Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

Chapter 258: A prosperous and flourishing

"It's still early, let's go to the slaughterhouse and have a look."

Lin Heng looked at his watch and saw that it was just half past two and decided to go to the slaughterhouse again.

Places like this usually sell a lot of minced meat, which is also very suitable for feeding shrimps. The most suitable one is fishmeal, but this requires deep processing and is difficult to buy in inland areas.

After roughly understanding the situation, Lin Heng took Xiulan back to the hospital to get the physical examination report.

The doctor looked at the physical examination form and said, "There is nothing wrong with the man and he is very healthy. The woman should eat more meat or take some iron from chicken and duck blood. Everything else is fine and will not affect the birth of the child."

"I understand." Lin Heng nodded, took the order and took Xiulan away.

"Isn't it said that iron deficiency will cause dizziness and fatigue? It was a little bit last year, but this year I don't have these symptoms at all."

Xiulan held Lin Heng's hand and walked away while saying that since life got better, many of her minor physical problems have been cured.

"It's probably mild anemia. Anyway, we have meat every ton, so we're slowly making up for it."

Lin Heng thought for a while and said that people in this era are generally deficient in various trace elements. Many rural people are anemic, and there are also many big neck diseases caused by iodine deficiency.

Iodine deficiency is an endemic disease. Without iodized salt, there are many big neck diseases in the interior. Iron and potassium deficiency are generally caused by poor living standards. Generally, meat contains more iron and potassium.

"Then I'll go back and eat more." Xiulan said with a smile.

"It's time to eat more, and I'll replenish your head when I get back." Lin Heng squeezed her hand and smiled.

"You can eat bears, but you have to control my mother and stop letting her cook for me, otherwise I will become a fat man after giving birth."

Xiulan said weakly, her mother-in-law's excessive concern was also scary.

"Don't worry, I will take care of you personally." Lin Heng promised. Although some of his actions were well-intentioned, they were indeed a bit embarrassing.

Now that life is better, he estimates that his mother will make Xiulan stew every day, which is really unbearable.

"You said it, don't lie to others." Xiulan blinked.

"I said that." Lin Heng nodded, and then asked: "Do you have anything to buy?"

"No." Xiulan shook her head. Lin Heng had bought everything he needed in the house, and there was nothing left to buy.

"Then go back."

Lin Heng nodded, got on his motorcycle and started.

"Well, let's go back." Xiulan got into the car and hugged Lin Heng's waist tightly.

Lin Heng started the car, bought fifty liters of diesel for the chain saw, and hurried back.

After a while, the two of them left the city and arrived at the suburbs. The afternoon sun was not hot at all, and the cool mountain breeze made people feel comfortable.

"I saw a toon on the roadside, do you want to break it?"

Suddenly Xiulan spoke.

"Then let's break up. There won't be much to do when we go back anyway."

Lin Heng stopped the car and said that there were many toonas on the side of the road out of the suburbs, but the ones here were all green toonas, not red toonas.

Then the two people's journey home became a stop-and-start journey. Xiulan asked Lin Heng to stop the car and say goodbye.

By the time they returned to Hongfeng Mountain, the two of them had broken off seven or eight kilograms of Chinese toon, which was a huge harvest.

"This trip to the city is not in vain."

The car stopped in front of the door, and Xiulan walked out with a smile and a toon and handbag.

"It's not in vain."

Lin Heng said with a smile, drove the car up the slope, and slowly drove back to the yard.

Xiaoxia clingingly ran over and hugged Lin Heng and Xiulan's thighs: "Mom, Dad, where have you been?"

"I went to the city to do some errands. I brought you candy, your favorite White Rabbit toffee."

Xiulan took out a candy and peeled it open for her.

Lin Heng looked at his watch. It was already half past five. It took a long time to break the toon on the way.

Caiyun looked at the two of them and said, "Second brother, are you okay after checking your body?"

Lin Heng shook his head and said, "There's no problem, it's just that your sister-in-law is a little iron-deficient anemic."

"That's good, I'll go back first if it's okay." Caiyun nodded.

"Let's stay and eat together." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Okay, I won't be polite anyway." Caiyun chuckled and didn't even take a few steps.

"Dad, what are they doing today?"

Lin Heng walked into the house and poured two glasses of water, then raised his head and asked.

"Dad and my eldest brother are plowing and harrowing the fields in preparation for planting corn and rice." Caiyun nodded.

Lin Heng knew in his heart that this was all he had to do during this period, and there was nothing else to do.

The work of raising rice seedlings has been done a long time ago. There is less time to plant crops this year, so the rice can be planted earlier.

After resting for a while, Xiulan went to cook. Lin Heng and Caiyun picked some toon buds.

In the evening, Xiulan made soup from a large crucian carp left over from yesterday, and used morels to fry bacon this time.

Then another piece of bacon was fried with thorn sprouts. This time the Chinese toon was also blanched and served cold.

"The bacon made from wild boar seems to have more flavor than domestic pork."

Caiyun said as she ate the fried bacon with spinach sprouts. It felt more delicious than what Lin’s mother made.

"It depends on luck. Some wild boars are good to eat, all kinds of Chinese herbs, wild fruits, and even ginseng can be eaten, but some taste bad."

Lin Heng said with a smile.

He has gained experience after eating so much wild boar. The meat quality of each wild boar is different. It may be garbage, or it may be legend. It is completely a blind box.

"The old thorn buds are so delicious. Let's break some after the trees above us sprout."

Xiulan said while eating that she felt that the thorn buds were more delicious than the toon, with a rich flavor and a crisp texture.

"no problem."

Lin Heng nodded in agreement and took a bite of cold toon. The toon tasted different when it was cold, but he still liked to eat it stir-fried with bacon.

Ci Laoya is also good. He thinks it is similar to Chinese toon. He likes to eat both, but he is not as partial to Xiulan.

“This morel mushroom stir-fry is delicious.”

Caiyun ate one himself and fed one to Xiaoxia.

"That's natural, otherwise it wouldn't be so expensive."

Lin Heng smiled and nodded. The stir-fried pork with morel mushrooms really killed the Chinese toon and thorn buds instantly. It tasted so fragrant.

There were three adults and one child. We didn’t eat much rice, we mainly ate vegetables. The delicacies of spring were so charming.

After dinner, Caiyun said goodbye and went home. Lin Heng finished washing the dishes and the three of them ate in the yard for a while.

"Dad, I want to sleep~"

Xiaoxia rubbed her eyes after playing for a while and said that she would be very tired after playing around all day.

"Then go to sleep."

Lin Heng carried her into the house and told her the story of Nuwa's creation of human beings. After saying a few words, Xiaoxia fell into a deep sleep.

Xiulan boiled water in a large wooden bucket, and the two of them took a cozy bath.

"Let's go, let's start learning from Nuwa!"

After Lin Heng took a shower, he picked up Xiulan and said with a smile.

"Turn off the lights!"

Xiulan hugged Lin Heng's neck, her pretty face covered with red clouds.

Lin Heng gently put her down, kissed her, and slowly pounced on her.

"Hmm~"

There is no need to deliberately control it, it can come as you want, and there is no need to be blocked by anything.

As the two of them resonated, the bedroom gradually became quiet.

"Fantastic."

Lin Heng hugged Xiulan and said drunkenly, this was the most enjoyable time since his rebirth.

Xiulan huddled in Lin Heng's arms and remained silent. She didn't know whether she was too shy to recover from the impact of the hot ion current, or because she was too shy.

After a while, she felt Lin Heng's hand crawling up again, and it sank in again without noticing.

Early the next morning, Lin Heng woke up and found that Xiulan was not awake.

After shaking it gently, she suddenly frowned: "Don't make trouble, I will sleep for a while."

"All right."

Lin Heng smiled, guessing that it was probably because he was too violent yesterday.

She got up silently, went to milk the cows after exercising, and made potato cakes and stir-fried bacon with Chinese toon before going to ask Xiulan and Xiaoxia to eat.

After Xiulan got up, she looked at the food on the table, sniffed and said with a smile, "It smells so good. The craftsmanship is good."

"No, cooking is not a problem for me at all."

Lin Heng said with a smile, handed her a pair of chopsticks, and brought Xiaoxia a potato pancake.

He himself prefers to smear potato pancakes with fermented bean curd and then eat them.

"tasty."

Xiulan nodded in affirmation. Lin Heng's skills were no worse than hers.

Lin Heng chuckled, feeling overwhelmed by the praise. He reached out and poured some milk for Xiaoxia and Xiulan.

After dinner, Lin Heng told Xiulan and rode Hongzao to Hongfeng Mountain.

Opening the door, the cement floor is now completely solidified, gray-white, and as hard as stone.

First, I went to look at the grass carp pond and found that there were many grass carp fry on the water surface eating the leaves of foxtail grass. Since there was not much feeding in the winter, these fry were about the same size as last year.

After taking a look at the grass carp fry, Lin Heng went to look at other ponds. Apart from the water level rising a lot, there were no other changes.

I went up and looked at the house again. Three warehouses, two incubators, and a hundred square meters were all fine.

Lin Heng breathed out. This place is now considered an industry. Even if they only operate these fish ponds in the next few decades, his family will become a middle-class family.

After one glance, he stopped paying attention. The main purpose of coming today was to see if the grass had sprouted.

Walking further up, Lin Heng saw rows of green grass sprouts sprouting up as he got closer. Although they were only two or three centimeters, they were growing very well.

The three kinds of pastures and the Chinese medicinal material Forsythia suspensa have all sprouted. The land was already fertile when it was first opened up, and with this spring rain, all of them have sprouted as expected.

"Don't worry about it now."

Lin Heng nodded happily. These three acres of pasture were enough for the family's forest musk deer and other cattle, sheep, and horses.

After looking at the forage, he put the red dates on the roadside to graze, and climbed up the mountain to look at the ginseng.

Unlike pasture, ginseng grows much slower, and no seedlings emerge.

"Sure enough, no seedlings emerged."

Lin Heng had known this would happen, so he squatted down and dug in the soil nearby.

The ginseng seeds have taken root many times, and green shoots can also be seen, which means they are growing vigorously. It is estimated that the seedlings will be visible in ten and a half months.

After looking here, he ran to look at the apple tree and the Chinese medicinal materials over there. Turmeric and astragalus had sprouted, and the apple tree had grown a few small round leaves, all of which were in good condition.

"It's good that they are all thriving."

Lin Heng nodded with satisfaction and felt relieved after seeing that they were in good condition.
