The happy little days of the Ye family

After lunch, Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing were thinking about going to Rabbit Mountain to check out the herbs, and hurried out the door.

Before going to Rabbit Mountain, the father and son first went to Stone Mountain to dig up mulch and fertilize the herbs.

Although the family raises a lot of pigs, the manure and water in the pig pens are not enough for the family fields alone.

After all, the Tang family has 60 acres of paddy fields and more than ten acres of dry land, and they can't even care about the herbs in the mountains.

Moreover, even fermented manure can easily burn seedlings, so Tang Xiaojing did not dare to use manure to fertilize herbs.

Mulch is the most easily available and safe fertilizer.

This is what Mr. Ye taught me. The soil under the big trees where there are more fallen leaves is more fertile, which is very good for growing things, and there is no fear of burning the seedlings.

If there is not enough fertilizer, this mulch can be used as fertilizer.

The new herb seedlings are too delicate, so the father and son usually dig up soil to fertilize the herbs.

The soil quality in Stone Mountain is better and the plants are lush. Tang Xiaojing thought that the soil here must be better than that in Rabbit Mountain.

The father and son did not go up the mountain, but found a few very tall trees at the foot of the mountain.

The two picked some places with a lot of fallen leaves and pushed aside the fallen leaves. There was black and slightly soil underneath, which looked very fertile at first glance.

Tang Xiaojing quickly took out two sacks, and the father and son quickly put the black soil into them.

After filling two sacks of rot, the father and son stopped.

If it wasn't too heavy to carry up the mountain, the two would have wanted to dig more.

The father and son each carried a heavy sack of mulch, called Rhubarb and Xiaohuang and walked quickly towards Rabbit Mountain.

"Ow ooh..."

"Ow ooh..."

Hearing Tang Xiaojing's voice, Dahuang and Xiaohuang roared a few times and immediately ran over from a distance.

Da Huang and Xiao Huang ran very fast and immediately caught up with the father and son who were carrying things.

After catching up, he deliberately slowed down his pace and slowly opened the way in front of the two of them.

Dahuang and Xiaohuang are experienced old hunting dogs. Tang Xiaojing takes them with him every time he goes up the mountain.

With these two majestic big guys around, Tang Xiaojing felt very at ease.

Most of the herbs grown in Rabbit Mountain are ordinary herbs, and only a small number of precious herbs are planted on the top of the mountain.

Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan were already panting heavily when they walked to the place where precious herbs were planted, carrying heavy loads of rotted soil.

Putting the soil down, Tang Xiaojing wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked down to see Da Huang and Xiao Huang running out quickly chasing a gray rabbit.

Tang Xiaojing said to Tangshan with a smile:

"Looks like there are rabbits to eat again tonight."

In his opinion, Dahuang and Xiaohuang simply came to their house to repay their kindness. Ever since they had the two of them, the Tang family has never been short of meat.

Tangshan looked at his son with disgust, "You still have the nerve to say that, look at you, you are not as useful as Big Yellow and Little Yellow."

"With Chenchen, dad, you don't care about me at all."

Alas, his status at home is getting worse day by day.

Tangshan rolled his eyes at him, "Gungungun, hurry up and get to work."

The father and son joked and joked for a while and then started to work.

Tangshan took out two sacks, and the two of them filled a small half bag of mulch into each sack, and then started to work.

The father and son helped up the small herb seedlings that had been shaken by the rain, and then added a layer of mulch to cover them.

The two of them worked on the mountain for more than half an hour before covering all the herb seedlings with a layer of mulch.

It rained all night yesterday, and the soil on the mountain was still very wet, so the father and son did not water the herbs.

While the two were busy, they saw a lot of mushrooms growing on the mountain. But the newly grown mushroom is still small.

The mushrooms that grow are still too small to pick.

However, there were originally mushrooms growing on the mountain. Nourished by the rain, these mushrooms grew very juicy and large.

After working on herbal medicine, the father and son started picking mushrooms on the mountain again.

Most of them were freshly grown mushrooms. The father and son only picked some big ones and kept the small ones for picking tomorrow.

The most common mushrooms on Rabbit Mountain are straw mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, aeruginosa and coprinus.

Chickens and mushrooms are hard to come by.

There are many weeds on the mountain, and straw mushrooms usually grow in some dry grass.

After walking a few steps, Tang Xiaojing found a nest of dead weeds in a pile of dry weeds.

Straw mushrooms all grow continuously, with at least a dozen of them in a circle.

It's a pity that these straw mushrooms have just grown, the largest ones are only a little bigger than a finger, and they haven't been picked yet.

"Let you go for now, and come back tomorrow when you are older."

Tang Xiaojing was just about to leave with the basket in hand when he lowered his head and saw swarms of ants at his feet.

Galliae fungus usually grows near ant nests.

Tang Xiaojing was very happy to see the ants, and quickly called to Tangshan to look for the gallinobacteria together.

"Dad, there are a lot of ants here. Come here quickly and look for gallinobacteria nearby."

"Okay, come right over."

Tangshan found a piece of aeruginosa not far away. Hearing Tang Xiaojing's voice, he quickly speeded up his movements.

The father and son were lucky enough to find three quite large gallinobacteria.

After a while, the father and son encountered another nest of Coprinus comatus.

Coprinus comatus also grows continuously, but it seems that they have just grown out, and many of them have not grown up.

The father and son only picked some of the larger ones and kept the rest until they come back tomorrow.

On some dead trees, there are many black fungus that are only the size of fingers.

These black fungus were so densely packed that Tangshan felt a little nauseous, so he quickly turned his head after just one glance.

After taking two steps, Tangshan found two mushrooms, and they were quite big.

Straw mushrooms, Coprinus comatus, Coprinus comatus, aeruginosa, and shiitake mushrooms. The baskets on their backs were slowly filled with various mushrooms.

Mushroom hunting is so addictive that father and son just can't stop.

After the baskets behind them were full, the two poured the mushrooms into the sacks and continued picking.

It wasn't until the sun set on the top of the mountain that the father and son reluctantly stopped.

When they were going down the mountain, they passed by a spring. Tang Xiaojing saw that his hands were covered with mud and wanted to wash them.

After getting closer, Tang Xiaojing discovered that the lotus roots planted before grew particularly well in the small puddle beside the spring.

Emerald green lotus leaves covered the entire puddle, and there were also several budding lotus flowers.

The green mountains and green waters, with lotus flowers swaying in the breeze, are quite wild.

Tang Xiaojing looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and couldn't help but think of Ye Qingqing.

"It's a pity that Qingqing didn't come over. Otherwise, when I saw these lotus flowers, I would have been eager to draw them and make them into embroidery."

Tangshan on the side smiled and said: "The lotus flowering time is quite long. There will still be lotus flowers after the summer harvest. Then you can bring Qingqing over to the mountains to play."

"This is a good idea. Chenchen is still breastfeeding and Qingqing can't go anywhere. She must be bored staying at home every day."

Tangshan on the side looked straight at the lotus in the puddle, and murmured with a smile:

"This lotus is growing really well. I should be able to eat home-grown lotus roots by the end of the year."

The lotus roots were planted last year when I bought the house, and they are almost a year old.

Originally I only planted a few plants, but within a year they had already covered the entire puddle. From now on, there will be no shortage of lotus roots at home.

Tang Xiaojing looked at these lotus flowers and thought of lotus seeds.

"When the lotus flowers fade later, you can come here to pick lotus pods. Lotus seeds are also good."

The father and son looked at the lotus flowers and thought about all kinds of delicious things.

"Ow ooh..."

"Ow ooh..."

At this time, Dahuang and Xiaohuang, who had already run to the bottom of the mountain, shouted, urging them to come down quickly.
