Chapter 508 Entering the Mountain 1
Smelling the tangy aroma, I watched my precious grandson spread sauce and chopped green onions on the pancakes. The bits with a bit of sour aroma, no need to guess, they were sour bamboo shoots pickled at home, sitting there.
Mrs. Li Su at the table was filled with joy.
Although her wife, son and daughter-in-law all left early, having such a sensible and filial grandson is enough to make Mrs. Li Su feel comforted and proud.
For Li Anran, being able to watch such an elder sitting in front of him, eating food cooked by himself, even if it is not very delicious due to the ingredients, even if the other person has no blood relationship with him,
But I can still feel the warm feeling that I haven't experienced for a long time since my grandfather Li Guizhen passed away.
"Xiao'er, don't sit here stupidly. If you have nothing to do, go out and relax. Don't always stay at home and do things." After finishing a pancake and drinking half a bowl of soup, Li Sushi also liked this very much.
atmosphere, but still spoke.
Li Anran originally wanted to find an opportunity to go into the mountains to improve the family's food. After hearing this, he naturally would not refuse, so he smiled and responded: "My grandson listens to my grandmother, but what's the matter?"
We must wait until our grandson comes back to do anything."
"Okay, okay, grandma, listen to your grandson. Go and remember not to run into the mountains. I heard that there is a wild boar in the nearby village, which has destroyed a lot of food. The government is already preparing to send people to hunt." He nodded with a smile.
Mr. Li Su, I didn’t forget to give you another reminder.
"Wild boar?" Li Anran, who was originally thinking about what better prey he could get this time when he went into the mountains, suddenly felt as if he had fallen asleep and someone had sent him a pillow in a hurry. However, on the surface
She still answered obediently: "Grandma, don't worry, your grandson knows the importance."
If this were a child from another family, the adult would probably not be relieved even if he said this. But Li Lingxiao had been obedient since he was a child and knew the importance of doing things. Mrs. Li Su was still very relieved about her precious grandson.
Now that he decided to go into the mountains, Li Anran, considering that some things cannot be conjured out of thin air, conveniently carried the big bamboo basket used for picking mushrooms, wild vegetables, and fruits on his back, and also gave him a sickle from home.
Pin it to your waist.
With such a set of equipment, when Li Anran appears on the path into the mountain and occasionally meets villagers, he saves the trouble of explaining why he wants to go into the mountain.
Li Anran was not in a hurry to go hunting. He was walking on the rugged mountain road, breathing in the fresh air filled with the fragrance of soil and vegetation, and admiring the scenery that, although not very beautiful, was better than nature. His whole body suddenly felt...
There is a feeling of letting go of the shackles and being at ease.
While walking, Li Anran did not forget to use his spiritual thoughts to search for things of value to his current home.
I have to admit that even now in 639 AD, which is the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, the natural environment of the Tang Dynasty is still well preserved. Even in the peripheral areas near the village, some easily found wild resources have been harvested.
. But along the way, Li Anran still discovered many valuable things, such as wild herbs.
However, although herbal medicine does have some value, it must be divided into types and at the same time there must be a sufficient quantity. Otherwise, the value of one or two plants is limited compared to the time and energy spent.
Say, it's not cost-effective at all.
Fortunately, after Li Anran went deep into the mountains, there were immediately more wild resources in his sight.
The vigilant beasts foraging in the grass, golden pheasants, poisonous snakes resting in hiding places, hedgehogs and other nocturnal animals, as well as the berries, edible fungi, etc. hidden in the bushes, are all under Li Anran's imagination.
It was clearly detected in my mind.
Recalling that my grandmother liked the mushrooms in the chicken stewed mushrooms and the juice she made last night, Li Anran was naturally not polite. Common edible mushrooms such as oyster mushrooms, mushrooms, and gray mushrooms were not available.
After a while, I picked a lot.
At the same time, he also picked out some of the wild fruits that were growing in the wild and were just ripe at this time, and made a batch of each kind. Then he used his spiritual thoughts to process them into natural and pure juice, and harvested them.
It went into the green leather gourd that I carried with me.
If he came across hares and pheasants who went out without looking at the almanac, Li Anran would naturally not miss them. However, he did not act randomly, but followed the hunting principle of "hunting the old but not the young, and hunting the males but not the females."
Succeed.
Considering that too much quantity can easily attract unnecessary attention, most of the harvest, including those wild fruits, edible fungi, medicinal materials, etc., were sent to his mental space by Li Anran, with only a small part remaining.
The large bamboo basket behind contained a litter of little rabbits that were obviously just born.
Li Anran went out of his way to dig out someone else's nest. Naturally, Li Anran didn't do it for food or for some bad fun. Instead, he remembered that except for a few old hens and old ducks specially used for laying eggs, he didn't even have any decent livestock.
I plan to use this nest of hares to add income to my family.
Of course, with Li Anran's current ability, it is not difficult to make Li Lingxiao's family rich overnight. However, this would make this rebirth completely meaningless.
As for why we chose to raise hare instead of other projects, the main reason is because it does not attract too much attention and is easy to raise. You only need to feed it with grass every day and occasionally get some oats to improve the food.
As long as the disease and site problems can be solved, to a certain extent, raising rabbits is much easier than raising chickens. These problems may be more troublesome for others, but in Li Anran's view, it is really
It couldn't be simpler.
At the same time, rabbits, especially hares, reproduce at an alarmingly fast rate. Although rabbits are not like chickens and ducks, they can lay one egg every day at most, but they also have the "little rabbits and little doves, one nest per month"
." folk proverb.
A pair of adult rabbits can give birth to a litter of offspring almost every month, and the number of each litter is not small. Each litter can have as few as three or four, as many as five or six. Over the course of a year, the number of offspring is
A pair of rabbits can give birth to dozens of litters.
If we include the second generation of rabbits that can continue to give birth to litters after they reach adulthood, and each generation is superimposed on each other, the number of rabbits reproduced in a year will be so large that it will make people speechless.
The most important thing is that rabbits are not only edible meat, but rabbit skins are also a good input.
Even though the price of this kind of skin cannot be compared with fox skin, wolf skin, let alone bear skin, tiger skin and other expensive skins, civilianization also has the benefits of civilianization. With a vast consumer group of ordinary people, we are still afraid of it.
There is no money to be made.
Moreover, Li Anran also plans to crossbreed some new breeds with local hares at the appropriate opportunity, and try to breed rabbits that can be used for both skin and meat. Of course, these are just plans, as long as they do not affect the life he wants to live.
.
While Li Anran was harvesting various gifts from nature, he allowed himself to wander aimlessly deep into the mountains and forests, and unknowingly came to a small water curtain waterfall.
"It's a pity. If we had to rush back at noon, it would be so beautiful to light a bonfire here and enjoy a delicious lunch from nature." Watching the clear stream flying from the top of the waterfall
After falling down, Li Anran said to himself with a regretful expression.
Fortunately, you can't enjoy a picnic here, but there are other ways to spend time.
No, after Li Anran scanned the small pool under the waterfall and found that there was no danger, he directly placed the bamboo basket on the big stone by the stream, and stripped himself down to only the strips
Underwear, and then plunged into the water with a sudden movement.
"Haha! It feels so good!!"
After letting his body get used to the cold stream water, Li Anran emerged from the water. After sighing, he plunged in again, because he had just found several wild fat pigs of sizable size below.
fish.
In order to experience the fun of fishing in the water, Li Anran did not use his spiritual thoughts to cheat. Although he had been busy for a while and still found nothing, he was really in a happy mood.
