Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

Chapter 46 A pleasant time in the rain

He stayed in bed for a while, played with his wife's hands for a while, and didn't wake up until his daughter woke up with a hum.

Lin Heng looked at the clock, it was only seven o'clock, and time seemed to pass so slowly in the days when there was no TV.

In the main room, Liang the carpenter had already started sawing wooden boards. He had sawed hundreds of boards in the past few days, but it was still far from enough.

Father Lin was helping out by peeling the bark with a razor.

"You came back wet yesterday, didn't you catch a cold?" Father Lin asked when he looked up, his eyes no longer had the look of disappointment in the past.

"No, Xiulan made ginger soup for me last night, nothing happened." Lin Heng smiled, and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

This was just the beginning, he was going to slowly make this family completely wealthy, so that his parents didn't have to run around for living supplies, and so that they had time to pursue their hobbies.

"That's good, your mother's breakfast should be ready soon, wash your face and eat quickly." Father Lin said.

Lin Heng nodded and was about to go out when Carpenter Liang handed over more than ten Paulownia arrow shafts and said with a smile: "I got up this morning and had nothing to do. Do you think it's suitable?"

Lin Heng took a look and saw that the arrow shaft was round and had obviously been polished with sandpaper, which showed that Carpenter Liang was really attentive.

It was obvious that all this was brought by the wild boar last night. People in this era were also very pure in some aspects, that is, they admired people with skills.

Hunting a wild boar alone undoubtedly proved Lin Heng's hunting skills.

"It's very suitable. Uncle Liang's hands are really skillful." Lin Heng took the arrow shaft and said happily.

Carpenter Liang smiled: "A good horse goes with a good saddle. It's perfect for you. I come to your house to work and eat meat every day. It's also a contribution."

"Haha, judging from what you said, Uncle Liang should do this." Lin Heng also smiled and showed his white teeth.

This Carpenter Liang is really an interesting person.

"I heard the bang bang sound last night. Did you kill all those mice?" Carpenter Liang asked, looking at the mice in the basket by the wall.

"Yes, they were too noisy and running around on the tarpaulin. I led them to the windowsill and killed them with a slingshot." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Awesome!" Carpenter Liang was really impressed. All the mice were killed by being hit in the head. It was so scary.

Not only him, but also the family members who got up early were shocked. They could kill so many mice with a slingshot in the dark at night. The slingshot technique was really scary.

"Haha, it's close, so it's easy to kill." Lin Heng smiled and was modest.

The noodles and sauerkraut noodles for breakfast today are considered very good breakfasts in this era.

After breakfast, the rain was still as heavy as before. Lin's mother and others were processing yesterday's badger meat, cutting the meat, applying salt and smoking it with cypress branches.

There was no refrigerator, so this was the only way.

After the pig offal was prepared, it was all fried and put aside. It was fried three times a day for three meals until it was finished, otherwise it would go bad.

Even if it rains, it is still more than 10 degrees, and it is difficult to store things for a long time.

"Here, this is a reward for you." Lin Heng poured the food into its dog bowl. It was all rat meat, and there was no trace of food.

Fearing that its life would be in danger, Lin Heng burned all the rat hair and cooked it for more than half an hour. He served it to it only when it was soft.

"Bang bang!"

Seeing the food, Xiongba lowered his head and began to eat crazily, smacking his lips, and it was called a whirlwind.

Three pounds of meat were eaten by it in less than two minutes. He raised his head and looked at Lin Heng with a pair of light golden dog eyes, as if asking if there was any more.

"No, this is all I have this morning." Lin Heng patted its head.

Then he found a bench and sat under the eaves to assemble his own arrows. The arrowheads and tail feathers were ready-made, so it was quick to assemble.

After assembling, Lin Heng tried it again. The effect was very good, and it felt better than the ones he bought.

After everything was done, Lin Heng leaned on the back of the chair, stretched his legs, put his left leg on top of his right leg, and rested his head with his hands on his head, watching the sky rain.

"Dog... dog..."

Xiaoxia was teasing the dog, but Xiongba was just playing it, lying on the ground and letting her pull his ears, touch his belly, and pull his tail, but he was unmoved.

Without interaction, Xiaoxia soon felt bored, and she was so angry that she hit him randomly in the air, and then turned around to annoy Lin Heng.

Lin Heng also pretended to be dead, and the angry little girl hit him for a long time, and when she saw her aunt Caiyun, she staggered over.

"Woof woof~"

After Xiaoxia left, Xiongba walked up to Lin Heng and looked at him with some resentment.

"Isn't it gone?" Lin Heng touched the dog's head, but Xiongba didn't buy it, and turned around and lay down with his tail facing him.

Xiulan and sister-in-law Liu Juan both took out their needlework, Xiulan was pulling the soles of her shoes, and sister-in-law Liu Juan was mending clothes.

There was the sound of rain outside, and the sound of chopping and cutting wood in the main room.

The mountains in the distance were hazy in the rain, and the fog invaded from the other side of the mountains to this side, like a huge white monster eating, swallowing up the mountains one by one.

The quiet and peaceful environment made Lin Heng a little sleepy, and the slow time always made people want to sleep.

However, the laughter of his daughter and the playful sounds of his two nephews playing hide-and-seek games would always wake Lin Heng up.

This lazy time made him feel peaceful, which was a scene that he could only dream of in his previous life.

However, not everyone was so leisurely. Some people were wearing raincoats to cut grass for cows, and some were busy inserting sweet potatoes into the ground. There were always people busy in this world.

Lin Heng fell asleep in the sound of rain. When he woke up, he had an extra piece of clothing on him. Who else could it be if it wasn't Xiulan?

When Lin Heng fell asleep, she was also doing sewing and taking care of the children, and didn't leave much.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the rain stopped, and the eldest brother went out to hunt cattle. Lin Heng and Xiongba went out to help, holding a basket and a slingshot.

I don't have much hope for hunting, I just hope to collect some fungi. In this season, there will be no shortage of fungi after the rain.

Xiulan, Lin's mother, and sister-in-law Liu Juan also went up the mountain with baskets, while Caiyun stayed at home to take care of the children.

Many women from the village also went up the mountain. The first wave of fungi after the rain was the most attractive. Everyone had their own fungus nest for fear of being robbed.

Especially near villages, there are only a few places where fungi are found, and everyone knows about them.

"Let's search separately and get some to build a house for tomorrow."

Mother Lin said something, and the three of them separated.

"Brother, I can cut the cow grass alone. You and Xiulan and the others can go pick up the fungi together."

The eldest brother Lin Yue said with a smile.

"It's okay, I can pick it up anywhere."

Lin Heng chuckled. Those places with many people may not have good bacteria.

"Okay!" Lin Yue nodded and took Lin Heng to the woods to the west of the village.

Mushrooms don't grow here much, so there are few people here.

“Delicious porcini!”

Just now in the forest, Lin Heng found two delicious porcini mushrooms next to a pyracantha tree.

It has just grown up and is about the size of a fist. The cap is cinnamon-colored and has depressions on it. The gills are white and the stipe is very thick with light brown netting on it.

This fungus is so iconic that it looks like the mushroom house where the dwarfs live in a fairy tale.

Of course, the taste is also first-class delicious, second only to Mian Teqing.

But they have young people here, and they have relatively little food.

"This fungus has appeared in the past two days. It's a bit early this year."

Lin Yue nodded and said.

"Yes, I'll go into the woods and have a look, Zou Xiongba."

Lin Heng nodded and led Xiong Ba into the forest.

"Woof woof!!"

Xiongba screamed twice in excitement, ran forward, stopped in front of a delicious porcini, and touched it with his paws.

Lin Heng walked over and picked it up, and it immediately ran forward, stopped in front of the next porcini, and patted it twice with the dog's paw: "Woof woof!"

"Damn it, you're calling a dog, right?!" Lin Heng scolded with a smile, walked over and asked the mushroom to pick it up.

"Woof woof!!"

After picking up the porcini mushrooms, Xiong Ba ran into the forest and walked around twice before calling Lin Heng again.

Lin Heng came over and took a look, and suddenly showed an expression of joy: "It turned out to be green-headed fungus!"
