Porridge and side dishes [farming]

After the crops in the field were planted, Li Ji and Er Gouzi went to work on the house again.

First go to reclaim the land around the new house, pick out all the stones, rotten wood, and mix it with chicken manure.After drawing the size, I built a wall around it.

Most people in the village make fences with wood, or simply plant a circle of dwarf trees dug from the mountains, which can be regarded as enclosing their own territory.

Few people even use stones, because there are not many large stones in the mountains, and bricks cannot be bought, and those who can afford them use them to build houses.

Fortunately, the place here is remote, and the people are generally very poor, and no one is stolen or robbed, just make a couple of meanings and forget it.

But Er Gouzi's new home is different. Er Gouzi's new home is already outside the village, the first place that the beasts on the mountain come across.The family was not short of money, so they bought bricks to build the wall.

This was the first brick wall in the village, and many people came to see the excitement.

Neither Li Ji nor Er Gouzi knew how to build walls, and they both learned from the old people in the village.

There is a skill in building the wall, otherwise the wall will fall easily.Moreover, it is necessary to pull the rope to determine whether the wall is straight, which is both physical work and technical work.

Many people came to work in the village, so the wall was finished in two or three days. The gate was made of wood by a carpenter. Although Li Ji preferred iron gates, they were heavy and expensive. Money, used to buy iron doors is also distressing enough.

By the time the walls around the yard are finished, the seedlings in the field have already been picked up.

The next step was to build a house, and the bricks were pulled in one by one. From the outside, it seemed that they were all piled up with silver.

But so what if you are hot-eyed?Er Gouzi neither stole nor robbed. Every brick was earned by Er Gouzi.

Li Ji had to light an oil lamp every night to calculate. He didn't know how to use a brush, so he used a wooden stick to burn it black to draw on paper.How to design, what you need, draw it clearly, when you think of something, add it, if there is something inappropriate, just tick it off.

Sketching like this every day, and changing the paper several times, Li Ji still felt that it could be more perfect.

However, Li Ji lacked someone to discuss with, two dogs don't understand at all, and it doesn't make sense to go to the village to find someone else, at least he can do his own poor calculations.

Seedlings sprouted in the ground, and weeds grew.Moreover, the weeds grow faster than the seedlings. If we don't shovel them down as soon as possible, the fertilizer in the field will be taken away by the weeds, and the crops will be less.

The matter of the new house was released again, and Li Ji took Er Gouzi to shovel the ground again, teaching Er Gouzi to identify weeds and seedlings. Some grass can be used to feed chickens, so he picked it up and put it in the bag on his back. In the basket, you can bring back a pile of grass every day when you shovel the ground. The chicken needs to be chopped and fed, and the rabbit just grabs it and throws it in.

In two months, the female rabbit gave birth to another litter of rabbits. She had just been weaned, and looking at the female rabbit's belly, it seemed that she had cubs again.

Li Ji didn't eat any of the rabbits, and raised them well. He just waited for the first two litters of rabbits born by the mother rabbit to grow up and start to give birth to cubs in autumn. From now on, there will be a steady stream of rabbits at home.

Li Ji was tired every day with back pain, but he still had to spare a while to watch the rabbit eat.Watching them eat, you can see pieces of rabbit skin and rabbit meat.

Rabbit meat can feed Er Gouzi, and rabbit skin can be sold for silver.Although the wild rabbits in the mountains are of various colors and cannot be compared with pure white rabbits, they are still leather, so they are definitely valuable.

This rabbit breeds fast, as long as it is fed frequently, it will be enough to feed Er Gouzi in the future even if they don't go up the mountain.

"Tomorrow we will finish shoveling the land. Let's continue to work on the house. You said that you have been idle in the past years. After finishing the work, you feel bored with nothing to do. Now that you are busy, you want to stay idle."

"Don't worry." Er Gouzi said with a smile.

"Can't you be in a hurry, time flies, let's try to finish the house before the next time we shovel the ground, after we finish shoveling the ground, we will start to buy the things inside, and then move our chickens and rabbits there. We still have to build The house is doing business and entertaining the villagers. Let's hurry up and save ourselves from being in a hurry when the time comes."

Li Ji was busy talking, but the smile on his face did not diminish.In the past, he never thought about the day when he would build a house. Although the house belonged to Er Gouzi, he built it along with him, and he arranged it inside and out, and he would live in it with Er Gouzi in the future.

In the future, as long as Er Gouzi doesn't marry a wife, Li Ji can live with Er Gouzi forever.Living in a big brick and tile house, thinking about Li Ji, he felt that he was about to become a rich man, and he didn't have to worry about eating meat all the time, planting fields and feeding chickens.Thinking about it today makes my nose snot bubble.

The frame of the house was built, and the windows were purposely made larger, so that the windows had to be custom-made. I bought more window paper and looked at the frame outside. This is a big house, and I feel comfortable looking at it.

On the day of raising the beam, you must choose a good day and an auspicious day, and you must hold a large banquet to entertain your relatives and friends.Of course, they also come with courtesy.

Li Ji began to be busy with this meal. There were chickens and rabbits in the house, but there were not many, not enough to entertain too many people.As the elders in the village, and other people have the heart of eating big families, there must be a lot of people on the day of the beam, so the meat must be prepared in sufficient quantities.

There is no need to worry about food, there is a warehouse at home, and all the vegetables in the garden have come down.

At this time, Er Gouzi was very understanding and wanted to go up the mountain to catch him.

This year, because he was busy building a house, he didn't even buy a piggy or a calf. Li Ji thought that he couldn't take care of things this year, and he had to wait until next spring to catch them.And even if they are caught in spring, they haven't been raised at this time, and they can't be eaten.

The day for raising the beam has been selected. On this day, Li Ji is working on this matter alone. Whoever is invited to be the cook, and whoever’s daughter-in-law is invited to come over to help with the cooking, all these must be arranged in advance. If it's not enough, you have to borrow it to make up for it. It's up to whoever you want to borrow, and how much you want to borrow. Otherwise, it won't be enough by then, and it won't be enough to be in a hurry.

After Li Ji made all the arrangements, he just drank his saliva when he got home, when he heard a voice from outside the house, Er Gouzi came back.

Li Ji went out, Er Gouzi was wearing leather armor, holding a spear in his hand, and a sika deer on his shoulder had died and all the blood had flowed out.

Putting the sika deer on the wooden boards in the yard, Li Ji hurriedly brought a bowl of water to Er Gouzi: "You are too good. For such a big sika deer, you don't have to worry about the meat on the beam."

Er Gouzi almost burst into laughter when he got the compliment.

"It's stupid, it was blocked by a tree, so I caught it."

Li Ji looked at the corresponding holes on both sides of the deer's neck, it was a shot through the throat.Er Gouzi said it lightly, and Li Ji knew that this was what Er Gouzi was capable of.

"It's just a pity for this deer blood. Deer blood is a good thing for strengthening yang."

"Aphrodisiac?" Er Gouzi tilted his head in confusion.

Li Ji blushed when he thought of something: "It's okay, I'm talking nonsense. Hey? This is a male deer, save the deer whip for wine."

Li Ji watched as Er Gouzi chopped the sika deer into eight pieces and simply pickled it with salt, as long as it was not broken on the day when it was put on the beam.Li Ji picked the best piece of meat and fried it, stewed a piece of fish, fried a plate of spinach, and ate a full meal with the steamed buns in the morning.

The news that the two dogs came back from hunting a sika deer for the purpose of going to the beam spread in the village, and everyone in the village was drooling, basically they had never eaten venison, and they hadn’t even tasted meat for a month or two. People who don't usually walk around are also prepared, and plan to take the whole family to satisfy their greed on the day of the banquet.

Of course, except for one family, that is Gao Liehu's family who completely offended Li Ji to death.

Speaking of which, Gao Orion is the most serious hunter in the village. When he goes to the mountain, he can shoot at most a rabbit. Sometimes the trap can catch some game, but it is really insignificant compared with Er Gouzi.Before, he even supported his family by helping Er Gouzi sell leather.

Originally selling leather for others, you can earn [-]% of the profit by running errands, which is a good thing that others can't ask for, but Gao Orion is not greedy enough, and he falsely reported the price in order to earn the difference, but he was discovered.Now let alone offending Li Ji and Er Gouzi, the villagers all looked down on their family and hid far away when they went out. After a long time, they were too embarrassed to go out.

The money earned from Li Ji before was spent lavishly by the family for a while, and the rest of the money was used to pay Li Ji before making up a whole number, but after the Dongchuang incident, the money was used to build the ancestral hall.

Now the family has no savings at all, and the remaining dozens of copper coins are tightly held. The family, which was originally a bit rich, is now completely poor.

It's miserable, but it's a pity that no one will be pitiful.

Two days later it would be the day of the beam-raising, and Li Ji asked Er Gouzi to go up the beam with candy and copper plates in his pockets, and told him to throw down the firecrackers as soon as the firecrackers went off, and throw down everything he had prepared.

Er Gouzi was so obedient that he didn't even use a ladder, so he jumped onto the beams of the house a few times. Li Ji hung up the firecrackers he had prepared, lit them with a stick with sparks on them, and then set the stick away. Throw it away, cover your ears and open it more.

Afraid to scare Er Gouzi, he set off some firecrackers in advance for Er Gouzi to watch, so Er Gouzi squatted firmly on the beam of the house, watching the firecrackers go off, and sprinkled candy and copper coins down.

There is a mix of adults and children below, and almost everyone can grab something.

As soon as the children grabbed the candy, they quickly stuffed it into their mouths, looking around for fear that someone would snatch it, and if they couldn't fit it, they held it in their hands or asked their parents to help them hide it, and no one would give it to them.

The laughter gathered together and spread far away.

Li Ji looked at the red confetti all over the floor, Er Gouzi had his own home now.Looking at the simple Ergouzi squatting and laughing on the beam.I just don't know when Er Gouzi's mind will fully mature.

Although selfish, if possible, Li Ji would rather Er Gouzi remain like this.Be carefree and think about nothing.
