Chapter 362 A year’s plan lies in spring

The reappearance of the giant turtle in the reservoir has once again caused a lot of heated discussions.

Especially many leaders in the township and county were very excited. The local “Prince Turtle” appeared many times in the past two years, proving that Chenwangzhuang is a treasure land.

Looking forward to the fact that Garlic and the others can show up more in the future, they can become famous in the local area, and they are officials, their faces are also bright.

In addition, on the afternoon when the giant turtle appeared in the reservoir, Tian Hongli yelled through the loudspeaker of the brigade, saying that he would collect ornamental fish.

The ornamental fishes of every household in the village were raised by the villagers when they saw that Chen Ling raised fish and sold them for money, so they followed Chen Ling’s **** and followed suit.

As for whether they can be sold and make money after raising them, they really don’t know.

Now Tian Hongli says he is willing to accept and will pay a deposit in advance.

Will the villagers be unhappy when they hear this?

Everyone was overjoyed, praising Lord Turtle for his success, and the family was about to get rich just after paying homage.

Not just one family, but the whole village to get rich.

This is so magical.

So every family rushed to the brigade one after another, crowded together and had a lively meeting, which lasted from afternoon to night.

Hui Ueda Hongli happily signed, saying that he would bring the deposit over next week and give it to the villagers.

The villagers know about the deposit. Last year, Sun Yanhong came to the village to collect pigs.

Besides, it was Wang Lixian’s prospective son-in-law who drove the fish.

Before delivering fish to the city for Chen Ling, he was the one who drove it, and an acquaintance was in charge of transporting it, and Chen Ling had sold it once before. The villagers were completely at ease about it.

In the evening, Tian Hongli was warmly entertained.

He even called Chen Ling to come. Chen Ling went to have a glass of wine and said a few words to save face, but after a short stay, he took Zhou Weijun and the three of them out to let the dogs hunt outside in the dark.

Yu Qi’an had heard about the matter of releasing dogs for hunting from Zhou Weijun before he came here, so he had been thinking about it for a long time.

Nothing else, thinking about that night, driving a motorcycle, galloping through the wheat fields with headlights on, chasing prey, I feel chic and refreshing.

So I mentioned it from time to time, when I was eating, when I was drinking tea and chatting, I didn’t say much, just said: ‘Let’s go hunting outside at night. ‘

Said it over and over, for fear that Chen Ling would forget.

Chen Ling originally wanted to go to the reservoir at night to find out what was going on with the water monster. Seeing that this old man was thinking about it, he simply took him to play first, and it would not be too late to go to the reservoir after returning at midnight.

Maybe I can still keep that thing in the den.

Then he got on the tractor, let Zhou Weijun, Yu Qi’an and a group of puppies sit on the back of the tractor, and drove towards the county town.

Go to the forest farm first, then go north along the Yaba River to the wild land of Yaba Lake.

As soon as March comes into Yangchun, the wheat is jointed and sprouted, and we can no longer just go to the wheat field to mess around.

It’s better to go outside and have fun in the wild where no one cares. Besides, there are many prey.

At seven or eight o’clock at night, as soon as Chen Ling arrived at the forest farm, Chen Ling stopped the tractor, and several people put down all the baffles of the rear truck, and began to let the dogs hunt.

The tractor is slowly moving forward on the dirt road outside the forest farm. Once it detects any movement, the puppies on the back of the truck will jump down and rush into the forest to hunt down their prey, led by Erhei.

After finishing the hunt, come back and jump on the car, put the prey away, and then sit firmly on the back of the car again to wait for the opportunity to move.

From the forest farm to the riverside and lakeside, playing until late at night, Yu Qi’an and Ma Wei can be regarded as an eye-opener.

The two played with Zhou Weijun very hard.

When he gets excited, he will follow behind the dog, yelling and chasing and intercepting the prey.

Sometimes when encountering cunning prey, such as the mountain raccoon, he jumped up and down, and people and dogs chased him like crazy. One time, the mountain raccoon had nowhere to escape and almost jumped into the face of Chen Ling who was driving a tractor. .

This kind of fun and exciting night hunting made a few fun-loving old men happy.

That is called a person who came here with a lot of fun, and came back with a lot of fun, which can be regarded as having a good time.

Prey is also piled up a lot in the rear body.

Unfortunately, after returning home, Chen Ling went to the reservoir to search for the water monster, but found nothing useful.

Around the soil hole, only some feces and paw prints were seen, but it was still impossible to tell what kind of creature it was.

Called Suantou out to look for it, but it disappeared early.

Let Chen Ling secretly scold this thing for being slippery, maybe it really is a little beast of the badger type.

…

In the warm spring day, Chenwangzhuang was bustling again.

Even if the giant tortoise in the reservoir does not appear again, it cannot stop people’s enthusiasm.

People from ten miles and eight villages who got the news came to visit the shrine one after another, and attracted a bunch of stalls and sellers.

Hearing the news, Yu Qi’an and others wandered around the dam with great interest early in the morning to join in the fun.

It’s a pity that these stalls didn’t sell the local specialties they wanted most. After walking around, they didn’t get much, so they could only ask Chen Ling and Wang Jusheng unwillingly to take them to the villagers’ homes.

Yu Qi’an, like Zhou Weijun, loves to eat.

Zhou Weijun claimed to be able to kill two big elbows with one meal.

Yu Qi’an said that if donkey meat is burned on fire, three catties of donkey meat can be burned and eaten completely. What kind of door nail meat pie can eat twenty or thirty in one go.

Hearing that Zhou Weijun was happily collecting bacon, cured fish, dried fruit, pickled vegetables, etc. in Chenwangzhuang, how could Yu Qi’an sit still.

The film crew hadn’t arrived yet, and they didn’t have much money with them, so the greedy two wanted to search the villagers’ houses.

It’s a pity that Chen Ling has to help his daughter-in-law gather herbs and grow vegetables at home, so he doesn’t have time to mess around with them.

Let Wang Jusheng take them there.

In March, the mountain flowers are everywhere, and the spring is full of spring, which is a good time for spring.

Chen Ling and his wife ignored the hustle and bustle of the reservoir, leisurely in the field, holding a sickle, a medicine hoe, and a small bamboo basket, leisurely digging herbs.

After having a son, it is rare for the young couple to come out like this.

Now, Wang Susu’s pharmacy can support people.

Although he didn’t make much money, far less than Chen Ling’s earning speed, it was no problem at all to support two people in the countryside.

So you have to collect and dry herbs diligently, otherwise these common herbal medicines for headaches and brain fever will not be enough.

“Uncle Fugui, Aunt Susu…”

Xizi and Niuniu, two little girls, held hands and carried a basket of bamboo slices on their backs. When they saw them, they waved from a distance.

Chen Ling and Wang Susu stopped quickly, and asked them what they were doing with a smile.

Xizi said: “Uncle sells paper kites at a stall over the reservoir, and we will send bamboo chips over there.”

Because of Chen Baoshuan’s conscience, the life of this poor little girl and Chen Sangui became easier. The little girl is still a little thin, but her spirit is much brighter, and there are more smiles on her rosy face.

“Oh, your uncle is quite skillful, and he can do this.”

Chen Ling smiled and patted the little girl’s head.

Niuniu next to him also shouted quickly: “Yes, yes, Uncle Baoshuan can make paper kites and umbrellas, which is better than Uncle Dazhi.”

“Hey, this is really amazing. I’ll ask you, Uncle Baoshuan, to tie up two umbrellas for fun.”

Oiled paper umbrella, how fun.

At this time, Wang Lishan, who came from behind, smiled and said, “If you are rich, you can tease dolls. If you want an umbrella, Baoshuan can’t deliver it to you.”

In the eyes of the villagers, Chen Baoshuan has benefited a lot from Chen Ling this year. Chickens, ducks and livestock were vaccinated by Chen Ling, and the fry were also caught from Chen Ling’s house.

Everyone thought Chen Ling was so generous because of Chen Sangui’s face.

In fact, it was Chen Baoshuan who tipped off the news, which saved Chen Ling a lot of effort.

But outsiders don’t know, Chen Ling didn’t talk too much about it, but just smiled: “Brother Lishan, what are you doing here? Are you carrying a basket of eggs?”

Wang Lishan patted the basket, hesitantly said: “What eggs, these are tobacco leaves, the tobacco leaves dried years ago, go to the reservoir to sell the tobacco leaves.”

After speaking, humming a ditty, holding the basket, and shaking the two little girls away.

Chen Ling was amused for a while, and said to Wang Susu: “My good fellow, this turtle prince is still generating income for our village in disguise.”

Isn’t that right? Not only Tian Hongli was influenced by the old turtle to buy ornamental fish, but the villagers also enjoyed the convenience of setting up stalls to sell things.

Wang Susu smiled softly: “Yes, even if such a big old turtle is not a turtle prince, it is the same as the auspiciousness mentioned in the book, and it protects our village.”

It’s okay to say so.

For outsiders like Tian Hongli, the first time they saw Suantou’s physique, they were really shocked by such a big old turtle, which led to the subsequent business.

Yesterday, I asked people to take pictures everywhere, and I didn’t hide it from the villagers, saying that I would take more photos and take them back to the newspapers.

This is naturally a gimmick for selling fish.

But for the villagers, as long as they can make money for themselves, this is a trivial matter.

“Hey, Fugui, we took Jusheng out to play.”

Arrived at the edge of the village in the southwest corner, when walking towards the river beach, Yu Qi’an drove out of the village in his car and honked the horn “Didi”.

“Why are you going? Have you finished collecting the things in the village?” Chen Ling asked.

Guarding the mountains, dried sweet potatoes, dried persimmons and so on are not worth much in the countryside. Every family and every household of these things get a lot of thieves every year. Ordinarily, they are enough to cause harm to them.

“It’s confiscated, I’m hungry for that dried fish, your village head, let’s go out first.”

Yu Qi’an put on sunglasses and smiled, “Let’s go.”

As he spoke, he waved at Chen Ling, and the three Zhou Weijun in the car also waved at him with a smile.

“let’s go.”

Chen Ling waved his hands dumbfoundingly, these guys are real.

Then I wandered around with my daughter-in-law in the fields, river beaches, and Nanshan Mountains, digging herbs and picking up wild animal feces that can be used as medicine.

For example, the bat droppings in the crevices of stone cliffs are called luminous sand.

There are also geckos, four-legged snakes and the like that are used as medicine all over the body, as well as the shed skins of scorpions and toads.

This kind of thing is very common in the mountains, even if people don’t care, the little dolls just play with it and throw it away.

It’s not that everyone doesn’t know that these things are medicinal materials.

The key is that the amount of these things is too small, so there is no need to pick them up.

“This year, the fruit trees in our orchard have started to bloom. In the past two days, I will sprinkle some flowers and grass seeds. After the flowers of the fruit trees have fallen, there are still flowers blooming on the ground, so that our farm will be beautiful all year round.”

Wandering in the mountains for a long time, when returning, Wang Susu looked at the wild flowers all over the mountains, took a deep breath twice, and showed an intoxicated expression on his face.

Women like flowers and plants. At this time, Wang Susu was already imagining the scene of a garden full of flowers outside the farm.

“Then you have to plant some plum blossoms. It’s not easy to have flowers bloom all year round. It’s okay to say that in autumn, only plum blossoms bloom in winter.”

Chen Ling smiled. He had long wanted to get plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums together, but now he was only short of plum blossoms.

“Yes, we must grow plum blossoms. I’ve made up my mind. We’ll go to sister Du Juan’s wedding in a while, and we’ll buy some plum blossoms when we get to the city.”

Wang Susu nodded seriously, looking at her little expression looking around at the flowers, if the bamboo baskets of the two of them were not filled with medicinal herbs, they would have to dig a few wild flowers now before giving up.

“Well, if you don’t show your feelings by then, I will definitely take you and Ruirui to stay in the city for a few more days, and I will tidy up the house.”

Chen Ling shook his daughter-in-law Bai Nen’s little hand, and gently stroked her flat belly twice with one hand.

Wang Susu hurriedly blamed him and clapped his hands aside, dissatisfied: “It’s outside, don’t move your hands or feet.”

Then he chuckled and said confidently: “Don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll be fine. You didn’t let me do this or that last year. In fact, I can do any job and travel far. Didn’t you see It doesn’t take much effort for Ruirui to live, but my body is very strong, even the doctors praise me.”

Looking at her proud appearance, Chen Ling couldn’t help but feel a little proud in his heart. My daughter-in-law is in such good health, thanks to my hard work.

The two talked and laughed, and walked down the mountain happily.

It was almost noon at this time, and there was still no shortage of people on the reservoir side.

There are people from other villages setting up stalls, and there are also villagers in the village setting up stalls.

But after all, it is not as lively as before, so crowded, and it takes a long time to drive outside.

Many people’s chimneys are already smoking, and they are making lunch.

“Fugui, Susu, you two don’t leave…”

When passing by the threshing field, Xiuying’s sister-in-law stopped them from a long distance.

“What’s wrong, sister-in-law.”

The two of them thought something was wrong, and when they saw Xiuying’s sister-in-law, they didn’t care about them, so they hurried back home, and followed her to her house.

Before we got there, Xiuying’s sister-in-law came out with a bunch of vegetables, and said with a smile: “I just went to dig some local vegetables with your Brother Dazhi early in the morning, it’s very fresh, you can take it back and eat it.

Every March 3rd, boiled eggs with local vegetables, this thing is good to eat. ”

Ground vegetables are actually shepherd’s purse.

In their local dialect, it is a local dish.

This boiled egg has the same effect as the three root soup. It can enhance people’s immunity and reduce the probability of seasonal disease.

According to legend, the local people have lived in the mountains for a long time, because of the wind and rain, they often suffer from headaches.

On the third day of March of a certain year, Shennong passed by here. Seeing that the mountain people were suffering from unbearable headaches, he found eggs and local vegetables and cooked them together for the mountain people. Everyone’s head suddenly stopped hurting.

Since then, the custom of “boiled eggs with vegetables in three months in March will prevent headaches for a year” has slowly spread locally.

“Hey, sister-in-law, you and Brother Dazhi can eat it. If we want to eat it, we dig it in the ground.”

“Haha, so much, the two of us can’t finish eating. If we dig a lot, it won’t taste good if we can’t eat it. The local vegetables are still fresh and delicious. You can cook hard-boiled eggs for Rui Rui , left over to make dumplings to eat.”

Sister-in-law Xiuying is very enthusiastic.

Chen Ling and the others had no choice but to accept it.

As a result, within two steps, Wang Lishan’s wife, the third aunt of the Wang family, came out upon hearing their voices, and gave Chen Ling and Wang Cunye and his son-in-law a big pack of tobacco leaves to smoke.

Now, Chen Ling and Wang Susu understood that they were all thinking about their own fry.

If it wasn’t for Chen Ling, they wouldn’t be able to make any money this time. After all, Tian Hongli came for Chen Ling. Chen Ling took him aside and asked Little Sheep to take people to their house to watch the fish.

After a while, Chen Baoliang’s mother-in-law also came out and gave two big pieces of tofu, saying that Chen Ling is a famous tofu lover…

This guy is great, after a while, the young couple almost couldn’t hold the things in their hands.
