Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 498 Black Tiger’s New Mission
If you stay in the village every day, living day after day, year after year, then time here seems to have stood still.

But if you come back every once in a while, you can be keenly aware of the changes.

For example, the radish that was sown before has now sprouted, and the green radish leaves are pleasing to look at.

The chickens in the chicken coop have not changed much, because after the hen starts laying eggs, it is difficult for it to gain weight, so authentic free-range chickens are basically not too heavy.

Gao Mingcheng found that after not coming back for a few days, there were a lot of eggs.So I planned to take the eggs to the county to sell them today.

Seeing Duomei preparing to clean the house, Gao Mingcheng immediately said: "Don't bother, we can either go to Grandma Xixi's house or Uncle Chen's house to make do with it."

After hearing this, many beauties put down the broom in their hands.

Although Duo Mei's second sister lives nearby, Duo Mei did not propose to go to her second sister's house for dinner because she also knew that her second sister was busy at work. To go to her house for dinner, she would have to wait until around three o'clock in the afternoon to have a meal. Eat a meal.

By then, I'm afraid little Xuxu will be so hungry that he howls.

"Let's go to Grandma Xi's house for dinner. I'll also go to the old village for a walk and talk to Xiuman." Duo Mei said.

"Okay, then you take Xiao Xuxu to talk to your second sister. I'll go to Grandma Xixi's house and ask her to cook more." Gao Mingcheng said.

"Don't go empty-handed, get some eggs." Duo Mei quickly suggested and asked Gao Mingcheng to get more than twenty eggs.

This is how relationships work. When Gao Mingcheng is working alone at home, for the sake of convenience, he can go to Chen Dasong's house for dinner and pay for the meal.

But when you go to eat at Grandma Xi's house, you can't pay for the meal. If you pay for the meal, it will be unfamiliar.

Therefore, it is appropriate to bring something with you.

But when Gao Mingcheng was loading the eggs in the basket, he saw Hei Hu next to him. Hei Hu followed him quietly, his dark eyes revealing wisdom and calmness.

Suddenly, an idea came to Gao Mingcheng's mind. He thought that people who would raise golden retrievers in future generations would give the golden retrievers a small basket and then go shopping.

Golden Retrievers have a high IQ and can perform completely simple tasks after training.

But in Gao Mingcheng’s view, Heihu’s IQ was also good, and when Heihu first came, he lived with him at Grandma Xixi’s house, so Gao Mingcheng found a piece of hemp rope and a piece of paper on it. After writing, he punched a hole in the paper, then passed a hemp rope through the hole and hung it around the black tiger's neck.

"Heihu, go to Grandma Xi's house to help me deliver the letter and give it to Gao Zhuang!" Gao Mingcheng touched Black Tiger's head and gave it an order.

He wanted to know if Black Tiger could complete the order he gave.

"Woof woof." The black tiger seemed to understand. Although it was the first time to execute such an order, it did not hesitate. With the piece of paper hanging around its neck, it ran towards the old village.

The elf and Dahuang also followed behind them, and the three dogs ran out of momentum. The scared little kids playing in the village screamed and got out of the way.

Grandma Xi is illiterate, but both Gao Zhuang and He Xiuman can read. No matter who sees it, they can get this information.

Many beauties were a little dumbfounded when they saw this sexy operation.

She asked questioningly: "Is this really okay?"

Gao Mingcheng spread his hands. This was his first time doing this. He didn't know if it would work.

But it’s not a big problem. They can just go there early at noon. If they haven’t prepared their meals, they can still make them themselves!

Duo Mei was speechless after hearing his fallacy, but she didn't say anything more. She hugged Xiao Xuxu and prepared to talk to her second sister.The two sisters haven't seen each other for a while, and they miss each other. Besides, they still need to talk to the second sister about the third sister.

Seeing Duomei leaving with her child in her arms, Gao Mingcheng was not idle either. Like a landowner, he began to patrol his territory. First, he observed his vegetable plots nearby. Some of these vegetable plots had just been plowed and sown. Some are full of vitality, such as peppers and eggplants, which are still growing well and can continue to be eaten until October.

The sweet potato field is also lush and green, and sweet potato vines are spreading everywhere. It's not the time to dig sweet potatoes now, so we have to wait.

As for the pumpkins and winter melons planted on the slopes, they have also grown fruitful.

Walking along the vegetable field, you will reach the pond at the foot of Xiaofu Mountain.

The water in the pond is still relatively full at the moment. When October comes, the water level will drop due to less precipitation.

In the spring of this year, Gao Mingcheng poured some fry into the pond, and then he didn't care about it anymore. He just let these small fish grow up naturally. Such fish grow slowly, but the meat is delicious and does not have the earthy smell. .

The fish in his pond are usually not eaten. When the water dries up in winter, the big fish are fished out and eaten. As for the small fish, they are allowed to continue to be raised in the pond.

Gao Mingcheng really likes to eat the big catfish that he has raised for several years. Its belly and skin are super delicious!
And there are relatively few fish bones, making it suitable for children to eat.

When passing by the pond, Gao Mingcheng pulled a handful of young grass with itchy hands, crushed it into pieces, and sprinkled it directly into the water.

As soon as the grass fell to the surface, there was movement in the water. It turned out that the greedy grass carp came to look for food.

The reason why grass carp is called grass carp is naturally because it is a fish that eats grass.

They will eat duckweed, aquatic plants, and young grasses growing on land.

It’s just that the fish’s mouth is relatively small, so it’s best to chop it into pieces and feed it.

After teasing the grass carp with tender grass, Gao Mingcheng felt a strange sense of satisfaction and then left. Walking along the pond, there was a shed and a chicken coop at the foot of the mountain.

There are a lot of cassia seeds planted in the wasteland here. The pods of cassia seeds are relatively full now, and harvesting is not far away. In another ten days, when they are fully mature, the whole plant can be cut. Then they are spread out and exposed to the sun, then beaten to remove the shells. Finally, they are dusted with a dustpan and then filtered out and collected.

Gao Mingcheng was staring at Cassia Seed to study, when Chen Dasong and Chen Duofu came down from the mountain.

One of them was carrying a hoe, and the other was holding a machete and a snake.

The two sides met head-on, both smiling.

Chen Dasong shook the snake in his hand and said: "There are many snakes in the mountains now. I am afraid that snakes will eat eggs. Every now and then, I will call Duofu and we will go into the mountains together." Look for snakes and see how the fruit trees are growing.”

"Mingcheng, the skin of the oranges has started to soften and turn yellow. There are quite a lot of fruits this year. If they taste good, they will definitely sell for a good price."

Although the orange tree belongs to Gao Mingcheng, Chen Dasong also sincerely hopes that Gao Mingcheng can sell it at a high price and make money.

Otherwise, once Xiaofushan's fruit trees stop making money, who knows whether Gao Mingcheng will still hire him to work?
People at this time were relatively simple-minded, and there were very few selfish people.

Gao Mingcheng glanced at the snake in Chen Dasong's hand and recognized it as a non-venomous snake.

What Chen Dasong said just now, "Seven horizontal, eight hanging, and nine wrapped around the tree," is a local proverb in their area. It also means that snakes will be more active in the three months of July, August, and September.

Most snakes are diurnal and nocturnal. Snakes like warmth, but are also afraid of hot sunshine. However, in the three months of the lunar calendar, the weather is more comfortable and suitable for snake activities. At this time, they are extremely active. , even nocturnal snakes can be seen during the day.
