Chapter 0101: Treasures of the Mountains and Fields
Because it was close to noon, Cummingsong simply did not leave the creek, anyway, the environment is good, and it can be used as the best place for a picnic.
The two began to divide and cooperate, Kang Mingsong began to dig the soil and repair the stove to make a fire, and plucked 5 pheasants and cleaned up the internal organs, which was a latter job Kang Mingsong originally didn't like to do, but now there is no one else, he can only do it himself, and he can't let Yuan Bingya, a girl, do this?
Yuan Bingyan was collecting firewood in the nearby woods, and things were going in an orderly manner.
Before Kang Mingsong's water could boil, Yuan Tianchu ran back with a hare with an arrow stuck in his body.
Kang Mingsong brought a lot of equipment and spices this time, and this lunch was extremely rich, and it took less than an hour to feast.
Yuan Tianchu was full of praise for Kang Mingsong's craftsmanship, and at the same time asked him for marksmanship. Although Yuan Tianchu was a little angry when he lost the game, the more he thought about it now, the more he was impressed by Kang Mingsong's marksmanship.
In a flock of flying pheasants, being able to quickly hit four pheasants with seven bullets is absolutely excellent. It's even more difficult than hitting a moving target.
Kang Mingsong didn't hide it, and told Yuan Tianchu some of his experiences. In fact, this is not very useful, after all, the marksmanship thing, three points depend on practice, and seven points depend on talent.
Yuan Tianchu was a little stunned when he learned that Kang Mingsong could still hit four out of seven shots without hunting for three years. Then, he looked at Kang Mingsong with stars in his eyes, like a little fan.
Kang Mingsong's heart is secretly refreshed, and he can recover the arrogant Yuan Tianchu, but it is rare, not to mention that he is also the younger brother of his girlfriend Yuan Bingya.
He really wanted to say don't worship my brother, you must know that my brother's best marksmanship is not this, and the other marksmanship is a hundred shots.
It's just that Yuan Bingyan is by his side, and he really can't say such meat words.
Yuan Bingya didn't have any thoughts about Kang Mingsong's marksmanship, as a girl, she had no interest in shooting, and she didn't know what Kang Mingsong's marksmanship meant.

After eating and drinking, the three of them lay on the big rock by the stream and basked in the sun for a while, and after resting for a while, they got up and set off to continue today's mountain climbing journey.
After setting off again, Kang Mingsong and the others did not go deep into those rare old forests, but walked around the neighborhood, picking wild fruits and vegetables, and digging up some medicinal herbs.
Qianhui Mountain, which has just entered May, is still in late spring because of its high altitude. This is a season of abundant products, and it is simply an exposition of wild fruits and vegetables.
Tea bubbles, tea slices, ground bubbles, prickly bubbles and other extremely rare wild fruits in the market abound here, and such as cat ear convulsions, wild shiitake mushrooms, wild garlic, thorny old sprouts, etc. are also everywhere, but let Kang Mingsong relive the happiness of childhood.
When I was a child, children in the countryside had no way to be entertained, and unlike the city children who are now sent to various cram schools all day long, they spent most of their time playing in the woods, for them, this forest was their paradise.
In the forest, there is everything delicious and fun, and it also leaves the best memories of Kang Mingsong's childhood.
If it were changed to the past, Kang Mingsong, who had the pressure to buy a car and a house, would definitely not be able to enjoy it as much as he is now, and now he is really enjoying the touching that nature brings him.
Although Yuan Bingyan and her brothers also went back to their hometown in the countryside when they were children, their hometown is different from Kang Mingsong's family, although it is also a mountainous area, there is no such a big mountain, and there is no such abundant mountain goods.

Tea bubble is the fruit of the Camellia oleifera tree, that is, the metamorphosis of the tea tree. Its color is grayish-white or greenish-white, and some are slightly reddish. The shape and size are similar to peaches, fat and plump, the skin is smooth and shiny, hollow, and the inner side of the fruit is fibrous, which can be eaten raw.
At the beginning of the tea bubble, the taste is sweet and slightly bitter, there is astringency, it grows to a certain extent, the surface sheds a thin skin, the surface is milky white after molting, the bitter and astringent taste will fade a lot, and even fade, at this time the taste is the best, and the later period becomes dry, slowly out of black spots, not easy to preserve, and will begin to deteriorate after a long time and is not suitable for consumption.
The formation of tea brews is subject to strict conditions. The first is the season, which must be when new leaves and new fruits are grown, and the second is that there must be sufficient water and, of course, light and other conditions.
At the end of spring, there is a lot of rain, and there is a certain amount of light, the new leaves and new fruits of the tea tree are still very small, and when they encounter stimulation, they will make the new leaves and young fruits grow abnormally, forming tea pieces and tea bubbles. Therefore, the tea bubble must be at this time, and the small lantern-like drill out of the branches, white and fat, swollen, very cute.
Tea pieces are also called tea ears, which are not the lesions of the fruit of the Camellia oleifera tree, but the lesions of the leaves of the Camellia oleifera tree. When the leaves mutate, they swell and curl to form a particularly fat and full leaf that is green in white, or red in green, or full red, which is called tea chips.
Ground bubble is also called wild strawberry, because it is a herbaceous plant, it grows on the ground. Wild strawberries taste fresh and sweet, and can make people feel like they are back in their childhood.
The taste of the earth is beautiful, it can be called a mountain delicacy, but only those who grow in the countryside or yearn for the mountains and wilderness are blessed to eat it. Because it can't be kept fresh, it can't be seen in stalls.
However, wild strawberries in the natural environment are always so subtle and gradually ripe. Often on the same plant, the proximal end is already ripe, and the middle and lower parts are still trying to flower. Therefore, it has a long fruiting period and a fresh fragrance for several months, which can be eaten from May to June. As soon as June passed, the ground bubbles were in full bloom and returned to some of the prosaic weeds in the flora. If you want to taste its exotic aroma again, you can only wait until next year.
………………
However, they have also heard of wild fruits such as tea bubbles, tea slices, and ground bubbles, and now they are even more surprised when they see the real thing, and they are very happy to eat.
Originally, tea brews and tea tablets are generally products around Qingming, but because of the special geographical and climatic environment of Qianhui Mountain, the mountain goods here are much more time than the night outside, and now it is the most vigorous season for all kinds of mountain goods.
After a while, Kang Mingsong's back basket was occupied by all kinds of fresh wild fruits and vegetables, and he had to transfer some supplies to Yuan Tianchu's backpack. It was Yuan Bingya, a girl who was more relaxed, but she also took Kang Mingsong's shotgun and Yuan Tianchu's crossbow with her.
Because of his frequent participation in labor in the past year, Kang Mingsong's body is no longer as good as a year ago, and now he is very healthy, carrying a basket of mountain goods, but it is not too difficult.
