Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 371 Going to the roof to dry vegetables

Gao Mingcheng stayed in the village for three days. After finishing the work in the fields, he went for a walk in the mountains to check on wild boars, muntjac and other animals.

Last year, due to various reasons, the number of wild boars in the mountains dropped sharply, so Gao Mingcheng had not gone hunting in the mountains yet this year.

If we want to pursue sustainable development, we must not drain the lake.

After observation, he found that there were already many young wild boars in the mountains. Nowadays, with no natural enemies, wild boars are a species that reproduces very quickly. Therefore, if no one hunts them, in a few years, wild boars will overrun the mountains.

However, I am here and cannot tolerate your overflow!

Gao Mingcheng looked at the little wild boar with loving eyes. Little wild boar, please grow up quickly. When winter comes, I will make you into stir-fried pig head meat, cold pig ears, stewed bones, wind-blown meat...

The wild boar didn't eat it, but Gao Mingcheng caught half a bag of bullfrogs in a pond in the mountains. Bullfrogs are also a species that reproduces very quickly. Last year, there was no dry water in a lake in the mountains, and some aquatic animals were still alive and well. This year During spring floods, the water in the mountains flows down when it is full, and finally gathers in major reservoirs. In these waters, there are some small fish and fish eggs.

Therefore, even if no one releases fish fry in the reservoir, there are still some fish gradually, but not many. When the water rises next year, people in the village can carry buckets to the reservoir to catch fish again.

He carried half a bag of bullfrogs down the mountain, but did not put them back at his home. In the past few days, he had been eating at Grandma Xi's house.

So I picked up my things and went to Grandma Xin's door.

He divided the bullfrog in the bag into two parts, one for his parents' house and one for Gao Shouwang's house. Then he said to Grandma Xi, "I plan to go to the county tomorrow and come back when the rice is ripe." Harvest.”

Grandma Xi said: "Don't worry, I have prepared the rice seeds for late rice."

Since Gao Mingcheng's family split, he has never prepared the rice seeds for this acre of land by himself. He has received them from Grandma Xi's family.

In addition to rice seeds, Grandma Xi will also give him some potato seeds, which saves him a lot of trouble.

There is no need to say too many words of gratitude. Between people, you help me and I help you, to jointly resist risks and pursue happiness together.

Early the next morning, Gao Mingcheng was ready to return to the county.

Before going to the county, he specially took his two dogs into the mountains and successfully hunted more than a dozen rabbits. He gave two rabbits to the two dogs on the spot and let them eat them to their heart's content.

Then he went to Xiaofu Mountain and picked the fourteen peaches.

When a fruit tree bears fruit for the first time, the number is always small, but once it bears fruit, there will be a lot the next year.

Therefore, Gao Mingcheng is looking forward to next year, when the mountains will be filled with fruit trees and fruits!

In addition to rabbits and peaches, vegetables from the ground are naturally also essential.

Gao Mingcheng took all the vegetables he could get, otherwise it would be a waste to put them in the field. In this way, half a cart of vegetables was packed.

He said goodbye to the two dogs, but the two dogs followed the tractor all the way to Junling. When they saw Gao Mingcheng's tractor turning onto the national highway and speeding up, the two dogs stopped and watched Gao Mingcheng reluctantly. Leave.

People have feelings, and so do dogs.

……

When we returned to the county, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

Parking the tractor in the backyard of the clothing store, Gao Mingcheng started unloading the goods.

Hearing the noise, many beauties came over.

Her belly was getting bigger and she was wearing a loose maternity dress.On both wrists, there is a bracelet, which adds a bit of feminine charm.

"Why did you bring so many vegetables? It's going to be bad if you don't finish all the food in this weather." Duo Mei felt happy and sad when she saw the various vegetables in the half cart.

There is no refrigerator at home. The vegetables that look fresh today will be spoiled tomorrow.

Gao Mingcheng said: "Give everyone a share and dry the rest." There is a lot of beauty but there is no place to dry it.

In the village, there is a big yard for her to dry her things, but in the county, even if she has a house, there is not much space to dry her things.

Gao Mingcheng said: "Just put it on the rooftop to dry. It will dry in a day or two."

On the roof of the building, there is a concrete rooftop in front. There is a square opening here. With the help of a ladder, people can go up to the roof and check the condition of the tiles in time.

And now, it’s also a great place to dry vegetables.

Many beauties are still worried because there is no ladder at home.

Gao Mingcheng said: "You don't have to worry, I have my own way. Just chop the vegetables at home and scald them until they are cooked."

Then he sorted the things into two small ones and one large one. The small one was given to Gao Guobing and the other to Huang Dazhi, which was enough for them to eat for a day.

Gao Mingcheng let Duo Mei watch over the remaining big pile.

Cowpeas and eggplants can be sun-dried raw, or blanched half-cooked and then mixed with salt and then sun-dried. As for peppers, red peppers should be chopped directly and sun-dried, while green peppers must be blanched in boiling water and then mixed with salt and sun-dried.

Afraid that there was not enough salt at home, Gao Mingcheng went to a nearby store and bought more than a dozen packs of salt.

Duo Mei was about to take care of it herself, but Gao Shufang ran over and said, "Second sister-in-law, you go outside to look at the store. I'll be here!"

With that said, Gao Shufang occupied the position of the chopping board, ready to chop up what should be chopped.

Gao Mingcheng also smiled and said to Duomei: "Then you go to the store."

Duo Mei had no choice but to go to the clothing store in front of her.

Gao Shufang can handle these dishes, but Gao Mingcheng has to do it himself for the rabbits. This time, he still hasn't peeled them. He needs to scald them with boiling water, and then use fire to burn the remaining fine hairs on the skins.

I was busy until noon when I finally finished all these things.

After staying at the stove for two hours, Gao Shufang didn't want to cook anymore, so she said, "Second brother, let's have noodles for lunch! Just fry the rabbit offal in a plate."

"Okay." Gao Mingcheng had no objection. He just asked if the noodles at home were enough. After learning that it might not be enough, he went to a nearby store and bought two handfuls of noodles.

This kind of noodles is very thin and salted. When cooking, you only need to add a small amount of salt.

While Gao Shufang was cooking noodles, Gao Mingcheng took all the dishes he had prepared to the third floor, and then moved a stool to the skylight.

In order to prevent rainwater from flowing down, the opening is covered with a thin cement board. If people need to enter or exit, they have to remove the cement board and then go up.

There was no ladder at home, and Gao Mingcheng was too lazy to ask his neighbor to borrow one. He stepped on the stool and reached the cement board above. With just a slight force, the cement board was moved away.

A beam of sunlight shines down from it. In the sky, mottled beams of light are scattered. Fine dust is flying in the beams of light. Occasionally, there are flashes of colorful light.

At this time, many beauties also went up to the third floor.

Gao Mingcheng saw her and said, "You came just in time. I'll climb up later and you can hand the dishes up from below."

Many beauties were about to ask Gao Mingcheng how to climb up, when they saw Gao Mingcheng put his feet on the stool, then grabbed both sides of the skylight with both hands and pushed hard, and his body jumped up. The next second, he was on the rooftop.

Many people were stunned and saw Gao Mingcheng looking down and said: "Pass the dish to me."

"Oh...oh." Many Meis reacted, so one handed the dishes from below, and the other received them from above, and then put the dishes on the tiles to dry.

In the county, they didn't have a big dustpan for drying vegetables, so they could only dry them on tiles. Fortunately, there were no chemical plants nearby and the tiles were very clean.
