Chapter 79 At least I got to eat the delicacies of the mountain

 Spring plowing has begun.

Lugangling Village has a large number of horses that can be used for farming, and many families have plowed the land to develop their own farmland.

The Qing court officials can no longer control this place. The land we have developed has an unfair name, but no one can take it away.

Zhao Chuanxin gave Zhu Jianye a project: building a public security station!

Defu and a group of children became overseers and supervised the construction of the security station.

One after another, several groups of people came to Lugang Ridge. They brought their families, ranging from a dozen people to dozens of people.

Zhao Chuanxin did not farm or work, but went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables.

Different from the mountains of later generations, the trees on the mountains at this time are densely packed one by one. There are many trees as thick as several people can hug them, so there should not be too many pillars.

Zhao Chuanxin feels happy just looking at it.

On a sunny slope, he found an open area and just squatted on the ground and kept plowing. The large leaves of celery were so dense that the ground could not be seen.

Peel a small strip of bark from the Qiuzi tree, tie the celery leaves, and put it in a cloth bag.

You cannot peel the bark off a tree, otherwise the tree will die.

Gan Fan was digging the ground beside him, turning up all the leaves, and dug out a white beetle larvae, which he sniffed but did not move.

Zhao Chuanxin kept mumbling about whipping it every day, but he was always reluctant to do it.

Who hasn’t had the time to be willful?

Just as he was leaving, a black crow flew down from a branch and snatched up the big white bug on the ground in one mouthful.

Although Qianfan didn't eat it, he didn't allow the crows to let loose under his nose, so he immediately started calling at the tree.

The crow looked down at it disdainfully, pouted its tail, and excrement fell from the sky.

Qian Fan jumped back and dodged, even more furious.

The crow flew away, and it followed closely behind.

"Hey, don't chase me, don't get lost!"

Zhao Chuanxin shouted from behind.

It is not safe in the forest. There are all kinds of animals in the old forest at this time. Tigers, leopards, wild boars, dogs and bears often appear here.

Ganfan didn't listen at all and slipped into the woods.

Zhao Chuanxin could only stare, the forest was so dense that he couldn't even run even if he wanted to.

Forget it, it knows the way and will be back soon.

Ganfan chased after him and saw the crow burrowing into its nest in the tree.

Soon after, a figure jumped down from another tree. It was fast and silent, like a ghost.

Qianfan was shocked because he didn't find that thing just now.

This thing's fur is like a hare, with spots on its body and a slender body. It hides in a tree and is almost the same color as the tree. As long as it doesn't move, it's really hard to spot.

Ganfan knew it was a lynx because Zhao Chuanxin had taught it before.

The lynx bit the crow's head accurately, and at the same time knocked over its nest, and a naked baby bird that had just hatched fell out.

Ganfan stepped forward and took a sniff. The fallen leaves on the ground were thick, and the baby bird didn't fall to death after falling to the ground.

The crow has died and has become a meal for the lynx.

It also lowered its head and looked at Qianfan in warning, signaling it to get out of here and not disturb me while I was eating.

After drying the rice, he picked up the baby bird in his mouth and ran towards the road.

Zhao Chuanxin's bag is already full, and he even has five bundles of large leaf celery and mountain millet seeds tied around his waist.

He straightened up and hammered his back, looked at Lin Zi and shouted: "Gangfan, let's go, go home!"

The figure of Qianfan finally appeared. It shuttled through the forest very nimbly. When it arrived, it threw the things in its mouth out.

Zhao Chuanxin picked up the fleshy lump on the ground and saw that it turned out to be a baby bird.

I couldn’t laugh or cry immediately.

When he was a child, he often dug out bird's nests and other things. At that time, there were no sound laws to protect wild animals.

Seeing that the chickens were also being eaten, Zhao Chuanxin said: "This little meat is not enough to take back and burn, and it is not enough for you to stuff between your teeth."

Ganfan: "..."

"Raising chickens? This is not a chicken, this is a bird. Okay, I'll take it back and raise it for you."

In spring, many people in the village began to hatch chickens. A hen was walking around with a group of chickens looking for food. Ganfan noticed it and thought it was fun and wanted to raise a group of chickens to take with her.

Damn it, there are dogs who want to raise chickens?

Putting the baby in his pocket, Zhao Chuanxin went down the mountain.

After returning, he put the celery in a basin and took it to the river to clean it.

Ganfan disagreed, pulled his neck and screamed.

Only then did Zhao Chuanxin realize that there was a baby bird in his pocket.

I took it out, looked at it, wiped it, and put it in my pocket.

I hurried back to find a wooden box to put it inside, and put some mashed hay on it.

"It's okay if you want to raise it, but you have to go out every day to find bugs to feed it. Look at the hens in the village. They take the chickens out to look for bugs to eat. If they find bugs, the hen will be pecked to death, and the chicks will be snatched from behind.

Food."

When he heard the news, his eyes rolled, he turned around and ran out.

It didn't take much effort, but it came back with a fat white insect biting it, with sawdust still left on its mouth.

The bugs were thrown on the ground, but the bird chicks were not like chickens that could wander around and eat by themselves.

Zhao Chuanxin picked up the half-dead insect and said, "Look, feed it like this. You can learn from it."

The little bird hasn't opened its eyes yet, and no matter who brings the food, it has its mouth wide open.

The bug was stuffed into its mouth and it was gobbled up immediately.

Drying rice thoughtfully.

Without much effort, another insect came back.

This time, it held it in its mouth and fed it directly to the baby bird, which was quite decent.

Seeing that it was about to leave again, Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly said: "Look here, it's called a crop. If it's very bulging, don't feed it. Don't stuff it to death. When you were little, you didn't know when you were full when you ate.

I ate as much as I could, and in the end I couldn’t poop and almost choked to death.”

Since then, Ganfan has a new toy and is very busy.

Zhao Chuanxin then went out to wash vegetables.

The large leaf celery was too thin and he couldn't eat it, so he washed a third of it, thought about it, and sent the rest to Zhao Zhongyi's family.

"Have you gone up the mountain?" Zhao Zhongyi has just come back from the fields. "It's better not to go to the old forest. The two women in Wangjiagou went to pick wild vegetables, and they didn't know what animals ate them, leaving only one leg."

Zhao Chuanxin patted the pistol on his waist: "It's not easy to use even if the tiger comes!"

As strong as a tiger or a leopard, he is also a scumbag in front of firearms. With his marksmanship, if he aims a round of bullets at his head, the tiger will have to kneel down no matter how strong it is!

Zhao Zhongyi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that when you are not paying attention, the tiger will rush towards you and it will be too late to shoot. You still have never seen a tiger, so you don't know how fast it is."

"It's okay, don't worry, I will follow you, and no animals can get close to me."

After returning home, he divided the celery into three parts, fried one part, made steamed buns, and served with cold vegetables.

The mountain millet seeds are blanched in boiling water and eaten with egg sauce. It has a very unique flavor.

Delicacies from mountains and seas, at least now you can eat delicacies from mountains and seas, right?
