Chapter 141 The Old Man is in Trouble
When the first batch of fruits ripened, Tu Shan packed them in vine baskets as usual and stacked them up.
The vine baskets she wove, although not very attractive in appearance as they were just casually wound a few times, were very sturdy. When stacked up, they fit together perfectly without pressing down on the things inside the frame and without causing any dents or unevenness.
It will not be deformed due to being stacked too high or pressed too heavily.
The vines that are stimulated to grow also have a natural preservative function, and the taste is fresh and pleasant.
To avoid squeezing the fruits, the baskets are not deep. For fruits the size of an apple, only two layers can be stacked. Grapes and kiwis can also only be stacked in two layers. Too many fruits can easily be crushed.
You can add one more layer of oranges.
After harvesting one batch, she gave birth to another batch. She didn't plan to collect these, so she left them here as her "vegetables", and various birds could also get some of the benefits.
Then he harvested five batches of grass to ensure that the thousand or so cattle and sheep could eat it for two to three years.
They were all harvested when they were fresh and tender, and then the Yang family would turn them into hay.
There is enough fodder, and we can get some more food. These days, the more food the better.
The staple foods are wheat and rice, and two batches of each should be harvested.
Three batches of each of these high-yield coarse grains, including corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, sorghum, taro, and soybeans, were harvested.
I also got a batch of fruits and vegetables, such as winter melon, pumpkin, cucumber, bok choy, etc.
Although peanuts, rapeseed, peas, sesame seeds, ginger, garlic, and Gastrodia elata are not filling foods, they are good things to improve the quality of life and are indispensable. I harvested two batches of all of them.
Sugarcane, the raw material for brown sugar, which has become a luxury product, was harvested in five batches.
Tu Shan felt that everyone seemed to like brown sugar, so there was nothing wrong with adding more.
No one counted how many there were in total, but they were piled up into a mountain. Even Tu Shan couldn't help but get excited when she saw it, let alone others.
It is definitely impossible to move so many at once, and it is not realistic to hang them all on the trees. Tu Shan plans to build a vine warehouse, which is inspired by the vine house she built for her parents.
This is easy to make and useful.
The vine house is built right at the edge of the land, along the ground, and you can just put the harvested produce inside.
A warehouse is 300 square meters and ten meters high. There are a total of 100 rooms built, neatly arranged at the end of the field, which is very impressive.
A meter-thick layer of vines is laid on the ground to isolate the ground from moisture and prevent rainwater from flowing when it rains.
The four walls and roof of the vine house are all surrounded by large, thick leaves that have grown rapidly, which protects it from wind and rain, and keeps it warm in winter and cool in summer.
All the food was packed in vine baskets. The baskets for food were deeper than those for fruit. One basket could hold about 100 kilograms of food, which was stacked layer by layer to the top.
They are neatly arranged against the walls of the warehouse, which looks beautiful.
Apart from what was taken away, the rest were stored in five warehouses, and then the doors were sealed so that no snakes, insects, rats or ants could get in, making it safe.
After doing this, a circle of bamboo was planted around the land to make it convenient to eat bamboo shoots and also to serve as isolation.
Plant a circle of thorns outside the bamboo for double protection.
When expanding and reclaiming the land in the future, we just need to make a gap, which is very convenient.
After finishing all this, it was dark.
First, they carried the things up to the canyon one by one. In addition to fodder, they also prepared some food and vegetables for the Yang family generals.
Zong Zheng Min'an prepared some vegetables and fruits as an extra meal for them.
The cafeteria also prepared some food, vegetables and fruits. Old Lu took them out and was so stingy that she felt anxious watching him.
The remaining some was given to my parents, Mr. Zong Zheng, my company, and some to give to other people, and they were all packed in clear categories.
Looking at the weather, I can’t catch a big poisonous bee today. Let’s try next time.
Take a bath in the hot spring, go home to change clothes, and then cook.
I don’t know if my parents ate well because she didn’t bring them food. Fortunately, she sent some food in advance so they didn’t go hungry.
The pheasants and rabbits I brought back from the secret base had not been eaten yet, so I roasted them with potatoes and Gastrodia elata.
I steamed some taro buns, stir-fried some green vegetables, boiled ten heads of tender corn, and made some pea and egg drop soup.
The dinner was very sumptuous. Tu Shan ate most of it by herself, packed up some for her parents, and took some food for her parents and old man Zong Zheng with her. She also brought some firewood for her parents.
The old couple were watched when they went in and out. They didn't even have the time or the qualifications to make ordinary firewood. It was really frustrating just thinking about it.
In the vine house of the public toilet, the butcher's father and mother roasted two sweet potatoes for dinner, and ate them with boiling hot water, but they could hardly swallow them.
Tu Shan suddenly didn't come to deliver food, and they were worried that something had happened to her.
The old couple didn't say it out loud, but they both understood in their hearts that they were worried about Tu Shan.
But since Tu Shan was using the name Tu Sanmei, they couldn't express their concerns without any reservations.
When the familiar knocking sound was heard, the old couple was startled and smiled at the same time, then burst into laughter.
The sound stopped, and the two went to the compartment. Seeing the familiar food and things, they finally felt relieved.
After seeing that her parents were fine, Tu Shan went to find the old man without any worries.
At this time, the Zong Zheng family should have finished their meal and not rested yet, so Tu Shan strolled over, ready to give them a surprise.
When we arrived at Zong Zheng's house, there was no one there who was supposed to be enjoying the cool air in the yard.
All the breathing sounds gathered in one room, but no one spoke.
The atmosphere is not right.
Tu Shan jumped into the yard, put down her things and walked into the house.
As soon as I entered, I saw a man in his thirties giving acupuncture to Old Man Zong Zheng's Huiguan acupoint.
"Fuck, you're looking for death." He almost flashed into the house and kicked the man out.
The man fainted before he could even react. Tu Shan grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up. She looked sullenly at the stunned people in the room and asked, "Whose man is this?"
Tu Shan's aura was so terrifying in her rage that even Zong Zheng Guotai and Zong Zheng Min'an didn't dare to look her in the eye. They just stood there in a daze without saying a word.
Only Ming Zhan remained calm.
Ming Zhan did not doubt that Tu Shan had ulterior motives. He trusted her more than the man in her hand.
"Is there something wrong with him?"
Tu Shan's expression was very cold: "Yes, he gave the old man a needle that damaged his vitality.
This injection will wake the old man up, but it will cost him his life. One injection will cost him at least a year of life. Do you understand?"
Tu Shan doesn't know medicine, but she has been with her father Tu since she was a child, and has learned some knowledge from him.
In addition, she has a strong sense of human vitality and can sense the cost of this injection.
The old man had a lot of needles stuck in his body. She didn't know what to do and didn't dare to pull them out. She could feel the old man's vitality rapidly draining away, and his whole body was getting colder.
Zong Zhengchen hesitated, "That can't be right. He's Dr. Chu's apprentice, Lü Kuan. Dr. Chu is Grandpa's attending physician. Lü Kuan often sees Grandpa on his master's behalf. He shouldn't harm Grandpa."
Tu Shan lost her usual playful smile and glanced at Zong Zhengchen indifferently: "I don't care whose disciple he is or whether he should harm the old man. I only care about the facts." She looked at Zong Zheng Guotai and said: "Lock this man up and don't allow anyone to visit. I want to interrogate him personally and no one is allowed to come."
Zong Zheng Guotai nodded silently.
Tu Shan threw the man out, and Lu Kuan groaned in pain even in his sleep.
Tu Shan checked the old man's condition and found it was more serious than she had imagined. However, she hadn't seen him for two days. Why had the old man lost so much vitality?
"Uncle Ming, take all the herbs we have at home and follow us. Anyone who is agile and willing can follow."
She picked up old man Zong Zheng in a princess hug, not daring to touch the needles on his body, and walked straight out.
Ming Zhan didn't hesitate and packed up all the old man's commonly used medicines and took them with him.
There are many people in the Zong Zheng family who want to follow, but not many can keep up.
After Ming Zhan left right behind Tu Shan, only Zong Zhengrui and Zong Zheng Min'an managed to keep up.
The four of them walked out one after the other. Tu Shan deliberately slowed down on the way and waited for the three people behind to catch up.
