The Sweet Little Fulang

Shen Xuanqing put down the scooter leaning against the wall, packed it up today, and can go directly tomorrow morning.

Lu Gu had already prepared two long chicken coops, about the same length as the trolley, and squeezed seven ducks and eight chickens into them.

The chicken coop is placed on the trolley first, and the chickens and ducks can be caught and stuffed into it tomorrow morning.

There was still a gap in the scooter. Shen Xuanqing picked up the sack containing wild bath beads and put it on it. Lu Gu picked two baskets and poured them into the sack, which was more than half full. It was really heavy.

Don't look at this thing is not very valuable, a copper plate can buy a lot, but everyone can't do without it. In winter, there are few and small knots in the wild bath bead tree. It's always right to pick more at this time. Sell ​​some money.

After tying up the mushroom pockets, Lu Gu looked at the wild vegetables he had been drying. The purslane was the most. He dried a sack full of them. Not to mention six people, ten people were enough to eat.

There are also other dried wild vegetables. There are not too many sacks and sacks to be separated, so they are packed together. There are also a lot of half sacks. When you want to eat, you can soak them in water, whether they are boiled and fried, or packed with wild vegetables and buns and stewed.

Ground vegetables and black fungus are rarer than wild vegetables. Lu Gu packed them in clean cloth pockets. There are fewer black fungus.

After the medicinal herb Lu Gu has been sun-dried and dried, the bundles that should be bundled have already been tied up, most of which are mugwort leaves, and a sack is made. Fortunately, after drying, it will become lighter and not so heavy.

The fruits of wolfberry, dogwood, and dogwood were put into pockets. During this time, the wolfberry fruit has gradually lost its popularity. There are not so many. Three or four pockets are placed under the bamboo basket, and then camellia and medicinal materials are put in. A bamboo basket is worth it. Finished.

As for the sweet nest root, Lu Gu didn't dig more, and only had five or six left to eat in the past few days, and it was steamed when it came up at home, so he didn't need to take it with him after eating.

"Do you want to take the chestnuts and hazelnuts?" Lu Gu asked as he took out the bamboo basket containing the medicinal materials.

Apart from the chestnuts that were picked up by the family before, the two of them later picked up some chestnuts in the woods when they wanted to eat them, and today there are still some left over to eat.

"There's more at home, how much? If you don't have much, take it with you." Shen Xuanqing walked over as she spoke.

"There's not much left, there's only a little left, I'll go and pretend." Lu Gu replied, that's why he asked when he knew there was something at home.

"Yeah." Shen Xuanqing agreed. Seeing that the bamboo baskets were full of medicinal materials, he took it and said, "It's too cold at night, so I'll put it in the main room first, so I can see it at any time so I don't worry about forgetting it."

"Okay." Lu Gu nodded, and brought out the cloth pockets in the low house.

A bag of dried mushrooms, half a bag of black fungus, a bag of dried ground vegetables, and a cloth bag of wild camellia. The dry goods were relatively light. He glanced at the trolley. back down.

The badger and the hare and pheasant will be brought down tomorrow. It is not a problem to put these wild things in the sack, but they have to leave a space, otherwise it will be difficult to carry.

Shen Xuanqing came to the low house to take a look again, and said, "The purslane and mugwort leaves are not heavy, so put them on the chicken coop. Tomorrow, the car will be packed and bundled with hemp rope, so you won't be afraid of falling."

After he finished speaking, he started. After the two sacks were taken out, Lu Gu saw that there was only food left in the low house, and he had nothing to bring, so he took out the bamboo basket, closed the door and locked it, and the low house was considered finished.

I don't need to take the salt, dried chili, etc. in the kitchen. I have to take a small jar of honey with me. As for the pickled vegetable jar, Lu Gu opened it and looked at it. pimple.

Yangui countrymen buy less, so they pickle more pickled vegetables. After all, pickles use a lot of salt, and most people can’t afford them. Lu Gu learned to pickle pickles after he arrived at Shen’s house. The hot and sour cowpeas marinated in lotus flowers also guarded him.

After the salty pimples are marinated, they can be sliced ​​and shredded. The slicing is usually eaten by holding the steamed bread in the hand, and the shredding is done with chopsticks when eating.

The last time I went home, Ji Qiuyue also cut the salty lumps into small pieces, and then chopped some ginger, poured hot oil on top, and squeaked, and then mixed the **** and pickles, the oil was salty and oily. , break open the hot white flour steamed buns and put them in. It is very fragrant to eat only this without the vegetables.

Ginger is a good thing to dispel cold and warm the stomach, but there are not so many minced ginger, and the **** taste is quite mild.

The pickles used a lot of salt, and Jin Gui said. The last time they went to a restaurant, although they only ordered meat, Lu Gu heard that someone in the restaurant wanted pickles to drink. It seems to be fifteen cents or how much, which is precious.

He was a little reluctant to squat in front of the jar, and when Shen Xuanqing came in, he said in a low voice, "Eat some today and tomorrow, and I want to take a bowl and take the rest."

He looked reluctant, and Shen Xuanqing couldn't help laughing, and said, "Just bring it."

The mountain road is far, Da Hui and Da Bai have to run for a long time when they go back, and Shen Yaoqing and the others will have to walk up for a while. Lu Gu cooked more for lunch, but did not wait, and ate with Shen Xuanqing first.

In the afternoon, when Lu Gu was packing the clothes of the two of them, he heard the **** barking in the courtyard and ran out.

He hurriedly went outside the courtyard with Shen Xuanqing, and soon saw Wei Lanxiang, Shen Yaoqing and Shen Yan, Da Hei and Dog Cub running up beside them, their tails wagging happily.

"Mother, big brother." Shen Xuanqing shouted, and Lu Gu also shouted.

Da Hui Dabai didn't keep up, and the dogs were tired from running back and forth on such a long way, so I left them at home to rest.

Tired and hungry after walking all the way, Lu Gu first went to the kitchen and ordered the stove to heat up the food.

"Brother Guzi, look at the silk flower on my head." Shen Yan approached Lu Gu and said with a smile.

There is a small light yellow silk flower next to the two buns on her head. It is quite beautiful. Lu Gu's eyebrows and eyes are slightly curved, and he said, "It's so beautiful."

Shen Yan was even happier, when she heard Wei Lanxiang say that there was a badger outside, and she only needed to cook the fire without help, so she went to the firewood room to see the badger.

When the food was ready to be served, Shen Xuanqing and Lu Gu had nothing else to do, so they lit the brazier and sat next to them to bake. He casually asked, "Auntie is at home?"

This is a common saying, but Shen Yaoqing, who was eating, didn't swallow anything in his mouth and couldn't speak, but he looked up and smiled a little silly, Wei Lanxiang was even more happy, and said, "Your sister-in-law is happy. "

"The mountain road is too far to let her up." Shen Yaoqing said with a smile.

Shen Xuanqing was a little surprised, and immediately laughed. Ding Xingwang, his family member, was naturally happy and said, "Those few rabbits and pheasants will not be sold, and they will make up for my sister-in-law."

"Okay." Shen Yaoqing didn't refuse, she naturally wanted to eat better when she was pregnant.

Shen Yan was still young, and she was only a half-year-old child, but she knew that she would have a nephew or niece, so there was no reason to be unhappy.

Lu Gu was no exception. The Shen family treated him well. Ji Qiuyue was pregnant, so of course he was also happy. Thinking of Nier calling him mammy, he thought that in the future, there will be a little child in their family who will call him mama.

—

It is not easy to build a house in the deep mountains. There are only two rooms that can sleep people. Because Shen Yaoqing came up, his brothers slept in the east room, and Lu Gu and Wei Lanxiang and Shen Yan were in the west room.

Early the next morning, I was not in a hurry, and the family did not get up and pack up until the sun came out.

Wei Lanxiang and Shen Yan were cooking and burning fire in the kitchen, while Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing were holding sacks in the firewood room to pack badgers.

This thing is not too small, and it is so fat. It takes 2 sacks to catch 15 or 6 badgers. There are 6 or 7 badgers alive. These days, they have been tying their front paws and mouth with ropes. Untie the rope on the mouth, otherwise they will burrow and escape, and the teeth will be too sharp.

The dog followed into the firewood room, and when he saw the fat badgers on the ground, he barked at them. The live badgers kicked their legs, and they rushed up to bite. The badgers had thick and durable fur. The back of the neck was pulled away.

The puppy is smart. He has seen the big gray shove the rabbit. Shen Xuanqing has also trained it. He knows to let go. After being thrown out of the woodshed, he heard Lu Gu's movement in the room, so he wagged his tail and went in to rub his legs.

After all the bedding was folded, rolled and stuffed into the big box, Lu Gu folded his and Shen Xuanqing's thick winter clothes and put them on the bundle. The two thin clothes didn't need to be taken with them if they didn't wear them in winter.

As for the book in the box, Lu Gu hesitated for a while and didn't dare to touch it. Still, Shen Xuanqing put on a badger and walked out of the woodshed. When he saw him stunned and motionless from the window, he walked to the window and asked, "What's the matter? ?"

Lu Gu hurriedly turned around, unable to speak.

Shen Xuanqing stood in front of the window and saw the box. Seeing his posture, his cheeks were a little red, and he knew what was going on at once. There were many people in the courtyard. He lowered his voice and said, "Take it."

"Er Qing, do you have this basket of straw velvet belt?" Shen Yaoqing asked in the firewood room.

"Take it." After Shen Xuanqing finished speaking, he didn't dare to look at Lu Gu's face, so he went to the backyard to catch chickens and ducks, so that he could put them in the chicken coop and take them down.

The straw velvet was collected by Lu Gu. In addition to this basket, there is a small pile in the corner of the firewood room, which will be useful when you come up to light the pot next year.

The burden was packed, and only the two of them knew about the book hidden in the clothes.

After eating and drinking, Lu Gu neatly tidied up the kitchen and installed the outer panel truck. After patrolling around, there was nothing else to take with him, so the group of five went out the door with their backs on their backs.

The burden was originally meant to be carried by Shen Yan, which was lighter than a bamboo basket, but now that there was something in it that could not be seen, Lu Gu did not dare to let others carry it.

Shen Yan was carrying a basket of grass velvet, and Wei Lanxiang was carrying a basket of dried mushrooms and black fungus, with Lu Gu's sewing basket in it.

The basket for the medicinal materials was heavy, and Shen Yaoqing was carrying it on his back. He and Shen Xuanqing took turns pulling the cart, and now Shen Xuanqing pulled it first.

Lu Gu closed all the doors that should be closed, and fastened the window bolts. When he locked the courtyard door, he saw that there were still some autumn vegetables left in the courtyard.

This kind of vegetable can live until early winter. If it is planted in the ground without digging, sometimes you can see some greenery after snowing. Dig out and remove the frozen and rotten leaves. The thick stems are usually not eaten, but the elders grow thick in early winter , After being frozen, it will not be so astringent. Peel off the skin and cut it into slices and blanch it in water. You can also fry fresh vegetables.

There are a lot of plants at the bottom of the mountain, both in front of the yard and behind the house. Although these autumn vegetables are a bit unfortunate, Lu Gu didn't dig it. There are many things on the trolley, so I can't take everything with me.

After he locked the door, he turned around and walked down the mountain with Shen Xuanqing and the others. Da Hei ran in front of him, the puppy chased the big dog and barked, his ears twitched as he ran, and his body seemed to be upside down, hurrying on his way. It was also excited when there were so many people, and the barking of dogs echoed in the desolate forest.

The wind is rustling, the dead leaves are all over the ground, it's time to go home.
