Zhang An and his father Zhang Jianguo found the remaining materials at home. When they found that they were not enough, they went to the mountain to chop some back.
It took several days to build a large and comfortable deer shed for several deer. After building it, Zhang An took the deer back.
On the contrary, the children in the village knew that Zhang An’s family was raising deer, and they all liked to come and watch.
And there are people who cut grass to feed them. They come to Zhang An's house every day after school.
Whenever it’s dinner time in the evening, as long as the child is not at home, the adults will come to Zhang An’s house to find him.
But this was much better. After knowing that Zhang An's deer would not hurt anyone, the adults didn't care much about them.
At this point, they are much luckier than the children in the town or city.
There is no zoo in the county now, not even in the city.
Those children who want to see other animals can only watch them on TV.
But the children in the village are different. This is a real sika deer in front of them.
After Zhang An’s training, they were willing to let the children touch them as long as they brought grass to feed them.
After all, you are soft-handed when you take advantage of others, and you are short-tongued when you eat others.
Except for the first few days, they were a little acquainted with life, but later on they were not very afraid of people.
The deer shed is somewhat open, so Zhang An is not worried at night. There are two big tigers and a small tiger keeping watch at night. No one can sneak in under their noses, and they are not afraid of predators in the mountains.
After Mr. Zhang went to Zhang An’s house and took a look at a few deer, he became very interested in the pair of fresh antlers that had just grown out of the big flowers on their heads. He visited them several times every day.
Dahua is the name Zhang An gave to the male deer at home. Because it has the largest body and the beautiful patterns on its body, it is very appropriate to call it Dahua.
The others are Erhua, Sanhua and Cuihua, and there is also a little deer calf named Chunhua, because Zhang An guessed from its size that it was born in spring.
In the end, Mr. Zhang stopped hiding it and discussed with Zhang An to cut off the pair of antlers.
Now is the time to cut the antler, but later on, the hardened antlers will be of little use.
Second Master Zhang does not cut deer antlers for money, but is an obsession of Mr. Zhang. Like Zhang An, he has the same hobby of collecting cards and likes to collect medicinal materials.
Zhang An felt that this little guy was quite pitiful.
Finally escaped the pursuit and lived a stable life for a few days.
I didn’t expect to be targeted by my second grandfather now.
Fortunately, cutting off the antlers has no effect on it. It will live at home in the future, and the antlers will be of no use to the big flower. It just doesn’t look good.
As for courtship, please. There are three doe deers in the family now, and he is the only male deer. Zhang An is worried about his kidney deficiency.
I'm afraid I'll have to use deer antlers to replenish its body.
As long as there is a male deer in the house, the second grandfather will not pay attention to it.
However, there was a doe that was already pregnant with a baby, with a big belly, but she didn’t know whether the baby would be a male deer or a female deer.
Because this doe is pregnant with a baby, Zhang An calls it Cuihua instead of Sihua. Those who have made contributions must be specially commended.
Zhang An couldn't stand the enthusiasm of his second grandfather, and finally agreed to cut the deer antler.
Secretary Zhang happily went home to prepare anesthetics and hemostatic drugs.
When it was lunch time, the second grandfather was holding a large bowl of liquid mixed with something unknown.
"Second Grandpa, what is this?" Zhang An smelled it, and there was a strong smell of green grass.
"This is a good thing. It was often used by veterinarians in the past. It does no harm to livestock."
Zhang Erye fed Dahua and then waited quietly in the yard. With.
The child only smelled the strong smell of grass and drank it.
Child, you have been fooled. You can’t drink. There are bad people among the crowd.
But Dahua still drank tons and tons of it.
The family sat in the yard for about ten minutes. Dahua finally couldn't hold on any longer. She became more and more sleepy, and finally lay on the ground motionless.
Slowly lost consciousness.
Guessing that the time has come, the medicine Dahua drank began to take effect.
After Mr. Zhang found a piece of cloth to cover its eyes to prevent some powder from falling into the eyes later, he took out the sharpened handsaw and started cutting the deer antlers.
Obviously, this is definitely not the first time that my second grandfather has done this, and his technique is too skillful.
"Second Grandpa, this is not the first time you have done this, right? The more you look at it, the more you look like a journeyman."
While Zhang An was speaking, a fresh The velvet antlers are cut off right after they come out of the oven.
"Of course it's not the first time. The brigade has also caught deer in the mountains before, and they all asked me to cut the antlers."
While talking to Zhang An, Mr. Zhang used the hemostatic medicine he brought Wrap the freshly cut antlers to stop bleeding.
Then he started to cut the second corner.
Two velvet antlers are quite heavy. I weighed them on a scale and found that they weighed three to four kilograms. They were definitely not too small.
"I'll take it back and cook it first, and then I'll bring it back and put it away for you."
Second Master Zhang said to Zhang An's family.
"Just put it there, Second Grandpa."
"Why put it there with me? It will be easy for people to fight over then, right? I don't need this thing now, you can keep it. Maybe you will need it someday after you get married."
Then Mr. Zhang left with the cut antler.
When Dahua woke up again, she found that the horn on her head was gone, and she called Zhang An twice.
When I wake up after a nap, the corner is gone, and I won’t be able to eat too much next time.
Dahua looked at Zhang An with some resentment, I treat you as a relative and even take you to find ginseng. Is this how you treat me? As soon as I woke up, my horn was gone.
But Dahua seems to be quite used to it. After all, he has lost his horn several times and is not a beginner.
In order to compensate it for losing its treasure, Zhang An poured it a basin of space spring water and let it drink slowly.
"Uncle An, someone called you and asked you to answer the phone."
Zhang An was lying on the recliner when he heard someone calling him.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Xinmin’s son Zhang Baolai calling him.
When Zhang Bao came to ask Zhang An to answer the phone, he also brought a bundle of grass over to feed the big flowers.
It looks like he is going to play with the deer for a while, so Zhang An is not worried about the big flowers getting up and hurting anyone. So I went out and went to the canteen to answer the phone.
"Hello." Zhang An first listened to who called.
This phone is an old landline phone. It does not have the function of displaying the number, and I don’t know who is calling.
"Zhang An, it's me, Chen Ze."
"Oh, it's you, Old Chen, who I thought you were, are you coming over soon?"
Every time before Chen Ze comes, he will call to inform him.
"Yes, I will come over tomorrow. Isn't it tomorrow's Saturday? By the way, I will bring a few friends to your place to play for a day. You have time there."
"Bring Are some friends coming over to play? Are you going to spend the night here? "
Zhang An's house doesn't have many rooms, except for Zhang An's and Zhang An's parents', there are only two rooms left, and they still contain food.
"We are going to have five or six people. Then we will go to the town to find a hotel to spend the night. You don't need to bother. You just have to ask aunt to help prepare lunch and dinner."
Chen Ze knew that Zhang An didn't have any room at home, so he had no idea of troubling Zhang An.
Zhang An agreed when he heard that he didn't have to stay here overnight and was just coming to play for a day.
However, it is also very close to the town. It only takes more than 20 minutes to drive there, so the problem of staying overnight is easy to solve.
"Okay, then I will prepare some food. By the way, your friends don't have any taboos."
"No, just prepare as usual. They are all from our area. Man, don’t worry and prepare. There’s nothing you can’t get used to. By the way, you should have a phone installed in your home. Every time I call you, it’s like a face-to-face interview. You have to wait for a few minutes before you can answer the phone. Anyway, You have the conditions now. It will be easier for me to install a phone at home."
Chen Ze started to complain again. They have talked about this matter several times, and Li Hongbin has also said it, but Zhang An is too lazy. , I have never done it.
"Okay, okay, I'll find time to do it in a few days."
After hanging up the phone, I still paid the phone bill as usual.
"By the way, Xiao An, is Zhang Bao still at your house? As soon as this baby is let out, he is like a horse that has been let loose, and has no desire to come back at all."
Zhang Xinmin did not see his son. Came back and asked.
“At my place, we are playing with the deer at home. These children really like to see deer.”
"That's fine, as long as they don't run around. It's high water season, and I'm afraid they'll play in the water. Fortunately, these deer in your family have fascinated these children, otherwise they would definitely run around."< br>
Zhang An laughed: "It's normal for children to like animals. We used to like them too, but we people in the mountains have at least seen live animals, while those in the city can only watch them on TV. ”
Since Dahua and the others came to the house, the children have gone to Zhang An’s house after school instead of going to the river. This is a good thing for these dolls’ families.
"My opponent, this is a good thing. My Zhang Bao also wrote a diary about playing with deer, and his teacher praised him."
No wonder, Zhang An thought why is this possible? Many people go to watch deer.
However, this is also a benign guidance.
While going back all the way, Zhang An was thinking about what to prepare.
I don’t often have guests at home, so this sudden visit is really a bit unaccustomed to me.
But after thinking for a while, Zhang An was no longer worried. The person who came was Chen Ze’s friend.
As long as you are well prepared to entertain guests, you just need to be courteous in all aspects.
Halfway along the road, Zhang An met Mr. Huang who was coming back from herding cattle in the mountains.
“Oh, Mr. Huang is back from herding cattle. What is he holding in his hand?”
Zhang An looked at Mr. Huang holding his old scalper with one hand. , followed by a little calf.
The other hand was holding something pitch black.
"Haha, I'm lucky today. I set a trap and caught a grouse."
Huang Erye looked beaming with joy. He caught the prey and his whole person was full of joy. .
Zhang An remembered that he was still thinking about what ingredients to prepare, and immediately asked Mr. Huang.
"Second Master, do you plan to eat this grouse at home, or sell it?"
"I want to eat it, but it can be sold for twenty yuan in the town. , I can eat several kilograms of pork, so I’d better sell it, otherwise my second wife will tell me about it every day.”
Huang Erye led the scalper and walked side by side with Zhang An.
"Then why don't you sell it to me? I'll give you thirty yuan. If my friends come to play tomorrow, I'll take it back and let them have a taste."
Zhang An heard the yellow The second master planned to sell it, so he wanted to buy it.
"Then you can just take it. What's the money for it?"
As soon as Mr. Huang heard that Zhang An wanted it, he directly stuffed it into Zhang An's hand. This thing was still alive. of.
He prefers Zhang An as a junior, and he also wants to build a good relationship with Zhang An's family. If the family encounters any emergency in the future, he will have to ask Zhang An for help.
"Hey, Second Master, I don't like this. I can't take advantage of you. I won't take the money if you don't accept it."
It's not easy for the old people in the village to get some money. What should be given must be given.
Zhang An took out thirty yuan and handed it to Mr. Huang.
Unable to bear Zhang An's politeness, Mr. Huang took out twenty yuan.
"That's enough. I'm not an outsider. Don't be polite to your second master."
And no matter what Zhang An said, Mr. Huang wouldn't accept it anyway.
Forget it, when the elderly need help in the future, run more diligently by yourself.
This chicken is not small, weighing four or five pounds. It would be quite tiring for Mr. Huang to carry it down the mountain.
Since it is alive, it wants to be locked up in space.
Zhang An plans to get up tomorrow morning and go to the mountains to buy goods. If he is lucky enough to find a female, he will feed it.
The silver chicken last time could be said to be very lucky. When Zhang Tie caught it, it was even fertilized, so it laid eggs and hatched them in the space, and a group of silver chickens came out.
Although I released many of them and flew back to the mountains, there are still some in the space. I don’t know how the silver roosters released by Zhang An are doing now. I hope they are okay.
That thing was nice to look at, but it didn’t have much meat. It was a pity to eat it, not as much as grouse. Zhang An couldn’t bear to kill such a beautiful thing just for that little bit of meat.
The grouse was included in the list of countries in later generations. If you eat it, you will be jailed.
But it’s not on the list of countries yet. Get some in advance. By then, not only will you be addicted to it, but you will also be able to feed nature, killing two birds with one stone.
If you can't get it tomorrow, then I'm sorry. It's pointless to keep just a rooster, so I'll use you to entertain guests.
Then I threw the grouse into the space and walked all the way home.
