Wearing back to ancient times is good for old age

I don't know if his body in modern times is gone. Parents may be sad when he is gone, but after a long time, he may be forgotten. But in this time and space, he still lives his life with such distant memories in his heart. I don't know if it's because Feng Ye did something outrageous and was punished by God.

"Grasshopper, Grasshopper..." Feeling the change of Feng Ye's mood, the baby in his arms called out uneasily.

"Feng Ye, what's wrong with you?" Uncle Qing also noticed that something was wrong with Feng Ye, who was obviously fine just now.

"It's nothing, I was scalded by tofu, hehe...Scholarly family" Feng Ye poked his face in embarrassment, lowered his head and sniffed, and took a long breath, alas, it seems that Master Zhu Ziqing's skill is too deep, it's all like this It's so sad after such a long time, really!

Seeing him like this, Mu Qing thought that maybe he missed his relatives, so he couldn't say anything, after all, he didn't know anything, so he could only look after him more in his future life.

……

New Year's Eve is finally here, and the barbecue that Feng Ye has been thinking about for a long time will be ready soon.

You heard that right, Feng Ye is planning to make a barbecue part, this is a repertoire for Chinese New Year, how can it be missing, he has planned it for a long time! On the 27th day, someone was slaughtering a cow and selling it. Feng Ye was lucky enough to buy some beef and brisket. He had already cut and marinated the two catties of beef, and it was just waiting for New Year's Eve.

However, there is still a lot of work to be done before the barbecue arrives. Feng Ye basically doesn't need to do housework, but he still has to do sacrifices and so on.

So after eating in the morning, Feng Ye took the sacrificial food and sacrificial utensils prepared by Uncle Qing to the ancestral hall and temple.

Feng Yena’s sacrifice food is the typical folk “one animal and three animals” here, that is, a piece of pork, a whole chicken, a duck egg and a goose egg. In addition, there are noodles, rice cakes, fragrant wheat and fragrant radish representing five grains and vegetables.I heard from Uncle Qing that if it is the royal family and princes, it is necessary to prepare three animals and six animals, which is called "too prison", and also prepare five grains, vegetables and fruits.It's really troublesome, but now it's different from the usual festivals, and the sacrificial food and sacrificial utensils must be fully prepared, so it can't be careless.Take sacrificial utensils as an example, the folks here follow the "seven wines, five teas and eight chopsticks", which means to prepare a set of seven wine bottles, a set of five teacups, eight pairs of red paper waist chopsticks, Quantitatively it is very strict.This has become an unspoken rule among the people. If you violate it, you will be blamed, and if it is serious, you will be punished.Uncle Qing said that once someone used only three wine glasses to celebrate the New Year, but was invited by the county magistrate to eat in prison for a few days.Feng Ye was so depressed, he originally planned to use only three wine glasses and teacups, and he didn't even remember to use chopsticks (in fact, he didn't know), sweat, this feudal superstitious society!

Fortunately, Uncle Qing helped to prepare, Feng Ye rejoiced, and at the same time made up his mind to ask Uncle Qing about the customs and taboos here, lest he fall into it one day.

There were a lot of people who came to sacrifice, Feng Ye went in with his things, and when he saw what others did, he followed suit.This is the safest.

After returning home from the sacrifice, Feng Ye assisted Uncle Qing to prepare all kinds of food for the New Year, and posted the couplets written by Uncle Qing. Uncle Qing's handwriting is really beautiful. Many couplets in the village were written by Uncle Qing.

After lunch, everyone went to take a nap. In the evening, we have to watch the New Year's Eve, so it's best to stay more energetic.

At dinner time, Feng Ye worshiped his ancestors in his main room before eating.The food that was used for sacrifices was already a little cold, and there was a strong smell of incense, which will probably be like this in the next few days, Feng Ye decided to get hot pot.

After taking a bath at night, offering offerings to the ancestors and the Kitchen God and lighting the ever-burning lamps, Feng Ye began to work on his barbecue.It's a pity that "New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year are not available". Today, only a few members of my family can do it. Otherwise, I will invite Aunt Gao, Carpenter Zhang and the others together. It will be fun if everyone is lively.

There was no barbecue sauce in ancient times, so Feng Ye simply made a dipping sauce with soy sauce, mushroom powder, minced garlic, and star anise powder, and prepared homemade salt and pepper, chili sauce, and bought honey wine. The bamboo sticks were made a long time ago Well, the main ingredients of the barbecue are beef slices, a few chicken wing tips, chicken legs, small fish and leeks.

The fire was already raging, and the tip of a chicken wing and a string of beef roasted by Feng Ye quickly changed color. He used a small spoon to spread the dipping sauce and continued to roast. Soon, the tip of the chicken wing was sizzling. The oil star was raised, and the fragrance also wafted out.

Uncle Qing was watching, and at this time he also imitated him and started grilling the meat, and the smell of meat in the room became stronger.Xing'er, who was placed on the big armchair next to him, smelled the fragrance, and was unwilling to play with his favorite balloon (it was a pirated product made of oilcloth and cotton by Fengye), with a small body lying on the back of the chair, big eyes Staring at the grilled things in Feng Ye and Uncle Qing's hands in turn, muttering: "Fatty meat, eat meaty meat, delicious meaty meat!"

Haha, this greedy little thing!

There was someone to talk with, this long night was not boring anymore, the two of them ate and chatted, the time passed fairly quickly, and when the windy night began to doze off, midnight finally came, and the firecrackers of every family in the village were vying to be the first There was a crackling sound, and for a while, the entire mountain village was enveloped in the deafening sound of firecrackers, the faint smell of gunpowder smoke permeated the cold air, and the night sky was condensed into a vast expanse of whiteness.

The small animals on the mountain were all startled and screamed, and the sound of birds flapping their wings could be heard even in the windy night.As soon as the sound of firecrackers sounded, Xing'er, who had been asleep for a long time, was also awakened. Feng Ye covered her ears and hugged her in her arms. Her eyes were extremely curious as she watched the scene of sparks splashing and firecracker paper flying around. .

The firecrackers were set off, and the new year was ushered in. Everyone tossed and yawned for most of the night and went to bed.

Propose marriage

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, although people were still sleepy because of yesterday's New Year's Eve observance, almost everyone got up very early because today they had to pay a visit to the society.

The moment before Feng Ye was called up by Uncle Qing, he was still dreaming. When he got up, he washed himself, put on a brand new robe, and tied his hair. A child raised in the countryside.

Visiting Shetou is a custom in many places in Anzhou. On the morning of the first day of the new year, the head of every household will bring everyone in the family, holding rice cakes, large and small, piled up into a small tower, to the Shetou in the village. Sacrifice and pay New Year's greetings.Shetou is a different kind of existence than temples. It worships the god of the land. It is somewhat similar to the ancient Chinese Sheri, except that the Chinese Sheri at that time were divided into Spring and Autumn. The time is actually around the beginning of spring and the beginning of autumn. .

In any agricultural society, the land is the basis for people's survival. The god of the land is the original god of the earth, just like the parents of the farmers. Only on the first day of the first lunar month, which heralds the beginning of a year, or when there is a natural disaster, will the Shangxiang sacrifice be held in a grand manner.

On this day, the normally deserted and deserted Shetou Temple was packed to the brim. Everyone wanted to join in the fun and have a good time. Those who had finished offering sacrifices did not leave their families, so they huddled on the lawn outside the temple to pay New Year’s greetings to each other. Children distributed red envelopes (red envelopes), and the children ran around happily.

Most of the people were wearing brightly colored new clothes, the women were wearing bright red and purple, but the men were all blue and gray, so when Feng Ye and his party arrived, they looked even more outstanding.

Feng Ye was wearing a light blue robe that had been prepared for a long time. Originally he preferred the white one with blue undertones, but since the ancients were always so sensitive to white, he chose this one. The little boy was dressed in robes just like the students from the academy in the city that Feng Ye saw when he went to the market for the first time.Mu Qing was wearing a sky-blue narrow-waisted gown, which looked elegant and proud.The cutest one is Xiao Xing'er, dressed from head to toe in silver-gray and white rabbit fur clothes, which Feng Ye bought from his cousin Li Changsheng and asked Aunt Gao to sew them. He hunted all year round and accumulated a lot of nitrate Good animal fur such as rabbit skin and roe deer skin.

Xing'er was originally cute as Yuxue. She was wearing furry clothes, a furry hat with a ball on it, and furry shoes on her feet. She was just a cute bunny. He was warmly cared for by the women in the village, and received a surprisingly large amount of lai sees.

Feng Ye paid New Year's greetings to all his uncles, aunts, aunts, aunts, aunts, and aunts. Surprisingly, he also received a lot of lai sees.Feng Ye is not considered an adult yet, so naturally he doesn't need to prepare Laisee, he just brings the wrapped Laisee to Uncle Qing, Uncle Qing must give it to him, he gives it the same as Feng Ye.

Feng Ye was a southerner in his previous life, and he didn't have the habit of eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year, so the priests still prepared hot pot for their meals every day, and only fried vegetables to worship their ancestors.

After the first day of junior high school, people will visit relatives and friends, and the newly married daughter will go back to her natal family to pay New Year's greetings to her parents and relatives, so the welcoming and sending off is very lively.

Even if people are not very rich in material life, they still spend the new year in a prosperous way, and the strong flavor of the new year permeates until the seventh day of the first lunar month.

Feng Ye's family business invited several guests, and also went to other people's houses for several banquets. They ate, drank and chatted with each other, and lived a full year like never before.There was only one incident that made Feng Ye depressed and helpless until now.

It's like this, one day when Feng Ye went to an uncle's house in the clan to pay New Year's greetings, everyone was chatting enthusiastically, and the oldest and most prestigious old uncle in the clan said in front of everyone in the clan,

"Li Tong's child grows really fast. You can see that he has grown so big in the blink of an eye. I think it was only so small when I went to take a bath for Sanchao. Li Tong, look at you, you are too old. Are you uncle? Book a marriage for you?"

"Hehe, that's right, that's the reason. Hurry up and make a marriage first. After two years, you can start a family."

"Isn't the so-and-so in our village just the right age? I think their family is not bad either..."

"That's not good, the two front teeth are crooked like that. The so-and-so from the so-and-so family is pretty good, the girl is handsome, and the brothers in the family are also capable..."

"According to me, tell me someone who knows how to run a house. The village near the county seat, the little niece of Mrs. Ming is suitable. I heard that female celebrities and kitchen chefs are first-class..."

"What's so good about that, I heard that girl is arrogant, don't wrong us, my little fellow, it's better to be from that certain family..."

……

Before Feng Ye realized what was going on, the three aunts and six wives on one side started talking in a hurry, and then they discussed what happened to the girls of each family without even asking the parties, like a war land.

The black line on Feng Ye's head fell straight down, aunt, I'm underage——I'm underage!He wanted to arrange a marriage for him, but the speechless old aunt in his heart asked Feng Ye with a smile: "Baby, you see that everyone has said so many things, which one do you like?"

Which do I like?I don't like either!The corners of Feng Ye's mouth twitched, his heart was filled with anger, and he had to smile on his face and said, "Uncle, aunts and aunts, I'm not yet an adult, let's talk about it in a few years."

"How many years will it take? Look, you are already fifteen now. If it wasn't for you—" poked Feng Ye on the shoulder, "You really look like a child, and you can get married this year. Why don't you hurry up?" Just decide on one, and when you want to marry in two years, all the good girls will be married away!" An aunt was as excited as if Feng Ye was his son.

But, I'm just a child, 15 years old, just started junior high school, early marriage is against the law, Feng Ye thought aggrievedly.

"Li Tong, don't you not like to listen to my uncle's bad words. You are the only one in your family. If you have something to do, your uncles and uncles must help you. If you uncles can't do it, why don't you You have uncles and uncles to make decisions for you. The most important things in life are the orders of your parents and the words of matchmakers. Your parents and grandparents are gone, and uncles and uncles are your elders. It is okay to make decisions for you. You see, while everyone is here , you just tell your uncle, what kind of girl you want, the old women will tell you!"

"Grandmother, this... I've really thought about it for two years..." Feng Ye froze with a smile on his face, scratching his head anxiously, he had to find a convincing reason quickly, or he would really be forced to marry.

"Grandmother, look, I'm not yet an adult yet... Although my family has just built a house, there is not much savings left. You also know that my family's land is sold and only two or three acres are left. I have more than enough for myself, but if I want to get married, don't say I can't come up with a bride price, even if I marry the girl back, I can't make her live a good life, right? Her relatives are also unwilling." Feng Ye After careful analysis, I saw that the old aunt and all the uncles and aunts were a little loose, and the scholarly family said, "I want to buy more fields in the past two years, so that the family can live a decent life. Only willingly."

Feng Ye felt that he could be promoted to become a matchmaker. Seeing how detailed the analysis of the situation was, the economic base determines the superstructure. This is an eternal truth, and everyone understands it.

"Everything hasn't started yet, and my uncle also knows that my younger brother has just arrived, and children without parents are just like me. I can't bear to push him away, can I? I don't know if the girl is willing Taking care of the children." The story of the sister-in-law driving the younger brother-in-law out is common in ancient and modern times, isn't the cowherd a typical example.

"I don't want to pick a good girl, honestly, as long as you are willing to live in the country with me." The criteria for choosing a spouse in Feng Ye's previous life are almost the same, as long as she is willing to live an ordinary life with her. "I'll ask all the aunts and aunts to tell me something after my family has survived these two years of hard life. There won't be any delay..."

Feng Ye made a round of analysis based on emotion and reason, and finally blocked the tide of forced marriage. As for the things that will happen after two years, let's wait two years and then figure out a solution.

Oh, how tired!

After this time, although there were still one or two people who wanted to match him, they all let him resign, and the engagement matter also subsided, but Feng Ye was still depressed for a long time.

Originally, he thought that his status as an orphan was quite good, that he was free and no one cared about him, but now he has become a sweet potato, and everyone wants to pretend to be his father, and he is in danger of losing his body at any time. (Great sweat)

-

A few days after the year, the weather became extremely cold, with patches of freezing rain mixed with the cold wind and cold rain. The dark sky seemed to be pressing on the heart, making people unhappy.Originally, if the weather was fine, the villagers would be ready to go down to do farming work, but now that the severe cold is coming, people are staying at home and not going out.

The cold and rainy day lasted until the eleventh day of the first lunar month. On the morning of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Feng Ye woke up and found that the ground was full of sunshine outside. The sky was extremely bright and dazzling due to the rainy days of the previous few days.People in the village ran out to bask in the sun one after another, and the bedding and clothes were dried in pieces.

The weather is getting better and the Lantern Festival is approaching. Everyone said that they want to hold a bonfire and lantern festival in the village. Feng Ye wondered if he should add a barbecue party.

In fact, the traditional program of the Lantern Festival in Dieshan Village is stealing vegetables. This kind of stealing vegetables is not stealing vegetables from QQ farms. Stealing vegetables from the fields, whoever grows the best vegetables will steal the most, which indicates that the life of that family will become more and more prosperous this year.Everyone combined the stolen dishes from several houses and made a late-night supper similar to a picnic. Eating other people's good dishes will also indicate that your family will be blessed with other people's good fortune, and life will pass. getting better and better.

Feng Ye had to sigh, the ancient countryside was full of such weird customs and exquisiteness.The Lantern Festival was originally a tradition from ancient times to the present, and the Dashang Dynasty was no exception.

Dieshan Village is not a big village, at least not under the rule of Wu County, and it is in a mountain corner. It is said that there will be a three-day lantern festival in the county town on the evening of the Lantern Festival, but it is only held at night, and it is far away and cold. No one wants to walk for more than half an hour just to see a lantern festival, but this is a serious festival, and it's not good to not have some activities.I heard from people in the village that in previous years, Dieshan Village had held bonfire dances, lighting competitions and so on.It seems that the working people are still working hard to enrich their lives!!!

busy

After the Lantern Festival, the New Year is completely over, and the life of the new year begins in front of people.The cold wave of the first month has passed, and more people in the village have gone up and down the mountain, and the busy year of the villagers is about to officially begin.

The beginning of spring, which represents the beginning of spring, has passed. The rain is coming, and the weather is slowly picking up, but the water vapor in the air is still very thick. Occasionally, for a day or two, there will be a resurgence day that is very annoying to the wind and night. The house is always tidal. , there is always a sense of gloom that cannot be removed.

Everyone in the village is nervously preparing for the spring plowing and seeding work, but Feng Ye's life is still very leisurely now, he only has three acres of land, and the wheat in the field has not yet been harvested, so there are not so many things to be busy with.The garlic has already been planted, and it was selected in the vegetable garden after the vegetables were plucked. There must be some onion, ginger and garlic, so I bought it for no reason.

On the contrary, the potatoes that Feng Ye had placed high hopes on had already bloomed and were not far from maturity.It was a bit late last year to plant the potatoes, but at least the climate here is not so cold. Anyway, the potatoes themselves are growing pretty well. Feng Ye plans to take them back after ten days or so when the weather gets warmer. Because it's time for early season sweet potatoes and various early spring melon and bean crops.

During the New Year's Eve, Feng Ye made a rough calculation and found that his income was very small, but his expenditure was needed every day. If it wasn't for the money from selling ginseng, Feng Ye would probably not be able to survive the year. Now It would also starve, let alone feed two people.This year is the beginning of the year, he has to plan well and implement it in time, so that the days can flow smoothly and the better.

Determined to pay attention, as soon as the weather improves, Feng Ye will take Mu Qing to sort out all the abandoned slopes at home, plow and bury them.

It has to be said that it is fast to work with a strong labor force. Feng Ye used to work alone for two days, but now it can be completed in less than a day. Now Feng Ye is ambitious and wants to acquire a few more acres of land. kind.However, for now, let's make full use of our own resources.

Feng Ye planted cassava and corn in the newly plowed land. The climate here is suitable for the sound growth of many two-season crops, so Feng Ye does not intend to waste it.

The plants of these two kinds of crops are tall and big, and the planting interval is large. The crops have not grown up, and there is still a lot of space in the field. Feng Ye plans to refer to the method of interplanting various crops that was always boasted in the newspapers in his previous life, and wait a few days. When the weather gets warmer, soybeans and peanuts are planted in alternate rows of cassava fields and corn fields.Both of these are multi-purpose crops that can be used to extract oil. I will see if I can get a stone mill or something to try to extract oil in the future. The oil in this era is really bad and expensive.

During the waking of insects, the spring thunder brought a few rains, and many bamboo shoots appeared in the bamboo forest on the mountain.

Another month later, the mirror-like paddy fields in the village were filled with seedlings, forming a distinct field scene with the fringed wheat fields.The temperature is also rising day by day, the fields are full of shades of green, many wild vegetables and weeds are rushing out to occupy the territory, and the small animals on the mountain have also come out to move around.

A few days after Qingming went to the grave, the spring rain continued for a long time, and the weather was really getting warmer.As soon as the rain stopped, Feng Ye and Mu Qing were busy rearranging the vegetable garden and planting various melons, beans and vegetables.The potatoes have been harvested. Due to the sufficient fertilization in the early stage, the potatoes are not bad. Many suitable for planting have already been buried in the sand in the cellar. He is thinking about planting the next season now.

In addition to taking care of the fields, Feng Ye is also busy beautifying his yard and the surrounding environment of the house.

Feng Ye wanted to plant some ornamental and practical green trees in the front and back yards. It was winter when the house was built last year, and many of these trees were not planted, fearing that they would freeze to death.So this year during the Chinese New Year, he had already thought about it carefully, and started planting trees in a planned way as soon as the spring rains came down!

There used to be a ginkgo tree planted in the inner courtyard, but after knowing that the tree would lose its leaves in autumn, Feng Ye quickly removed it and replanted it outside the house.Feng Ye likes this ginkgo tree very much. He once saw a very big ginkgo tree when he was traveling in his previous life. The golden leaves are very beautiful, and the fruits it bears are also very lovely.

After removing the ginkgo, Feng Ye planted two mango saplings bought from the market. It is said that these things were brought back from the south by a businessman from Anzhou. Not many people here know them yet.But of course Feng Ye is not included, he also likes to eat mangoes, Dieshan Village should have a temperate climate, mango trees should also be able to bear fruit.

A few clumps of dwarf bamboo dug from the mountains were planted on both sides of the inner courtyard wall, which can be regarded as arty. Feng Ye also found a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus trees from other places, planted two in the inner courtyard, and the rest in the outer courtyard.This was influenced by Fengye's grandfather in his previous life. Osmanthus trees were planted in the courtyard, and the whole house was filled with fragrance during the flowering season. You can also make osmanthus syrup, osmanthus cake, etc. for food.

Feng Ye originally wanted to build a flower garden or something, but where are there any good ornamental flowers in the countryside?There are still many wild flowers, so it is more practical to grow vegetables after thinking about it.

In addition to his own yard, there is also a lot of space around Feng Ye's house, all of which belong to Feng Ye's family. There used to be a lot of fruit trees growing sparsely. When the house was built, Feng Ye planned to keep a few cherries. , pear trees, and others were cut down.This can not only ensure the wide view of the house, but also avoid being bare and ugly.A few days ago, after a few rains, the pear trees bloomed one after another after the temperature warmed up. The pink and white Kazuki tree was really beautiful; after a while, the cherries also bloomed. When Feng Ye was free, he hugged Xiao Xinger to see the flowers , the scene of the petals fluttering and dancing when the wind blows, really has a little romantic meaning.

After Fengye's landscaping and field work were done, Lixia followed after a few days of leisure.

The winter wheat in the field and the buckwheat in the field showed signs of maturity, and the bunches of wheat ears gradually bent down, making Feng Ye's heart full of joy when he saw them. It came out, it was like watching his child grow up, it was very subtle for Feng Ye, he really realized that he was a farmer who made a living by farming.

The weather is gradually getting hotter, and the windy nights have started to run up the mountains frequently. Spring and autumn are the seasons when there are the most mountain products.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the breeze made people feel very comfortable, so Feng Ye proposed to go up the mountain for a stroll.Others definitely have no objections, Mu Qing now truly regards him as the master, obeys his arrangement of housework, and helps to keep the house in order; Xiao Xing'er has always listened to him, children also love to play, and love to follow Feng Ye ran up the mountain.

So, after a simple breakfast, the three of them set off.

Now Xing'er has officially transferred to Feng Ye's family tree and has become Feng Ye's younger brother.When Feng Ye proposed to recognize Xing'er as his younger brother, Uncle Qing, who was afraid of being too loyal, would not agree. Unexpectedly, he immediately agreed as soon as Feng Ye mentioned it, and gave Feng Ye Xing'er's household registration certificate. He was stunned, originally he only wanted to recognize a relationship.

After more than half a year of recuperation, getting along, and teaching, Xing'er has gained a lot of weight, and she no longer has the big eyes that she was thin and small at first. Now the child's face is obviously puffed up, showing the unique baby fat of children; His temperament has also become much more lively, he is no longer a silly baby who stays obediently all day long, and his speech is already very smooth, and sometimes he can sing along with Feng Ye.Both cleverness and cuteness have grown, making all the aunts and aunts in the village want to ravage him every time they see each other, and Mrs. Gao loves him too much.

I heard from Uncle Qing that Xing'er used to be lively, active, smart and quick-witted. She could run and talk before she was one year old, but after being frightened a lot, she changed her temper and became silent, so that When I grow up, I still can only speak a little poor vocabulary.

In addition to Xing'er's entry into the Li family's genealogy, Uncle Qing also formally "pawned" himself to Feng Ye, and signed a servant contract in front of the county clerk, wishing to be a servant of Feng Ye's family for life, which really surpassed Feng Ye. expected.Therefore, as a matter of necessity, Feng Ye transferred Uncle Qing's household registration to his own home.

The servant contract mentioned here is not a contract of sale, but a personnel control system unique to large merchants. Simply put, civilians who have no residence and land can sign contracts to serve as servants to merchants, wealthy households, officials and dignitaries. The term can be freely negotiated, and the household registration of the servant who signed the contract falls with the master's family, and the master's family is not allowed to buy or sell it.

Uncle Qing said that this was a method that the Great Shang Dynasty came up with in order to count the population and prevent uneasy factors such as illegal crimes caused by the floating population.

Therefore, Feng Ye's family has an extra capable servant. This is what the villagers say. In fact, Feng Ye treats him as a family member and doesn't treat him like a servant at all.Uncle Qing was the housekeeper when he was in the master's house in the capital, and he was the best at handling housework.

-

The woods on the mountain are now lush and green, full of flowers and fruits. The large maple trees have been devastated by a winter, and some yellow leaves are still hanging on the trees, while new branches and leaves are also growing vigorously.All kinds of small animals are scurrying around in the forest foraging and playing, creating a thriving scene.

Feng Ye was carrying a pannier, Uncle Qing was carrying Xing'er, and the three of them harvested surprises in the woods.Loquats, carambola, jujubes, and tangerines are all ripe. A few days ago, Feng Ye followed Li Changsheng to a valley on the other side of the mountain, and there was a huge piece of wild strawberries there, making Feng Ye happy from ear to ear. Later, he picked a lot of leaves and wrapped a few packs back. Xing'er liked it very much, but it's a pity that this food can't be eaten too much, and it won't last long. After eating that time, Xing'er kept asking his brother when to pick.Feng Ye planned to go around to pick the best food today, instead of going to the valley he used to go to, there is nothing to eat there now, and the sanjiao hasn't grown yet.

Speaking of the wild sansho, Feng Ye used the mature sansanthum seeds left over from last year to sow the seeds. He transplanted and planted a piece when they transplanted the seedlings, and fertilized them every once in a while. Now they are growing well, and some of them have begun to bloom. up.It seems that this year's pickled peppers are fully capable of achieving small sales.

This is what Feng Ye agreed with Uncle Li in the city. I will try to sell the chopped peppers, pickled peppers, olive horns and other side dishes made by Feng Ye in the uncle's shop. It is impossible to achieve mass production of olives in the short term. After all, even if an olive tree is successfully grafted, it will take several years to produce a small amount of fruit.

Because of this, Feng Yexian is very confident in realizing his income-generating plan and reaching the biggest goal in life.

animals

"Little Xing'er, be careful!"

Feng Ye rushed forward to help the child who was about to wrestle, the child giggled and agreed, and looked at his favorite sheep with a whip.

It's noon now, Feng Ye took his younger brother out for a walk with the sheep.

Ever since Feng Ye bought the ewe and came back, he has been thinking about drinking goat milk, and now his ewe is finally pregnant with lambs, so during this period of time, Feng Ye took the two sheep together whenever he had free time. They come out to eat grass and bask in the sun. When they are not free, they cut the tender grass and come back to feed them.

Now the poultry of Feng Ye's family has become more abundant. The hens in the first flock of chickens have already laid eggs, and there are only two roosters left, and the rest have already become dinner on the plate.The few ducks I bought back and forth were so fat that they walked like they had a big belly. Fortunately, the female ducks also laid eggs, and the fertilized duck eggs were carefully stored by Feng Ye. After [-] ducks are raised, the mother ducks are allowed to hug their nests and hatch their ducklings.The pair of rabbits had already given birth to a litter of three cubs at the beginning of spring, and now the mother rabbit has begun to conceive. Feng Ye bought the rabbits just because they looked cute, and they slaughtered them for food when they wanted to raise them. Unexpectedly, before it was her turn to eat them, the mother rabbit's belly grew bigger, and after Feng Ye listened to Li Changsheng's advice, she separated the mother rabbit from the newborn rabbit, and it was not long before the mother rabbit became pregnant again. , The reproduction speed is really fast.This can be considered unintentional.

Two days ago, Feng Ye heard that the sow in Gao Fuquan's family, the younger brother of Village Chief Gao, had given birth to a litter of piglets, so he went to order two. I am busy converting the kitchen of the old house into a pigsty.The original house was built of mud, which was easily damaged by pigs. A low stone wall had to be built inside, the thatch on the roof had to be replaced, and another big hole had to be dug to facilitate sewage discharge.

Besides raising pigs, Feng Ye also wants to raise a cow.Now he doesn't have many fields, but it would be a waste of time to plow them only by manpower. When the farming season is really busy, he won't be able to borrow other people's cattle. Moreover, he also plans to send Li Tong's parents away from the past. After the grandfather sold the land and bought it back, he will need a farming ox even more at that time.He has been looking for it himself, and asked others to help him pay attention, but he hasn't bought it yet.

Feng Ye was lazily lying on the grass slope, the sun was shining brightly above his head, and clouds drifted past in the sky, making people feel sleepy just looking at it.The days go by so fast, especially when you are busy, it really flies by in a blink of an eye. Seeing the footsteps of spring go far away, summer is coming, and it will not be long before the wheat harvest and summer rice will arrive. By then, some people will be busy, and many Things have to be settled before then.

Feng Ye told Xing'er to stay with the lamb on the hillside, he went home and took a shovel and went to the field under the hillside, where Mu Qing was cultivating corn.Now that the corn grows taller than a person, it is easy to fall when it is windy and heavy, so it needs to be cultivated, and it can also retain water in this way, so the corn grows well.

The corn field was not interplanted with peanuts and soybeans as Feng Ye expected, but some sweet potato vines were planted on the edge of the corn field. Fortunately, they followed the advice of Village Chief Gao and did not plant them. Otherwise, with the current growth of corn, they would be short Peanuts are about to lose sunlight, and it is not convenient to cultivate corn. It seems that the experience of the older generation is correct.

"Uncle Qing, are you done so soon?"

Feng Ye came to the field and found that he had finished cultivating the corn and was now weeding the cassava field.

"Well, it's finished. By the way, weeding, you can see that the fertilizer in the field has been taken up by the grass, and the soybeans are not growing well." Uncle Qing pointed to the sparse and sluggish soybean seedlings in the field.

In spring and summer, the grass in the field grows crazily. It is often the field that has been pulled out in the past few days. After a few days, the grass in the other field has been pulled out. Looking back, the grass in the previously pulled field has grown taller again. Yes, it's really annoying.Fortunately, the pulled grass can be taken back to feed the sheep and rabbits, otherwise Feng Ye would really go crazy.

Feng Ye and Uncle Qing were chatting about trivial matters while squatting in the field and pulling weeds, when Li Changsheng's shout came from the hillside.

"Feng Ye, come back quickly, I have something to tell you."

Feng Ye responded and walked up, "Brother Changsheng, what's the matter?"

"Hey, let me tell you, a scholarly family." Changsheng held Feng Ye's shoulders, "Didn't you ask me to help you find out about the little calf? Today I went to the fair and met my cousin Mingxia People from the village’s natal family, their family gave birth to a calf at the beginning of this year, and it was a female. I told him that they would take the calf to the market at the next market.
