Longing for mountain village life

Near the forest, there was a masonry wall, but a piece collapsed on the right side, as if it had been hit by something.

In the process of walking over, the old village chief was still a little trembling, very afraid, for fear that he would provoke something.

When I arrived, I found that the decaying trees had been washed down the mountain and hit the wall, and the wall that had been washed by the rain was already crumbling, and now it is a good result that it has not collapsed.

Inside the enclosure is a small tomb with the earth washed away, revealing the stone slabs below.

There was nothing strange, Jiang Tian also deliberately used Wanqiying, and did not find anything wrong in the tomb.

The whole family has problems with their bodies, and they should have nothing to do with the legendary collision with evil.

The old village chief said: "You'd better repair this wall, rather trust it!"

"I know!" Seeing the village chief's careful advice, Jiang Tian could only agree, otherwise he would definitely talk endlessly.

"The place is also seen, this land will be yours from now on, I still have things to deal with, so I won't accompany you."

"Okay, trouble the village chief."

The old village chief left, Jiang Tian glanced at the land a few more times, three acres of land is not big, but it is not small, it can definitely be used to grow vegetables.

He squatted down and reached out to grab a handful of wet soil, there were more pebbles, and the nutrients in it were relatively lacking.

However, he was satisfied and returned home.

In the yard, Grandpa was turning over his dried turnips.

"I asked the village chief, what did he say?"

"Already contracted, I will send the money over, the price is not expensive, first contract for five or six years, and then pay for the contract for 20 years after I make money."

Grandpa was surprised, "So fast, how much is the land you contracted for per acre?"

Jiang Tian took a piece of dried radish and ate it, "It is estimated that it will be enough to dry for another three or four days, one acre of land is not expensive, and gave me two hundred yuan a year, three acres of land is six hundred and one year, and five years is three thousand yuan." "

It's already very cheap, mainly because the quality of the land is not good, and not many people contract.

The money in his hand can be contracted for twenty years, but considering that he still has to buy vegetable seeds, he will pay in installments.

"Two hundred is indeed possible, where have you contracted each of the three acres of land?" Grandpa nodded, the village chief is okay, there are no pit people.

"It's all together, and it can be intensively managed at that time."

"What!" Grandpa froze, then turned his head and asked, "Shouldn't you have contracted the three acres of land in front of us?"

"yes, what's wrong? Grandpa, you can be a party member, you don't believe in those things. Jiang Tian preemptively blocked his grandfather's nagging.

Grandpa didn't say anything for most of the day, and could only glare at Jiang Tian.

"It's a pity that you don't want to be the host with this mouth, the ability to choke people is not comparable to you."

Jiang Tian smiled.

"Forget it, go over and look at the ground, it's all decided, what else can I say."

When they came to the three acres of land, the first thing Grandpa saw was the wall.

"This wall must be repaired first, and when I get some bricks in the afternoon, there is still water in the ground, you go back and bring the hoe."

Jiang Tian trotted home and brought two hoes.

Grandpa took the hoe and carved a ditch at the head of the ground, and went to each side to dig a ditch.

The muddy water in the ground began to flow down the ditch.

Grandpa clapped his hands, "When the muddy water here flows out, and the soil dries a little, I will get a few bricks to repair the leaky place over there, and then I can put the cleaning of the lotus pond on the agenda."

While saying, Grandpa went to the place where the tomb was located and looked inside, "Come here less in the future, the wall is repaired, don't come over."

Jiang Tian came over, "Grandpa, you are just blindly worried, there is nothing wrong at all." "

Huh..." His nose moved slightly, smelling a special fragrance.

"Grandpa, do you smell anything?"

Grandpa sniffed, "It's so fragrant, it's a bit like what kind of medicinal herbs, it seems to be Ganoderma lucidum?" "

It's not at all strange that there are Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains.

Jiang Tian's eyes lit up, "This is a good thing, it has the effect of replenishing qi and calming the mind, relieving cough and asthma, and improving cardiovascular disease, especially suitable for the elderly." The

reason why he knew so clearly was because when he was in school, Dong Shihao took a whole and said that someone had sent it, and he didn't know how to eat it, so he simply handed it to Jiang Tian.

What else can Jiang Tian do, he can only say that after saying a local tyrant, he will use it to make soup and porridge, and the fact that several people in the dormitory can have such a good physique is caused by Dong Shihao taking supplements from time to time.

Grandpa nodded: "It's really a good thing, just because your body is not good yet, it can be used to replenish the body, your dad's body is also relatively weak, when the time comes, you can also take it home to make some soup for your dad." The

two looked at each other and followed the source of the scent.

Due to the previous rain, the woods were particularly slippery, and if they were not careful, they were likely to slip, and the two of them slowly walked forward with hoes.

The fragrance is getting stronger and stronger, but the taste has changed a little.

Grandpa sniffed hard a few times, with a puzzled expression on his face, "Something is wrong, the smell of this aroma is not quite right, it seems to be a little not very similar to Ganoderma lucidum, and it seems to be mixed with other flavors."

"Find it and you'll know!"

They continued towards the source of the scent, they were already in the middle of the mountain forest, if they went deeper, with the equipment they only had such as hoes now, it would be a little too dangerous to enter.

Fortunately, they finally found where the scent wafted from.

Two towering trees soared into the sky, and at a glance they could not see their heads, and their branches were strewn with densely packed strange-looking fruits.

Grandpa wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It turned out to be star anise, I thought it was something, now is the time to hang the fruit, it will ripen in another month or two, when the time comes, pick it and boil it with water, and you can dry it after cooking."

"I didn't expect that there would be two star anise trees here, but it was a little difficult to pick, and when it was ripe, we could come over and use a sickle to cut some enough to eat ourselves, and we also saved ourselves from going to the market to buy it, now star anise is not cheap."

Star anise, that is, fennel, is a seasoning spice, basically stewed, stir-fried, boiled, soaked, pickled, etc. need it, it can be said that it is completely impossible to leave.

And the price of fennel is not cheap now, it costs a lot of money to buy a few, and now there is an opportunity to get it without spending money, which is naturally good for the two.
