Chapter 104 Returning Home (please subscribe)
Zhang An plans to bring the two largest deer home to raise them among the several deer in the space.
So now I am taking advantage of this time to release them both, and lead them back openly, letting everyone see that I brought them from the mountain.
When we were on the mountain last night, Zhang An had already peeled off some tree bark and rubbed some rope, which he could use to tie them and lead them home.
The two deer are not making any noise now. Zhang An holds them, and they follow Zhang An.
On the way back to the village, Zhang An also met many acquaintances in the village, especially when they saw the two big deer held by Zhang An and carrying a large basket full of food on his back. .
Although Zhang An covered the basket with a layer of leaves, everyone knows that Zhang An's harvest this time is not small, each one is extraordinary, and Zhang An is praised to the sky.
"Oh, Zhang An has gone to the mountains to purchase goods again. These two deer are quite big. They are really impressive at Mr. Huang's craftsmanship."
Zhang An was fair and aboveboard at the time. I took my things with me and went to Mr. Huang's house to learn the craftsmanship of this condom.
Everyone in the village knows about this, but they are all used to it, because people often came to learn from the old man in the past, but they only learned a little bit. Occasionally, it is okay to trap a hare and grouse, but it is a little bigger. There is no hope.
In the end, Mr. Huang scolded both of them, saying that they didn't use their brains to learn things and were not good at learning. Later, when living conditions improved, no one started to learn.
In Zhang An’s generation, Huang Erye taught several people, but in the end only Zhang An mastered it.
The main reason is that they are unwilling to learn, but Zhang An is willing to learn.
The Zhang An in the past was also unwilling, but the Zhang An who returned from time travel would never let go of this opportunity.
While shopping, I asked my second grandfather to take me to the door.
At that time, everyone was not optimistic that Zhang An could learn it, but gradually, when Zhang An first lassoed some hares from the mountains, everyone thought it was normal.
When Zhang An brought the muntjac from the mountain, everyone felt that Zhang An had mastered Huang Erye's craft.
Only Mr. Huang and a few old people in the village can get such a big thing.
No matter how Zhang An explained it, the muntjac was caught by a little tiger in the family, and everyone thought Zhang An was being humble.
So when Zhang An came back today with two deer deer, no one was very surprised. They just thought Zhang An was awesome.
Although deer deer are indeed fast, in the past, many people still ate them if they had guns at home.
When I walked to the entrance of the village, I met several children in the village. They saw Zhang An driving two deers away, and they all rushed to hold the rope for Zhang An.
"Uncle Xiao An, let me help you hold the rope."
"Brother Xiao An, let me do it."
The dolls in the village followed along, one by one. The new animals that have made their home are curious again.
"Do you dare to hold them? If you let them go later, your family will have to pay compensation."
The adults next to me were frightened when they saw how noisy these dolls were.
Although this deer is not big, it is very powerful, and these children may not be able to hold it.
If he breaks free and runs away, it will be hard for the adults in the family to tell him. Such a big deer costs at least hundreds of dollars.
After hearing the scary words from these uncles and uncles in the village, the little children stopped talking about holding the rope. If they let them go home, they would definitely be beaten.
But they still followed Zhang An, but when they reached the village, they were called home by the adults at home.
“Mom, I’m back.”
At the gate of the courtyard, Zhang An shouted first.
Wang Fang came out of the house wearing an apron. When she saw Zhang An coming back, she first handed her the handle to help Zhang An take the basket off his back.
"If you don't come back, I'm going to find someone to go up the mountain to find you. Why did you get two of these things? This basket is not light."
Wang Fangdi Taking the basket from Zhang An's back, he suddenly felt heavy.
Wang Fang looked at the two deers held by his son and asked.
Zhang An first tied the two guys in his hands in the deer shed.
“I dug some treasures in the basket, and I will show them to you and my dad tonight. I met these two guys on the mountain, so I set a trap for them, and I caught them by chance.”
Wang Fang also knew that her son usually liked these things, but he didn’t say anything. It was just that the family could no longer keep them, and Zhang An also brought them home as if they were goods.
"But we have no room to keep them in our house."
"It's okay, just tie them up in the deer shed. We'll move them all to their new houses in a few days. The pens over there are spacious."< br>
Seeing that her son was back, Wang Fang felt relieved.
The son traveled thousands of miles and his mother was worried. Although Zhang An had not traveled thousands of miles, the old mountains and forests were not that safe.
Even though Zhang An kept telling her that he would not enter the mountains, what mother wouldn't be worried.
The two tigers in the yard are now close to the big tiger and the little tiger.
It seems to be saying, where did you two go to play yesterday and you didn’t even call me.
Xiaohu ignored it. Xiaohu was usually the coldest among the three brothers.
It thought that the big tiger would play with it as usual. Unexpectedly, the big tiger came back today and stopped playing with it. Instead, it lay on the ground.
And now Dahu looks at Erhu like an adult looking at a child, which makes Erhu a little confused.
Zhang An went back to the room, changed his clothes, went to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and took a cold shower. However, there was no water heater, so the idea of taking a hot shower in winter was not possible for the time being.
After the new house was built, he called several masters to come over and help build a bathroom for the old house.
Zhang An's family was very polite to the masters who built the house. Not only did they bring them tea every day, Zhang An and Zhang Jianguo often went over to spread cigarettes for them.
So Zhang An just mentioned it before, and everyone remembered it.
After the new house was built, everyone took the initiative to talk to Zhang An about it.
When Zhang An came out of the shower, Zhang Jianguo had already returned with a basket of grass on his back.
Zhang An quickly walked over to help remove the frame from his father's back.
"Dad, don't we still have so much grass at home? Why are you still mowing the grass?"
Zhang An just cut a pile of grass and put it away, and now the big black at home , Dahua family, and Dahuang family all graze in the cherry orchard without having to mow them.
Only the three native pigs and eight little piglets in the pig pen, and the black goat sent by Mr. Huang's family need to eat grass.
Basically, Zhang An always makes a pile that is enough for them to eat for several days.
“I went to the field today to look at the seedlings and pull out the tares. The grass on our field ridge was growing nicely, so I cut it on the way. Cut more and bring back more, so that the livestock at home can eat more. "Some, when did you come back? Why did you catch two deer deer?" I carried it home without blushing or out of breath.
In the past, if I carried such a basket of grass, although it would not be too tiring, I would still be panting and sweating.
“I’ve been back for a while, and I happened to meet him in the mountains, so I put a trap on him. It’s not easy to see this thing at the bottom of the mountain now.”
Father and son. While talking, Wang Fang in the room had prepared the meal and had already started calling the father and son in the yard to eat. "Mom, wait a minute. I'll call Grandpa Second over for dinner. I'll see him later if I have anything to do." Wang Fang, who went to call Mr. Zhang over for dinner, poured some peanuts from the cupboard and prepared to fry a bowl.
My second grandfather likes to have a sip of wine before every meal, so Wang Fang needs to prepare some peanuts and salted beans to go with the wine.
Zhang An came to his second grandfather’s house and saw his second grandma preparing to wash rice and cook.
"Second Grandma, stop washing the rice. You and Grandpa Second come to my house to eat tonight."
Zhang An walked over and took the pot with rice from his Second Grandma's hand and put it in the main room. On the table, I also forgot to cover the pot with a lid, because I was worried that the big mice in the house would steal the rice.
"You little monkey, what have you got to do with your second grandfather again?"
Hearing Zhang An calling him and the two of them to come over for dinner, Zhang Erye smiled and told Zhang An said.
"Oh, my old man, why should your grandson ask you to have a meal because you have something to do? Come on, I will close the door."
Zhang An pulled him When the second grandpa and second grandma went out, they helped close the door to the house.
"Mr. Zhang, Zhang An is here to ask you to go out for a drink again."
"Hahaha, yes, this kid is always filial."
People around him were used to it when they saw Zhang An calling his second grandpa and grandma to have dinner. Zhang An often called his second grandpa, second grandma, and fourth grandpa to come to the house for dinner.
Everyone said that Zhang An was a filial child, especially the old people in the village who had separated their families. They all envied Mr. Zhang for having such a filial grandson. Those incompetent ones in his family were not like this.
After Zhang An called Mr. Zhang and his wife over, the family started to have dinner on the table.
Zhang An poured his own Gastrodia wine that had been soaked until golden brown as usual.
After listening to what Zhang Jianguo told Wang Fang, Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang knew that Zhang An himself ran into the mountains yesterday and came back this afternoon.
“How can you, kid, go to the mountains alone? You’ll get lost in the mountains if you don’t pay attention. You should ask Mr. Huang to go with you. He’s better than yourself in this mountain. We are still familiar with each other, and returning to the mountains is like returning to his home.”
Hearing that Zhang An had gone to the mountains for a night, the second mistress quickly gave Zhang An a few words of advice. Not a fun place.
Zhang An naturally knew that Mr. Huang was familiar with the mountains. He used to be one of the few mountain guards in the village.
But Zhang An's trip to the mountain this time was just a pretense. Although he also searched carefully after entering the mountain, based on the experience Zhang Erye taught him, he still couldn't find a single ginseng plant in the end. Even ginseng seedlings.
So, if you really want to find ginseng, it really depends on fate.
But the basket of Polygonatum sibiricum and Ganoderma lucidum that I dug was already a great harvest.
“Second Grandpa, let’s eat first, and I’ll show you something good later.”
As soon as Zhang An said this, the wine in Mr. Zhang An's hand no longer tasted good.
But this little brat didn't say anything directly, so Mr. Zhang could only hold back and finish the meal, and the wine in his hand was no longer fragrant.
Finally, within half an hour, the family finished their meal.
“Let’s go, let me see what good things you want me to see.”
Second Master Zhang couldn’t wait anymore and urged Zhang An.
The last time Zhang An showed him something good, it was that fat ginseng stick.
Seeing that my second grandfather looked anxious, his parents were also looking forward to it.
Second Grandpa may not know what he is doing in the mountains, but his parents do.
After Zhang An took out the basket under the stairs in the main room, he removed the leaves on it.
“Here, Second Grandpa, they are all here.”
Some Ganoderma lucidum is placed on the top of the basket, and Polygonatum odorifera is placed below, because Ganoderma lucidum cannot withstand pressure.
Second Master Zhang saw the Ganoderma lucidum in the basket at a glance.
“Oh, there are so many Ganoderma lucidum. These are not small. The biggest one is almost as big as a face.”
Zhang Jianguo, Wang Fang and the Second Mistress also picked up the basket at this moment. Look carefully at the Ganoderma lucidum inside.
“Yes, look, it’s even sprayed with powder.”
Zhang An’s mistress picked up a large Ganoderma lucidum and could feel the powdered spores on it.
"This can't be wasted. We have to find something to catch it. It would be great if we could plant it."
Zhang An looked at everyone's excitement and was embarrassed to say, but There are a few flowers as big as a basin.
Fortunately, I didn’t take it out, otherwise no one would know how excited they would be.
“Mom, Second Grandma, we don’t have much use for these spores anymore. The land in the village cannot grow Ganoderma lucidum at all. Even if it is grown, it is not valuable. I shook a lot when I picked it. Stay in the mountains, where they are suitable to grow.”
Then Zhang An called his mother to bring over a sieve to pick out the Ganoderma lucidum and put it in it.
After picking out the Ganoderma lucidum, the true identity of the Polygonatum odorifera below was revealed.
What caught Erye Zhang’s eyes were the few Huangjing roots dug up by Zhang An that had grown for more than 20 years.
Second Master Zhang hurriedly picked them up and looked at them carefully.
He has been digging for Huang Jing all his life, but he has never found such a long string of big ones.
This time Zhang An actually dug out several roots at once. He could roughly tell how many years these Polygonatum japonicas were with just a cursory glance.
"These roots are at least twenty years old. Xiao An, have you gone into the old forest?"
In the mountains near Changqing Village, Mr. Zhang has been growing up for so many years. I've been looking for it every year.
Such a thing cannot come from a nearby mountain. Mr. Zhang is sure that it would have been dug up by him long ago.
When Mr. Zhang asked Zhang An if he had entered the old forest, Wang Fang's face suddenly turned pale.
Didn't this child promise them not to go into the old forest after going into the mountains?
Why are you so disobedient? That forest is no joke.
Zhang An also saw the change in his mother's face. He had to explain this quickly, otherwise he would not be clean at night.
"Second Grandpa, I didn't enter the old forest. Do you remember the big cave? Go up the rocky slope opposite the big cave. There is a pine forest at the bottom of the Eagle Beak Cliff. I found it there."
As soon as Zhang An mentioned the location, Mr. Zhang immediately began to recall whether he had been to that place before.
"Second Grandpa, don't even think about it. If you had been there before, you would have served it in one pot, and you wouldn't have left these things behind, and I met you."
< br>After hearing this, Mr. Zhang also felt that this was the truth.
Pour the entire basket of Polygonatum sibiricum into the main room. There is still a huge pile, weighing at least six or seventy pounds. It took Mr. Zhang a long time to dig out so much. Woolen cloth.
