Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    They were busy for a long time planting all the bamboo poles in a cart, and then Professor Zhao hurriedly made a big fire with pine wood to remove moisture in the new house.

    These pine trees are all half-sized pine branches that Liu Junhao cut back from the mountain some time ago. This stuff contains rosin, which is very useful for burning after drying. Not only does it not have much smoke, but it also has a fragrance of rosin. Now use it to  It is best to bake the moisture out of the house.

    In fact, Liujiagou¡¯s tradition of going up the mountain to cut firewood has almost been lost. Now that the crops in the fields can¡¯t be burned, who would take the trouble to go to the mountain to cut firewood.  Even the branches used when steaming the buns were only made in the village.

    There are so many trees in Liujiagou that no one has a few on their house. The dead branches on these trees can be used as firewood.  Especially for poplar trees, when the autumn wind blows, branches as thick as a thumb can fall thickly to the ground.  After just one day of picking, you can build a small stack and have enough firewood to steam steamed buns for half a year.

    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the purpose of baking a house for Professor Zhao, Liu Junhao would not go to the mountain to chop pine branches.

    These pine trees had already been dried thoroughly in the sun. After being ignited by fire, they quickly burned fiercely, causing sweat to form on the foreheads of the two people.

    "It's no need to regret such a good charcoal fire. Just wait, I'll catch some crucian carp in the ditch and let's grill them and eat them." Liu Junhao said and stood up.

    He returned to the yard, took off his net bag, fished back and forth in the ditch, and caught four crucian carp shells weighing half a catty.  This thing has grown particularly strong under the nourishment of the spring water. The backbone feels thick to the touch and is all meat. It must taste delicious.  He fumbled for another packet of seasonings in the kitchen, pulled out a few pieces of white paper, and returned to Professor Zhao.

    Liu Junhao was naturally familiar with grilling fish. He pinched the head of the crucian carp with his hands, opened the mouth of the fish, and poured the seasonings into the belly of the fish. He did not let go until it was full.  Then he sprinkled some seasonings on the paper, and finally put the fish on the paper and wrapped it.

    After the crucian carp comes out of the water, its body is covered with mucus, so the white paper can be easily stuck on it.

    "What tricks did you do? This looks like a recipe for beggar's chicken. Is it delicious? You didn't even use the fish scales and the contents of the belly?" Professor Zhao looked at him and threw the wet paper ball in the  In the fire, I couldn't help but ask.

    "You will know later whether it tastes good or not," Liu Junhao said, carefully turning away the charcoal fire and flipping it, trying to make both sides evenly heated.

    The fire immediately made a "squeaking" sound of water vapor. The pine wood after autumn contains more rosin, so the pine scent is particularly strong when it is burned. Soon the fish scent in the rosin also came out, filling the whole house.  yes.

    After a while, Liu Junhao looked at the time and estimated that the time was almost up, so he took a few paper balls out of the fire.  Then he inserted a thin branch through the fish's mouth, handed it to Professor Zhao and said, "It's ready to eat now. It should be hot while it's hot. The fishy smell will come out when it's cold."

    "Is this cooked or not?" Professor Zhao heard the squeaking sound inside and looked at the browned paper ball with some confusion.

    "Don't worry, I won't let you eat raw fish." Liu Junhao pierced another one with a branch, then grabbed one side of the paper ball like peeling a banana, reached out and peeled it off, and the fish skin stuck to the paper was immediately peeled off.  .  The white and tender fish meat was exposed inside, and it was steaming hot.

    He took a bite, and the aroma of fish and rosin entered his mouth. Coupled with the condiments he had sprinkled before, it had a different taste.

    Professor Zhao saw that he was eating deliciously, so he couldn't help but follow Liu Junhao's example and peel off the fish skin. He carefully took a bite, and then he was so burned that he blew air from his mouth. After finally swallowing a mouthful of fish meat,  , he couldn't help but praise.

    "What good food are you two eating here?" At this time, Teacher Wang's voice came from the door, followed by Zhang Qian. It seemed that they also came here smelling the fragrance.

    There happened to be two left, one for each person, and the four of them sat beside the pine fire and ate the unique grilled fish.

    Liu Junhao¡¯s timing is just right. In a few minutes, the water vapor will be dried out and it will not taste good.  The current fish retains its original flavor to the greatest extent and is extremely fresh and tender.  It smells good, and tastes even better when you eat it. When you eat it, your mouth is filled with crispy goodness, giving you a wonderful taste that you can't stop eating.

    "We have been living together for half a year. I didn't expect you, Xiaohao, to have such skills." Professor Zhao smacked his mouth after eating, looking like he still had more to say.

    "Haha, yes, I also discovered that Xiaohao has a good way of cooking. Whoever wants to marry you as a wife in the future will be lucky." Teacher Wang also followed behind and joked.

    "Who wants to marry me?" When this topic was brought up, Liu Junhao seemed a little depressed. In the morning, he was still thinking about what his future wife would be like.???

    "Why not? What do you think of Xiao Zhang?" Teacher Wang continued to joke, and the Xiao Zhang in her mouth was Zhang Qian.

    "Aunt Wang, what are you talking about?" Before Liu Junhao could speak, Zhang Qian hurriedly spoke to stop her from continuing.

    When Liu Junhao heard Teacher Wang make this suggestion, his heart suddenly moved, but the little flower in his heart was extinguished before it opened.

    Girls are thin-skinned after all. Zhang Qian's face immediately felt hot after hearing this, but she was too embarrassed to leave now. It would make her feel too guilty, so she lowered her head and said nothing.

    ¡°Actually, Teacher Wang was not entirely joking. As the saying goes, time reveals people¡¯s hearts. After living here for more than a month, she also saw that this young man Liu Junhao is indeed a good person.  But the blind date didn't go very smoothly, and every time I met, I was dissatisfied.

    When people get older, they are particularly concerned about the affairs of younger generations, and she is also willing to help Liu Junhao.

    But apart from Zhang Qian, the young girls Teacher Wang knew were not in front of him, so he said what he just said.  Seeing that although Zhang Qian objected in her mouth, she didn't look unhappy on her face, she took it for granted that she just said that to save face.  So Teacher Wang became more confident in bringing the two of them together, and was ready to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Zhang Qian in private.

    In the afternoon, Liu Junhao and Professor Zhao rested for a while and started working again. They were going to sweep out all the pine ash that had been burned into carbon residue from the house.  Who knew that pine wood could burn for a very long time? Even after a few hours, there were still many scattered charcoal blocks igniting during the cleaning.  When Professor Zhao saw it, he simply stopped sweeping it and directly placed the pine branches on top and continued to burn. Anyway, the carbon residue below also absorbs moisture.

    As the weather gets cooler day by day, most people in the village are completely free.  When they have nothing to do, they naturally look for fun, so the men carry shovels and wander around the roadside or on the mountain ridges, looking for mouse holes to dig.

    Now is the best time to dig mouse holes. The mouse barns are full of food stolen from the ground.

    Liu Junhao was not idle either. He led Xiaopi and ran up the mountain ridge.  Professor Zhao also carried a shovel and followed. He had never dug a mouse hole before, and this time he went just to join in the fun.

    There are two types of mice in the wild, one is field mice and the other is mountain mice. You can tell their living range just from their names.

    Although the field mouse lives on the ground, it is far less intelligent than the mountain mouse, and the food in the mouse's barn is not as abundant as that stored by the mountain mouse.

    It¡¯s just that mountain rats are too cunning, and the holes they make are usually very hidden and difficult to find.  Moreover, the holes are more difficult to dig than those of voles. When digging, they often encounter big tree roots or rocks, which makes it impossible to continue digging and has to give up halfway.

    Liu Junhao was lucky. With the help of Xiaopi, he quickly found a mouse hole. Looking at the pile of half-dried soil at the entrance of the hole, he knew it was a new hole.

    Digging a mouse hole also requires experience. You can't dig just when you see a hole. You must first look at the smoothness of the hole and the signs of old and new, and then determine how much food should be in the mouse barn.

    Generally speaking, mice¡¯s barns will be full of food in new holes dug in autumn, while most old holes contain very little food or have been abandoned by mice. Even if you dig such a hole, it will be in vain.

    He saw that there was no cover around him, so he took off his clothes and dug up his shirtless body.

    At this time, there is no need to divide the main hole and side holes when digging mouse holes. What you want is not mice anyway, as long as you don¡¯t dig fake holes.

    Of course, you have to be careful when digging along the main hole, and look carefully to see if there are any other side holes on the wall, because if you don't pay attention, the side holes will be covered by soil. In this way, you dig all the way down the main hole, and at the end  The mouse was caught, but the granary was not found, so it was all in vain and had to start all over again.
