Chapter 68: Up the Mountain

Lin Zhu went up the mountain for the sake of the wolfberry trees, it was already spring, the trees began to sprout, she had to rush to collect cuttings before the wolfberry trees sprouted and released leaves. Also store these cuttings in the space for a few more days. Ever since Lin Zhu discovered that the space could improve the quality of the plants stored in it, she had made it a habit to put every plant, seed, or fruit, etc., she could get her hands on in the space for a few days.

On the way up the mountain, Lin Zhu is also looking around to see if there are any wild vegetables that can be eaten, spring is the time when everything is in full bloom, and the wild vegetables that grow at this time are fresh and taste good, and they can also become a plate of delicious food after cooking. However, people here do not think of eating wild vegetables as a pleasure, but only as an ingredient for wrapping their stomachs. After all, wild vegetables are a lifesaver for poor people who can't eat.

After the moistening of the spring rain, some wild vegetables have grown, such as mother-in-law and endive, which have grown young shoots, and other unknown wild vegetables, which have just revealed a little bit, it seems that it is not the time to pick, Lin Zhu can only give up the plan of picking wild vegetables. Hurry to the place where there are wolfberry trees.

When she got to the wolfberry tree she picked for the first time, it had already been more than half an hour, much faster than the first time she came here, and Lin Zhu felt that her body was much healthier and more energetic.

Lin Zhu looked for suitable tree strips around the wolfberry tree as cuttings to collect, and as soon as he saw it, he cut it with scissors and put it on the ground next to it. It has been constantly drying, and there are four or five trees here, and about fifty or sixty branches of Lin Zhu have been cut off for cuttings, but this is far from enough, because it has to be distributed to the village chief's family and the Wang family, and they have to go to another place to collect.

After last year's search. Lin Zhu and Aunt Li found a total of five wolfberry bushes, each of which looked like about five or six trees. In this way, Lin Zhu collected a total of about 200 shoots suitable for cuttings from three places, and collected these branches into the space. Seeing that it was almost noon, if she didn't go back, Chang's mother should be in a hurry.

Yu Linzhu beckoned the black beans who were playing around and were ready to return, "Black beans, we're going home, come out quickly!" Lin Zhu shouted a few times, and waited for a while, but Hei Dou'er did not appear, and she raised her voice and shouted again. Sticking out his ears and listening carefully to the silence around him, the cry of black beans gradually came from far and near, but the sound was a little muffled, as if he was holding something in his mouth.

"Black Bean, here, here, hurry up." Lin Zhu shouted a few more times, and only then did the clear sound of black beans come from the bushes. Finally, Black Bean'er came out from the direction of Lin Zhu's left hand, still holding a gray thing in his mouth. Lin Zhu fixed his eyes and saw that it was a hare. The hare's neck had been bitten off by the black bean, and its head was drooping, and it looked like it had lost its breath. The black bean tooth forest bamboo has been seen. Although the black beans are still small, their teeth are not small, and they are very sharp. Lin Zhu often feeds it bones and the like, and it can bite it with a click. However, it was able to catch up with the rabbit, but Lin Zhu didn't expect it. Looking at its usual lazy appearance, I didn't expect it to be very explosive when I went up the mountain. Even hares can catch up.

"Black Bean, that's amazing. Trumpet! Lin Zhu praised and kissed empty. Black Bean'er wagged her little tail and asked Lin Zhu, who was the master, to take credit, sticking out her tongue and panting heavily. "Good, go home, today's lunch is braised rabbit meat, and the rabbit legs are yours. Let's go. Lin Zhu immediately gave a reward. A man and a dog walked quickly down the mountain.

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Lin Zhu looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he took out the branches of the wolfberry tree, of course, only one hundred and ten roots, these were for the village chief's family and the Wang family, and her own share would be taken out in a few days.

"Mother Chang, I'm back." Lin Zhu put the branches in the backyard and shouted into the house. Chang's mother is worried about why she hasn't come back yet? As soon as I heard her voice, I immediately walked to the back door, and saw that her face was sweaty, and there were dirt, and grass clippings in her hair, and she was very embarrassed. Walked over and took off her back, patted the dust on her body, and picked up the grass clippings on her head, "Why did you come back, you can't go for so long next time, go wash your face." Drove Lin Zhu to wash, Chang's mother also walked in with the back, and suddenly saw that there seemed to be something in the back, "Girl, what's in the back?" ”

"Oh, it's the rabbit that Black Beans caught." Lin Zhu's voice came from ahead. Chang's mother took it out and looked at it, and then checked it with her hand, it was quite heavy, weighing four or five pounds, "Yes, it's really a good dog." She happily took the rabbit into the kitchen. Mother Chang, let's make braised rabbit meat today and leave a rabbit leg for black beans to eat. Lin Zhu's voice came from the front again.

"Zhilu said, don't worry, I'll clean up the rabbit first." Chang's mother smiled and agreed.

Lin Zhu washed his hands and face, returned to the back room, changed his clothes first, and then went to the kang to see Fu Dou'er's little buns, he was sleeping soundly at this time. After kissing his little face, Lin Zhu went out, first went to the front yard to see the pepper seeds dried in the basket in the morning, and after planting rice seedlings, he was also ready to give pepper seedlings, which is one of the tools that Lin Zhu is ready to use to make a fortune, as well as watermelons and peanuts, which can only be planted when the weather is warmer. This pepper, not to mention Linjia Village, has not been planted in a large area within a hundred miles of Song County, and some are also planted in a few pots, treated as a potted plant, this time Lin Zhu is going to plant half an acre in the ground, and some will be planted in the yard. She had more than enough seeds in her hands.

The vegetable plot in the yard still needs to be prepared, and Lin Zhu also plans to grow more vegetables, since she is a peasant woman, she has to ensure self-sufficiency in this. Green onions are a must, as well as leeks, cucumbers, beans, eggplant. As long as there are vegetable seeds that can be found, Lin Zhu plans to plant some, she remembers walking around the village, she saw some people planting some gourds, loofahs, pumpkins and the like, but pumpkins are called gourds here, and they are long. It is said that the gourd can be worth half a year's grain, but Lin Zhu is not for the half year's grain, just for the variety of dishes on his table, and the taste of the tender gourd is really good.

There are space weapons, Lin Zhuzi is not worried about whether the things she grows can live, she is only worried about what will happen because it is too delicious. However, her home is in the middle of nowhere, and even if the vegetables in the yard grow too well, no one will find out.

In fact, the people of Linjia Village only know Lin Zhu because there is such a person as her in the village, only the village chief's family and Wang Shudun's family are more familiar with her, and then the families of the girls who play with her still know her a little. With fewer people coming and going, there are fewer opportunities for her family's situation to be exposed. Besides, as long as she hadn't eaten the vegetables that Lin Zhu had grown with space seeds, no one would believe that she could grow vegetables that were better than the old crops as a nine-year-old child. Lin Zhu also knew this, so now she was not worried at all.

Lin Zhu took a few turns in the yard and had already made a plan in his heart. Only then did she turn around and go back to the house, at this time Chang's mother had already cleaned up the rabbits, what Lin Zhu didn't expect was that Chang's mother, who didn't know how to cook, was very skilled in killing rabbits, and asked her curiously, she said that her husband used to be able to hunt, and she couldn't do anything else, and this braised rabbit was the best.

Sure enough, the braised rabbit meat made by Chang's mother came up, and the fragrance was fragrant, and after Chang's mother also sat down, Lin Zhu first sandwiched a piece of rabbit meat, put it in his mouth and tasted it, "Hmm, hmm, it's delicious." Lin Zhu stretched out his thumb while eating, and compared it to Chang's mother. Talk after eating. Chang's mother sandwiched another piece of rabbit meat for her and put it in the bowl.

The black beans were hungry for the fragrance when the braised rabbit meat was not out of the pot, and at this time it was around the feet of Chang's mother, and Chang's mother put a whole rabbit leg specially prepared for the black beans into the food bowl.

After eating, Lin Zhu told Chang's mother about his plans for the yard, "Okay, do as you say, I'll help you turn the ground," Chang's mother looked at her with a smile, the more she got along with Lin Zhu, the more she felt that she was an assertive child and very capable. As a peasant girl, she is very good. "You're still young, I'll do the heavy work, and you give instructions on the side."

"Hee-hee, let's do it together, that fast." After Lin Zhu finished smiling, he went out to find tools.

When the two of them were about to work, Fu Dou'er woke up, and he couldn't let him lie on the kang alone, just when the back bag that Lin Zhu originally made came in handy. Chang's mother wore it, put Fu Dou'er in it, and put a hat on his head to block the sun, and the three of them worked in the yard.

Because of the addition of Fu Dou'er, their labor has become less boring, and teasing him from time to time can be regarded as relieving their fatigue. Of course, the efficiency will be greatly reduced.

Lin Zhu plans to sort out the place where the cuttings of wolfberry trees are to be cut first, all of which are near the courtyard wall, and there is also a large open space outside her yard, so it is also suitable to sort out that place as a place for cuttings wolfberry trees. There are no other people around her house, so no one will object.

Chang's mother was inconvenient to work with a small bun, Lin Zhu asked her to rest on the side, and went to turn the ground by herself, the hoe was too heavy, the land was too hard, for a villain like Lin Zhu, it was not easy to turn the ground, but she still persevered. You can't always think about relying on others, growing vegetables is easier than farming, and finding someone to help is a bit of a joke.

Therefore, in the courtyard and outside the courtyard, Lin Zhu and Chang's mother took turns turning over, and it took three days to finish. But the two of them were tired.

The people of Linjia Village went to the field to plant seedlings one after another, and saw that Lin Zhu and the village chief's family and Wang Shudun's family planted seedlings a few days earlier than everyone else, and the seedlings were still very thick. The two families were able to breed such good seedlings because they followed Lin Zhu's work, and it was difficult to tell the method without Lin Zhu's consent, but they were all in the same village, and they didn't look up and see each other. The two families still came to ask Lin Zhu if he could teach the villagers how to raise seedlings. For this question, Lin Zhu's answer is yes, she thinks that there is no need to hide this, only if the people in Linjia Village grow good rice as a whole, she will not be too conspicuous in it. Besides, such an opportunity to make friends with the villagers, she is happy to give this favor to the village chief's family and the Wang family. (To be continued......)
