The leisurely life of Lin Yuxi

"Don't think about it too much. I understand what your third grandpa means. Now every village and county is engaged in economic development. The surplus land, forests, and paozi in the village have to be contracted out, and the village can enjoy some income. Our village Unlike other villages, they all rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and they are not good at farming. Each household only has a few acres of land. Others go to the mountains every spring and autumn to dig wild vegetables, and their income can catch up with other villages. The local income is enough for a year, and there are so many wild animals in the mountains, who would bother to grow them by themselves.” The third uncle took two puffs of cigarettes and continued, “There are a lot of mountains and mountains near our village, so it’s not easy to take them out. I guess you Third Grandpa thought that your uncle could give you some money, so he found you. But if you have a lot of money, it would be good to buy it. The mountain in the back is [-] or [-] acres, just behind our two families. The contract price should not be high now, and you need to apply for felling trees on the mountain, but how can you have six or seven acres of open land, and you don’t have to clean it up. Just plant trees in the spring next year, and it will be a fortune after eleven or twelve years. I need your attention."

Yuxi nodded, "Then let me think about it." After dinner, he came to Third Uncle to ask about the situation.Uncle San didn't know much, but what he said was right, the contract price was really wrong now, the shop in the capital had already earned a lot of money, and it was enough to pay the contract fee.

The next morning, Yuxi went to practice on the mountain, and went to the top of the mountain when she returned.In fact, this mountain is connected to their own private mountain, but their private mountain is very short, like a bag of earth. The mountain waiting to be contracted is quite high, with a small valley that is not very deep in the middle. The dividing line in the middle is not very clear.Yuxi is also troublesome because it knows the terrain here. If it is contracted by others, in case of conflicts due to land boundaries in the future, it will not be easy for their family to keep the mountain.

What's more, when Yuxi thinks that the back of their house has become someone else's, I feel awkward in my heart. Hongling Village is actually surrounded by mountains. Yes, but when the third uncle and the others went to the west, there were almost three mountains, and there were few open spaces. Basically, there were not a few homesteads, but Lin Mingqing surrounded his homestead, and the surrounding area was occupied.

There is a large area in front of Yuxi's house, but when we go out, some white birch forests planted by Yuxi's grandfather, and some trees planted in the village before, have become a climate after more than ten or twenty years, and now they are not allowed to be cut down randomly. Trees, if the villagers have applied for using trees, they must have a valid reason for cutting one tree and planting five trees. It's troublesome, it's better to cut it casually in their own yard.

This resulted in a relatively quiet environment around Yuxi's house. Now the other side of their house is the third uncle's house and Lin Mingqing's house. These three families occupy this mountain pass.Yuxi didn't want to destroy the harmony here because the mountain behind was contracted by other people.

Thinking of this, it is a certainty to contract the mountain forest. Yuxi took a look and found that the trees on this mountain are wild, most of which are oak trees. Occasionally, you can see a few sylvestris pines. Most of them are bushes. Yuxi saw that the land is not very good. There are some rocks. This one is about four or five acres. It is estimated that the seven or eight acres of land that can be planted according to the third uncle does not count this. He visually inspected it. If the mountain is included in this land, it is about 23 mu. The land is not good, so no one counts it.

But this piece of land can’t be used for anything else. Rhododendrons are no problem. The cowhide rhododendrons he transplanted before have all survived. Maybe it’s because of the formation, and they are all growing well. Some tea, bought it and got back the cost, and he didn't plan to do anything more, it's definitely good to grow naturally with formations.Just like the persimmons in the yard.

For the rest of the mountain, just plant some trees as the third uncle said, and don't worry about it.

I calculated it in my head, no matter how I looked at it, it was very suitable.

After going down the mountain, Yuxi was in a good mood. Jiang Sen was boxing in the yard, watching Yuxi enter the hospital in a good mood, "Why is the trouble solved?"

"Well, I'm going to contract the back mountain. What do you think?"

Yesterday, Jiang Sen didn't inquire about it, but now he knows, "It's a good thing. Now the price of contracting forests is not expensive. If you plant trees, they will become useful after ten years, and you can get back your money if you sell them." I know this too well, but I can also analyze it, "Now some forest farms in the south are not felled like before. In addition to the big fire earlier, tree planting is advocated everywhere, and the price of wood is also very high. Compared with growing grain Strong, and the most important thing is that it is easy to take care of.”

Yuxi smiled and nodded, "I think so too."

"How long is your contract?" Jiang Sen asked, remembering something.

"30 years. What did the third master say?"

"I've heard people say that land contracting has a three-year limit, and that the forest can last up to the 70s. You can discuss it with your village committee and increase the limit." Then Jiang Sen shook his head again, "I seem to remember that Listen to it, and ask again."

Yuxi thought about it, since she decided to contract for as long as possible.

After breakfast, Yuxi went to the third master's house to ask about the situation, but the third master didn't say he was dead, but said to study further.Yuxi knew that she always talked to the third master at a certain age, so she went to the third uncle to make peace.The third uncle Yuxi really lived up to expectations, and he wrote to him when he came back that he was [-]% sure.

Just like that, he waited for more than a week, and the third master told him to increase the age limit to the 70s.But now that there have been rumors outside, they can't operate internally, and they still have to wait a few years to confirm.Yuxi was not in such a hurry, she just called the uncle first to calculate the accounts of the store.In fact, there is no need to pay immediately for contracting mountain forests. Now the policy is good, and the contract is paid first, which means that there are so many empty-handed wolves.Just because the threshold is low, Yuxi is still afraid that others will rob him, so he keeps some money in his hand to prepare.

It was New Year's Day while talking, and they didn't pay much attention to the Gregorian year, and Yuxi's family did the same, but everyone always sat together for a meal.Jiang Sen wanted to eat sauerkraut for several days. Yuxi got up early in the morning and took out a sauerkraut from the sauerkraut tank, took a bite of the core, it was very sour.

I took out two and prepared to eat hot pot at noon.They can't eat hot pot once a year, mainly because of trouble.

After breakfast, I started to prepare. I sent the second fat brother to Taoteng charcoal. Yuxi first stewed two thigh bones in a pot. This is the bottom soup. When the bone soup is thick, put it in a copper hot pot , add sauerkraut, stew it first, and then put some pork belly in it, the taste is almost the same as that of butchered vegetables.

There is also dried seafood in it, this time there is no need to buy it, Han Haoyang sent a lot, dried clams, dried shrimps, and small thumb-sized crabs, these are all to enhance the flavor of the soup.

The bottom of the pot is almost ready. The beef and mutton are frozen. Yuxi cuts it with a kitchen knife. It is hard enough for ordinary people to cut, but he can cut large and thin slices. Everyone in the family can eat meat. He I cut a lot and prepared, mushrooms, frozen tofu, blood sausage, thin vermicelli.

There are no peppers, leek flowers, fermented bean curd, and chili oil in the pot. Whoever wants to eat can put it by himself. The stew in the pot is already salty, so you can eat it right away. You don’t need to make special sauces. The big pot The bones continue to boil, and the soup can be added at any time.

Although there are not many shabu-shabu dishes, the shabu-shabu dishes in the pot are very good. The more you eat, the stronger the taste. Yuxi's mother used to eat like this, and he learned it by watching.

Jiang Sen really likes sauerkraut, he doesn't boil the meat when it comes up, he just stares at the sauerkraut.Yuxi’s two younger brothers also like it very much. It’s the first time for Sanwa to eat this hot pot. The little guy is always eager to eat meat, and he doesn’t ask Yuxi to help. Maybe it’s more delicious to eat it by himself, and his stomach is full when he gets off the table. Yuxi hurried him out of the house and let him digest in the yard.

"Just to eat this meal, you have been busy all morning, so it's troublesome." Jiang Sen helped Yuxi wash the dishes, watching him put away the hot pot and said.

"Is it a holiday, let's have a good time." Yuxi didn't feel tired, and always felt happy to let her family eat delicious food.Although he wasn't hungry, but when his parents passed away, he thought it would be very good to make meat buns for Erwa.Now that life is better, Yuxi doesn't have too many demands, as long as she can eat whatever she wants, it's good for her two younger brothers.

In his memory, his mother is not like other women in the village, she always cooks just enough. His mother is a little particular about cooking. There must be porridge for breakfast. Small pickles and mixed vegetables, which also made Yuxi develop the habit of eating porridge and side dishes for breakfast. You must know that other people in the village usually have leftovers from last night for breakfast.As for lunch and dinner, there are too many tricks to make do.

When Yuxi became the head of the family, he figured out everything by himself. It is undeniable that his mother had a profound influence on him.

"The second baby and the third baby are very lucky to have an older brother like you." Jiang Sen said suddenly when he heard the laughter of the second baby and the third baby outside.

Yuxi looked out the window and shook her head, "No, I'm more lucky because of them." Without them, he might be a homeless person today.They taught him responsibility.

Jiang Sen looked at Yuxi, he looked out the window, his eyes revealed a warm light, looking very clean.There was a sudden movement in my heart.He quickly lowered his head, took a deep breath, and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.He felt that he was getting more and more abnormal these days.

"Brother Jiang, I'm going to the county tomorrow, will you go?" Yuxi turned her head and said.

"What are you going to do in the county?" Jiang Sen calmed down and asked back.

"Brother Mingzhi called me and asked me to pick up something. He is very busy now, so he asked me to pick it up. It seems to be some kind of stove. I can't tell on the phone."

"I'll go with you on that trip tomorrow."
