From wilderness to palace

Chapter 69

For the villagers in Paoshantun, people from other villages will only visit the village during the holidays.This was the first time for young people like Xu Haowei from the imperial capital to see him, and they found it very new.

It's just that these villagers don't know at the moment that in the future, there will often be strangers visiting Gushantun.The leisurely and comfortable life they are enjoying at the moment may soon be broken.Can they adapt to this change?
Becoming a homestay village frequented by foreign tourists can indeed increase the income of villagers.But at the same time, it will also affect their lives.Whether this kind of thing is a good thing or a bad thing for the villagers can only wait for the test of time.

At least at this stage, the villagers feel that since Liu Yaozu came back, the village seems to have become more lively and popular.In the past, in addition to the tractors of the villagers, there were only Liu Yaozu's pickup trucks in the village, but now there are three more off-road vehicles.

Regarding the reactions or feelings of the villagers, Liu Yaozu, who had packed his backpack and was about to return to the village, naturally had no idea.On the contrary, Xu Haowei and others, who had had a night's rest, were following Aunt Wu into the mountains with great interest.

In the video earlier, they all knew that Liu Yaozu had a pine forest in the village.Even in order to take care of this pine forest, he spent a lot of time cutting down miscellaneous trees and bushes.It should be easier to walk in the pine forest than they thought.

It doesn't matter how many wild mushrooms they can pick, what matters is that the process of picking wild mushrooms is what they want to experience.Not long after entering the pine forest, Xu Haowei also said with emotion: "The temperature inside and outside the forest are two different temperatures!"

"Isn't this normal? The sun is starting to shine outside, and the temperature must be high. But this pine forest is shaded by trees, so it must feel cool when you first walk in. Come on, hurry up and follow the team, I want to pick more pine mushrooms!"

"Tch! It's just you, I'm afraid you won't be able to pick a few. When you encounter wild mushrooms you don't know, be sure to ask your aunt for advice. I don't want you to pick poisonous mushrooms and fry them. The consequences will be serious. .”

"Okay, I got it! If you don't know it, don't pick it, isn't that all right?"

After greeting their companions, the seven people who entered the pine forest also began to pick wild mushrooms.Not long after entering the pine forest, the two most interested girls found a few red mushrooms.Naturally, they also knew this kind of wild fungus.

They ran over laughingly, and carefully peeled off the pine needles. One of them even smiled and said, "This pine mushroom should have just grown. It looks so red and tender. This kind of red mushroom should be good for making soup." eat."

"Well! It seems that there should be a lot of wild mushrooms in this pine forest. Let's try to pick up more, and let Azu cook a whole mushroom feast in the evening. I watched him eat earlier, and we can only enjoy it with our eyes. I'm so hungry. !"

Listening to the conversation between the two women, the male companions also laughed.On the contrary, the fifth aunt who led the way couldn't understand why these young people would be so happy after picking a few red mushrooms?When people from the city go to the countryside, they really see everything new!

Fortunately, Fifth Aunt also knew that since these young people were guests, it was better to let them have fun.Anyway, there are a lot of wild fungi growing in the pine forest, which should be enough for them to pick them up for a while.In previous years, people from this pine forest village often came.

But this year when Liu Yaozu came back, he took the time to take care of his pine forest, so the villagers didn't have the nerve to come.Even the wild mushrooms that grow in the pine forest are supposed to be naturally cultivated, and anyone can come in and pick them up.

The problem is that each household in the village has its own forest land.If you pick up other people's things today, then tomorrow others will pick up your things.The rules formed by this kind of self-restraint will be followed by the villagers.

When Xu Haowei and his party enjoyed the fun of picking and fishing in Kaoshantun, Liu Yaozu, who returned from Hongye Lake, took a short rest in the No. [-] shelter, had lunch and continued on his way with his bags on his back.

When he got home, he saw that there was no one in the house, and he roughly guessed that these people should be fishing by the stream.Put down the rucksack, and take out a few lake fish that were specially caught.

In addition to catfish and black fish, Liu Yaozu also caught a mandarin fish weighing four to five catties this time.If this kind of wild mandarin fish is sold in the market, I am afraid that it can be sold at a price of 50 yuan per catty, which can be regarded as a rare fish.

But in Liu Yaozu's opinion, this kind of mandarin fish, commonly known as 'Aohua', couldn't be more delicious when steamed.Others can't buy it even if they have money, so how could he possibly sell it in the market after finally catching one?
In fact, when he first caught this mandarin fish, Liu Yaozu was also very surprised and delighted and said: "I really didn't expect that there are Aohua in this lake. It seems that those guys have a good fortune at night. This wild Aohua, Not so much now."

As Liu Yaozu said, although there are many rivers in the north, mandarin fish can be found.The problem is that wild mandarin fish is becoming increasingly rare due to overfishing and overfishing because of its delicious meat and high price.

Coupled with the increase in the number of artificially farmed mandarin fish, many people want to taste the delicious taste of mandarin fish, but they can only go to the aquatic product market to buy farmed mandarin fish.It's just that the taste of farmed mandarin fish is incomparable with wild mandarin fish!
Considering that it was not too early, Liu Yaozu, who had just returned home, did not bother Xu Haowei and others' interest in fishing.After taking a shower and changing his clothes, he got into the kitchen and started busy preparing for dinner in advance.

As for the wild mushrooms picked by Xu Haowei and others, he also saw them in the kitchen.But tonight, he also prepared some good dishes.Together with the vegetables picked from the vegetable garden, it was enough for Xu Haowei and others to have a good meal.

What Xu Haowei and others didn't even expect was that Liu Yaozu specially caught a chicken to entertain their arrival.After several months of raising, the previous chicken cubs have grown to three or four catties, which is undoubtedly the best for stewing mushrooms.

"Chicks, don't blame me! If you want to blame, blame the guests for coming to the door."

If the chicken that was slaughtered could understand what Liu Yaozu said, he would definitely complain: "Obviously I want to eat it, why do I blame other people for it? Pigs have to be fattened and killed, and chickens have grown up." To be eaten!"

When he had just killed the chicken and was about to boil it and plucking the feathers, Liu Yaozu soon heard laughter and footsteps coming from the door.After putting the killed chicken in a basin and pouring boiling water over it, he stood up and said with a smile: "You are back!"

"Wow, Azu, you're back? When did you come back? Didn't you say anything in advance?"

Hearing a young man say this, Liu Yaozu also smiled and said: "This is my home! I just came back for a while, took a shower and checked the time, I think it's better to prepare dinner for you first. How about the catch? ?”

"It's okay! I have to say that your village is quite rich in wild resources. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I am 'Dixing Haowei', full name Xu Haowei. They are all members of my club. He’s also my friend!”

Under Xu Haowei's recommendation, Liu Yaozu also shook hands with several young people.One of the girls was surprised when she saw the chicken soaking in the steaming pot: "Azu, is this the chicken you raised?"

"Ah! It's embarrassing to kill a chicken to entertain guests."

It is clear that in the countryside, most of the guests who can enjoy the hospitality of killing chickens are distinguished guests.But facing the embarrassment of Xu Haowei and others, Liu Yaozu smiled and said: "I said earlier that chickens are raised to be eaten. Chicken stewed with mushrooms, don't you want to try it?"

"Wow, really? Then tonight, it seems that we have a good fortune."

When one of the girls was very excited, Liu Yaozu also continued: "I have to say, you are really very lucky. Before going home in the morning, I fished a few poles in the lake, and finally caught a pure wild mandarin fish. "

"What? There are mandarin fish in the lake? The fish are there, let me see?"

Even if several young people have eaten wild mandarin fish, they are naturally very happy to be able to eat this delicious food here.What really comforted them was that although they met for the first time, there was no barrier between them, and they became like old friends after a few words.

Such an atmosphere is the reason why they feel happy!
