The next day, Ning Fei continued to work on the stone tablet.
He found some red bricks and a bag of cement, mixed the cement, and then used the red bricks to build a cubic monument base, which was then smoothed with cement.
The stone tablet has been buried in the ground by him.
At this time, the words engraved on the stone tablet had been painted by Ning Fei with golden paint, making them very eye-catching.
Looking at Ning Fei's action of applying cement, some netizens said:
"Ning Guanzhu's action of applying cement makes him look like someone who has actually done farm work!"
"This is not difficult. Basically men in rural areas can do it."
"Well, many places in the village need to be repaired, plastered with cement, and plastered with walls. These are all normal operations."
"It's not difficult to put cement on it, but it's not easy to build a monument like that. You can try it."
"The correct answer is upstairs. Look carefully at the surface and four sides of the monument. It is very level and smooth. This requires craftsmanship."
"After all, it's Master Ning!"
The stone tablet was erected, just waiting to dry.
The stone tablet is erected on the right side of the gate of Qingfengguan. Go up the bluestone steps and arrive in front of the door. The stone tablet is on the right side.
"It looks like this, it has some artistic conception."
Ning Fei was very satisfied with the shape of the stone tablet.
He had also considered before whether to carve something on the stone tablet. After all, he now had the skills.
After thinking about it later, I decided to forget it.
The square shape of the stone tablet is very good, and it is a housestone in the mountains. The carved shape is not good-looking.
"With this stone monument erected, the entrance will definitely feel different."
"Yes, Guanzhu Ning's designs are always very artistic."
In front of the Qingfengguan gate, Ning Fei stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the stone tablet.
The wind blew, and the fallen leaves on the ground floated, giving the atmosphere of the live broadcast a bit of a desolate feeling.
"It's autumn, and the mountains in autumn are full of different colors. If it's a pine forest, it's still green. The leaves in other places vary in color from orange to yellow. It's beautiful to look at."
"The animals are also busy and preparing to hibernate."
“In the mountains and forests in autumn, there will be less life.”
Ning Fei looked at the stone steps, which were covered with fallen leaves. They had just finished sweeping them in the morning and were covered with leaves in the afternoon.
The leaves on the trees usually don't look like much, but after they really started to fall, there was a thick layer on the ground every day, and there were a lot of them.
"Dear viewers, I am going to the grassland in the next two days to attend the wedding of my college classmate."
"I will stay there for a while and show everyone the scenery of the grassland."
“Compared with the lushness and vitality of the mountains and forests, the grasslands represent endless freedom.”
“It’s also a wonderful feeling to see the cattle and sheep there when the wind blows and the grass is low.”
Ning Fei spoke gently, his voice was not high, but netizens heard it very clearly.
"Ning Guanzhu has another classmate getting married?"
Some netizens were surprised.
"Should I still be the best man?"
"Going to the grassland? Great, I haven't seen the grassland yet."
"Yes, it would be great if we could see the grassland."
"I suddenly became excited."
Ning Fei also felt some yearning in his heart.
He added: "Autumn is not only a season of falling leaves, but also a season of harvest."
"There are fruits all year round in the mountains. Different fruits are eaten in different seasons, and they are most abundant in autumn."
"It just so happens that I have some free time today. I'll go find some wild fruits and taste the mountain flavor."
With that said, Ning Fei immediately returned to Qingfeng Temple, picked up the bamboo basket and walked out.
This time, he was not in a hurry, so he walked slowly.
"Swish, swish!"
Ning Fei stepped on fallen leaves with every step, making a rustling sound. This sound will feel very comfortable to the ears.
I have to say that the cleaning workers in the city are really hard-working. As soon as autumn arrives, when people are still sleeping at 6:00 or 7 in the morning, they are already up and cleaning the roads.
Therefore, it is difficult for people living in cities to experience the relaxing feeling of stepping on fallen leaves.
In the live broadcast, Ning Fei was wearing a Taoist robe and walking on fallen leaves. Netizens only thought the artistic conception was very beautiful.
It seems that in people's perception, the word Taoist priest should have been associated with the bleak fallen leaves.
Ning Fei found a forest path from the main road and walked in. He searched in the forest and took a closer look when he encountered bushes.
"Huh?"
"Look here, everyone, this is called August melon, and its scientific name is Sanmu Tong."
At this time, Ning Fei's eyes lit up, and he smiled and found a bunch of purple-red fruits the size of sweet potatoes from the bushes.
"August melons are good things. They are also called wild bananas. They start to ripen in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, so they are called August melons. Purple-red ones like this mean they are ripe."
"August melon has many functions, including clearing heat and removing dampness, activating blood circulation, promoting qi and relieving pain. It has obvious medical effects on many diseases."
"Everyone, look at this melon. It has cracked. Cracking means it is ripe and can be eaten directly."
Netizens were already curious about everything in the mountains. After Ning Fei found the August Melon, everyone looked at it attentively.
Ning Fei opened the fruit and took out the white pulp inside. The pulp looked like dragon fruit.
Ning Fei took a bite and felt the fragrance was sweet, so he smiled and said:
"This fruit is very sweet. When I was a child, on the way home from school, I liked to crawl around in the dense forest just to find August fruits to eat."
"It tastes the same now, very sweet."
Netizens couldn't help but swallowed when they saw Ning Fei's expression.
This fruit is only sold in specific areas and is not a common fruit, so many people have never seen it.
Ning Fei put all the remaining August fruits into the bamboo basket and continued to look for them.
Ning Fei should be the one who knows where there are fruits on the mountain. After all, when the corresponding season comes every year, he will go to the mountains to find fruits to eat.
This was also one of the joys of his childhood.
Ning Fei walked forward for a while. Suddenly, he pointed ahead and said:
"Everyone, look here, it's a wild chestnut."
Netizens looked through the drone footage and saw many fruits on the branches of a tree. Those fruits were wrapped in green, spiny shells, and many people could not recognize what they were.
"Is this chestnut?"
"Aren't chestnuts brown? They are like roasted chestnuts. Could it be that wild chestnuts are different?"
"Brothers, chestnuts look like this. You need to peel off the thorny shell to get the brown fruit you mentioned."
"I really didn't know that. I thought chestnuts were just brown."
"Normally, you generally don't see wild chestnuts in cities, they are all peeled fruits."
Netizens started discussing again.
Ning Fei also said at this time:
"Chestnuts are delicious but very difficult to pick. When I was young, my neighbor and I would go to the wild to hunt chestnuts. Sometimes we would be hit by chestnut balls and it would hurt for several days."
"But the temptation of delicious food is endless. Whether it's fried chestnuts or chestnut stewed chicken, they are all very delicious."
After hearing Ning Fei's description, netizens felt like their mouths were watering again.
Someone exclaimed, "Ning Guanzhu, it's a pity that you don't want to be a sales anchor. I want to eat fried chestnuts after just saying a few words."
Ning Fei is tall now, so picking chestnuts is not difficult.
"When you pick chestnuts, you must look for chestnuts with cracks."
"It shows maturity when the seams are open."
"You can also pick chestnuts that naturally fall off the ground. If you peel off the outer layer, you will find a smooth and tender fruit."
"Everyone should also pay attention when peeling the shell. If possible, it is best to wear gloves, otherwise it is easy to be punctured by chestnuts."
As Ning Fei spoke, he peeled chestnuts and put all the peeled chestnuts into the bamboo basket.
After staying under the tree for a while, I also peeled a lot of chestnuts.
"I had fried chestnuts to eat tonight." Ning Fei said to himself.
Ning Fei continued walking into the forest. There were so many chestnut trees in this mountain area that he could encounter wild chestnuts every few steps he took.
Netizens were very envious when they saw such a scene.
When Ning Fei encountered a chestnut tree, he found a few big and good chestnuts and picked them. This kind of chestnut was ripe and the most delicious.
At this time, Ning Fei saw a little squirrel peeling chestnuts on the chestnut tree in front of him, probably to store chestnuts for the winter.
Ning Fei remembered that he had "robbed" a little squirrel some time ago.
So, Ning Fei went over and peeled several chestnuts and put them on the tree, which could be regarded as helping the squirrel.
The squirrel looked at Ning Fei curiously, then held the chestnuts in both hands, stuffed one, two, or three into his mouth, and then ran away with his mouth full.
Seeing the way it stuffed chestnuts, Ning Fei found it particularly interesting and laughed.
The autumn wind comes out, the leaves rustle, and another large group of leaves floats down.
Looking at the trees full of chestnuts, Ning Fei thought to himself that what best represents autumn should not be desolation, but a bumper harvest.
