Chapter 514 Shooting the Crane
Yu Qian felt strange.
Bai Huining is even more like this.
Not to mention the joy and surprise after seeing the little clouded leopard.
It’s not like they haven’t been to the zoo.
But how can the animals in the zoo compare to those actually encountered outside, let alone those raised by others?
It feels like the legendary stories Yu Qian told are actually happening in front of you, and you have even begun to imagine the love-hate drama between Little Leopard and Chen Ling's family.
Originally, yesterday she didn’t go to the mountain to see the red-crowned cranes. Yu Qian told her that the mountains were dangerous and that egrets and red-crowned cranes were annoying.
She is still a little regretful and unhappy.
But the little leopard I saw today was a little clouded leopard I had never heard of before. All the little emotions in my heart were thrown out of the sky.
It's a pity that this cute and cute little clouded leopard is not allowed to be touched, otherwise this trip would really be complete.
But that’s okay.
When Chen Ling and the others were driving the ox cart on their second trip to the reservoir dam to transport things and set up stalls, they took them to the forest behind the Earth Temple to have a look at the egrets' nests. Some are in the trees, and some are in the tall grass, and they have begun to lay eggs.
Across the tall and lush grass, it is also a very novel feeling to secretly watch the egrets squawking in the grass, hatching eggs and feeding each other.
Bai Huining even began to fantasize about the post-marriage honeymoon that became popular in Beijing. Instead of going elsewhere, she would come here in the future.
The little romance in my heart is causing trouble.
Not even realizing that Yu Qian’s true nature had been completely exposed, he started to take Ruirui everywhere to chase birds.
……
It’s quite fun to set up a stall on the reservoir dam.
Due to the large number of tourists coming to Chenwangzhuang several times before, the small traders and hawkers are already familiar with the road.
So early in the morning, we put out a bunch of food and fun things.
The villagers in Chenwangzhuang also put out their own things.
For example, some cereals such as peanuts, soybeans, mung beans, adzuki beans, etc.
There are also those selling tobacco leaves, bamboo weaving, farm tools, hunting equipment, and clothes.
Chen Ling is with them in this village.
Next to Wang Lihui who sells clothes.
I put out mats and curtains with my father-in-law, and he wrote the four characters "Excellent Wheat Seeds" on the sign. Then the family sat together, with a beautiful white buffalo lying behind him. Graze slowly.
The little milk baby climbing up and down next to the white buffalo is still very eye-catching.
Wang Susu also followed.
But after a while, two good sisters, Qin Qiumei and Zhong Xiaoyun, came to see her. They said they were here to attend the temple fair. Wang Susu took them for a walk, and then called Bai Huining and went back together.
Only Chen Ling and the others are left here.
"Rui Rui, come and play quickly, I will take you to buy food."
Liu Nier and the others were shouting.
After the children called Ruirui, the adults also called Chen Ling.
"Fugui, it's ten o'clock, come here and let off the cannon."
It was Chen Dazhi and Chen Baoshuan calling him.
It’s the first temple fair today, and at the end of the day, cannons will be fired. This is a salute.
At this time, many people rush to release it.
This is just for fun.
“Coming.”
Chen Ling stood up and jumped out. Together, they untied a large plate of firecrackers from the sack and then put them away with a bang.
After setting off the firecrackers and setting off the firecrackers, Ruirui followed a group of bears in the village and watched under a big tree not far away. They stuck out their butts and shrunk their heads. They imitated others and blocked up. ears, laughing non-stop.
Even the vendors were busy.
After the cannons were fired, around noon, the village began to beat gongs and drums, and suddenly, the atmosphere really felt like a temple fair.
This time it became lively, and many people even came to inquire about and buy Chen Ling’s wheat seeds.
"Good fellow, Fugui, why are you so arrogant?"
"That's right, why do you still need to set up a stall?"
It's the old man from the rural animal husbandry station. I brought my son-in-law, stationmaster Li, to see the livestock.
Today's temple fair, there are many livestock sellers at the intersection east of the reservoir.
“Let’s take a look, we’re still selling wheat seeds. How much can we get for them?”
"Hahaha, I'm here to play. It's the first year's temple fair in our village. Let's join in the fun. Big Brother goes home for dinner at noon."
"..."
"Rich? Yes? What is Chen Fugui, the tiger hunter, doing? "
"Who knows what he is selling? Hey, uncle, is that what Chen Fugui from Qianmen Village is selling? "
When many people heard his name, they also learned about the power of his high-quality wheat seeds from the local villagers guarding the merit box.
It has high yield, plump grains and strong disease resistance.
Many people were moved after listening to it.
Think about it, it’s the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and it won’t be long before the autumn harvest.
Wheat should be planted after the autumn harvest.
Now that we have encountered such good wheat seeds, it is time to prepare.
If wheat seeds are available in your own village, you can just exchange them for the same weight of wheat.
But since Chen Ling sells it at a stall, it must be a little more expensive than ordinary wheat.
But this is something that most rural people can afford.
In addition, the land in the mountains is small, so there are not many wheat seeds to buy.
It can be done for three to five yuan.
It looks inconspicuous, as if no one is buying it, but in fact, people keep coming to ask.
Not long after noon, several large bags of wheat seeds were sold out. Since there were so many people coming one after another, even the mats and curtains put out by the father-in-law were slowly sold out.
The prices of farm products at such gatherings and temple fairs are not very high.
So no one who bought it felt that they had made a loss. On the contrary, after buying it, they all said that they had bought something from the tiger-fighting hero. They were all beaming and shouting when they met everyone.
……
"Dad, Fanfan~"
A chubby little baby was riding on a big golden dog, smiling and waving his little hand at Chen Ling.
Next to her was Gao Xiulan, carrying a basket and picking some vegetables in the village yard.
"Lingzi, call your dad, go home for dinner."
"Come on, come on."
Chen Ling rolled up a few urea bags, weighed them with a small star pole, put them on the bullock cart, shouted at the crowd to get out of the way, and slowly drove out.
"Fugui, can't you go out to the stall this afternoon?"
"Go out, I'll come over when I have nothing to do. My father-in-law is here anyway."
"Okay. , then I will help you occupy the position.”
“Okay.”
Chen Ling smiled at Wang Lihui and nodded, then shouted to her father-in-law who was bargaining with someone at a tobacco stall not far away: "Dad, let's go, go home for dinner first."
While shouting, he The bullock cart arrived at the entrance of the village.
He first picked up Ruirui, the brat from Xiaojin, and rubbed his little face: "There are so many people, and you are still riding a dog everywhere, so you are not afraid of being abducted by beggars. Go back and see if your mother spanks you. "
In these days, going to the market is okay. If there is a temple fair, there will always be beggars coming early. Not far from the place where the incense is offered, people are sitting or lying, most of them pretending to be blind, mute, disabled with rotten legs, or with their arms open and no clothes on in winter, etc.
Used to gain sympathy.
There is always a shortage of people who come to burn incense and do good deeds and give them a few change.
But among these beggars, there are sometimes human traffickers who abduct women and children.
"Nothing, Ruirui has been a good boy today, so he followed Liu Nier Xizi to watch the fireworks, bought some snacks, and stayed here while I washed my clothes. There’s no need to run around.”
The old lady put the vegetable basket on the cart, picked up the little guy and said with a smile, “Besides, no one dares to approach him with our two big dogs watching. .”
Chen Ling knew this, so he dared to let him run around and play for a while.
As he said that, the father-in-law squeezed out of the crowd, walked over and got on the bullock cart, shook his head and sighed: "The old man selling tobacco leaves is really a pit stone, smelly and hard, and he doesn't give any advantage at all. "
The old lady glanced at him: "It would be better if you didn't buy it, and you would save money."
"I can't explain you."
My father-in-law is unhappy.
Immediately he smiled at Chen Ling and said, "The tobacco leaves in Fenglei Town are not as good as those here. I will buy some and smoke them back."
Chen Ling also planted some wild tobacco leaves in Dongtian, but the tobacco was too strong, and my father-in-law was Can't smoke it.
So I just say that if the tobacco is good for smoking, it doesn’t matter if it costs a few cents more, so you don’t have to waste time.
“Yes, yes.”
Wang Cunye chuckled, but looking at him like that, it was obvious that he didn’t listen.
The family just drove the ox cart back to the farm from the outside of the village.
......
With guests here and friends coming to attend the temple fair, the lunch meal today was naturally much richer.
After Wang Qingwen and Su Ligai came back from picking mushrooms in the mountains, Su Ligai had already stewed the bacon. When the bacon was soft, she cut some fresh mountain mushrooms into it.
In addition, some dried mushrooms, fungus and other things were added.
Then he took out a bottle of light tea oil and made a plate of cold vegetables.
Chen Ling took out a small basin of fish from the water tower.
I cooked some hard vegetables in the kitchen.
The remaining mountain donkey meat is fried, which is considered braised.
The cured duck was stir-fried with chili peppers, and a large elbow was heated in the pot. The elbow has a simple salt mouth, which is suitable for eating with a dipping dish.
After the meal was served, everyone sat around and shouted incense.
Each person was holding a large bowl, and Chen Ling used a wooden spoon to serve them rice, which was filled to the top.
When Bai Huining saw him, he quickly said that he couldn’t eat so much.
Chen Ling had already scooped out a large spoonful of bacon stewed mushrooms from the pot and poured it on top.
A tantalizing smell of meat touched my nose.
Bai Huining couldn't say what he wanted to say next. He swallowed uncontrollably, sat back next to Yu Qian and immersed himself in eating.
After she finished eating, Wang Susu scooped out a full spoonful and spread it on top of the rice.
Bai Huining didn't even bother to say thank you and just ate.
I can sort of understand what Yu Qian said. This meal is delicious. It’s really not an exaggeration at all.
Chen Ling had already eaten a large bowl of rice at this time. While serving the rice, he said to a few people: "I won't drink at noon. I will cook crayfish for you and drink some cold beer in the evening. The weather is perfect." It’s appropriate.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Huining was already a little full and had the illusion of wanting to growl.
After eating, the girl rubbed her eyes a little naively and choked with sobs: "Brother Ling, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you are so happy."
Yu Qian screamed strangely next to him when he saw this. He said jokingly: "It's over, I'm crying because of Yummy."
This made Bai Huining clenched his little fist and hammered it.
Everyone laughed together.
……
After dinner.
Yu Qian was strolling in the orchard with his little girlfriend.
Bai Huining couldn't help but said: "Brother Ling and sister-in-law are so nice. When I get along with them, I feel like relatives I have known for a long time. It is very comfortable. No wonder you are willing to come here to play."
"Yes, you know the old man I met last time. That old boy is a bad guy with a lot of trouble. But when he comes to Fugui, he doesn't want to play tricks. Humans will always live a lifetime. You need to have a few good friends that you can get along with.”
Yu Qian smiled freely, pointed at the farm and said, "This is it."
Whether it is Chen Lingxian Yun Yehe or Chen Ling has no ambitions, anyway, it is because of this that many people are doing it for business. Those who make money and get to know him will eventually become good friends.
But if you always think about making money, then it is definitely not interesting.
The birdsong in the orchard in the afternoon is not as loud as in the early morning.
The frog's cry also seemed weak.
In the small river ditch at the foot of the mountain, a huge Qingzhuang stood quietly in the water with its long legs, looking into the water with its head lowered, motionless.
I don’t know how long.
Just hearing a 'wow' sound, Qingzhuang's long beak like a sharp sword suddenly plunged into the water, picked up a big fish, swung it in mid-air, and made a beautiful mouth change, which was strong He held it firmly in his mouth and flew to the top of the tree to enjoy it.
This movement also startled Yu Qian and the pair to turn around suddenly.
"Fugui, are you here, brother Fugui? We are from the provincial TV station."
As luck would have it, a few people came from outside the orchard, dressed in human-like clothes.
Knowing that something might be wrong, Yu Qian quickly replied: "Here he is, in Zhuangzi, coaxing the children to sleep."
The purpose of these people's visit is very simple.
It was during this time that I heard that red-crowned cranes and egrets came to Chenwangzhuang, and they built nests and laid eggs, as if they were ready to settle down.
In this year and month, it is obviously a big news for them locally.
What's more, a thousand-year-old giant turtle has appeared here before.
With such a series of connections, that guy, when the audience takes a look, it is obvious that this place is different, and there is something magical about it.
Looking for Chen Ling, because I have been here a few times before, I know him, and I also lived in the farm briefly.
Getting along with Chen Ling's family is obviously different from the villagers.
In addition, they also know the relationship between Chen Ling, Zhao Yubao and others.
Didn’t you see that Zhao Yubao’s article was all about him?
However, after Chen Ling knew their purpose, he replied to them: "We can't take pictures. It's the egg-laying period recently. If disturbed, there is a possibility of abandoning the nest."
It was not easy. People have moved here and want to settle down here. If this thing scares them away, isn't this just looking for trouble?
When the TV station heard that this was also the case, several people pondered for a while.
Question: "Is it okay to just take two shots from a distance without shooting for a long time?"
"That's okay, morning and night, early morning and night, when their defenses are the lowest. You can shoot farther away at this time."
Chen Ling nodded.
"Let me tell you, I still have to ask you, my rich brother, about this matter first.
Otherwise, this accident may lead to bad things with good intentions."
The little leader who took the lead rubbed his hands and said awkwardly.
Chen Ling smiled and didn't care: "The egrets are okay. There are only a few red-crowned cranes. We in the village only dare to get closer and look at the egrets."
Recently, egrets and red-crowned cranes have become more and more aggressive in protecting their nests. , If it were in the past, if those bear babies were pecked, the parents would go up the mountain in the morning and poke the egret's nest.
However, in the past two years, it has been Prince Turtle and the Crane, and the villagers have paid more and more attention to these things. They also think that their village is a geomantic treasure.
Knowing that the red-crowned cranes were building nests and laying eggs here, they were strictly ordered not to go to the mountains to cause trouble.
Don’t even think about stealing eggs and taking them home to hatch and raise baby cranes.
