Chapter 2 Delivering Meals

It happened to be spring in March, **bright.

When you step out of the yard, you can see the fields at a glance.

Although the crops have not yet been planted, the grass and wildflowers on the edge of the fields have already begun to grow vigorously in the spring sunshine.

The fields here are one by one, and it can be seen that they should belong to the south, and according to my own understanding in my previous life, the north should be all yellow earth.

Fortunately, the environment is still familiar to me. Moreover, looking at this stubble of the field, although it is not a sloping field, it shows that the land is still relatively dense.

In addition, there is a small stream at the door of his house, and the water resources are relatively abundant, so the harvest will not be too bad.

It's a lot of taxation in this era. Where is it like in the previous life, the state still subsidizes.

The morning of early spring is not too cool, with the sun shining and the body warm.

Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Ying Qi suddenly felt that maybe it wasn't a bad thing for her to pass through, such a leisurely and comfortable feeling that she couldn't find in her previous life.

bypassed a few fields, followed Zhou Fuyi to say hello to his uncles and uncles who were also farming in the fields, and finally came to their father's field.

Because the family has no ploughing cattle, and there is no money to borrow ploughing cattle, their family can only rely on Zhou Chungui's own hoe and hoe to dig deeply, which is very laborious.

Zhou Zhao is usually busy with the work at home, and he will come to help in the afternoon.

In their entire village, there were no cattle except for a cow in the village chief's house.

Those with better family conditions will wait for the village chief's cattle to plough the village chief's land, and then rent it, but like Zhou Chungui, who is just enough to eat and wear, they still can't consume this kind of somewhat expensive consumption.

However, they only have a few acres of thin fields, which is just enough for their family to work.

Of course, in Yingqi's ideology, making a fortune can never be achieved by simple work like oneself, and you still have to find some signs of doing business.

"Dad, eat, are you hungry?" Ying Qi shouted to Zhou Chungui who was in the field.

Zhou Chungui saw that the baby children were coming, and hurriedly walked up to the field.

"Dad, go wash your hands, wash your hands. Ying Qi saw that her father put down the hoe and was about to eat it in the bowl, and the yellow mud in one hand was very disapproving.

Although the farmers are not particular about it, it is not good to pay a little attention to hygiene.

"Good, good. Zhou Chungui hurriedly turned around and squatted down, just in the corner of the field, and washed his hands with the water in the field.

"Dad, we'll go down the hill to dig wild vegetables later. Ying Qi watched her father eat in a big gulp, thinking that after such hard work, eating poorly and little, why are people in this era so tired.

"Go, go, go. Fu Yi took his sister well. Zhou Chungui smiled.

"Got it, Dad. Zhou Fuyi nodded, "Let's go with Lin Zi." ”

"Then we're leaving. When my mother came over, she brought the bowl back. ”

"Hmm. Her father concentrated on eating, nodding his head, and no longer paying attention to the two babies.

Zhou Fuyi took Yingqi across his own field and walked west.

Zhou Jialin's home is in the west, and the hill where they often pick up wild vegetables is also in the west, so the people of Zhoujia Village call that mountain the West Mountain.

The West Mountain is not too high, but it is not low, according to Ying Qi's eyesight, it is still similar to the mountain she had seen in her previous life. There should be an altitude of about 1,000 meters, and it is estimated that it cannot be higher.

On the way, Zhou Fuyi told her that in early winter, there were farmers who organized to go hunting in the mountains.

Although there are no black blind people and big worms, there are still wolves and foxes.

The black blind man and the big worm here are the bears and tigers. Later, Ying Qi learned that bears are very rare in the south, because they generally live in mountains and forests above 3,000 meters above sea level. There are not many highlands like this in the south.

It's all the fault of the zoo in her previous life, she always thought that as long as it was deep in the mountains, there were bears and tigers everywhere. But their children were picking up wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain, and they didn't have these dangerous animals. It's nice to see a pheasant or two once in a while.

"Linzi, Linzi. "Before I came to the cross-courtyard, it looked like my own house.

However, as Zhou Fuyi shouted loudly, a large number of children soon ran out.

It seems that this family has a large population, so this house is really crowded enough. Thinking like this, Ying Qi couldn't help but pout.

"It's coming. "A big kid quickly squeezed out of the crowd.

Zhou Jialin, the name sounds quite delicate, Ying Qi thought that she looked about the same as her brother, the same age.

As a result, the actual effect looks like a short boy who is black and coarse, and very strong.

"I'll take my sister to Xishan, will you go?" Zhou Fuyi pulled him over and whispered to him, probably worried that a large number of children in their family would follow when they heard it.

"Go, I'll go talk to my mother. Zhou Jialin's eyes lit up, and he quickly turned around and ran into the house.

Soon he carried a small basket out, "Let's go, my mother said, just come back before dark." ”

"Brother, do you want to go out, I'm going too. "I'm going too, I'm going too. A few children guessed that they were going to Xishan, so they hurriedly surrounded them.

"Go and ask your grandmother. Zhou Jialin said, and a group of children hurriedly ran into the house.

"Run, or I'll be annoyed. Zhou Jialin saw that there was no one, so he hurriedly pulled Zhou Fuyi to run, Zhou Fuyi hurriedly grabbed Yingqi, and the three of them ran away hand in hand.

When Zhou Jialin's younger brothers and sisters came out, the three of them ran away early. "I was deceived by my brother again. The children stomped their feet in anger.

Come to the West Mountain, the lush mountain forest. Because there is plenty of sunshine during the day, and the spring rain is moist at night. Naturally, in addition to the plants of the mountain forest, the wild vegetables that children like also grow very well.

Occasionally, I heard human voices, probably children who came to pick up wild vegetables.

"Sister, let's go there. Zhou Fuyi pointed to a small sunny lawn.

After the three of them passed, Lin Zi and Fu Yi put down the small basket and took out the wood pieces made by their own family.

There is no such thing as a hoe, the only hoe in the family is used by the parents when they go to the field.

As for the children who come to dig wild vegetables, they all use wood to cut slices, the one in their hands is thicker, and the one that digs the soil is thinner.

After all, wild vegetables are relatively easy to dig, and some can even be picked directly.

The brothers were digging wild vegetables with great interest, and Ying Qi remembered that spring should also be the season for mushrooms to grow, and mushrooms were much more delicious than these wild vegetables.

So she went to the bottom of some big trees by herself, and sure enough, there were many small mushrooms growing in the shade. Ying Qi looked closely, there were two or three different mushrooms.

Mushrooms are different from other wild vegetables in that they are poisonous and non-toxic.

Which is poisonous and which is not? Ying Qi turned on her little head, trying to remember the knowledge she had brought to her in her previous life.

I remember that the most common thing on TV was that bright colors were poisonous, but this was not necessarily the case.

In the past, everything I bought in the supermarket was artificially cultivated, think about it, think about it.

Ying Qi tried to recall that in her previous life, she had been to the countryside when she was a child, and she remembered that at that time, her classmate's father was afraid that they were digging poisonous mushrooms, so he explained it to herself.

But it's too old, and you have to think about it.

Yes, remember that tearing up mushrooms, if they are white, they should be non-toxic, and you can also wipe them with green onions, and if they change color, they are poisonous. It seems that green onions are still grown here, which is a basic condiment, and the planting is also very simple.

I remember that there were green onions in my yard.

Pick it back according to the memory first, and then try both identification methods, and you should be able to rule it out.

Thinking of this, Ying Qi began to be interested.

She first observed the mushrooms on the tree poles, which were particularly bright and had raised spots. This is certainly toxic. Ying Qi did not hesitate to rule it out.

I chose one that was smoother to open and smelled fresher. The possibility of this non-toxicity is extremely high.

Pick like this until the basket is full.

At this time, her brother Fu Yi and Lin Zi also came to look for her. The two of them carried a larger basket, and although they picked wild vegetables much faster than Yingqi, they were only full.

"Sister, let's go. Fu Yi greeted her. When I walked up to her, I saw her picking a bunch of mushrooms.

"Sister, these things can't be eaten. Poisonous. Fu Yi looked at the mushrooms in her basket and was a little speechless.

"Brother, I know, some are poisonous, and some are not poisonous. Ying Qi argued.

"But last time I heard my father say that the old forest head in the west of the village died after eating mushrooms. Right, Linzi?" Fu Yi was about to dump all the mushrooms.

Lin Zi also nodded, after all, it was what happened around him.

"Yes, we used to eat mushrooms, but after that, the adults said they still didn't eat them, and no one could guess which mushrooms were poisonous and which were not. ”

"It's okay, I can tell. Big deal, let's grab two rats and try it first. Ying Qi snatched the mushrooms from her brother's hands, and she finally dug up the results for a long time.

"Okay. Wait for the mother to decide. "I couldn't rob my sister, and Fu Yi couldn't help it, so he decided to go home and let his father and mother tell his sister about the terrible mushroom incident.

The three of them each carried their own small baskets on their backs, and walked towards the way home in the afterglow of the setting sun.
