Chapter 404 Grapes that have crossed the New Year

Looking at the lost and recovered Huatou family, Wang Fang couldn't help but gently caress their back feathers, which was an action she rarely did.

Although they have been raised by the family for several years now, they are no longer as resistant to Zhang An's family as before.

But Wang Fang usually doesn't take advantage of them unless he is particularly happy.

Because Su Ying said before, eagles are proud animals, and they cannot tolerate others reaching out to them, except for those who are particularly close to them.

Since then, in order to respect them, Wang Fang rarely touches them, even if the action is very intimate.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, and the same goes for Huatou. Just forget about eating it outside. Why bring it back? It must be very hard to catch such a heavy lamb."
< br>Although it is just a lamb, this thing is quite heavy. Zhang An weighed it and found that it weighed more than ten kilograms at least.

Although they look very big when their wings are spread, they actually weigh no more than ten pounds.

When they usually go hunting, they usually catch rabbits weighing several kilograms. Today, it is indeed not easy to catch such a heavy lamb.

Despite what he said, Wang Fang couldn't help but smile in his eyes at the moment, and was very satisfied with these lambs

After all, these four little lambs, with a little care, are just four It's a big sheep. It's all the family's property, and it's a free one. Anyone who replaces it will definitely be satisfied.

So in order to reward them, Wang Fang returned home, took out two kilograms of fresh pork, cut it into strips and distributed it to them.

Hua Tou and the others probably consumed a lot of money while catching such a big lamb along the way, so the family of four ate very deliciously.

As the host, Zhang An also made a bowl of space spring water and placed it next to them for them to enjoy after their meal.

The few goshawks that had eaten and drank enough did not stay in the yard and flew back to their nests. They were probably tired after a few days and went to catch up on their naps.

After they left, the few lambs relaxed and stopped humming.

Although they looked like lambs, Zhang An couldn't tell what breed they were because they were still relatively small.

But what Huatou and the others can bring back must be wild populations.

After all, Huatou and the others were trained by him and had no inclination to steal.

After holding a few lambs and observing them for a long time, Zhang An still couldn't distinguish their breeds, so he finally just put them in a pen.

But Zhang An is not worried about this problem now, it doesn't matter even if the sheep is a precious animal.

Because now he has the death-free gold medal obtained by Zhu Yuliang in his hand, he can raise these things openly.

As long as he does not use these things for profit, it will not have any impact even if others report him.

On the contrary, he can also use the magical properties of space to save some endangered species.

In the evening, Su Ying came back from school and heard that Huatou and the others had brought four little lambs to their home today.

Immediately put down the textbook and ran to the circle to observe carefully.

Su Ying may be the reason why she is pregnant recently, so her whole person exudes the glory of motherhood.

“Hey Zhang An, what kind of sheep is this? Why does it look better than the lambs produced by our flock of sheep?”

The black goat cubs at home are different from the wild goats. The cub is actually a type with outstanding appearance among sheep.

But compared with the current four little ones, some obvious differences can still be seen.

These four lambs have six to eight obvious white stripes on their backs covered in yellow fur.

Compared to other lambs, their eyes are like natural eye shadows, with a circle of dark black markings, which are very beautiful.

“I don’t know much about this. I checked the information in the past two days. You see, they are so small, and the horns are starting to appear on their heads. They don’t look like ordinary guys.”

After all, Zhang An is just a rural person, and it is normal for him to have insufficient reserves in these aspects.

Zhu Yuliang called some time ago and said that the camera he applied for was ready and asked him to go and get it when he had time.

It just so happened that Zhang An had nothing to do at home during this period, so he happened to go to the city for a trip.

Also stop by the Forestry Bureau to look for relevant information. There is no shortage of these things.

"Zhang An, I found that these animals in our family are worthy of being raised by you, and their temperaments are exactly the same as yours."

"Oh? What kind of statement is this? , what did our teacher Su discover?”

"Look, when you usually go into the mountains, you always like to bring back everything you see. As time goes by, all the animals in the house begin to follow your example. Not long ago, the little tiger even picked up two little wild goats from the mountains. Today, they are all beautiful. They don’t know where they got these little guys. If things continue like this, I won’t be surprised if they bring anything else to the house.”

Listening to his wife counting on her fingers, Zhang An thought. It seems that's really what happened.

In the past two years, he likes to bring home everything he sees in the mountains, especially plants or medicinal materials.

The animals at home seemed to be used to him bringing things home from the mountains, so they followed suit.

Especially the little tiger, this guy carries the most things. He may not be able to carry the plants growing in the soil, but he can carry a lot of the prey he usually catches.

“Hey, this is called Gu family, and it’s a good habit. Twenty years ago, such an animal would have been the treasure of the family.”

In that era, if the family could be organized A dog that goes up the mountain to catch rabbits is the family's treasure, and it can reduce a lot of the family's living burden.

Zhang An once heard his father often say that dogs at that time were not picky about what they ate.

In an era when people couldn't eat white rice, they could eat pig food cooked with pig grass just like pigs, which was very worry-free.

But you have to be careful at home, otherwise if you are not careful, others will steal the meat and eat it.

After all, in the eyes of those people, these are just foods that can fill their stomachs.

"Mom, our family will have nothing to do tomorrow. If not, I will go to the city."

During dinner in the evening, Zhang An reported the itinerary to his old mother.

Now Zhang An really embodies the saying in the Analects of Confucius "If your parents are here, if you don't travel far, you will have a good way to travel".

Normally he doesn't go out at all, and something happens every time he goes out.

"What can I do at home? But when you go, buy some fruits. The ones you bought before are gone."

Since Su Ying became pregnant, Wang Fang has been very interested in The family’s diet is very important.

Daily meals must not only have a balanced mix of nutrients, but also must have other fruits and vegetables.

Especially during this period, Su Ying's belly became pregnant, and the fruit at home never stopped.

“Mom, you don’t have to buy them. If you wait a while, our cherries and peaches will be ready to eat. I’ve been eating the fruits on the street for several months now.”

Although mother's love is something that no one can refuse.

But Su Ying has long been tired of the fruit supply for several months.

Especially in this era when transportation is not very convenient, and this is a small and remote county.

The local fruits are not yet ripe for the market, and there are only a few kinds of fruit stalls in the city.

Eating it occasionally is okay, but if you eat it every day for so long, even an individual will get tired of it.

Wang Fang always handed Su Ying a washed apple or other things after meals.

Although Su Ying didn't really want to eat, she saw the concern on her mother-in-law's face. As a new daughter-in-law, she really couldn't refuse, so she usually took her back to the room and fed anyone who came. Zhang An.

Seeing that the pile of fruits at home was almost finished, Su Ying felt that she was finally liberated.

Seeing that her mother-in-law wanted to keep her husband alive, she quickly thought of a way to refuse. "It's okay, Xiaoying, if you don't want to eat it, it doesn't matter if you buy it and keep it. You can take it when you want to eat it."

What Wang Fang was thinking was that the village was far away from the city and it would not be easy to go there.

Even if you have a car at home, traveling by car for four or five hours back and forth is still a torture.

So when my son has something to do, I just want to come with him and it won’t be too much trouble.

"Okay, okay, I will solve this big problem."

Su Ying's boredom is only for those types of products that she buys every day during this period. She is also a person who likes to eat fruits.

So just change the recipe and taste a little bit for her.

If it were others, it might not be possible, but for Zhang An, it was a piece of cake.

Zhang An quickly finished the remaining rice in the bowl, put down the bowl and went to the backyard.

"Have you eaten? Why did you only eat so little today?"

Watching Zhang An finish a bowl of rice in a hurry and leave, Wang Fang quickly asked.

She has long been accustomed to her son being a complete rice cook, usually having several bowls at a meal.

"It's okay. I'll go out for a minute and I'll continue eating when I come back."

This bowl of rice is not even effective for Zhang An's stomach.

If you only eat this much, you will definitely be woken up by hunger until midnight.

After saying something casually, Zhang An went into his cellar.

When I came back, I had a few more mud balls in my hands.

"You are such an adult, why do you still like to play with mud."

Wang Fang looked at the mud ball in his son's hand and said something disgusting.

No matter how childish Zhang An is, she would never open her mouth.

But this is still mealtime, so putting down the bowl and playing in the mud is a bit unseemly.

"Mom, this is not mud, look."

As Zhang An said, he broke the mud ball in his hand into two halves.

“Hey, what is this?”

Su Ying kept staring at her man, wanting to see what he was selling in his gourd.

Unexpectedly, the mud ball opened up and there was a bunch of things as big as eggs inside.

It’s just that it has been coated with a layer of dry ash, so I can’t tell what it is.

"Hey, these are grapes, you didn't expect it."

Zhang An chuckled, brought a small basin of water over, washed the gray grapes, revealing their original purple color Red look.

These are the grapes he had brought out by storing them in mud balls in the space following the method of "Cangina".

I originally thought of using it as a surprise for Su Ying, but with so many things going on at home, he forgot about these things that were left in the cellar.

Today I heard my old mother talking about buying fruits, and then I remembered them that had been forgotten.

“Hey, it’s really a grape, but why are the grapes so big, like an egg? I thought they were our plums.”

Looking at the exposed The purple-red skin is no longer unfamiliar to Su Ying.

She originally thought that the grapes from Li Yao's house were already very big, like pigeon eggs.

I didn’t expect that the ones Zhang An made today were even bigger than the ones Li Hongbin sent over.

“Come and try it, see if it tastes good.”

After washing it off, Zhang An stuffed one into Su Ying’s mouth.

"Dad, Mom, you guys should try it too."

In addition to my daughter-in-law, my parents, Zhang An, will naturally not forget her.

“We don’t like to eat it, just leave it for Xiaoying to eat.”

Neither Wang Fang nor Zhang Jianguo wanted it, so they took it and put it in front of Su Ying.

Both of them are very curious about their son's ability to preserve grapes until now.

But I also know in my heart that now is not the season for grapes to mature. Even if they can be preserved, they will certainly not be able to preserve much.

So they are still saying the same thing, we don’t like to eat it.

"Mom, just try it. I kept a lot of this stuff. If you don't believe me, go and look in the cellar later. There are two big piles."

Those words. Zhang An is no stranger to this, because his family's conditions were not good in the past. Every time there was something delicious, his parents would tell him that they didn't like to eat it and let him eat it alone.

When he was young, he naively thought that adults didn’t like to eat this or that.

Only when I grow up do I understand that there is nothing adults don’t like to eat. I just want to leave the best for them.

"Ah, those two piles are full of grapes. I thought you had nothing to do. Why did you pile up so much mud in there?"

Wang Fang went into the cellar to get potatoes. When I was there, I discovered the mud dumplings that Zhang An put in.

But she didn't move, because even if it was mud, as long as it was made by her son, he had his own reasons.

At first she thought it was all mud, but to her surprise, it was all grapes.

“These grapes are really delicious, big and sweet. If you don’t know, you might think they are plums. Plums may not be this big.”

Knowing that Zhang An had saved a lot, Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo also had no idea of ​​saving anything.

“Yes, these grapes taste juicy, sweet and sour, and are tender and tender. They don’t look like they have been stored for several months.”

Su Ying thought, even if The last batch of ripe grapes is now at least four or five months old.

Normal grapes will rot after being stored for a few days. Unexpectedly, the grapes that have been stored for several months are no different from the freshly picked ones.

However, the grapes that passed through winter and New Year did give Su Ying a very big surprise.

She was indeed tired of eating other fruits, but with such delicious grapes, she felt that she could keep eating them.

"Zhang An, how did you think of this method? It can be preserved for such a long time. Not only is it not rotten, but it is also so fresh."

"Actually, this is not what I thought of. I saw it accidentally when I was reading a book. I like to do these weird things, so I gave it a try, and unexpectedly I saved it all."

Zhang An is now used to it. Anything that cannot be explained is pushed into books.

Because people nowadays believe that there is a golden house in the book.
