In the end, Li Zheng could not resist his inner desire for money and asked several young men in the village to send wild boar meat to the city to sell it.
Originally, Li Zheng planned to go with him, but when he was helping to lift the wild boar, he accidentally used too much force and pulled a tendon, making him unable to move.
In order to prevent them from selling pigs and pocketing the money, Li Zheng also arranged for the cow belly to be brought along.
This is an honest man, he will definitely not lie!
Niu Caohua: Li Zheng, you trust my father too much. If he dares to look up at people when he goes to the city, I will lose!
A dozen strong young men carried seven wild boars and set off happily.
Li Zheng said that if the wild boar is sold, everyone can share the money~
The beasts on the mountain have been slaughtered, and now the mountain seems to be an open treasure, welcoming everyone.
The entire Niujia Village went out together, took baskets and frames, and went up the mountain to hunt for treasure.
Niu Caohua also went up the mountain, taking Niu Xiaodi and Xiao Cuihua with her, but instead of joining the large army, she followed a path pointed by Niu Xiaobai into the mountain.
This path is very hidden and completely covered with weeds and shrubs. You have to open a path while walking, but the harvest is not ordinary.
Not far away, I found an orange tree. The orange tree was not very big, and there were more than a dozen oranges on it. They were green with a little yellow, and two of them were completely yellow.
Cowgrass Flower unceremoniously picked the yellowest orange, peeled it open and tasted it.
tasty!
Sweet with a little sourness.
Niu Xiaodi stood behind her sister, looking up at the orange tree.
Although the tree is not big, it is still much taller than the cow field.
Suddenly a piece of orange was stuffed into his mouth, and he chewed it subconsciously: "It's delicious! It's sweet."
Pick the yellow ones from the cow grass flowers, and also pick the half yellow ones. As for the four or five green ones left, just let them go and come back next time.
Niu Xiaodi and Xiao Cuihua each had an orange and ate while walking, while Niu Caohua worked as a coolie in front.
Not long after walking, I saw another chestnut tree, but this tree was much smaller than the previous chestnut tree, and there were not many chestnuts on it.
Skip.
"Chi chi chi~" Just as he was cutting off a long thorny vine, Niu Xiaobai in Niu Xiaodi's arms suddenly screamed, his forelimbs pointing in one direction, very anxious.
After being purged by the officials in the mountain forest, the birds and beasts became less courageous and huddled in their nests, unwilling to go out, so the whole mountain became eerily quiet.
Cowgrass Flower didn't hear anything.
But Niu Xiaobai was so anxious that he must have discovered something.
Could it be gold?
When she thought about money, Niucaohua became more motivated and worked hard to chop down the weeds in front of her and clear the road.
When she saw what Niu Xiaobai pointed out clearly, she was shocked.
This leaf, this red fruit, could it be ginseng!
There is more than one tree, there are about a dozen in this small area.
But they only brought a kitchen knife and couldn't dig it out at all.
What should I do? I can only remember this place and come back next time.
Marks were made on the big trees nearby. In order to prevent others from discovering them, the cow grass flowers blocked the newly opened path.
Niu Xiaobai was confused by this operation. He didn't understand why the human didn't dig out the stuff underneath. He clearly remembered that humans liked the taste.
"The tools I brought today are not good enough. I will dig again next time." Niu Caohua explained.
There are so many people going into the mountains today. If anyone sees them digging ginseng, the damage will be huge. We will come back in a few days when everyone's enthusiasm for going into the mountains has subsided.
Remember this place and keep moving forward.
I found a lot of mushrooms along the way, and after Niu Xiaobai's prompts, I also found two nests of rabbits.
Not an adult rabbit, but a palm-sized baby rabbit in a hole in the ground, some gray or white. There are eleven rabbits in the two litters together. The little rabbits have all grown fur and their eyes are open. They look very cute.
She originally didn't plan to pay for these little rabbits and cow grass flowers, but she found that these two litters of little rabbits seemed to be dying. The female rabbit didn’t come back for a long time. She didn’t know why. After not eating for a long time, the little rabbits were so hungry that they were dying.
Then take it home, rabbits are easy to raise.
It tastes good when grown up.
"Eh? Xiaodi, why are you here?" The world is really small. It is such a big mountain, but he met Niu Ergou while walking. There were several people around him, all from the Li Zheng family.
One by one, they were carrying baskets and rummaging around. Looking at their baskets, they are all full. It seems that they have gained a good harvest.
"Ergou, look at my rabbit." Niu Xiaodi was very happy to see his friend. He glanced at his sister and saw that her sister didn't stop him, so he ran to join Niu Ergou.
Niu Xiaodi was carrying a small backpack on his back, which was filled with thick hay and stuff from the rabbit hole. Two white little rabbits were curled up in it, very uneasy.
"Wow, they feel so soft."
"Right, they are white. My sister also has gray and black ones. They are all so soft to the touch."
"Wow, I want a bunny too, I like the black one."
"Then you can ask my sister. All rabbits belong to my sister."
"Will your sister give it to me?"
"I don't know either. But my sister is so good."
The two of them muttered together for a long time, their voices were very low, but Cow Grass Flower heard them all.
Then I saw Niu Xiaodi walking over with Niu Ergou. What was rare was that Niu Ergou had an obvious twist on his face, obviously a little embarrassed.
"Ergou, please speak." Niu Xiaodi found that his good friend was standing silent, because he was the one who said he wanted the rabbit just now.
"Sister Caohua, I, I want a rabbit, is that okay?" Niu Ergou rubbed his hands together, his voice coming out of his throat, his face turned red, and he finally spoke out.
"Of course, but you have to raise it well." Niu Caohua nodded, there were many rabbits anyway.
Xiao Cuihua put down the basket in her hand, which contained five little black rabbits.
Niuergou squatted aside, carefully selected one, and put it into his arms with satisfaction: "Thank you, Sister Caohua, thank you Auntie."
Niu Caohua noticed that the one picked out was not the strongest among them, it could only be said to be quite average.
Originally, she wanted to talk about some precautions for raising rabbits, but then Niu Caohua thought about it, everyone was already old-fashioned, and they had raised countless chickens and ducks, so how could they use this little skill of hers.
The two children gathered together and murmured again.
Niu Xiaobai and a group of little rabbits were staying in the basket of Niu Xiaobai. The little rabbits must have felt the warmth of Niu Xiaobai's body, and they kept squeezing against Niu Xiaobai, which made Niu Xiaobai desperate.
Grandma Chen's hair was combed meticulously, and there was no trace of the ferocious look she had when she fought with Grandma Bai before. While looking for things in the field, her eyes were constantly paying attention to the movements of her eldest grandson.
She didn't care at all that her eldest grandson brought back a rabbit. It was just a rabbit, and it would take a lot of effort to raise it.
