Waste Wood Farming Notes

When they came to the mountain, there was a place where various kinds of bamboo grew, and there were many small animals at the spring, and when they came, they scared them away.

He Anle took a step forward and observed the traces on the ground. They were all from the footprints of small animals, and the spring was really small, only a hole the size of a large bowl.

"Before the sun comes out, let's cut down the bamboo first, and choose the big ones to chop." He Anle directed at the side, these bamboos are big and thick, it is not easy to cut down, two people carry one, It was easy to carry it back.

And they have to try to move them back home before other people find out. There is not much time left for them. After all, if the villagers know about it, they will still have opinions. They chopped so many bamboos at once and went back. When they can use bamboo to grow leeks, they will probably be even more dissatisfied.

Their family eats meat, and other people in the village still have to drink some soup. It is best for them to earn a little more money while the water is still available.

He Anle felt a little unhappy. It would be great if they found out about this method earlier, but the other people in the village probably wouldn't think so long-term, right?

They only think that the drought will end soon, so why do so many things?Waste of energy.

Now, He Anle secretly thought, as long as they do something now, they will definitely agree, who would dislike too much money?

Everyone was chopping bamboo hard. Li Tianfu tried it, but gave up and went to help clean up the branches and forks of the chopped bamboo. This way, it would be much easier for them to move home.

Seeing everyone sweating profusely, Li Tianfu rubbed his arms indiscriminately, feeling uncomfortable due to the reaction force of the knife on the branch and fork.

"Brother He, can we use a saw to cut bamboo?" Li Tianfu asked, wiping the sweat off his face.

He Anle nodded, "After I go back, I'll go to Chen's house to see if they have a big saw. The small saw in our house is not suitable."

For what he usually wants to do, he can use it to saw some small logs, but for such a big bamboo, I don’t know how long it takes to saw a piece of bamboo. The efficiency is not as fast as they can chop with a hatchet.

However, He Anle looked at Fu Geer's movements and knew that his palms must be red now, and said, "The branches and forks you cut off are relatively small, but they can be cut off with a saw."

After working for a while, Li Tianfu couldn't take it anymore, so he went to the side to rest, regretting in his heart, why did he come here to suffer?

He looked down at his palm, it was red, and there were a few spots that looked like they were about to blister.

I got a little bit of water at the spring, and it wasn't that uncomfortable to get on it.

After resting for a while, Li Tianfu looked at them working hard, and was embarrassed to continue. Speaking of which, the men of the Li family were the most surprised. You know, Brother Fu is at home, let alone cleaning up bamboo. There is no need to do tedious work, even washing dishes.

They work, Fu Geer only needs to stay on the side, if you don't like to watch them work, you can go back to bed and lie down.

So seeing Fu Geer working with them without saying a word today, they felt unreal.

Fogger wanted to work, but they had to stop him.

If you don't stop him now, his mother won't be happy when she sees the blisters on Fu Ge'er's hands when she goes back.

Once his mother is unhappy, they will be the ones who will suffer. He can almost imagine how his mother will scold them then.

"Brother Fu, are you tired? You can just rest on the sidelines, and leave the rough work to us."

"Yes, if you feel bored, just look for some wild fruits or wild vegetables near here."

Li Youtian also joined the ranks of persuasion, "Leave the rest to us. If you get blisters on your hands, you will be the one who will suffer."

They work here, but he runs to play. For him, picking wild fruits is really just playing in disguise. Isn't it good?

"Go along the path on your left. There are more wild fruits in that direction. I don't know if there will be any fruit this year? Fu Geer, where do you go to see? There are more slopes over there. Be careful. Don't take risks with wild fruits that you can't pick." He Anle said calmly, he knows best about Fu Ge'er, and how to persuade Fu Ge'er can persuade him.

There are many wild fruits!Maybe there will be chestnuts!

Li Tianfu's eyes lit up, he looked at him and said, "Yeah, I won't run far, I'll be back soon."

He got up, took away the bags they brought up, and said with a smile, "I'm going to pick wild fruits."

Li Tianfu quickened his pace and disappeared from everyone's sight in a short while. He walked carefully towards the road, found a dry branch in his hand, and knocked everywhere on the grass on both sides of the road. Out came a snake.

He walked a dozen steps, and at a corner, he looked at the fruit trees in front of him, showed a smile, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction. There are indeed many things here, but most of them are long. On the slope, the angle of inclination makes people afraid to run up to pick wild fruits easily.

These wild fruits that other people dare not go up to pick are just cheap for him now, he doesn’t need to be close to them, because he has the cheating tool of space, standing under the tree, standing at a farther place, he will soon be able to Pick those fruits.

I don’t know why, most of the wild fruits here have not been picked by humans, only a small part is eaten by birds and beasts, and some are overripe, and no one picks them, so they fall to the ground and rot. .

Looking around, Li Tianfu was standing at a long distance, while picking the few wild fruits on the tree, while using the space to pick the hard-to-get ones, turning around among the branches, his hair was caught by the branches Many come out.

After picking off all the obviously ripe wild fruits, he couldn't help but pick up a big, red wild fruit, rubbed it on his clothes, put it in his mouth and bit it, the sweet and sour taste spread , Li Tianfu felt that his saliva came out all of a sudden, and he ate several in a row before he was reluctant to put down the rest.

After picking half a bag of wild fruits, Li Tianfu looked around for a week and thought to himself, these wild fruits are almost ready. During the period of time he came out, he was able to pick so many wild fruits, which is already very good!

He struggled to carry the bag in his hand, half of the bag of fruit was quite heavy.

"What is this?" He Anle trotted over and asked while taking the things in his hands.

Li Tianfu wiped the sweat off his face, then said with a smile, "These are wild fruits I picked."

Seeing that He Anle didn't believe it, he quickly explained: "I didn't go to a dangerous place, I picked these things myself in a safe place."

He Anle looked him over and didn't find any scars on his body, so he gave up.

"Wild fruits are important, but your life is even more important. We don't lack those wild fruits, understand?"

Li Tianfu nodded sharply, "I understand."

The rest of the people were dealing with the bamboo branches. These branches are very flammable when used as firewood, but they are still wet now. They have to be left here and picked out after drying.

The tail of the bamboo is too thin, so it is not necessary.

So at the end, there was no need for two people to carry a bamboo, and one person carried a bamboo and returned home. Li Tianfu took the bag of wild fruits. At this time, the chimneys of the villagers started to smoke. They have returned to the front of the house.

The bag of wild fruits brought back by Li Tianfu was loved by all the family members, especially his mother, Zhao Xiaomei, who was pregnant this time, especially liked to eat sour wild fruits, one after another, gnawed with relish.

It makes people feel toothache just looking at it. Others picked out riper wild fruits and ate them.

Those sour fruits were picked out by Li Liushi, and they were all snacks that Zhao Xiaomei ate on a daily basis. As for the other wild fruits, everyone in the family divided them into two, and the rest were taken by Li Liushi stand up.

Wild fruits are different from sweet potatoes. Not only can they not be stored for a long time, but they can't be dried in the sun. If they are dried, the best way is to pickle them.

Mrs. Li Liu found Fu Ge'er and said quietly: "Fu Ge'er, did you meet many wild fruits on the mountain?"

If there are many wild fruits, Mrs. Li Liu will pickle them to preserve the moisture in their bodies.If there are not many, she will collect these wild fruits first, and the whole family can get rid of them in a few days.

Li Tianfu thought for a while, then shook his head slightly, "There are not many wild fruits on the mountain, only some hidden places still have fruits. You know, the villagers often go to the mountains to find food, and there are not many wild fruits left at all. Yes, the place I went to today was lucky, and it was not discovered by others."

Now the position in his space is quite vacant, so he naturally needs to find something to fill it.

He hid some more things, and when the time came to find Fourth Sister, he could bring some more to her.

If they went to work on the mountain, it would only take half an hour, and half of the time was spent on their way back and forth.

After finishing the work, they started the next step. The rest of the family had already done their work. In order to prevent the bamboo from splitting in the middle, they did not dare to chop with knives. They directly found the biggest saw in the family, but Still not enough, this saw is still small.

Li Tianfu rolled his eyes, and then volunteered: "I'll go to Chen's house and ask, does their house have a bigger saw?"

After speaking, Li Tianfu quickly ran out.

"Brother Fu? Do you want us?" The person who opened the door was still Chen Yi's wife.

Seeing that it would be Fu Geer coming alone, he asked a little strangely.

"Auntie, do you have a bigger saw?" Li Tianfu asked with a smile.

"Of course there is."

"My grandma asked me to come and buy one." Li Tianfu said, showing two small canine teeth.

"Okay, come in and wait for a while. The things you brought back haven't been sorted out thoroughly. It will take a while to find them." Chen Yi's wife said.

Li Tianfu shook his head and walked in after her.

"It's okay, I can wait. However, I didn't bring the money, can I give you the money later?"

"No problem." Chen Yi's daughter-in-law smiled.

The members of his family can escape the monks but not the temple, so he is very relieved about this.

It's time for the Chen family to have breakfast. Their family's breakfast is good, and they eat egg pancakes.

"Fu Geer, have you had breakfast yet? These are the pancakes I made, take these and taste them."

Li Tianfu lowered his head with a blushing face, he had forgotten that it was time to eat, he should come back later, this way it would not be so embarrassing.

"No need, we've already had breakfast." Li Tianfu refused with a smile.

"You're welcome, Brother Fu, my cooking skills are pretty good."

Li Tianfu quickly waved his hand, "We have already eaten, otherwise I won't be polite, you don't mind me, just eat!"

After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, when Li Tianfu got the big saw, he almost couldn't wait to go home.

"Grandma, I brought the saw back." Li Tianfu held the saw in his hand preciously. Knowing the price of this big saw, it must be expensive, "Grandma, I forgot to bring money there."

Li Liushi nodded, "I'll take the money later, you just stay at home!"

"Boss and second, you two help to saw the bamboo into sections." Li Liushi directly ordered, "You three and four, take a break first, and you use things to remove the joints in the middle of the bamboo, be careful , don’t break the bamboo.”

"Grandma, what are you doing with us?" Li Tianfu came to He Anle and asked.

Li Liushi nodded, "You two have another task."

Everyone in the family is helping with the work, so the soil in one room, they just spread a layer of soil up to the calf, and it still smells of rotting leaves. Li Tianfu took a look and felt that the efficiency of the family is still quite high of.

"Fu Geer, do you think this height is acceptable?"

The roots of vegetables grown at home do not grow long, so the soil at this height is fine. The wood ash saved at home was brought over and placed at the door. After Li Liushi planned to plant leeks, Sprinkle wood ash around it.

In this way, leeks cannot grow well or grow fast.

Li Tianfu had never done such a thing before, he hesitated and said, "It should be fine!"

"Be careful, both of you, let's help plant leeks!" Mrs. Li looked at the room in front of her, as if she saw a steady stream of money. The room used this time belonged to the elders.

Li Liushi was a little selfish in choosing the room of the old master. After she succeeded, she planned to separate the profitable business. At that time, the old master would not need to continue to work.

No, it should be said that Fu Ge'er doesn't have to work. They can plant the seeds, but of course they have to give them to Fu Ge'er for sale. In this way, she can collect part of the money from it.

This method was thought up by Fu Geer, and of course they had to pay part of the money to Fu Geer.Li Liushi thought confidently.

Planting leeks is very convenient. Two people work together, and they quickly planted a room. A room is not considered big, but they planted it densely. Mrs. Li and Liu kept the leeks for cooking next time. It was dug up and planted here.

They found a long bamboo pole, which is more convenient for watering or doing other things.

In order to avoid inconvenience when cutting leeks in the future, they also left a way out to ensure that they would not step on other leeks when they entered.

Mrs. Li threw the wood ash in, and said to the two of them, "You have been helping our family for so long today, and your things are not ready yet, right?"

Li Tianfu nodded, "Then let's go back first."

They also have a lot of work, relying on the two of them to work, it is estimated that it will take two or three days to work.

Li Liushi said: "When you leave, take some of the bamboo they made back home, so as to save you trouble."

Li Tianfu said hesitantly: "Grandma, this is not good!"

Li Liushi glared at him, "What's wrong with that? You guys have a share in chopping this bamboo back, so you can take it back if you want it back."

"Well, let's continue to cut bamboo on the mountain tomorrow!" Li Tianfu said, "The size of this bamboo, if there are not so many clay pots at home, we can cut the bamboo into sections... Forget it, we don't have any pots at home." There are so many leeks to grow, if only I could think of this idea sooner."

He said regretfully that he thought it would be good to use bamboo tubes as pots to grow some vegetables, but it was probably too late. They had already spent a lot of energy managing the leeks at home, so they might as well do it specially. One, in this way, if you take good care of them, you can earn a lot of money.

Li Liushi looked at him inexplicably.

Li Tianfu waved his hands and said, "It's okay, let's go back and get busy with family affairs first."

After speaking, he and He Anle went home with a lot of bamboo. Li Tianfu was not in a good mood, because after seeing the bamboo, he realized that this idea was really unrealistic.

just forget it.

What he hopes now is that the leeks he grows can grow quickly and be sold to earn money. In this way, they can persuade other people in the village to work together.

No, no, no, Li Tianfu suddenly thought, it's okay not to be like this.

After half a month has passed, the water level of the well is estimated to drop a lot, and everyone will be even more reluctant to grow vegetables by then.

This water is for life.

"Brother He, what do you think of this? Let's tell other people the news by the way. Most people won't make such big moves like us before they see the silver, but you can also let them do it in their own home." In the yard, grow some vegetables."

He Anle rubbed his head, "Well, this method is also good."

He doesn't care much about the villagers, they can do whatever they like, as long as it doesn't hinder their lives, since Fu Geer has already said so, of course He Anle agreed to him.

Li Tianfu has obviously forgotten that they want to make a fortune first.

It's okay, anyway, other people won't be as courageous as his grandma, and most of them don't have wells. Other families who have wells probably don't bother to plant this to sell it for money, at most they grow it for their own food.

"Fu Geer, let's go to the village chief after dinner." He Anle stopped him, feeling a little helpless for Fu Geer's agitated behavior.

"Oh, that's right, let's get things done at home first!" Li Tianfu retracted the lifted foot.

"Are you hungry? Let's eat something to fill our stomachs first. There is still a long time before noon." He Anle changed the subject, working in the morning, the food in his stomach had already been digested.

Speaking of this, Li Tianfu really felt a little hungry, and he hadn't worked for a long time, that's what it would be like.

There was still a lot of breakfast left, the two of them heated it up and finished it all, Li Tianfu rubbed his stomach, remembered the egg pancakes from the Chen family, and said: "Brother He, let's eat egg pancakes tomorrow morning! "

"Okay." He Anle nodded. The family had accumulated a lot of eggs. There were no chickens in the family before, but when they were raised later, his aunt would be responsible for feeding them. There were more than ten hens in total.

All they feed is rice bran plus some lettuce. Because they feed a lot, their family can have eight eggs a day, and sometimes even ten. Even if the He family eats a meal of scrambled eggs from time to time , there are still a lot left.

Eggs slowly piled up. He Xiaozhi made a lot of salted eggs, but there were still a lot of eggs left. After a period of time, the hens did not lay eggs, and the eggs saved at home could be used for a different taste.

Their family doesn't have many other things, but they have a lot of rice bran. Some of the rice He Anle buys are shelled, and the other part is not shelled. The latter can be stored for a longer period of time.

They didn't have any pigs in their family, let alone eat rice bran. Of course, the hoarded rice bran was used to raise chickens.
