After crossing over, it's hard

Chapter 11 Catching Worms

After planting the seedlings in the paddy fields, this spring's busy farming season is almost over, and now all that is left is to take good care of the fields, hoping that the harvested grain yield will be good.It's still early April, it just rained before, and it's the season when mushrooms are abundant on the mountain, and the animals on the mountain are also very active, so Li Ran decided to go to the mountain with Ji Nan.

Li Ran put the basket on his back, Ji Nan took his own bow and arrow, and the two entered the mountain.It's almost the end of spring now, and the trees that have been bare all winter have put on new green clothes.The products on the mountain are very rich. Not long after entering the mountain, Li Ran discovered a small mushroom, a pheasant on the mountain?The cries of love came one after another, and they kept coming to my ears. Jin Nan was a veteran hunter, and soon shot two pheasants with one arrow, and the pheasants were still a pair. Jin Nan found them nearby. In the nest, there are six wild eggs lying quietly in it, which are smaller than chicken eggs.

The two of them spent a whole morning on the mountain, and the harvest was very good. Li Ran picked a basket of mushrooms, more than a dozen wild eggs, and later found a nest of wild eggs. What pleased Li Ran the most was that he found They found a small piece of hickory and chestnut groves. These are nutritious nuts. Li Ran decided to pick them all home when they were ripe.And Jinan also hunted a lot of prey, six pheasants, four rabbits, the most surprising thing is that Jinan even hunted a roe deer that has almost grown up, this is a good thing, the key is that this roe deer was shot by Jinan He was hit in the eye, but he is still alive. If he sells it in a restaurant, he will definitely get a good price.

When the two of them came back, Li Ran specially came back from the hill that he was looking at at that time. Li Ran wanted to see if there were any wild fruit trees on the hill.Sure enough, this small bun did not disappoint Li Ran. There was actually a small piece of tea oil tree. The fruit of this tea oil tree can be used to squeeze oil. In the previous life, the price of this tea oil was very high, saying that it was right to eat People's health is good.In addition to tea oil trees, there are also many wild fruit trees on the hill, such as apricot trees, wild pears, and wild jujube trees. On a Xiangyin slope with sparse trees, there is even a small piece of wild grapes crawling on the slope in a disorderly manner. The flowering period has passed, and some of them have produced small fruits.If it is said that the mountain grapes surprised Li Ran, then there are several bayberry trees in this small hill, which makes Li Ran feel horrified. In the climate of Jijia Village, it is impossible to have bayberry trees. He ascribed to this miracle of time and space.And this made Li Ran want to buy this little mountain bag even more.Li Ran's mouth watered at the thought of pickled, sour and sweet plums, and he really wanted to eat them.

Li Ran is eager to buy this small mountain bag right now, but now he has no money. The small mountain bag is about [-] mu. It's about half the price.Li Ran thought that he couldn't afford it now, and when the watermelon was ripe, he bought the watermelon, and then he would have the money to buy the small bag.

From a small hill, at the foot of the mountain, Li Ran found a small piece of earth ginger. This earth ginger is not the same as fresh ginger. Earth ginger is also a kind of ginger, but earth ginger is not used to remove fishy smell. Earth ginger It is also a kind of dish. It is very crispy and delicious when it is fried. Wash it and put some salt into the earthen pot for a while. It is sour, sweet and crispy. Cut it into slices and eat it. It is very delicious with rice. It is a very good dish in winter when there is nothing to eat. In the previous life, Li Ran's grandma made it every day. She kept some of it at home to eat, and sold the rest.Later, Li Ran's grandma passed away, and Li Ran continued his grandma's habit of making them every year, but Li Ran only made some for himself every year, and would never sell them.Li Ran decided that when the ginger in this piece of soil matured, it would be time to dig the ginger in the soil.

When they got home, Ji Nan packed a pheasant and a rabbit at home, Li Ran took a pheasant to Grandma Li's house, and took Xiao Yuan home.Grandma Li looked at the pheasant in Li Ran's hand and declined again, but Li Ran put down the pheasant, took Xiao Yuan by the hand and went back.And said to Grandma Li: "Ji Nan has shot a lot today, so I'll come here and give you one for you to try."

Li Ran also thought about giving one to Zhang Guihua's family, but there is a good saying, if you get used to giving away unconditionally, people will take it for granted that you don't give it away. You're wrong, Li Ran doesn't want to get that far with Zhang Guihua.As for sending things to Grandma Li's house, firstly, he helped take care of Xiaoyuan, Li Ran thanked them, and secondly, the life of Grandma Li's family is really tense, you can see Gousheng and his brother are sallow and emaciated .Li Ran is still very happy to help as much as he can.

At noon, Li Ran made stewed pheasant with mushrooms. The white, tender and delicious mushrooms and pheasant were full of fragrance and delicious.Half of the rabbit is braised in soy sauce, usually stir-fried. At noon, Jinan and Xiaoyuan eat their stomachs round, and they say it is delicious.Li Ran lived alone in his previous life until his death, but he liked food very much, and he also liked to study food, and he had a very good craftsmanship.

Li Ran put all the unfinished mushrooms out to dry, and dried them into dried mushrooms, which can be eaten later in winter when they are green and yellow. It is also a delicious delicacy.There were still four pheasants and three hares left. Li Ran put them in a cool place and was going to sell them in a restaurant in Pingyang Town tomorrow.The temperature is not very high now, and these things can still be put into tomorrow.

In the afternoon, Aunt Ji came to look for Li Ran. His hen was about to nest. Aunt Ji came to ask Li Ran if he wanted it.Li Ran quickly agreed that the eggs now cost one penny, and Li Ran gave Aunt Ji twenty pennies, asking him to buy twenty eggs for him.Li Ran is backed by mountains and fronted by fields. It is very suitable for free-range chickens. Just build a chicken coop and check if the chickens have returned home every night. It is very easy. Of course, Li Ran wants to raise chickens.Thinking of raising chickens, Li Ran asked Grandma Ji, which one of them had ducks to buy, and he wanted to raise some ducks. Li Ran liked to eat ducks very much, and there happened to be a pond in their house, which was suitable for raising ducks.Grandma Ji told him that there were no ducks in their Jijia Village, but they heard that there were people raising ducks in the village outside the basin, and asked Li Ran to go to Pingyang Town to see if there was any duck for sale.Aunt Ji still had something to do at home, so she went home with Li Ran's consent.Li Ran asked Grandma Ji to take a rabbit home, and Grandma Ji didn't refuse when she heard Li Ran said that she had beaten a lot this time.

Li Ran and his family's car was finished a few days ago, and they took it home.Now that the family has an ox cart, there is no need to hurry to drive the cart. After breakfast the next day, Li Ran and Ji Nan took Xiaoyuan along, and the family of three thought about leaving for Pingyang Town.

This time, Li Ran went to the town not only to sell the prey he hunted yesterday, but also to buy a lot of things. There was not much oil smoke sauce and vinegar at home, so he wanted to buy.There is also the newly purchased wasteland. After thinking for a long time, Li Ran finally decided to plant sugarcane there. Li Ran is going to the town to see if there are any sugarcane seedlings to buy. There are also lotus root seeds, which are lotus seeds. .

When he arrived in the town, Li Ran drove the ox cart directly to the restaurant where Ji Nan used to sell prey. The shopkeeper of this restaurant is Ji Amao's second son, Ji Xi. Ji Xi's married husband was the former shopkeeper of this restaurant. Brother, when the former shopkeeper got older, Ji Xi was asked to take over his class. Of course, it was because of Ji Xi's own ability that he was favored by the owner of the restaurant.

The waiter at the restaurant knew Ji Nan and knew that he was related to the shopkeeper. Moreover, Jinan was an old customer of the restaurant. When he saw Jinan's ox cart, he went to report to the shopkeeper.Ji Xi saw Ji Nan and Li Ran, and took them into the backyard of the restaurant, and Xiao Er helped Ji Nan take the prey.Ji Xi was very happy when he saw Jinan's prey. Now the restaurant is in a period when there are no fresh vegetables, and it is the time when these wild animals are needed. Especially this time, Ji Nan even brought a live roe deer. Very rarely, if a restaurant operates well, it can fetch a very good price and gain a better reputation.

The price Ji Xi gave was very fair. The roe deer bought ten taels of silver. The main reason was that the roe deer was alive. If it was dead, it couldn’t be sold at such a high price. Rabbits were 25 cents each, and pheasants were only 160 cents less. arts.Two rabbits and four pheasants totaled [-] renminbi, plus ten taels of silver, which is considered a small sum of money for a rural family.

Ji Xi looked at Xiao Yuan, and liked it very much. He packed a bag of snacks from the restaurant for Xiao Yuan, and bought some things for Li Ran to bring back to Ji's Village for Ji Ama and the others. Ji Xi settled down in Pingyang Town. , Except for the holidays, I don’t come back many times every year.I often ask the people in Jijia Village to help bring some things to Ji Ama and the others, which is considered a filial piety.

After selling the prey, Li Ran went shopping. I couldn't buy lotus root seeds at the grocery store, but I heard from others that only lotus seeds can be bought at the medicine store.I didn't buy sugarcane seedlings, but Li Ran bought sugarcane from a reselling businessman, and buried them in the sand for a while after returning home, they can germinate, and there are sugarcane seedlings.In the Daqing Kingdom, sugarcane is only grown in the south. In the central region like theirs, there are very few sugarcane growers, and farmers are reluctant to use their land to grow sugarcane. Sugarcane is not food, it can only be regarded as a snack for children.

I bought lotus root and sugarcane seedlings, but they were ducks. After asking all over, no one could find them. In the end, Li Ran had to give up.After returning home, Li Ran sent the things Ji Xi brought to Ama Ji's house first.

In the evening, Li Ran lay on the bed and calculated the money spent from the separation to the present. It was about seventy taels. Li Ran was a little anxious. The money will be spent soon, and Li Ran feels that he should find some income for his family.
