Chapter 68 The Popular Big Flower Family (please collect and recommend)
After some pleasantries, Zhang An led everyone towards his yard.
Back home, Zhang An introduced his parents to everyone.
Then everyone took out chairs and sat under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard to chat.
Chen Ze knew that Li Hongbin's family lived in the town, not far from here, so he mentioned it.
"Zhang An, call Hong Bin and ask him to come over and play. I know he is at home today."
Hearing this, Zhang An nodded and agreed, then went to the canteen to call Li Hongbin's family.
Fortunately, Zhang An asked his mother to cook a lot of food today, otherwise he might not have enough to eat.
After a while, Li Hongbin came with his wife and children.
The three members of Li Hongbin's family had not been to Changqing for a long time. When they saw the Dahua family in the yard, they became curious babies.
After Zhou Lan arrived, she greeted a few people and then went into the house to help Wang Fang cook.
She was related to Zhang An's family, so Wang Fang didn't see anyone outside.
The yard of Zhang An's house is now full of life after Zhang An's tidying up, and you can still feel a very comfortable feeling while sitting in it.
Ding Yi is a fisherman, and he was attracted by the fish in the fish pond as soon as he entered the yard.
Zhang An was talking to everyone while handling the remaining eels.
On the other side, Zhang An's father, Zhang Jianguo, had already taken care of several rabbits and two native chickens.
Instead, Zhong Chengyuan and Dong Jingzhi helped Zhang An kill the eel.
The people behind me wanted to lend a hand to help, but they didn't need that many people.
"Everyone can just sit down and I'll get this done in just a few seconds."
Everyone started to take action, but Zhang An felt a little embarrassed.
"Anyway, idle time is idle. Everyone can just stretch out their hands and finish the work. Today we are all here to experience life in the mountains. We can't just stand and wait for food. Everyone, don't you agree?"
"That's right."
Dong Jingzhi and Zhong Chengyuan, Zhang An looked at them as if they were people who often did housework at home, they were so skilled.
But I don’t blame them. Who said that men in this area all have the attribute of rake ears?
My father was treated by his mother to lose his temper.
In the end, Zhang An let them take action.
Because there were too many people, both Dong Jingzhi and Dong Jingzhi were experienced, so Zhang An asked them to handle the eels. He poured the lobsters out of the cage and started cleaning them.
"Zhang An, is this thing edible? Is it delicious?"
Chen Ze had never eaten lobster, but he had eaten other shrimps. Seeing Zhang An cleaning the crayfish, he asked curiously.
"This thing doesn't taste good. It's everywhere in the ditches in the field. It tastes like mud."
Li Hongbin had eaten it when he was young, so he still had some impressions. When Chen Ze asked about it, he told him.
"That's because what you're doing is wrong. I'll give you some advice later. Just make sure you enjoy the meal. Be careful not to overeat."
Zhang An smiled at Li Hong.
"What else can be done with these shrimps? Isn't it just boiled?"
Hearing Zhang An's words, Li Hongbin became even more curious.
"You'll find out later. I'll clean these first and take care of them."
Now everyone was even more curious, and several people immediately helped Zhang An start cleaning the lobsters.
Chen Ning and Su Ying on the side were eager to help, but when they saw the pair of large pincers on the crayfish, they gave up the idea.
Wen Jing has been sitting quietly. It can be seen that she is a person who has no fingers in the spring water, otherwise Dong Jingzhi would not be so skilled in housework.
After cleaning, Zhang An dealt with the shrimp heads and shrimp threads, while Li Hongbin looked at them seriously.
The two girls couldn't stand the internal organs inside the shrimp heads, so they stopped watching.
The tiger cubs and brothers in the yard saw that there were too many people in the yard, so they ran to their nests and lay down to sleep. They didn't like the excitement.
On the contrary, it was the deer in the yard that attracted Su Ying and Chen Ze's sister.
"Zhang An, why do your family raise deer? I didn't see them last time I came here."
Chen Ze looked at the deer in the yard and asked Zhang An.
Then Zhang An told the story about Dahua. Especially after hearing that Zhang An had found ginseng, everyone was even more astonished.
"Then why don't they have horns on their heads? Shouldn't deers have horns on their heads?"
Little girl Chen Ning is a little strange that her big flower head only has two buns.
"Female deer don't grow antlers, only male deer do. But the antlers that Dahua just grew this year were cut off a few days ago, so now there are only two antler packets after the wound has healed."
Zhang An smiled and said.
"Ah, cut off the antlers on its head. Will it hurt a lot?"
"It will definitely hurt, but we used anesthesia on the big flower, so it won't hurt too much. Moreover, the stag's antlers fall off by themselves every year. Even if they don't fall off, they will find a place to knock them off. It doesn't start until spring.
The antlers that have just grown out and have not yet hardened are called antlers. Everyone knows this, so what we cut a few days ago was antlers."
Zhang An patiently explained to everyone that everyone was not very familiar with deer. Even if they had seen it, they had seen it in a zoo in the provincial capital or on TV.
"So that's how it is, so the antlers of male deer fall off once a year, so what's the use of growing them back?"
"In the wild environment, their hardened antlers are their weapons, and they can also be used to attract female deer for courtship. They are an indispensable part of male deer."
"In other words, Dahua is now living in your house, so she doesn't need to use weapons to defend herself from enemies. And since there are so many female deer in your house, she doesn't need to go out to court, right?"
Chen Ning's look of sudden realization is really cute.
"Hahaha, that's it." Zhang An then returned to the room and found the broken corner of the big flower that had been broken in the space before and took it out to everyone.
"This is the old horn it replaced in the mountains. It's such a big one."
Then everyone gathered around to look at the pair of broken antlers, like a group of curious babies.
"Brother An, let's feed Dahua."
At this time, the children in the village brought their own grass to feed the flowers.
After feeding, Dahua would lie down on the ground and let them touch her.
After touching it for a while, the big flower stood up.
It means that the grass is only enough to touch for a while.
The little naughty guys are also used to Dahua's reaction.
"Zhang An, this deer is allowed to be touched by these children." Chen Ning and Su Ying, two girls, must have seen a living deer at such a close distance for the first time. When the children were touching the deer just now, you could give it to them.
Envy is bad.
"The children in the village all like animals, and they also like Dahua and his family, so they always bring grass to feed them. When Dahua eats other people's grass, he must let others touch it, otherwise he is acting like a hooligan, so later on
If this situation develops, feed the big flower some grass and touch it for a while."
"Then can we touch it? It's furry, and we really want to touch it." The two young girls looked at Zhang An eagerly, and even Wen Jing beside them was looking forward to it.
Zhang An was a little dumbfounded and said, "Of course, I can bring it over and let you touch it."
"We don't mean to let you hold them, but we do the same as the group of children just now. Can we feed them grass and then they can touch them?"
That’s what it means.
"That's right, of course." Zhang An then went to the outer circle and brought a basket of grass over.
"You feed them this grass. After feeding them for a while, they will let you touch them when they become familiar with you."
When the girls heard this, they all got up and took a handful of grass to feed the big flowers.
"Be careful." Dong Jingzhi warned when he saw that his wife had also gone.
"It's okay, Brother Dong. The Dahua family are very docile and very close to each other, so I didn't even lock them up. I just put them in the deer shed."
In this way, several men were handling eels and lobsters nearby. After Li Hongbin watched Zhang An handle a few lobsters, he probably felt that he had learned it, so he started handling it with Zhang An. Chen Ze and Ding Yi were talking to everyone on the side.
The three girls chatted with each other and had a great time playing with Dahua's family.
After processing the eel, Zhang An cut the eel into pieces and took them home to cook for his mother.
Zhang An put a pot on another fire, poured oil, and finished the crayfish he had just washed.
Zhang An's father, Zhang Jianguo, helped chop up the chickens and rabbits in the kitchen and beat them. After Zhou Lan arrived, he was liberated.
A group of men were bragging and spanking in the yard.
"Daddy, can I go play with them? They won't kick me."
Li Yao, who had just run out to play with Zhang Tie, came back and saw some aunties playing with Xiaolu.
Li Yao pointed to the Dahua family, took Zhang An's hand and said.
"You go to those aunties and feed them grass, and they will play with you,"
When Li Yao heard what Zhang An said, he grabbed a handful of grass and joined the deer playing team.
"Zhang An, do you still have the deer antlers you harvested a few days ago? Have you sold them?"
At this time, Lao Zhong and Dong Jingzhi asked Zhang An in a low voice.
Even Li Hongbin heard it and came closer.
There is no other way. When a person reaches middle age, he has no choice but to have a weak husband and cannot hold up his head at home.
"Here he is, I don't plan to sell it. Is it possible for you guys..." Zhang An looked at a few people with a meaningful look in his eyes.
"When you get married, when you reach our age, you will know that it is not easy for a man."
As soon as these words were said, several married middle-aged men suddenly seemed to have found an organization.
"There are two or three kilograms of deer antlers cut from this crop, and the second grandfather used them to process them. It seems to be used to make wine. If you need it, you will have to wait for a while."
"Oh? Did Second Grandpa use it to make wine? Then leave some of this wine for me when the time comes. I am convinced of Second Grandpa's craftsmanship."
Li Hongbin had personally tried the medicinal wine prepared by Mr. Zhang, so that was an unconditional trust.
"Brother Li, what do you say?" Zhong Chengyuan and Dong Jingzhi became more and more curious after hearing Li Hongbin's words.
Li Hongbin was seen whispering into their ears.
"Brother Zhang An, you have to leave some for us when the time comes." After hearing this, the two of them said to Zhang An one after another.
"Okay, okay, I'll let you know when it's ready."
When several people heard Zhang An agreed, they looked at each other and smiled.
"What are you talking about? Why are you laughing so happily?"
A few people who were playing with Dahua came back. Seeing the meaningful smiles of a group of men, they asked.
"I didn't say anything, just talking."
There is still cooking in the kitchen, but some corn has just been cooked in the pot.
Zhang An brought it out for everyone to eat first.
"Everyone, come and try the corn we grew this year. I think it's pretty good. I'll cook some for you to try."
The corn that had just been boiled exuded a strong fragrance, which quickly attracted everyone. They wanted to pick up one but were afraid of burning their hands.
Zhang An found a pair of chopsticks from home, put one on for everyone, and then they could eat with the chopsticks.
There was a lot left in the basket, so Zhang An called over the dolls that were still playing with Dahua's family, and each of them shared some.
The children in the village were almost finished playing at this time, and went home while gnawing the corn given by Zhang An.
Because the adults in their family have told them today that there are guests at Zhang An's house, so they should stop disturbing others.
"Zhang An, your corn is pretty good. It's soft, glutinous, and sweet. It tastes better than the corn we buy at the vegetable market."
Nowadays, everyone is still growing local waxy corn, and fruit corn has not yet started to be grown in the city, so when Dong Jingzhi and others were in the city, they could also buy it at the vegetable market.
"Zhang An, do you grow this kind of corn in your fields? Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't eat it until you grow old?"
Chen Ning asked a little cutely. When we were chatting just now, she heard that Zhang An's family planted several acres of corn, so she thought it would be a pity not to eat such corn.
"Hahaha, what is grown in the ground is different from this one. What is grown in the ground is hybrid seeds bought from a seed company. That one is not as delicious. Now we eat local corn seeds that we keep at home, specially
Grow them and eat them as vegetables.”
Zhang An patiently explained to several people.
"And the corn yield in the field is much higher than that of local corn, so this is why people choose to plant hybrid corn. In the past two years, conditions have improved and everyone can afford rice, so most of the corn is used to raise livestock or
Sold to grain dealers to make feed."
“In the past, when every household didn’t have enough rice to eat, they grew local corn mixed with rice as their staple food.”
Their families were all in good condition, and they didn't look like people who had eaten corn rice, so Zhang Anduo said a few words.
Now that everyone eats rice, they don’t think they can make corn rice.
But in later generations, there were people in the vegetable market who made corn rice and sold it to everyone, because at that time, everyone thought that eating whole grains was good for the body. It is difficult to say that many things in the world are actually reincarnation.
However, after Zhang An's corn was planted, Zhang An also poured water from the space spring.
It tasted delicious to everyone, and I wanted to eat another one after finishing one.
He was soon stopped by Zhang An.
"Everyone, let's just eat something fresh. We are full now. We won't be able to eat lunch later. I have prepared a lot of delicious food for you today. Look at Chen Ze and Li Hongbin. They are just eating
After eating half of the corn, it stopped moving."
Hearing Zhang An's roll call, the two of them smiled unconsciously.
"If you all like to eat corn, I will break some for you when you go back. You can take it back and cook it or fry it. Anyway, this corn can be stored for a day or two without getting old."
After hearing what Zhang An said, no one ate more corn.
Chen Ning was angry when she looked at Chen Ze now. This man would have something better to eat later and he didn't even tell her.
After a while, the aroma of cooking came from the room.
Zhang An knew that the mother in the kitchen had already started cooking.
