Go back to the valley to farm

Chapter 181
Chapter 180

Uncle A Chong said: "Don't worry about this, don't think that our Miaojia wooden building doesn't use a single nail, but it's very solid. Many wooden buildings in the village are more than a hundred years old, and the same tight fit!"

A Yin said: "Uncle A Chong, how did you arrange it? Now that it's cold, the work can start below."

Uncle A Chong stomped his feet and said, "Hey! I have to blame your grandfather for this. He said he would take the lead on the mountain, and your father would take the lead on the mountain. But when he slid through the rope, the old man ran away with a squeak!"

Ayin smiled wryly, Grandpa was delighted to see Liexin, and the older he got, the younger he became.

Li Junge said: "It's okay, the next transportation is not ready yet, don't rush to arrange it slowly, let's go to see Mama Ni and Grandma Ou first."

The two bid farewell to Uncle A Chong and walked towards the stockade along the path of the forest farm.

The path in the forest is deep, the birds are chirping, and squirrels are scurrying around in the trees from time to time.

Unlike the densely planted economic forests in general forest farms, the distance between the trees here is very large, and the sunlight can pass through the branches and leaves to shine on the open space in the forest. Various ferns grow in clusters.

Li Junge was very satisfied with seeing it. It seems that the economy under the forest can still be vigorously developed in the future. If he finds time, he must ask Uncle Pharmacist to come and have a look.

Drilling down from the forest farm, it turned out to be a virgin forest, and the scenery changed again, with mountains, vines and wild vines, gurgling streams, and more birds here.

Li Junge at least saw several animal tracks.

Li Junge pointed to a mountain stream and said to A Yin: "Is that the place where we cut Spatholobus last time?"

Ayin was very surprised: "Erpi! You have a good sense of direction in the mountains, don't you?"

When the two came to the side of the road, Li Junge stopped suddenly, sniffled, and said to A Yin, "A Yin, do you smell anything?"

A Yin also sniffled and said, "No, what's the smell?"

Li Junge took a few steps to the grassy slope next to him, pushed aside a piece of green grass, and underneath was a pile of excrement.

Seeing this pair of feces, Li Junge looked serious, and said to A Yin: "Call Grandpa Yu and ask when he will be back?"

A Yin asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Li Junge first took out his mobile phone to take a few photos of the excrement, then found a stick, poked the excrement open, and said, "Look at this feces, it is produced after protein digestion, and there are many hairs in the feces, similar to cattle and sheep. It’s not the same as the poop of an omnivore like a black bear, it’s the poop of a carnivore.”

After speaking, he stood up and said to himself: "Recently, the forest farm is processing wood. It stands to reason that there are often people coming and going in this area. Why is there carnivore droppings?"

A Yin said: "Could it be that the dogs in the village came to pull it?"

Li Junge shook his head and said, "Xiasi dog doesn't know how to eat meat, does it? It looks like wild animals, look at this." He cleaned out some small bones from the feces.

Ayin took out the phone and called Grandpa Yu, who said he would come up right away.

After hanging up the phone, Ayin asked worriedly, "Is there any danger in our village?"

Li Junge chuckled: "No, the worst thing is that a group of red-haired dogs came, but this thing is very smart, it is impossible to attack people near the village, but don't let the chickens and ducks go far, outside the guarding range of Xiasi dogs, most likely I can't go back."

"Also, little boy, don't run around all over the mountain. When Grandpa Yu comes back, let him lead the dogs in the village to chase him away."

After finishing speaking, he put the phone in his pocket and said: "I don't have the ability to recognize feces. That's Uncle Orion's strength. I can tell the difference. I have to show him the pictures when I go back. But you don't have to worry too much about it." I'm worried, I'm just curious. By the way, if it's really a red-haired dog, you can't hit it, and you can't put a trap on it. Tell your grandpa, it's already a second-class national protected animal. Just scare it and run away."

Then he said with a bitter face: "But next year I want to raise muntjac deer on the mountain, it seems really troublesome."

Ayin said: "Isn't that simple? It's not long since you came out of a breeding farm?"

Li Junge said: "How high is the wall? A five-meter wall can't stop them!"

A Yin came up with another idea: "Then get Bai Da and the others to guard them, they won't dare to come, will they?"

Li Junge said: "If there is a group of red-haired dogs, three or five of them can't really do it, and the muntjac deer is too timid, so you don't need to wait for the red-haired dogs to come, those few white-haired dogs can scare them to death! "

After clapping his hands, he said heartlessly, "Forget it, think about it later, it's too early to talk about it now."

Seeing that Ayin was still worried, Li Junge said with a smile: "Don't worry, your grandfather is a professional. How many years has he been squatting in the stockade dealing with wild animals? Have you heard of anything happening in the stockade all these years?"

Ah Yin just laughed, rolled her eyes and said angrily, "It's not you, who made you so nervous with shit!"

Li Junge laughed loudly: "I won't blame you for this! I blame your grandfather for not staying in the village. If he is here, I won't worry about it!"

The two resumed talking and laughing, and walked into the stockade.

It came down from the back mountain, so no one in the village was alarmed. Grandma Ou was very happy when she entered the door: "Oh, my dear granddaughter, why are you here? You came up from the back mountain by zip line? I think that thing looks good." mysterious."

A Yin quickly comforted: "Grandma, the steel cable looks at Xuan, but it is actually quite safe, it can bear a ton of weight!"

Li Junge quickly translated: "One ton is two thousand catties."

Grandma Ou said: "That's good, that's good. By the way, how many days are you staying this time?"

Li Junge and A Yin looked at each other, and A Yin said, "We have to go back quickly after lunch, right, where is Grandma?"

Grandma Ou said: "Didn't you call and say that you want to unify how much rice can be sold in the village this year? Your mother has gone to do it."

Li Junge said: "That's fine, then I'll make lunch, Ayin, you and grandma can chat for a while, I guess Grandpa Yu will come back at noon."

Grandma Ou hurriedly said: "How can I do it, let me do it."

Ayin leaned against Grandma Ou, held Grandma Ou's hand with a smile, and said, "Grandma, let him go."

Grandma Ou wanted to say a few more words, but she turned her head to look at A Yin's appearance, suddenly realized, she stopped talking, and turned her head to look up and down at Li Junge with a smile.

Li Junge pretended to be stupid, it was a little embarrassing, so he hurried to the kitchen.

Checking the refrigerator, he found half of the local chicken. Li Junge was not polite and took it out to defrost.

I went to the kimchi jar again and found a jar of sour bamboo shoots.

Li Junge couldn't help but secretly complacent, I don't believe I can't catch your stomachs.

Thaw the chicken first, chop it into small pieces, wash it with water and put it in a basin.Then put the sliced ​​ginger, garlic, and scallions into the pot, then add star anise, pepper, and cooking wine to taste.

Then boil a pot of hot water.

Take off a strip of bacon hanging from the kitchen stove, put the firewood on it and burn the skin until the pig skin bubbles.

Then scoop out a pot of hot water, scrape and wash the bacon, throw it into the pot and cook it.

Seeing that there were still a lot of cold rice in the kitchen, Li Junge didn't cook any more. He took out an old pumpkin and peeled and sliced ​​it, preparing to make an old pumpkin to control the rice.

He also dug out a bamboo basket from a corner, took out two foot planks, and peeled and sliced ​​them in the same way.

Seeing cabbages, I washed some cabbages.

Finally, I took out a bowl of sour bamboo shoots and picked out a bunch of string beans.

Half an hour later, the bacon was cooked, and Li Junge took the meat out and set it aside to cool.

Then pour oil into the pan.After the oil is cooked, put the kidney beans in several times and fry them. After frying, take them out and put them on a plate for later use.

Then use chopsticks to pick out the marinated chicken, put it into the oil pan and fry until the surface is slightly yellow.

Scoop out most of the oil, leave a little oil at the bottom of the pot, pour in the sour bamboo shoots, stir fry and start the pot.

Put another spoonful of oil into the pot, add the watercress and the seasoning of the marinated chicken one by one, stir-fry until fragrant, add the chicken and stir-fry.

Then add soy sauce, fermented glutinous rice, stir well and add water to cover the chicken.

After the water boils, add some five-spice powder, cover and simmer.

Then cut a small bowl of dried chilies.Added a little oil to the pot on the other side, threw a handful of peanuts into it and fried them into crispy peanuts.

When the water is almost dry, open the lid and pour in the dried chili, fried green beans and sour bamboo shoots, stir fry until the juice is completely collected, add a little salt and start the pot.

Pour the crispy peanuts over the griddle chicken, and sprinkle some coriander and green onion.

Then put oil in one pot to fry the old pumpkin, and put oil in the other pot to fry the scallion.

After frying until half-cooked, add a little water and salt to the old pumpkin, and add a large ladle of water to the side of the scallion to cook the soup.

Stir the old pumpkin evenly, then use a shovel to gently press it a few times, then cover the cold rice on the old pumpkin and compact it, cover the pot, remove the open fire, and simmer with charcoal fire.

Then began to cut the cooled bacon and arranged it in fancy patterns on the plate.

After the bacon is cut, the scallions are cooked soft. Twist the cabbage into sections by hand, add it to the soup and cook until cooked, add salt and take out of the pot.

Uncover the lid of the pumpkin rice cooker, turn it over lightly with a spatula, and see that the old pumpkin at the bottom of the pot has given off a sweet, burnt aroma, so sprinkle chopped green onions and stir the pumpkin rice cooker evenly, and all the meals are ready.

It happened that Grandpa Yu and Mama Ni came back, and when he smelled it, Grandpa Yu said: "The old pumpkin control rice is sweet and fragrant, but I haven't eaten it for a while."

Ni's mother blamed A Yin: "Oh, this dead girl, how can you let the guests cook!"

Li Junge was busy serving dishes on the table, and said with a smile: "A Yin rarely chats with grandma, but I'm so rude, I cooked half of the chicken in the refrigerator!"

Grandpa Yu said: "Hahaha, this is the best way. Don't treat yourself as an outsider in this house. It's a pity that you don't drink alcohol for this dish. Piwa, why don't we drink less? Just don't delay the journey down the mountain!"

Li Junge said quickly: "That's okay, I'll have a drink with grandpa."

Cooked a meal alone at his girlfriend's house, and this Erpi confidently and confidently changed the name of the second elder secretly.

Everyone didn't hear it, so Ayin gave Li Junge a blank look, then pursed his lips and smiled.

Grandpa Yu dug out a bottle of sorghum wine and said, "Since we don't drink much, we will be free."

The Miao family loves sour bamboo shoots. Except for Li Junge's first chopsticks to pick up chicken, the other pairs of chopsticks are all for sour bamboo shoots.
