Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 504 Gao Shufang’s sense of responsibility

Crucian carp is small and has many thorns. It is unrealistic to feed the fish to children. If you pick the thorns, you will have to pick blindly. Therefore, many fish fry the large crucian carp in lard until browned on both sides, add water to stew it, and finally fry it. I got half a bowl of rice with fish soup and fed it to Xiao Xuxu.

Rhubarb is treated in the same way, except that its portion is stewed separately, using small crucian carp. After stewing, the fish meat is mashed, the fish bones are filtered out, and the remaining fish soup is mixed with rice for rhubarb to eat.

Before, Dahuang and Black Tiger Elf slept together in the main room, but after Dahuang gave birth, Gao Mingcheng moved Dahuang and the puppies to the utility room, where they were more private and undisturbed by the outside world.

Even Gao Mingcheng rarely goes in except when feeding.

The eyes of newborn puppies are closed. They will open their eyes when they are about ten days old, and they will be able to walk in about a month.

This time is relatively long, but maybe because they only gave birth to two puppies, these two little black dumplings are quite strong. One puppy's hair is completely black, and one puppy's forehead and There is a little yellow hair on the four legs, which is evidence that rhubarb genes are also involved.

In addition to feeding rhubarb rice with crucian carp soup, Gao Mingcheng also fed it egg yolks. This egg yolk was not wanted by Xiao Xuxu. Xiao Xuxu liked to eat egg whites and did not like choking egg yolks. Gao Mingcheng had eaten the egg yolks before. Now let’s just add some rhubarb.

At this time, Gao Mingcheng was standing in the yard, his eyes scanning everywhere in the spacious yard, because he was preparing to build several kennels for the dogs at home.

He originally only had two dogs, Black Tiger and Elf, but then Rhubarb came uninvited and carried Black Tiger's cub. Now, plus Rhubarb's two little black dumplings, Gao Mingcheng has five dogs in his family. !
If Rhubarb gets pregnant again next year, the team of dogs at home will be even bigger!

In the past, when there were only two dogs at home, they would either sleep in the utility room, in the main room, or in the chicken coop. But now that the number of dogs is increasing, it’s time to build this dog dormitory!

Should it be built in a simple and plain way, or should it be built in a weird and weird way?
Gao Mingcheng thought about it for a while, and finally decided to go first and cut down the trees in the mountains!
The kennel does not need to be built with blue bricks and cement, which would be inconvenient to dismantle. It should be built directly with wood. When the weather is good, the dog can sleep in the kennel in the yard, and in winter, it can be moved to the main room.

With this in mind, Gao Mingcheng picked up an ax and prepared to enter the mountain.

Gathering the country's wool naturally had to be done in a secretive manner. Gao Mingcheng ran all the way and entered the mountains before he began to choose trees to chop.

The first choice is naturally fir trees, which are not easy to corrode and are suitable for outdoor storage.

After cutting down a few suitable fir trees, he found masson pine trees and planned to cut down some more. These masson pine trees were used to grow Poria cocos. If the diameter of the trees exceeds [-] centimeters, they can be used.

In addition to masson pine, Huangshan pine, red pine, black pine, etc. can also be used to cultivate Poria. However, the one with the highest yield of Poria is Masson pine.

They happen to have a lot of masson pines here, which makes it easy to grow Poria cocos.

There is no need to carry the cut fir trees and masson pine trees down the mountain in a hurry. After cutting off the branches and peeling the bark, they can be left to dry in the shade. After a few days, they can be carried down the mountain again. By then, the contents in the trunks will be The less water, the lighter it will be.

Gao Mingcheng fished in the reservoir all morning and cut down trees in the mountains all afternoon. When he came down the mountain to go home, he picked up a dozen bullfrogs. The day passed in a hurry.

During dinner in the evening, Gao Mingcheng realized that they had been back to the village for five days, and during these five days, they had almost harvested all the medicinal materials in the mountains.

The free-range chickens raised in Xiaofushan can collect about [-] to [-] eggs a day, so in the past few days, the family has accumulated a lot of eggs.

I heard before that there was chicken plague in the county next door, which caused the price of eggs to rise. But this month, I also heard that chicken plague has occurred in some places in their county, so the eggs on the market have become a hot commodity.

Gao Mingcheng's native chickens are raised in a small rich mountain of more than 300 acres. The only people they can come into contact with on weekdays are themselves and Chen Dasong and Zhang Chengyuan's family. Chen and Zhang basically stay in the village every day. He rarely goes out, and Gao Mingcheng has taken a series of epidemic prevention measures before, so his native chickens have good symptoms and no signs of plague.

"Duomei, I have to go to the county tomorrow to sell the eggs and take a look at the situation in the store." Gao Mingcheng said this at night when the couple was lying on the bed preparing to sleep.

Duo Mei nodded in agreement and said, "Okay. I won't go back. The bitch at home has given birth to puppies. We have to stay in the village for a few more days before leaving."

In many cases, many beauties never question Gao Mingcheng, but feel that he has considered it properly, so they are willing to obey and cooperate.

If there are no disputes between husband and wife, things will be easier to handle.

Early the next morning, after Gao Mingcheng had breakfast, he loaded the eggs, some vegetables, and firewood into the truck, and then went all the way to the county.

When we arrived in the county, it was only nine o'clock, but the shops on the street were already open for business.

When passing by Boss Zhu's shoe shop next door, I rarely saw Zhu Yongjie cleaning, while Boss Zhu was sitting at the workbench, making shoes.

He makes leather shoes and has many shoemaking tools on hand, such as sole hammers, blades, wooden files, sandpaper, etc.When the two parties met, they both said hello. Boss Zhu saw a lot of eggs in Gao Mingcheng's tractor and immediately asked: "Mingcheng, I heard that there is chicken plague in several towns. How are your chickens? ?”

"My chickens are raised in the mountains, which is fine." Gao Mingcheng said simply.

But when he stopped to move things, Boss Zhu came out and said he wanted to buy two kilograms of eggs.

Gao Mingcheng is naturally happy to sell to whomever he wants to sell, so he can let Boss Zhu choose.

Gao Shufang in the store had already seen her second brother and immediately came forward happily.

"Second brother, you are finally back! Hey, where are the second sister-in-law and Xiao Xuxu?" Gao Shufang found out that her second brother and Xiao Xuxu were not in the car, so she knew that her second brother had to go back to the village today.

"Dahuang gave birth to two puppies, and the weather has been good recently, so we plan to stay in the village for a while. How is the business of the store these days? Can you guys be busy enough?" Gao Mingcheng asked.

Gao Shufang immediately said: "The business is not bad, and I am very busy. Oh, by the way, Sister Luo Li is sick, so I asked her to go back to rest. There are me, my fourth sister-in-law, and Aunt Hu in the store, so I am very busy. I I will be responsible for selling the goods, and my fourth sister-in-law and Aunt Hu will help with other things."

Gao Mingcheng heard that Luo Li was sick, and immediately asked Luo Li when she got sick and what kind of disease she had.

Gao Shufang said: "I felt a little sick the day before yesterday. Suddenly I felt a little coughing and lethargic. I asked her and she said she might have taken a cold shower, so she felt a little uncomfortable. Second brother, do you think it's strange or not? It's hot. Sometimes, I also take cold showers, but I’m not sick!”

Not to mention taking cold showers in summer, even in spring and autumn, people in the village go to the reservoir to take a bath.

Gao Mingcheng said while moving things: "Have you forgotten that your sister Luo Li is pregnant? Pregnant women are weak and prone to illness, so they need to be more careful. Besides, it is already October. Although the temperature is okay, the tap water is definitely better than in summer. It's getting colder. So are you. Don't be lazy. It won't take long to boil some hot water. If you can't lift it, ask your fourth brother to lift it!"

If you have a labor force lying around at home, you have to use it!
Gao Shufang made a face and whispered: "The fourth sister-in-law carries the water by herself, how can I dare to ask the fourth brother for help?"

Gao Mingcheng was speechless, Zhang Jinling couldn't do this. A woman with a husband should ask her husband to help with things appropriately. This will also help enhance the relationship between husband and wife.

Let me ask, which man doesn’t like a woman who acts coquettishly and asks for help?
If a woman does everything by herself and has a tough personality, then what fun can there be!

Gao Mingcheng looked at Gao Shufang and lectured: "In short, you should always take hot baths from now on, don't be greedy for cold baths! If you get sick and feel uncomfortable, you have to spend money to see a doctor and buy medicine. It's not cost-effective!"

When in the village, most people go to the reservoir to take a bath. Even if they wash at home, they have to carry water back in advance, pour it into a wooden basin and let it dry in the sun. In the evening, they use the dried water to take a bath. Although this water is Cold water, but not really that cold.

But the tap water in the county is different. It has not been exposed to the sun, so it is really cold water!
Luo Li is his employee and Huang Dazhi's wife, so Gao Mingcheng plans to wait and visit.

He brought a basket and picked twenty larger eggs into it.

After he unloaded all the things and parked the tractor in a secluded corner, he said to Gao Shufang, "I'm going to visit Luo Li."

"Hey, good. I hope Sister Luo Li gets better soon." After Gao Shufang watched Gao Mingcheng leave with the vegetable basket, she immediately rolled her eyes, then found her fourth sister-in-law Zhang Jinling, and began to pretend to pass on the imperial edict.

"Fourth sister-in-law, my second brother just said that you should ask fourth brother to help you more in the future! You see, my second brother will bring hot water to bathe my second sister-in-law and Xiao Xuxu!"

Zhang Jinling was dubious. When Gao Mingcheng and Gao Shufang were talking just now, she couldn't get close to them, so she stayed a little far away.

Zhang Jinling thought for a while and then said: "Your fourth brother is quite tired from working in the factory. I haven't done much here anyway. I still have the strength to carry some water."

Gao Shufang was discouraged. It seemed that her fourth sister-in-law had no hope.

Forget it, I’ll carry the water myself from now on, otherwise I’ll just ask my fourth brother to help me carry the water!
Just like the second brother said, if I get sick because of the convenience of taking a cold shower, then who will take care of this clothing store?

Comrade Gao Shufang, manager of Xinxin Clothing Store, is full of sense of responsibility!

When she thought that she wanted to stick to her post, Gao Shufang didn't mind the trouble of heating and fetching hot water!
At this moment, a customer came into the store to buy clothes. Gao Shufang took a familiar look at the customer's dress, and then took the customer to the latest autumn clothes.

The clothes here are all goods that Gao Mingcheng came in from Yangcheng not long ago. They are unique goods in the entire county!
