59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

Chapter 386 Harvest is coming

This grateful father and son, the old man is called Feng Yuanqing and the son is called Feng Cheng.

I also live in a village near Tanggu Town, not too far from Zhoujiagou.

"Big Pot, this car is so fun!"

Chen Li was very happy sitting on the ox cart and found it very interesting.

"Brother Feng, why didn't I see you guys using cows last time?"

The ox cart is not big and the ox's power is limited.

Chen Hao and Chen Li sat in the car, Feng Cheng drove the cattle, and the others walked.

"The ox cart was too slow last time. We should pull it faster." Feng Cheng said embarrassedly.

"Oh, that's right!"

Chen Feng looked at the ox cart which was moving at about the same speed as his walking and felt that it would be worse to walk.

He took out an unopened pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket and was about to give one to them when Chen Jianjun confiscated it.

"Do you guys smoke?"

He asked, pulling out his cigarette.

“Thank you!”*2.

Both father and son smoke.

"Cauldron, bird!"

When Chen Li saw the bird on the roadside, she immediately took out the slingshot in her pocket, took out small stone bullets from another pocket and shot them out, but the distance was more than ten meters and she couldn't hit the bird at all.

"Big pot, why don't we catch the bird first."

Chen Hao also felt that he could not miss this opportunity.

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "Of course not. It's past two o'clock now. If we are any slower, it will be dark by the time we get home."

"All right!"

Chen Hao also took out his slingshot and shot several times, but missed.

Zhang Haixiong was hypocritical and discriminated against the boys, only teaching Chen Li and Huo Ling how to use the skills.

Chen Li doesn’t know how to teach and she is still a little girl herself.

"Big Pot, how about you come?"

Chen Feng took out the slingshot given by Zhang Haixing and shot a stone at random.

"quack!"

A fat duck that was most likely released by Chen Feng and escaped to this side was hit accurately in the abdomen and lay motionless on the grass by the river.

"Hit!"

Chen Hao and Chen Li cheered in surprise.

Chen Hao, in particular, jumped down himself and ran over to pick up the wild ducks.

It was the first time that Chen Jianjun saw his son hunting with a slingshot. When he saw a wild duck killed by a stone more than ten meters away, he realized that he was really not as good as his son.

Feng Yuanqing and his son were quite shocked and very envious.

"Comrade Xiao Chen is really capable!" Lao Feng said with a smile, "This is better than fishing."

The waves in Bohai Sea are not as strong as those in East China Sea, but it is equally dangerous.

Chen Jianjun looked at the duck that Chen Hao picked up, took it and lifted it up, felt the weight, and felt that he could eat roast duck tonight.

"Didn't you catch it?"

Feng Cheng said embarrassedly: "We caught them, but we don't have such good skills as Brother Chen. We can only use fish and shrimp to lure the ducks and use a small trap to catch them."

"You are going into the city in an ox cart today. Are you selling ducks?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

"Big pot, over there, there's more over there."

Chen Feng continued to shoot and Chen Hao continued to pick up.

"Yes, our village caught more than a hundred of them in total. Except for those that laid eggs and were kept as livestock, we sold all the males in exchange for these coarse grains." Feng Cheng said, pointing to the sacks on the ox cart.

"What is the exchange ratio?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

"Not bad. One pound of meat can be exchanged for three pounds of grain. If it is two catties of flour or alternative grain, it can be exchanged for more." Feng Cheng was not on guard and said directly: "This month, our village has exchanged more than a thousand pounds of grain. When the wheat is ripe, everyone will have enough food."

Chen Jianjun looked towards the field.

After the spring rain in April, the winter wheat is growing well.

The passage of migratory birds allowed the original insect pests to be contained in time.

"It looks like we can have a good harvest this year."

"There was a major disaster last year, so we should have a good harvest this year, otherwise many people would not have survived." Feng Yuanqing sighed.

Halfway through the journey, Chen Feng took out a slingshot and shot dozens of migratory birds along the way.

Chen Feng was only responsible for shooting, while Chen Hao kept getting out of the car to pick up the bullets.

Chen Li also wanted to shoot the bird, but the ox cart didn't stop and the distance was more than ten meters away, so she failed to hit it once, which made her very angry.

He thought that his slingshot was not working and insisted on asking Chen Feng to replace it.

As a result, he did not have enough strength to pull Chen Feng's slingshot, so he could only sit in the car and watch the wild ducks, pheasants, etc. being released continuously.

The family sent Chen Feng and his family to the entrance of Zhoujiagou Village.

"Master Feng, we don't have anything else, so we'll give this little prey to my sister-in-law to replenish her body."

If you respect me a foot, I will give you a foot in return.

Chen Feng smiled and separated the prey into three fatter ones.

"That won't work. The potion you gave my wife last time was very good. Doctor Zhao said that if it weren't for your potion, my wife might have miscarried. How could I want your prey?"

"And I don't know how to repay you for the food and eggs you gave me."

"Brother Feng, it is precisely because my sister-in-law is pregnant that we need to take good care of her."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "If I hadn't taken your ox cart and walked along this riverside road, I might not have run into them."

"Besides, the world is big, but children are the most important."

"It's not enough to just eat enough, you have to supplement more."

"If you feel embarrassed, how about this, I like to eat seafood, you can bring me some seafood when you are free."

The Feng family refused several times and were unwilling to accept it.

Chen Jianjun said, "Comrade, please accept it. You will see my son's ability. We can hunt this game in a day."

"If you don't accept it, I can only give you money."

He pretended to pay, and the Feng father and son had no choice but to accept the prey.

"By the way, Brother Chen, do you eat sea cucumbers?" Feng Yuanqing asked.

Before Chen Feng opened his mouth, Chen Li said happily: "Eat, I like sea cucumbers the most."

She doesn't like it at all, she has never eaten it.

It was purely because Chen Feng mentioned it last time that she remembered it clearly.

"Master Feng, did you pick up a sea cucumber?"

Edible sea cucumbers mostly live on hard rock bottoms, coral reef bottoms or coral sand bottoms, and are now difficult to catch using nets.

Wild sea cucumbers are generally harvested by diving.

Using divers' skills and equipment, they dive into the deep sea and use underwater lights or sensors to find sea cucumbers, and then catch them manually or mechanically.

This is also the reason why wild sea cucumbers are expensive.

Labor costs are very expensive!

But sometimes, many sea cucumbers hiding on the seabed will be swept to the shore by undercurrents and waves due to big waves, hurricanes and other reasons, and become delicacies and tonics for humans.

"Yes, last month during the Qingming Festival, there were huge waves in the Bohai Sea, which swept a lot of seafood to the shore." Feng Yuanqing said with a smile: "My father and I were lucky. We found several kilograms of sea cucumbers at a beach."

"How many pounds?" Chen Feng asked in surprise, "This is good stuff, you should save it for your sister-in-law."

"It's okay. I have other seafood at home." Feng Cheng wanted to repay Chen Feng.

Chen Feng firmly disagreed.

"Look at us, we are all healthy. You are just giving us food to satisfy your appetite."

"If you have other seafood, I will take it, but not sea cucumbers. My sister-in-law is more important."

"There are others, but they are all common ones." Feng Yuanqing said with a wry smile: "I think there are more in Zhoujiagou. The Zhou family is famous for their fishing skills."

Chen Feng smiled.

"That's all, keep in touch when you have time."
