The more Ning Fei drank, the more he liked it. The fruit wine was refreshing and delicious, with a very mellow and rich taste.
However, as the alcohol gradually took over, his expression gradually became intoxicated.
"Master, you've drunk too much, let me help you go back." Jiang Xue said after seeing him like this.
"Yeah, okay." Ning Fei felt increasingly dizzy, so he returned to his bedroom with Jiang Xue's help.
Jiang Xue entered Ning Fei's bedroom for the first time.
Ning Fei's bedroom is very clean, the quilt and mattress are all dark blue, and there are a few books beside the bed. There are also some antique decorations in the house, the most eye-catching one is a sword on the shelf.
Jiang Xue noticed that there was a photo frame on Ning Fei's bedside table. In the photo frame, there is a photo of Ning Fei with the little falcon, the little fox, and the little dog. The three pets are smiling happily at the camera.
It can be seen that Ning Fei really likes them.
Jiang Xue put Ning Fei on the bed, looked at Ning Fei who was already sleeping soundly, and hesitated whether to help him take off his clothes.
Generally, when sending drunk people home, they always have to take off their clothes.
"Just take off your coat." Jiang Xue murmured in her heart.
Immediately, she took off Ning Fei's shoes and socks and placed them aside. Then she took off Ning Fei's shirt and covered him with the quilt.
"The master's drinking capacity is really bad!" Jiang Xue shook her head and sighed.
After everything was settled, she looked at Ning Fei sleeping soundly with satisfaction, and then quietly left Ning Fei's room.
In the evening, after drinking a jar of fruit wine, I slept soundly.
Especially after the rain, the weather is a bit cooler, and sleeping under the quilt is even more comfortable.
The next morning, Ning Fei still got up relatively early.
He didn't drink much, and he woke up quickly when he was drunk. It was different from the kind of drunkenness caused by alcoholism, so he didn't have any effects when he woke up in the morning, and he couldn't even smell the odor of alcohol on his body.
Ning Fei first washed himself by the pool, then put on his morning exercise clothes and ran outside for morning exercise again.
"Puppy, come!"
Ning Fei shouted.
"Woof woof!"
The puppy refused to admit defeat and barked again.
The little falcon also woke up at this time, fluttering its wings and flying to Ning Fei's shoulder. It looked like he was going to join the morning exercise team.
The little falcon grew faster and was larger than ordinary pigeons because it ate the poultry feed obtained through a lottery. Now it has gradually returned to its normal growth rate.
Ning Fei took another look at the little fox and found that the little fox was sleeping soundly in his nest and holding a fox doll. He looked very happy.
Ning Fei remembered that Xiaohu drank a lot of fruit wine yesterday, and he probably hasn't recovered yet.
Then, as soon as the genius dawned, Ning Fei started running through the mountains with a dog and a fox.
Strangely enough, while Ning Fei was running, a few local dogs occasionally joined the team and ran behind Ning Fei.
Not long after, Ning Fei turned around and saw five or six more native dogs.
These native dogs are in the standard "Ahuang" shape, which is what Chinese pastoral dogs look like. Two more are pure black and one is white.
"What's going on?"
Ning Fei looked at these pastoral dogs in confusion and thought to himself.
Immediately, he took another look at the puppy and found that the group of pastoral dogs seemed to be running after the puppy.
"It can't be Da Huang's men."
Ning Fei knelt down and picked up the puppy. The puppy was very active and let Ning Fei hold it up, its tail wagging happily.
"You are still a prince!" Ning Fei smiled at it and said.
"Woof woof!" The puppy seemed to understand and barked twice.
"Come on, keep running!"
Ning Fei put down the puppy and continued his morning exercise. The little dog followed him closely, and the little falcon flew low and hovered above his head. Several pastoral dogs followed, looking very happy.
At this time, many villagers on the mountain had already begun to clean up their farmland. On the way, Ning Fei also met several medicine farmers, carrying bamboo baskets on their backs to collect herbs on the mountain.
The villagers of this mountain rely on the mountain to survive. As the sun shines, they wake up and start working.
Ning Fei ran all the way to the west of the village.
There is a farmhouse in the west called Wang Ji, whose nickname in the village is "Chicken King".
This chicken is not that chicken.
The Chicken King said that he has a large yard with several fences in it, and he has about three hundred chickens.
You know, if a farmer raises free-range chickens, the survival rate of the chickens is very low.
Generally speaking, if you raise 100 chicks and 70 of them can grow up normally, it is already very profitable.
But Wang Ji is very good at raising chickens. He has been raising chickens for many years and has rich experience. The survival rate of chickens is very high.
"Uncle Wang, buy some eggs." Ning Fei knocked on Wang Ji's far door and shouted.
Wang Ji got up very early, and many people rushed to buy eggs early in the morning.
"Ning Fei, you came early enough, how much do you want?" Wang Ji smiled and asked.
"Come on three pounds, I have a guest recently."
"good."
Wang Ji weighed three kilograms of local eggs and handed them to Ning Fei. Ning Fei paid the money and walked back with the eggs.
On the way back, Ning Fei went to Aunt Liu's house and bought some pieces of tofu. Most of the tofu in the village is bought from Aunt Liu. Her tofu is smooth and delicious.
So, carrying eggs and tofu, Ning Fei returned to the Taoist temple.
The puppy kept following him.
The puppy is still too small now, but it is only as big as a hand. It walks very fast and looks very cute.
However, dogs grow relatively quickly and can grow quite a lot in a few months.
When Ning Fei returned to Qingfeng Temple, Jiang Xue had already gotten up. She was holding a broom and sweeping fallen leaves in the yard.
"Good morning, Master." Jiang Xue greeted.
"Morning." Ning Fei replied, "I bought some tofu and eggs this morning. I'll have this for breakfast later."
The breakfast was relatively light, consisting of a scrambled egg, a green onion mixed with tofu, a plate of pickles, and a pot of millet and pumpkin porridge, plus steamed buns, milk, bread, etc. It was just right for two people.
After that, Ning Fei went to the vegetable garden to work some more, pulling some weeds and picking some peppers, and then went to recite the morning prayer for a while. Jiang Xue went to the flower bed to take care of it.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Ning Fei started the live broadcast as scheduled.
"Good morning, Guanzhu Ning!"
As soon as the live broadcast started, many people greeted him. Ning Fei also responded to the camera: "Good morning."
"Will the temple master go up the mountain today?" someone asked.
Ning Fei nodded and said, "Well, it just rained yesterday and after another night, some fungi and wild vegetables will grow wildly. It is the best time to pick them."
"Haha, that's great."
Netizens like to watch Ning Fei enter the mountains. The scene of being close to nature allows them to see many things that they cannot see in the city.
Then, Ning Fei said to Jiang Xue, "I'll go to the mountain and pick some wild vegetables. You can eat whatever you want for lunch, and I'll cook dinner."
"Yeah." Jiang Xue nodded and said.
Then, Ning Fei put on his hiking boots, carried a bamboo basket, and embarked on the journey up the mountain again.
"There are more villagers entering the mountains at this time. Many people in the mountains like to collect mountain products. Occasionally they collect valuable medicinal materials, plants, etc., and they can sell them to support their families."
Ning Fei still took Xiao Falcon up the mountain this time, and Xiao Falcon was now considered Ning Fei's most capable partner.
After hearing what Ning Fei said, some netizens questioned: "Master Ning, won't it damage the ecology if so many people go to pick plants from the mountains?"
Ning Fei also saw this barrage and couldn't help but shook his head and explained:
"Destroy the ecology? Of course not. It's not about cutting down trees randomly. It's just about picking some natural ingredients such as Ganoderma lucidum and fungus."
"People in the mountains grow in the mountains. You can also understand that the people here, like the animals here, will get something they need from this land."
"Moreover, the Forest Law clearly stipulates which plants cannot be picked, and trees are not allowed to be cut down randomly. As long as it is not regulated by the Forest Law, you can pick it under normal circumstances."
"For example, bamboo, Ganoderma lucidum, fungus, wild vegetables, etc."
Ning Fei found it a little strange. Ever since this mountain was inhabited hundreds of years ago, villagers have been gathering wild vegetables, Ganoderma lucidum, and bamboo shoots in the mountains, including relatively precious things like Dendrobium officinale.
This is part of the life of mountain people.
People in cities may have been taught to protect the environment and care for nature since childhood, and believe that trampling on a piece of grass is immoral. But this standard is not suitable for mountains.
Ning Fei didn't want to explain too much. He grew up in the mountains. Since he was a child, his master and villagers often went to the mountains to collect herbs, dig wild vegetables, and eat wild fruits.
This is his life.
