Chapter 028: The Whole Family Mobilizes

"I see that this thing tastes good, in the afternoon, you give the summer grass to your mother to see, call the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law, and let the girl lead the way and tell us how to distinguish between the bamboo shoots that can be eaten and the ones that cannot be eaten, let's pick more and come back to eat, so as to save some money."

"This ......," Liu Qiyue turned around and looked at the snow.

"Mother, yes. However, before picking, you need to beat the bamboo to drive away the snakes that may come out of the hole early, otherwise it will be very dangerous. ”

Hua Shangxue's statement frightened Liu Qiyue.

"Girl, did you encounter a snake?"

"Mother, what are you talking about, I haven't encountered any snakes, if I do, I can come back safely. It's just that the mountain god grandfather said that there are occasional snakes that come out of the hole early in this mountain, and it is always right to be more or less guarded. ”

"Just do what the girl says. This bamboo shoot ......" Hua Jinglei said and looked at the bamboo shoot in his eyes again, and stopped talking.

"Dad, you can take it back directly, there is still a little bit in the bucket that you haven't gotten, I'll get it again." Liu Qiyue responded.

"It's fine." Hua Jinglei didn't refuse, and left with the pot.

"Mother, where are we left?" Hua Shangxue said flattened, she ate two from beginning to end, and let them all take away.

"I went to the mountains to pick in the afternoon, and I didn't have anything to eat, and I wasn't in a hurry to meet at this hour."

"That's right. However, mother, if we pick a lot, I think we can choose some big-looking, good-looking ones and send them to Master Ji's Zhuangzi to sell, and sell them for ten cents when they are tied, what do you think? Hua Shangxue couldn't help asking.

"Although the idea is good, but the incident of eating bamboo shoots caused a lot of life, and not everyone can accept it."

"It's a bit tricky." Hana-Shangxue frowned.

Liu Qiyue saw Hua Shangxue's serious look, smiled and shook his head, and the three of them ate rice bran steamed buns and drank some remaining soup and had lunch.

As he said before, Hua Jinglei took a short rest after lunch and brought people over. After saying hello a little, he handed over the flower summer grass to his grandmother Huangmei, and led the way by Hua Shangxue, followed by Liu Qiyue, Liu Dongqing, Wang Yixiang and Hua Jinglei, four adults, one of whom carried a basket, and at the request of Hua Shangxue, he also brought the sack into the mountain together.

When they arrived in the mountains, Hua Shangxue led the four people to identify the bamboo first, and then picked one as a sample. Try not to move the ones that are too small, and keep them for a while before picking them when they grow up.

The speed of mining by the four adults is undoubtedly very fast. Every time I go to a place to pick, I beat it with a stick to drive away the snakes that may be lurking in before I go in and pick it.

I have to say that because no one usually picks this kind of small bamboo shoots, the small bamboo shoots here can basically be said to be flooded, but after half an hour, I picked a basket and went back and forth into the bamboo forest, dragging sacks in and out.

If you can't put it in the basket, you will pile it directly next to it, and before you know it, you will pick it for an hour, and the small bamboo shoots are piled up like a hill.

Liu Qiyue didn't let the flowers go into the snow, so she could only pick out the small bamboo shoots of the same size and length and put them in her own small Louzi, and after they were full, she helped pick out the old ones, and told them not to move when the four of them came out, and they couldn't eat them when they were old.

Those who didn't go at noon came back before the time. No way, too many, filled the basket with all the sacks that I had brought with me.

Put it in a basket that is too long, and put it in a sack and tie it up. However, the weight was too heavy, and the four of them couldn't hold it, so they simply let Hua Shangxue go back and call people.

Carrying a ten-pound basket on her back, after Hua Shangxue returned home, as soon as she put the bamboo shoots on the ground, the grandmother next door brought her younger brother over.

"Why did you come back alone?"

"Grandma, my grandfather asked me to come back and call people, there are too many things to hold, and by the way, bring some sacks to load, I will be ready to go to the geography to call my father and them over to carry things." Hua Shangxue replied with a smile.

"What are you shouting, you just run back and let them carry the things back in batches, why bother your uncle and their work in the field? Isn't it just some small bamboo shoots that can be eaten, and the whole family can be busy with labor? Huang Mei immediately disagreed, who said that eating small bamboo shoots at noon, the taste was not bad, but it could not delay the affairs in the field.

Hua Shangxue naturally knows Huang Mei's thoughts, doesn't he just think that this little bamboo shoot will be eaten by his own family, and he has no money to earn but wants Lang Fei to be here at any time, how can he be happy.

Hua Shangxue just smiled, and didn't bother to explain too much to her grandmother, who only had money in her eyes.

At least until she is unsure of the way to make money, it is better to mention this matter less, if it is done, it is easy to say, if it is not, it is not allowed to die.

"Milk, brother, let you keep watching, I'll call someone." Hua Shangxue said and ran away, not giving Huang Mei a chance to speak.

"You damn girl......"

Behind her, Huang Mei was so angry that she went to the fields under her own tenants, and the fields of the eldest uncle, the second uncle and her father were all together, which saved the effort of running around.

When the snow arrived, the plough was just done, and it was also a hassle-free.

"Dad, uncle, second uncle, are you done with this job?" Hua Shangxue asked, looking at the three people standing by the ridge.

"I just got it done, and I'm getting ready to go back. Girl, why are you here? Where's your mother? Hanashita asked, washing the dirt off her feet.

"Mother and two aunts and grandfather, we went to the mountains to pick bamboo shoots at noon, which is the one that my mother brought you to eat, and I also tasted it, and said that I would take it to pick, saying that it would save some money. We went at noon, but we picked a little too much to take, so I asked me to come and call someone, and by the way, I brought a few sacks over and loaded them for you to carry back. ”

"Big brother, second brother......" Hua Shita heard Hua Shangxue say this, turned his head and called out to the two brothers beside him.

"Since it was called by my father, I naturally want to go. Let's go. Hua Jingtuan said so, the second uncle Hua Bohu naturally nodded, first went home and took the sack and followed the flower snow to the mountain, and soon a large family of people carried a full six sacks of small mountain bamboo shoots plus three bamboo baskets of bamboo shoots and brought them back to their homes.

When they went home, many people in the village whispered about the things of the past years, how there was a famine, how people died, and even looked at their own family with pity.

For the eyes of the people in the village, Hua Jinglei and the others didn't think so, anyway, only people who have eaten this thing know what it tastes like, eat dead people?

They've all eaten at noon, so if they want to die, do they have to wait until now?

After telling them how to cook them one by one, the three brothers went home to peel bamboo shoots.
