Chapter 4 Ground fungus
In the ditch where the ground is divided, the ditch is originally cloudy, and because of the rain in the past two days, the black green and cyan moss of the ditch has grown on it with clusters of fungus-like things...
Haha, it's really good.
Qin Mo took two steps closer and squatted down, the sky was very dark, and he was afraid that he had seen it wrong, but as a result, he stretched out his hand, and there were really piles of fungus here.
Ground fungus, also known as lichen, is called in the grandmother's local area, and some people also call it ground ear, ground vegetables and so on.
Qin Mo is at her grandmother's house, and when it rains, she and her cousins will always pick things that can be picked in the ditch, and even on the ground, and her uncle will take them to fry meat, even if it is boiled in white water with a little salt, it tastes very good, this is really a game.
Just crossed over and happened to be bad to find this, and God treated her well.
But I don't know if the local people know the edibility of this thing, if they knew, then it should have been robbed a long time ago, and it is also possible that this thing has just grown, it is close to evening, it is late, and no one has found here.
No matter.
First come, first served, I finally saw God reward her with a mouthful of food
Qin Mo moved and buried his head and began to quickly pick them one by one with his hands.
Xiangxiang seemed to notice her sister's sudden abnormality, and her feelings were driven, her little feet moved, and she looked into the ditch curiously.
Sister, what is that, can you eat it?
Qin Mo replied to the little girl's words while burying his head in the careful picking
You can eat...
Although there are many fungus in this place, it is extremely difficult to pick, because it is too soft and easy to rot when it is caught.
On the one hand, Qin Mo wants to pick faster and more, but he is afraid that tomorrow people will get up and come to pick this thing by himself, so it will not be his turn again.
Two girls, there are no adults in the family, they will only be bullied.
No one didn't pick it up tonight, and everyone else found out -- how could something so good have a second turn.
Now in this situation of having nothing to eat, it is not easy to support yourself and the ones you have with you.
Come. Younger sister. Put your clothes up--
Qin Mo held a big handful in his hand, turned his head and wanted to put it down, but found that there were no tools, he originally wanted to borrow Xiangxiang's clothes and use her clothes to take a look, but found that Xiangxiang's clothes didn't even cover his stomach, where could he still use wild vegetables.
Xiangxiang was stunned because of Qin Mo's words, looked down at the clothes that were only half cut on her upper body, and pouted boredly.
Alas, it is impossible to rely on her, as soon as he turned his head and found a low sycamore growing on the slope of the field, the big sycamore leaves hung down to half of the field, Qin Mo was overjoyed in his heart, and then walked towards the slope step by step with bare legs.
The soles of the feet of the people with sharp grass thorns on the slopes hurt.
Qin Mo jumped up, grabbed the branch at the very front, grabbed his head, and picked two large sycamore leaves...
Then he stepped on the wet mud and walked back step by step.
Finally, the ground fungus that has been picked on the ground is put into the sycamore leaves.
Xiangxiang turned around curiously, squatted down in the opposite direction, and then carefully poked the soft wild vegetables with her fingers
And Qin Mo leaned down and continued to pick up wild vegetables, this dry field is very long at both ends, and it happens to be a long accumulated ditch in the middle, Qin Mo didn't look to see if other ditches also emit this kind of fungus fungus, just thinking about picking enough of this ditch, and then enough food for himself and the little girl around him for the next few days.
There is nothing else to eat, and now I can only rely on this to survive...
After picking a large handful, Qin Mo raised his head and looked at one end, there were many more to pick.
This ditch is long enough, and in the current situation, it is really a blessing.
Qin Mo just finished picking a place, and squatted and moved two steps up...
Finally, I picked a large handful full of it in my hand, and it was already dark and almost invisible.
Xiangxiang squatted on the ridge where she started, and knocked on the soil with the branches and leaves she picked up in her hands.
The eyebrows are twisted together. Look this way
Sister. Sister... I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, can I take this home and eat it?
Qin Mo responded with his mouth, raised his head and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
Of course, she wants to step on it more, and this time it's lucky, this kind of thing will disappear by itself in two days.
The problem of lack of food is more serious than anything else.
Alright, alright. It's going to be soon.
She wanted to collect more, but it was too dark for her to see.
Only half of it was picked.
Qin Mo put the full fungus in his hand, stood up and looked at the remaining half, feeling a little pity.
Maybe I can't see it today, but I will get up early tomorrow morning and pick it.
Thinking like this, Qin Mo wiped away the messy hair scattered on his face, he had been sweating just now, and now his body shivered when the cold wind blew him.
Scold. Relieved, I was finally able to go home and cook dinner.
I'm so hungry that I don't have any strength at all...
Qin Mo turned around and walked up, then poured a large pile of ground fungus from the hand bay into the sycamore leaves.
When the two large sycamore leaves are combined, it is a bowl containing things, and the fungus is contained in it.
Qin Mo was exhausted and handed over this thing to Xiangxiang to hold.
Although Xiangxiang is young, she still has the strength to do this.
The hands are full of mud, and the fungus must be washed with water, and the root hides a lot of fine sand and mud, and if it is not washed and eaten, there will be grit mixed in the mouth, and it will be difficult to swallow.
Everyone in this Chishui village is known to have a shortage of water, but fortunately it has just rained.
So there was a lot of water in the fields and in the ditches.
Qin Mo first found a ditch outside the field, and there was a place where the water stored with stones was still quite deep.
Qin Mo walked over, stood on the stone carefully, then picked up the water in the ditch, washed his legs and feet first, and then washed his hands.
Finally, the mud of the whole hand was washed away, and the five fingers that were like yellow waxy dry wood leaked out.
Then he turned around again and reached out for Xiangxiang to hand over the ground fungus he was holding in his hand.
When Qin Mo stretched out his hand to her, Xiangxiang's whole expression was stunned, she didn't know what Qin Mo wanted when he reached out to her, she never knew what she was holding in her hand, she had never eaten or seen this dish, but this was her sister's idea, and it should be edible.
