Chapter 68 The Popular Big Flower Family (please collect and recommend)
After some pleasantries, Zhang An led everyone towards his yard.
Back home, Zhang An introduced his parents to everyone.
Then everyone took out chairs and sat under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard to chat.
Chen Ze knew that Li Hongbin’s family lived in the town, not far from here, so he mentioned it.
"Zhang An, call Hong Bin and ask him to come and play. I know he is at home today."
Hearing this, Zhang An nodded and agreed, and went to the canteen to give Li Hongbin and his family a Call up.
Fortunately, Zhang An asked his mother to cook a lot of food today, otherwise it might not be enough to eat.
After a while, Li Hongbin came with his wife and children.
The three members of Li Hongbin’s family have not been to Changqing for a long time. When they saw the Dahua family in the yard, they also became curious babies.
After Zhou Lan arrived, she greeted a few people and then went into the house to help Wang Fang cook.
She is related to the Zhang An family, so Wang Fang did not see her outside.
The yard of Zhang An's house is now full of life after Zhang An's tidying up, and you can still feel a very comfortable feeling sitting in it.
Ding Yi is a fisherman. As soon as he entered the yard, he was attracted by the fish in the fish pond.
Zhang An was talking to everyone while handling the remaining eels.
On the other side, Zhang An’s father, Zhang Jianguo, has already taken care of several rabbits and two native chickens.
On the contrary, Zhong Chengyuan and Dong Jingzhi helped Zhang An kill the eel.
The people at the back wanted to help, but they didn’t need that many people.
"Just sit down, everyone. I'll get this done in a few moments."
Everyone started to move their hands, but Zhang An felt a little embarrassed.
"Anyway, idle time is idle. Everyone can just stretch out their hands and finish the work. Today we are all here to experience life in the mountains. We can't just stand and wait for food. Everyone, please tell me, right?"
"That's right." "
Dong Jingzhi and Zhong Chengyuan, Zhang An looked like they were people who often did housework at home, they were so skilled.
But it’s not their fault. Who said all the men in this area have the attribute of razor-sharp ears?
My father was treated by his mother to lose his temper.
In the end, Zhang An let them take action.
Because there were too many people, both Dong Jingzhi and Dong Jingzhi were experienced, so Zhang An asked them to handle the eels. He poured the lobsters out of the cage and started cleaning them.
"Zhang An, is this thing edible? Is it delicious?"
Chen Ze has never eaten lobster, but he has eaten other shrimps and watched Zhang An cleaning the lobster. Lobster asked curiously.
“This thing doesn’t taste good. It’s everywhere in the ditches in the field. It tastes like mud.”
Li Hongbin had eaten it when he was young, so he still had some impressions. When Chen Ze asked about it, he told him.
"That's what you're doing wrong. I'll give you some advice later. I'll make sure you feel good about it. Be careful when you overeat."
Zhang An smiled at Li Hong.
“What else can be done with these shrimps? Isn’t it just boiled?”
Hearing Zhang An’s words, Li Hongbin became even more curious.
"You'll know later. I'll clean and dispose of these first."
Everyone was even more curious now, and several people immediately helped Zhang An start cleaning the lobsters.
Chen Ning and Su Ying on the side were eager to help, but they gave up the idea when they saw the pair of large pincers on the crayfish.
Wen Jing has been sitting quietly. It can be seen that she is a person who has no fingers in the spring water, otherwise Dong Jingzhi would not be so skilled in housework.
After cleaning, Zhang An dealt with the shrimp heads and threads, while Li Hongbin looked at them seriously.
The two girls couldn't stand the internal organs inside the shrimp heads, so they stopped watching.
The little tiger brothers in the yard saw that there were too many people in the yard, so they ran to their nests and lay down to sleep. They didn't like the excitement.
On the contrary, it was the deer in the yard that attracted Su Ying and Chen Ze's sister.
"Zhang An, how come your family raises deer? I didn't see them last time I came here."
Chen Ze looked at the deer in the yard and asked Zhang An .
Then Zhang An told the story about Dahua. Especially after hearing that Zhang An had found ginseng, everyone was even more astonished.
"Then why don't they have horns on their heads? Shouldn't deers have horns on their heads?"
Little girl Chen Ning was a little surprised that the big flower had two bumps on its head.
“Female deer don’t grow antlers, only male deer do, but the antlers that Dahua just grew this year were cut off a few days ago, so now there are only two bags after the wound has healed. "
Zhang An said with a smile.
"Ah, cut off the antlers on its head. Will it hurt a lot?"
"It will definitely hurt, but we used anesthetic for Dahua, so it won't hurt." It hurts too much, and the stag’s antlers fall off on their own every year. Even if they don’t fall off, they will find a place to knock them off. The antlers that have just grown out and have not yet hardened are called antler. Everyone knows, so what we cut a few days ago was deer antlers.”
Zhang An patiently explained to everyone that everyone was not very familiar with deer. Even if they saw it, they were in the zoo or on TV in the provincial capital. Seen on.
“So that’s it, so the male deer’s antlers fall off once a year, so what’s the use of growing them out?”
“They harden in the wild environment The antlers are their weapons, and they can also be used to attract female deer for courtship. They are an indispensable part of the male deer."
"That is, Dahua lives in your house now, so there is no need to use weapons. It’s a defense against enemies, and with so many female deer in your house, it doesn’t need to go out to court, right?”
Chen Ning’s look of realization was really cute.
"Hahaha, that's it." Then Zhang An returned to the room and found the broken corner of the big flower that had been broken in the space before and took it out to everyone.
“This is the old antlers it replaced in the mountains before, such a big one.”
Then everyone gathered around to look at the pair of broken antlers, like a group of curious babies .
"Brother An, let's feed the big flowers."
At this time, the children in the village brought their own grass to feed the big flowers.
After feeding, Dahua will lie down on the ground and give them a few touches.
After touching it for a while, Dahua stood up.
It means that the grass is only enough to touch for a while.
The little naughties are also used to Dahua’s reaction.
"Zhang An, this deer was allowed to be touched by these children." Chen Ning and Su Ying, two girls, probably saw a living deer at such a close distance for the first time. Just now, the children touched it They were so envious when it came to deer.
“The children in the village like animals very much, and they also like Dahua and his family, so they always bring grass to feed them. When Dahua eats other people’s grass, he must let others touch it, otherwise It’s just a rogue thing, so it’s like this later. Feed the big flower some grass and touch it for a while.”
“Can we touch it? It’s furry and we really want to touch it.” "The two young girls looked at Zhang An eagerly, and even Wen Jing beside them was looking forward to it. Zhang An was a little dumbfounded and said: "Of course, I can bring it over and touch it for you."
"We don't mean to let you hold them, but we are like the group of children just now. Can we feed them grass and then they can touch them?"
That's what we meant.
"That's right, of course." Then Zhang An went to the outer circle and brought a basket of grass over.
"You feed them this grass. After feeding them for a while, they will be familiar with you and then they will let you touch them."
Hearing this, the women all stood up and took a handful of grass. Go feed some big flowers.
“Be careful.” Dong Jingzhi warned when he saw his wife also going there.
"It's okay, Brother Dong. The Dahua family are very docile and very close to each other, so I didn't even lock them up, just put them in the deer shed."
That's it, a few The man was handling eels and lobsters nearby. After Li Hongbin watched Zhang An handle a few lobsters, he probably felt that he had learned it, so he started handling it with Zhang An. Chen Ze and Ding Yi were chatting with the big guys at the side. The three of them The girl had a great time playing with Dahua's family.
After processing the eel, Zhang An cut the eel into pieces and took them home to cook for his mother.
Zhang An then put a pot on another fire, poured oil, and finished the crayfish he had just washed.
Zhang An's father, Zhang Jianguo, helped chop chickens and rabbits in the kitchen and beat them. After Zhou Lan arrived, he was liberated.
A group of men were bragging and spanking in the yard.
"Dad, can I go play with them? They won't kick me."
Li Yao, who had just run out to play with Zhang Tie, came back and saw some aunties there. Play with the deer.
Li Yao pointed at the Dahua family and took Zhang An's hand.
“Go to those aunties and feed them some grass, and they will play with you.”
Li Yao heard what Zhang An said and grabbed a handful of grass. Joined the deer playing team.
"Zhang An, do you still have the deer antlers you harvested a few days ago? Have you sold them?"
At this time, Lao Zhong and Dong Jingzhi asked Zhang An in a low voice.
Even Li Hongbin heard it and came closer.
There is no other way. When a middle-aged man has no choice but to have a weak husband, he cannot hold up his head at home.
"I'm here. I don't plan to sell it. You guys can't help it..." Zhang An looked at a few people with meaningful eyes.
"When you get married, you will know when you are our age. Men, it is not easy."
After saying this, several married middle-aged men Suddenly it was like finding an organization.
"There are two or three kilograms of deer antlers cut from this crop, and the second grandfather used them to process them. It seems to be used to make wine. If you need it, you will have to wait for a while."
"Oh? Did Second Grandpa use it to make wine? Then leave some of this wine for me when the time comes. I am convinced of Second Grandpa's craftsmanship."
Zhang Er Li Hongbin had personally tried the medicinal wine that he brewed, so that was an unconditional trust.
"Brother Li, what do you say?" Zhong Chengyuan and Dong Jingzhi became more and more curious after hearing Li Hongbin's words.
I saw Li Hongbin whispering in their ears.
"Brother Zhang An, you should leave some for us when the time comes." After listening, the two of them said to Zhang An.
"Okay, okay, I'll let you know when it's ready."
When the few people heard Zhang An's promise, they looked at each other and smiled.
"What are you talking about? Why are you laughing so happily?"
A few people who played with Dahua came back and saw the meaningful smiles of a group of men. asked.
“I didn’t say anything, just talking.”
The kitchen was still cooking, but some corn had just been cooked in the pot.
Zhang An brought it out for everyone to eat first.
“Everyone, come and try the corn our family grew this year. I think it’s pretty good. I’ll cook some for you to try.”
The corn that has just been cooked in the pot exudes a delicious aroma. The strong fragrance quickly attracted everyone. They wanted to pick one up but were afraid of burning their hands.
Zhang An found a pair of chopsticks from home, put one on for everyone, and then they could eat with the chopsticks.
There was a lot left in the basket, so Zhang An called over the dolls that were still playing with Dahua's family and shared some with each other.
The children in the village were almost finished playing at this time, and went home while gnawing the corn given by Zhang An.
Because the adults in their family have told them today that there are guests at Zhang An's house, so they should stop disturbing them.
“Zhang An, your corn is pretty good. It’s soft and waxy, sweet and refreshing. It tastes better than the corn we buy in the vegetable market.”
The current local glutinous rice Everyone is still growing corn, but fruit corn has not yet started to be grown in the city, so when Dong Jingzhi and others were in the city, they could also buy it at the vegetable market.
"Zhang An, do you grow this kind of corn in your fields? Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't eat it until you grow old?"
Chen Ning asked a little cutely, When chatting just now, she heard that Zhang An’s family planted several acres of corn, so she thought it would be a pity not to eat such corn.
“Hahaha, what is grown in the ground is different from this one. What is grown in the ground is hybrid seeds bought from a seed company. That one is not as delicious. What we eat now is what we keep at home. The local corn is grown specifically to be eaten as vegetables."
Zhang An patiently explained to several people.
“And the corn yield in the field is much more than that of local corn, so this is the reason why everyone chooses to plant hybrid corn. In the past two years, conditions have improved and everyone can afford rice, so most of the corn is grown. It is used to raise livestock or sold to grain dealers to make feed.”
"In the past, every household didn't have enough rice to eat, so they grew local corn mixed with rice as their staple food."
The conditions at home are very good, and it doesn't look like they have eaten corn rice. People, so Zhang Anduo said a few words.
Now that everyone eats rice, they don’t think they can make corn rice.
But in later generations, there were people in the vegetable market who made corn rice and sold it to everyone, because at that time, everyone thought that eating whole grains was good for the body. It is difficult to say that many things in the world are actually reincarnation.
But after Zhang An’s corn was planted, Zhang An also poured space spring water.
It tastes delicious to everyone, and I still want to eat another after finishing one.
He was quickly stopped by Zhang An.
"Everyone, let's just eat something fresh. We are full now. We won't be able to eat lunch later. I have prepared a lot of delicious things for you today. Look at Chen Ze and Li Hongbin. , the two of them ate half of the corn and stopped moving."
Hearing Zhang An's name, the two of them smiled unconsciously.
“If you like to eat corn, I will break some for you when you go back. You can take it back and cook or fry it. Anyway, this corn can be stored for a day or two and will not get old. ”
After hearing Zhang An's words, no one ate more corn.
Chen Ning is angry when she looks at Chen Ze now. This man will have something better to eat later and he didn’t even tell her.
After a while, the aroma of cooking came from the room.
Zhang An knew that his mother in the kitchen had already started cooking.
