Chapter 423 is for stocking up
There are also mushrooms here in the bamboo forest. Anyway, as long as she sees them, she won't let them go. After all, she hasn't been here for a long time, so she naturally wants to stock up on as many things as possible.
After the bamboos on Zhou Qizhi's side were divided, the two went back together, because Zhou Qizhi wanted to call Jin Pengyuan and Xia Bin to come over and carry the bamboos together.
He couldn't move all the bamboo by himself.
Xia Chan, on the other hand, took her children around the courtyard to look at the fruit trees. She planted a lot of southern fruits back then, and planted two trees of each type. It didn't seem like much, but the fruit produced was enough for their family to eat.
These fruit trees have been planted for almost five years, and it is already time to bear fruit. However, it is already the end of the year, and many fruits are already out of season.
Now there are only mangoes and durians with fruits hanging on them. Xia Chan put her little son down, then reached out to pick a mango, peeled off the skin, and took a bite. The rich fruity aroma filled her entire mouth, which was better than the mangoes she bought in her space. To be more delicious, the mangoes ripened on the tree have a different taste.
After that, Xia Chan peeled another one for each of the children. Xia Chan didn't pick all of them because she lived nearby. She could just come and pick when she wanted to eat. The ones ripe on the tree were more delicious, so there was no need to pick them back to ripen.
She picked a few yellow ones and planned to take them home for everyone to taste.
Then he started to climb up the durian tree next to him. There were many branches on the durian tree and it was easy to climb. The higher he climbed, the stronger the fragrance became. Xia Chan sniffed greedily.
She quite likes to eat durian, but durian is too expensive, so she is not willing to buy it, so she only buys some to taste it when the price of durian is reduced occasionally.
Now the durians from these two trees belong to her, and she can eat durians regularly.
Xia Chan picked the durians and put them into her basket. Picking durians was troublesome, so since they came up, she would pick a few more, which would save her from climbing trees a few times.
When everyone looked up in the yard, they could see Xia Chan picking durians from the tree. Zhou Qizhi was startled and ran over in a hurry, "Xiao Chan, come down and I'll pick them."
"No need, I've already picked it." Xia Chan slowly climbed down from the tree with a basket on her back. She had to see if everyone could accept the taste of durian. If not, then she would come back and finish picking them all. durian, and then put it into the space.
If everyone also likes to eat, then she can't eat alone.
When Xia Chan was almost close to the ground, Zhou Qizhi quickly took Xia Chan's backpack over, the smell was a bit harsh.
After that, the two of them went back with their three children. Xia Chan put the mangoes on the table and asked everyone to come and eat by themselves. Then she opened a durian that looked the most mature.
As soon as the durian was opened, the rich fragrance wafted out. The durian flesh was very round and full, and it looked very tempting. After Xia Chan took out the durian flesh, she put it on the fruit plate and let everyone eat by themselves.
In the end, no one ate, and only she and Jin Yanyan ate. After Jin Yanyan ate a piece, she still wanted it. Let’s eat it tomorrow, okay? And there are still a lot of them on the tree. Can I pick them for you after we finish eating?”
Jin Yanyan nodded obediently, "Then Yanyan won't eat today, and Yanyan will eat tomorrow."
"You're so good, Yanyan, let's go play with your brother and brother. My aunt is going to plant fruit trees, so that we will have endless fruits to eat in the future." Xia Chan touched Jin Yanyan's head and asked them to play together.
After that, she collected all the mango and durian stones that everyone ate. It costs money to buy fruit saplings in the space, but it doesn’t cost money to cultivate them yourself.
Xia Chan went to find a suitable place outside the yard, planted the seeds, and then transplanted seedlings under the fruit trees. She also planted cherries, longans, lychees... and other fruits that she personally liked to eat. , but it has not come over in the past few years, and the ripe fruits either fall off or are eaten by birds. After falling on the ground for a long time, the pulp rots and the core comes into contact with the soil and takes root, sprouts and grows into fruit seedlings. Some fruit seedlings become larger as they grow older, while some fruit seedlings become smaller.
After Xia Chan dug out the fruit seedlings one by one, she put them together of the same variety, and then went to find a place to plant them elsewhere, because there were already fruit trees planted around the courtyard and there was no place to plant them again.
Xia Chan found an open space, removed the grass there, and then planted fruit trees in rows. Finally, she planted a large area of fruit trees. She didn't expect that so many fruit seedlings had been propagated in the past few years. I just didn't know. What are the results of these self-propagated fruit trees?
They will definitely bear knots. Don’t those persimmon trees and wild fruit trees on the mountain reproduce by themselves in the beginning?
In the first few days after we arrived, we mainly cleaned up the house and the yard. There was nothing much to do after that. We mainly soaked in hot springs to recuperate our bodies, and then picked wild vegetables, wild fruits, and mushrooms.
Xiao Tiantian and Xiao Mimi gathered food for everyone to eat here, while Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi ran around looking for it. The two of them prepared these for the purpose of stocking up.
The two children were placed in the small courtyard with everyone. Now they can eat normally and are easy to take care of. As long as someone watches them.
Running around here and there every day, I am so busy that I don’t feel bored anymore.
The fruit trees that Xia Chan planted before came alive within a few days, grew new leaves, and were growing very well.
On the wedding day of Xia Bin and Xiao Mimi, Xia Chan brought out a goat, and everyone decided to eat roasted whole lamb and drink monkey wine. There was no one here, and there were only eleven of them, old and young, so two people When the auspicious time comes, a simple bow is made, and the wedding ceremony is completed.
Just wait until after the new year and hold a formal banquet in the village.
In the evening, everyone sat together to eat roasted whole lamb and drink the fragrant monkey wine. Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi also went to the place where monkey wine was discovered before, and also discovered new monkey wine, but not much. They drank it today. The monkey wine was discovered last time, but what I told everyone was that they discovered it recently.
Otherwise, everyone will definitely wonder where they put it and kept it for such a long time.
Adults eat roasted lamb in large chunks, but children eat Xia Chan sliced into thin slices.
Because their teeth are now small and the meat is too big, they can’t eat it well.
The mutton they ate only had oil and salt on it and no other seasonings.
Everyone had nothing to do and was not in a hurry. They slowly ate roasted whole lamb, drank monkey wine, and chatted. The atmosphere was very harmonious. We made an appointment to come and stay for a while when we had time.
Xia Chan naturally wanted to come here every year, but this was not realistic because by the time her children started studying, the winter vacation would not be that long and she would not have time to come here.
The holiday is one month in places with short holidays, and two months in places with long holidays. Even if you come, you can only stay for a few days, so it’s better not to come!
After dark, everyone went back to the house. Xia Chan was still sitting in the pavilion, admiring the unique beauty of the night sky. She still didn't know why there was such a place here.
