portable space

The village has a small population, but it occupies quite a lot of land. The main reason is that the houses in the village are built irregularly, with one house here and one house there, which is not concentrated enough. When you cross the stone arch bridge over the river to the other side, the first house next to the bridge is.

"Is Uncle Qian at home?" Zhang Taiping called at the door first.

Wuwu...Zhang Taiping was first greeted by the whine of a dog. He remembered that old man Qian had a black dog in his house, which was blind in one eye. Although this dog was not a mountain guard dog, there must be a mountain guard dog.

His bloodline is extremely ferocious. When other dogs see it, they can only tuck their tails and run away.

Moreover, this guy never barks loudly, and he is a master of laying eggs. The so-called barking dog does not bite, and the biting dog does not bark. This kind of dog is the most terrifying, and will bite people when they are not prepared.

.If you rush into the yard without asking the owner to come out first, you are likely to be greeted by a dog mouth.

Although Zhang Taiping is not afraid of a dog yet, he is here to borrow something today, not to provoke. He can't just kick it away, right? So he still wants to say something first.

When Old Man Qian heard the sound, he opened the curtain and came out of the house. When he saw it was Zhang Taiping, he said kindly: "It's the handsome man, come in quickly."

Dashuai Zhang has a bad reputation, but there is nothing sordid between him and Old Man Qian, and there is also a master-disciple relationship. Therefore, Old Man Qian does not have the same prejudice and dislike towards Zhang Taiping as the villagers do.

The big dog Heizi stopped making any sound when he saw his owner. He lay lazily on the ground and closed his eyes. This dog has been around since Zhang Taiping learned carpentry here. He is still alive after all these years. He is probably not very old.

Smaller.

When Zhang Taiping entered the house, he realized that he had arrived at the wrong time. The family was having dinner. Mr. Qian and his wife got up and gave Zhang Taiping a stool, but Zhang Taiping did not sit down.

Zhang Taiping made a gesture and walked out. Old Qian followed and asked, "Commander, what's the matter with you today? Tell me."

"The main reason I came here today is to see if you have putty for painting the walls. I want to repaint the house. I want to go to the mountains with my friends in a few days. I stopped by to ask for advice on things to pay attention to and things to prepare when going into the mountains.

." Zhang Taiping took out a cigarette and handed it to Old Man Qian and said.

"I can't get used to smoking paper cigarettes, so you can smoke it." He lit a dry cigarette and said, "The putty guy who painted the wall has Qian Wang, and I'll ask him to get it for you later."

Qian Wang is the son of old man Qian. He is a craftsman (wall builder) and works with a contractor in Fengyukou Village. He is the same as the migrant workers recently circulated on the Internet, except that one is in the city and the other is in the countryside.

.At eighty or ninety a day, without spending money on food and accommodation, I can earn more than two thousand and nearly three thousand by the end of the month.

"What are you going to do when you go into the mountains? You must know that the forest management in the mountains has been very strict in recent years, and hunting is not allowed."

Zhang Taiping smiled and replied: "Haha, uncle, I misunderstood. I didn't go into the mountains for hunting. I just brought the dogs to the mountains with a few friends from the city to familiarize them with the wild environment."

"It's not that we don't allow hunting, it's mainly because we're afraid of indiscriminate killing." Old Man Qian said as he puffed out his smoke.

"I can guarantee this. As long as rare animals don't take the initiative to hurt people, we will not take the initiative to hurt those animals." Zhang Taiping said firmly.

"That's good. Then I'll tell you about the skills in the mountains." He opened his mouth but didn't know where to start. "I can't talk much in a while, so I'll go with you then. You go back.

Just prepare something for self-defense, and it would be best to prepare some realgar."

Zhang Taiping thought that it would be safer to have an old hunter as the team leader, so he agreed: "Okay, I'll call you when the time comes. Then I'll leave first."

"Qian Wang, please take out the putty for the wall." Old Qian shouted into the room.

After a while, Qian Wang came out with the putty and handed it to Zhang Taiping. Zhang Taiping thanked him and left.

When I got home, I bought some white powder for painting the walls.

First move everything out of the house, use a broom to sweep away the black mold powder and hanging cobwebs on the walls. Soak the white powder in a basin to form a paste. When it is soaked thoroughly, dip it in putty and then apply it on the wall.

By scrolling back, you can paint the wall a layer of white. Painting the dark brown areas a few more times can cover them up. After painting is finished, the surrounding walls will look brand new, and the bright white light will make people feel brighter and cheerful.

It looks like a dilapidated mountain temple that no one cared about before.

Considering that there may be many opportunities to use guest rooms in the future, I painted the north and south wings together.

Cai Yazhi cleaned the things in the yard and put them back into the house. In fact, no one has lived there for so many years, and there is no furniture in it. There are only three big pieces in it. A cabinet, a small square table, and a wooden table stand at the door.

The washstand on the side.

Clean it and open the windows to speed up the air circulation inside. The newly painted white on the walls will quickly condense and diffuse most of the odor.

When the smell of freshly painted white powder in the air was no longer so obvious and stinging, he put quilts on the kang. Zhang Taiping looked at the tidied guest room and thought it was too simple and monotonous, so he prepared to add some green to the room.

There is no flowerpot, but a living person cannot suffocate to death. Zhang Taiping found a few pieces of wood, processed it on a planer, took it out, and then used a knife to correct it and punch holes in the middle. A simple and natural wooden vase was created.

Out.

Putting a few bouquets of flowers in the room immediately changed the feeling, giving people a warm feeling. Yes, it was warm. Previously, it seemed empty due to the lack of furniture. Although the light was bright, it had a deserted feeling. Put a bouquet

Flowers and natural vitality dispel the deserted atmosphere.

Just like how quiet it is in summer, it will only make people feel quiet, but not deserted. This is because trees are full of vitality in summer and are growing upwards, which cannot create a deserted environment. In late autumn, once the trees

Withered yellow leaves, falling leaves, and quiet places are always accompanied by desolation and coldness. This is because there is no vitality and no upward momentum and gradually falls into silence, and a desolate atmosphere will naturally pervade.

The environment always changes mood with the change of vitality.

After tidying up the guest room, Zhang Taiping was free again. There was no farmer to take care of during this season. The winter wheat had just emerged, so there was no need for weeding or fertilizing. That would all happen next spring.

So in the remaining two days, Zhang Taiping spent time in the orchard cooking fruit trees and strawberries.

It is still too early to apply winter fertilizer to fruit trees, but they can be pruned. The main purpose of pruning fruit trees is to cut off the branches, concentrate nutrients, and facilitate the growth of the fruit trees in the next year. Especially dwarf grape trees need to be pruned every year, otherwise they will not be able to survive the next year.

You can't see a good bunch of grapes on the grapes. They look like spiders pulling eggs. They have length but no weight and quality.

Winter fertilizer can only be applied after fruit trees are pruned. If winter fertilizer is applied before the trees are ready, the fertilizer will be wasted on the growth of old branches, resulting in insufficient storage and affecting the growth and germination of the next spring. If pruned properly, the fertilizer will not be applied properly.

In time, after a winter of accumulation, the vegetables will have a vigorous growth period in the spring, and the new shoots will be vigorous and strong. The explosive power of stamina will also be full.

He was not allowed to leave pruning of fruit trees until he returned from the mountains, so he did not rush to work in the past two days. Instead, he pruned a little when he saw the shape of the tree he was interested in. He mainly focused on the strawberries.

The strawberries that were planted not long ago bloomed.

A patch of white flowers under the vines are spread all over the ground. Strawberries usually bloom in April in the Gregorian calendar and can be on the market in early May. Although blooming in this season is not common, there are precedents, so there is nothing to be afraid of or need.

To cover it up, Zhang Taiping combed the strawberry vines carefully to facilitate flowering, bees collecting nectar, and watering.

During this period, I found some time to find Wang Peng. I didn’t call him last time when I went into the mountain. After I found out about it, I muttered for a long time and repeatedly emphasized that I must call him the next time I went into the mountain. So I came to say something to him this time.

When I came to Wang Peng's yard, this guy was chopping firewood. The Queen Mother was also in the yard, but the man who was about forty years old looked as old as sixty years old. He didn't look good when he saw Zhang Taiping. These bad habits of Wang Peng are all

Having studied with Dashuai Zhang, it is understandable that the Queen Mother hates Dashuai Zhang for bringing up her son.

But she also knew that Wang Peng only had a friend like Dashuai Zhang, so it was impossible for him to keep his son away from Dashuai Zhang. If he couldn’t be useful, he wouldn’t be useful. With his brain like this, how could he be expected to be useful? As long as he could be safe frequently.

.Therefore, although he was resentful towards Marshal Zhang and had a bad look on his face, he did not prohibit them from interacting with each other.

Zhang Taiping also saw the Queen Mother's displeased expression, so he didn't step forward to ask for trouble. He pulled Wang Peng outside the courtyard and said.

"Haven't you been clamoring to go into the mountains? In two days, a few friends and I are going to go into the mountains. Will you go?"

Before Zhang Taiping finished speaking, Wang Peng couldn't wait to reply: "Go, why not go? I have long wanted to go into the mountains. When will we set off?"

"On the seventeenth, which is the tenth day of the lunar month, my friend is here and we are going together."

"Can you really meet a black blind man when you go into the mountains?" Wang Peng asked a little excitedly.

"It depends on luck. If it's good, you won't encounter it, but if it's bad, you will."

Wang Peng has a different view: "If you ask me, if you are lucky, you will encounter them, but if you are not, you will not encounter them. If you are lucky, if you encounter them and slaughter them, can't you still sell bear paws and bear bile for money?"

"It's better not to encounter them. Although there are many people, you are not afraid, but the black blind man is not a vegetarian when he goes crazy. If he gets slapped by that thick bear paw, his bones will fall apart. This kind of money may also have a destiny.

It’s a waste of money.” Zhang Taiping patted Wang Peng on the head and said calmly.

"Hey, I listen to big brother." Wang Peng said with a silly smile.

"Well, those of you who have prepared some self-defense these two days will come to my house early in the morning on the tenth day of the lunar month to gather. Don't wait until it's late. Don't tell me that I didn't call you when I went into the mountain." Zhang Taiping said seriously.

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, I'll be there on time." Wang Peng promised, patting his chest.

Zhang Taiping nodded: "That's good. For that matter, I'll leave first, and you should prepare well these two days." After saying that, he turned around and left.
