Shinong industry and commerce, the status of scholars is the highest, even if you can't get fame, glorify the lintel, read more books and understand some things is good.

To induce Jinbao to read, Cui Xiaoxiao is not selfless. She wants to find a companion for her second brother to study with, and there is someone who can compare with her second brother and urge her second brother to study hard, so Jinbao is quite suitable.

The eldest brother in the family is much stronger than the second brother, and Cui Xiaoxiao just wants to recognize all the words, so he has been studying hard for more than ten years, and he can't become illiterate in ancient times.

And Jinbao and the second brother are about the same age, and the learning process is also about the same, and the two of them compete with each other to learn from each other.

While the other trees were still stretching their bare branches, the willows were quietly sprouting new shoots. Goose-yellow shoots crept all over the willow branches, and the slender branches glowed with a new layer of green.

"The northern willow buds are first strong, picked into the soup, and the cloud is better than the tea", the willow buds here refer to the young leaves before the flowering, the faint bitterness is like the taste of green tea, but the willow buds can also be used in the tea, and the willow buds are mixed with the tea to make "disaster and longevity tea", which can prevent and treat yellow swelling and musculoskeletal pain.

Cui Xiaoxiao's idea of beating willow buds is indeed to eat, blanch it with hot water, and then soak it in cold water for half a day, mix it with various ingredients, the willow buds are tender and crisp, fresh and delicious. And the willow buds are cold, and eating more can defeat the fire.

The swaying willow branches are like a girl's hair, hanging down quietly, bringing a lot of convenience to Cui Xiaoxiao and Jinbao. Standing on the ground, raise your hand to reach a wicker, there is a back basket underneath, use your hand to pick down the willow buds on it, and it falls into the back basket, which is very convenient.

"Xiaoxiao, what do you want this willow leaf for?" Jinbao's chubby hand ran over the willow buds, and within a few strokes of pale green juice stained his palms.

"It's edible, it's the same as wild vegetables, and it can defeat the fire, is it a good thing?" Cui Xiaoxiao explained to Jinbao while picking up the willow buds.

"Is that delicious?" Guo Lizheng's family conditions are good, although he can't eat white flour rice, but he doesn't care about this wild vegetable, because Jinbao has grown so big and has never eaten wild vegetables, but this does not prevent him from hearing others say that wild vegetables are not delicious.

Wild vegetables generally have a bitter taste, and people here generally wash them and put them directly into the batter, which is naturally not delicious.

"Jinbao, you go back and ask Aunt Guo to remove the hard branches on it, wash it, blanch it with hot water, and then soak it in cold water for a while, the garlic cloves are smashed, and mixed well with sesame oil, vinegar and salt, it's delicious." Cui Xiaoxiao told Jinbao about the method of garlic willow sprouts, even if the willow sprouts are blanched in hot water, they have a faint bitter taste, and it is not easy to eat them when covered with the spicy taste of garlic.

"Okay, then I'll help you get it full, and then I'll get mine." Jinbao grabbed the willow branch and put it in the small back basket, "My family doesn't like to eat wild vegetables. ”

After saying this, Jinbao felt that something was wrong again, and hurriedly explained, "Xiaoxiao, I, I don't mean anything else, that is"

"It's okay, I understand." Cui Xiaoxiao smiled, "You get less and let them taste it, if they like to eat it, you can get more next time." ”

"Yes, that's what I mean, if you don't like to eat, it's a waste to get too much, so it's better to help you get it." Jinbao hurriedly answered.

"Okay." Cui Xiaoxiao looked at Jinbao, "There is one more free laborer to help me work today, what a good thing." ”

"I've wanted to help you work for a long time, but you won't let me come." Jinbao thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to say these words, he just lowered his head and stroked the willow buds seriously.

From time to time, Jinbao had to answer Cui Xiaoxiao's questions, either asking him sentences or asking him to write. Jinbao raised the spirit of twelve, but Xiaoxiao said that if he wanted to be an older brother, he had to be stronger than him, and he couldn't let Xiaoxiao look at him.

Looking at the small characters, and then looking at his own words, Jinbao secretly decided in his heart to go home and write five more big characters.

Cui's small back basket is not very big, it will be full after a while, she is not compacted, willow buds are everywhere, it is better to eat fresh, eat fresh.

When Xiaoxiao and Jinbao came over, Cui Yuanjian and Cui Yuankang had not finished their sets, and Cui Xiaoxiao quietly put spiritual spring water on the weeds in two of the sets. It's good to keep two or three sets of prey every day, if each set has a harvest, it will definitely make the eldest brother suspicious.

What Cui Xiaoxiao didn't know was that it was like this, which surprised Cui Yuanjian, you must know that even the father of the Cui family brothers and sisters can't guarantee that the set will be harvested every day.

"Xiaokang, you go home and bring the clothes. Xiaoxiao, you and Jinbao will go back first. Cui Yuanjian looked up at the sky, it was still early, and if he was in a hurry, he should be able to take off the honeycomb before eating at noon.

"Big brother, I'm not going back, I want to see how you poke the honeycomb." Cui Xiaoxiao was not happy when she heard this, she hadn't seen how to poke a honeycomb yet.

"Brother Xiaojian, you just let us stay, I promise not to make trouble, you can do whatever you want." Jin Bao begged Cui Yuanjian to say.

"Xiaoxiao, it's not that Jinbao won't let you see it, it's that our family has two coats, you two are watching from the side, what should I do if you are pierced?" Poking the honeycomb is a dangerous job, Cui Yuanjian didn't want Xiaoxiao and Jinbao to stay, and the clothes were not enough to use as an excuse.

Thinking that his family only had oil-paper umbrellas and no clothes, Jinbao felt that his family was very poor for the first time. If others knew about Jinbao's thoughts, they would probably want to beat him.

Oil-paper umbrellas are a rarity in the village, and most people use robes. The coat is made of straw, and it is very heavy to wear on the body after the rain, and after a long time, no matter how thick the thatch is, it will be soaked, and it is easy to use an oil-paper umbrella.

"Okay, I'll go down the mountain with my second brother." can't see the excitement, Cui Xiaoxiao is still a little unhappy, but he also knows that it is not the time to play a little temper.

After going down the mountain, Jinbao took his willow buds back home, and Cui Yuanjian found the clothes and ran up the mountain.

The coat is divided into two parts, the top and the skirt, which cannot cover the whole body, and thanks to Cui Yuanjian and Cui Yuankang being children, they can cover themselves.

After going up the mountain, Yuanjian and Yuankang made a fire directly below the honeycomb, there was no flame, and the milky white smoke swayed up with a choking breath and sank into the honeycomb.

Cui Yuanjian and Cui Yuankang found a shelter not far from the honeycomb, put on their robes, lay on the ground, and waited quietly for the bees to fly out.

The fire was still smoking, but the honeycomb had not seen the bees flying out for a long time, Cui Yuankang got up from the ground and found a stick to poke the honeycomb down.

"Yuanyasu, don't." Cui Yuanjian spoke up to stop Yuankang's movements. (To be continued)
