The happy little days of the Ye family

Although the Tang family did not raise chickens, the Ye family across the wall had a big rooster. Tang Xiaojing woke up to the crowing of the rooster every day.

Tang Xiaojing yawned and pushed open the door, and saw Dahuang and Xiaohuang squatting in front of the door. The two little guys were very excited to see Tang Xiaojing, their little tails wagging hard, and they pounced on Tang Xiaojing's legs.

It has been a month since Dahuang and Xiaohuang came to Tang's house. The two little guys were eating well. They were only the size of a palm when they got home, and now they are heavy in their hands.

"Dahuang Xiaohuang, good morning!" Tang Xiaojing knelt down and rubbed his two furry little heads.

Dahuang and Xiaohuang thought Tang Xiaojing was playing with them, jumping up and down, and nibbling on Tang Xiaojing's hand from time to time.

The two little guys have grown a lot of teeth recently, and they especially like to bite things. The little teeth don’t hurt when biting on the hand, but they are a bit itchy.

Tang Xiaojing teased the two little guys and said with a smile: "You have grown up. It's time to go up to the mountains to train. From now on, you will go up to the mountains to hunt by yourself!"

Today I was taking Rhubarb and Xiaohuang up the mountain. When Tang Xiaojing was cooking breakfast, he cooked two more eggs for the two little guys.

Tang Xiaojing crushed the two eggs, soaked them in the porridge, and poured them into the bowls of Rhubarb and Xiaohuang respectively, and then had breakfast with Tangshan.

Breakfast in the Tang family has always been simple. Sticky sweet potato porridge, plus two poached eggs for each person, this is the breakfast for the father and son.

Tang Xiaojing took a bite of the candied poached egg and said, "Dad, I still have some herbs to process here. I will still process the herbs at home in the morning, and then go to the mountains to pick mushrooms in the afternoon."

"Okay, then I'll take Da Huang and Xiao Huang to the mountain first. It's time for these two little guys to practice. Xiao Huang is very energetic, but Da Huang is still too timid."

When Da Huang and Xiao Huang heard someone calling their names, they tilted their heads and glanced at Tangshan. Seeing that Tangshan ignored them, they continued to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, Tangshan took out a large basket, then carried Da Huang and Xiao Huang into the basket, and then lifted the basket onto the oxcart.

The two little guys were very excited along the way and kept squealing in the basket.

The two little guys ran like crazy as soon as they arrived on the mountain.

When Tang Shan saw that the two little guys had run away, he didn't call them back. He took the backpack and basket and started picking mushrooms.

Tangshan marked all the bacterial nests discovered yesterday. Although mushrooms were picked yesterday, many new mushrooms grew today.

Big Yellow and Little Yellow ran happily on the mountain, chasing hares and butterflies they encountered from time to time, but unfortunately their calves were too short and they couldn't catch up.

The soil in Stone Mountain is very fertile, and trees and vines grow well. The environment here should be more suitable for mushroom growth. Tangshan feels that there are more mushrooms on the mountain than in Xiaohoushan.

Chicken fir, green-headed mushroom, egg mushroom, red mushroom, straw mushroom, one after another, in less than an hour, Tangshan picked a basket full of mushrooms.

Tangshan also picked a lot of fungus, and even the dead wood with fungus growth was piled together, and he planned to take it back together when he went down the mountain.

Tangshan was picking a clump of chicken fir trees when he suddenly heard the sound of rhubarb and little yellow. Tangshan turned his head and saw two little guys digging a rabbit hole one after the other.

There must be more than one rabbit hole in the rabbit's nest. Tangshan blocked the entrance of the hole first, and then asked Big Yellow and Little Yellow to find other rabbit holes.

Not long after, Big Yellow and Little Yellow found two rabbit holes behind the grass not far away.

Tangshan sealed one of the rabbit holes, and then lit some weeds at the remaining entrance, intending to use the smoke to force the rabbit out.

In less than a moment, Tangshan heard a commotion coming from the entrance of the cave. He quickly covered the prepared empty basket at the entrance of the cave and caught a few rabbits in less than a moment.

Two particularly fat big rabbits, and three and a half small rabbits, the entire family was caught by Tangshan.

Several rabbits were tied up by Tangshan Wuhuada and then thrown into the basket.

When Tang Xiaojing reached the mountainside, he saw Tang Shan walking down from the top of the mountain, carrying a particularly fat rabbit in his hand.

Tang Xiaojing felt that the rabbit was a little exaggeratedly fat and had a bulging belly. It felt like it was pregnant.

Tangshan said with a smile: "Big Huang and Xiao Huang found a rabbit nest, and I used cigarettes to force their whole family out."

"This one is the fattest. I'll roast it later and give Dahuang and Xiaohuang a rabbit leg as a reward."

Tang Xiaojing touched the belly of the fat rabbit with his hand, and then he was sure that the rabbit was indeed pregnant.

Tang Xiaojing looked at Tangshan and said, "Dad, this rabbit is pregnant. How about we take it back and raise it?"

"I heard that rabbits have extremely strong reproductive capabilities. They can give birth to several litters a year, with at least several in each litter. And rabbits eat grass, and there are a lot of them on the pigweed mountain."

Tangshan reminded: "Rabbits can give birth, but they are not easy to feed. I have raised them at home before, and they died within two days."

However, when Tangshan looked at the pregnant fat rabbit, he didn't have the heart to roast it and eat it. He stuffed it directly into Tang Xiaojing's arms and said:

"You can raise them if you want, but you have to be responsible for cleaning up rabbit droppings and killing pigweed. I don't care about you."

Tang Xiaojing was unconvinced, "You can't take care of it well? I don't need your help. I can take care of it myself. After all, I have stayed in the pharmacy for a few years."

Tangshan muttered in a low voice: "Many people in the village have raised rabbits, but few of them can feed them."

"I don't believe it's impossible to raise a rabbit alive. These little rabbits don't have much meat, so why don't I raise them all together? The family can relax a little more when they stay together, and maybe they can all be raised. "

Tangshan, who was still a kid back then, thought the same way, and even blocked the rabbit nest and brought a bunch of rabbits back to raise.

But the rabbit was indeed too squeamish. Within two days, both the big and small rabbits died. After that, Tangshan never raised any rabbits again.

Seeing Tang Xiaojing's confident look, Tang Shan didn't say anything to hurt him, and gave the entire basket of rabbits to Tang Xiaojing with a smile.

Tang Xiaojing hung the basket with rabbits on the branch, then took a bow and arrow to hunt two pheasants and came back.

Hunting Tang Xiaojing is okay, but roasting pheasants depends on Tangshan.

Tangshan tore the chicken fungus into small pieces, mixed it with a little salt, and stuffed it into the bellies of two pheasants.

Then rub the surface of the pheasant evenly with wild onions and salt, then insert it into the trunk and roast it on the fire.

When Tang Xiaojing saw Tangshan roasting pheasants, he couldn't help him, so he simply went to look at the dendrobium on the rocks.

Tang Xiaojing hasn't come over to see the dendrobium for a while. It feels like it has grown a lot, and the branches are lush and leafy. It is estimated that by the end of the year, he will be able to collect a crop and exchange it for money in the pharmacy.

Both pheasants are relatively fat. During the roasting process, the chicken fat on the chicken skin slowly drips on the charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound and the aroma slowly wafts out.

Dahuang and Xiaohuang had been wild in the mountains all morning. They were already hungry. When they smelled the scent of pheasants, they were so anxious that their fur around their mouths was wet with saliva.

Tangshan was not afraid of being burned. He pulled two large chicken legs off the roasted pheasant and gave one to Da Huang and the other to Xiao Huang.

Tang Xiaojing pulled off two chicken wings, and the father and son each took one and ate it happily.
