Chapter 23 Rice Flower Fish
Li Xiang said: "It's 560 per catty, free shipping with SF Express. In our county, the price is usually more than 600 per catty. If you encounter a European guy coming to collect it, it will be more expensive."
After all, black truffles can sell for more than 11,100 kilograms in Europe. Of course, Europeans are more selective, as long as they are in good condition.
The other party was very cheerful. He asked Li Xiang for his bank account number and immediately transferred 8,400 yuan!
Li Xiang: "..."
This is really an encounter with an old man, Haochao!
"Give me the address and I'll ship it today."
Li Xiang is also a cheerful person. After receiving the address, he immediately told his grandma about it and rode a tricycle into the city. In addition to 15 pounds of black truffles, Li Xiang also gave some small mushrooms as a small gift.
Compared with gallinobacteria, egg mushrooms, and bigfoot mushrooms, small mushrooms are cheaper and more abundant, so they are good for topping.
Grandma was very happy when she heard that picking up mushrooms could be sold for so much money. In fact, some people in the village also picked it up, but their senses were not as sharp as Li Xiang's and the harvest was not as great as Li Xiang's.
Unless you take an adult sow into the mountains, but once the pig enters the mountains, its wild nature will be stimulated, and people may not be able to hold it. If it runs away, you will suffer a big loss.
But the piglets are not good. The piglets are not in heat yet and are not sensitive to the smell of P. suis.
After Li Xiang entered the extraordinary world, his vision, hearing, and sense of smell were greatly improved in all aspects. Within ten meters, you can tell if it is there by just smelling it with your nose.
I was a little unfamiliar at first, but then I became more and more experienced and could keenly identify the smell of pig fungi.
In addition, Li Xiang's eyesight is very good, and he also has night vision. He can see clearly in some dark places covered by vegetation. As the fungus grows, it will push out tiny irregular cracks in the soil above.
There was no SF Express in the town, so Li Xiang went to the county seat, got it done on the same day, and took some supplies home.
It’s definitely not cost-effective to come here and go back empty-handed.
He bought beef and pork, and added some spices for marinating the meat. Then he saw a new type of colored steel barn on the market, blue, barrel-shaped, and very beautiful.
This kind of barn has a very hard shell and is layered layer by layer. When assembled, it looks like an oversized gasoline barrel. According to the store, it can be mold-proof, moisture-proof, fresh-keeping, insect-proof, and rodent-proof. There is also a grain opening with a sealed lid at the bottom of the barn.
Li Xiang thought it was pretty good, so he asked about the price. After some bargaining, he spent 550 yuan and bought a three-layered one with a diameter of 90 centimeters and a height of about 1.5 meters, which could hold about 500 kilograms of grain.
Because the late rice harvest is about to begin, he has an old-fashioned granary at home, which he bought when his father was still alive. It is made of cement prefabricated boards, which are also assembled. They can be tightly fitted and are extremely durable. It has not broken yet, but it is relatively bulky. And it is relatively large in size and can hold almost 2,000 kilograms of grain.
But now that grandma is at home alone, she can only plant six or seven percent of the paddy field, and harvest at most 300 kilograms. It is particularly inconvenient to use such a large granary.
The kind of cement prefabricated board granary has no food opening at the bottom. Every time it is opened, the upper prefabricated board needs to be moved away. If there is more food in it, it is okay. If there is less food, you have to jump in.
This three-story color steel drum granary is particularly suitable. In addition, this store also has larger models with four, five, and six floors, and some have larger diameters. You can buy them again if you need them in the future.
After the barns were disassembled, they were stacked together, only about fifty centimeters high, and placed in the carriage of a tricycle. Li Xiang drove them home.
When I got home, my grandma had already cooked the "red-eyed black rabbit". She made three dishes with most of the rabbit, and salted the other half and put it in the refrigerator.
The three dishes are: spicy rabbit head, spicy and sour rabbit dices, and fresh pot rabbit.
Especially the fresh pot rabbit, spicy and fragrant, can be said to be a famous dish in Sichuan cuisine.
People in Sichuan Province eat rabbit in many ways, and every dish is delicious, spicy and addictive. It can be said that it is one of the provinces that is best at eating rabbit meat. According to statistics, people in Sichuan Province eat nearly 300 million rabbits every year, an average of 9 rabbits every second.
There is such a tragic saying in Sichuan Province: Rabbits are so cute, you must eat more of them.
It even spawned a new profession - "Rabbit Master".
There were news reports that a young man born in the 1980s became a professional rabbit taster, chewing more than 2,000 rabbit heads a year, and earning an annual salary of more than 300,000. Eating the food you like and being able to earn so much is a magical profession.
Li Xiang naturally enjoyed this meal very well.
Grandma has bad teeth, so the spicy rabbit head was specially prepared for Li Xiang, and it is also one of Li Xiang's favorite delicacies.
He didn't use chopsticks or spoons, he just started to use his hands to open the rabbit's mouth and start chewing. Don't throw away the mandible. You can use this bone to dig out other meat from the rabbit's head.
It's a bit like eating hairy crabs, using your calves to push out the meat from the thighs.
Before going to bed at night, Li Xiang took a look at the pregnant old civet cat. Its belly was now very big. It was lazily sleeping in the new cat nest built by Li Xiang. When Li Xiang came over, the civet cat opened its eyes. Meowing twice.
"Go to bed early, and don't catch any mice at night, lest they cause fetal irritation." Li Xiang touched the head of the civet cat, not sure whether it understood.
This old cat is considered an advanced maternal age. Li Xiang recalled that he had raised it at home for about eight or nine years, and the life span of a cat is usually 12-15 years. Li Xiang was a little worried that it would not be able to survive.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Li Xiang decided that after the litter gave birth, he would find an opportunity to perform a sterilization operation on the old cat, which would be good for it. Because for middle-aged and elderly female cats between 7 and 11 years old, pregnancy puts a huge burden on themselves and can easily cause miscarriage, stillbirth and dystocia.
After appeasing the old cat, Li Xiang went to the backyard to take a look at the two big yellow dogs. He was not someone who favored one over the other. When he was building the cat's nest, the two dogs were wagging their heads and tails beside them. It was obvious that they also wanted a new nest, so Li Xiang also used bamboo to build a spacious dog shed for them.
Bamboo has been roasted with fire. Firstly, some places need to be shaped by roasting. Secondly, the insect eggs and moisture in the bamboo are removed, and a layer of hard carbonized particles is formed on the surface, which is insect-proof, anti-corrosion, anti-bacterial and durable.
Dogs are used to look after homes and homes, so they are kept outside at night, while cats are used to catch mice, so they are kept inside the house at night.
The old cat is inconvenient to catch mice now, but even if it lies quietly at home, the mice will not dare to cause trouble.
The next day, the wind was sunny and sunny, Li Xiang finished breakfast, carried a bamboo basket and a shovel, and went to see his rice fields under the guidance of his grandma.
Much of the land at home is abandoned. Li Xiang has not been at home for several years and does not know where the rice is planted. Moreover, it would be bad if he made a mistake and cut someone else's land. So grandma took me to identify it.
After walking for about twenty minutes, we came to a paddy field with golden ears of rice.
"Grandma, is this our rice? It's growing really well." The rice ears are full and heavy, bending the rice stalks. The harvest is really about to start, but if we delay it for a few more days, they will all fall over.
"From here to the field ridge over there, the rest does not belong to our family." Grandma pointed to the range.
"Grandma, have you raised rice fish in the rice fields?"
When Li Xiang inspected his "territory", he was surprised to find that he occasionally saw fish as long as a palm, or even thirty or forty centimeters long, swimming in the paddy fields. He couldn't help but be very surprised.
Thank you "Xiao You" for your monthly ticket.
