It was not until the evening that Gao Mingcheng realized something was wrong. The big yellow dog did not go home, but kept following Black Tiger and Elf.
And when he fed rabbit meat to the black tiger and the elf, the black tiger and the elf were actually willing to share some of the food with the big yellow dog.
Something is wrong, definitely something is wrong!
Gao Mingcheng sat on the bench and carefully observed the big yellow dog. He then discovered that the big yellow dog was a female dog, and her belly was slightly big, as if she was pregnant with puppies.
Gao Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at the black tiger and the elf with suspicion.
Could it be that the big yellow dog was abducted by our own dog? Is the cub of the black tiger or the cub of the elf in the big yellow dog's belly?
Gao Mingcheng thought about it for a while, and finally realized that no matter whose puppies they were, they would be his puppies after they were born, and he had to raise them!
Of course, the premise is that the owner of the big yellow dog doesn’t come looking.
The three dogs on the ground were eating rabbit meat, and the two people by the fire were also eating rabbit meat.
This time, Gao Mingcheng made roasted rabbit meat for Fan Licheng. He built a simple stove with stones outside the yard, then lit a fire in the stove and put a wire mesh on the stove so that he could roast the marinated rabbit meat.
This wire mesh is what was left over from the mountain enclosure in spring, and it can be used as a barbecue grill.
The rabbit meat was roasting on the wire mesh. When the stove fire burned out into ashes, Gao Mingcheng wrapped eggs in lotus leaves and buried them in the ashes with sparks. In this way, when the rabbit meat on top was cooked, the eggs below would also be cooked.
It was the first time for Fan Licheng to eat roasted rabbit meat like this, and he felt it was extremely novel. Since he roasted it himself, he actually ate a whole rabbit!
Ever since he started training with the boxer, his appetite has indeed grown a bit. Besides, at his age, his body is just beginning to develop. The so-called "young brat eats his father out of money" is just like this age.
Fan Licheng burped, but looking at the roasted eggplant and eggs, as well as the cut watermelon next to him, he felt that he could eat a little more!
How can you eat barbecue without wine? So Gao Mingcheng poured a glass of bayberry wine from home. The alcohol content of bayberry wine is not very high, and it has a fruity aroma, which is just right for barbecue.
"Would you like to drink some?" Noticing that Fan Licheng was staring at the wine in his glass, Gao Mingcheng generously handed it to Fan Licheng.
Fan Licheng hesitated for a while before saying, "I'll just take a small sip."
"Of course, you've had too much to drink, so I won't give it to you. Just try it! I made this with bayberries myself. The trees have produced a lot of bayberries this year, and the price is pretty good."
Gao Mingcheng's face was full of smiles. He thought these bayberry trees were well planted. Even if they were sold at one yuan per kilo now, they could still sell a lot. Bayberry trees have a long lifespan. As long as they are well cared for, they will still be in their prime fruit-bearing period in thirty or forty years. By then, prices will have risen a lot. In a year, he can make tens of thousands of yuan from selling bayberries.
This money may not seem like much, but it is stable. Add to that the income from other fruit trees in Xiaofushan, it’s pretty good.
However, there are still too few bayberry trees planted now, so he is considering whether to buy a few more trees or graft them himself.
Grafting is not difficult. There are wild bayberry trees in the mountains that can be used as rootstocks. Then a section of the bayberry branches from Xiaofushan can be taken as scion. After the grafting is successful, he will have an extra batch of Dongkui bayberry trees.
By grafting and propagating by yourself, you can also save money on buying seedlings.
"This wine is delicious!" Fan Licheng's eyes lit up after he had just taken a sip of bayberry wine. He couldn't help but take another sip. When he wanted to drink again, the wine glass was taken away by Gao Mingcheng.
"Don't drink anymore. You are still young. Just taste it. When you grow up, I will give you a bottle of wine!" Gao Mingcheng said.
Fan Licheng was still not satisfied, but he didn't force anything and just ate the roasted eggplant obediently.
This eggplant is picked from the field. After washing, it is placed on the edge of the wire mesh and slowly roasted over charcoal fire until it is soft. Then it is brushed with a layer of oil. The eggplant is separated with chopsticks and sprinkled with oil, chili and minced garlic. When it is cooked, it tastes delicious.
Gao Mingcheng drank and ate meat at the same time. He caught five rabbits in total and gave one to each dog. Fan Licheng also ate one. Most of the remaining three went into Gao Mingcheng's stomach.
At this moment, Chen Dasong's youngest son Chen Duoxi suddenly came over.
The air was filled with the aroma of barbecue. A rabbit leg was placed on the wire mesh. The heat from the charcoal made the fat in the rabbit meat sizzle continuously.
"Brother Mingcheng." Chen Duoxi didn't get too close and stopped a few meters away from Gao Mingcheng.
He sniffed the meaty aroma in the air and swallowed hard.
Although we have more opportunities to eat meat at home this year, at his age, it is inevitable that he would crave meat, not to mention that it is barbecue, which is even more delicious!
Gao Mingcheng was a little surprised to see him coming, but he still warmly invited him over and let Chen Duoxi eat rabbit meat.
"I came just in time. There's a rabbit leg left. You can have it!"
Chen Duoxi's eyes lit up and he was very tempted, but he still held back, because he came here not to eat meat, but to ask Gao Mingcheng for another favor.
"Brother Mingcheng, can I take your car tomorrow? I want to go out and take a look." Chen Duoxi's heart was beating fast, but he still mustered up the courage to say what he wanted to say.
He had this idea a long time ago, but had never dared to say it out loud. Now he felt that he had found the opportunity, so he hurried over.
Fan Licheng came to Gaojia Village last year. When he came again this year, Chen Duoxi thought of one thing, that is, Gao Mingcheng would set out early tomorrow morning to send Fan Licheng home, and then come back again!
And Chen Duoxi can take the opportunity to go out and broaden her horizons.
His personality is more eccentric, completely different from his brother's down-to-earth personality.
Gao Mingcheng was a little surprised when he heard this request, but he also understood it. In fact, many people in the village yearn for the outside world, but few people dare to really leave this familiar small mountain village.
Gao Mingcheng agreed to Chen Duoxi's request without hesitation.
Chen Duoxi's personality is somewhat similar to that of his youngest son. They both have a restless heart and are eager to see the outside world. So when he sees Chen Duoxi, he occasionally feels a sense of closeness.
"Sure, there's room in the car. How about this, you go back and ask your brother. If he wants to go too, I'll take you two brothers together."
"Really? Thank you so much!" Chen Duoxi didn't expect that Gao Mingcheng would agree to her request right away. She was so surprised that she didn't know what to do.
Gao Mingcheng not only agreed to take him there, he was also willing to take his brother with him!
When Chen Duoxi thought of this, he spun around in excitement.
"I...I'll go ask my brother now..." Chen Duoxi wanted to go home immediately.
This time he mustered up the courage to find Gao Mingcheng on his own and never mentioned it to his family.
"Hey, wait, take this rabbit leg with you to eat. I've almost finished eating anyway." Gao Mingcheng stopped Chen Duoxi and forced the rabbit leg into his mouth.
He never paid Chen Duoxi a salary, but Chen Duoxi would often come to help.
"Thank you, Brother Mingcheng!" Chen Duoxi thanked him sweetly, then ran happily towards home with the hot rabbit leg. He couldn't wait to tell his family the good news.
Chen Duoxi felt that she had never run so fast before. The wind whistled past her ears and she felt like she was about to fly.
When he rushed home, he couldn't wait to tell the story and then began to express his excitement.
"...I have never been outside, and I have only been to the county town once. Haha, now I can go outside with Brother Mingcheng! I am so happy!"
"Brother, Brother Mingcheng wants you to go too!"
"Brother Mingcheng is such a good man!"
Without Gao Mingcheng's knowledge, he had already received several good guy cards in a row!
However, when Chen Dasong and his wife heard the news, they were shocked at first, and then they thought Chen Duoxi was making a fuss.
Chen Dasong scolded, "Mingcheng is doing his job, why are you going to disturb him? After he sends the people away, he can stay in the county, but if you follow him, he will have to send you back to the village. Isn't this causing trouble for him?"
Chen Duoxi was stunned. He had not thought of this at first, but he still did not want to miss this good opportunity, so he said: "I don't need Brother Mingcheng to take me back to the village. After I get to the county, I can take the bus back by myself, or walk back!"
"Nonsense, how are you going to get back when you don't know the way?" Chen Dasong scolded again.
Chen Duoxi held his neck and said, "I have a mouth, I can ask for directions!"
Seeing that his father and brother were in a stalemate, Chen Duofu spoke up to break the deadlock: "Dad, my brother and I will go together. When we get to the county, I will take him back on the bus. I know where to get on the bus."
Chen Dasong was slightly stunned, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
His eldest son has always been down-to-earth and dutiful, so he never expected that his eldest son would say that.
Since both brothers said so, and Gao Mingcheng had already agreed to it, Chen Dasong would no longer try to stop them and could only let them go.
But there is one thing I still need to remind you of: "You can go with me, but don't cause trouble for Mingcheng! When you come back, work hard! Mingcheng pays us a salary and treats our family well. This time he is willing to take you out to broaden your horizons. You must work hard in the future and don't let him down."
"Okay, I understand."
The two brothers said in unison.
Chen Duoxi's face was full of smiles and her heart was beating with joy.
It was not until now that he remembered that he was holding a roasted rabbit leg in his hand, so he quickly handed it to Chen Dasong, saying that it was for his parents to eat.
But most parents take care of their children first, so Chen Dasong said, "We won't eat it, you and your brother can share it!"
A rabbit leg is not very big, just enough for one person, or two people to enjoy the flavor.
But both Chen Duoxi and Chen Duofu refused to eat alone and insisted that everyone share the food. Finally, Aunt Liu took the rabbit leg to the kitchen and cut it into four small pieces with a knife.
Each family member eats a small piece, and they are all very happy. (End of this chapter)
