My 1995 Small Farm

Chapter 268: Badger child in earthen shed

The reason why    is different is not only because after the heavy rain, garlic and the others reappeared for unknown reasons, causing many people to watch.

   is also related to two special plants discovered by Professor Han in Chen Ling's farm.

"I really can't think of it. I came here this time, and I was pleasantly surprised. I even discovered two plant species that I have never seen before. You don't even need to mention the giant tortoise. These two gadgets alone can be counted as this. My biggest expedition in more than a decade has found it."

  Han Ninggui and others finished shooting the old turtles with garlic and went back to the farm. They accidentally found a few bonsai trees that Chen Ling had placed outside, and were greatly surprised.

   A plant similar to banana leaves that repels mosquitoes.

  The other is the "sugar pickled" wild fruit that Chen Ling brought back from the mountains. It is the kind of wild fruit that can get drunk if you eat too much. He has been planting it in flower pots before.

  These two things grow slowly and look good, so they are suitable for bonsai plants to keep and play.

   "Where did you get all this, rich?"

   "This one came back from hunting in the mountains in the late autumn of last year. But where it is, I haven't been going to the mountains for a long time, so I can't remember it."

  Chen Ling shook his head.

   Anyway, no matter what the old man asked him, he always asked three questions.

   Research as much as you want. I am very happy to make some contribution to our national animal and plant research.

   But to get to the bottom of it, then I, a rural youth in the countryside, must have limited knowledge and not much knowledge.

   In short, one is from the cave, and the other is from the outside world. It’s true or false. If you want to find it, you can find it yourself.

   "Can't remember a single place?"

  Han Ninggui didn't doubt it, just felt it was a pity.

   "I really can't remember."

   "This one looks like a banana leaf. I just took a look at it and thought it looked good, but I didn't think about anything else, so I dug it back."

"As for this little tree, I found out that its fruit can make people drunk, like drinking too much wine. I thought, hey, this fruit is quite magical and interesting, so I picked more fruit. After I came back and finished eating, I planted the rest of the seeds in flower pots, and it has grown like this this year."

   Chen Ling said these words, in addition to Wang Susu, even Wang Cunye and his wife looked over in surprise.

   "What? Can you get drunk after eating this wild fruit?"

   Zhao Dahai and Lynx came directly to him.

   Originally, I thought it was just that Professor Han discovered some strange plants, but I didn’t expect it to be so fun and intoxicating?

"Yeah, it's not just people, dogs can get drunk when they eat it. I knew this at first, when I was hunting, I led Heiwa to pick up firewood in the mountains. Heiwa smelled the fruit and ran under the trees. , I ate a lot with my greedy mouth, and then I got drunk."

  Chen Ling said with a smile, "I thought it was poisoned at the time, and I was shocked."

   "Afterwards, I asked the people who went into the mountains in our village. They said they didn't know what it was called, but the older generation had eaten it and named it Tangpaozi."

   "Sugar Paozi?" After hearing the name, everyone was very puzzled.

   Lynx also turned around and asked Wang Cunye: "Uncle Wang, do you have this kind of thing there?"

   "No, I've never heard of wild fruit that can make people drunk." Wang Cunye shook his head.

  Han Ninggui listened to everyone's discussion, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "According to Fugui's description, I think of a kind of Jiangnan fruit called li (zui with 'drunk') Li, I don't know if you have heard of it?"

  …Oi Lee?

   Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and they all shook their heads and said they had never heard of it.

   "Dui Li, also called Zui Li, the drunken one who gets drunk means the plum that can make people drunk."

After Han Ninggui finished speaking, he smiled slightly: "This drunk Li is also very interesting, there is a saying called Xi Shi drunk Li Nostalgia, it says that Xi Shi returned to his hometown, ate plums from his hometown, and fell drunk in Li because it was too sweet. Garden. Later, people only knew that Drunk Li tasted good, but they didn’t know that Xi Shi just wanted to be drunk in Li Garden and didn’t want to go back to Wu State…”

   "My dear, is there really such a fruit? Did you get drunk on Xi Shi?"

   When everyone heard it, they were all surprised, this fruit actually has something to do with Xi Shi?

   "I don't know if it is the same kind of fruit. If there are drunk plums, they should not be found in Qinling Mountains. They should be distributed in Jiangnan, but those drunk plums in Jiangnan did not make people drunk."

Han Ninggui pondered for a while, "But I've heard of some foreign fruits that have this characteristic. For example, there is a fruit in Africa, which is comparable to spirits. Elephants will get drunk if they eat too much. The reason is that this fruit contains extremely high sugar content. High, once eaten into the stomach, it will ferment and produce alcohol, which will make you drunk.”

   "It does have some similarities with your very sweet 'sugar bubbles'."

   When it comes to this kind of professional stuff, everyone doesn’t understand it.

   But I was a little surprised to hear the fruit that can make an elephant drunk.

   talked about it for a while.

   mainly means what can be done with this kind of fruit found on Chen Ling's side.

   Brewing? Do some special preserved fruit, canned food? Or as a seasoning or medicinal herb?

   After talking about it, I found out that there are only a few small bonsai trees, and I haven’t even seen the fruit. What’s the point of talking about it.

   immediately attacked Chen Ling and asked him why he only planted in flowerpots and not two trees outside?

   "If you want me to see, even if wealth is planted outside, it won't produce fruit this year. It's better to dig a tree and plant it at that time. In that case, we won't just sit here and think out of thin air."

   "Hey, don't say it, I'm drooling just thinking about it, sweet fruit, you can get drunk after eating it, hehehe."

   "Come on, I was hunting at that time, and the prey hadn't been caught yet, so how could I dig trees everywhere, so what am I doing?"

  Chen Ling smacking his lips, although he said that, in fact, there are caves in the sky, you can eat it if you want, and if you want to make some fruit wine, you can brew it casually.

   Then I told everyone that if they liked it, each of them would bring a pot back to raise it by themselves, plant them by themselves, and eat them when they bear fruit.

   But everyone thinks that this tree is very rare, for fear of bringing it back and dying, it would be a pity, let it grow well in a flowerpot.

   "What about the one that looks like a banana leaf? Apart from flowering, when you saw it in the mountains, did it bear fruit?"

   After talking about this, Han Ninggui asked another one.

   "It turned out to be a kind of fruit with pimples and thorns, round and round."

  Chen Ling tells the truth.

   But if you ask again, he won't know anything else.

  Han Ninggui expressed regret.

   Then he cautiously asked Chen Ling: "After a while, maybe a month or so, I want to bring an old friend over to have a look. I don't know if it's okay?"

   Now they are familiar with each other, but he has been living in the farm for two days, but he heard that even many leaders came over, and Chen Ling did not entertain them, just selling wine.

   "Yes, Uncle Han, you can come if you want. That's right, my baby is still young. If you want to enter the mountain, we can't accompany you."

   "Of course, if you go close, you can come back in half a day. If you go far, you have to spend the night in the mountains. You can find someone to accompany you in the village, but we can't go."

  Chen Ling has no opinion on whether or not people come to the farm, as long as it is not the kind of ignorant and random requests.

   It’s been a long time since he was free, and he didn’t think it was a bad thing to have a little bit of fun.

   So I explained my situation to the old man in advance.

   "Haha, I understand, don't worry."

   "Besides, after all, these two strange plants were discovered from your side. If they are beneficial, they will not forget you."

  Han Ninggui said with a smile, he admired Chen Ling very much.

   Not only his temper, but also his performance in the mountains and the things he raised on the farm made him, a professor, have to admire.

   Especially thought of those fighting fish that Chen Ling raised, and some old friends who had been clamoring to come over last year because of two red eels.

   He thought that he might be able to give Chen Ling a surprise.

   also give young people an encouragement.

  …

"Your place is really a treasure of Feng Shui, especially your farm. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the four seasons of the year are beautiful, and the scenery is beautiful. Not only do people live comfortably, but the birds and fish are all watching from other places. It's like a little more spirit."

  The first sunny day after the rain, just like in the past, the sheep and cattle are as usual, and the dogs are driven to drive away the little beasts that have broken into the fruit forest.

   But today, there are more Professor Han and others, walking back and forth in the woods behind Chen Lingweng's two sons-in-law.

   Came here, waited for three days, and finally came into contact with the giant turtle at close range, and took a clear photo, and also had an unexpected harvest at the farm. Professor Han was satisfied, and hummed a little song while walking.

   "Teacher, look, here in Fugui, not only are birds more beautiful than other places, but there are also many species."

   "Yeah, I've noticed it in the past two days. It seems that the migratory birds that should be flying south have stopped here and gathered together. This means that this is a good place."

   These birds have many kinds and numbers. They are really a crowded group, and the least group has forty or fifty birds.

   Not to mention special and rare birds.

  The common magpies and turtledoves can all fall on the trees, especially when the magpies come out of their nests in the morning and night, they crowd into a pile of cha cha cha cha.

   When the magpie chirped, other birds also chirped, and the fruit forest was full of birds singing every day, making it extremely noisy.

  If the area of ​​the orchard is not large enough, and the farm is guarded by harriers and weasels, these birds would not dare to get too close to the farm.

  The sound of this bird alone can make people sleep well in the early morning.

   "Look, just talking about this turtledove, there are three types: gray turtledove, mountain turtledove, and bead-necked turtledove..."

  Professor Han said, his eyes suddenly stopped, "Huh? Those are just, my good fellow, they are fire turtledoves. In this small orchard, all four kinds of turtledoves are here."

   The old man opened his mouth slightly, and even he couldn't help being surprised.

  The fire turtledove, also known as the red turtledove, is much smaller than the other three types of turtledoves.

   It can be said that among the four types of turtledoves, the fire turtledove is the smallest.

   But it is just like its name, the body is fiery red, especially the fiery red on the chest and wings.

  If you catch one and look closely, you will find that it even has red claws.

   And the older you get, the darker the color, and the wings are spread out, which is very beautiful.

   So according to these characteristics, people call it fire turtledove, red turtledove.

   In fact, it is common for different species of turtledoves to mix together.

   But all four appear together, which is a bit hard to see.

   Zhao Dahai saw so many groups of turtledoves, and regardless of whether they were beautiful or not, he couldn't stop swallowing: "Fugui, I'll get us a slingshot, let's catch a few turtledoves, and eat them at noon."

  Han Ninggui turned around and gave him a resounding slap on the back, "I know how to eat it. It's more than 200 catties, and it will turn into a pig."

   He has friendships with Bobcats and Zhao Dahai, and both of them have to call him uncle.

  Seeing Zhao Dahai laughing, he thought for a while, and said, "Don't just shoot turtledoves, but also a few other birds. Stew mountain birds in the afternoon, stir-fry mountain birds, and have a mountain bird pot."

   Chen Ling gave a thumbs up when he heard it: "Ginger is still old and spicy, Uncle Han can eat it."

   Then we will go back to the farm to get the slingshot.

   Lynx said: "What slingshot do you use to call out the second bald man, swish swish, go back and forth a few times, won't there be lunch in the afternoon?"

   For Er Baldy, just catching a few birds is really a piece of cake.

   This is the right person.

  Chen Ling immediately whistled and called out the second bald man.

  I saw the second bald man flying here, and the birds hidden in the woods of that guy instantly sensed the danger, and flew everywhere, only the turtledoves were still wandering back and forth on the ridge in the distance.

   Silly Turtledove, Silly Turtledove, this thing is two beats slower than other birds.

   In the end, when the second bald man came in an air strike, the black shadow swept across the top of their heads, and several of them died in a hurry.

  Er Baldy is more powerful than other Harriers here.

  The other harriers can kill their prey with one blow, and it is not bad to kill one.

   But Erbald can kill two or three in a row at a time.

   And the speed is extremely fast, and ordinary people cannot see its shadow with the naked eye.

   As soon as it was dispatched, mountain birds such as turtledoves and **** soon filled a row in front of Chen Ling.

"Not bad."

  Chen Ling praised again and again after seeing this.

  Heiwa was unwilling to be lonely, and took the little yellow dog into the lush sunflower bushes, and came back with two hares.

   After being petted by Chen Ling twice, he barked and barked in front of Xiao Jin and Er Bald, making everyone laugh, thinking that this dog is still competing for favor, which is really interesting.

   "You worthless fool, if you eat more fat, you won't be able to go into the mountains in the future."

  Chen Ling kicked it, strung the mountain birds on the ground, lifted the rabbit, and returned to the farm with the others to clean up.

   At noon, there was a mountain bird mushroom pot, and two hares were roasted at night.

  The next day, the old turtle did not appear in the reservoir again, and Professor Han and others did not stay for a few more days, and left on the same day.

   Just told Chen Ling before he left that he would bring people over again in about half a month or a month.

  …

  Han Ninggui and Zhao Dahai had just left when Wang Lixian came to the farm and called him.

   "Is the rich at home?"

   "At home, what's wrong with Brother Xian?" Chen Ling poked his head upstairs, he was writing a reply to his pen pal.

   "Hurry up and bring two dogs and come with me. My house has been parked for a while and no one will go. Badgers are making trouble. The earth wall is about to be dug down by the dog." Wang Lixian said depressedly.

   "What's the matter? Badger? Don't you have nothing to grow in your shed? The plastic sheets have been removed, so why are there badgers digging in?" Wang Cunye also came out and asked.

   "Who knows, there's nothing for it to eat, so I made a hole in my shed. Uncle, you said it's annoying or not."

  Wang Lixian was very distressed.

   "Heiwa, take your little brother and come with me."

  Chen Ling went downstairs, and when he heard this, he called Heiwa over, led the little yellow dog, and walked out with Wang Lixian.

   While walking towards the village, Wang Lixian talked about the situation.

This year, his family relied on the soil greenhouse to grow vegetables, and it can be considered to make some money. He gets up early every day to sell in the morning market in the county town. Although he does not earn much, it is much easier than on the construction site. .

   So we built a new one along with the original greenhouse, and the two were lined up side by side.

  Before Chen Ling was busy setting up the full moon wine, he was tinkering with his brothers.

   Prepare to start growing vegetables and mushrooms this fall.

Then it was too hot this summer, so I stopped going for a while. It was autumn, and I planned to go there to clean up. I didn't expect that as soon as the door was opened, there would be dirt on the shed falling down, and it was about to collapse. similar.

   Take a look inside, good guy, behind the earth wall, a big hole was dug for something, leading directly to the valley of someone else's house to the east.

The opening of the    hole is also large, almost comparable to a washbasin. It must not be made by ordinary wild things.

  Walked twice to the surrounding grass, and found many dry feces, rough hairs, and shallow paw prints.

  Wang Lixian took a look and didn't need to guess any more, this **** must have caused a badger. Outside, he made such a big hole in the roots of the earthen wall that was attached to the greenhouse, and he didn't know how deep it was inside.

   When the farm was not built last year, Chen Ling caught a badger in the summer.

  The holes dug by that guy are all over the place, extending in all directions under the ground, and Xiao Jin loses his temper when he sees it.

  If there is a badger in someone's field, or the vegetable cellar at home, don't be careless.

   must be driven away as soon as possible.

  Otherwise, let them dig holes in the ground to make their nests. After a long time, let alone the vegetable cellar, the house can collapse for you.

   "My family's tiger stripes are out of use this year. They are eight years old. They used to follow them into the mountains. They are old dogs. They are still injured.

  Wang Lixian sighed, his own dog is not good, instead of looking for other dogs in the village, it is better to come to Chen Ling and bring Heiwa Xiaojin.
