Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

"This is also simple. Just wait until all are cut open and taste them." Lin Heng said with a smile.

He used a knife to scrape off the mold on the surface bit by bit, and soon a trimmed ham appeared in front of everyone, with a rich meaty aroma emanating from it. The ham was fully cooked.

After the repair, Lin Heng directly cut off six slices of ham and handed them to Xiulan: "Wife, go and fry it, and then we will taste it and see how it tastes."

"Okay." Xiulan nodded and took the ham into the house and fried it on the electric stove in a frying pan.

Lin Heng continued to trim another ham. After the mold was removed, the skin had to be scrubbed before it could be cut and separated.

"It's done, try it."

Lin Heng had just finished repairing the second ham, and Xiulan came over with the fried ham. The rich meaty aroma made people unable to stop.

Everyone took a small piece and put it in their mouths.

Lin Heng chewed it and nodded with satisfaction. After two years of pickling, the ham had removed the wild boar's fishy smell and no other strange smell. It tasted salty and had a pure meaty aroma, as well as a hint of the special taste of wild boar.

"Okay, this ham is delicious." Lin's mother nodded and commented, Xiulan and Lin's father also nodded. This ham is really good.

"I want to eat more!" Xiaoxia fixed her eyes on the plate, but there was no more in it.

"There will be some in the evening." Xiulan looked at her and said, then she and her mother took two hams into the house to boil hot water to wash them.

Lin Heng and his father opened the freezer and checked what was inside. It was mainly old book pork, but there were still some others.

The two weighed the meat they took out. There were more than 60 kilograms of pork that could be used for bacon, 30 kilograms of pork ribs and pork legs, 30 kilograms of braised pig head meat, more than 30 kilograms of beef tripe, and more than 10 kilograms of green shrimp.

In addition to these, there is a bear leg bone at the bottom of the freezer, about 20 kilograms, more than 30 kilograms of bear oil, more than 20 kilograms of wolf oil, a deer whip, a wolf whip, two stinky mandarin fish, some jams and meat sauces, a dozen portions of homemade beef hot pot base, and some spices and Chinese medicinal materials that are easy to breed insects.

There is nothing else. The wild game that was caught last year has long been eaten.

There are many things, but they don’t take up much space.

"Just leave the pork outside, right?" Lin's father looked at Lin Heng and answered.

"Leave the pork head outside, and forget about the pork leg. Eat it in two days." Lin Heng thought for a while and said.

They packed up the things in the freezer, and Xiulan and Lin's mother also cleaned the ham and brought it to Lin Heng.

"Give it to me."

Lin Heng took the ham to the kitchen and cut it with a knife, shaved off the bones, and divided the meat into small pieces. In addition to leaving enough for tonight, he also left some for his parents and eldest brother, and the rest was all put in the freezer.

Then Lin Heng took the ham to his eldest brother's house and invited them to dinner, but he failed.

His eldest brother was going to his father-in-law's house for dinner. He was now a big celebrity. His father-in-law Liu Qichang valued him much more than before, and asked him to come over for dinner as soon as he came back.

When he got home, Xiulan had already started cooking, and there were bursts of rich fragrance coming from the kitchen.

"Dad, I want to ride a bike again." Xiaoxia hugged him and said.

Lin Heng nodded and said, "Okay, put on your protective gear, and then we'll start."

Xiaoxia brought her set of protective gear, and after putting it on, she couldn't wait to ride a bike.

Lin Heng was pushing from behind, and she tried slowly in front. At the beginning, she couldn't ride at all, and she had to get off as soon as she got on.

But Lin Heng took it in his hand and rode it for a circle, and she chased after him and wanted to try it herself.

After a while, it was dark. After the beginning of winter, the days are getting shorter and shorter. It feels like it's night without doing anything.

"The meal is ready, prepare the dishes." Xiulan said as she walked out of the kitchen.

"Right away."

Lin Heng wiped the table. Today, since there were few people, he used the small square table at home, which was one meter long. The table was painted with lacquer, and it was red all over, and it felt smooth to the touch.

After the table was set, Lin Heng put away the toys for the children, took them to wash their hands, and waited for them to sit down at the table. The food was also served.

In the evening, Xiulan made six dishes and a soup. The main dishes were fried ham and cold pork head. The rest were shrimps and green vegetables, as well as shredded potatoes and fried fat with sour beans.

The soup was a simple green vegetable and egg soup, in which a lot of coriander was added.

The adults had to drink a few glasses of rice wine before eating. The three children sat in a row and scooped rice with spoons. If they asked for any dish, someone would pick it for them.

"This ham is really better than ordinary bacon. Why don't we kill the pig this year and make another one." Lin's mother said while eating the ham.

"Okay, I will have more experience if I make it again this year." Lin Heng took a bite of the ham and said while eating.

This ham is almost the same except that it is a little salty. As for the fact that ham is unhealthy, it doesn't matter. The sour jars they often eat are also unhealthy, but it doesn't prevent them from eating them every day.

A bite of ham and a bite of green vegetables is the most perfect, with moderate saltiness and delicious taste.

A sip of the slightly sweet rice wine makes the whole person feel comfortable.

After dinner, Lin's father and mother went back to Hongfeng Mountain together. Lin Heng and Xiulan cleaned up the dishes and washed the children's feet and hands, and then they went to bed after washing.

Tonight, Lin Heng changed a science fiction story collection to tell the children. The remaining three of the four great classics are not suitable for children to read.

Because they played like crazy all day long, they all fell asleep at night without finishing a story.

Lin Heng was not so sleepy, he took a book and leaned on the bed to read.

Xiulan finished cleaning and went to bed, leaning against Lin Heng and putting her head on his shoulder.

Lin Heng glanced at Xiulan and noticed that she had tied up her hair. He immediately lost interest in reading. He put the book down, turned off the light, and leaned over to hug Xiulan.

After half a month of absence, Xiulan missed him very much and hugged Lin Heng as soon as the lights went out.

The two parties had a deep soul-searching exchange, and it wasn't until midnight that they hugged each other and fell asleep.

In the blink of an eye, it was early the next morning. Xiulan opened her eyes and looked at Lin Heng, who was still resting. His profile was very contoured, and his arms and chest were unusually strong.

After looking at it, she leaned on his arm and rested silently with her little hands on his chest. Lin Heng's strong body gave her a great sense of security.

"You woke up so early!"

Lin Heng opened his eyes and was a little surprised to see that Xiulan had won. But when he thought about it carefully, he wasn't surprised anymore. Although they hadn't seen each other for half a month, they didn't work until they ran out of ammunition and food.

"I'm very sleepy!" Xiulan said with a smile.

Lin Heng looked at her pretty, rosy face, put his arms around her waist and put her on top of him.

"Alas!"

Xiulan groaned, then held Lin Heng's chest and looked down at him: "What do you want to do?"

"Why not, that's it." Lin Heng hugged her, and Xiulan had no choice but to put her head on Lin Heng's shoulder.

Hugging face to face like this, still without clothes, the two of them could clearly feel each other's heartbeat.

Lin Heng had no other intention, he just wanted to quietly feel the feeling of holding Xiulan completely in his arms. Only this hot and heavy feeling could make him feel an unprecedented satisfaction.

After staying like this for a while, Xiulan sat up holding his chest and said with a blushing face: "Get up, let's go see if my son wets the bed."

After saying that, she went to the side to find underwear, changed into clean and tidy clothes and got up.

Lin Heng also got up, looked at the children, and was relieved to find that they didn't wet the bed.

"It's good that you didn't wet the bed." Xiulan nodded. Then he woke up the children, put them in clothes and took them out to pee first.

They didn't cook at home this morning. After finishing their morning exercise, Lin Heng took the cows and walked to Hongfeng Mountain.

Xiulan took the children to Hongfeng Mountain with him and had breakfast here today.

"Grandma, are you ready for food? I'm hungry!"

As soon as she arrived at Hongfeng Mountain, Xiaoxia ran into the house and shouted.

"The eggs are cooked, and your grandpa is squeezing the milk." Mother Lin touched Xiaoxia's head and said.

"Then I'll eat the eggs first!" Xiaoxia felt so hungry and couldn't wait.

"You guys eat first, I'll put the cow in the pen." Lin Heng said while holding the old cow.

"Well, you go ahead." Xiulan nodded and pulled the child into the house.

Lin Heng led the cow up to the pen, where Lin's father was milking the cow.

"Do you want to continue breeding this old cow?" Father Lin asked as he looked at the cow he had brought.

Lin Heng thought for a while and said, "Let's breed them when they naturally come into heat."

If the cow is idle, it is idle. It is better to breed it and continue to produce, but there is no need to make it as tired as before.

He went down with the milk, heated it in the water bath and shared some of it with everyone.

After breakfast, Lin Heng and his father took the barbed wire to the first platform to repair the circle for Lin She.

Repairing the fold is very simple, just put the barbed wire around the original sheep pen and fix it with the wire.

They worked on this all morning, and it was not completed until 12 noon.

"Let's go directly and lock Lin She in. Today is a good day." Father Lin said, looking at the repaired pen.

"Okay, let's go pick persimmons in the afternoon when we're done." Lin Heng looked at his father and said.

He and Xiulan definitely couldn't pick persimmons, and they still had three children to take care of.

"Okay, let's all pick all the persimmons on the tree on the mountain together." Father Lin nodded and said.

They only have two persimmon trees in their home, and one was given to their eldest son. Now they only have one in their home, but they are both big trees.

After going to Linshe Circle, Lin Heng drove the big truck directly to Linshe Circle.

"Let's use a rope to tie Lin Musk's legs and throw them into the car, and pull them all up at once, so as not to catch them one by one slowly." Lin Heng looked at his father and said.

"It's that simple." Father Lin nodded.

The two found ropes and tied up all the forest musk deer in a short time. Lin Heng also took the opportunity to check the scent glands of the forest musk deer and determined that all four of them were producing musk.

The forest musk deer in their family are all prosperous. Except for one that died during childbirth, they have never had any other illnesses.

After putting Lin Shek into the truck bed, they loaded some more silage and hay, and then Lin Heng stepped on the accelerator and drove the car to the first platform.

They caught the forest musk deer and released them, and then gave them some fodder. The two of them observed for a while to make sure there was no problem before going to feed the cattle and sheep.

When they came home from the mountain after finishing their work, Mother Lin had already prepared breakfast. Lunch was just simple rice, fried shredded potatoes, and fried ham with sour beans.

Although simple, there is no doubt that it is delicious.

After finishing the meal, Lin Heng took a sip of tea and rested for a while. He then looked at the apples and the more than 300 kilograms of rice flower fish raised in the hatching pond.

"Let's go. After we pack up, we'll go pick persimmons." Lin Heng came over and said after reading.

"Everything is ready, let's go now." Lin's mother said.

Three backpacks plus two snakeskin bags were basically enough.

Lin Heng carried a backpack and led Xiaoxia and Xiulan to go first. Lin's mother and father each took a grandson to walk behind.

When passing by the bamboo forest, they cut two more bamboos to put on the clamp.

After a while, they walked to the hill behind the house and came to the persimmon tree.

"The persimmons are so abundant this year that the branches are bent." Xiulan smiled as she looked at the golden persimmons on the tree.

In this season, the leaves of the persimmon tree have almost fallen, leaving only the golden persimmons hanging on the branches.

"I like to eat persimmons!" Xiaoxia said with her two little hands raised.

"It's indeed abundant. When my parents come over, we will start picking them. I guess we can't pick them all at once today." Lin Heng nodded.

This persimmon tree is so thick that one person can hug it, and it is eight or nine meters high. It is not easy to pick.

Most fruit trees in the countryside are like this, left to grow and rarely pruned, so they are tall and big.

Lin Heng first picked two softer ones from the lower branches, sat down and broke them apart for the three of them.

The persimmons were still quite sandy inside, and tasted sweet and sticky, but the skin was inedible and astringent.

To make them into the kind of fire crystal persimmons that are completely soft and rotten inside, they have to be picked and left for half a month.

"It's so sweet!" Xiaoxia said happily, her ponytail swinging.

"Just eat this half, don't eat too much at one time." Xiulan wiped her mouth and said.

While waiting, Lin Heng looked around to find any traces of white rice. Every year when the persimmons are ripe, white rice will come.

After searching for a while and not finding anything, he went back to sit under the tree. He and Xiulan were both wearing relatively thin, tattered cotton jackets with many puddings on them today.

His is black, Xiulan's is red. The two of them exude a mountain atmosphere when they sit together. The only difference is that Xiulan is a little too fair, and Lin Heng is too tough.

Looking up, there are rolling red and yellow colors all around, and the red leaves and yellow leaves complement each other.

The weather is pretty good today. The sun is out at noon, making the red and yellow leaves look brighter. People are intoxicated and immersed in this beautiful scenery unconsciously.

The mountain breeze blows, bringing a hint of coolness. Lin Heng smiled and said, "It can be said that the forest is full of colors and the river is clear and blue."

"Come and pick it up, I can't hold it anymore." Lin's mother shouted not far away. Du Heng stopped walking halfway, so she could only hold him.

"Here!"

Lin Heng was no longer intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, and ran over to pick up his son.

"I can't take all the persimmons from this tree in one go. I have to run twice." Lin's father held Lu Ming and sighed as he looked at the persimmons on the tree. (End of this chapter)
