Living in the mountains and forests as hunters

Chapter 71

Spring is finally here, and the days after the Waking of Insects are busy. Zhao Yiyi carefully bought something that can be bought in a high-end grocery store, that is, vegetable seeds, a total of 200, or ten varieties, that is to say From the beginning to the end, there are only 20 seeds for each vegetable, but Zhao Yiyi still cherishes it very much. The reason is very simple, because almost all these seeds are not available in this world.

Peppers, loofahs, tomatoes, onions, pumpkins, gourds, leeks, water spinach, cucumbers, potatoes, among these vegetable seeds, except for leeks Zhao Yiyi can occasionally see here, the rest are basically exotic plants. Speaking of this world, It’s really not difficult to eat any green leafy vegetables in this mountain. Whether it’s wild vegetables in the field, wild celery by the water, or others, as long as you put your heart into it, you can always find something to eat. Seasoning Zhao Yiyi is very eager, who made her like spicy food!Besides, how much a little bit of spiciness can warm the body in winter!Think about the Long March, think about the Great Snow Mountain, and you will know the magical effect of this thing. In a potato, this thing is better, not to mention easy to store, and the yield is also high. When there is no food, it can be used as a staple food. In those time travel novels If this is missing, how can we accomplish the mission of saving the country and the people, and saving the stomachs of the people?Ah, it seems to be missing. They still have sweet potatoes, so I can have this too. It's just that Zhao Yiyi doesn't have the good fortune of others this time. It is a great gift to have these now, and she is already very satisfied.

As for the loofah, she doesn't really have much love, but she wants loofah tendons. Whether it's for bathing or washing dishes, she thinks it's the right weapon. As for the others?Gourds can also look forward to getting some gourds and ladles, they are all practical things!Look, it hasn't been planted yet, Zhao Yiyi has already made detailed arrangements, this is Zhao Yiyi.

Zhao Yiyi, who bought the plant planting manual, pointed to these seeds and explained to An Dalang one by one, talking about the effects of these things after they were planted, and even said very far-sightedly that if they could keep more seeds, the future It can't be said that there are too many seeds to be planted, and they can be sold to shops, which makes An Dalang look forward to these seeds even more.

Of course, what Zhao Yiyi said is quite sure, who made organic vegetables and green food in modern society start to sell for sky-high prices!Since the price of her shop was set according to modern society, she had to make up her mind.So in fact, ancient times are still very enviable, right? At least this is a leading position.

The yard in front of the cave is full of stones, which were laid out slowly by An Dalang's father and grandfather two generations, in order to keep the entrance of this house clean and tidy, so that they can pick up their prey, but they They are all hunters. They only got bigger because of their temper, but they didn't think of using it rationally. In the mountains, it is unrealistic to raise chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep at home. It is understandable that there are no such things in the yard, but Zhao Yiyi doesn't understand why there is no such thing as growing vegetables. Even the Lin family, Aunt Lin also knows to plant some cabbage near the water pool next to her house, so as to add more to the family. Not to eat!After all, even if there are rabbits who may come to steal vegetables, but they can't affect the safety of life. Under such circumstances, there is nothing taboo about planting!

After asking An Dalang, Zhao Yiyi knew for the first time, but it turned out that An Dalang's grandfather was a deserter, and he was also a hunter before he became a soldier. In father's generation, his father learned the methods of Orion and married the daughter of Orion. Do you want them to know how to plant?That was even more impossible, so the yard was left empty.

Fortunately, now that Zhao Yiyi is here, finally the open space has begun to be used. Apart from drawing the place where the house will be built after summer, the rest is a long stretch to the east. Zhao Yiyi asked An Dalang to go down the mountain to carry A lot of mountain soil is brought up, and there is no need to dig out the rocks, just spread a thick layer of soil on top of the rocks, just like building flower gardens in modern communities, surround a rectangle with stones, fill it with soil, and it becomes A vegetable garden.

It’s actually very simple at the beginning, as long as you tidy up the soil and bury the seeds. As for the shelves of cucumbers and loofahs, you can clean them up after the plants grow to the length needed for the shelves, so the whole process is not difficult. Work Not onerous either.In the rainy spring, watching the buried seeds start to sprout slowly, this is what they like to see.

Zhao Yiyi learned the planting manual by herself. Naturally, taking care of the vegetable garden became her own business. Asking a hunter to put down his bow and arrows to grow vegetables is obviously a stupid thing in the mountains here. The hunter is brave and bloody. More feet, peasants are simple and relatively weak, Zhao Yiyi knows very well that in this mountain, only those who are brave and who have seen blood are more likely to survive and protect a family, so she did not restrict her man to the land It means that he only asks An Dalang to help him occasionally when he is at home.Not to mention that she is still looking forward to her man coming back from hunting to earn meat for the family!

One month, two months, when the loofahs are full of shelves and the leeks can be harvested, Zhao Yiyi's harvest begins, and Zhao Dahu, who came here for a rare time, sees the new vegetables in his brother-in-law's house that are obviously different from other places. When the vegetables started to shine, Zhao Yiyi's seeds also started to sell.

"Sister. What is this?"

"Loofah, didn't you eat it in your mouth, loofah scrambled eggs, loofah soup, I'm almost finished, I've asked three times, why are you still asking?"

"No, this thing tastes a bit strange, but it seems to be quite delicious. Can you stew meat?"

"I know the stew, is it delicious?"

"No, I'm just asking, by the way, sister, do you have any seeds like this? Give me some, and I'll let my mother grow them too. Once this shelf is set up, it won't take up any space at all. It's so convenient, and you can order more food."

Zhao Dahu is already a very mature man in charge of the family, he sees things very comprehensively, things like loofah don't take up space, Zhao Yiyi is very satisfied looking at such a younger brother.So promise quickly.

"Understood, I'll give you some later, do you want other seeds?"

"Is there any one that doesn't take up space? I see that you have other shelves here. The vegetables at home are all planted, so I can only add some more."

"Yes, why not, cucumbers, gourds, pumpkins, these don't take up space, you want them all?"

"No need for gourds. I have these seeds at home. I don't think I've seen cucumbers or pumpkins. Forget it. Let's start with the loofah. I don't know if I can grow them. Don't waste the seeds. I'll wait for the seeds to grow well. I'll start with you again." If I eat something here, my mother will like it, and I will ask you for it."

Zhao Dahu made it very clear, and Zhao Yiyi also knew his concerns, and knew what happened when there were so many seeds that had never been seen in the village all of a sudden. It's not good, maybe people will say it's a waste of land, it's better to take it slowly, it's better to see what is planted, so as to avoid the possibility of persuasion from those well-meaning people.

Putting aside the matter of growing vegetables, Zhao Yiyi put chopsticks of meat in his younger brother's bowl, and asked about other things.

"Isn't there no hunting in spring? Why did you come out with a bow and arrow?"

"Didn't my brother-in-law say he was going to the county seat? I just wanted to go and see it. You know, my mother is always worried when I go out alone. If I go with my brother-in-law, then my mother won't say anything. It's just that the bow and arrow always I have to bring it with me, otherwise my mother may not be able to sleep all night. Speaking of it, since last year, my brother-in-law has traveled between the village and the county many times. I heard from others that even other villages have better life than before because of my brother-in-law. They said that my brother-in-law is the most knowledgeable in the village near us, sister, I also want to gain knowledge."

Hearing that Zhao Dahu was going to the county seat, Zhao Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and said that the reason for making money from this illegal business at home was because of his own shop. The first money, where so much money can be earned, my younger brother must have thought about it because he saw how easy it was to earn. Although this is not bad, it is too hard.

"Increasing knowledge? This is okay. People can't always just look at their own one-acre land, and always go outside to see other people's lives to know the length. You are also an adult, and you should also see what it looks like outside. , I can’t understand everything, but my sister said a word before, go out and have a look, don’t be blindsided, you look at your brother-in-law selling goods as if you are making money, but this is all hard-earned foot money, if you can You can afford this hardship and earn this money, but at least you can only do it after you are 15 years old, after all, people will not trust a child if you sell goods outside.”

Zhao Yiyi just wanted to give a good lecture, but Zhao Dahu laughed when he didn't want to, he was about to throw away his chopsticks, and he came to Zhao Yiyi's side all of a sudden, and said coquettishly:
"Sister, what are you thinking about? I'm not that kind of person. I don't want to grab any business with my brother-in-law, and I don't know how to do this job. I know how your family got the money now. It's a reward for killing wolves." , It’s the money for selling recipes, I won’t be blinded by every experience, and toss around, besides, even if I want to sell the goods, I don’t have contacts like my brother-in-law, right? I just want to know what the county is like. My father used to be there When I was there, I never took me there! It’s like seeing how much bigger it is than the town.”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yiyi blushed a little, as if she had misunderstood her younger brother, but she turned her head and said seriously:
