"The fiery red sun just came out of the mountain, and the morning glow filled half of the sky. Two people walked on the east road, one old man and the other young man..." Old man Li from Litang Village walked while carrying a hoe.
"Mr. Li is early, go to the field to work hard." Li Jiahao greeted old man Li Qinchen.
"Jiahao, it's already. You really don't plan to go out, right? I heard your grandfather say you don't want to go out anymore. You kid, you are the only college student in our village. How many people are running out, but you run back. I really don't understand what your child is thinking." Li Qinchen said.
"I want to stay in my hometown and stay for a few years first." Li Jiahao said with a smile.
Li Qinchen is an elderly widowed man from Litang Village. His daughter married to another village. His wife died a few years ago and now lives alone.
"Uncle Li, I'm going to play chess with my grandfather for no reason. My grandfather is thinking about you every day." Li Jiahao said.
"Okay." Li Qinchen walked away as he said that.
Li Jiahao likes to get up early, and he likes to run alone and practices Tai Chi. He feels that this can strengthen his body. The spiritual water in the space plucks his hair and cleanses his marrow. Although his body is much better than before, exercise is still essential.
After training for an hour, Li Jiahao walked to the pond behind the house. He saw that many fish were caught by his third uncle and sold to Ma Wenbiao. Only a small fish in the pond was left. He opened the space and brought a bucket of water to the pond. Many fish swam over. He took a shovel and opened the water from other water bays to the pond behind his house. He immediately swam over from other water bays. He put the larger fish directly into his space and kept it slowly. He decided to buy some fish fry and put it in the pond, and eat it himself, and sell some pocket money.
Li Jiahao picked up the Lingshui and watered the fruit trees behind the house. After the last time the Lingshui water irrigation, the fruit trees in the orchard bloomed very beautifully. The peach blossoms on the trees were pink and pink, like fire clouds, blooming in the morning light in a very noisy, dense layer by layer, and like a morning glow. The crystal clear apricot flowers are in bud, swaying and fluttering in the spring breeze, like a shy girl, "The pink and white fragrance marks the spring rain, the light red wine is dizzy and the morning wind" refers to pear blossoms. The snow-white cherry blossoms are like the fairy spirit of Fenglai Fairy Mountain, walking under the tree, as if entering the paradise on earth.
Looking at the colorful fruit trees in the orchard, Li Jiahao was so happy. The reason why these flowers bloomed so beautifully was entirely due to Lingshui. There are the most peach blossoms in the orchard, with about fifteen or sixteen trees. He picked many peach blossom petals and put them in the space, and there were about several baskets. He planned to keep them for brewing peach blossom wine. Speaking of peach blossom wine, this is Li Jiahao's favorite drink. I remember that when I was a child, I drank too much peach blossom wine, and my face was flushed. I slept soundly during class. It was obvious that it was because of drinking peach blossom wine. The teacher told my father that he was whipped by his father a lot.
Peach Blossom Wine is not only delicious, but also has great effects, breaking blood stasis, regulating tendons, promoting blood circulation, relaxing bowel movements, eliminating acne, beauty, and treating back and spinal pain. Among them, the beauty function is particularly significant. After drinking Peach Blossom Wine carefully, the face will remain rosy and tender, and the green summer is always there.
There are many ways to brew peach blossom wine. Collect peach blossoms, dry them, put them in the wine jar, add wine chorus, pour them into the clear spring on the mountain, seal them and buried them underground. This method is less brewed in Litang Village. Litang Village brews peach blossom wine, mostly wrapped with glutinous rice, wrapped peach blossoms in gauze and placed in the wine jar, add wine chorus, buried underground, and some are placed in a cool place that children cannot reach. They can be drunk in ten days and half a month. The peach blossom wine brewed in this way is relatively low, but the aroma is slightly yellow, sweet, it is a top-notch nourishing for middle-aged and elderly people.
Li Jiahao now has space spiritual water. He doesn't want to use the spring water on the mountain to brew it. He wants to use his own spiritual water. Carrying a large basket of peach blossoms, grandma widened her eyes, "Baby, you are going to brew peach blossom wine."
"Yes, I haven't drunk it for a long time outside, and I really miss the taste." Li Jiahao said with a smile.
With peach blossoms, the glutinous rice is simple and the wine songs are ready-made. Li Jiahao took advantage of his grandmother's attention and replaced his own spring water with spiritual water in the space. The glutinous rice is boiled in the spirit water, and the peach blossom wine brewed is really the best.
Li Jiahao saw that his grandmother was busy but couldn't get involved. Grandma took another wine jar. Grandma wanted to brew separately, one was to brew at a lower level, and the other was to brew at a higher level.
The glutinous rice was cooked 70% or 80% cooked. The glutinous rice was added. The peach petals were not wrapped in gauze. Grandma directly crushed them and stirred them in the glutinous rice. It was sealed. This was a low-alcohol wine, suitable for women and children to drink. Grandma took out another jar of wine, plus glutinous rice and glutinous rice, and poured a pot of sorghum wine. Now the degree is very high. No matter how powerful the alcoholic is, he just needs to drink such a big bowl and keep him dizzy.
I watched my grandma seal the mixed wine, tie it with plastic film, bury it in the yard, and wait for ten days and half a month to take it out and drink it.
Most people in the mountains can drink it, and they can also make wine by themselves, such as flower wine, cherry blossom wine, fruit flower wine, and various fruit wines, such as plum wine, cherry wine, date wine, etc. Most children like cherry wine and date wine the most. After drinking this wine, the remaining wine cherry and wine dates will taste really good after the wine is fermented by the wine. From a distance, you can see which child has a red face, it must be because he ate wine cherry or wine dates.
After everything was done, Li Jiahao washed his hands. Aunt San had already brought the meal to the chopping board, and grandpa and uncle San were also sitting beside the chopping board to start eating. At this time, the girl Li Jiahui also walked over with her sleepy eyes. Today's breakfast was very simple, a pot of millet porridge, steamed buns, a plate of sour cabbage, a few salted duck eggs, and soybeans. Soybeans were the most delicious. Soybeans were boiled by the soybeans, unlike soybeans, which were added with flour and waiting for green mold to grow. The soybeans were cooked by the soybeans, and then they were stuffed with the mashed and fried peanuts, broken star ginger, and red peppers. The grandma made it different from other people's houses. Others used cold white-boiled beans, but grandma made it with watermelon juice. Mashed the watermelon into watermelon juice, add it to the beans, put some dried wine in the jar, wrap it in a plastic wrap, tie it up, and put it in it.
When I was eating, I scooped a large bowl, cooked it, and added some coriander, red sauce, big red peppers, which tasted sour and sweet, with a hint of spicy flavor, soybeans and peanuts, which tasted really delicious.
Li Jiahao ate two big bowls of porridge and three steamed buns, and there was still the red beans left on his mouth. Grandma couldn't help but smile and said, "Baby, you see, you are not young anymore, and you still have food on your mouth. Are you going to eat for lunch?"
"Grandma, it's so delicious, I don't care about wiping my mouth." Li Jiahao smiled embarrassedly.
After dinner, everyone did something. Grandpa was going to water the vegetables in the vegetable garden and was preparing to go out with a bucket. Li Jiahao looked at it and said, "Grandpa, go out and visit me, I'll water it later." On the one hand, Li Jiahao was afraid that his grandfather would be tired, and on the other hand, Li Jiahao wanted to use the spiritual water from the space to water, and that kind of dish was delicious.
"Brother, have you seen Xiaodiandian? Why did I search for it for a long time but I couldn't find it?" Li Jiahui pouted.
"Yes, I've been busy these days, so I really haven't paid attention to Xiaodiandian. Go and ask if Aunt Third and Grandma have seen it."
"No, I've asked all the questions, so I've looked for all the rooms, but I didn't see any signs of it." Li Jiahui said anxiously.
"Then I really don't know. If you lose it, just throw it away. Maybe it has gone back to the mountains." Li Jiahao said disapprovingly.
Yes, I've been busy these days, and I really haven't noticed Xiaodian's traces. Maybe he ran to the mountains as he said. He wouldn't believe that it was taken away by someone else, because that little thing is really not a good person. If anyone hugs it casually, with its big teeth, he will definitely bite someone else's fingers.
Li Jiahui, who couldn't find Xiaodian, was sitting on the stool and listening to her MP4. While listening, she looked around, for fear that Xiaodian would be back if she was not careful.
