After returning from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, he changed into old clothes and shoes from home under the pretext of "going up the mountain to catch rabbits and pheasants". In order to carry prey conveniently, Zhou Qing and the old lady specially sewed a special bag for him. Some cloth bags similar to those used by horses and donkeys have bags on both sides, connected by four ropes in the middle. It can be hung on the crossbeam of a bicycle, and the rope is fixed to prevent the bag from slipping backwards. When going up the mountain, the bag can be untied and carried on both shoulders, with a bag on the front chest and back. This time, Chen Feng changed a mountainous area. He came to find wild goats. He completed the nearly 40-kilometer journey in one hour.

He controlled his strength to prevent damage to his bike.

When he went up the mountain, he encountered a dilapidated mountain temple on the mountain road.

The mountain temple was very small. It was not the kind of big house in novels where people could hide from the rain and live. It was just a pile of stone slabs about one meter high. It was square and about the size of a chicken coop.

There was a stone tablet inside, engraved with four traditional Chinese characters "God of Yanshan".

The surroundings were dug and leveled, but because no one had repaired it for many years, it was overgrown with weeds.

At first he thought it was a cemetery.

But he thought the tomb would not be so small, so he took a closer look.

Because of this world, he had a certain respect for the unknown existence.

He took out an orange, a fish, and a pheasant egg and placed them on the stone slab of the mountain temple.

"Grandpa Mountain God, I hope I can meet a black goat, preferably a male one."

"If I meet one, I will promise that next time I will treat you to nine incense sticks, the best roast duck and roast chicken, and a bottle of Xifeng wine."

Chen Feng bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the Mountain God Temple. After the ceremony, he continued to climb the mountain with Lai Fu.

It was still the old rules. First, walk quickly for 17 or 18 miles, away from the hunting area of ​​ordinary hunters, enter the deep mountain area, and then go to the valley and stream to look for prey.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Woof woof!"

Lai Fu was so scared that he ran back from the front, with a hare in his mouth.

It won't bite the rabbit to death when it's not hungry.

Chen Feng tied up the unlucky rabbit and put it in the bag on his shoulder, and put Lai Fu in the bag on his back.

He carefully found the location of the gunshot.

After walking a mile, he stood on a high place and looked at the valley.

"Damn, the army."

In front of them was a 12-man reinforcement squad, all holding 56 semi-automatic rifles, with fierce firepower.

Five unlucky wild wolves became their sacrifices.

In addition, the two of them also carried two yellow sheep on their backs.

Yellow sheep, also known as Mongolian gazelles, are wild migratory species, with more than a few million at their peak.

In the 1980s and 1990s, there were more than 1 million wild yellow sheep living in the Inner Mongolia prairie, and they were found in Hebei and Sijiucheng.

Then, in the 21st century, they were almost extinct!

"What a pity!"

Chen Feng sighed inwardly. To be able to support five wolves, there must be a lot of prey in this valley, maybe there are wild yellow sheep.

But if someone else has a reinforcement squad here, they will be scolded if they get close to them.

Turning around and leaving the valley, less than 500 meters away, they saw a little yellow sheep.

The little yellow sheep was so scared when it saw Chen Feng that it ran away.

"Stop, don't run!"

Chen Feng immediately chased after it.

This little yellow sheep should have run out of the valley, and it had consumed a lot of physical strength. When it met Chen Feng, a life with extraordinary physical strength, it became his captive in just one minute.

Forcefully opened the sheep's legs and looked behind.

Male!

"I will give you a black wife, don't despise it. If you are lucky in the future, I will give you a few yellow wives."

Putting the little sheep into the space, Chen Feng completed his goal and went down the mountain to go home.

Back to the roadside, riding a bicycle back, passing by a small town, someone was selling grapes on the roadside.

Thanks to spending these days in the Beihai Library, Chen Feng knew that Hebei has a history of growing grapes for hundreds of years.

Huailai County, the northwest neighbor of Sijiu City, is known as the "Hometown of Chinese Grapes". Together with Bordeaux, France, and California, the world-famous grape producing areas, it is known as the three major golden areas of world grape planting at 40 degrees north latitude.

The cultivation of "Huailai grapes" is well-known throughout the country for its long history, large-scale production and good quality, especially for white milk grapes and longan grapes.

White milk grapes are a tribute to the court and a good product for state banquets, and longan grapes are "the best grapes in the north".

"Pearl".

August to October is the season when grapes mature.

Most of the grapes in the Sijiucheng Cannery come from Huailai County.

"Uncle, how do I change?"

Chen Feng rode his bicycle over and took a look at these purple-red grapes, and was immediately attracted.

This is Longyan grape, which is nearly round, with large berries, juicy, transparent flesh, and sweet and sour taste. Juicy and sweet, the sugar content is generally 15-18%.

Longyan grape plants have strong growth potential, are drought-resistant and late-ripening, like sandy soil, and have a high fruiting branch rate.

"Grain plus cloth coupons, five catties of coarse grains, three feet of cloth coupons, and one catty of grapes."

Seeing Chen Feng's dress, the farmer uncle thought he was a factory buyer and said, "I don't want money, I just want grain and grain coupons. You can also have industrial coupons. I want to go to the city to buy an iron pot. "

Chen Feng knew that this was caused by the Great Steel Production Campaign.

In the past few years, many families, guided by patriotic sentiment, blindly and fanatically followed the trend and donated their iron pots.

As a result, the big pot meals are gone now. Each family eats their own meals, but they lack pots. They don't have tickets and coupons, so they can only cook in clay pots.

"I don't have industrial coupons, but I have sweet potatoes and oil. Do you want them?"

Chen Feng pretended to take something out of the bag, but actually took out three sweet potatoes and a bottle of peanut oil.

"Just give me a pound of grapes. Three sweet potatoes must weigh four or five pounds. Needless to say, this bottle of oil, you can't buy so much."

Seeing that he had taken advantage, the farmer uncle borrowed the scale of the small market next door without saying a word and weighed a pound of grapes for him.

"This is the last batch of ripe grapes grown by my family, but they are the sweetest."

"In order to prevent birds from eating them, my son watched them every day and didn't even eat one himself."

Chen Feng asked, "Do you have any more at home? "

The farmer shook his head and said, "No more, this is the last batch. If you don't pick the grapes after mid-month, they will rot."

If the grapes are not picked in time after they are ripe, the fruits will rot due to the evaporation of water and the action of microorganisms.

Mid-October is the limit of ripening for late-ripening grapes in the north. Generally, they are picked in the first ten days of the month to prevent rot.

Chen Feng exchanged sweet potatoes and peanut oil for grapes and rode away on his bicycle. He picked a few grapes on the way, washed them with well water, and ate them on the spot.

"It's really sweet!"

He spit out the grape seeds and threw them into the orchard.

He can grow longan grapes.
