Chapter 135: Wild Vegetables
The next day, Yuehua and Chestnut got up early in the morning, they made an appointment to go to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots together, and the two of them moved a hoe into the mountain, and Chestnut was an expert in this regard. Running neatly to the edge of the cliff, looking for the kind of place with big bamboo, Yuehua saw that there were bamboo shoots rising on the ground, and he was about to dig down with a hoe and was stopped by a chestnut.
"It's all coming out of the soil, it's old, and it's not delicious to dig it up, and you have to carry it back, how hard it is! You see so much bamboo here, just this place is empty, I see if there is definitely no bamboo popping here. ”
Yuehua put away the hoe very obediently, and the chestnut took the hoe and knocked the soil on the ground little by little, to prevent a hoe from digging down the bamboo shoots, the chestnut dug a little bit probably because he felt that there was something in it, squatted down, picked up the soil with his hands, and sure enough, she saw a little bamboo shoot tip coming out, she stood up and gently dug out the soil next to her to pull out the bamboo shoots.
Chestnut glanced at Yuehua: "You look at this and it's tender." As she spoke, she peeled off the outer skin, revealing the white inner skin: "When you eat, you will open it all, you look for it here, and I will go to that piece." So saying, he moved his hoe and left.
Yuehua also learned to dig like chestnuts, but she didn't dig it for a long time, and sure enough, you have to look at experience and technology, and the chestnuts have been dug several times, seeing Yuehua empty-handed and smiled: "You have to find a place where bamboo bursts out to dig." ”
Yuehua spread his hands: "I found it, no!" Yuehua dug for a long time and didn't dig out anything, the hoe was still on the ground, the hoe knocked to the ground and smashed a small hole, Yuehua saw that something seemed to come out of the pit, she thought it was bamboo shoots, took the hoe to dig, and suddenly a small snake jumped out of it, Yuehua was so frightened that she screamed and fell to the ground, the chestnut thought something was wrong, threw the hoe and came over, Yuehua dragged the corner of the chestnut's clothes: "Snake!" ”
"There are snakes everywhere in the mountains, what's there to be afraid of, most of the snakes on our side are not poisonous."
Yuehua didn't dare, she was easily pulled up by the chestnut, hugged the hoe and hid behind the chestnut, and the chestnut glanced at her: "Don't be afraid, look at me." ”
Chestnut glanced at the ground, winter had just passed, the snake had not yet come out of the hole, just saw a piece of ground on one side was very loose, there was a small hole on the top, she walked over, dug a little and sure enough, she saw a snake popping out of it, and her right hand clamped the snake at once.
"This mountain is full of this kind of little green snake, it is not poisonous, ordinary snakes will not bite, so even if you see a poisonous snake, it doesn't matter, go around it, it will not suddenly come up and bite, just remember not to panic." While explaining to Yuehua, Chestnut threw the snake casually and threw it far away, and the snake seemed to be scared and didn't dare to come again, so it jumped out of a long place.
"In the summer, I had prickly heat on my body, and my father went up the mountain to catch two snakes and went back, stewed soup for us to drink, and I didn't get prickly heat for several years."
Yuehua really admired Chestnut's boldness, but she was indeed not as afraid of snakes as she was just now, but she didn't dare to walk alone anymore and followed Chestnut.
Yuehua followed behind the chestnut, and saw a snake lying in front of her, she subconsciously hid behind the chestnut, thinking that the snake saw two people here, and she could run away.
"You see it's scared of us."
"Yes! Don't be afraid. ”
The most indispensable thing in the mountains in the south is bamboo, the two dug a small basket in the morning, the bamboo shoots are still fresh to eat, the two dug so much and did not dig, turned back, the chestnuts passed by the water, the skin of the bamboo shoots was removed, so that it was light to pick up, and the two washed their hands and faces at the water's edge.
On the way back, Yuehua thought about it, and divided half of the bamboo shoots that she dug up today and handed it to the chestnut: "You sent it to the Xu family for me and handed it to Mrs. Xu, just say that I gave it to her, she is now pregnant with a child, and she can't eat greasy things, this thing is refreshing and just right to eat." ”
The small river in the mountains, the bamboo raft is better than the boat, the raft is light, people stand on it, and they can jump out of the distance at once, and the chestnut finds a bamboo raft and sends it over.
Hongluan refused to say anything about her, Yuehua didn't want to ask in detail, that matter passed, Yuehua also put it down, Hongluan refused to come with her, she still remembered after all, and sent something over.
A plate of fried bacon with bamboo shoots was served on the table, the bamboo shoots were broken as soon as they were bitten, they were very tender, they were swept away as soon as they were put on the table, such a delicious thing was also worth the two of them going around the mountain for a long time, and they also encountered a snake, and they were scared to death by the snake.
In the afternoon, the two of them went to the slope to look for bracken and wild leeks and daylilies, at this time these things have just emerged, especially wild bracken, this will be very tender, all over the mountains, after a while they picked a small pot, and wild leeks, the smell is not as pungent as the leeks planted, more fragrant, and a pot is also a pot.
It is best to tear off the fresh yellow flowers, blanch the stew in hot water, and the two of them have a new harvest on the edge of the cliff of the country road--this honeysuckle comes out.
Honeysuckle is a good thing to clear heat and detoxify, Yuehua has never seen honeysuckle growing in the book before, thinking that it is like camellia with different varieties and different colors, and now I know that a tree grows gold and white flowers of two colors, especially good-looking, but at this time honeysuckle has just come out, Yuehua They only picked the flowers that have been ****, and the others are kept.
In the evening, scrambled eggs with wild leeks, minced bracken meat, and cold daylily are really not enough to eat. Unconsciously, Yuehua gained a few pounds, and Yuehua touched her swollen stomach with an inexplicable sadness, but now as a member of the chestnut foodie group, she still followed the chestnut out to find food the next day.
The next day, the two dug a basket of bamboo shoots, and the two also found the jelly grass on the mountain, which can be made into jelly when picked back, and it is too cold to eat in this weather, but the jelly made of jelly grass in summer is the best thing to cool and quench thirst.
Hongluan accepted the bamboo shoots sent by the chestnuts, remembering that Yuehua and they lived in the mountains, and it was not easy to buy things, so he cut two catties of pork for Yuehua and them, and weighed some pastries and sent them over, in fact, the Hongluan people who didn't drill the horns of the bull were not bad.
Yuehua was playing well here, and He Heng was not so easy on his side, they disguised themselves as ordinary horse thieves and shuttled through the hinterland of Dali to fight wits and courage with the enemy.
ps: My hometown is in a national nature reserve, these things are what I ate when I was a child, my grandmother also gave us a lot of wild daylily and wild leeks and bracken every year, I have been studying in the field for so many years, writing an article to recall that these are really delicious in the world, however, due to environmental damage, many wild vegetables can still be found now, but many wild vegetables can not be found, here is a digression, it is really time to protect the environment.
