Chapter 45 Digging Wild Vegetables
After hearing Xia Tiezhu's words, Xia Yinzhu stopped working and said with a somewhat uneasy expression: "It seems to be better in the past two days. I don't know if it's because of the medicine. I'll wait and see if it's still needed."
Money, when the time comes to sell Mazar, you can talk to Feier directly. Feier will leave the money with you. When the money is gone, it will be hard for you to account for it. You know that Feier is a little different now than before. She is very fierce.
I’ll scold you.”
Xia Tiezhu smiled disapprovingly at Xia Yinzhu: "Don't worry about that girl, she's just a mouthy girl, she won't really do anything wrong. If she knows about you, she will definitely be willing to help. Look, if Xiao
Fang feels better after taking the medicine. When the time comes, we will directly tell Feier that from now on, we will share some of the money from selling the matza and give it to you."
Xia Yinzhu didn't speak. After a while, he nodded slightly, then lowered his head and started working hard on the work in hand.
After Xia Feier returned home with Baozhu, it was almost noon time. As she said yesterday, from now on, she would have lunch at almost half the afternoon every day. If her father and the others came back late, they would eat it in the evening.
That's okay, it's not time to make lunch now, but Xia Feier was afraid that Baozhu would be hungry, so she warmed up two steamed buns for him.
Baozhu was sitting at the table eating. Xia Feier looked at the food at home and thought about what to eat at night. She had almost eaten all the pork bones, pork kidneys and livers yesterday, and only had some pig intestines left.
Yes, the pig intestines were marinated yesterday. If you fry them in the evening, you can have a meal. But if you just fry them like this, I'm afraid it won't be enough. But I can't find anything else at home. Should I go out and find some?
It’s good to have something to eat with it.
People at this time didn't often eat wild vegetable porridge or anything like that. Even Xia Feier ate it every day. There must be wild vegetables and wild mushrooms on the hills near the fields. You could dig them up and eat them. Yesterday, I made a pig's head or something.
, I got some lard. It should be good to stir-fry wild vegetables with lard. Although wild vegetables are unpalatable to eat every day, they should be good to eat as side dishes. Why not go there and have a look.
Thinking about this, Xia Feier called to Baozhu: "Baozhu, eat quickly. When we finish eating, let's ask Sister Yuanxiang and the others to dig some wild vegetables on the top of the mountain. When we come back in the evening, I will fry the wild vegetables with lard for you to eat."
Baozhu didn't care what he ate. When he heard that there was some food and he could go to the top of the mountain to play, he immediately stuffed all the buns in his mouth into his mouth, then puffed out his cheeks and said inarticulately: "Yeah
"Sister, I've finished eating, let's leave now."
Seeing Baozhu stuffed all over his mouth and his neck choked by Wowotou as he stretched forward, Xia Feier smiled and patted his back, and said with a smile: "Slow down, I didn't say no."
I’ll take you there and wait until you’ve finished eating before we go again, sister is waiting for you.”
Baozhu swallowed the steamed buns in his mouth with difficulty, looked at Xia Feier and smiled: "Sister, I'm done eating. Let's go and call Bao'er and let's go play up there together." After that,
, dragging Xia Feier to go out.
Xia Feier was dragged out by Baozhu in a hurry. When she arrived at Yuanxiang's house, her second uncle and aunt were not there. They must have gone to work in the fields. Yuanxiang took Agarwood with him, and Shuixiang was in the courtyard with the little girl.
Sitting in front of the table doing embroidery, Bao'er was playing in the courtyard alone. Seeing Bao Zhu and Fei'er coming, Bao'er was very happy, called "Sister Fei'er", and took Bao Zhu to play aside.
Yuan Xiang saw Fei'er and the two coming, but didn't get up. She just held the thread and looked at Fei'er with a smile and said, "Girl Fei'er, where are you going with a basket on your back?"
Fei'er put the basket on the small table, picked up the embroidery work in Yuan Xiang's hand, looked at it and said with a smile: "We haven't gone anywhere, but Baozhu is making noises about going to the top of the mountain to play. I'm here to ask you to go together. By the way,
Let’s see if we can dig some wild vegetables back to eat, there won’t be enough food at home tonight.”
Hearing this, Yuan Xiang looked up at Xia Feier and asked, "Is your sister-in-law back yet?"
"No, I went out early yesterday morning and haven't come back. I don't know where I went?" Xia Feier answered nonchalantly.
"Where else can she go? She hasn't returned to her parents' home yet. After a few days, I guess Brother Jin Zhu's anger has subsided and she will definitely come back." Yuan Xiang curled her lips and said.
"Yeah." Xia Feier nodded.
Xia Feier sat in Yuanxiang's yard for a while. After Yuanxiang finished the embroidery work in his hand, he led a group of small children to the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain is not far from home. A group of people arrived within a quarter of an hour of walking. This was Xia Feier's first time to come to this mountain. Originally, Xia Feier heard Xia Tiezhu and others say that there was no prey on this mountain top last time, so she thought it was nothing.
It was a bare hilltop, with just a few trees at most. But I didn't expect this, and found that this hilltop was much bigger than I thought.
There are many wild trees, wild fruits, and wild vegetables on the mountain, but there must have been many people here, and all the edible wild fruits were picked. As for the wild vegetables, many people must have come to dig them, and there are traces of digging in many places.
Since it was the first time for Xia Feier to come to this mountain, she was not very familiar with it. At first she just followed Yuan Xiang and looked around.
As soon as Baozhu arrived at the top of the mountain, he and Baoer had a great time playing. Yuanxiang told Shuixiang that Shuixiang was watching them over there, and there must be a few people having fun there.
Xia Feier followed Yuan Xiang and Chen Xiang around the top of the mountain for a long time. They all gained something. Everyone put some wild vegetables in their baskets. Yuan Xiang felt that it was almost done, so he called Xia Feier and said: "
Fei'er, the wild vegetables are almost here, they can be eaten for one or two meals, otherwise they will become stale after being stored for a long time. If you want to eat them, let's come back next time."
Xia Feier responded with her mouth, but her eyes were attracted by some small mushrooms growing under a tree. Xia Feier couldn't tell what kind of mushrooms they were specifically, but looking at them, they looked plump and shaped like an umbrella pointing downwards.
And the color is milky white, which is somewhat similar to the ordinary mushrooms eaten in her previous life. Xia Feier has seen this kind of mushroom on the mountain in her previous life. When she was a child, she and some friends picked and roasted them on the mountain.
Xia Feier felt happy, thinking that these mushrooms are the best for making soup. Since there are them under this tree, they must be under other trees. Just when she was about to reach out to pick them, she was grabbed by Yuan Xiang behind her.
: "Fei'er, what are you doing? You can't eat this thing. My father said that except for the wild vegetables we often dig and eat, don't eat unfamiliar things on the mountains. These things are poisonous.
A few years ago, someone in the village ate this and was poisoned to death."
Of course, Xia Feier knew that there were many mushrooms that would be poisonous if eaten. She didn't know much about these, but she still knew the basic common sense. Moreover, she had eaten this mushroom when she was a child. She smiled at Yuan Xiang: "Yeah
, Got it, Sister Yuanxiang, but this mushroom is edible. I have picked it before and it is delicious in soup. If you don’t believe me, I will make it later. Come to my house and try it. "
Yuan Xiang was hesitant about Xia Feier's words. After thinking for a while, she felt that it was for safety's sake, so she took Xia Feier's arm to stop her: "No matter whether you can eat it or not, you don't want to eat well anyway. If you don't have anything to eat at home,
Hey, I'll give you all the wild vegetables in the basket, and you can take them back. It's better not to pick the wild mushrooms, otherwise something will happen if you eat them."
Xia Feier knew that Yuan Xiang was nervous about herself, so she grinned at Yuan Xiang, bent down and picked the mushrooms into her basket, and said: "Sister Yuan Xiang, believe me, it will be fine. I will always
You won't risk your life just to eat such a few mushrooms, right? I've really eaten this before, and it's definitely edible. Let's look for it everywhere, and you can pick some back." After Xia Feier finished speaking, she pulled the stool.
He walked forward holding Yuan Xiang's hand, saying that he would pick more and take them back so that he could have a good meal at night.
Seeing that Xia Feier said so confidently, Yuan Xiang could no longer doubt it. She followed behind Xia Feier and helped her pick mushrooms. Then she picked the mushrooms and asked Xia Feier, "Feier, your sister-in-law."
If you are not at home these days, what will you and your family eat? You won’t all be hungry after a meal, right?"
Xia Feier felt that Yuan Xiang must have seen her picking mushrooms that were said to be poisonous, and must have thought that she was really hungry, so she didn't even care about life and death, but it was difficult to say it clearly, so she asked this question
she.
Xia Feier laughed, looked at Yuan Xiang and said, "Sister Yuan Xiang, didn't I tell you yesterday? From now on, I will be the head of the family. My father gave me the money, and my eldest brother gave me the food and other things at home."
I took them all out. In addition, my father helped kill pigs yesterday, so there was some pig head meat and some pig offal left at home. I got them all. Our whole family has been well fed these days and we are not hungry.
Don't worry, let the second uncle and the second aunt not worry either."
"Ah? My uncle really asked you to be the head of the family, and even Brother Jin Zhu agreed?" Yuan Xiang heard this and looked at Xia Feier with wide eyes and asked.
"Yes, we all agree." Xia Feier said.
Seeing that Xia Feier didn't seem to be lying, Yuan Xiang was completely convinced. She smiled and nodded: "Well, that's good. At least you won't be hungry in the future. But with such a big family, the head of the family is not the same."
It’s a good idea. There are a lot of things to do. If there is anything missing at home in the future, just come to my house to get it.”
"Yes, yes. I don't know how to do a lot of things at home. I will ask you and my second aunt when I get some free time." Xia Feier said as she walked forward.
A few people were chatting and picking mushrooms everywhere. When Xia Feier picked a basket full of mushrooms, they realized that Yuan Xiang and Chen Xiang had gone far away to pick mushrooms. Xia Feier was carrying a basket full of mushrooms.
It was still a bit difficult to load the things, so she put the basket on the ground and planned to look around.
Xia Feier walked into the mountain by herself. The further you went into the mountain, the denser the trees were and the more things there were. Xia Feier didn't go very far when she discovered a bamboo forest inside.
She actually discovered a lot of bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. Xia Feier immediately went to find a sharp stone and dug for a long time to dig out a few small bamboo shoots.
