Go back to the valley to farm

Chapter 669
When Shirly and the others came over, Li Junge began to act like an elder: "Okay, okay, why are you crying every time? Don't expect us to cut the rice in the experimental field of Columbia University, and fill the holes you dug yourself!"

"The rice flower fish that you haven't finished eating will be returned to the field for you when the rice seedlings are strong. By then, the loach and eel will be fattened, and the lychee and longan will be ripe. Then come to Lijiagou to have fun."

"Let's talk about it first. There will be no one to help you next time. You take care of yourself with the old and take care of yourself. You can use the harvest to exchange for the necessities of life. At that time, Ayin and I will just come to eat!"

A group of students are gearing up, no problem, we don't believe that even the six-year-old Lijiagou doll can't compare!But let's say it first, Dadu and they borrowed half of it, they are all good at finding mushrooms!
Aunt Bai smiled and watched the sad atmosphere of parting gradually turn into joy, and whispered to Li Junge: "Pi Wa, what's the point of bringing the old with the new?"

The old man said: "This is the tradition of our Chinese farming civilization. It is not enough for the baby to learn the skills, but also to support the family. It has been passed down from generation to generation and spread. Isn't that how the Li family came from Shanghe to Xiahe? ?”

Li Junge nodded with a smile: "The old cat sleeps on the kang, and it is passed down from generation to generation. That's what it says."

Aunt Bai suddenly realized: "Oh, I really didn't think of this! It should be, your 5000-year civilization, isn't it just passed down like this!"

Whether you like it or not, Wuxi No. [-] still starts slowly, and with the boat full of treasure and reluctance, it draws sparkling waves and sails towards the mouth of the Hongshui River.

There are too many people, and it is not good to send anyone off. Li Junge and A Yin had to stop on the pier this time and watch them go away.

When I got home, I just opened the yacht's driving instructions and looked at it for a while, and I felt that there were people coming to the fish pond again.

Looking up, it was the little pharmacist and the old man Shihe who came.

Seeing that Li Junge was reading, the old man Shi He smiled flatteringly and said, "Pi Wa, what about reading?"

Li Junge stood up, pulled out the box from under the bed, hung the box around his waist, picked up a shuttle stick in one hand and said, "Let's go."

The old man Shi He said, "Ah? Where are you going?"

Li Junge said angrily: "Pretend! Let's go and see the homestead."

The old man Shihe laughed and said: "Just say you are a sensible person!"

Li Junge randomly stuffed some dry food into his backpack, took a kettle and pan, and led the two of them towards the terraced fields.

The rice seedlings in the terraced fields are already very strong, and in a few days when the water is stored, it is time to release the new year's rice flower fry.

Cutting from the running trail in the middle of the mountain, passing through a large area of ​​fern humus and virgin forest, the three of them came to an open area.

Li Junge said: "It's here, let's see how it goes."

The little pharmacist took out the compass again.

The old man Shihe glanced at the little pharmacist, and didn't bother to bother him, and said, "Where is the lychee tree you mentioned?"

Li Junge pointed to the two huge tree stumps at the foot of the back mountain: "Here, there, but the mother tree is dead, and there are still a few white tea plants on the back mountain."

Seeing that the little pharmacist was still making gestures with a compass, the old man Shihe pulled him over: "Little pharmacist, Fengshui first depends on the big picture. For Taoism, the first choice is famous mountains and Lingfeng. Choosing famous mountains is the so-called 'small mountains have no right God', the selection of Lingfeng is the so-called 'heaven and earth intersecting', Fengshui is a small way, as long as this major principle is mastered, and the convenience of life is taken care of, it will be over."

"Secondly, the land where the four spirits are sheltered is the best, the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu, just use the image of the land."

"Then this kind of place pays attention to a 'green forest and green spring, the house is secluded but obstructed, and the outline of the land is hidden'."

"For example, here, the continuous mountain on the left is Qinglong, the hillside on the right separates the terraced fields, it is White Tiger, the thick and thick one behind is Xuanwu, and the sharp peak opposite the valley in front is Suzaku."

"This is about eight points, and then the stream below smells the water but can't see the water, and it can reach the stream after several slopes. This corresponds to the 'Taishang Santai'. The mountain stream on the left comes in from under Qinglong and Suzaku. , go out from under the White Tiger and Suzaku around half a circle, this is 'surrounding the mountains and embracing the water'."

"The lower part is the 'air outlet', the upper part is the 'water outlet', collectively called the 'air vein', so when we build the house, we put the gate facing the exit of the valley, which is for 'receiving air and storing wind', and the back door is facing the water vein. , for the purpose of 'cleansing the heart and cleansing the heart'. Well, the direction of the house and the direction of the gate have been determined, and it is roughly considered to be surveyed."

The little pharmacist was dumbfounded: "Is this the end?"

The old man Shihe laughed and said: "There is actually another important reason for this fast, because the feng shui direction here is exactly in line with the north, south, east, and west directions. This is definitely a good place that was carefully surveyed by an expert before. Planting trees for future generations to enjoy the shade' doesn't have to be as strenuous as Kanyu Xindi."

"Little pharmacist, you have to remember that the most important thing in Fengshui is to be flexible in mind. If you don't pick up what you have already, you must find a new way. You are a fool. Go, look at the foundation."

When they came to the foundation, the old man Shihe looked at it for a while, and then said to the little pharmacist: "Look, this is the foundation site of the gate, is it just like what I said, facing the mouth of the stream?"

After speaking, he looked around again, and then said to Li Junge: "It's really clean."

Li Junge was triumphant: "That is, they are all built by Qingmin Stone. Now, except for those placed in the warehouse, most of them have become inkstones."

The old man Shihe said to Li Junge: "There are many famous mountain monks in the world, and the auspicious place of 'Phoenix Returning to the Nest' has already been occupied by Guoshan. How about leaving the "Four Spirits' Wings" to the old Taoists?"

Li Junge said angrily: "It sounds like I have suffered a lot. This place just sounded better than my new home. At least two more spirit beasts came out."

The old man Shihe laughed and said: "It's not the same thing. Living here is inconvenient and far away from the world. The place sheltered by the four spirit beasts is suitable for Taoist sects to build temples, but not necessarily suitable for starting a family and starting a business. This is called 'everything'..."

Looking at Li Junge's suspicious eyes: "Look at you, you don't trust people again..."

Li Junge said: "I have always been skeptical about these supernatural things. Forget it, if you like this place, you can go to Ayin. I don't know what procedures should be followed in religious places. You can go to a pig to repair a house, anyway. Nothing to do with me."

The old man Shihe said: "The procedures are all right. Zhengyi's concept of descendants will be valued everywhere. The construction is not a problem. It is just a matter of saying that the old way needs to be improved."

Li Junge rolled his eyes and said, "You can really blow it! Wait! You must have a lot of people in your pocket, and you have to talk to Brother Kaizi about this, or he will really run away Damn..."

The old man Shihe was speechless: "My immeasurable celestial being! If Xiaotang is willing to set up this Taoist temple, he will also accumulate blessings and eliminate disasters for his old father, okay?! How did you say that... It's hard for you to chat! Hurry up and get some food, I'll take the little pharmacist around and explain the surrounding layout to him."

After speaking, he walked away leisurely with his hands behind his back, leaving Li Junge there to prepare a picnic at noon.

Lunch was really simple. Li Junge remembered that there were several diseases and insect pests in the bamboo forest in Houshan. Now it was the right time. He went up the mountain with his back and found a sick bamboo. He groped for a good part and chopped it open. Big white maggot-like worms.

Each one is three to five centimeters long and fat in the shape of a spindle. Li Junge reached out and picked it up inside the small pot and covered it. He secretly thought that this place is nothing for the old Taoist. After the old Taoist temple is established, the surrounding mountains and forests must be treated. It’s a pity. It's a good dish.

This thing is bamboo worm, also known as bamboo maggot, bamboo shoot maggot, it is bamboo shoot worm, which is the larva of bamboo shoot borer.

The shoot borer lays eggs on the giant bamboo shoots, and then gnaws into the young shoots. When the shoots gradually grow into bamboo, they also parasitize into the bamboo tube, eat from the bamboo along the bamboo joints, and finally hide in the roots of the bamboo. Pupation, after a period of time pupation out.

Then, the little boy in Lijiagou grabbed bamboo thread and put it on one leg, and the two ends faced each other, turning into a toy like a small electric fan, which became one of the important sources of income for Meixian Industrial Co., Ltd.

I cut two more tender bamboos and found three nests, so there are about a hundred of them.

The Miao family even likes to eat this stuff raw. I heard A Yin and A Dai discuss it, saying that it has a creamy sweet taste.

Thinking of this, Li Junge couldn't help shivering, the Miao sisters were indeed tough, and even he dared not eat them raw.

Bring the bamboo worms back to the foundation of the house, fill a pot of water, pick up firewood and light it, and when the water in the pot starts to bubble, pour the bamboo worms in the small pot, scald them, and then drain them.

He reboiled the water, threw some white tea leaves, coriander root, and Sanyue 萢, chopped up the wild water chestnuts picked when fetching water, and boiled it into a pot of tea.

On the other side, refuel, dig out a few steamed buns that are used as dry food from the bag, slice them, and start frying the steamed buns.

Deep-fry a pot of steamed bun slices, fry them with bamboo worms, then take them out and drain them.

Leave the base oil in the pot, add shredded ginger, Chinese prickly ash, diced dried chili and sauté until fragrant, pour the bamboo worms in and turn it over a few times, sprinkle with fine salt and it's out of the pot.

After blowing a whistle, the old man Shihe and the little pharmacist came out of nowhere.

The old man Shihe shouted to Li Junge from a distance: "Pi Wa, there seems to be a lot of fish in the stream below!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "Come again next time, I have delicious food today, I need to really taste it, don't complicate the taste!"

The little pharmacist came over and his eyes lit up: "Wow! It's been a long time since I've eaten this!"

The old man Shihe also knew this: "It really is a good thing!"

Li Junge said: "The Miao family also has a way of stir-frying. Instead of deep-frying, just put a little shredded green onion, which can better retain the original flavor."

The flavor is preserved, but the color and shape are also preserved. The old man Shihe and the little pharmacist also shivered together. It seems that the dish is also a challenge for them.

Li Junge wrapped half of the fried bamboo worms first and said: "This is the favorite of Ayin and Adai, so I have to wrap some for them."

The remaining three sat down to eat.

The old man Shihe's chopsticks flew up and his mouth was full of oil: "It's delicious! How did you find Piwa?"

Li Junge said: "This thing is only found in the big Nan bamboo within two years. You see that the leaves of the bamboo are slightly withered, and there are a few ant holes under the bamboo. There are probably bamboo insects in the bamboo. But if there are too many and big ant holes, then It’s over, the bamboo worms have been caught by the ants first.”
