Autumn was coming soon, so Zhao Liya simply bought some fine and thick cotton cloth, and also bought a few pieces of leather to embroider the soles of shoes to keep them warmer.
I have also reserved a few quilts and will pick them up in half a month.
Now is the season when there are more mushrooms of all kinds, so Zhao Liya and Hu Ling plan to go into the mountains to look for them again.
No matter what kind of mushrooms you find, take them home and dry them, and you will have an extra dish in winter. You can fry them for daily use, or make some mushroom sauce.
There is no need to go out of your way to find the precious Hericium and Morel mushrooms, or go to the remote mountains where there are few people. Widow Qu had also gone to the mountains and forests to look for mushrooms in previous years, so we all just went together.
Widow Qu, Qu Yutao, Aunt Li Shiyi, Deng Shi, Zhao Xiang and their two children simply went up the mountain.
The two children have been here for so long and have never been to the mountains. They are very happy. They bring their two chubby puppies Dabao and Xiaobao with them. It is very lively for the whole family to go out.
In this case, it’s not really about looking for mushrooms, it’s just an autumn outing.
Deng and Zhao Xiang were very happy. When he was in the capital, he was busy with government affairs, and it was rare for his family to have the opportunity to travel together like this. Unexpectedly, it would come true today.
At this time of year, many wild fruits in the mountains are ripe. Zhao Liya actually knows a lot of them, but she doesn’t dare to show that she knows them.
Fortunately, Aunt Li Shiyi and Widow Qu knew each other.
They talked about edible wild fruits, and Zhao Liya, Qu Yutao, and Hu Ling picked a lot. The two children were very excited. They ate wild fruits, caught grasshoppers, and wished they could roll all over the mountain like two puppies.
Laughter like silver bells filled the hillside.
Strangely, two plump puppies, Xiao Guixiao, actually chased a hare out of the grass!
When the two children saw the hare running out of the grass in panic, they were almost crazy with excitement: "Ahhh! Rabbit! Rabbit!"
The hare must have been so frightened by their screams that it panicked and bumped into Hu Ling's leg. It somersaulted and fell backwards. Hu Ling's quick eyesight and quick hands quickly caught it.
Everyone laughed. It’s rare to sit back and wait in the live version. You can add dishes in the evening.
In the fir forest, among the thick fir leaves, everyone found a lot of red fungi, fir fungi, and a kind of gray fungus.
After half a day, the two backpacks were filled to the brim.
We also found several wild persimmon trees scattered in the forest and mountains, and mountain grapes climbing on the leafy trees.
Zhao Liya smiled and said: "Let's remember this place and wait until these mountain grapes and persimmons are ripe before we come here to pick them."
Aunt Li Shiyi laughed when she heard this and said: "Oh, there is no need to remember this thing. There are so many in the mountains. We also have many in Zaihu Village. If you want it, let us know when the time comes.
, let the villagers take you to pick it!"
Zhao Liya smiled and said: "Really? Then I will remember it!"
"Okay," Aunt Li Shiyi laughed heartily: "I will go with you then!"
Everyone went home in the afternoon and processed various fungi. They also killed the fat rabbit. In the evening, they stir-fried it with ginger, onion, garlic, and mushrooms. It was very appetizing. The two little guys also ate very well and cherished it. Sure enough,
The fruits of your own labor are different.
Zhao Liya and the others searched for mushrooms in the mountains for several days, and they harvested a lot. The dustpan in the yard was full of sunshine. Under the sun, the fresh fragrance of the mushrooms was full.
After it is dried, put it away and use it to stew soup, make dry pot, stir-fry meat, and stir-fry vegetables in winter. Not all of them are good things.
They were lucky enough to find two more Ganoderma lucidum plants. Although one plant was only slightly larger than the palm of your hand, it was Ganoderma lucidum after all. Keep it in the sun and cut it into slices when making soup. It is also nourishing to the body.
Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Aunt Li Shiyi was thinking about going back.
Although she has entrusted people to take care of her vegetable garden and fields, she still has to go back and take a look. Furthermore, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunions. Although her husband is gone, her family is, so she always has to go back to enjoy the occasion.
, her married daughter will also go home before the festival to worship her ancestors together.
So Deng discussed with Zhao Liya and prepared a very generous gift for her to take back.
Zhao Liya made a special trip to the city and bought two boxes of moon cakes, two boxes of snacks, five or six kilograms of pork belly, and several kilograms of dried mushrooms picked a few days ago.
Zhao Liya also paid her wages, which was six cents of silver in August, which was three months. Zhao Liya also gave her an extra cent, which was regarded as a red envelope.
Mrs. Deng was reluctant to leave and repeatedly warned: "Sister-in-law is reluctant to leave home. She will stay for a few more days after the holidays, but don't forget to come back again! If you are not here, we will be very bored."
Zhao Liya also smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if Aunt Eleven doesn't come. We will pick her up when the time comes, and Aunt Eleven will be embarrassed not to come."
Everyone laughed loudly when he said this, and Aunt Li Shiyi also nodded with a smile: "Come on, I'm sure to come!"
The Zhao family really welcomed her here, and she could certainly feel it. She was also happy to live here, relaxed and not bored.
Zhao Liya, Hu Ling, and Qu Yutao personally sent her back. Zhao Liya actually felt quite guilty. She had her own little thoughts. Leaving Aunt Eleven behind was actually a shield. With Aunt Li Eleven here,
He has a lot of worries about his family and has blocked a lot of trouble for them.
When Aunt Li Shiyi returned to the village, everyone saw her radiant face and brought back so many things and wages. They were all envious and said that she was so lucky! Aunt Li Shiyi was also very proud, and inevitably she boasted about it.
Praise the Zhao family.
Everyone said: If the Zhao family is good, why should you say it?
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, every household is willing to buy a box of moon cakes, cut a few kilograms of meat or kill a chicken, and it's all thanks to the Zhao family!
Aunt Li Shiyi's daughter Li Xiaoying was married to the Pan family in Bajiao Village, which is adjacent to Zaihu Village. Her son-in-law Pan Erzhu, her grandson, and her granddaughters Liang Geer and Xiaoduo went back to her parents' home to see her before the Mid-Autumn Festival. They saw her beaming with joy and complexion.
Excellent, then I found out that she was working in Yancun.
Although the two villages are adjacent to each other, each family is busy with their own affairs on weekdays. Naturally, it is impossible to inquire about the affairs of the parents' family or go back to the parents' house every day, unless something happens.
Li Xiaoying felt sorry for her mother. When she came back with her husband and children during the New Year, she would always bring a lot of holiday gifts. The only thing she felt guilty about was that all the money at home was in the hands of her mother-in-law, and she had nothing to do with it. There was no job for a woman to earn a ready-made income.
, but this cannot be given to the mother.
Unexpectedly, when she came back this time, her mother actually brought out mooncakes, pastries, and even peanut candies for her children to eat. Li Xiaoying was shocked and said hurriedly: "Mom, why did you buy so many things? They eat them."
It’s the same if you don’t eat it, kid, this is too wasteful! You have to keep the money for yourself!”
