Chapter 854 Ordinary Fun

That is to say, I went home and walked around. When I came out, some villagers were already dealing with sand grouse. Zhao Xinyu did not see Du Mengnan and the others in the courtyard. When he asked the villagers, Du Mengnan and the others went out with several girls in the village.

Zhao Xinyu looked at the room where Heifeng was, and Heifeng was no longer there. He also looked at the area where Jinhen and Jinyu were, and found that the two guys were not there either, so Zhao Xinyu was relieved.

A few days after returning, the empty living room of the three main rooms has become the domain of the old people. Almost all the old people in the village gathered in the living room and chatted with the four old men.

The old people have their own world, and Zhao Xinyu often doesn't understand what they say. Zhao Xinyu, who can't interrupt, also has his own circle, a group of peers in the village.

They were playmates when they were children. Although Zhao Xinyu left the village for more than ten years and rarely came back, their friendship is still there. What's more, although Zhao Xinyu is rich now, he has no airs. Many young people in the village are already planning to go out to work. , but when they heard that Zhao Xinyu wanted to develop the village, they all chose to stay.

There were so many people that the tent in Zhao Xinyu's courtyard became their temporary gathering place. Every morning and afternoon, people who had nothing to do gathered in Zhao Xinyu's courtyard.

Because of the heavy snow, the young people did not enter the tent, but shoveled the snow out of the yard. Although there were many people, the yard was larger, and the snow in the yard was not cleared until nearly ten o'clock.

Just when Zhao Xinyu was about to go to the kitchen to make sand pheasant, a group of people came in from outside. These were the eldest girls and wives of the village. Du Mengnan and the three of them had been with them these days.

Zhao Xinyu couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Du Mengnan and the other three people carrying their children. Each of the three people was carrying several bags.

"What are you doing?"

Du Mengnan and the others raised the bags in their hands and said, "We went to sweep the house."

Zhao Xinyu laughed, "You must have gone to Sister-in-law Shi Ling's house."

"how do you know?"

Wang Yong laughed and said, "The cake fans made by their family are famous far and wide. Their family was our favorite place to go when we were young."

"Uncle Yong, are you all going to go then?"

Wang Yong nodded, "Their family's skill in making cake fans has been passed down from ancestors. What anyone makes is not as delicious as theirs. Ask anyone here who has never tasted their cake fans."

Du Mengnan and the three of them were stunned, then turned to look at a middle-aged woman in her forties, "Sister-in-law, what they said is true."

Shi Ling chuckled, "Of course it's true. Not to mention them, the older generation in the village have eaten it. By the way, Xinyu, my mother heard from Mengmeng and the others that we are the ones you promote in Xihanling." The dishes and snacks here, my mother plans to pass on the skill of making cake fans to you, you can go there when you have time."

Zhao Xinyu was slightly stunned, "Sister-in-law, how can this be possible? That craft is passed down from your family's ancestors. This craft is passed down from male to female. I..."

Shi Ling sighed slightly, "There are still a few young people who are willing to learn. My children would rather go out to work than learn. My mother said you can pass on this craft."

Zhao Xinyu nodded, "Okay, I'll go there when I have time."

Liu Fengying patted Liu Wanting and said, "Go and give the cake fans to your grandfather and aunt."

The four little guys took the bags from their hands and trotted back to the living room.

Looking at the four sensible and obedient children, Wang Yong couldn't help but sigh, "Xinyu, how did you educate the children to be obedient and sensible?"

Zhao Xinyu smiled faintly, "It's not the way the older generation educated us. I remember Master Xishun said that he would only feel motivated after going out if he suffered a lot at home. Today's children don't suffer, they They always feel that what their parents give them is what they deserve, which is not a good thing. When it comes to traditional education, our village is better."

"Brother Xiaoyu, Xihanling School is particularly outstanding in the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination every year. When you open a school in our village, the children in our village will be spared the pain."

Zhao Xinyu was slightly stunned. He looked at Wang Yong and said, "Uncle Yong, there is no school in our village."

Wang Yong smiled bitterly, "Why not? There is a newly built school, but there are too few students in our village and no teachers are willing to come."

Zhao Xinyu's eyes flickered for a few times, "That's it for this semester. Next semester, we will communicate with the joint school and improve the benefits for the teachers. But we only have one condition, let them do their best to teach our children, and the benefits will be linked to grades. . We can suffer, but we cannot suffer the children."

"But where is the joint school?"

"Uncle Yong, I'll pay for it, as long as they find us a good teacher. Tell them, if they come here just for money, then don't come."

Liu Fengying looked at Wang Yong, "Uncle Yong, he is right, we are here for the children, but we are not stupid and have too much money. If it doesn't work, we can run our own school and we can't let the children suffer the disadvantage of being uneducated."

Zhao Xinyu chuckled, "Fengying, please take some time to discuss it with Uncle Yong and the others. I'll make sand grouse first."

The eyes of people like Wang Yong lit up, "Xinyu, the sand chicken you roast is delicious. Let's eat roasted sand chicken for lunch."

Zhao Xinyu laughed and said, "It seems like one is not enough for one table. Let's braise it in braised sauce. Braised in braised sauce is also delicious."

"Is there any seafood? I'm addicted to seafood these days." Wang Bing looked at Zhao Xinyu.

"Yes, there is no shortage of seafood."

Perhaps because the young people's tent was busy yesterday, Du Mengnan went directly to the young people's place during lunch.

When the braised chicken nuggets were served, Du Mengnan's eyes lit up. Different from the pheasant and exquisite chicken they had eaten, the meat of this sand chicken seemed to have a faint scent of pine nuts.

"Mengmeng, Tongtong, Fengying, you must have never eaten this sand grouse. Come and try it. This is a good thing."

Du Mengnan nodded, took a piece, and then his eyes lit up. The chicken of sand chicken is tender and tender, and the meat aroma is richer than that of Linglong chicken. The taste seems to be better than Linglong chicken.

Du Mengnan looked at the young people at the same table and said, "This sand grouse tastes so good, why haven't we heard of it?" While speaking, he took a piece for the children.

"There used to be a lot of sand grouse, but now that the weather is getting warmer, there aren't many sand grouse here or on the other side of the prairie. It snowed heavily this year. We didn't see any sand grouse last year. It's delicious. Just eat more.”

When Zhao Xinyu took his seat, Wang Yong and the others suddenly became interested. Zhao Xinyu laughed and said, "Uncle Yong, I have something to do in the afternoon. Let's talk about it in the evening."

"Zhao Xinyu, I heard they said there is still sourness in the mountains. We plan to go for a walk in the mountains in the afternoon."

Zhao Xinyu looked at Du Mengnan and shook his head, "This time the snow is heavy, and many animals in the mountains cannot find food for the time being. They often go out to look for food. If they encounter wild boars or gray wolves, they will be in trouble."

Wang Yong nodded, "Mengmeng, listen to Xinyu. Xinyu knows a lot about the mountains. We all listened to him at the beginning."

Du Mengnan and the other three nodded, with a hint of disappointment in their eyes.

Seeing the looks of Du Mengnan and the others, Zhao Xinyu's heart moved slightly, "Uncle Yong, there should be some white bars over there at the small reservoir. Let's get some white bars in the afternoon and drink them in the evening."

Baitiao? Du Mengnan, the three of them all looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. They really had never heard of Bai Tiao.

Zhao Xinyu chuckled, "Bai Tiao is a small fish that can be found in many places, but it has a strong fishy smell and many thorns, so generally no one wants to eat it."

"That you?"

Wang Yong laughed and said, "The ones made by others are not delicious, but Xinyu has mastered Uncle Zhao's authentic recipe. Not only does the white strips have no fishy smell, but the thorns are fragrant. Let's catch the white strips later."

"Uncle Yong, what other fish are there in the small reservoir?"

"No one cares about it. There are other fish, such as white stripes and crucian carp."

"When the ice melts in the spring, let's get some carp and grass carp."

In the afternoon, they were going to catch idlers, and people didn't drink much. Wang Yong and the others looked for tools, while Du Mengnan and the others went back to pack up, leaving the children with Wang Qing and the others. The three of them followed Zhao Xinyu out.

People were cleaning up the snow in the village, but not elsewhere. Only when they stepped on the snow that covered their ankles did Du Mengnan and the others realize why Zhao Xinyu asked them to change their shoes.

The three of them are not ordinary people. They did not know how much mobile data was wasted along the way. Du Mengnan and Guan Bingtong, who were born in the south, finally realized the beauty of the snow in the north.

The reservoir is located in a ditch in the south of the village, close to Liuling Mountain. Although the dam is not small, it can only store about ten acres of water at most.

On the thick ice, the young men who were attacked had already dug several ice holes. When Wang Yong and others were setting down the net, Zhao Xinyu looked around.

"Mengmeng, there seems to be some sourness here, I'll take you to have a look."

"Xinyu, the snow in this ditch is thicker, how can you get up there?"

Zhao Xinyu chuckled, "It's okay, just slow down."

After crossing the reservoir and looking at the silver-covered shrubs and trees in the ditch, Du Mengnan and the others kept exclaiming, and their mobile phones kept flashing.

Suddenly Du Mengnan exclaimed, and he felt his feet were empty. When she reacted, she saw that most of her legs were buried in the snow.

Looking ahead, the snow was obviously much thicker than when we came here, which surprised Du Mengnan and the others.

"The wind on the mountain is strong, blowing the snow on the ditch into the ditch, and the snow becomes thicker. Be careful, there are rocks under the snow, so be careful with your sprained feet."

Du Mengnan chuckled, "Heifeng, go explore the way."

Heifeng let out a low roar, and jumped into the thick snow with his huge body. He ran a few steps, and half of his body was buried.

Heifeng was not short, almost 1.56 meters tall. Now Heifeng seemed to be buried, which surprised Du Mengnan and the others.

However, it was their first time to enter the mountain. They were surprised and even more excited. They followed behind and recorded the whole process of the black wind and the surrounding snow scene.

This is because they all have a certain level of cultivation. For ordinary people, it would be really difficult to go up the mountain in the face of such thick snow.
