79 Chapter 79
Because the two children in the family are taken care of by Gu Zhaodi, today Gu Manniang and a few of them plan to stay in the mountains for a day, and Tang Dazhu and a few of them are naturally willing to Gu Manniang's proposal. The longer you spend in the mountains, the more you will gain.
Gu Manniang hadn't thought of how easy it was to catch live prey, so today she went into the mountain not for herself, but for the brothers of the Tang family. Since she promised to help, there is no such thing as giving up halfway, and giving up halfway is not her Gu Manniang's style of life.
If she wants to catch more live prey, Gu Manniang thinks that she will definitely not be able to rely on her little strength, she must find a hunter to learn skills, bows and arrows must be learned, and making traps are all things to learn.
Gu Manniang wanted to learn, but for a while, she couldn't find a master who taught her to hunt. As the saying goes, the apprentices of the church starve to death the master, and those who really have the ability to take care of the family and eat will generally not accept the apprentices unless they have to, after all, the apprentice has learned, and he is here to steal business with you. was robbed of business by the apprentice, what else does this master eat. So, everyone is not stupid.
Even if you want to take apprentices, they usually pass them on to your own children. If the children really can't learn, the master will think of accepting another apprentice.
Moreover, this era pays attention to being a teacher for one day and a father for life. That's to Master, you have to be like to your own father. Therefore, this master is not something that can be worshiped casually, at least he has to find one that fits his eyes.
But it is difficult to find a master who has the ability and fits Gu Manniang's eyes, so I found such a person, and it depends on whether people are willing to accept her as an apprentice. Therefore, now the matter of hunting is not in a hurry. She had to find another way to make money first, otherwise with her current amount of food, she would definitely run out of food early, and she didn't want to go hungry.
Today, a group of four people also carried a basket on their backs, and the baskets were quite large. I think everyone wants to pick more mountain goods. It is worth mentioning that today Zhang also went up the mountain with him.
Gu Manniang didn't say anything when she saw it, thinking that because they went up the mountain the day before yesterday, everyone gained a lot, especially Tang Tiezhu's goods and stepped on the shit luck, and they dug up a ginseng and earned twenty taels of silver at once, which made the Zhang family envious, jealous and hateful.
Of course, even if the Zhang family was envious and jealous, he didn't think about taking it for himself. If she dared to fight this idea, she might be shot away by Gu Manniang.
She followed up the mountain today, even if she couldn't step on dog shit and dig ginseng like Tang Tiezhu, at least she could pick some more mountain goods for her home, which was also an income. Even if you don't sell it, you can pick it up and stir-fry it or cook it in soup.
The children in the second room are two years older than Tang Xiaobao and them, so the Zhang family is not very worried, not to mention that before leaving, the Zhang family also specially asked Aunt Liu to help watch the children. In this regard, Aunt Liu naturally will not refuse. Just because the child had Aunt Liu to help watch, Tang Erzhu and his family would follow Gu Manniang into the mountain without worries.
Entering the mountain today, instead of taking the road the day before yesterday, Gu Manniang changed to enter the mountain. After all, the day before yesterday, they were very serious about picking all the mountain goods they found, and there will definitely be no harvest if they go that way again today.
Today, Gu Manniang didn't look down on mountain goods like before, but there were more people in the family waiting for her to raise, and the burden on her body was much heavier than before. Now all she can think about is to earn a penny.
Gu Manniang didn't know much about mushrooms, to be precise, she couldn't tell which kind of mushroom was poisonous and what kind of mushroom was not poisonous. Before picking mushrooms, Gu Manniang specially consulted Zhang's family, so as not to wait for her to pick poisonous mushrooms that she couldn't eat.
In fact, when she was young, Gu Manniang also picked mushrooms. Her previous home was not like here, surrounded by mountains, and the landlord she lived in was relatively flat. Sometimes when I go out to play with my friends, I will be lucky enough to encounter a kind of mushroom that grows very large in vain.
If you pick it, you will spit on the place where it grows, and it is said that if you spit on it, there will be mushrooms growing here again next time.
After picking mushrooms, some friends will take them back to cook soup. But Gu Manniang has never done this. The main thing is that there are too few, just one, even if she takes it back, her mother won't cook it. It's too little, not enough for one person to stuff his teeth. Therefore, every time Gu Manniang picks mushrooms, she will tear the mushrooms into small pieces and use them with her partners to play house.
Although it was a little strange that Gu Manniang couldn't tell the difference between mushrooms, Zhang's still taught very seriously.
Gu Manniang was picking mushrooms, and if she encountered a wild thing, she would catch it. Of course, Gu Manniang's so-called grasping was not a live catch, but was directly knocked to death with a stick.
Today, Gu Manniang and the others planned to stay in the mountains for a day, so when it was almost noon, Gu Manniang took them to a small stream. The wild boar that Gu Manniang caught was caught by the creek, but it was not this place.
Because Gu Manniang told everyone last night that she was going to stay in the mountains for a day today, everyone brought dry food, even so, Gu Manniang still donated two pheasants. Gu Manniang wanted to use the two pheasants to roast and eat.
Roasting and eating in the wild, Gu Manniang has wanted to do this for a long time. It's just that I haven't had a chance. I finally had this opportunity today, and Gu Manniang would not miss it. For this reason, Gu Manniang also deliberately took a small pot out of the house. This pot is also iron, but it is placed on the small stove at the back, not the large pot on the large stove.
Originally, when they left, everyone saw Gu Manniang carrying a small pot in the basket, although they were curious, but everyone didn't ask. Now seeing that Gu Manniang took out the pot and washed it, and made a pot of water, everyone naturally knew what she was doing.
The stove is very easy to get, just find a flat stone and put the pot on it.
Tang Dazhu's brothers went to collect firewood, and Zhang and Gu Manniang prepared to cook. After the water in the pot boiled, Zhang and Gu Manniang quickly plucked the chicken feathers, and then burned the feathers with fire. Disembowelment. Now Gu Manniang is really very handy at doing this.
Gu Manniang wanted to roast the two chickens and eat them, so she didn't plan to stew them. Put the chicken fat in a pan, boil out the oil and cook some mushroom soup, and drink it later.
The soup is boiling in the pot, and Gu Manniang has already roasted the chicken here. Today, Gu Manniang specially prepared for the roast chicken, not only prepared salt, but even the chili sauce was wrapped in vegetable leaves and taken out.
Roast chicken, Gu Manniang did it very seriously, but in the end, Gu Manniang was embarrassed to mention the effect. After eating this meal of roast chicken, Gu Manniang didn't want to eat like this roast anyway since then.
I don't know if Gu Manniang's skills are not at home, this roast chicken is not very delicious anyway. After Gu Manniang ate a chicken leg, she didn't eat another bite. Despite this, the Tang Dazhu brothers and the Zhang family did not pick, and the two chickens were eaten cleanly by them. After all, the two of them are not like Gu Manniang, although sometimes Gu Manniang makes meat, and she will serve some to them. But everyone clings to the children, eating at most one or two pieces of meat at a time. So, even if it doesn't taste very good, they still eat it with relish.
