Chapter 36: In spring, everything revives (please recommend and collect)
The further you go into the mountains, the more lively it becomes.
There are many towering trees growing here. When Zhang An walked to Laoya (wa) Rock, he often saw a yew.
Hey, why haven’t future generations heard of the existence of this thing?
But the quantity was small, just a small piece. Zhang An guessed that the yew trees had been cut down during the boom, so no one had ever heard of them.
This thing seems to have been listed as a national first-level protected plant in recent years, but Zhang An didn’t remember it and would check it out in the county another day.
In later generations, it will be revealed in a few years. A major case of smuggling a large amount of paclitaxel was caught in the neighboring province. It had an extraordinary impact at the time. At the same time, people in the mountains knew that this thing should not be touched, and they would go in if they touched it. Squat for life.
Before this, the people in the mountains had no idea that it was illegal to cut this thing.
Under several big trees, several young saplings have grown.
Zhang An didn't even think about digging up this great god. Although this thing is said to contain anti-cancer substances, it would take many trees to extract just a small amount, so Zhang An doesn't care about touching it. He uses it anyway. Not this thing.
Although Zhang An had no need for them, he still poured some spring water for them to let them grow up well.
Zhang Anna is one of the country’s three best young people, he is goal-oriented, quality and polite.
In other words, Zhang An still hopes that they will grow well and does not want them to disappear on this land.
He picked up a few red bean fruits on the ground, and Zhang An planted them in the space.
Wandering around was boring, so Zhang An went down the mountain. He planned to dig up two tea plants in his own land and plant them in the space.
I didn’t even look for some good tea trees, this is enough.
There is no so-called boss in the village who goes to the mountains to plant tea. The villagers plant some on the sill of the valley. One is to stabilize the soil, and the second is of course every year. You can pick it back, fry it and drink it yourself.
Although tea is also sold on the street, the tea is expensive. The cheap ones on the street have large leaves that are tasteless when brewed.
So it is better to pick and fry it yourself. Wang Fang is the first-hand tea maker at Zhang An’s house.
Now there are rapeseed growing in the Baogu field. Fortunately, Zhang An came in the afternoon, and the dew in the morning could wet his clothes and pants.
It's not bad now, except that there is a layer of golden rapeseed pollen on my body.
The temperature has risen, and the tea trees on the edge of the sill have sprouted many buds.
Zhang An found some small saplings under the tea trees. Instead of digging up the big tea trees, he could just move these small saplings to the space and plant them.
These saplings are the tea fruits produced on the tea trees every year. After falling to the ground, if they touch the soil, they will sprout and grow into small tea saplings.
But most of them cannot grow up because the light is blocked by the big tea tree on the top.
After a while, it’s time to pick tea around the Qingming Festival. The spring tea at this time is the best of the year.
When Zhang An came out of the field, he found many wild onions on a small piece of wasteland, and a piece of young leaves that had just sprouted from the root of a folded ear.
Zhang An was digging with a hoe. Wild onions are called bitter garlic by the locals, and their nickname is Xiebai.
It’s especially delicious when used for stir-frying, and it’s also a good choice for dipping.
There is just one disadvantage. If it is used to fry bacon, it will waste some bacon.
In winter, this stuff is still relatively tender, so you can dig it home and cook it.
I turned over half of the wasteland and dug up a lot of root and bitter garlic.
Back from the fields, Zhang An found that Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang had returned from the street.
"What are you going to do?" Wang Fang asked as he looked at Zhang An holding the hoe.
Zhang An gave Wang Fang a look at the Zheer root and bitter garlic in his hand.
"Go for a walk in the mountains. I dug this over there in Bao Valley. I fried it and ate it at night."
Wang Fang took the thing from Zhang An's hand and tried it. , it must be more than a kilogram.
“It’s so tender. There’s still a piece of bacon in the refrigerator. I cut it up and fried it tonight.”
“It’s time to fry it. The bacon is the most fragrant when fried with root and bitter garlic. It has all the flavors. It's a long way away. By the way, the buds on the tea trees in Bao Valley are quite dense. "Oh, you went there, so you can pinch a lot of tea leaves this year."
Zhang An washed his hands in the ditch and heard a "hum~" sound.
"Mom, did you buy piglets today?"
Zhang An walked to the pen door to see three black little piglets shivering inside, because they were following The big dark horses stay together.
“I bought it today when I saw someone selling it. This year it’s not as expensive as last year, so I bought one more.”
Last year, the two big pigs killed a lot of meat and sold them for a lot of money. .
So Wang Fang is very active in feeding pigs this year. Just a few days after the New Year, she wants to buy piglets and raise them as soon as possible.
After all, if you buy it one day earlier, you can get more meat for one day.
Three pigs must eat a lot of corn if they are in someone else's house. Just feeding the pigs requires cutting a lot of pig vegetables.
But last year at Zhang An's house, Zhang An was always responsible for cutting and feeding pigs. As time went by, Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo didn't care. Anyway, there were piles of grass outside every day.
“Where is my dad? Why didn’t I see him.”
Zhang An came back for a while but didn't see his old man.
"He went to help Mr. Li's house to unload things. When we came back just now, it was Mr. Li who helped carry the pigs back in a carriage." Wang Fang explained to his son.
“Oh, then I’ll go outside and cut some pig vegetables and come back to see if the little pig eats it. If it eats it, I’ll just feed it grass this year like last year.”
When he found the basket and sickle in the main room, he thought at first that his father had gone to cut pigs and vegetables.
After looking for an excuse to go out for half an hour, Zhang An came back with a basket of spiky young grass.
Although the three little pigs are still very small, it is definitely not enough, because not only the three little pigs, but also the big black horse in the pen has to eat.
If you don’t feed it, it will act coquettishly.
After two trips in and out, a lot of crispy and tender pork vegetables were piled on the outer ring.
This is enough for them to eat for several days.
Zhang An still filled the water tank with spring water as usual. The big black horse over there stretched its head and wanted to drink, scaring the three little pigs into a corner.
You can only wait for the big black horse to finish drinking before pouring it for the pig. The little pig and the big black horse are the heroes of the family, and they cannot treat each other the same way.
In the end, Zhang An took the big dark horse away, taught it not to bully the weak, and let the three little pigs drink to their heart's content.
After a while, Zhang Jianguo came back. He originally wanted to cut pigs and vegetables, but he didn't expect that after he came back, his son cut a bunch and left it there, so he was too lazy to go out again.
In the evening, Wang Fang fried Zhang An’s favorite fried bacon with folded ears.
This time I also added bitter garlic, and the aroma was already wafting everywhere before I even tasted it.
“Where did you get the bitter garlic? I haven’t eaten it for a long time.”
Zhang Jianguo picked up a piece of bacon and ate it.
"Xiao An dug it up in the corn field, and the root of the folded ear is also very tender. It just came out these two days and is still very tender." I was watching from the side, drooling.
Finally, Zhang An gave them some and put them in the dog bowl, and they ate them themselves.
In the past, if Zhang An fed meat to dogs, he would definitely be nagging.
But now if Zhang An doesn’t clip it himself, Wang Fang will clip it to the dog.
Their family really likes these three dogs.
Moreover, I don’t know when, after eating, these three brothers actually learned to wash dishes. They would take the initiative to take the bowl into the ditch, wash it with water, and then take it back. I don’t know who taught them. of.
