Chapter 104 This is the best gift for the mountains
Snow chicken tastes really good.
Liang Yuemei has mastered the skill of cooking game meat, which is to add more seasonings to suppress the fishy game meat.
She would have been reluctant to let him go before, but now that Li Long comes back every once in a while, he will bring big bags of seasonings, and he won't listen, so he lets him go.
The result of this is that whether it is wild boar meat, roe deer meat or hare meat, the taste is very good.
Now Liang Yuemei has also listened to Li Long's advice and eats mainly refined grains in her daily life. After all, the two children have to grow up and cannot be at a loss - she still remembers the first time she made handcuffs at home after Li Long brought the frozen mutton back. Li Juan ate the meat like a wolf.
It’s so sad to be a mother.
The world is big and the child is the biggest. Since there is one at home, since my husband agrees and my brother-in-law also suggests it, we should give priority to fine grains so that the child can grow up healthily.
But when steaming steamed buns every day, Liang Yuejuan also steams a few half-mixed corn flour and white flour for her and Li Jianguo to eat.
Li Long couldn't persuade him, so he stopped. He has experienced two lives and knows the common psychology of people nowadays. The land has not been divided yet, and there is not much food. What can be saved is a little.
"Juan, Qiangqiang, these are chicken legs. Eat this, the meat is delicious!" At the dinner table, Li Long gave two chicken legs to each of the two children, then clipped a wing for himself and started to gnaw happily.
Li Jianguo and Liang Yuejuan looked at each other and smiled.
This meal was delicious. After filling a bowl of snow chicken stew soup and drinking it deliciously, Li Long said at the dinner table:
"I have to go to the mountains tomorrow to deliver something there."
< br>"Okay, pay attention to safety on the road." Li Jianguo said, "Don't be brave no matter what happens."
"Hey." Li Long responded and went to the east room. He had just finished eating and couldn't sleep, so he lit the kerosene lamp and read the "The Legend of the Knights of the Tang Dynasty" with the light.
In this new life, there is a serious lack of entertainment life. But now that there is no constant electricity, forget about the TV. Do we need to buy a radio?
It also needs to be equipped with batteries - by the way, do I need to bring two radios to the mountains?
Li Long watched and thought. When he felt sleepy, he got on the kang, pulled back the quilt, blew out the lamp, and went to sleep.
The next day he still got up relatively early, went to the bathroom to relieve his internal stress, and jogged back. He felt that the temperature had risen a lot now, and it was not as cold as before.
It seems that the snow is not far away from melting, and the days of digging holes in the ice to catch fish are almost over.
Going to the West Room, Liang Yuemei was making Bao Gu dough paste. Li Long saw a few pieces inside and asked while washing his face:
"Sister-in-law, what was in that paste?"< br>
“Beets, I cut them Put a few pieces in to make the paste sweeter."
"Okay." Li Long responded, "It looks nutritious." In the back room, Li Jianguo was spreading water and sweeping the floor, while Li Juan was packing her schoolbags on the kang. The iron frog never tires of it.
Li Long thought about it, these days passed so fast, Li Juan was about to start school.
It’s time to announce the school’s enrollment expansion soon, right?
Gu Xiaoxia is also worried. It has been several years since she graduated and she has almost forgotten some of the content. Now even if she asks Gu Boyuan to tutor, she may not be able to understand it.
After Wu Shufen learned about what she was studying during this period, she accidentally revealed it to her mother Wang Yuzhen, and soon the whole village knew about it.
Whenever Gu Xiaoxia goes out now, someone will ask her if she is planning to take the college entrance examination, which makes her very embarrassed. She blames Wu Shufen in her heart and simply doesn't go out. After Wu Shufen found out, she came over and apologized. She also told Gu Xiaoxia to stop being so persistent. What's the use of studying in those textbooks? The team is not used at all when it is time to work.
Gu Xiaoxia was also struggling. Gu Boyuan strengthened her belief in one sentence:
"If this is an opportunity and you give up now and don't seize it, will you regret it for the rest of your life? Not all Everyone is the same as Li Long, wishing you well."
Gu Xiaoxia suddenly understood.
Li Long had breakfast, got dressed, and went out on his bicycle.
Now that the temperature has risen, he no longer needs to wear the uncomfortable leather jacket, just cotton and rubber shoes outside. After entering the mountain, change to a felt tube.
Before leaving the production team, he met Gu Xiaoxia who came out to take out the ashes. Li Long pressed the brake and stopped, put his feet on the ground, and asked with a smile:
"Have you eaten? Uncle Gu Are you okay?”
"My dad is fine. He has eaten." Gu Xiaoxia poured out the ashes, held up the dustpan, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice:
"Li Long, you said... your news, are you sure?" Is it true?”
Li Long didn't know what was going on in the team about Gu Xiaoxia, he just thought she was anxious, so he said:
"Don't worry, in less than half a month - Li Juan and the others will start school soon, and they should start school soon." There was definite news before. Review carefully. Teachers who can pass the junior high school exam will take the junior high school exam. Yes, there are dormitories, it's close to the hometown, and the salary is high - you high school students have a higher salary than junior high school students."
With Li Long's words, Gu Xiaoxia's mood obviously improved. Less - half a month at most. With a specific date, there will be less anxiety.
When Gu Xiaoxia returned home, she was still humming an excerpt from "Mulan" by Brother Liu. Gu Boyuan, who was reading at the table, smiled and asked:
"Why are you in such a good mood?"< br>
"I met Li Long. He said that he would have news in half a month at most. He also said that our high school students' salary is one level higher than that of junior high school students..."
"Then we have to pass the exam. Yes. There’s news, why don’t you go review quickly?” Gu Boyuan urged with a smile.
“Hey, I’m going now.”
Li Long rode his bicycle to the big yard. After putting on his shoes, he wrapped the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle with cloth and tied it to Get on the bike and ride towards the mountains.
While riding, he was thinking that he would have to ask his sister-in-law to make a holster for him when he had time, otherwise it would be inconvenient to keep it wrapped in cloth like this. In future generations, I would just buy a canvas fishing rod bag, but there is none now.
When we arrived at the winter den, the dogs were still barking, but in a welcoming voice. Harimu came out and saw Li Long carrying another large bag of things. He stepped forward to take it and said:
"Li Long, every time you come here to get something, we are embarrassed."
< br>"What's the point of being embarrassed? The things you bring me every time are much more valuable than these."
"I can't let it go." Harimu said with a smile, "Too many."
"If you know someone, give it to them, or give it to other herdsmen, in exchange for sheep, sheep skins, etc. That's fine." Li Long said succinctly, "There are still herdsmen in the deeper mountains, right? It's not convenient for them to use these things, right?"
Li Long's words gave Harimu a new idea.
This way, it seems——that’s okay?
After entering the winter nest, Halimu showed the rubber shoes that Li Long had brought to his family. Sure enough, he was greatly welcomed!
This is good stuff!
Everyone, including the old lady, started to change their shoes to try to see if they fit.
What a joy!
