Traveling through 70's wine
Chapter 18 Breeding
Wen Qing decided to raise a few chickens. She asked Wu Qing for his opinion and decided to raise four chickens, two for each person, which did not violate the regulations.
She went to the village to find the team leader Chen Tianxing to find out who had chicks. It happened that Erniu's family had chicks. Wen Qing offered to buy a few, but Erniu's grandmother refused to take any money. Wen Qing had no choice but to go home, take out a bag of brown sugar, give it to the old woman, and take the four chicks home.
She built a chicken coop behind the yard. In the countryside, there are weasels that steal chickens, so Wen Qing built the chicken coop very sturdy, which can also keep the chickens warm in winter.
The chicks were lively, so Wen Qing cooked the bran left over from grinding rice and fed them to them. Sometimes, when Wu Qing wasn't paying attention, she would add a handful of corn dregs into the chicken feed. In just one month, the chicks grew feathers. Wu Qing named the chickens Dahua, Ersanhua, and Sihua according to their sizes.
When Wen Qing had some time, he went to the mountains to cut down three oak trees and put them in the space to dry.
In winter, the woods in the mountains are not as dense as in summer, and there are fewer weeds than in the previous season, but pheasants and rabbits still come out to forage for food as usual. Wen Qing's aim is very good, and he always hits the target. He takes the dead ones back to eat, and catches the ones that are not dead and raises them in the space.
Now, there are 7 to 80 pheasants in the space, mainly the chicks of the pheasants raised before. The pheasants are very comfortable in the space and find their own food. Wen Qing prepared a chicken coop for them, but many chickens lay eggs randomly, and Wen Qing needs to go into the space from time to time to collect eggs. Now there are more than 2000 eggs in the space. If she was not afraid that Wu Qing would be suspicious, she would have achieved freedom for the eggs long ago.
This time, Wen Qing went into the mountains, not only to cut down trees, but also to catch wild boars. Although wild boars are not tasty and may carry parasitic bacteria, the two of them had not eaten fresh pork for two months.
Wen Qing has walked through Dayao Mountain more than ten times and has never seen a wild boar, and has only caught a wild goat once.
After cutting down the oak tree, Wen Qing did not take the same path as before. Instead, she walked in another direction of Dayao Mountain.
After walking for about an hour, they found a mud pit with some messy footprints next to it, which looked like wild boars. Wen Qing followed the wild boars' footprints up the mountain and smelled a foul smell from a distance, which was the smell of pig manure. Wen Qing walked lightly and went around the wild boars from the downwind side.
As she got closer, Wen Qing discovered that there were 4 big pigs and 3 small pigs in the herd. The big pigs weighed about 130 pounds, and the small pigs weighed 5 to 60 pounds. She climbed up the tree, took out a crossbow from the space, put an arrow on it, and waited for a big pig to leave the herd and walk towards her. She loosened her hand and an arrow flew towards it. The wild boar that was hit by the arrow let out a startling cry, and the remaining wild boars immediately ran up the mountain with the piglets.
Wen Qing did not chase the fleeing wild boars, but only followed the injured wild boar. After the wild boar was injured, it panicked and did not know where to go in the dense forest. After Wen Qing caught up with it, she pulled out the machete in the space and stabbed it into the pig's belly. The stabbed wild boar went crazy and charged towards Wen Qing. Wen Qing dodged behind a tree, and the wild boar hit the tree trunk and fainted immediately. Wen Qing went over and cut the wild boar's neck, so it could no longer move.
The wild boar had shed a lot of blood here. She was afraid of attracting large beasts, so she quickly put the wild boar into the space and walked quickly towards Yang Village.
Wen Qing walked ten miles and stopped in a cave where she had once made a fire. She simply covered the entrance of the cave, entered the cave, and bled the wild boar in a large wooden basin. She put salt in it to coagulate the blood.
He boiled some water and shaved and skinned the pig. The dagger in the space was very sharp, so it was not difficult to do this. Then he cut the pork into small pieces. Finally, he took a shower and changed clothes in the bathroom in the space before leaving the space and walking down the mountain.
When they got home, Wu Qing asked her, "Xiao Qing, where have you been?" Wen Qing said, "I went to the mountains to catch pheasants." Wu Qing asked, "Did you catch any?" Wen Qing said, "Of course." She took out a dead pheasant from her backpack and said, "Here you go, for dinner tonight." Wu Qing happily took it and said, "Xiao Qing, you are amazing. You can catch pheasants better than the boys."
A pheasant is not big, but the pheasant in early winter is the fattest. She made mushroom stewed pheasant. She soaked the chicken mushrooms picked in autumn and stewed them with the pheasant. The soup was extremely delicious.
Li Wei was standing at the door of the main room, smelling the tempting smell of chicken soup, and asked, "Wu Qing, what delicious food are you making?"
Wu Qing ignored him. He went back to his room and said to Gu Hua who was cooking, "Old Gu, let's share the meal with the female educated youth today."
The male educated youth's meal today was also good. Gu Hua cooked braised pork, steamed pork with rice flour, and stir-fried rapeseed. Gu Hua nodded and said, "Go ask Wu Qing and the others for their opinions."
Li Wei ran to Wu Qing's kitchen and said, "Wu Qing, we made braised pork and steamed pork with rice flour tonight. How about we all share the cost?"
Wu Qing was a little tempted and asked Wen Qing, but Wen Qing had no objection.
Li Wei went back and told Gu Hua, who steamed another bowl of rice, walked out of the main room, and said to Wu Qing, "Wu Qing, we cooked a green vegetable, I have already steamed the rice, you can stir-fry two more dishes."
Wen Qing took out four eggs from the space, stirred them, picked some leeks and melon tips, washed and chopped them, and handed them to Wu Qing: "Sister Qingqing, you can make some scrambled eggs with green peppers and some stir-fried melon tips." Wu Qing took it and finished it in a short while.
It was still a bit cold outside in winter. The boys put the table in the main room and laid out the dishes. Li Wei came over to call Wen and Wu. The two of them brought the dishes and soup and their own tableware. The six of them sat together. Luo Yixing said, "Cheers to the harvest!"
There was no wine, but chicken soup filled their bowls. Everyone raised their bowls and clinked them together. “Cheers!”
Guo Jianguo said: "The harvest of the brigade this year is not bad. Everyone has been allocated 300 to 400 kilograms of grain. Next year's life should be better."
Gu Hua said: "The harvest in Qingshan Village is not as good as ours. I met the educated youth in Qingshan Village. They were given 50 kilograms of fine grains, and the rest were coarse grains."
Wen Qing said, "I want 40 kilograms of rapeseed. Who wants to go to town to press oil?"
Wu Qing said: "I only weigh ten kilograms."
Li Wei said, "I weigh 40 kilograms, and I plan to go on this market day."
Everyone gave their share of rapeseed to Li Wei. Gu Hua had 30 kilograms, Luo Yixing had 20 kilograms, and Guo Jianguo had 40 kilograms. They asked him to take them to get the oil pressed together and then divide them up when he came back, so that there would be less loss.
Seeing that the rapeseed weighed 180 kilograms in total, Guo Jianguo was worried that Li Wei could not carry it all by himself, so he agreed to go with him.
Wen Qing reminded them to bring back the rapeseed cake left over from oil extraction, and Li Wei nodded.
On a market day, Wen Qing went to Mr. Li's house, which manufactured the kiln, and Mr. Zhou's house, which made wooden barrels, and ordered earthenware jars, pots and wooden barrels respectively. This time, he ordered 50 large pots, 200 pots, and three large oak trees, which could be used to make oak barrels.
She had made an agreement with the Li family, who owned the kiln, and she would exchange it for 100 kilograms of wild boar meat. Mrs. Li had exchanged a lot of food from Wen Qing last time, and this time she exchanged it for pork. Everything for the New Year was ready.
When she returned to the educated youth point, Wu Qing was not at home. She climbed up to the attic and entered the space to practice.
The speed of practice this time was particularly fast. I felt that the airflow in the meridians became more active, driving the vitality of the body.
She gradually sank into it, and the water drops in the Baihui acupoint became bigger and bigger. "Puff", the water drops scattered into her brain, and she felt her head was extremely cool, especially her eyebrows were bright, as if she saw the bamboo leaves fluttering in the bamboo forest outside the bamboo building, the blue sky and white clouds printed on the water in the distance, and the pheasants and rabbits lying on the ground motionless in the chicken coop and rabbit house by the lake. Only when Wen Qing turned her eyes away did the chickens and rabbits move again.
