"My second sister is really right. I read in the newspaper that flying dragons will be listed as protected animals. In the future, we can only eat farmed ones. It will be illegal to eat wild ones." Liu Dongxue was very emotional.

"It's mainly because they are so delicious. Wild ones are not enough. We have to farm them. Now we send one to Gangcheng every three days, with a thousand each time. The people in Gangcheng are very picky. They won't eat those raised in other places. They only like those grown in Changbai Mountain."

The mother held Liu Dongxue's child in her arms and introduced the empire she had conquered to her son-in-law.

Feilong Farm, Colorful Pheasant Farm and Wild Boar Farm are the pioneers in the country. They have been on CCTV and have been interviewed by reporters from all over the country. There are also many breeders developing in the surrounding areas of Jilin Province, hundreds of them large and small.

Wild animals have their own flavor, and farmed animals have their own advantages. However, in the long run, hunting is a foregone conclusion. Perhaps in three to five years, or perhaps in ten to eight years, all the homemade guns and hunting rifles in every household will have to be taken back, and it will be impossible to hunt casually anymore.

The forest farm is an example. At the beginning, there were anti-aircraft heavy machine guns, and the security department was on duty with five or six semi-automatic machine guns. Now, what is left? The security department only has dozens of civilian-grade hunting rifles. When it comes to the private kimchi factory, the security department went through the Forestry Bureau to get six hunting rifles, and everyone else had to patrol with sticks. This is how the times have changed.

The mother scolded the third daughter: "I don't know why your brain is so dull. You are the most learned of the four sisters, and the fourth one is not as learned as you, but you are the most stubborn."

"I thought too highly of some things and read too many books."

"You are just too far away from home and lack guidance. Look at your uncle, such a great doctor, but he never knocks on people's doors to treat them. Others always come to him, such as the workers in large state-owned enterprises and factories. You feel sorry for them when they are unemployed, and you want to fight for their rights, but you should also see their attitude towards work. Everything has a cause and effect, so don't interfere too much in other people's affairs. Just like in the provincial capital, when Xiao Liu was the director, the most cases he encountered were those of men in the family who were gamblers. It was really difficult to correct them. This kind of thing can only be changed from the inside out."

"I am the one who sees things clearly. I have also figured it out. I don't care about these things anymore. My second sister is going to open a shipyard. Zhu Ming and I will be the chief engineers. Together we will build a 10,000-ton ship."

The eldest sister opened her mouth and said: "Second sister is really capable of making trouble. She doesn't keep an eye on the kimchi factory every day and runs around the world."

After returning home, Liu Dongxue left the child to her mother and found a fish basket she had made a few years ago at the foot of the wall.

"Second sister, let's go fishing. We haven't eaten willow root fish for a long time. Where are Daya and Erya?"

"They should be here by now. They usually live in the forest farm, so it's convenient for them to pick up and drop off the children. They come back to the village occasionally."

As they were talking, the two arrived. Daya rode a handsome motorcycle and carried Erya. The two had undergone earth-shaking changes in their figures. They wore thin tops and had muscular bodies, but they were feminine, and there was light and spirit in their eyes, not the dull feeling in their eyes before.

"Dongxue, you've changed a lot in a few years." Daya parked the car and came over.

"Well, you two have really changed. We were just talking about going fishing. Let's get some willow root fish together. This fish can't be eaten outside."

The four of them took a scoop net, a fish basket, wooden sticks and other tools and went to the river.

Daya inserted a wooden stick into the mud and used another wooden stick to hit the stick stuck in the mud. After a while, earthworms came out of the mud.

Dongxue was very surprised: "I remember we used to catch earthworms here when we were little. Why are there still earthworms here?"

Erya explained: "This is where the butchers kill pigs. Every time they kill pigs, the blood will be splashed into the mud. There are enough nutrients, so there are naturally more earthworms. It's just like flies. If there is a pile of manure there, there will be flies no matter how hard you try. But if you clean up the manure, the flies will not come here."

Liu Dongxue suddenly understood. All these years of confusion had finally been solved.

Willow root fish are relatively small, generally about ten centimeters in length. They are attracted into the fish basket with crushed earthworms and steamed buns as bait. They can be pulled out every ten minutes or so, and each time there are more than a dozen, which is very satisfying.

Liu Dongxue and Erya were fishing for willow root fish here, while Liu Xialian and Daya went to the side with fishing rods to fish for giant croaker.

In recent years, many people in other villages have been fishing, but more than 70% of the young people in the villages near Lijiatun have followed Liu Xialian to develop their careers, and the village has become quieter. In addition, Li Hu arranges to release small fish fry here every year, so the fish are particularly abundant. Standing on the shore and looking into the water, you can see many fish.

The amberjack is a carnivorous fish. First, catch a few small fish. It is very easy to catch the small fish after the big hook pierces them.

Half an hour later, Liu Xia Lian caught a bighead carp and Daya caught two bighead carps.

Daya suggested: "Sister, let's go to the Blueberry Garden Bee Farm to get some honey. There are more than 30 bee colonies left, and they are full of honey."

"Okay, let's go, let the big black mule pull us there."

The two men gave the fish to Liu Dongxue and the others and went home to catch up with the big black mule. The once naughty big black mule is now ten years old. Although it is still very strong, it is no longer naughty and only knows how to pull the cart steadily.

There are few large-scale nectar sources in Changbai Mountain. The bees in the apiary only come back when the lime trees are in bloom. The dozens of groups that stay behind are mainly used to pollinate blueberries.

It was unfortunate that I arrived there, as the beekeeper had just returned home.

The two of them had no choice but to put on bee hats and do it themselves. This job had been done before and it didn't look too difficult, but it was actually very difficult.

Shake off all the bees on the honey comb, then cut off the cap with a bee knife, put the comb into the honey shaker and shake it vigorously.

The two of them worked hard to prepare four honeycombs and actually got ten kilograms of honey, which was sticky all over their hands.

When I came back, my mother had already prepared half of the meal. When she saw the two of them coming back, she asked, "Where have you and Daya been? If you don't come back, we'll have finished our meal."

"Look, we went to shake the honey and got more than ten kilograms of honey from the bee farm."

"You guys are really capable. There is no big source of nectar this season. Don't let the bees starve to death."

"Not really. The linden trees will bloom soon. Besides, there are so many flowers and plants in the mountains. How could the bees starve to death?"

When the third brother-in-law saw his mother-in-law cooking, he was shocked. How could it be exactly the same as what they had yesterday: stewed dragon, stewed pheasant, and stewed fish.

There isn't much else to Northeastern cuisine except stews. The meat is good to eat, but since they are all from the Northeast, it's hard for him, an outsider, to say anything. Just eat it.

Fortunately, Liu Dongxue was very sensible and arranged to cook some vegetables for her husband. Lijiatun specializes in growing vegetables, so there must be a lot of varieties, including cucumbers, rapeseed, celery, etc.
