Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 120 Soft Dates

The Lin family's wine shop has already started construction, and it will be erected on July [-]th. As a shareholder, Zhixin must go.On the morning of the nineteenth, Zhixin and Zhiming left early with the men from the Wang family and Fang family, and Xue Shi and Zhu Shi also took Li Shi and Zhou Shi back to the village.The other side of the winery can't cook, so of course they have to hold a banquet at Lin's house to entertain those who go to help.Only Wencheng and Jinghan were left on the mountain with Mingyu and Jingxian, and Guoxing, Ankang, and Honglian were the only ones left on the mountain.

Mingyu has lived in Xu's house for the past few days, but he has gotten used to the life on the mountain. He wakes up early every morning to practice martial arts with Wen Cheng and sisters Jinghan.Of course, Guoan, Guoping, and Honglian all have to practice together.Zhixin said that there are a lot of wild animals on this mountain, if you don't have a little effort, if you encounter them one day, you will be in danger.So everyone is practicing martial arts very hard, and no one wants to be in danger.

After the last punch, everyone stopped.Mingyu was thinking about going to the river to catch fish, so he urged Guoxing and Ankang to hurry to the river.Since Fang Wang and his family came here, Guoxing and Ankang had been responsible for delivering fish to the town in the morning.The Xu family didn't want the money from selling the fish either, and let them keep it.

Mingyu fell in love with this job after he went fishing with him that day. Looking at those lively fish, Mingyu really experienced the joy of harvesting.

Jing Han and Jing Xian have long been used to that scene, so they stopped following them to the riverside.Guoxing and Ankang led Mingyu to the riverside, and pulled out the hanging net that was cast last night. There were really a lot of fish in it.It can be said that the Xu family has been fishing with nets for many years, but there is only the Xu family by the river, and there are no outsiders.In addition, fish are still abundant at this time, so even if the Xu family fished like this, they would not see any reduction in fish.

The three men took the fish out of the net and put them in barrels, and each of them walked back with a barrel.Back at the market place, Guoxing quickly poured all the fish into the big wooden barrel on the bullock cart, and it will be delivered to the town later.

And Jinghan and Jingxian took people to pick off the yellow elm mushrooms, and later let Guoxing and the others take them to the town to sell.These elm yellow mushrooms are all grown on the fungus trees in winter. If the environment is suitable, the mushrooms will naturally grow, and Jinghan can't help it.So I picked it off and sold it in the town, and I can exchange it for some money, right?When Mingyu and the others came back with the fish, Jinghan also picked off the mushrooms and put them in the basket.

Mrs. Xue prepared breakfast before leaving, everyone ate breakfast quickly, and Guoxing and Ankang drove the ox cart to the town.Mingyu was also very curious about the town, but he also knew that he didn't come here for sightseeing, so he suppressed his curiosity and stayed honestly on the mountain with Jinghan and the others.

Hericium erinaceus and fungus are still growing on the mountain, so Jinghan led Jingxian and the others to pick them and dry them in the sun.The weather is getting cooler gradually, so the output is not as much as before.It took everyone more than an hour to pick them all off, and poured them on the mat to dry.

Seeing that it is August, many things in the mountains are beginning to mature.Jinghan thought for a while, and took everyone to pick soft dates, leaving Wencheng in the venue, and the rest followed Jinghan.They go up the mountain all the year round, so they naturally know where there are good things. Jinghan led the people to find a few jujube trees easily.Jujube is a kind of vine, which usually climbs to other trees. The fruit it bears is about the size of jujube and tastes sweet and delicious.It looks very similar to kiwi fruit and is called Chinese kiwi fruit. Its nutrition and taste are much better than that of kiwi fruit sold.

The little fat man had never seen this thing before, he only saw clusters of green fruits hanging from purple-red vines.At this time, the soft jujubes have matured, and they are slightly transparent under the sunshine. "Sister, is this the jujube you mentioned?" The little fat man reached out and picked one, and was about to put it in his mouth.

"Fool, the one you picked is not yet ripe, and that kind of one is not delicious. Then, here I am, you need to find the translucent one, which is mature." Jingxian on the side saw Mingyu The one to eat is not yet ripe, so Ming Yu hurriedly stopped him.

Mingyu took the jujube from Jingxian's hand, "Thank you, sister Jingxian." Then he put this fruit in his mouth. The outer skin is very soft, and it bursts easily when he sips it. The inside is ripe The pulp is soft, with a special sweet taste, which fills the whole mouth at once.The little fat man narrowed his eyes, savoring the taste carefully. "Well, it's delicious, really sweet, and has a scent."

Li Mingyu was born in a wealthy family, what kind of exotic fruit has he never eaten?But at the moment, he really thinks this food is delicious. "Sister, do we just want to take this back? Is it the only way to eat it? If only we could keep it for a while longer?" Ming Yu said with some regret.

Jinghan has no idea about this, she usually eats jujubes in this way, and she has never heard of any other way. "Don't worry about how to eat it, let's pick it off first and then talk about other things. Let's do it quickly. Separate the cooked ones from the unripe ones. You can go home and cover the unripe ones."

Everyone worked together to pick the soft dates.This thing climbed on other trees, so it was quite tall, Jinghan didn't care about that, rolled up her sleeves and grabbed the branches and climbed up the tree.

Mingyu saw Jinghan climbing up the tree in two or three steps from below, he was a little stunned and couldn't react. "Sister, how did you get up? You are so good that you can climb trees."

Jingxian smiled at the side, "Brother Mingyu, don't you know how to climb trees? Don't you? You're still a boy. Even I can climb trees. Hehe, I'll find a tree for you to see me later." The ability to climb trees." Jingxian has followed Jinghan's side as an adult, but she has learned all Jinghan's abilities, and nothing is left behind.

Mingyu looked at Jingxian in surprise, and then sighed, "Oh, I used to think that I was good enough, but I didn't expect that when I came here, I found out that I am nothing. Sister Jingxian, don't you Hit me, okay?"

The girls next to me heard it, and they all laughed, and Hong Shao laughed and held her stomach and said, "Oh."

Jinghan also found it funny on the tree, so it's not strange to think about it.This little fat man is probably very spoiled at home. How can a rich family let their children climb trees? What if there is danger?Poor little fat man, I really don't know how he spent his childhood, didn't he memorize his homework every day? "Okay, don't laugh anymore. I'll pick it up and throw it down. You guys have to continue, or you'll be smashed when you fall to the ground." Jinghan didn't want everyone to laugh at Mingyu anymore, so she stretched out her hand to pick off the soft dates, and then went to Throw down.

The girls below hurriedly continued, fortunately they did this every year, and they had a good understanding with each other, and generally they would not let the soft dates fall to the ground.

This tree is quite big, and there are many jujubes on it. It didn't take long for everyone to pick it, and the two back baskets were full.Jinghan saw that it was almost done, so she slid down from the tree, "Okay, let's go back. If you make too much of this thing, you won't be able to eat it, and it won't be rotten by then."

Hong Lian and Lu Ping each carried a basket on their backs, and everyone walked back.Mingyu was still a little bit reluctant, "Sister, can we come here when we are free? This is quite fun."

"Brother Mingyu, people say that country bumpkins are coming to the city, why are you the other way around? You come to the mountain from the city, but you like everything. Don't worry, there are a lot of good things on the mountain these days , schisandra, mountain grapes, pears, walnuts, pine cones, etc., just look at them, the second sister will take you there, so don't feel tired." Jingxian laughed at Mingyu as she walked.

When Mingyu heard that there were so many good things, his eyes widened immediately, "Sister, you must take me with you when the time comes, oh, there are so many good things. Hehe, sister, you live on the mountain so happy."

Jinghan couldn't help smiling, this little fat man is really interesting. "Don't listen to what Jingxian said. There are not only good things in this mountain, but also dangerous ones. There are all kinds of beasts in the mountain, such as wolves, insects, tigers and leopards. If you encounter them, you will be in trouble. So you must not come to the mountain by yourself , you know? If you encounter a wolf, or a blind bear, it will be broken." Jinghan warned a few words worriedly.

"Sister, what is Xiong Xiazi? What does he look like? Is he very powerful?" Ming Yu didn't understand, and asked Jing Han with big eyes.

"Blind Xiong is a black bear. Its eyesight is not very good, so we call it Blind Xiong. This thing is fierce. It has barbs on its tongue. When it meets people, it is willing to lick them with its tongue. It can kill people at once. The flesh on the face is licked off, and sometimes it is so severe that even the skull can be lifted at once, so you must not go up the mountain by yourself, you know?" Jinghan said while walking, and kept admonishing.

"Sister, don't worry, Mingyu knows how powerful she is, and she never dares to enter the mountain by herself. As long as my sister leads Mingyu when she enters the mountain, it will be fine. But sister must also pay attention, this is too dangerous." Mingyu listened quietly What Han said, he quickly agreed, and at the same time cared about Jing Han.

Everyone walked quickly back to the venue, Jinghan poured the ripe jujubes into a basin, and anyone who liked them could eat them.The unripe ones were put into a wooden barrel, and then they went out and cut some Artemisia sageliciosa, and put them on top of the jujubes.Put it in the house and cover it for a few days, and then you can eat it.

The little fat man held a handful of overripe jujubes, which were delicious. "Sister, do you think this food can be dried? If it is dried, can it still be eaten in winter? Otherwise, such a delicious food can only be had for a few days, and it will not be eaten after a while. .”

Jing Han laughed when she heard this, "Then you can try it and see if it can be dried in the sun. To be honest, I really haven't thought about it." Jing Han didn't care, and let Jing Xian accompany Ming Yu there Just for fun, I went to prepare lunch with Guren and the others.
