Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!
Chapter 138 Frost Descent
In the afternoon, several people took their tools to check it out again.
From a distance I could see two sheep tied up on the hillside.
"Brother Xu, you are amazing." Xiaohu hurriedly took two steps forward and touched the two sheep, which were not too big, and their bodies were still warm.
Most of the traps here were triggered, and the grass balls were also eaten up. Xu Wenyan looked down and saw a sheep rolling down the mountainside and stuck in a crevice.
"Let's go back first."
Several people carried the goats back. As for whether there were any unconscious sheep at the foot of the mountain, Xu Wenyan didn't want to go and see. It had been so long, and the ones that were there might have been eaten almost all.
Put the two goats in the rabbit pen. The pen was long enough for the two little guys to survive. Xu Wenyan looked at them carefully and found that the only pity was that they were two rams.
Otherwise, they can give birth to cubs when they grow up.
Just like those pheasants, there are now more than a dozen pheasants at home, all of which were the first batch hatched, but they are still small and will start laying eggs in the spring.
As for rabbits, there is no need to mention it. We have to roast one at home from time to time.
Xu Wenyan cooked another large pot of licorice soup and fed it to the two sheep so that they would recover faster.
The task of mowing the lawn will be more difficult in the future.
day to day.
The cave for storing charcoal had already been filled up, and the newly dug hole next to it was filled with hay, enough for the family's rabbits and lambs to eat for a month. As for firewood, it was piled under the shed.
Looking at everything at home, Xu Wenyan felt a sense of accomplishment.
When I first came here, it was just a small loess slope. Now I have a house and land, and there is almost no space for the dried meat at home, but it easily attracts rats.
At night, family members have to come out to drive them away from time to time.
Of course, with Ruhua, a great contributor, around, there is less time to worry.
Frostfall.
Autumn bids its final farewell using the language of frost.
The branches and leaves in the forest were mercilessly knocked down and broken by the frost overnight, ruthlessly taking away their attachment.
Chen Sanlin's thigh has also recovered, and he can now walk and run.
"Brother Chen, let's go to the next mountain." Xu Wenyan was still thinking about those things that happened before.
Before going, cut a long bamboo pole to knock down the jujube trees. The jujube trees are usually very tall, so this is the only way to knock them down.
Looking at the withered time, Xu Wenyan remembered when he first came here, that is, these two days, most of the crops in the mountains had passed the harvest season.
"Brother Chen, do you remember when I first came here?" The water level has now dropped completely. The two of them walked across the stream on the exposed stones, just like when they first came to the pool.
Chen Sanlin raised his head: "Yes, of course."
"At that time, I spent so much money on you, why were you willing to give it to me?" Not to mention the villagers, even the county, city, and emperor all kept a tight grip on money.
Moreover, although she was his wife, she was also a victim of fraud at that time. When she asked Chen Sanlin for money, she was just trying to get it. If he didn't give it, Xu Wenyan had other ways to make money.
Just a little slower.
Chen Sanlin chuckled: "Since you have married me, even if I don't like you at that time, I will treat you well.
My mother asked me to treat you well when she was dying, and I don’t want you to become like my mother.
I will never be like my father."
Xu Wenyan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"Of course, the most important thing is that you are special, and I like the special you."
"Tsk, Chen Sanlin, you are getting more and more outspoken, you have no shame at all." Xu Wenyan stood on the stone in front and grabbed Chen Sanlin's ear: "You blushed when your feet touched each other, you think I don't know, how come you are so shameless now."
Chen Sanlin was being grabbed, but he was very happy: "Wife, it hurts."
"Tsk." After Xu Wenyan let go, the two continued to walk inside.
But it’s better this way now. When they first met, the two of them hardly spoke.
After getting to know each other, Xu Wenyan felt that Chen Sanlin was a really nice person.
You don’t have to go up the mountain this time, just go to the foot of the mountain.
Chen Sanlin was tall, and he could easily hit the fruits on the branches with the bamboo pole.
"Be careful not to hit the pulp."
In this way, Chen Sanlin was knocking and Xu Wenyan was picking up the pieces on the ground, and he was very efficient.
As the saying goes.
When men work together, work becomes less tiring.
It is easy to pick up these jujubes, handful by handful. Now Xu Wenyan can already smell the rich fruity aroma.
"Open your mouth and taste it."
When feeding him, Chen Sanlin licked Xu Wenyan's hand with his tongue, not knowing whether it was intentional or accidental.
Xu Wenyan was about to scold him, but then he smiled and said, "I just touched some sheep dung."
"Puh, puh, puh." Chen Sanlin hurriedly spat out the jujube that had just entered his mouth, and then spit out a lot of saliva.
"Hahaha." Xu Wenyan really found it funny to see him like this.
It's not just him. Xu Wenyan also succeeds every time he plays a prank on the kids at home, and their reactions are always very cute.
The two men carried two large baskets of jujubes back and left the bamboo poles here so they would come back later.
"Huzi, go with your brother Sanlin. I have to clean up these jujubes."
Xiaohu grabbed a jujube and started eating it, then put it in the backpack and said, "Yes, Brother Xu, you are right. The jujube is much sweeter after the frost falls."
"necessary."
After the two men left, Xu Wenyan, Wang Cuijuan and three other children began to deal with the jujubes.
Just remove the black seeds under the jujube. It is not a difficult task but it takes time.
By the time Chen Sanlin and Xiaohu came back, the first batch was finished.
"You guys can continue after the break. I'm going to make some candy."
When the younger ones heard that there would be sugar to eat, they worked even harder. In fact, the sweetness of the jujube nowadays is almost the same as sugar, but it is not easy to store.
First put the jujube into a ceramic jar and crush it. It is not a technical job, as long as it is crushed enough.
Then you can put it directly into the pot to cook.
It still proves to this day how wise it was for Xu Wenyan to spend more than two taels of silver to buy this big pot.
If I still use the small pot as before to cook it, I will have to wait until the end of time.
Cook the sugar water over high heat and then slowly turn to medium heat.
After most of the sugar water in the jujube is boiled out, filter the residue with gauze.
The filtered residue can be fed to rabbits and it doesn’t go to waste.
Then continue to simmer the sugar water in the pot over high heat until it becomes sugar-colored and sticky.
Xu Wenyan put it in a small ceramic jar, tasted it after it cooled, and it was indeed sweeter than ordinary white sugar.
In addition, it has a light fruity aroma.
Several children like it very much, too.
If it weren't for preventing them from getting cavities, Xu Wenyan wouldn't bother to care. Just let them eat if they want to.
In total, Chen Sanlin and Xiaohu carried the fruits four or five times. Xu Wenyan estimated that all the jujubes over there had been picked by the two of them.
This is how Chen Sanlin does things. No matter what you ask him to do, he will not stop until he finishes it.
After collecting the honey, drink it with water mixed with jujube syrup. It can be used as a beverage and is also good for health.
If this was in Jixiang Village, Xu Wenyan would definitely take it to the county to sell it.
Definitely can make big money.
