Chapter 2 Lamb Soup Fence Stakes

"Master, when will Wuling Township arrive?"

Sitting on the bus back to Wuling's hometown, Li Feng smiled bitterly and looked at the IOU in his wallet. Didn't he leave this for Zhou Li? When did he return to his wallet? Li Feng took out the phone, hesitated for a moment, thinking that he would just forget it and wait until he had enough money to call her.

The car was a little bumpy, Li Feng leaned forward slightly, his butt was owed, which was good for the knife. This was Zhou Li's explanation. Li Feng thought about it and felt warm in his heart, thinking that he didn't know who would be so lucky to marry a wife like Dr. Zhou.

Li Feng didn't dare to think that he was poor and lost his job again, but he didn't dare to think that Zhou Li could fall in love with him. "Wuling Township is here." Just as he was thinking about the matter, the flight attendant shouted, and Li Feng hurriedly stood up and raised his hand. "Master stop at the intersection of the street."

Wuling Township is a small town in a corner of the Qinling Mountains. It is more than 200 miles away from the city and belongs to the old mountain area. There is only one street and one street. Li Feng carried a small bag and pulled two big boxes, which was quite conspicuous.

Along the old stone street, Li Feng felt familiar and unfamiliar. The shops on both sides of the street had basically not changed much from ten years ago, but there were some air-conditioning cases. It must be said that since Li Feng went to high school, he has returned to Wuling for a few times. "I remember there is a mutton soup shop around the corner, and I don't know if it is still there."

Turning to the street, there is an alley, Wuling Street. The bluestone road is only two meters wider than the street more than five meters wide. The small street is built with sheds that are almost blocked by all sunlight. The old flag of Lao Guo’s yang sausage soup at the intersection is hanging high. Li Feng smiled and pulled the box and walked into the store. "Boss, come a bowl of yang sausage soup, less oil and more soup, and then two sesame cakes."

"Okay."

Lao Guo was picking mutton head meat, looked up at Li Feng, and chopped the bone knife on the wooden case, clapped his hands with a smile, and wiped his hands on the apron. "Brother, come to Wuling to play?"

"Haha, go home, on Lijiapo."

Li Feng smiled and said, his nose was sucking, and the mutton soup pot was opened, and the fragrance was everywhere. If you want to say that this mutton soup has been around for some time, the taste is pure mutton soup. It is not like the soup powder outside. I heard that my ancestors started mutton soup here, and it has been passed down for decades.

When Lao Guo heard that it was Li Jiapo, he grabbed Yangzao's hand and loosened it. He grabbed a bunch of extra pieces. Lao Guo's aunt married Li Jiapo. In short, it might be a relative. Lao Guo said, let alone, Li Feng would still call his aunt grandma.

The countryside looks quite big, but in fact, the patties can connect with relatives in every village. Lao Guo said happily, a handful of bean cakes, and a small round piece of rice cake, and a bowl of mutton soup with ingredients.

The mutton soup is milky white, with red spicy mutton oil floating on it, decorated with white scallion foam. Li Feng took the mutton soup along the edge of the bowl and took a sip. It was refreshing and fragrant, without the usual mutton soup smell. The fragrant mutton soup is mixed with a hint of burnt spicy flavor, and it is paired with some scallions and coriander. Take a sip, and your whole body is warm and comfortable.

Lao Guo’s wife gave two big sesame cakes. The barbecue was made of earthen stoves, and it was completely made of firewood. The grilled pancakes were roasted on the outside and tender on the inside. This was definitely not a boast. The sesame cakes were covered with pork and green onions and chopped into pieces, wrapped in a roll of meat filling, and then beat them, and baked them with the stove holes. The outside was crispy and crispy when it was roasted on one bite. The filling inside was roasted with noodles and roasted. The meat filling was full of fragrant onions. Then I took a bite of mutton soup.

Li Feng's appetite was wide open, and his worries were knocked down aside, so he felt comfortable. "It's still comfortable to eat mutton soup at home, and the boss settled the score."

"Forget it, forget it, I'll invite it." Old Guo said with a smile. "It's not easy for a guy to come back."

"How did that happen?"

As he said that, Li Feng took out twenty yuan and was about to leave as soon as he put it away. Lao Guo's wife hurriedly called to find money. When Li Feng saw that he had recovered the change, fifteen yuan. This bowl of mutton soup with ingredients plus two large sesame cakes was only five yuan.

Li Feng was polite in front of Lao Guo’s wife and hurriedly asked until Lao Guo stood up and said that a big bowl of mutton soup costs four yuan and two sesame cakes cost one yuan. This price is much cheaper than the city. If you have 15 yuan less in the city, you can’t get it.

Li Feng collected the change and pulled the box out of the alley, rushing back to Lijiapo. Lijiapo was away from Wuling Township Street and had more than ten miles of mountain roads. Fortunately, he met a cousin who came to the same village to buy things on the street.

"Uncle, when will we build this road? Didn't you say last time that the county is planning to build the road for us? Why is there no movement?" Li Feng leaned on the donkey cart, his butt raised, and the road was a little bumpy. He said that this broken road had been a few years ago. He said he wanted to repair it a few years ago, but it was gone.

The middle-aged man in his fifties drove a donkey cart with some hunched back and a white hair, a black square face, a pair of big hands, and grinned. "What are you repairing? A few days ago, he said he wanted to develop it. The boss came over. The country said he wanted to protect the mountains and forests. He said he would not let him go. Everyone ran away. Who will repair it?"

Li Feng smiled. It’s hard to say. If you don’t want to protect the ecological environment of this forest, you won’t be able to do it well. The roads outside are not accessible and people outside cannot enter. If you don’t have any development, the ecology of the forest is good. After all, it’s good or bad. There is no conclusion.

Of course, most mountain people hope to develop. The big boss outside has money and his fingers are enough for them to eat and wear. Along the way, he walked and chatted, and after an hour, he walked for more than ten miles, he arrived at the entrance of Lijiapo Village, and Li Feng moved his luggage. "Uncle, I have time to come to my house to drink."

"All right."

Li Feng's family is at the east end of the village, not far from the entrance of the village. After a while, we came to a small courtyard. The yard was filled with stones. There were three large stone-based adobe black tiled houses. Against the courtyard wall to the east, there were two small houses that made kitchens.

A middle-aged woman was washing beans by the well in the yard. She looked up at the tall man standing outside the door. She was stunned. The bamboo basket in her hand fell to the ground, looking confused and surprised. "Is Xiaofeng back?"

"Mom, I'm back."

At night, Li Feng lay on the familiar wooden bed, with familiar strange insects and birds ringing in his ears gradually rising. From time to time, there were some strange beast roars in the mountains in the distance. At night, the mountain village was not calm and there were no human activities. The small animals lived their own lives and were chattering and noisy. The familiar environment made people feel at ease, and Li Feng fell asleep shortly after a while.

Early in the morning, Li Feng got up early. The air in the mountains was good, and he fell asleep soundly, and his spirits improved a lot. "Mom, what should I eat in the morning?"

"Douhua."

The tofu of Lijiapo is made by hand, and it is white and tender. It is poured with toppings, chopped pickled vegetables and fried crumbled peanuts, paired with red chili oil, grab a handful of crushed coriander foam and sprinkle it, and it tastes so fragrant.

Li Feng ate three bowls in a row, then put them down, put them down, and after breakfast, Li Feng followed his mother to the vegetable garden to help water. Li Feng's father worked outside and rarely came back. His sister Li Tong was in the county for President Gao and boarding student, and it took only a month to come back.

The vegetable garden is more than two miles away from Li Feng's house, and a hillside near the river, nearly one acre, which is considered a large vegetable garden.

"Hey, mom, what's going on?" The vegetable garden was messy, with the cucumber stems tilted upside down, and many cucumber seeds were pulled. The peppers, eggplant, beans, and tomatoes were all in trouble, and they were tilted around and seemed to be blowing strong winds.

Zhang Fengqin cursed a few words, holding the cucumber pole and said, "It's not a wild boar. In recent years, there have been more and more wild boars in the mountains and often run to the village. I wanted to wait for your dad to come back, go to the mountain to cut down some tree stumps and remove the fence again."

Wild boars, Li Feng had seen them when he was a child, but he never heard of them in the mountains. Why did it cause wild boars to be in trouble in a few years? After asking, I found out that in the past ten years, the government has been engaged in ecological protection, and wild boars have become protected animals and killed illegally. Only then did it reach this point today, wild boars have caused wild boars to be affected by crops. "You can't watch these wild boars cause vegetable gardens and crops, the government has nothing to say about it."

"What are you talking about? The government is also having a headache now. In the past two years, wild boars are causing trouble for crops. Many people go to the streets to make trouble. Last autumn, the town mayor ran to various villages and gathered people to shoot wild boars. But now the hunting rifle has been handed over to the government. Without the hunting rifle, who will go up the mountain to shoot black tigers?" Zhang Fengqin said, the number of wild boars has increased, so it would be fine if the vegetable garden is damaged, but the crop fields are going to cause disaster, and the food rations of the family and the young are gone.

Li Feng thought to himself, feelings are like this. "Mom, I'll go to the mountain to cut some stumps to strengthen the fence of our vegetable garden." Speaking of which, Li Feng hasn't moved the saw for some years, let alone, he is really a little unfamiliar.

"This kid."

“When will I come back?”

Li Feng was struggling to pull the saw, and a middle-aged man came towards him. "Uncle San, I went to the mountain to collect herbs. I came back yesterday. Haha, the wild boars in the vegetable garden at home, so I'll pull some tree stumps."

"What, the wild boar has entered the village?"

The third uncle Li Fu in front of him was the village chief and the head of more than 50 families in Lijiapo. He was shocked when he heard the wild boars going down the mountain to cause trouble for the crops. "I will go to the town to react later."

"Uncle San, can wild boars be beaten now?"

"You can fight. Now the wild boar is in trouble. Whoever fights will be beaten will be the one who will be beaten. This is what the mayor said in front of everyone." Li Fu said, looking at Li Feng, a little worried that Li Feng is young and acts aggressively. "Xiao Feng, don't do anything randomly. This black tiger is amazing. It's even more powerful than a tiger."

"Uncle San, don't worry, I'm not stupid. This thing is even more powerful than a tiger when it gets angry."

Li Feng smiled and said, "I'm not stupid. I don't have a hunting rifle and run to the mountain to kill wild boars, so I don't have any chance of death." Li Fu was still a little worried and repeatedly reminded Li Feng, and then went down the mountain to go to the town. Li Feng pulled a few tree stumps as thick as a bowl, and took a long time to transport them back to his own vegetable garden.

"Ding Dong."

"The rural live broadcast room has been updated."
