Chapter 54: Into the Mountains and Sweeping
On the second day, Bai Jiaojiao, who was in a somewhat wilted mood, boiled out two dark circles under her eyes, blaming Qin Moshu for that guy, if he hadn't stopped her, she would have known the progress of the case, and she wouldn't have been unable to sleep all night after thinking about it alone.
"Wow, sister, what a beautiful flower." Ah Lian saw that she had a flower purse in her sewing basket, and looked at the front and back when she picked it up. "There are peonies, azaleas, daffodils, so many flowers."
"Do you like it?" She couldn't sleep and was afraid that the embroidery at night would damage the pattern on Qiu Hai's clothes, so she picked up a piece of leftovers and practiced her hands first to make a small purse.
"I like it, it's beautiful. Ah Lian brought it to Sister A. The little man dressed up his empty purse around his white coarse cloth belt and nodded with satisfaction. Sister is even better-looking. ”
"You little devil is so old to love beauty." Bai Jiaojiao said helplessly. "I'm going to find your sister Xiuchun, do you know that you are obediently at home with Ah Bao and Ah Niang?"
"En, Ah Lian knows that Ah Lian is going to pick fruits." Ah Lian is a competent internal response.
"Come back, I'll give you fruit to eat." After picking up a little, Bai Jiaojiao carried a basket and met Xiuchun at the appointed place.
When Xiuchun saw her coming, he waved happily and held her. "Sister Jiaojiao, you're here, I'm afraid you'll be as afraid as they are."
"What don't you dare, it's just a legend." Bai Jiaojiao smiled, she had learned that the mountain Xiuchun said was behind Liujia Village. Originally, it was common for people in the village to go into the mountains to collect some before hunting. But the blame is that no one dares to come to this mountain.
It is said that you can't get out of this mountain once you go in, and it is deep and terrible, and there are man-eating beasts and insects. Moreover, the mountain glows terribly at night, like the eyes of a wild beast, so it frightens the nearby villagers to dare not go to the mountain.
Bai Kyaukjiao didn't believe this, the trend of this mountain is quite interesting, below is a flat slope, fertile soil, and many plants and trees. But when you go inside, the soil is a little harder and steeper. "Xiuchun, what's over there?"
"There's a cliff over there, we can't go in that direction." Xiuchun said hurriedly.
"Do we still have a cliff here?"
"I also heard that there was a survivor who came back from the mountain, but that person was also evil, and he went crazy within a few days of returning. That's why everyone calls this mountain a ghost mountain, and no one comes. Xiuchun was a little scared, but she wondered why Bai Jiaojiao was not afraid at all. Sister Jiaojiao, aren't you afraid? ”
"Are you afraid? I'm afraid why I still came. ”
"I just wanted to find some wild vegetables nearby, but I didn't want to go into the mountains." Xiuchun pulled Bai Jiaojiao's sleeves tightly, afraid that she would make a fool and break in, whether it was a mountain god or a mountain ghost, they couldn't afford to offend. "It's Daddy who said I'm going to protect you."
"Uncle Dajun said?"
"Yes. You don't know, I showed Daddy the clay paper you drew and asked Daddy to make those things, and Daddy looked at you and praised you, saying that he had never seen such beautiful bowls and utensils after so many years of being a carpenter. Xiuchun told Aunt Wang about handing over Bai Jiaojiao to her to make money, and their family looked at Bai Jiaojiao very differently.
"It's also Uncle Dajun's good craftsmanship, I'll wait for my bowl and spoon to be ready." She specially went to Liu Dajun to customize a batch of tableware, chopsticks and wooden plaques engraved with white characters, just for Bai's signboard.
"It's almost there, Daddy is already polishing." Xiuchun will naturally do some simple carpentry work, but the Bai family's business has helped their family a lot, so Aunt Wang asked Xiuchun to follow and take care of Bai Jiaojiao. However, A-Niang didn't say that she would come too. "Sister Jiaojiao, this can't be eaten, it will die."
Bai Jiaojiao, who was squatting on the ground and preparing to pick the mushrooms in front of her, looked at her amusedly. "Who said you can't eat it?"
"I really can't eat it, and some people will die after eating this kind of thing."
There are many types of mushrooms, some are poisonous and inedible, and some are non-toxic and have an abnormal taste, but it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between these, especially in the case of backward knowledge popularization, there is no illustrated book to compare. But she has a closed-mouthed system to buy the market, and just compare the samples of the market to determine which ones are edible.
"Come on. You look at these two, this corolla is flat, dull in color, looks unremarkable but is actually delicious and nutritious, and can be eaten. This corolla is colorful and colorful, and it looks particularly attractive, but unfortunately it is highly poisonous. "The more beautiful something is, the more poisonous it is, and the same is true for mushrooms.
"Sister Jiaojiao, you really can't eat it." Although Xiuchun thought it made sense when she heard it, she still didn't dare to pick them because she was timid, and would rather dig up some bitter wild vegetables than try these.
Bai Jiaojiao shook her head regretfully, chicken stewed mushrooms, mushroom chowder soup, mushroom pork belly noodles, thinking about it makes people drool. It seems that she is the only one who enjoys the blessings. "It's okay, if you can't eat it, just throw it away."
Xiuchun was still worried, but then his attention was attracted by the abundant field of wild vegetables in front of him, "Sister Jiaojiao, look, there are a lot of wild vegetables, here, here, and here." ”
Bai Jiaojiao, who was originally immersed in the surprise picking mountain peppers, put the red and bright peppers into the back basket before running over to dig wild vegetables with Xiuchun, she didn't know much about the wild vegetables, and she didn't have the patience to compare them one by one, but picked some along with Xiuchun's saying that the taste was good.
The two of them had gained, and there were more smiles on their faces, which was an experience that Bai Jiaojiao had never had in his previous life. "This is the wealth of nature."
"Those who are timid don't know that there are so many wild plants here, and this time it is worth it. It's a pity that A-Niang doesn't allow me to come more. After all, Aunt Wang was still afraid of rumors, and the corners of Xiuchun's mouth immediately hung up when she thought of this.
"Xiuchun, look what it is." The white light blocked the harsh sunlight and pointed to a few large trees high up.
Xiuchun raised his head, and his eyes were pierced, "It seems to be an apricot." ”
Apricot ...... Bai Jiaojiao felt that her mouth was beginning to smell sour, "Let's go pick apricots." When he went up the mountain, Bai Jiaojiao rolled up his sleeves and fluttered and climbed up, and Xiuchun was dumbfounded......
The beautiful and picturesque sister of the Bai family climbed the tree in a slippery way! It doesn't look like it's a single move.
"And then." The door of the head was slammed, and when I looked up, I saw Bai Jiaojiao sticking out her tongue apologetically, swinging her feet. "What's the daze, hurry on."
"Oh, oh." Xiuchun also immediately reflected, and began to pick up apricots underneath with her skirt open.
Bai Jiaojiao relied on her body advantage to sway flexibly on the tree, and Xiuchun who watched it was frightened for fear that she would fall. And Bai Jiaojiao, who was having a lot of fun, couldn't stop laughing, and the originally eerie and terrifying ghost mountain became full of life.
