Chapter 012 is the same with any egg

There are a lot of wild vegetables, but there are really few common herbs such as notoginseng. Maybe it's because the children in this forest village often come to play, digging wild vegetables or something, just like the woods in the backyard, it is really not suitable for looking for herbs, it seems that they will have to go to the mountains to find them in the future.

As he walked, Luo Wensheng suddenly patted his head and said, "Brother, sister, I found a large piece of sweet fruit last time, and I will take you there." The five-year-old baby made a gesture of patting her head like an adult, which made Luo Ran almost burst out laughing, but fortunately she endured it, otherwise she would have to explain.

Then, Luo Wensheng took his brothers and sisters to a plant. A large patch of herbaceous plants, almost as tall as an adult's knees. Luo Ran didn't know it, but the small red fruit hanging on it was the one Wensheng let him eat last time, and it was said to be the original owner's favorite small fruit, the kind of small, sweet and sour, and children called it sweet fruit. It is very popular with children in the village and is generally used as a small snack.

This sweet fruit was accidentally discovered by Luo Wensheng last time. Seeing that there were so many red fruits hanging on the branches, the three of them were glad that this place had not been discovered yet. Hurry up and pick the ripe red ones and leave the unripe ones to come back next time.

He picked a small half basket and plucked all the ripe branches from the branches. The three of them dug up a basket full of wild vegetables. Luo Wenxuan looked at the sunlight through the gap in the leaves, and then said seriously: "It's almost the end of the day, it's dark in the forest early, and we should almost go back." ”

What time is Yinshi? What time is it in modern times? Luo Ran had no idea of this ancient time at this time. It is only known that in ancient times there were twelve hours in a day, and one hour was equal to two hours in modern times.

It's just past spring, and the days aren't very long, and the sun will set at six o'clock. But look at the sky, it should be around five o'clock. Now the sunlight through the gaps between the leaves is not as bright as it used to be, not to mention that in the forest, most of the sunlight is blocked by the leaves, and the sky is darker early.

All three of them carried a full load on their backs and walked back. When I came, I went to the reeds at the edge of the forest first, and then I made a detour through the forest from the reeds. When I went back, I walked straight out of the forest and headed home. Luo Ran has also been remembering the road at the moment, but there is no road in the forest, and he will be dizzy after a while, and he only remembers a general direction. It seems that my sense of direction is really not strong, and it would be nice if I had a satellite positioning map. Luo Ran missed the map of the modern mobile phone at this time.

However, following his brother and younger brother, Luo Ran no longer has to worry about his direction. Looking at the two small bodies in front of him, this made Luo Ran feel embarrassed again, when is he not as good as two children, and he still needs two children to lead the way.

"Ran'er, Shen? I'll help you carry it" Luo Wenxuan saw that Luo Ran had been behind, so he thought the basket was very heavy, and stretched out his hand to help carry it.

"Brother, it's not sinking, I can move it." Hearing Luo Wenxuan's voice, Luo Ran stopped thinking nonsense, looked at his small basket, and then looked at the big basket on Luo Wenxuan's back, how embarrassed.

"By the way, brother, put down the basket and basket first." Luo Wenxuan didn't know why, but he also put down the back basket as he said. I saw Luo Ran divide half of the duck eggs in his basket and put them at the bottom of Luo Wenxuan's back basket, cover them tightly with wild vegetables, and put the remaining four bird eggs into Wensheng's basket, which was also covered with grass. Then everyone started to walk.

"It's called not putting all your eggs in one basket." Luo Ran sighed at his caution, and said proudly after doing it.

"Little Clever Ghost." Luo Wenxuan nodded Luo Ran's nose, but Luo Ran's tongue was reached.

"Sister, but you're putting duck eggs and bird eggs! Why do you say it's an egg? Five-year-old Luo Wensheng was puzzled at this time.

Luo Ran suddenly felt speechless, and then Luo Wenxuan said: "Whether it is an egg, a duck egg, or a bird egg, all eggs are the same, and they all have a common characteristic, that is, they are easy to break. If you put it in a basket and accidentally break it, it will be gone; If it is divided and one basket is broken, there is what is left in the other baskets. It's called not putting all your eggs in one basket. ”

"It's on the safe side." Luo Ran felt that Luo Wensheng's explanation was very reasonable, and nodded and added.

"What if Grandma finds out?" Luo Wensheng also nodded in Luo Ran's way, and then suddenly thought of something and asked loudly.

"So cover it with grass. Grandma can't find out," Luo Ran said.

"There is the smell of birds' eggs, and grandma and sister-in-law have sharp noses, and they can smell it from afar." Luo Wensheng said very eagerly.

Hearing this, Luo Ran was speechless, no matter how much he hid it, he couldn't hide the fragrance of bird eggs.

At this time, Luo Wenxuan also frowned. Seeing that they were about to walk out of the woods, they would be home in another ten minutes.

"There it is." Luo Wenxuan suddenly patted his head and said. Sure enough, it is a brother, and the action of slapping his head is the same as Luo Wensheng. Luo Wenxuan turned around and looked for something nearby.

"Brother, what are you looking for?" Luo Ran asked puzzled.

"Mugwort leaves, mugwort leaves have a big taste, can smoke mosquitoes, and can definitely also cover the fragrance of eggs." Luo Wensheng replied as he spoke.

In the forest, mugwort leaves are very common, Luo Wensheng picked a large handful of mugwort leaves, and put some in his back basket and two baskets.

"Good idea, when the time comes, let's say it's for smoked mosquitoes, but -- now there are no mosquitoes, just say, let's say it's smoked insects."

"Yes." Both brothers nodded in agreement.

"This way you can cover your grandmother and sister-in-law's noses." Luo Wensheng thought that the duck eggs and bird eggs had been saved, and said happily.

Luo Ran wanted to laugh again. This sentence of his younger brother Wensheng is very ambiguous. But if you are a child, there is really a lot more childlike fun.

"After a while, let's quietly go back to the West Cross Courtyard first, take out the duck eggs and bird eggs, and then send the wild vegetables to the kitchen. If you touch the milk in the middle, the milk asks, Wensheng, don't talk, I'll talk to my brother. There are also duck eggs and bird eggs, and I won't tell my father and mother about them first, and I will talk about them when my father and mother come back after dinner. Tomorrow to the town, duck eggs can be exchanged for money. Luo Ran first told the two brothers about the precautions for a while, and then revealed a certain link in the province, and then pulled out other things. In this world, prices are not as high as in modern times, where eggs are a penny, duck eggs are larger, and they have always been more expensive than eggs, two pennies.

"Sister, I remember." In order to keep the fruits of his labor, in order to prove that he would not show his stuffing, Luo Wensheng nodded vigorously to show that he remembered.
