I heard that Zhao Qingyan can use those sour fruits to make wine, and it's even a fine wine that's been presented as tribute.
The Zhao family's children now feel like they've missed out on a fortune.
Now Zhao Qingyan doesn't need to make any arrangements at all.
They immediately weeded and fertilized the wild grapevines, waiting for them to ripen so they could be harvested and used to make wine.
Children have no idea of the magic of fine wine.
In their hearts, fine wine, money, and delicious food are the ultimate goals. Now, looking at wild grapes, all they can think of are all sorts of delicious dishes.
At this moment, the little foodie Qingbi's mind was filled with all kinds of big chicken legs, braised pork, and pig's trotters.
His drool was dripping so much it almost soaked his clothes.
Qingyang couldn't stand it anymore and slapped her younger brother.
"What are you thinking about in broad daylight? Hurry up and pull the weeds. Didn't you hear me say that they'll be fully ripe in a little over half a month?"
Now we need to apply more fertilizer. With more grass, it'll naturally compete with the fruit for nutrients. Keep it up, young man, I believe in you!
After saying that, he went back to pulling weeds.
During their time in the valley, the Zhao family's children learned quite a few modern words from Zhao Qingyan.
Therefore, Zhao Qingyang's explanations are always understandable.
Zhao Qingbei, who had been slapped on the head, snapped out of his reverie. Sigh, time to work. Poor six-year-old Zhao Qingbei, yet he had to bear a burden he couldn't possibly carry.
The little guy loves to imagine things, and he goes through all sorts of scenarios in his mind.
I recalled the ancient poem Zhao Qingyan taught them every night, "Hoeing the fields at noon..."
That's how the atmosphere was; when one person spoke, the others responded, and soon the sound of children reciting their lessons echoed through the valley.
Grandpa Zhao has been quite busy lately.
Because Zhao Qingyan started teaching her sisters to recognize characters and do arithmetic, Grandpa Zhao also felt that he had become a bit extreme in recent years.
Just because he had bad luck in exams doesn't mean his descendants will be like him.
He then started thinking about how to educate his grandchildren, and he's already written dozens of pages of "lesson plans".
I woke up to birdsong and the fragrance of flowers. Dewdrops were still clinging to the leaves, as if they were just waiting for the right moment.
A gentle breeze blows, the leaves sway slightly, and the glistening dewdrops, propelled by the movement of the leaves, finally fall onto the ground and quickly merge into the earth.
It was a beautiful scene, and Zhao Qingyan would usually feel happy whenever she saw it.
But today I'm inexplicably upset.
She, a person who only eats simple food, lost all interest in eating.
When Huang saw this, she asked her,
"My dear, is the food not to your liking today? This is your favorite sponge cake."
Zhao Qingyan shook her head in frustration.
"No, Grandma. My aunt and sisters-in-law have always been excellent cooks, so their food is always delicious."
I'm just really upset, like something's about to happen.
"Grandma, is something going to happen in the village? How long have we been in the valley?"
The group looked at each other, none of them quite remembering.
Second Aunt slapped her thigh.
"Wait, I'll go check." He then ran to his room and returned a moment later.
"Our whole family has been in the mountains for twenty-five days."
If I hadn't marked the date on the wall for fear of forgetting it, I really wouldn't have known.
Zhao Qianci replied, "This is what it means to have no sun or moon in the mountains."
Because of Zhao Qingyan, a group of people decided to go back to Zhao Family Village.
After all, you can't leave the house unattended all the time. If a thief comes and runs the house to pieces, that would be quite annoying.
The personnel who would come out of the mountains were quickly decided.
Zhao Minggeng, Huang Shi, and Zhao Qingyan must be included.
In a few days, Zhao Qingyan will need to purchase wine jars and such, as the Zhao family's path to wealth depends on those wild grapes.
Then Qingshan and Qingling, a married couple, also returned to Zhao Family Village together.
Da Bao and Da Ya were left in the valley.
The reason was simple: Mrs. Huang wanted her two grandsons to work hard and add more members to the Huang family.
Huang felt that having only two great-grandchildren was too few.
Wang Caixia was also happy, as she could personally take care of her grandson and strengthen the bond between them. Why not?
After breakfast, they packed up, gathered their weapons for self-defense, and the Zhao family left the valley.
At the cave entrance, Huang carefully inspected the entrance again to confirm that no wild animals or humans had recently set foot there.
They re-covered the hole and sprinkled some medicinal powder on it.
Zhao Qingyan then retrieved some climbing vine seeds from her spatial storage and planted them around the entrance of the cave.
I believe that it won't be long before this place is completely covered by vines.
To prevent snakes from getting mixed in with the climbing plants, Zhao Qingyan planted some aralia elata near the entrance of the cave.
After all, sprinkling pesticide powder every time they come over isn't a long-term solution.
In the valley, in order to drive away snakes and insects, they initially sprinkled medicinal powder, and later planted senna, wild cassia, and impatiens around the area.
The goslings in the valley have grown to a considerable size. This time, the Zhao family plans to buy more goslings and bring back a few more dogs.
After all, the Zhao family only has one dog, and the valley is so big, they would feel more at ease if they got a few more.
After finishing their work at the cave entrance and covering it up, they set off on their way home.
Apart from Liu Xiaohua and Zhang Cuicui, who had little fighting ability, the others on the road were all skilled hunters.
Halfway there, they ran into Peppa Pig and her family again. Now that the meat was right in front of them, should they fight or not?
But if you fight, you still have to carry it for half a day. Even if you let a mule carry it, the mule will get tired too.
Zhao Qingyan had a wonderful idea: since carrying it was too much trouble, she would just hit it and lead it around.
As the tyrant of the mountains and forests, the wild boar never expected this.
The day when my family could be blindfolded by two-legged creatures, have their fangs cut off, and be dragged around with nose rings attached.
Pigs live a life of frustration, but they don't complain.
Peppa Pig's family has five members. When they fight, they target the older ones, grabbing Daddy Pig and Mummy Pig while letting the piglets run away.
The second cousin expressed his heartache, but it was Huang who was good at comforting him.
"As long as we keep walking in these mountains, those piglets will grow up and become meat in our pot."
We can't exterminate them all; we have to let them reproduce.
Everyone burst into laughter. Zhao Qingyan even joked directly,
"Grandma, so you've turned this Daqingshan into our own ranch. I wonder if the wild animals would cry if they knew."
"Haha, what's the big deal? I can still talk big."
However, the mountains and forests have their own laws.
We should avoid tigers, wolves, and bears if possible.
Putting aside the fighting prowess of tigers and bears, we might not even have the upper hand if we encountered one.
That wolf is very vengeful, so it's best to avoid provoking it if possible.
Everyone agreed wholeheartedly. They frequently traversed the mountains and didn't want to be constantly surrounded by enemies. That would be too worrying.
What the Zhao family didn't know was that they frequently went up the mountain, and each time they always carried a herbal medicine bag, followed a fixed route, and left their scent behind.
They indirectly occupied a territory.
Wild animals from the vicinity would not wander onto the road the Zhao family took; they would run away as soon as they smelled the scent from afar.
Today, Peppa Pig's family is purely an outsider; they just wandered around and bumped into each other.
