Chapter 753 Stealing Yams (4/5)
Next chapter
These are enough to cook a big dinner in the evening, and everyone stops fishing, has time to rest, and also admires the harvest of half an hour of labor.
Seeing that the girls were sweating hot, Qin Yi propped up the boat again, took them around the river a few times, and finally plunged into a reed.
Qin Yi jumped out of the boat and jumped into the calf-deep river, only to be pricked by the tip of the asparagus in the silt, grinning in pain, and also making the girls feel distressed, complaining that he was such an adult, he was still like a child, unstable!
But in fact, when they were fishing just now, where was they stable?
Of course, you can't say this, otherwise you won't be killed by their delicate white eyes!
The girls hurriedly urged him to come up, wanting to help him check whether the skin of his lower feet was punctured, and there were more bacteria in the water, so it was better to deal with it as soon as possible.
Angel shouted even more obediently, saying that she wanted to help her father with medicine!
But the pain is a little painful, for Qin Yi's big thick skin, it is impossible to pierce the skin, he raised his feet and shook them a few times, deliberately teasing them, and his soaked white toes shook like dancing
The girls were relieved, but they couldn't help but smack him, and Chloe was holding a fishing rod and pestle to hit his big feet!
After making trouble for a while, Qin Yi gathered his thoughts, bent down and groped underwater, picking some tender and newborn asparagus.
This thing has a natural fragrance and is also a characteristic dish.
The asparagus was collected, and the collection in the river water was considered a complete one.
On the shore, the fish and shrimp asked John and them to take them back to the car, and Qin Yi made a few more traps with wild corn kernels, and then took the girls to continue walking, finding some fat straw mushrooms on the roots of the dead trees by the way.
When this thing is stir-fried a little, it gives people a fat feeling of eating meat.
But what Qin Yi wanted most was those wild fungus on the trunk of the dead tree.
Especially in remote locations with their backs to the sun and a humid environment, the fungus is clustered and large and fat!
Such a natural delicacy, just use a lot of oil once, stir-fry with garlic cloves and parsley, and then garnish with a little refined salt, you can match a strong fragrance, the fungus is crispy and chewy, and you can even feel a trace of elasticity!
It is said that monkey's head and morel mushrooms are vegetarian meat, but in Qin Yi's opinion, this wild fungus is also worthy of such a reputation.
City people who yearn for nature regard this thing as the best delicacy, but today's rural people feel that eating this kind of thing is cheap, although it is delicious, but few people go to the wild to collect these gifts of nature.
Qin Yi felt that if it weren't for the low output, he was afraid that the restaurants in the county and urban areas would have to come to buy it!
I especially remember when I was in elementary school, someone came here to buy wild morels, and at that time, several nearby villages, up to the old man, the old woman, down to the elementary school students, all went crazy to collect!
It's a pity that it is already very scarce, and the environment is also changing, and I am afraid that it has become extinct in recent years.
The white fat straw mushrooms, the large clumps of fungus, filled with a basket, were carried by Angel like a treasure, jumping all the way, imagining the evening dinner in the little brain, and couldn't help but look forward to getting dark soon.
There is a piece of wild artichoke on the river embankment, Qin Yi dug some more, this game is the same as ginger, but the meat is white, crisp and sweet, and it is slightly cleaned with bottled water in the backpack, and the girls are curious to taste it, and the crisp chewing sound is endless for a while
"Yi, what's that?"
Chloe chewed a mouth full of sweet juice, fed the baby a little juice, and pointed to a shelf of plants in the farmland on the left side of the river embankment.
Qin Yi had already noticed that it was a field of yams, ridges and ridges, very neat.
"Yam, we also eat it a lot at home."
"So yam looks like this!" The girls nodded their heads and stared curiously.
Yam porridge is often boiled at home, but the girls have never seen yam plants, so curiosity is common sense at this time.
Qin Yi came up with an idea to take them to steal yams!
Chloe and Amanda were eager to try, and Angel clapped her little hands, eager to run over immediately, but Susa and the others felt that something was wrong, and if they were caught, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?
It's just that their eyes are also flashing with excitement, and unconsciously, they have begun to look around
Qin Yi persuaded slightly, and everyone still ran up secretly, Qin Yi, Kolo, Amanda, plus Angel, several people dug together, and the rest of Susa and Rui Qier helped to watch the wind, while urging excitedly and anxiously.
If I didn't have to hold the children, I really wanted to help dig together!
Occasionally, someone passed by on the road to the east, and their urging became more urgent, nervously asking everyone to hide behind the yam rack and wait for passers-by to pass before continuing to dig.
It's just that the yam is buried more than a meter deep in the ground, and everyone went out without tools, Qin Yi still has a knife in his hand, but Kolo and the others can only use sharpened branches to dig the soil, and the progress can be imagined!
After digging for a long time, Kolo and the others simply gave up and joined the cheerleading team of Susa and others, leaving Qin Yi to work alone!
Fortunately, he also knew how to help him wipe his sweat, which comforted Qin Yi a lot.
Digging a pit with a knife is a difficult task.
Qin Yi poked around, it took a few minutes, and he only dug less than half a meter deep, at this time, an old man riding a bicycle on the east road turned off the road and came along the narrow dirt road towards this side of the land!
God, is this here to catch a thief?
Everyone was suddenly startled, and the urging voice became more nervous, Sara and Rickie were more timid, and they were already urging to say no, gently pulling everyone to run away quickly!
Half of the yam was already exposed, and Susa and the others didn't know whether to run away, or to run away after digging while the old man was still some distance away
But Angel was quite excited, jumping up and down, smiling, not too worried, maybe she thought that Dad was the most powerful, and Grandpa couldn't beat Dad when he came!
After all, it was stealing other people's things, Qin Yi was also a little nervous, the knife was closed and put in his pocket, kneeling on the ground, grabbing the yam and pulling it up!
While carefully pulling, he also peeked at the old man riding over there.
The other party seems to have noticed the situation here, and when riding, he turned his head to look this way!
Noticing this situation, everyone became even more nervous, and shouted that they didn't want to, that posture, just waiting for Qin Yi to agree, and then ran away!
Qin Yi is still insisting, he has already been seen anyway, could it be that if he gives up at this time, people will not pursue it?
It's good to fall into some benefits, even if you are caught, you won't be wronged!
It's just that the yam is very immature, and if it shakes slightly, it has a breaking posture, and when it is pulled up a little bit, the delicate epidermis has begun to fall off, secreting mucus, and it is even more difficult to pull out when the hand slips
Qin Yi had to change parts and continue!
When the yam is planted, there will be a vertical round hole with a thick arm, the yam actually grows along the round hole, and the surrounding soil is sparse, otherwise no matter how strong Qin Yi is, don't want to pull out the yam that will break when he shakes it!
Qin Yi was skillful, and the yam was slowly pulled out.
The girls were nervous and embarrassed, their faces were flushed, but they were also a little excited to see this scene, so they didn't have to work in vain, didn't they?
Qin Yi didn't dare to shake, what a pity it was broken!
But the girls couldn't wait, Chloe and Amanda directly helped, but as soon as they grabbed it, with a little force, the yam made a crisp sound and broke
Qin Yi spread his hands speechlessly, the two girls were suddenly embarrassed, Susa and the others were funny and nervous, urging everyone to run quickly!
A gust of wind was like, accompanied by the coquettish laughter that relaxed after being nervous, the girls followed Qin Yi and ran back to the river embankment!
Angel laughed and screamed, the three little ones didn't know why, but they were carried by their mother and ran, bumpy like a cradle, very comfortable, so they also giggled, the scene was hilarious and funny.
Qin Yi took a piece of yam more than half a meter long, and when he looked back again, he found that the old man on the bicycle had already passed the ground, and continued to ride to the west along the small dirt road
The family looked at each other and made trouble for a long time, and the emotional family was just passing by!
They all felt funny about the weakness of their hearts when they did bad things, and after making a fuss for a while, Qin Yi washed the yam and peeled it, and each person divided a piece, which was sweet and crispy! (To be continued.) )
