Chapter 146: Movie Show on Qingming Festival

Liu Zhiye gently explained to Liu Yuan: "Uncle, those dried offal can be ground into powder and fed to fish and shrimp."

He went on to explain: "For example, the bones of chickens, ducks and geese can be ground up and used as bait for fish and shrimp, which is both environmentally friendly and economical.

Moreover, after being processed, these wastes can also be used as organic fertilizers for fertilizing farmland, thus realizing the recycling of resources.”

In addition, the manure of chickens, ducks and geese, after proper fermentation, is also a very ideal fertilizer, which helps to expand the fertility of the pond. This not only provides nutrients for aquatic plants, but also promotes the growth of biodiversity in the pond. "

He added carefully, “However, when handling feces, we must pay attention to hygiene and safety to avoid secondary pollution to the environment.

Also, please note that before stocking the fry, you should first disinfect the pond with quicklime before draining the water, then add fermented animal manure, and then stock the fry after a period of time. "

He once again seriously reminded his uncle Liu Yuansheng: "Uncle, now that the scale of breeding has taken shape, we must focus on scientific breeding. Once an epidemic comes, it will be no joke." Uncle Liu Yuansheng listened carefully and nodded frequently to show his understanding.

Uncle Liu Yuansheng thought about it and suggested: "The brigade has a scientific breeding manual left by the agricultural machinery operator. We can use our free time to study more."

"How about this, after a while I will go to the Agricultural College and invite a few experts and professors to come and give you guidance on scientific breeding." Liu Zhiye thought about it and still felt a little uneasy.

We are not afraid of accidents, but we are afraid of the unexpected. If there is a chicken plague or a pig plague, the loss to the Liujiazhuang family will be huge.

This is no joke. Once chicken and swine fever breaks out, the livelihood of the entire Liujiazhuang may be affected, and Liu Zhiye's income will also drop sharply. By then, the loss will outweigh the gain.

After the three of them chatted for a while, Grandpa, auntie and a few others came back in the drizzle. Every day they would go to the nearby mountains to dig up some wild vegetables and grass, and then come back to make feed for livestock.

When they met, they exchanged polite words with Huo Cun again.

Liu Zhiye said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, the road is slippery on a rainy day, so you'd better not go up the mountain. It will be troublesome if you fall." There was a hint of complaint in his tone, but more of concern.

The old man smiled and said, "I can't sit still, so I'll just go up the mountain for a walk and pick some wild vegetables and herbs to exercise my body."

The great aunt explained to Liu Zhiye in a soft voice: "Your grandfather is really stubborn. No matter how we persuade him, he won't listen and insists on going up the mountain to take a look. You know, he was walking alone on the mountain to the ancestral grave..."

Then, she whispered in Liu Zhiye's ear: "I guess he misses your grandma, you should talk to him more later..."

Liu Zhiye learned about the situation of the ancestral tomb from his great aunt. Today was Qingming Festival, so he decided to go and worship his ancestors. So he left Huo Cun waiting here, and he took some yellow paper and other things and went to the ancestral tomb in the light rain.

Along the way, he was worried and thought about his deceased relatives. When he arrived at the ancestral tomb, he carefully lit the yellow paper, and the smoke seemed to make him feel the souls of his ancestors wandering around.

This is an ancient and solemn place, carrying the family's history and memory. Liu Zhiye stood there, praying silently, hoping that the ancestors would bless him with peace, health and success in his career.

He noticed that there were other graves around, some of which were deserted, while others were well cared for. He lamented the impermanence of life and the preciousness of family affection, and he cherished his current life even more.

…………

On the narrow path, he suddenly heard some movement in the grass. When he got closer, he found a gorgeous feather - it was a pheasant feather.

He instantly perked up and looked in the direction of the sound, his eyes falling on the beautiful creature in the grass.

"Hehe! Today is your day..." Liu Zhiye thought while his hands kept moving.

He did not draw his gun, but picked up a convenient stone nearby and smashed it at the pheasant with swift movements.

With a "bang", the pheasant fell to the ground. Liu Zhiye walked over and picked it up, only to find that it had died.

He weighed the object and exclaimed, "Wow!" It was obviously not light, weighing more than 5 kilograms. A hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Just in time to add you to the dish..."

In the old house, Grandpa, Uncle, Huo Cun and others had been waiting for a long time. When Liu Zhiye came back with a fat pheasant, they excitedly surrounded him.

The uncle took the pheasant, weighed it, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This pheasant weighs a full five kilograms! In recent years, because we hunt too frequently, we rarely see this kind of game in the nearby mountains."

Huo Cun was a real foodie. He laughed proudly and said, "What did I say? Just follow you, Liu Zhiye. You can have a good meal no matter where you go." His words drew laughter from the people around him.

"If you want to eat, no problem!" Liu Zhiye announced confidently: "Today at noon, I will show you my cooking skills! My specialty is stir-fried pheasant with spicy sauce." He was convinced that he had reached an advanced level of cooking skills and felt that it was time to show everyone his real skills.

So he started to get busy, preparing the ingredients, washing, cutting and marinating them, his movements were skillful and smooth.

The little pheasant was tumbling in the pot, the aroma of chili was everywhere, and Liu Zhiye's face was filled with a smile of satisfaction and pride.

He stir-fried the food skillfully, controlling the heat just right, and every step seemed so professional and meticulous.

Finally, he served the delicious and spicy stir-fried pheasant, and everyone was impressed by his cooking skills.

They tasted the delicious dish and praised it highly, saying it was one of the most delicious game they had ever eaten.

"Wow! This tastes amazing!" Huo Cun ate a piece of pheasant and his taste buds were instantly conquered by the deliciousness. His expression was full of surprise and satisfaction.

He was really impressed by Liu Zhiye and felt that this person had demonstrated amazing talent and ability in various fields and was simply omnipotent.

The aunt was surprised to find that her nephew had such extraordinary talent. His cooking skills were even better than hers who had been cooking for decades. It was really unbelievable.

"Well, it's really good! I think the texture and taste of this chicken are in no way inferior to the meals cooked by your fourth uncle himself." Grandpa tasted a few bites and praised sincerely.

Liu Zhiye's revered fourth uncle, Liu Hongshen, was a highly acclaimed chef at Hongbinlou before liberation. He has now returned to the village to farm.

After eating and drinking, the warm sunshine spread down like silk, and everyone was surprised to find that the gloomy sky had unknowingly turned into a clear sky.

This wonderful moment made everyone feel relaxed and happy, as if all the troubles disappeared with the change of the sky.

Everyone was savoring the lingering aroma of the delicious food while appreciating the bright sunshine outside the window, their hearts filled with satisfaction and joy.

"Wow! The weather is good. Old Huo, remember, after you go back, immediately notify the projection team of the Red Star Factory to show the movie as planned tonight. Make sure the screening is on time tonight so that the villagers can enjoy a wonderful movie feast with us." Liu Zhiye ordered decisively.

He then said to grandpa and aunt with a smile: "Aunt, remember to eat dinner early. At 6:30 in the evening, we will gather at the training ground of the training camp to watch a movie. Don't be late." His face was full of smiles, and his words were full of care and reminders, making people feel warm and kind.

The aunt asked anxiously, "It's time to show a movie! What kind of movies are they showing?" Liu Zhiye smiled and replied, "Tonight you can enjoy watching a lot of movies. One is the new movie "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" and the other is the classic movie "The Battle of Shangganling."

Grandpa and his two companions became excited when they heard the news. They couldn't wait to watch the movie. At this moment, they felt that the afternoon seemed to have become extremely long.

It's no exaggeration to say that going to the movies is a serious matter these days.

There are movie theaters only in big cities. In rural areas, watching movies depends entirely on projectionists carrying the films on their shoulders in the open air.

Every time there was news of a "movie screening", the village would become bustling. The hostess would cook early, the young people would wash and dress up, and the children would take their small stools to reserve a seat before it got dark.

The projectionist used a wooden pole to prop up the white screen, and while doing so he pedaled the flywheel to generate electricity. The hand-cranked projector squeaked, and another world unfolded before people's eyes.

Watch a movie and spend an hour or two experiencing other people's joys, sorrows, anger and happiness. When the screen goes down, you are still you and I am still me.
