When they arrived at the village, Lin Zi broke up with the brother and sister.

By the time the Yingqi brothers and sisters walked home, the sun had completely set and it was getting dark.

Zhou Zhao is starting to cook on the fire. Zhou Chungui repaired the fence stakes at home.

"Dad, Mom, we're back. The brother and sister walked into the house and put down their little baskets.

Ying Qi went to fetch water and wash his hands, and Fu Yi went directly to the stove to help Zhou Zhao's add materials and add fire.

This is the difference in the living habits of the two, and Ying Qi is not completely used to life here after all.

When she went to the field to dig wild vegetables and came back, the first thing she did was to wash herself. And the people here don't have the same clean habits as Yingqi.

People generally get up early in the morning to wash their faces, wash their feet before going to bed at night, and there is no habit of washing at other times.

Of course, if it is a large family, there will still be the habit of washing hands and face anytime and anywhere. Even cleaner doesn't have to be.

"Mother, my sister picked a basket of mushrooms, can we eat this?" Fu Yi asked Zhou Zhao while adding to the fire.

"Of course......" Before Zhou Zhao could speak, Ying Qi had already come in.

"Of course you can eat it. Mother, we can try it first to see if it is poisonous or not, and then decide whether it is good or not. Eat wild vegetables every day, you will get tired. ”

Ying Qi padded her feet and climbed onto the stove.

Zhou Zhao touched her little head, "Alas, it's all bad for our mother, so we can't eat well and dress warmly." ”

Zhou Zhao was a little depressed when he heard Ying Qi say that.

"However, some mushrooms are edible. Your dad and I know that. If you really want to eat it, let's try it. ”

When Ying Qi heard this, it seemed that her father and mother had eaten this before.

"Mother, a kind of mushroom I pick. Let's try it with a small mouse, if you can eat it, just pick this kind of good or not, so that it won't be poisoned. Ying Qi blinked and looked at Zhou Zhao with big eyes, and Zhou Zhao nodded.

Ying Qi happily jumped off the ground and made a grimace at Fu Yi.

I thought to myself, let's try it with green onions first. Thinking about it, it didn't matter that his brother Fu Yi was taken aback by her, so he went out directly.

I picked a green onion in the corner of the courtyard and took a mushroom.

According to the method I recalled, I wiped it directly on the umbrella cover of the mushroom, and sure enough, the green onion did not change color. It seems that it must be non-toxic.

Tear open the mushroom again, and the white juice flows out, and when you smell it, there is a kind of fresh smell. Yingqi's grasp is basically 90%.

At dinner, Zhou Chungui heard them talk about this, and that night he went to the field to catch a field rat, and after feeding it mushrooms, it was fine.

So finally they had a second course for the family. It's a soup that tastes much better than wild vegetables.

So in the next few days, the brother and sister didn't even pick wild vegetables, and went to pick all the mushrooms.

Although Lin Zi also heard them talk about this way of eating, he has a large family, and the matter of poisonous mushrooms last year seems to be still there, so he didn't have the heart to pick them.

"Brother, what do we eat when it's cold in winter?" asked Fu Yi while picking mushrooms.

I eat wild vegetables in the spring, and I don't have much to eat in the winter.

"In winter, there will be delicious meat and sugar during the New Year, but other times there is only bran porridge. Fu Yi remembered the delicious food he ate during the Chinese New Year, and he seemed to start drooling.

"What's the bran porridge?" Ying Qi didn't sound good.

"There wasn't much rice, so we had to make porridge with chaff husks, because there were no wild vegetables or anything like that in winter. ”

Oh my God, Ying Qi finally felt that she had a heavy responsibility.

"Brother, they don't dare to eat mushrooms, shall we pick them all back?" "Okay, but I don't know if we can put them." If it's broken, it can't be drawn. Fu Yi had no idea what Ying Qi wanted to do.

Ying Qi has already begun to take precautions, before she thinks of how to make money, let herself eat mushrooms, at least better than chaff.

Now the mushrooms are picked and dried, and they can still be eaten in winter.

The next morning, when the rooster crows for the second time, Ying Qi gets up.

The rooster in the farmhouse generally crows when it is ugly, which is three o'clock in the morning in modern times.

As soon as the rooster crows, the adults begin to get up and pack up for farm work.

When you hit the second time, it is four or five o'clock. The third time it chirps, at six or seven o'clock, when the sun is ready to come out. (In the future, the hour will be used to represent time)

It seems that it is a good weather today, and Ying Qi runs to wake up her brother, saying that she wants to dry mushrooms at home.

This is naturally the after-effect of yesterday's blow.

"Sister, why don't we go out today?" Fu Yi didn't understand what his little sister was going to do, but after all, he was just a child, so he didn't have any strange concepts.

As for their parents, since their children are still young, they don't ask them to do serious farm work or anything like that.

"Brother, you see, we have all picked such a big basket of mushrooms, and we have enough to eat recently, but the mushrooms will be gone after the spring, so we have to save them, and we can eat them later." Ying Qi knocked on his head.

"How do you save it?" Fu Yi didn't understand.

"We dry them all and turn them into dried mushrooms so they don't go bad. Look at the piece of bacon hanging on the stove at home, isn't it always broken? "There's always a little bit of bacon on the stove in their house.

It's really a small slip, and it's estimated that the two fingers together are so wide that they hang on it all the time.

I heard Zhou Zhao say that when only relatives and friends come, use that as oil and rub it in the pot. Usually, there is no oil at home.

The only seasoning is salt and green onions. And it's very little salt.

"Really? How do you know? Fu Yi had some doubts, after all, he didn't know that he was an elder brother, why did his little sister know that he could make dried mushrooms.

"I don't know if it's okay or not, but I just saw the bacon hanging like that, and I thought that if we hang the mushrooms like this, the wind blows, won't it dry out. Wouldn't it break if you did it? Ying Qi deliberately looked at her brother with a stupid look.

Fu Yi touched his head, a little stupid. It's still my sister who is smart, so I can think of how to make dried mushrooms, why can't I think of it.

"Okay, let's blow dry all the mushrooms. ”

So the two of them used the thin bamboo strips at home to thread the mushrooms one by one, and then put them on the fence stakes.

Since it has been sunny recently, Ying Qi estimates that the mushrooms should be able to dry in three or five days.

After tossing like this for five days, Ying Qi begged Zhou Zhao to clean a large jar of water and use it to hold her dried mushrooms. Finally she felt like she had enough to eat for a winter. The brother and sister rested.

After finishing the dried mushrooms, Fu Yi began to pick wild vegetables with Lin Zi again. After all, this is still a staple food. Ying Qi continued to pick mushrooms.

As he was picking, a rabbit suddenly flashed in front of Ying Qi and ran into the woods with a puff of smoke.

Yingqi started drooling, that's meat!

I've been here for almost half a month, let alone eating meat, except for the bacon, I can't see it or not, and I haven't even seen the shadow of meat.

"Brother, brother. Ying Qi ran to Lin Zi and Fu Yi. "What's wrong?" Fu Yi and the others were startled. "Brother, Brother Linzi, there are rabbits, rabbits!"

"Is there a rabbit?" the two boys were excited when they heard this.

In the mountains and forests in spring, there are often pheasants and hares, but there are basically no animals here because they are often infested.

The children of the farm are experienced in catching small animals. Especially rabbits, quite convenient.

Hares are born with a bad habit of going back and forth to the nest in search of food, and they are not very observant, they cannot see what is ahead, and they never retreat, only forward.

Therefore, as long as you find a rabbit, you can catch it accurately.

The three of them discussed, repeatedly observed the direction of the rabbit that Ying Qi saw just now, and observed along the road to determine the route of the rabbit.

When he returned in the evening, he found a strong rope, circled a large looper, and the next day took it to the road where the hare passed, and tied the other end of the rope to a nearby tree, so that the height of the looper was about the height of a palm above the ground, and then he left it alone.

The trio continued to dig wild vegetables and mushrooms at a great distance from the rabbit.

When it was almost dark, they went over to see that they were quite lucky, and sure enough, they caught a big rabbit.

The three of them were very happy, and Fu Yi said that after taking it home and distributing it, each of the three of them would have a copy. Lin Zi also agreed.

After all, Yingqi's family is much simpler, if Lin Zi takes it home, it is estimated that the adults will be directly deprived, and the three children will have no share at all.

"Dad, mother, look at what we have caught. Both of them were very excited and went home happily.

"Your father hasn't come back yet. Zhou Zhao heard the voices of the two babies and walked out of the chicken coop.

"Mother, we caught a rabbit!" Ying Qi jumped on Zhou Zhao's body.

"Really?" Seeing the rabbit in Fu Yi's hand, Zhou Zhao was also quite happy.

"Oh, this is really amazing, how did you catch it?"

"Catch what?" At this time, Zhou Chungui walked in.

"Daddy, Daddy, we've got a rabbit. Let's eat meat!" Ying Qi was quite greedy.

"Oh, what a rabbit. Zhou Chungui was also very surprised.

"It's really my good boy!" Zhou Chungui touched Fu Yi's head, and hugged Ying Qi up and kissed him.

"It's just going to be a market tomorrow, why don't we sell the rabbits?" Zhou Chungui said.

"Daddy, I want to eat meat. Ying Qi was a little depressed.

"Sister Qi, we sold rabbits, buy some pork and come back to eat, okay? Rabbits are more expensive than pork. ”

"Really, you can eat pork? "Ying Qi doesn't care what kind of meat it is, as long as it's meat. Oops, I don't know what it feels like to smell meat in March.

"Dad, we caught it with Lin Zi, can we give it to Lin Zi if we sell it?" Fu Yi looked at his father a little worriedly.

"Of course, of course. Zhou Chungui smiled.

"Then shall we go to the market tomorrow?" Ying Qi suddenly remembered a question. Oops, I've never been to the market, and I've never even heard of it.

I'm so excited, I can eat meat again, and I can catch the market again.

"Okay, let's take you two with me. Zhou Chungui said with a smile.

"Great!" said the two siblings, very happy.

So, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night, and when I got up the next day, I had two panda eyes on my head, and the whole family laughed.
