Chapter 336 The Prince
“How much antlers can you harvest from deer in a year?”
As soon as he saw the herd of deer, Chen Cheng thought of deer antlers, and married men saw this stuff There is a sense of intimacy.
"Seven or eight pairs a year, about ten kilograms of antler."
Zhang An thought for a while and said, this is the antler cut last year.
“So many?”
Chen Ze looked carefully and found that there were four or five stags in the herd, one of which was very small.
He thought he could cut off three or four kilograms at most.
“Hey, the deer antlers here grow relatively fast, and they can cut two crops a year.”
Generally, when deer antlers grow faster, it’s probably around the time of Qingming Festival .
After late spring, there won't be much growth and it will begin to harden.
But here in Zhang An, after the antlers were cut off, Zhang An compensated them.
Let them roam around the space often and enjoy themselves.
The antlers cut off in this way can continue to grow, and another crop can be cut in July and August.
Actually, he could cut a few more crops, but Zhang An didn't want to do that.
Although they do not harm the body, Zhang An does not want them to become tools for cutting velvet.
The reason why two crops were cut last year was because Zhang and his party had just returned and had no medicinal materials, so Zhang An had to cut one more crop and give it to him as a spare.
"I have prepared deer antler wine. You can take some back when you leave. This stuff has good health effects."
The jar of deer antler wine in Zhang An's house is more than just wine. The effect is good, Ding Yi probably knows it best, after all, whoever uses it knows it.
We are all men, and Zhang An has been there before. Although Chen Cheng didn't speak, Zhang An already knew it.
When it comes to topics between men, it's just about understanding, not words.
The effect of using a single antler is not very good. It is not as effective as the soaked antler wine, which is quick and effective.
"Oh? Then I will bring some back to try and keep in good health, hehe."
Hearing Zhang An say this, Chen Cheng will definitely not refuse, as a man, he is getting older. After that, the hard work started.
"Hey, what's the effect? Give me a try too."
The two people spoke in a relatively low voice, but Chen Ze didn't hear clearly and only listened to half of it.
"Don't get involved. You won't need this thing yet. You will regret it if you use it in advance."
Zhang An wanted to get him some to try, but According to Ding Yi, this thing was quite powerful, so Zhang An gave up the idea.
"By the way, I heard that you are going on a blind date today, why did you come here?"
On New Year's Eve, Su Xuan called and mentioned Chen Ze at the beginning of the year Going on a blind date when we are three.
"Hey, why are you going on a blind date? That girl is secretly looking for someone outside. Why should I join in the fun?"
Chen Ze didn't want to go at first, but he couldn't bear the abuse of his old mother at home. Angry, so I could only agree.
But the night before, the woman came to him and told him this in private.
No matter whether this woman already has a partner or not, Chen Ze is not willing to praise her bad feet.
"It's okay, just take your time. But let me tell you, you don't have to be too averse to blind dates. It wouldn't hurt to meet more. After all, you are not young at this time."
Today's blind dates are actually okay for most people, which is different from those in later generations.
"I think so. If you procrastinate any longer, you will be almost thirty. Mom will have something good for you to eat by then."
Zhang An persuaded Chen Cheng, as the eldest brother He immediately followed suit.
"Okay, okay, why are you talking about this during the Chinese New Year? By the way, Zhang An, how about the thing I asked you about last time?"
Looking at the two married men , Chen Ze didn’t want to continue this topic.
"Oh? The old man agreed?"
Zhang An looked at Chen Ze in surprise. The two were talking about buying land to build a house.
"Well, after the old man came here once, he agreed."
Chen Ze was very lucky that he brought the old man here that day, otherwise it would be hard to say.
“I asked my uncle, if you don’t settle down, it’s difficult to get land.”
There have been many people wanting to buy land recently, and the village also held a meeting to discuss a plan.
“But this year the village plans to build a number of yards specifically for renting out. If you are interested, please ask later.”
These days, settling in is very simple. Land is granted. It is not difficult to build a house, but if you do not have a household registration, it will be difficult to get approved.
Especially for someone like Chen Ze, who would definitely not transfer his household registration to the village. Zhang An still suggested that he rent a yard, since he was not short of money anyway.
"Oh? Then I will take some time to find out about it from the old village chief."
Chen Ze just wants to have a stable residence in the village. Whether he buys or rents it is not very important.
"Aze wants to build a yard here?"
After listening to the conversation between the two, Chen Cheng figured out what was going on.
"Hmm, I like this place quite a lot and come here often, so I want to have a yard to make it more convenient."
Chen Ze nodded. This idea made sense to their parents and Chen Ze. The old man already knows.
“In this way, when you want to live in the future, you can also call your grandpa and parents to stay for a few days.”
“Yeah, that’s a good idea. After all, the environment here is good. , much cleaner than the city."
Chen Cheng nodded after hearing this, Chen's father and Chen's mother didn't care, they had to go to the provincial capital often.
But Mr. Chen is different. Now he just wants to retire in his hometown and does not want to go to the provincial capital.
Compared to the county town, there is coal ash everywhere and looks dirty.
As for Changqing, the environment is relatively clean, the air is much better, and it is relatively quiet.
Now that Mr. Chen does not object, it means that Father Chen and Mother Chen in the family can only agree.
After the two brothers discussed it, Chen Ze decided to go to the old village chief in the next two days.
Although the yard has not been built yet, we can settle things first.
This way, when it comes to building a small courtyard, you can also give your own opinions.
Looking at Chen Shaoyu again, the little guy is teasing a little deer.
With Zhang An here, the newly born fawn also played with him.
It can be seen that the little guy really likes sika deer. When he touches it with his hands, his movements are very gentle.
"Shao Yu, do you want to ride a deer? My uncle will carry you up and ride a sika deer."
Listening to Zhang An's seductive voice, the little guy's eyes were full of desire. But I was a little scared.
"Don't be afraid, they are well behaved. I will carry you up."
Zhang An carried little Shao Yu and walked into the herd of deer. Of course, he was not looking for Dahua, but Dahua's son. .
After all, Dahua is the leader of the deer group. He has been tortured enough before, so naturally he has to give him some face now.
When Zhang An first put him on the deer's back, the little guy was very panicked and didn't dare to let go of Zhang An's hand.
Because a deer has no mane on its neck like a horse, so it has no place to grab anything.
But after riding for a while, I found that the deer under my butt was not aggressive at all. The little guy became bolder and slowly let go of Zhang An's hand.
"You guys, come back and wash your hands and eat." Several grown men played with little Shao Yu for a long time, and Su Xuan called for dinner in the yard.
"Okay, come on, Shao Yu, let's go back to eat and let the deer have a rest."
Zhang An responded to his sister-in-law, turned around and followed The little guy said as if discussing.
When the little guy heard Zhang An's words, he obediently let Zhang An take him off the deer's back without making any fuss.
Chen Cheng next to him looked a little stunned. Is this still his son? He didn't even believe it.
Usually at home, when he gets excited about playing, no one wants him to stop, and he has a very bad temper.
While eating, Zhang An still took out the stuffed fruit.
Because as the eldest sister, Su Xuan, like Su Ying, has no ability to drink at all.
So in order to take care of the two sisters, everyone drank fruit stuffed today. As a family, we need to be neat and tidy.
What I drank today was plum wine, and the bright red wine aroused the little guy's strong interest.
"Uncle, does this taste good? I want to drink it too."
Seeing that everyone had it, he was the only one who didn't, so he pestered Zhang An to pour it for him.
"Shao Yu, this is wine, not a drink. You are still young and cannot drink."
Su Xuan and Wu Qiuping hurriedly coaxed him, saying that they would not let a four or five-year-old kid get drunk.
Zhang An doesn’t care. If it were other children in the family, Zhang An would give them some treatment.
After all, when it comes to drinking, you have to start from the baby.
But this was the treasure of my aunt’s family, and it existed like a prince, so Zhang An gave up the idea.
"Mom is lying, this is not wine at all, the wine grandpa drinks is not like this at all."
The little guy is very clever, and he also knows how to compare fruit wine with white wine.
In the end, Su Ying even brought him a bottle of drink, but she didn't even bother to settle it, and she insisted on drinking the same drink as everyone else.
The prince, who was spoiled rotten by his family, did not get his way for the first time. No matter how much Su Xuan and Wu Qiuping coaxed him, he could not be coaxed.
Seeing this, Zhang An shook his head secretly. It seemed that what he said in the morning was too early. How could this kid look like a good child?
Looking at the lawless prince, everyone had no choice.
"Come on, come on, Shao Yu, my uncle will pour it for you, let's drink it together."
According to Chen Ze's understanding of the prince in the family, if he didn't satisfy him, no one would think about it today. good.
So Chen Ze took his own bowl and poured a little bit for him, coaxing him first before talking.
It’s not a problem to keep him noisy, after all, everyone still has to eat.
"Aze, Shao Yu is still too young to drink."
Watching her brother-in-law pouring wine for her son, Su Xuan had a worried look on her face.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Those kids in the village, even those as old as Shao Yu, are just carrying bowls."
"Besides, this fruit wine has no alcohol content, just Just like a drink, it’s okay to give Shao Yu something to drink.”
And it’s okay even if he’s drunk, it will save the little guy from making trouble.
Anyway, the alcohol content of this wine is low, so it won’t hurt your body if you drink it. Moreover, the wine tastes good and doesn’t choke you when you drink it.
Su Xuan wanted to say something more, but found that her son had already finished the wine poured by his brother-in-law with a bowl in his hand.
"Hiccup~, Mom, this water tastes delicious."
The Chen family prince drank the wine in the bowl, burped, and said to his mother with a red face and a smile.
Originally the little guy wanted to drink, but after Zhang An gave him a big chicken drumstick, his attention was distracted.
In the Chen family, there are a lot of rules at the dinner table, so the little guy has never eaten so freely.
I grabbed the big chicken leg and chewed it. It was very fragrant, and my face was covered with oil.
Zhang An originally thought that the little guy would get a little drunk after drinking for the first time.
Unexpectedly, the little face that was flushed at first returned to normal after eating, much better than his mother and aunt.
After lunch, Zhang An made a pot of tea, and everyone rested in the yard to eat.
The little guy also asked Zhang An for a small cup just like a little adult.
Holding a cup of tea that was shaken by Wu Qiuping, he pretended to imitate others in drinking tea.
In the afternoon, Chen Ze proposed that the family go out for a walk.
Zhang An and Su Ying went over to keep them company. Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo did not go and chose to stay at home.
After all, after living in the village for decades, they were tired of seeing everywhere, so they stayed to look after the house.
“Grandma, grandma, look, someone is riding a big horse.”
After the family went out, Xiao Shaoyu’s attention was attracted by the people riding horses coming and going on the road. .
"Why, do you also want to ride a horse? If you want to ride a horse, go to your uncle and ask him to lead him out for you to ride."
The little guy was quite excited when he heard this. But soon he was shaking his head.
When he was in the big circle just now, he saw the two big horses of Zhang An's family.
At that time, the little guy was very excited and jumped into the horse pen, wanting to flatter him.
But the big black couple are arrogant and not as docile as the sika deer.
I saw the little guy approaching them, although he didn't make any hostile moves.
But he was so loud and talkative towards the little guy, and the slobber flew everywhere, which frightened the little guy.
“I don’t want to ride the big black horse, it is so fierce, I don’t like it.”
When the little guy thinks of the big black mouth and the big white teeth, there is still a shadow in his heart. Emerge.
If you want him to ride a horse, it is probably unlikely.
Today, everyone did not choose to climb the mountain, but walked down the bluestone road along the river.
Because there are many people going hiking in the past two days, and there are people on the road.
And the temperature has not been very high these two days, so everyone wears a lot of clothes.
It is said that in early spring, in February, flowers bloom, but it is not suitable for this year.
Because today is already the third day of the Lunar New Year, but it is still the end of January, which is more than ten days earlier than in previous years.
Although ten days may not seem like much, it is not yet springtime outside.
The temperature in these two days was only slightly warmer than the cold winter some time ago.
If you go hiking, you will easily get sweaty and uncomfortable. It is also easy to catch a cold when you take off your clothes and take a shower.
There are not many people on both sides of the river, but most of them are families with the elderly or children.
In the fields on both sides of the river, some people have not planted winter rapeseed, so they are still empty.
Many children in the village are carrying things and digging for loaches and eels in the fields.
In the past, this thing was not valuable, and few people came to dig it.
But now, many people from the city come to the village. Many people see the wild eels and loaches dug by children and want to pay for them.
So in the past two days, there have been quite a few kids running into the fields digging for eels and loaches.
Children naturally like to get together, so Xiao Shaoyu ignored the shouts of his grandmother and mother and crawled over to get into a pile with the children.
