The closer we get to the new year, the faster time flies.
The day of work suspension finally arrived on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month.
Chen Ling's deer farm is initially completed.
After having a meal of Chen Ling’s pork head and pork ribs pot, the villagers happily dispersed and returned to the village to prepare for the New Year.
There was nothing going on at the construction site, so the father-in-law and mother-in-law were sent back.
Chen Ling rarely had time to prepare for the New Year's Eve.
They have already prepared New Year’s goods, but what’s missing now is the traditional food.
For example, rice cakes.
Even if Chen Ling has eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas.
In this season, I still can’t help but drool when I think of the sweet and glutinous taste.
Make rice cakes, white rice cakes with glutinous rice and yellow rice cakes with millet noodles.
They are all delicious.
In addition to this, we also need to make potato starch quickly.
There are machines for making potato flour in both the county and the township.
Those who play cotton and grind rice and flour are the busiest at the end of the year.
Chen Ling came to the southern suburbs of the county early in the morning on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month to queue up.
This machine for making sweet potato flour is on the riverside near the sand quarry.
People use back bamboo baskets, snakeskin bags, bamboo baskets and other tools to thin the sweet potatoes.
Then filter with gauze to precipitate into powder, and the vermicelli stewed meat will leak out.
There are also some talented people who steam and mash sweet potatoes that are not in good condition, put them into gauze bags, and squeeze out the water inside.
Add the malt and saccharify it for three hours, then filter it into a pot and cook while stirring until it becomes a brown syrup, which can be eaten and played with.
......
"Aling, do you know what I dreamed about last night?"
When Chen Ling went home to make lunch after making potato starch, Wang Susu He said with a smile while holding two babies in his arms and basking in the sun in front of the kitchen door.
“What dream?”
Chen Ling turned around and said, "The dream you had this night was not told in the morning, but told at noon."
"I didn't think of it in the morning. I only remembered it when I saw the small vegetable garden in the backyard."< br>
Wang Susu said.
“Oh, did you dream about growing vegetables?”
“No, it’s not about growing vegetables, it’s about growing flowers.”
When Wang Susu said this, she was very excited: "I dreamed about our back mountain. The flowers all over the hillside are so beautiful."
Women always like these things.
“I was thinking that we won’t raise chickens and ducks here in the future. Even if we do, there won’t be as many as before. Can we really grow more chickens and ducks around us like in the dream? Beautiful flowers and plants.”
“Okay, I’m thinking about clearing out the fruit trees next year.”
Chen Ling nodded.
"Ah? The fruit trees have been cleared? No more planting?"
Wang Susu was really surprised now.
She had been busy for so long, and now she stopped planting all of a sudden, and she was a little reluctant to let go.
“It’s not that we don’t plant anymore, we just cleared some of them and transplanted them to the slope. Aren’t Uncle Zhao and the others also planting trees on the slope? After planting on the slope, we will also plant them on the deer farm.< br>
Anyway, these fruit trees will not be wasted.”
Chen Ling said: "We will renovate our orchard here. Only a few fruit trees will be left. The miscellaneous trees and bamboo bushes around the wall will be left depending on the situation.
Others will not be needed.
Too many fruit trees are too troublesome, and they mainly attract all kinds of insects.
Now we no longer rely on fruit trees to support our families. The previous idea was too simple, and now we should throw them away.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good if the two little ones grow up and run around outside with Ruirui, and there will be bugs everywhere.”
"What you said makes sense. If we don't plant trees, will we plant flowers later?"
Wang Susu asked quickly.
She likes to play with flowers and plants. When she lived in the village, she planted a lot of them.
When I got here, I couldn’t take care of the baby anymore. "Okay, you can plant whatever you want."
Chen Ling smiled. His wife likes flowers, so it would be good for him to tinker with some ever-blooming flowers.
The flowers all over the mountains and plains bloom in different seasons, which is definitely a beautiful sight.
In fact, fruit trees are also very beautiful when they bloom in spring.
It just can’t be open all the time.
I only watch it once a year.
While the young couple chatted, Chen Ling prepared lunch.
White rice and fried meat with mushrooms are delicious.
Before eating, the bobcat drove into the yard on a motorcycle.
There is also a bamboo cage on the motorcycle.
Inside are two eagles.
After releasing the two eagles, there was another eagle cry in the sky, and the two bald men, who had grown twice in size, circled down.
Following closely behind Er Baldy was a group of wild geese. Each of them folded their wings and landed next to the farm's ditch with a loud clattering sound. They quacked and lowered their heads to drink water.
"What's wrong? Why are these two locked in a cage again?"
Chen Ling asked strangely: "Injured?"
"Nothing, they were killed by the wild geese. They were surrounded by a group of people, and their wings were slightly injured."
The lynx grinned: "These two eagles are good. Although they don't recognize people, they recognize Er Baldy very well. I don't know whether they regard Er Baldy as their mother or not. Be the king of the mountain.
I saw them injured and fell down, and wanted to give them medicine. Not only did they not appreciate it, they even screamed loudly and wanted to peck me.
It was only after Erbaldie screamed that they became honest. "
When he said this, Chen Ling suddenly understood.
" Was he beaten by those wild geese outside? "
"Yes, let me tell you, the wings of the wild geese you raise at home should be clipped again, otherwise the wild geese outside will be abducted by the slightest temptation. ”
The lynx walked to the door of the living room, pulled a maza, and sat in a place warmed by the sun.
"Really? Didn't you say that you and Lao Yu have trained them well? Are you afraid of being seduced?"
After Chen Ling finished three large bowls of rice, he poured hot water on them Add a bowl of hot water to the bowl of leftover rice and drink it to moisten your slightly greasy throat.
This time when their family was playing in the city.
Shanmao and Yu Qian were not idle at home either.
In addition to the daily chores of hunting for puppies with bobcats.
They also encouraged the two bald men who had recovered from their injuries to take a group of geese with wings to test fly in the sky.
The two of them are relatively free.
Plus have patience.
Chen Ling had previously planned to use eagles to herd geese.
Really let them finish it.
It was the group of wild geese outside the village that had not flown away in winter and often harassed them.
It hasn’t been long since the flight, and I’m not satisfied yet.
He was squawking down there, trying to seduce me.
Today, the two bald men couldn't hold it back. They rushed directly into the group of wild geese and beat the group of wild geese.
The two-bald man who has completed his evolution is extremely ferocious.
Like a lightning bomber, it can come and go freely. While it causes damage to the geese, the geese are unable to do anything about it.
But unfortunately, its two younger brothers are not good enough.
Been beaten up.
Er Baldy was dragged down in this way.
If the bobcat hadn't brought a gun and fired a few shots, it scared the wild geese back.
Those two eagles had more than just injured wings.
"Alas, isn't the time still short? If the time is long, it will be like a shepherd dog and a flock of sheep. It was okay at that time, but it's not interesting now. The main reason is that these wild geese are too smart."< br>
The lynx said helplessly: "If it weren't for the good food at your home, they would eat well and drink well, and they wouldn't be hungry or cold. I'm afraid they would have flown away with me without those geese calling, so You still have to find a way." (End of Chapter)
