Chapter 144 Plant flowers, plant trees, and start decorating the house
Li Xiang waved to Erhuang and asked him to come to him. He put his hand on Erhuang's dog's head, penetrated his spiritual power, and also checked Erhuang's dog.
"Well, what a good dog. Although the qualifications are a little bit inferior, he is still fast."
Erhuang was encouraged by his master, shaking his head and tail, very happy.
In the middle of the night, Li Xiang asked Gouzi and Fox to try not to make any noise if they had nothing to do, and then went to bed.
In the early morning, when Li Xing got up to let the chickens, ducks and geese go out, he took the goslings out one by one to check, and finally determined which two had extraordinary potential.
A male has a long head and long legs. When it is held upside down in the hand, its head keeps tilting upward, with a "never bow its head" posture. When it is placed on the ground, it runs crookedly. This is just The fifth-level mutated red-crested silver-feathered goose.
The other female is slightly smaller. Her mouth is different from the others. It is black and has some black feathers on her body. She sticks her butt out when she poops, which is quite laborious. This is just a third-level mutant black-beaked black feather. Goose.
Of course, at this moment they are just ordinary goslings, they have not yet mutated, and they are not very conspicuous among the other goslings.
Naturally, Li Xiang took care of these two goslings alone. He took out a bunch of very small first-order berries, with more than ten berries on each bunch, each about the size of a mung bean.
First, catch the male and open its little mouth. The little guy is still resisting and struggling, but it is so small, how can it twist the owner's strong fingers?
The small mouth was easily opened, and it was facing upward.
Li Xiang crushed a small berry that had been prepared, dripped the juice in, and then twisted the residue in. He also scraped the goose's hard beak with his fingers. Don't waste what sticks to the skin.
The goose's eyes lit up immediately, and its expression showed no resistance. When Li Xiang let go, it squeaked, opened and closed its mouth, and ate so deliciously that it seemed to have endless aftertaste.
When Li Xiang left to catch the little goose, the little male goose twisted and followed Li Xiang. The little thing is starting to get clingy now.
Li Xiang caught the goose, followed the same method, and fed the berries. The goose became more docile and did not resist much from the beginning to the end. However, when the elixir entered its throat, the goose's eyes clearly lit up.
"Go and play, there won't be any more today." Naturally, Li Xiang wouldn't encourage them. They are still too young and eating too much is not good for their health.
The life span of geese is actually quite long. If there is no human harm and no infection, they can usually live 25-50 years.
Moreover, the goose's fighting power is very strong. When he grows up, he will become the dominant figure in the village.
There has always been a saying among the people, "I would rather be chased away by dogs than bitten by geese."
As long as the goose bites it, it will not let go. It will even bite the piece of meat and give you a Thomas Spin. In particular, it is good at attacking the opponent's weak points, such as the little penis. The taste is unparalleled. Sour and refreshing.
Some people may say that a goose doesn’t even have teeth, so why does its bite hurt so much? Can it bite you so hard that you can't get away?
That's because their flat beaks are extremely hard. "A duck has a tough mouth" is famous for its reputation. The beak of a goose is tougher than that of a duck.
And it’s not like they have no teeth, they’re just not obvious.
The goose not only has teeth, but also three rows of upper, middle and lower teeth. There are even teeth on its tongue. Some experts pointed out that the giant goose does not have teeth, but a tooth-like beak. This structure actually belongs to an extinct ancient giant bird.
……
In the backyard, rapeseed flowers were fragrant, and on the only branches of the peach tree, more than thirty peach blossoms were blooming extremely coquettishly.
With the warm spring breeze and rain every now and then, the persimmon trees also grow many small green leaves. However, the persimmon trees bloom later, usually from May to June.
Li Xiang and his grandma began to sow vegetables together. Li Xiang also made many small signs and inserted them in the fields to indicate what they were and what they were. Grandma laughed and was stupid because of reading. Who among us rural people would do this?
Li Xiang said: "People who engage in agricultural research will use small signs to mark it. I'm not showing it to you. I'm thinking about it. When the scenic spot is built in the future, if tourists come to visit our yard, it will be easier for them to identify. You We also know that people in the city don’t know the difference between grains and many crops cannot be recognized.”
His backyard is separated from the Holy Land Garden by a wall. In order to facilitate his work, he designed a gate on the wall, which is a round arch like the Su Garden. It has a nice name, "Moon Cave Gate".
This kind of door opening looks like a fifteen-year-old full moon, hence its name.
Yuedong Gate only has a door frame but no door leaves. There is also a horizontal plaque on the upper part. Li Xianghui personally inscribed it. The obverse: "Li Yuan" and the reverse: "Jiyue Qingfeng".
Since this door is not sealed, tourists may enter the backyard of his home through the moon cave door.
Li Xiang welcomes people who have spent money to visit the backyard, and his backyard has a soapstone jungle, a war drum pavilion, a village stage, persimmon trees, and antique buildings (the main house, kitchen and cloister are all ), there are persimmon trees, peach trees, and neat rows of vegetable fields. Next, he will plant many flowers and fruit trees to ensure that flowers bloom all year round, which is absolutely amazing!
Not to mention anything else, just the persimmon tree. In autumn and winter, the tree is full of red persimmons. The background is antique buildings and small mythical beasts with cornices. I don’t know how many people come here to take photos and check in. The photos taken are absolutely beautiful!
If it snows, it will be even more beautiful. Jinzhan hangs jade and bathes in fire in the snow. There were so many vegetables grown at home that it was impossible to eat them all, but because the land had been plowed by Li Xiang and they were so close to the front yard and backyard, grandma thought it would be a pity not to plant them.
No one plowed the land before, and she was too old and frail to keep busy, so she planted less.
Now that grandma has taken Li Xiang's elixir, she is much healthier than in previous years. Li Xiang thinks that ordering a variety of dishes will keep the elderly busy and less boring, which is also good for their health.
If you can't finish it, you can give it to some familiar people in the village, such as the third wife.
The third wife has grown some vegetables herself, but she has fewer varieties by herself. If you come to Li Xiang's house, you can pick some and take them back to try them out.
You can also send some to your sister-in-law. My sister-in-law lives in the city, so shopping for groceries is very expensive.
Then you can chop it into pieces and feed it to chickens, ducks and geese.
Li Xiang originally planned to catch piglets to raise, but the pigs smelled too bad. If the pigs were blown to the next door by the wind, it would affect the image of the scenic spot and affect the interest of tourists.
Think about it, someone is drinking in a Chinese-style tavern, teahouse, or coffee shop, and suddenly a stench wafts over. Isn’t that disgusting?
Chickens, ducks and geese are relatively better.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
As for killing the New Year pigs, there are a lot of wild boars now anyway, so I will go to the mountains to catch a few. He has been eating bacon made from wild boar almost every day these days. It tastes pretty good. Because it has been pickled with many spices, smoked with pine and cypress branches, and dried in the sun for a long time, its fishy smell has been very weak. When cooking, add some chili peppers, onions, ginger, garlic, cooking wine, etc. to enjoy.
Catching wild boars is more difficult for other teams, but for him, it's easy. He saw a news not long ago, saying that a certain place held a tender to capture wild boars, and a company won the bid with a reward of 900,000 for capturing 300 wild boars.
In the end, the company dropped the bid.
The main thing is that the official regulations clearly state that guns cannot be used, drugs cannot be used, crossbows are not allowed... all kinds of things cannot be used, and the people in the company complained, are you asking us to fight hand-to-hand with a wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms?
300 heads, only 900,000 yuan, which is equivalent to only 3,000 yuan per head. Whoever wants to do it can do it.
If someone is casually injured during the arrest, this amount of money will not be enough for medical expenses.
The official of the place where the tender was held called Li Xiang and invited him to arrest him, but Li Xiang declined.
Well, if he had little money before, he would definitely be willing to take this job, but now he is very busy with various things every day, and the distance is too far, so he won't do it.
Li Xiang also learned a lot from growing vegetables with his grandma. Grandma has been doing farm work all her life and has much more experience than him.
Daylilies can actually be planted in spring and autumn. From March to April in spring, the temperature is suitable and the rainfall is sufficient, which is conducive to the growth and development of daylily seedlings. In autumn, it usually takes place between September and October. Most of the day lilies he bought were sprinkled with sulfur powder. Grandma liked to eat day lilies. Li Xiang thought it would be better to grow them at home.
Li Xiang also planted the gourd seeds from before and "spotted" them on the wall facing the holy garden beside the kitchen. When the time comes, many small gourds will grow and hang on the wall, creating a unique landscape.
The gourd must be a climbing vine. When it grows older, Li Xiang will use bamboo to build some elegant frames for it to climb.
In addition, Li Xiang also planted many flowers, including wintersweet, crabapple, hollyhock, rose, cockscomb, hydrangea, magnolia, cherry blossom, and bauhinia.
Aunt Jiang also sent two small Qiuyue pear seedlings and planted them. Aunt Jiang's house has a big pear tree. Li Xiang just came back last year and ate their fruit. This year, a lot of seedlings have appeared. Aunt Jiang came over to visit and saw Li Xiang planting this and that, so she asked him if he wanted it. Of course Li Xiang wanted it. .
Aunt Jiang's Qiuyue pear is crisp, sweet, juicy and melts in your mouth. It is a rare and good variety.
The house had been empty for so long, and people from the construction company came to inspect it. The walls were dry and decoration could begin.
Now it is mainly hard furnishings such as water, electricity, floor heating, ceramic tiles, wooden floors, central air conditioning, toilets, etc., and then some soft furnishings are also starting to be carried out simultaneously. Li Xiang asked three girls, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui, to help choose. layout.
It’s not for nothing to ask them to help and treat them to a feast.
The three girls are also very happy to do this job. They discuss it happily together every day, and they seem to have fewer conflicts.
There are actually a lot of soft furnishings, such as sofas, coffee tables, beds, dining tables, wardrobes, desks, chandeliers, table lamps, wall lamps, spotlights, decorations, ornaments, curtains, refrigerators, TVs, projectors, stereos...all kinds The choices are endless. Li Xiang is a grown man, so it is a bit difficult to do these jobs and he lacks a little patience. However, the three girls have good aesthetics and are definitely better than Li Xiang.
