Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

Lin Heng helped to add fire, and soon breakfast was ready. Now life is better, and the food is delicious.

After lunch, the winter sun finally melted the frost on the ground, and the place where the sun shines can make people feel comfortable and warm.

"Let's go fishing in Hongfeng Mountain, and take the children with us."

After cleaning up the dishes, Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and said.

"Okay." Xiulan nodded and agreed. She was willing to do anything with Lin Heng.

After a pause, Xiulan asked again: "Fishing for stream grouper, grass carp or plum carp?"

"I want to fish too, Dad!" Xiaoxia heard about fishing and ran over.

"No problem, I'll teach you how to fish later." Lin Heng touched her little face and replied to Xiulan, "I'm going to fish for grass carp. Catch a few and put them in the stream to eat during the New Year."

Although the water in the pond is mountain stream water, it is dead water after all, and the fish still has a fishy smell.

Put it in the mountain spring water for a period of time, and the taste will be much better.

"Okay, let's clean up."

Xiu Lan nodded, pushed out the stroller, put the child in it, and then covered the child tightly with a small quilt.

She has always been very careful in taking care of children, and tried her best to prevent the child from being blown by the cold wind when she went out.

Lin Heng just prepared a few fish hooks, and the others were all over Hongfeng Mountain.

After finishing, he pushed a stroller and took Xiaoxia and Xiu Lan side by side towards Hongfeng Mountain. Now there is a desolate scene everywhere. The mountain is gray, the sky is foggy, and only the wheat fields and rape fields on the ridges are a little green.

Walking in the village, many people were very curious to see his figure. Someone said: "Lin Heng is back. I heard that you went hunting. How was the harvest?"

"It's average. I didn't catch anything." Lin Heng shook his head and said.

Tian Baishun walked down the slope and said, "Don't lie. If you say less, you must have a big harvest. Tell us so that we can see it."

"That's right. I saw your car pulling Gao Gao back last night. How could you not have caught anything?" Someone said. Lin Heng didn't come back too late last night, and someone saw him.

"It's just a wild boar. The rest are pots, pans, yams and other things." Lin Heng said with his hands spread out.

Hearing his words, Wang Bing said with a little ridicule: "Then you can't do it. You ran out for so long and only caught these things. I not only caught a wild boar, but also a muntjac."

Lin Heng smiled and said, "Then you are amazing. I can't catch prey now, so I just raise cattle, sheep and shrimps."

Wang Bing: "..."

A cheerful laugh sounded next to him, which made Wang Bing a little embarrassed. He wanted to show off, but he was suppressed by Lin Heng before he could show off.

"No more talking, let's go."

Lin Heng waved his hand and left with his wife and children.

He didn't need to rely on prey to prove how powerful he was. Whenever the villagers passed by Hongfeng Mountain, they would sigh.

Soon, the five people came to Hongfeng Mountain. Now, you can see a gray-white cement road from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The outlines of two super-large platforms at some positions below the top of the mountain can also be seen from afar.

"Wife, when was this repaired?" Lin Heng turned his head and asked.

"It has been repaired for about ten days. The side at the bottom of the mountain has also been repaired and a retaining wall has been built." Xiulan pointed to the place where the soil was dumped on the roadside at the bottom of the mountain.

Lin Heng ran over to take a look. The soil from the platform was poured into the pit outside the road, filling a platform of more than one acre. Lin Heng walked over and saw that his father had built a retaining wall on the side of the road near the Shiban River. Now the platform does not have to worry about being washed away by rising water.

This platform was compacted by the excavator at the beginning, but it was not hardened. It just poured some excavated gravel to cover the yellow mud, so it would not be very muddy when walking on it on rainy days.

He was going to build a composting pool here and pile up cow and sheep manure, but he hadn't made up his mind whether to do so.

After taking a look, he turned back and pushed the child into the breeding base with Xiulan and came to the parents' residence above.

"Come over and sit down to have a bite."

Father Lin and the other two were eating at this time and saw the three people standing up and said.

Because the dogs knew Lin Heng and Xiulan, they naturally didn't bark, and they didn't find out in advance.

"We just ate it. Now we are going to go fishing in the grass carp pond. You guys eat it." Lin Heng shook his head and said.

Xiulan pushed the child into the house and said, "Yes, mom, you don't have to worry about us."

Only Xiaoxia was curious about what her grandparents were eating. She trotted over to take a look. Her grandma picked a piece of lean meat to feed her. After tasting it, she shook her head and ran away, indicating that she didn't want to eat it anymore.

"Be careful not to fall, don't go to the water." Mother Lin warned.

"I know, grandma." Xiaoxia agreed and sat in a small wooden car made by her grandfather to play outside.

Lin Heng went into the house and found the fishing rods placed here. They were all intact, even the hooks were still there.

Lin's mother looked at her son and daughter-in-law and said, "If you want to go fishing, go ahead. I'll watch the children."

"Thank you, Mom. The children just ate. Just be careful not to let them crawl out." Xiulan smiled.

At this time, Lin's father said, "Son, go fishing first. We can get musk for the musk deer in the evening. It's time to get it."

"Understood." Lin Heng nodded and put the fishing rod aside. He took a hoe and went out to dig earthworms.

Xiulan went out with him and took Xiaoxia with her. Lin Heng hadn't been back for a long time and looked around. The top of the mountain was too far. He didn't go, so he just looked at the animals raised at home.

The lambs have grown up a lot, and the cows' bellies have become rounder, but nothing else has changed. The red dates are raised outside, and the three white goats are bleating on the mountain while eating grass. The chickens no longer lay eggs, and there are no insects to eat in winter, so they are not very active.

After looking around, he started digging for earthworms at the edge of the compost pond. It was difficult to dig earthworms in winter, but there was a lot of manure in this place, so Lin Heng wanted to try it.

"There are so many native silkworms. This thing should be good for fishing."

No earthworms were found, Lin Heng looked at the white silkworms dug out of the soil and said.

Xiulan blinked and put the silkworms into a plastic bag with a wooden stick: "It should be okay, they are all meat."

"Then go fishing. If you can't catch anything, try something else." Lin Heng nodded and said, even the earthworms beside the dung pile are not easy to dig in winter.

But he didn't think it was a big problem. There were fish everywhere in the fish pond and they could definitely be caught.

"You can definitely catch it. Dad is the best." Xiaoxia raised her hands, more confident than Lin Heng.

She was pulled by Xiulan, still jumping up and down, carefree.

Coming down from above, Lin Heng took another look in the pig pen. Two big fat pigs were eating in the pig pen.

Xiulan said: "You have killed so many prey this time, it is more than we can kill a pig during the Chinese New Year."

"Then kill one and have a taste." Lin Heng said with a smile. He had been fed acorns for two years. He wanted to taste the difference between this pork and ordinary pork.

After saying that, he took Xiulan back to the house to get the fishing rod, fish guard and bench, and the three of them went to the grass carp pond together.

The two sat down side by side and fixed the hook line. Lin Heng first threaded a silkworm on Xiulan, then threaded one on himself and threw it into the fish pond.

"Yeah, there's fish!"

Xiulan let out an exclamation as soon as she threw it in. The fishing rod bent into a big bow in her hand, and a big grass carp struggled hard in the water.

"Wow, mom is so awesome." Xiaoxia cheered from the side.

"You can fish by yourself, and I'll copy it for you."

Lin Heng picked up the net and said with a smile, fish have little strength in winter.

Lin Heng set up the net, and Xiulan pulled the fish twice into the net. When she saw the fish brought ashore, she squatted down and said with a smile: "This grass carp must be six or seven pounds."

"Definitely, I estimate the big one can weigh ten kilograms." Lin Heng nodded and said, grass carp can grow six or seven kilograms a year, and these grass carp have been fed very well this year.

The scales of this grass carp are golden and very beautiful, almost the same as the big grass carp caught in wild rivers. Put it into the fish guard and the two continued fishing.

After waiting for about half a minute, Lin Heng found that the float was floating down. He pulled hard and stung a fish. After playing with it for a while, he picked it up and put it into the fish guard.

"Yeah, I got hit again."

Just as Lin Heng put the fish in, Xiulan got another one. She excitedly pulled it over for Lin Heng to copy.

Fishing in your own fish pond is basically not about the air force. It is completely about experiencing the joy of fishing.

"Dad, I want to fish too." Xiaoxia acted coquettishly next to Lin Heng. She thought fishing was so interesting.

"Then give it a try." Lin Heng held her in his arms and assisted in fishing.

"Wow, big fish, big fish!!"

After a while, a fish bit the hook, and Xiaoxia screamed excitedly. Even with Lin Heng helping from behind, she was pulled towards the water.

When she saw the big fish landing, she was even more happy from ear to ear. Xiulan put a scarf around her mouth, fearing that she would catch a cold from breathing in too much cold wind.

Then Lin Heng and Xiulan caught several fish one after another until all the dug silkworms were caught. Both of them have become addicted to fishing. Although there are not as many surprises as wild fishing, it feels good to catch fish frequently.

"How many fish are there on one fish?"

Xiulan asked curiously after catching the fish.

"About eight or nine." Lin Heng walked over and lifted the fish up. With the sound of splashing water, the fifty or sixty-kilogram fish was pulled up.

"There are nine fish in total. This is enough. Let's go, let's take them to the mountain stream and raise them."

Lin Heng counted the fish and said that there must be too much fish for his own consumption, and he would also like to give some to relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year.

"Okay." Xiulan nodded and pulled Xiaoxia to follow Lin Heng.

Lin Heng carried the fish to the edge of the mountain stream, walked and stopped, and finally chose the pool created by the waterfall from the small dam on the top of the mountain.

This pool is one person deep and covers an area of ​​three to four square meters. The best thing here is that the dissolved oxygen is very sufficient. The arm-thick waterfalls coming down from the mountain are splashing with countless splashes in the water all the time. You don’t have to worry about nine large grass carp being kept here. Not enough oxygen.

Lin Heng put the fish in one by one and watched them swim slowly in the pool. Then he moved rocks to block the outlet.

"Okay, that's enough. It will be absolutely delicious to catch and eat fish during the Chinese New Year." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"There are nine fish in total, I can count them clearly." Xiaoxia said with her chin held high, her big eyes gleaming. She is very good now. She can count to a hundred, can write a lot of words, and can draw. , and got to know many plants.

The most powerful thing is speaking. She can speak clearly for a long time, and sometimes she can tell stories to a lot of people in the village without any stage fright.

"My dear baby is so awesome." Lin Heng praised her, then looked at Xiulan and said, "Daughter-in-law, do you want to go up the mountain to catch plum blossoms?"

He was planning to go up the mountain to play, and since he was back, he naturally wanted to go up the mountain to have a look.

Xiu Lan said, "No need to fish. There are frozen stinky mandarin fish in the freezer at home, which is enough for eating."

Lin Heng nodded, held his daughter and sat on his neck, and the three of them walked towards the mountain.

There are some fallen leaves in the small reservoir on the mountain now, and the water is green. The bottom cannot be seen clearly, but if you throw some things in, you can see the figure of plum fish turning out to find food.

"I harvested a lot of dendrobium this year. The ones you planted on the tree can really survive."

Xiu Lan said as she looked at the dendrobium on the tree.

Lin Heng took a look and said, "Dendrobium is too difficult to raise, otherwise I would like to expand the scale."

Now these are just for fun, and you can make some dendrobium tea for yourself.

As they talked, they came to the cabin. Lin Heng looked at the big trees not far away and said, "When I have time, I will build a tree house on the tree here to play."

A house on a tree is also one of the gifts he wanted most when he was a child. I believe that both Xiaoxia and Luming Duheng will like it after it is built.

"Okay, Dad, let's build it now." Xiaoxia said immediately after hearing this.

"Let's wait until later, there's no time now." Lin Heng put her down.

The scenery on the top of the mountain is not beautiful without snow in winter, and the scenery at the bottom of the mountain is not very good either, but she is a beautiful scenery with Xiulan. After looking at the house and going to the ginseng garden, they went down the mountain.

Father Lin and the others had already finished their meal and were waiting for him to come and help get the musk of the musk deer.

"Dad, how are the pearl oysters I raised last year? Have you seen them?"

Lin Heng asked as he walked towards the musk deer pen. He just remembered this when he went down the mountain.

Father Lin shook his head: "I don't know either. I haven't seen them since they were moved out this year and thrown into the shrimp pond at the bottom. If you want to find them, I can release the water these two days to see if there are any."

If Lin Heng didn't say this, he would have forgotten it.

"Then release the water, catch some shrimps and take a look at the clams." Lin Heng said, he thought there must be pearls in these clams.

"Okay." Father Lin agreed.

After waiting for a while in the Musk Deer pen, his uncle came over after using the toilet. The three of them went in and caught the male Musk Deer. Two of them held it down, and one slowly took the musk.

Although there is a new male Musk Deer this year, it will take another two years to take the musk. Musk Deer mature at two years old, but it takes more than three years for a male Musk Deer to produce musk.

After taking the musk, Lin Heng carefully sealed it. This year, the amount of musk is more, and it can probably sell for a few hundred yuan more.

"By the way, son, you should go to Xiaozhuo Township early tomorrow morning. I have something to tell you."

Put the Musk Deer back into the pen, Lin's father said.
