Chapter 40: Into the Mountain
When the cake was baked, Cao'er couldn't help but nag again: "You still want to go into the mountain?" Still pull the green tree in? It's not good to wait for Brother Shi to be involved. ◢ With ◢ Dream ◢ Small ◢ Say Щщшlā"
"Sister, I'll go find some medicine." Guoguo said while busy working that the pot was too big, and she was small, so she could only stand on a small stool and poke her hand into the pot to make cakes, which was quite difficult, "Sister, if you have this leisure, just make a few more sheets, why do you burn them all by me?" One day, after Liang said worriedly that Guoguo's cooking skills were not very good, Cao'er decided to turn Guoguo, a theorist, into a practitioner, so she turned Guoguo, a fire-burning girl, into a cook, and she almost did it.
Although the fruit theory is good, after all, it lacks practice and is small, so standing in front of this big stove seems so helpless. But fortunately, she is talented and smart, and Cao'er and Liang are right-hand men, so she has been busy for a while, and she has almost mastered the work in the kitchen. It's just grass and she doesn't think it's enough, she still has to do it herself. No, tonight this bread will be baked by one person.
Liang reached out and took the spatula in Guoguo's hand: "Give it to my mother." While skillfully branding.
"Guoguo is still young, you can't tire her if you want her to learn." Although the tone was complaining, the soft voice didn't have much blame, and Cao'er chuckled: "Just let her toss, if she wants to go by herself, let her be." ”
"Doctor Wang didn't say it, it's a good doctor to recognize herbs more, Guoguo wants to go, Qingshu also follows, it's nothing." Liang comforted Cao'er softly.
"Mother, just let her worry about it, like a little old lady all day long." Although Cao'er was reading it, she still knew in her heart that Guoguo was measured, so she didn't talk about it in front of Fang Yuqian.
The next morning, the genius was bright, and Shi Lei came to knock on the door.
The fruit is dug up by grass. The inside and outside of the quilt are really two different worlds. The warm towel in Cao'er's hand was wiped directly on Guoguo's face in the quilt: "It's time to get up." ”
Guoguo still wanted to lie in bed, but now she also sobered up: "Sister, don't get up so early." ”
"Brother Shi and Qingshu are waiting for you." Cao'er said and helped Guoguo wipe her face again, Guoguo reached out and pressed the towel: "How old am I, Cao'er beauty!" ”
Cao'er took Guoguo's coat on the side of the kang and put it on her: "When I go out at this hour, the mountains are full of dew. ”
"It's early in the morning, so it's good to hunt. Do you think Brother Shi made a special trip to play with you? Cao'er frowned at her.
Guoguo didn't say anything, quickly tied up all her hair, washed her face indiscriminately and went to the kitchen. While drinking hot porridge and eating hot cakes, he said to Liang with a grunt: "Mother, can you help me see if there is a ** bag in the back basket?" ”
"What are you carrying a sack for?" Liang muttered in a low voice while helping her check, she didn't expect Guoguo to answer her, but looked at Qingshu and Shi Lei with a gentle face: "You two eat slowly, don't choke." When Shi Lei entered the door with a mist, he didn't want to be embarrassed to eat, but Liang directly stuffed the bowl into his hand and couldn't let him refuse.
When Guoguo and they went out, Liang was still standing at the door, and Cao'er held her hand: "Mother, it's cold in the morning, let's go into the house." Guoguo and Qingshu went to play and came back. ”
"Alas, Guoguo is a big-hearted person." Liang sighed and didn't enter the house until he couldn't see the backs of Guoguo's people.
Speaking of Guoguo's side, after breakfast, my stomach was warm, and I breathed a slightly cold morning air, and Guoguo's interest also came up. I looked around curiously all the way, and I haven't been here for a while.
Because of the constant drought, although it was cold in the morning, it was slightly cool, but the mountains were still quite dry. So it's not very cold, it's just late autumn, and many herbs on the mountain are yellow, which is more difficult to identify, and the fruits and green trees walk very slowly. There are not many plants that Qingshu will recognize, but it does not affect his speed of digging herbs at all, Guoguo was just about to start, he dug up, and automatically and spontaneously put the herbs into his back basket, so, after walking for a long time, Guoguo's back basket is still only a few sacks.
Shi Lei walked in front, looked at them from time to time, did not urge, and watched casually, walked to a dense forest, and told Guoguo and the two of them to go and see the trap they had dug before.
By the time Guoguo and Qingshu realized that the sun had risen very high, Shi Lei had already returned, holding two dangling pheasants in his hands, and the colorful feathers were open and upside down, which was very beautiful.
"Brother Shi, did you actually hit a pheasant?" Guoguo looked at the pheasant's colorful feathers in surprise, "Why didn't you find out how beautiful the pheasant was before?" ”
Shi Lei rarely relaxed his expression: "It's not dead yet." ”
"Oh." Guoguo reached out and touched it, and the chicken body was still warm. There were fresh blood stains on the chicken leg that Shi Lei was holding, "Brother Shi, can you catch it alive?" That is, what is not injured can be fed. Guoguo suddenly came up with the idea of raising chickens, although the family also raised them, but after all, they were not pheasants, and there were not enough.
"This is caught by an iron clip, it's not too early, it's a little difficult to catch." Shi Lei looked at Guoguo's hairy head and said.
"Guoguo, you're causing trouble for Brother Shi again." Aoki's little adult popped up again.
"You don't want eggs?" Guoguo winked mischievously, "Let's go pick up chestnuts, chestnut chicken is delicious." When I thought of the delicious chestnut chicken, Guoguo was in a good mood and immediately felt a little hungry.
"Brother Shi, lead the way, where I fell last time, is it here?" Although Guoguo was injured the previous time, he paid attention to the route when he found the chestnut, so he still vaguely remembers.
Shi Lei nodded, and consciously carried the pheasant to the front to lead the way.
When I came to the chestnut tree, the chestnuts were almost gone, and there were a few tattered yellow leaves floating on the black-brown branches, and there were also a few sporadic burr balls hanging on the branches, and more were empty burr balls that had opened their mouths. Guoguo looked at the ground, fortunately it had not rained recently, and there were some traces of being gnawed by squirrels, but most of the chestnuts were still good, and more chestnuts fell whole, and the burrs protected them well.
Guoguo excitedly beckoned Qingshu and Shi Lei to come and pick them up, and taught them to open the burrs and break the chestnuts inside. But the stone in her hand didn't break the burr after a few blows, but let the burr pierce her hand. The silent Shi Lei took the stone from her hand and opened it with a knock. Guoguo was smiling, shining with a sparkling light, Shi Lei glanced at her smiling face, and then looked away: "You pick up the clean ones, I'll knock on the burrs." ”
Qingshu was a little embarrassed to touch his head, but he tried a few times and smashed his hand like a fruit, and he cheekily picked up all the burr balls in front of Shi Lei and asked him to knock them open.
Guoguo kept picking up the clean chestnuts into the back basket on the side: "Chestnuts are delicious, sugar-fried chestnuts, chestnut chicken, chestnut duck, chestnut stewed beef, chestnut roast meat, etc., oops, it's all meat." Guoguo swallowed her saliva as she spoke, and she was hungry. Qingshu and Shi Lei had heard her chanting all the way, and they didn't feel anything, but now when they see the chestnuts in this place, they still beat the drum in their hearts: Can this ** little thing really be eaten?
