Without Wang Dalong and others working here, there are only Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu on the meadow, it seems that the whole world has suddenly quieted down, and there is a very leisurely feeling.

The six full-fledged hounds lay on the grass and basked in the sun, and the three cubs of the lynxes, who were also full, huddled together with Yuan Bao and the others, stretching out their paws to scratch the pups' chins.

These two completely different species, in such a long time of contact, are not wary of each other.

After Lu Lu shoveled the oil from the wolverine's fur and cleaned the stretcher frame, he took a good bath and changed into clean clothes. The strange smell that tainted his body was finally gone.

As for the suit, Chen Xiuyu put it in a wooden basin and carried it to the river, washed it with soap, and then put it on a stone and beat it with a club.

Lu Lu's changed clothes, as long as she sees them, will always appear on the drying rack in the yard where two piles are specially planted and two ropes are tied in a short time.

She is always so hardworking and tries her best to do what she can.

Lu Lv was sitting on the wooden pier in front of the basement, looking at Chen Xiuyu, thinking why he had worked so long, but there was no child.

Chen Xiuyu must be fine.

My own is long enough and thick enough, and I feel that there is no problem.

After thinking about it for a long time, he became more and more suspicious, whether it was because of the rebirth or something changed.

In other words, the time has advanced, and the fate with the child has not yet arrived.

Seeing Chen Xiuyu come back with her clothes, Lu Lu sighed slightly: Let's change positions at night.

Back in the yard, he helped Chen Xiuyu to dry the washed clothes. Lu Lu was dragged by Chen Xiuyu to see the warehouse.

The two warehouses are connected together, Lu Lu asked Wang Dalong and the others to build it bigger, and the wooden door was also made very thick.

They were all used by Lu Lu to stockpile mountain products, but one room was for animal furs, and the other was for things like wild vegetables and mushrooms.

What Chen Xiuyu took him to see was the warehouse where wild vegetables were stored.

There are already more than ten bags of wild vegetables such as bracken, cucumber fragrance, and willow wormwood sprouts that have been carefully processed and dried, plus the mushrooms accumulated over the years.

"They have all been separated, and the rest are ours."

Chen Xiuyu excitedly showed her achievements these days: "This winter's wild vegetables are already enough. And those vegetables I planted are also growing very well. When winter comes, put them away and store them in the cellar. Buy some potatoes, radishes..."

This year's land was cheap from Chen Weiguo. In the corn field, besides corn, there were also soybeans planted in it.As for radishes, potatoes and the like, we can only buy them.

Things are simple, just run to the district when the time comes.

Every winter, in the market in the district, many people will bring these things to sell. Unlike food and meat, which are in short supply and need tickets, they are all grown in their own plots or small plots of land.

In the barn, there is also a lot of food, mainly rice and white flour, and two bags each, and four or five bags of black beans, corn, and oil cakes for the animals.

Every time they go to the district, whether it is Lu Lu or Chen Xiuyu, they try their best to exchange money for tickets and buy food.However, this year's rice and corn are harvested, and after the public grain is paid, next year's grain will not be a big problem.

But still need to buy as much as possible.

The twelve deer and the lonely roe in the meadow must be fed in winter.The stalks of corn and straw must also be collected, and they can be fed to horses or deer.

Lu Lu thought about it carefully: "When this autumn hunting is over, the hazelnuts and pine nuts in the mountains will be almost mature. When you go to the mountains, get more of these things, and we will collect some at that time. "

"Why are you collecting these things?" Chen Xiuyu was a little confused.

"Next year, let's raise more flying dragons. If we can get them, we will raise some other things. These pine nuts can be used for feeding. We can earn that money at any time, but we just keep it. Make it alive, money begets money."

These days, pine nuts, hazelnuts, etc. can’t be sold at a price, and they can be converted to make them food for raising some precious and valuable small animals.

Chen Xiuyu is a smart person, she understood Lu Lv's intentions at once, and nodded with joy.

Later, Lu Lu went to see the seven flying dragons in the cage, and then went to check the situation of the black bee.

The boxes of honey were already full of honey. Looking at the layer of sundries at the bottom of the box, Lu Lu knew that he had work to do.

The beehive must be cleaned frequently, and the nest foundation must be added if it is necessary to add the nest foundation, otherwise the bee colony will mess up the honeycomb inside, which is difficult to take care of.

Beekeeping may seem simple, but it actually requires patience and meticulous work. It is very common for all the bees in the field to be destroyed at once if you are a little sloppy.

For the whole afternoon, Lu Lu was busy with this matter, and Chen Xiuyu also helped, and learned how to take care of it from Lu Lu.

As the evening approached, Wang Demin walked in with a bag.

Lu Lu, who was still busy in the beehive, saw him coming. When Chen Xiuyu went to open the door for Wang Demin, Lu Lu shoveled off a piece of honeycomb without a foundation, built the comb on the inner wall of the beehive, and added a new foundation. Finally, after closing the lid of the beehive, he greeted Wang Demin with a few honeycombs filled with honey.

"Master, why are you free to come here today?"

As Lu Lu said, he handed over a piece of honeycomb to Wang Demin.

Wang Demin took the honeycomb honey, took a bite full of the honeycomb, chewed it comfortably, and then handed the bag in his hand to Lu Lu: "These are the medicinal materials needed to make tiger bone wine. It took me a lot of work to find it all.”

Lu Lu took the bag, opened it, looked at it, and said with a smile, "I'll soak it in the evening...Master, sit in the room."

"Forget it, I think you have to be busy managing your bees..." Wang Demin hesitated.

"What am I busy with, those things, isn't there still tomorrow?"

Lu Lu took Wang Demin and walked home.

Wang Demin laughed: "I actually came here for the two jars of Laolongkou that Big Brother Jiang sent you...I didn't expect this old brother to hide such good things. Usually, it's not that person, you It would be difficult to get some benefits from him.

You kid... I've never seen him take the initiative to give someone something, you better do it! "

While talking, the three of them followed into the house.

Chen Xiuyu ran into the kitchen first to gather fire and started preparing dinner.

Lu Lu invited Wang Demin to sit on the kang, "If you like it, I'll make some for you when you go back."

"Just waiting for your words!" Wang Demin laughed loudly.

"Sit down first, I'll make you some tea!"

When Wang Demin took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the kang, Lu Lu turned around to fetch cups, tea leaves and thermos bottles.

But Wang Demin yelled from behind: "What kind of tea are you making, just pour the wine!"

Lu Lu was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Wang Demin: "I didn't even order food and drink to fill my belly, so I just drank like this, I'm afraid it's not very good!"

"Don't worry, I still have some sense of propriety. Oh, I've been at home for the past two days, and my bum came back to tell your aunt to let me drink less wine. In the end, your aunt took my wine and so on. It's all locked up and it's killing me."

Wang Demin sighed, as if he had been wronged a lot: "I'm a barefoot doctor, and I know very well whether I can drink it. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't have any notes after drinking it."

It's not the first time to eat together. Lu Lu knows that Wang Demin is really good at wine in this respect, and he always controls it in an appropriate amount.

That is, the last time when I came back from Zhang Guangcai Ridge, a group of people gathered at Lu Lu's place, and they were all a little drunk.He couldn't help asking: "Master, could it be that you got drunk at my place last time and got scolded by the aunt when you went back?"

"Talking nonsense, she dares!" Wang Demin glared at Lu Lu.

When Lu Lu saw it, he laughed immediately: "It's obvious that I have hit the mark. Look at you, your face is flushed, and you are impatient... You can drink wine, but it must be in moderation. You have to promise, it's not that I don't want to part with it, it's I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it, and you're getting old anyway."

"It's as long-winded as your aunt, it's okay, I got it, hurry up!"

Wang Demin urged.

When Lu Lu arrived in the kitchen, he asked Chen Xiuyu to fry some peanuts first, and he brought back two bowls of wine in a small bowl. As soon as he put them on the table, Wang Demin couldn't wait to take a sip: "Ah..."

As if drinking this wine was such a refreshing thing, Lu Lu couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

Chen Xiuyu quickly delivered the fried peanuts to the kang table, and the two took chopsticks, drinking and chatting while eating peanuts.

"I used to collect medicine in the mountains with two shanyouzi, one named Zhuzi and the other named Silly Roe. Zhuzi said that if he was a man, he would know how to drink, and Silly Roe was also tempted, and wanted to practice to become a big one.

He used an old tactic-step by step, just as he believed that as long as he didn't stop digging, he would be able to live a good life. "

Wang Demin took a sip of wine, turned his head and looked out the window.

Shanyouzi is what the mountain people call people who often go to the mountains to collect medicines and buy mountain products for money. In simple terms, people who often wander in the mountains can be called Shanyouzi.

Seeing that Wang Demin was in a strange mood, Lu Lu knew that he must have thought of something, so he listened silently without interrupting.

Getting along with older people, Lu Lu has always believed that being a qualified listener is the best respect for them.

After living a lifetime, everyone has their own stories, some stories that are pressed in their hearts but feel uncomfortable.

All they need is someone who can hear them.

This also made Lulu Caodianzi seem to be the reason why the old man patronized more.

"Silly roe deer took time to dig a lot of skullcaps in the mountains, dried more than two catties, went to the supply and marketing agency to change Laobaigan, slowly filled the marching kettle, took it to the shack in the mountains, drank a sip for every meal, and drank it for many days , Drank it all up, he felt that the capacity for alcohol should be almost practiced.

On the [-]th day of August, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, we were on the way to send the collected medicine back to the commune, and there was a lot of excitement. The commune brought half a pig, a bucket of soybean oil, a dozen catties of wine, and five catties of moon cakes from the village. Reward dozens of members in the wheat harvest battle.

Members of the Revolutionary Committee also came to condolences.

But they are all mountain people, careless and muddle-headed, don't care what eyesight they have, who will accompany them to eat, as long as they have something to eat, they are happy.

So, on the flat ground where the tractor turned around, two rows of tables were set up with wooden planks and wooden pier. This is the most ostentatious open-air banquet ever in the mountains. "

When Wang Demin said this, he took another sip of the wine, and chewed four or five peanuts in his mouth one after another with his chopsticks: "We also got some medicinal materials for them to stew meat at the right time, and we managed to mix them in." Eat and drink. Guess what happened?"

"It must be drunk!" Lu Lu said with a smile: "It's so easy to practice this amount of alcohol."

Wang Demin also laughed: "These two mountain oil seeds were on the table, and before they had eaten a few bites of the dishes, they confronted each other with the [-]-degree Laobaigan. As a result, they quickly climbed down the table, and then one of them carried The wild boar I saw when I went up the mountain with the knife, jumped into the nearby water bubble to swim, haha... I can't hold it back!"

Lu Lu was also amused and laughed. He thought it was a sad story, but he didn't expect it to be so cheerful.

But after listening to it, Lu Lu was also a little moved: "Man, it's hard to be a man!" !
