang chuckled, and took out a rabbit from behind, Zhang Daquan had already washed and stripped it for him.

"Look, what is this, I'll get it for you tomorrow."

Tingshuang makes roasted rabbits. The method is simple. Cut the rabbit into pieces, mix the seasoning, mix salt, soy sauce, chopped green onion, garlic, and ginger with juice, add pepper star anise powder, make a paste, and marinate the rabbit pieces.Then find a broken pottery pot, put charcoal on it, put a few iron brazes on it, put the marinated rabbit pieces on it and slowly toast, while toasting, use a brush to dip the juice mixed with soy sauce and chili oil, the meat is thick The place made several cuts with a knife to allow the smell to permeate completely. The red and shiny rabbit was steaming hot, and the aroma came straight to the nose.Several people gathered around the rabbit pot, swallowing their saliva.

When it was almost ripe, a guest came to the house, and it was Xiaoye.

Ting Shuang greeted with a smile: "You belong to the dog, don't you know that there is delicious food here, so you came in after smelling it."

Xiaoye chuckled: "I'm really lucky."

Six big men, plus the boy Xiaodouzi, and the woman Lisao, there are a total of eight people. One rabbit is obviously not enough, and soon the bones of the whole place are eaten deliciously. The more I eat, the more hungry I want to eat. What more.Ting Hui smacked his lips, looked left and right to find something to bake, so he baked a few more buns, and soon, the burnt buns were also swept away.

After finishing the meal, Xiaoye explained the purpose of his visit, to the effect that he wanted to quit his job in the city and farm in the countryside.Because when I planted rice here a few months ago, I strongly felt the simplicity and enthusiasm of the villagers, and fell in love with this land.

Ting Shuang is overjoyed, he still wants to continue to open up wasteland, raising deer, rabbits and pheasants, but he is worried about the lack of manpower. Now it is great to have this expert farmer to help. Sure enough, the character of the protagonist who travels through is very good, and he even spreads his talents in farming. With the aura of domineering, there are still people who are willing to be younger brothers.Immediately expressed willingness to share with him the future harvest.

People in the village knew that Xiaoye was willing to come here to settle down, and they were also very happy, so they brought food to visit.

Ting Ke came back from the city to help with the autumn harvest, and revealed the real reason why Xiao Ye quit her job to farm.

It turned out that he fell in love with a female worker in the weaving house. After saving money, she bought a bracelet as a gift and summoned up the courage to propose marriage. People are rude, talking to him, he actually fell asleep.

Xiaoye was ridiculed for having small eyes when he hit a wall, and couldn't bear face. Remembering that Tingshuang had treated him very well when he was growing rice, he planned to hide in the countryside for a while to comfort his wounded heart.

Ting Shuang already regarded him as his own family. He heard that he was laughed at for his small eyes, so he was very unconvinced and complained: "What's the use of having big eyes? Can you pick gold or silver? When the wind blows It’s also easy for bugs to get in.”

Then he shouted at those guys who were laughing up and down on the kang: "What are you laughing at? Have you picked up money with big eyes?"

He comforted Xiaoye again: "Don't bother with her, she thinks you don't have any property, so she made excuses to refuse, but in fact, your eyes are very sharp. Don't worry, follow me, and I promise to let you buy land and cows and marry a good wife within three years."

"Yes." Xiaoye agreed depressedly.

Seeing that he was bored, Ting Shuang took him for a walk on the open rice fields.

The rice planted at the beginning lived up to expectations, with tall stems and long ears, and full rice grains. For those who sweated on this land, this autumn is golden.

Ting Shuang looked at the crops she had planted by herself, as if she was looking at her own growing baby, and said with joy, "The harvest of rice is higher than that of other crops. I guess it can be four to five hundred catties per mu, right?"

But Xiaoye shook her head: "Don't be too happy, the food that hasn't been received in the warehouse is still not yours."

This kind of thing happened before. Farmers sharpened their sickles to prepare for autumn harvest, but it rained continuously for ten days and a half months, and the rice sprouted directly on the stalks. Therefore, the farmers said: the grain is not put into the warehouse, it is not their own grain.In order to rush to harvest and plant, everyone is working desperately this season.

The autumn that the farmers are most looking forward to has arrived. Looking around, the mountains and plains are golden. Men, women and children go to battle together, rushing to harvest and plant like a war, and they are so busy that they hit the back of their heads.

Digging sweet potatoes and transporting sweet potatoes is all heavy work.The older children helped to carry them, while the younger children loaded the baskets, and their clothes were wet with sweat. At night, the autumn wind hit and it was bitterly cold.

Some of the sweet potatoes are stored in the cellar, and most of them must be sliced ​​and dried immediately. This is the girl's job. A large pile of sweet potatoes is sliced ​​into slices, and then arranged in slices. It takes midnight to dry.

In addition to digging sweet potatoes, there is also breaking corn. The corn stick draws a beautiful arc and flies to the pile of corn. After a while, the pile is as high as a hill. The old cow who is usually slow is more cheerful than usual. Pulling a cart of grain home with four hoofs, the old man driving the car had a smile on his face, and the women hung the grain on the eaves like strings of gold pendants, some of which were rubbed out immediately.

Three springs are not as busy as autumn. This is the busiest time. There is a farmer's proverb that says, "Summer is busy for half a month, and autumn is busy for forty days. Embroidery girls also have to leave the boudoir."

This is also the happiest time. People have smiles on their faces. As the saying goes, "There is food in the stockpile, so don't panic." Being able to eat a full stomach is the expectation of farmers.

Baoqi can't do anything, and can't bear hardships, so she just leads the ewes for a walk on the grass.The villagers looked at him very strangely, Baoqi also had good eyesight, and soon realized that in this busy farming season, he was really too leisurely, completely incompatible with this busy and lively scene, and there was no time for other people who were so busy He, he also felt that he couldn't do this, but he didn't know how to do anything else, so he had to be like those children, carrying a basket and following the autumn harvesters to pick rice ears.

Ting Shuang looked at him and smiled, stretched her waist, winked at Ting Hui who was beside her, and sang, "Who is harming the crops?"

Ting Hui said tacitly: "Xiaobao."

"Why didn't you catch him?"

"Boom."

"Because he's got four legs, he can grab and bang."

It took Baoqi a long time to react, and angrily smashed him with the dirt on the ground, and bursts of laughter came from the field.

For the autumn harvest, the Meng family also hired a few part-time workers. Mrs. Li was in charge of cooking and delivering the meals. Xiaoye harvested rice quickly and well. I was responsible for the special transportation, picked up a bundle with one hand, and put it on the bullock cart. Everyone was surprised when they saw it. I didn't expect this guy to have quite a strong arm.

Ting Shuang said: "Little Treasure is amazing. He shoots incense with a bow of eight powers. He is very strong. If you have heavy work, just use him."

Baoqi listened to the first half of the sentence and it was useful, but the second half of the sentence gave him the urge to beat someone up.
