She lifted the tattered piece of cloth that had been used as a curtain for the door, and saw that Ah Niu had returned with a large basket of freshly cut grass. Later, she found out that this was the third basket he had cut back.
"Ah Niu!" Something surged in Jin Fei's heart, and he shouted softly.
Ah Niu heard Jin Fei's cry, and before he could put down the big basket, he ran over happily, "Sister, you guys got up so early, I saw your father-in-law practicing kung fu in the woods in front, it's so amazing!" And my sister is beautiful, you are so compatible! ”
Messire? Jin Fei couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this baby is really precocious! However, she didn't need to explain, even if she explained, she couldn't explain it clearly, who was so coincidental that she found out that the baby in front of her was in danger.
Jin Fei gently took off the back basket behind Ah Niu, and she gently rubbed his cold and ruddy little face, "Ah Niu, in fact, Shi Wei can be planted, my sister taught you to plant Shi Wei, you don't have to rush to such a dangerous place on the edge of the cliff next time!" However, it will not be planted until the beginning of spring next year, and my sister will teach you to choose a good place to plant and how to plant it. The amount you picked this time is very large, and it can be used for several months after drying. ”
"Can you grow your own? Is it like growing vegetables? When Ah Niu heard this, he was extremely surprised, and the light in his eyes became brighter.
"Yes! My sister taught you to plant some of the Shiwei we picked yesterday, so that you can remember! ”
"Come here! The hill behind your house has a field of rocks and moss, which is perfect for planting rocks! Jin Fei said. While taking Ah Niu to the place she was talking about.
"This is it! It is most suitable to plant Shi Wei in March, and what my sister will tell you about below, you have to remember it carefully! Select the old plants with more leaves of Shiwei, dig up the roots, cut into a section every three to four sections, soak them in water for a day and night, absorb enough water and then plant, each row and each plant are spaced about one foot apart, the moss on the soil is planed, and one to two sections of Shiwei rhizomes are put in. Compact with moist soil with a lot of decaying plants. That's it! One more point. After planting, once a year after planting, sprinkle fertile soil with many decaying plants, about half an inch thick, and remember to water it in times of drought. ”
Jin Fei demonstrated it while speaking, and asked Ah Niu to plant twice according to the whole process.
"Ah Niu! You're awesome! I'm learning much faster than my sister! ”
Ah Niu, this kid is really smart. One click. Jin Fei couldn't help but praise happily. "Remember where it was planted!"
The sky finally began to brighten, and the morning light was faint, and it seemed that it was another sunny day.
"Thank you, sister!" Ah Niu showed an innocent and shy smile again. "Sister, it's dawn, I'm going to cut bamboo!"
"Chopping bamboo?" Jin Fei looked puzzled, "What are you doing cutting bamboo?" ”
"Grandfather can weave some bamboo baskets, bamboo dustpans, and bamboo baskets to sell for money! When my grandfather is well, I can make it up, but I'm still learning, and I haven't learned it yet. ”
Ah Niu's embarrassed look made Jin Fei's heart sour, she could have given the child a silver ticket, so that he could have lived a worry-free life from now on, but she was worried that this would harm him, and she was worried that the child's simplicity and diligence would be slowly worn out. She is not a savior, she can't help every unfortunate family she meets with a lot of money, everyone has a life, and she hopes that she can teach him to fish and give him some skills.
She silently accompanied Ah Niu up the mountain.
It's a big wild virgin bamboo forest! The bamboo sea is vast, verdant and dripping, if you jump on the bamboo tops, your toes gently tiptoe over the bamboo sea, how comfortable and leisurely.
However, romance and leisurely will always remain in dreams, and the actual situation at this time is that a young child with a difficult life is cutting a large bamboo with a diameter of more than one decimeter with a sharpened firewood knife, once, twice, three times......
"Ah Niu! Sister help you chop! ”
"No need! I'll do it myself! I can do it! ”
"Do you usually cut bamboo by yourself?"
"I used to come with my grandfather! Grandfather has been in poor health lately, and only one person has come! ”
Jin Fei didn't help after all, but just quietly accompanied him.
The little body didn't know how long it took to cut, and finally only the last few knives remained.
"Sister, stand far away! Beware of the bamboo falling down and crushing you! ”
Before the bamboo fell, Ah Niu kicked hard with his foot, and the bamboo slowly fell, and Ah Niu cut off the last connected place with a knife.
He didn't have time to breathe, and immediately began to drag the tall bamboo down the mountain.
The bamboo is very long, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, the mountain road is rugged, the mountain rocks and shrubs are overgrown with thorns, and in some places it is muddy because of the mountain spring water, so it is really difficult to drag it home like this. And Ah Niu still stubbornly insisted on dragging himself down the mountain independently.
He sometimes took a break in the middle of the way, changed his position, and then continued to drag. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans spilled down his cheeks from his forehead, and his little face had already swelled into the color of pork liver.
"Wait! Ah Niu, have you ever eaten bamboo shoots? ”
"Can you eat bamboo shoots?" Ah Niu stopped, and he looked surprised.
In such a dense bamboo forest, how many bamboo shoots should there be, Ah Niu didn't know that bamboo shoots could be eaten, and Jin Fei was also surprised. "Not only can bamboo shoots be eaten, but there are many ways to make them, and they taste good! It's not the season yet, and there is nothing to eat in winter, so come here and dig a lot, and even more in spring! ”
"The bamboo shoots are fluffy, can you eat them?" Ah Niu listened to Jin Fei's words, but he still looked puzzled.
Only then did Jin Fei know that it turned out that the bamboo shoots mentioned by Ah Niu were referring to the ground part of the bamboo shoots.
She shook her head helplessly, and while looking around with her eyes wide open, she searched for a while, and finally found a bamboo shoot tip that popped up.
"Ah Niu! See what this is? ”
"Bamboo shoots! However, it's so small and short, my sister doesn't say that I really can't find it! ”
"Hmmm! This season, it's really rare! Give me the hatchet! Let's see if you can eat it when you dig it out! ”
Although Ah Niu had some regrets that he could not immediately drag the bamboo down the mountain, he had delayed some time to do other work, but he was really curious, if he could really find something to eat, their family would be less hungry.
However, he was still a little puzzled, "Can you eat the bamboo roots underground?" ”
Jin Fei smiled and didn't answer, dig it out first and take a look, if you can't eat it, wouldn't it make Ah Niu very disappointed.
With a little effort, perhaps because of her luck, she quickly dug up a very tender and fat bamboo shoot.
Jin Fei first used a firewood knife to cut off the bottom roots, and then peeled off the leaves on the bamboo shoots layer by layer, and explained to Ah Niu very patiently and meticulously while doing these actions of taking care of the bamboo shoots.
Ah Niu used to dig up some healing herbs, all of which could not be eaten casually, it was possible to eat the dead, and he had never dug anything that could be eaten underground, and his eyes stared at the bamboo shoots that had been peeled off in Jin Fei's hands without blinking.
"Huh? This thing is not the same as the roots of old bamboo! It has roots too! I understood that instead of eating the leaves of the ground or the roots, I was eating the crunchiest parts of the earth! ”
Ah Niu excitedly gestured with his hand.
"Ah Niu is so smart! Right! It's just eating this young stem from the ground! The outer leaves are not edible, and neither can the bottom roots! ”
After a while, he found two bamboo shoots that sprouted bamboo shoots, and this time, Jin Fei instructed Ah Niu to dig by himself, cut off the roots, and peel off the skin.
Looking at Ah Niu's happy face, Jin Fei opened his mouth and asked, "Ah Niu! Are there many people here who can weave bamboo baskets, bamboo dustpans, bamboo baskets, and bamboo baskets? ”
"That's a lot! All the uncles in our clan can make it up! Ah Niu replied proudly. (To be continued......)
