The pastoral life of the grass tribe chief

In the days that followed, Lu Yao treated the water-filled crystal like a thief, fearing that it might suddenly drain the spiritual spring again.

Just in case, he filled a bottle with the spiritual spring water and placed it on the shelf every day, just in case.

The second typhoon is coming.

Apart from the Han River area being significantly affected, other areas in Lingdong remain largely unaffected, with more rainfall and longer duration than during the first typhoon.

The water flow in Shiquangou has increased, but it still does not pose a threat to Wumutang.

On rainy days, everyone stays at home watching TV, scrolling through their phones, and making all sorts of snacks.

Lu Yao drove alone to feed the stone frogs, patrolled the surrounding area, and found no landslides or anything. He then killed a small wild boar by the pond.

After killing the two wild boars, we used the convenience store kitchen to marinate the wild boar meat.

The materials are all available in the space.

Take pork belly and pork hind leg meat.

Make a marinade with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, white wine, star anise, cinnamon, rock sugar, and salt.

The space is a natural drying room, so you don't have to worry about the meat spoiling when it's placed inside. After marinating for three or four days, it can be hung up to air dry.

As for the offal, it is also pickled and stored, and can be eaten as a snack when you have nothing to do.

When I got home, my mother was already cooking.

Lu Yao went to the back of the house and picked more than five catties of lychees. He cleaned three catties of them and put them in the freezer to make lychee jelly.

The remaining two pounds were used to make a simple lychee yogurt jelly.

Remove the outer shell and pit from the lychee, leaving only the flesh. Wash it thoroughly and place it in an ice cube tray.

Cut your favorite fruits into small cubes, put the yogurt and fruit into the lychee flesh, and freeze for at least 3 hours before eating.

When I woke up from my afternoon nap, the rain had lessened.

It looks like the rain will stop this afternoon, and it will clear up again tomorrow.

"We've run out of fertilizer, and we're not using much medicine in the fishponds anymore."

Lu Lide said to his youngest son.

"I'll go buy it."

Lu Yao was about to pick up a package and refuel his car.

I sent Lu Chong a message asking him what he was doing.

"My cousin and I went to visit a friend in the county town in Brother Wu's car. We thought you were busy, so we didn't invite you."

Lu Chong quickly replied with a message.

"You guys go ahead, I'm going to town to pick up the package."

Lu Yao replied with a message and then drove to town.

After picking up the package and filling up the car with gas, I went to check on the renovation progress at the bubble tea shop.

The renovation is nearing completion.

Lu Yao drank tea with his twin brothers and father until after 4 p.m.

The rain stopped and the sun came out.

He went to buy fertilizer and medicine for the fishpond before going home.

The uneven cement road in the village was filled with puddles, and many children were splashing in the water, having a great time.

Lu Yao returned to Wumutang and saw Lin Zai and Lu Changping's children catching fish and shrimp in the Wumutang ditch.

Lu Changping's son stood at a relatively narrow ditch, with a small fishing net in front of him, which blocked the ditch.

His sister and Big White ran a short distance above the ditch, then went down into the ditch and chased away the fish and shrimp as they went.

The big white dogs ran around wildly, splashing water all over people.

The kids immediately retaliated, splashing water at the big white creatures.

A group of cats were also lying by the ditch, watching the fish and shrimp in the water. When they saw the fish and shrimp swimming close by, they suddenly stretched out their sharp claws, as fast as lightning.

When the claws retracted, a fish or shrimp was already hooked on them.

"Uncle Yao, I caught a lot of small fish and shrimp."

Linzi was catching fish in a small puddle with a small dung basket, while a small bucket next to him contained many small fish and shrimp.

He wasn't wearing a sun hat either, and he was soaking wet. When he saw Lu Yao return, he proudly showed off his spoils.

"Old Wu and his family have almost eaten all your fish."

Lu Yao saw the Wu family taking small fish and shrimp from the bucket, flying to the long bean trellis to eat, and then going back to take more small fish and shrimp after they finished eating, so he reminded them.

"Just one."

"You stingy person."

"Drink cold water."

Old Wu started cursing again; it seems he's been corrupted by Big White.

"It's okay, Old Wu and the others can eat whatever they want."

The kids were very generous, which made Lu Yao feel awkward and uncomfortable.

Lu Yao carried his things into the house, washed his hands, and went into the living room. Lu Jiming, Lu Changping, his grandparents, and his parents were drinking tea and chatting. There were many Guiwei lychees on the coffee table.

"We can't even finish eating all the lychees at home, and you bought so many more. You have too much money to spend, so give it to me."

Lu Yao sat down on the chair by the door.

"This year's Guiwei lychee harvest in Echeng is abundant, and the lychee orchards can't sell them all. They're selling for three catties at ten yuan each."

Lu Jiming said.

"The lychees from Guangdong and Guangxi provinces can't be sold, and people in other provinces can't get lychees either. It's really tough for the farmers."

Lu Lide was filled with emotion.

"Now that you're back, why don't you work for me for a few days?"

Lu Yaodao.

"The women in the village are all vying to work for you, aren't you busy enough?"

Lu Jiming assumed that the small shop in Shiquangou was too busy.

"It's a different business."

Lu Yaodao.

"What kind of business?"

Lu Jiming asked curiously.

Lu Changping and the four elders also looked at Lu Yao with curiosity.

"Wait a moment, I'll make you something to try."

Lu Yao took a bunch of lychees to the kitchen and then took a bag of chicken wings from the freezer, marinating them with salt and white wine.

He washed the lychees clean and removed the pulp.

I washed and chopped some ginger and scallions.

Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them well.

Take the rock sugar off the cooking rack and put it in a pot to stir-fry until it turns a caramel color.

Coat chicken wings with egg and dry starch, put them in a pan, pour in concentrated orange juice and stir-fry.

Add ginger, scallions, and other spices, then add water and simmer.

After the broth boils, remove the spices, add the lychee flesh, drizzle with sesame oil, stir-fry, plate, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

A plate of fragrant lychee chicken wings is ready.

Lu Yao then brought out a plate of lychee jelly and lychee yogurt jelly.

"Linzi, come quick, there's something good to eat."

Lu Yao called a group of kids back to eat.

"So icy."

"It's delicious."

"Uncle Yao is the best; everything he makes tastes delicious."

"Exactly, unlike your old man, who only knows how to cook instant noodles."

"Old Ming is lucky."

"Eat slowly, there's more."

The Lu Yao family loves children the most, and the more children come to play, the happier they are.

Many people's homes are quiet and deserted all year round, and even cats and dogs are too lazy to pass by the door.

Lu Yao's family is different. Whenever someone is home, the house is always lively and filled with laughter.

"It's not like I've never eaten these things before, so why is yours so much tastier?"

Lu Changping said.

"Good ingredients plus good cooking skills will naturally result in delicious food."

Lu Jiming is known for his picky eating habits, but every dish Lu Yao makes can conquer his taste buds.

"These are the signature items you gave to your milk tea shop?"

Lu Changping took another bite of the lychee chicken wing, and suddenly his eyes lit up as he thought of something.

"These are just desserts, and there are also various iced drinks. Both desserts and iced drinks rely on this ingredient."

Lu Yao picked up a lychee, shook it, then peeled it and put it in his mouth.

"Is the business you're talking about buying and selling lychees?"

Lu Jiming looked at his childhood friend with surprise and delight.

He discovered that his childhood friend always had strange ideas in his head, many of which could even be described as going against the mainstream.

There are so many lychees in Guangdong and Guangxi that it's impossible to eat them all. Even if you give them away for free, you still can't finish them all. But he insists on buying lychees. If word gets out, people will laugh their heads off.

However, anyone who has tasted these three desserts will not laugh at him; on the contrary, they will be amazed by his skill.

Not to mention anything far away, just look at the lychees from Longchong Town. He only needs to buy them and he can reap amazing profits with minimal cost.
