Chapter 41 Life in the Mountains and Forests
Li Yangqing listened to Sun Liya's funny words, "hahaha......" smiled and bent over, buried his head in his chest, his shoulders shook slightly, and looked up at Sun Liya's greedy appearance, "Sister Liya, I made this pot of soup casually, with mushrooms, cakes and wolf meat, I don't know if it's delicious or not, I haven't eaten wolf meat yet!" ”
"I haven't eaten it either, second uncle, have you eaten it?" Sun Liya turned her head and asked Sun Chong, who was sitting next to him.
Sun Chong looked at Lin Liya with a smile, "You girl, you haven't eaten, of course I haven't eaten, although I often hunt, where do wolves dare to take the initiative to provoke, they all live together in groups, if you see it, it's best to avoid it early, wolves are very grudgeful, and smart enough to drag the enemy to death, no matter how powerful I am, I don't dare to fight, I usually hunt some small animals." ”
"Well, that's it! Thank you second uncle for telling us this, I will definitely run away early when I see it in the future, no, it is impossible for me to live in the mountains and forests in the future, and I should not see it, hehe! ”
After the three of them finished laughing, their stomachs had been aroused by the aroma of the food stewed in the pot, and they screamed "gurgling", there was only one pair of chopsticks here, there was no superfluous, Li Yangqing got up and broke a branch at the entrance of the cave, and made two pairs of chopsticks, one pair was given to Sun Liya, and one pair was used for himself, looking at the boiled meat in the pot, his eyes were shining, and he swallowed saliva.
Sun Chong saw that there was only one bowl, "You two can eat the pot!" Scoop my portion into the bowl with a spoon! After Sun Liya and Li Yangqing saw Sun Chong eating, the two couldn't wait to put their chopsticks into the pot, and they first picked up a piece of wolf meat and put it in their mouths.
Sun Liya chewed a few times, swallowed it into her stomach, raised her chopsticks and said: "This wolf meat is very firewood, there is no oil and water, and there is no pork meat, but it is good to have meat to eat, I will eat it again, maybe it will be more delicious." "Although I dislike the lack of oil and water, the chopsticks stuck into the pot have not stopped.
Li Yangqing also felt a little chai after eating, just imagine the dry kind of beef jerky, "For me, I think the smell of this wolf meat is a little fishy, I may not be very used to it, I eat more vegetables and cakes." ”
Compared with the two little girls who commented while eating, Sun Chong never spoke, only knew that he was blindly immersed in hard work, for people who are used to eating hard, everything that can fill his stomach is delicious, there is no good and bad to say, quickly eat the meat and vegetables in the bowl, and even drink the soup in the bowl cleanly, then he looked up at the two little girls who were still eating, "I feel that the taste is okay, although the oil and water are less, but after cooking for a long time, the mushrooms and cakes are stained with the taste of meat, very fragrant!" ”
"Uh-huh, let's usually pick some mushrooms and fungus or something! You can find it in this rainy forest. Li Yang sighed as he ate the delicious mushrooms in his mouth.
"That's the reason, we have to save this bit of wolf meat to eat, I don't know how long this rain will fall, when the river will recede, in addition to food, we usually have to reserve some firewood, we can't wait for the dry ones to burn out, then the ones are not burned, and we will pick up some wet ones back, and they can be burned when they are slowly dried."
Sun Liya drank the last mouthful of soup in the pot, stretched out her body with satisfaction, her head was raised, and while she closed her eyes, her mouth was still tasting the taste of meat, like a well-fed cat, "My stomach is so full!" I haven't eaten enough for a long time, I've always eaten cold, and finally a hot meal, after eating, my body is warm, and my strength is enough, I go out in the afternoon, I will be able to resist a large bundle of firewood, just wrap it on me! Second uncle, you can recuperate in the cave. Sun Liya patted her chest and reassured.
Li Yangqing followed Sun Liya's words, "Uncle Chong, don't worry!" The two of us went out in the afternoon to have a look, and came back with some firewood and mushrooms. ”
Sun Chong was silent for a moment, and solemnly told the two, "Don't be too careless, this forest is not the safety you imagined, if it weren't for the attack of the rainstorm, the animals would have either migrated or hidden, we didn't encounter danger, now we are short of food, they are the same, the shortage of food does not rule out that some animals run out to forage, so you must be careful, don't go far, everything is based on your own safety, you know?" ”
"Listen to your second uncle, don't worry!" Sun Liya assured.
Li Yangqing also said: "Uncle Chong, you are right, you have enough experience, we will pay attention to safety and not go far." ”
"Yangqing, I don't worry about you, you are meticulous, you are Liya, although you are much older than you, but I am a little worried, she is more arrogant, a little sloppy, you keep an eye on her, let her not run around impulsively." Sun Chong was still not at ease and continued to advise.
"Okay, Uncle Chong, I'll keep an eye on Sister Liya."
"Second uncle, don't worry! Sister Yangqing saved me, I said at the time, in the future, she asked me to go east, I will go east and never west, listen to her, hehe! Sun Liya touched her blushing face with her hand, a little embarrassed to be such a big person, and others to worry.
"Okay, you know how to be measured, I'm a little tired, go sleep for a while, you all wear rainproof things."
"Okay."
"Okay." The two replied in unison, the pain of separation from their relatives, the two have been buried in their hearts, and now there is an older elder who does not forget to care about himself, and his heart is very warm.
Sun Chong lay on the haystack bed he had purchased in the cave, closed his eyes tiredly and rested, Li Yangqing and the two put on their homemade robes and hats, Sun Liya took a kitchen knife, Li Yangqing took a sickle, and then emptied the contents of the cloth bag, and waited for a while to load things.
Raise your feet out of the cave in the rain, a little out of the air conditioning outside, the cave is much warmer, fortunately it is still autumn and not yet winter, I don't know if you survive until winter, the water has not receded how to pass!
The wind mixed with the rain, blowing to the two, there is no shortage of firewood in the mountains and forests, but they are all wet, some of the dense branches under the trees are drier than the branches that are directly rained, the two collected for half an hour, then tied them with vines, sorted out two large bundles, Sun Liya found a thicker wooden stick as a flat burden, picked it up, and first put the collected firewood under a big tree.
The two began to look for mushrooms, fungus and the like, under some bushes, they found a lot of mushrooms, Li Yangqing only dared to pick some that looked edible, and the bright colors did not dare to touch, just these picked mushrooms, and when they went back, they still had to let Sun Chong, who had been in the mountains and forests for a long time, identify them, not mushrooms that were not colorful were not poisonous.
"Sister Yangqing, come quickly, there are a lot of fungus here!" Sun Liya squatted down not far away and beckoned to Li Yangqiang, Li Yangqing heard the shout, ran in the direction of Sun Liya, only to see a big tree that broke off at the waist, it may be a tree that has been dead for a long time, the body of the tree is rotten, and it is already overgrown with weeds, and you can only see the general appearance of this tree.
"Sister Yangqing, do you see that there are a lot of fungus growing among the weeds! This tree is so big, if we look carefully, we will definitely be able to pick a lot of fungus! How about we eat fresh fungus in the evening? ”
"Okay, we'll make fried fungus in the evening, it's delicious?"
"Sister Yangqing, what is fried fungus? I haven't eaten it, but what you make must be delicious, hehe! ”
After speaking, he lowered his head and stretched out his hands, the two carefully pulled away the weeds and found the fungus, the luck was good, they found almost four catties on this tree, put it in the cloth bag, Sun Liya picked up the firewood, and the two of them accelerated their pace to the cave.
Before the two entered the cave, Sun Chong woke up, this is the vigilance of the hunter, when he heard the slight sound of the cave entrance, Sun Chong held the tiger head fork in his hand, carefully distinguished the movement outside, heard the footsteps of Sun Liya and the two, then put down the weapon in his hand, got up and prepared to go to the entrance of the cave to meet the two people who went out.
When Sun Liya and the others arrived at the entrance of the cave, they were surprised to see Sun Chong standing here, "Second uncle, why are you awake?" Know we're back? ”
Sun Chong turned sideways and let the two into the hole, "I heard footsteps outside, and guessed that you were back, so come out and take a look, and see that your harvest should be good." ”
Sun Liya put down the firewood, tore off the vines and let these somewhat moist firewood pile together to dry, Li Yangqing also opened the cloth bag and poured the fungus and mushrooms on the ground, "Uncle Chong, you see, I picked a lot of fresh mushrooms and fungus today, can you help me see if these mushrooms are poisonous?" ”
When Sun Chong saw Li Yangqing pour out the mushrooms, he got up and squatted in front of him, stretched out his hand to carefully distinguish the mushrooms he picked back, and picked out twelve mushrooms that were umbrella-shaped, cream-colored in the middle, white to nearly white in the folds, and white in the flesh, "Yangqing, you are very careful, let me see that it is right, many people have bright wild mushrooms that are poisonous, and those with ordinary colors are not poisonous, which is wrong, like the twelve white mushrooms that are picked out now are highly poisonous, called white poison umbrellas, which are very toxic, and after eating them by mistake for about a day, vomiting will occur." , diarrhea and other symptoms, one or two can be fatal, and there is no specific treatment drug, I see no problem with the rest, these twelve mushrooms hurry up and throw it away! Sun Chong pointed to the twelve white mushrooms that had been picked out on the side.
Li Yangqing was also afraid in his heart, sure enough, in the mountains and forests, he had to be careful everywhere, not careless, there was no one who shouted for help when something happened, Li Yangqing found a leaf and put the twelve mushrooms on it, and after thinking about it, he still didn't throw them, "Uncle Chong, I'm not going to throw them away, when we go down the mountain, it's so messy outside, it may be useful one day, I will take care of them carefully." ”
Sun Chong was a little surprised by the little girl's plan, and he didn't say anything to persuade him, "Okay, you just put it away properly, put them in a ventilated place and dry them slowly!" Keep it longer. ”
"Okay, thank you Uncle Chong for mentioning something, I'll cook stir-fry for you tonight, how about fried fungus with wolf meat?"
Sun Chong couldn't help but be a little curious, "What is stir-frying?" I haven't heard of it yet? ”
Sun Liya was also interested in hearing the food and came to Li Yangqing's face, ready to listen.
Seeing that both of them were staring at him, Li Yangqing smiled, "This stir-fry is said to be made by the cooks of the nobles of the capital, and our family has some business dealings with the Cantonese restaurants in the town and learned to stir-fry." Li Yangqing didn't know how to tell the two of them the reason why he would have been, and it was better to hide these secrets from others, so he found a reason to prevaricate the two.
"That's it! Sister Yangqing, you are really amazing, and you know the owner of the Canton restaurant in the town, so I look forward to your cooking tonight. Although Sun Chong also wanted to continue kissing and asking, he also restrained his thoughts, which was inconvenient for others to ask.
"Let's do it, then! I'll wash the fungus I'm going to eat tonight, and we'll wash and dry the rest, Sister Liya, help cut the wolf meat into thin slices! Let's make a fire for Uncle Chong! ”
