Chapter 514: Ascending the Mountain (5)
After Jinbao got the third aunt's eye signal, the dart in her hand quickly shot, and at the same time, Leng Mei'er's empty left hand shook rapidly, and two gray dots flew out of her palm, which actually hit the prey at the same time as Jinbao's dart.
The three pheasants flapped their wings twice before they died, and then they did not move.
It was the first time that Xiangxiang had seen hunting with darts, and when she heard the noise in front of her, she immediately ran over.
"Did you catch it? Didn't let the pheasants escape, did you? ”
Jinbao touched his sister's little face: "I caught it, be careful not to fall it." ”
Xiangxiang heard her brother's words and immediately ran over, only to see three gray and yellow pheasants lying on the ground.
She ran over and picked up the one that Jinbao hit, and just wanted to pick up the other two, but Sun Zhi had already picked them up, "I'll take it, I'll take it, my back basket is the lightest!" ”
A big hand took the two pheasants in his hands.
Sun Zhi: ......
Meng Dekui didn't look at his expression, he picked up the pheasant that the two daughters-in-law had beaten and took a closer look, and sure enough, the pheasant's fatal wound was on the head.
And what killed them were just two inconspicuous pebbles the size of beans.
Meng Dekui no longer knew what kind of expression he should use to express his mood at the moment.
This is not the first time he has seen his daughter-in-law make a move, but every time he sees it, he feels a little ...... It's hard to put into words!
The daughter-in-law is too strong, so strong that he feels incredible!
"Host, there's a wild pear tree one hundred and thirty-four meters ahead."
Leng Mei'er didn't care about Meng Dekui's expression, and pulled him straight forward, "Hurry up, I smell pears." ”
A few children immediately chirped, "Oh oh, go pick pears and eat, pick pears and eat." ”
Sun Han said with a worried little face: "Wild pears are the most unpalatable, sour and astringent, so I don't want to eat them." ”
But when she saw the pear tree, she ran towards the pear tree with a cheer, "It's a wild white pear, it's sweet, big brother, go up to the tree and pick pears." ”
The pear tree is not very tall, and it is surrounded by trees, which is why it has not been found.
Sun Xu was about to go up the tree by his little sister, but was stopped by Sun Jin.
"Big brother, let's let the third brother go, you're too heavy, I'm afraid the pear tree won't be able to hold it."
Sun Zhi hurriedly said: "I'll come, I'll come, I'm the best at climbing trees!" ”
But before he could roll up his arms and sleeves and climb up, he was picked up by Sun Xu from behind, and then lifted him to the branch.
"Be careful, don't scratch your clothes, our mother is going to be angry."
Sun Xu said as he handed the small basket that Sun Han was holding to Sun Zhi and asked him to pick the pears into the basket.
Leng Mei'er glanced at the clothes on Sun Zhi's body, there were five or six patches sewn on a pair of pants, and the blouse was a little better, but it was also sewn three or four times.
After washing a few more waters, it is estimated that I can't even sew the seams.
Not only him, but Sun Xu's clothes were not much better.
She forgot that after her sister-in-law divorced, although she got a few hundred yuan, she had to build a house, buy food, and provide for a few children to go to school, where would she have spare money to buy clothes for the children?
The tree is not small, Sun Zhi has filled the two small baskets, and there are still a few on the tree that have not been plucked.
It's not that he doesn't want to pick it, it's that he can't reach it.
Leng Mei'er said: "Just let them grow, the birds and finches can satisfy their hunger when they are thirsty and hungry." ”
Meng Dekui looked at the back basket of the group, and the things were really not missing, "Let's go back, there are already a lot of these things." ”
"Okay, then go get our basket of sweet potatoes and go home."
When it comes to being able to go home, the children are also a little homesick, after all, they have been walking for many hours, and they must be a little tired of carrying things.
"Go home, go home."
A group of children were chattering, and they really didn't plan to look for anything anymore, so they walked back in a hurry.
On the way, he took back the sweet potatoes hidden in the tree, this basket was the heaviest, Meng Dekui carried it directly on his back, and carried two baskets of white pears in his hands, so he couldn't let two six or seven-year-old children carry it.
When they went down the mountain, they met several waves of villagers who went up the mountain, and when they saw the harvest of this group of people, they all showed envious eyes.
When I got home, it was almost three o'clock.
Li Jinling was pushing the three children on the floor of the house with a cart and walking over, and the three little ones were stretching out their arms and legs from the car to play happily.
"You're back, hungry or not, do you want me to get you something to eat?"
"Sister Li, don't bother, let's have dinner early.
How long have they been awake and have they eaten powdered milk? ”
Li Jinling said: "I ate the milk powder an hour ago, and I shouldn't be too hungry now." ”
"Okay, I know, Sister Li, go and rest for a while."
It is still very easy to coax the children to be fed, especially when there are many people in the family, and the eyes of the three children are too busy.
"Boss, help me clean up those chickens, and we'll eat pheasant pot at night."
Meng Dekui: "Okay, I'll do it, do I need to get something else?" ”
"There's still dried kelp at home, soak some, and I'll do the rest."
Meng Dekui first found a basin, took out some of the kelp in the West House and soaked it, and then prepared to start boiling water to remove the pheasant's feathers.
But before he could do it, Sun Xu took over the work of burning the fire.
Leng Mei'er saw that it was not her turn to coax the child, so she took a basin and went to the yard, the persimmons drying on the eaves of the window had been dried into persimmons, she picked up a small basin, cleaned it with washing water, handed it to Sun Xu, who was burning the fire in the kitchen, and stuffed it into Meng Kui's mouth with his own hands, watching him swallow a persimmon the size of a child's fist, he suddenly felt that his mouth was so big, he could eat persimmons one by one!
"Isn't it delicious?"
Meng Dekui nodded, "It's stronger than eating persimmons, it's sweeter, and it's delicious." The daughter-in-law gave another one. ”
Leng Mei'er stuffed another one into his mouth and got up and entered the house, "Come on, come on, Xiangxiang Hanhan, come and eat persimmons, can you taste it?" ”
The children took one and tasted it.
"Okay, you can eat, by the way, help me watch my younger brothers and sisters, and I'll get you dinner to eat."
Sun Zhi took a bite of the persimmon with one hand and patted his chest with the other and promised: "Third aunt, don't worry, I am the most experienced in watching children, and I promise to take good care of my younger brothers and sisters." ”
Of course Leng Mei'er is relieved, anyway, the child is lying in the car, and it is impossible to fall.
Eating pheasant pot is different from eating mutton shabu.
Shabu mutton is eaten raw boiled dipping sauce.
The pheasant pot needs to stew the chicken, then put it in the hot pot, heat, and you can also use shabu-shabu shabu in it, but you don't need dipping sauce, you can eat it with rice, and you can eat it with just shabu-shabu.
Leng Meier directly steamed a pot of rice, mixed a little noodles, kept it for the noodles to eat, and then took out the dried eggplant and dried beans and soaked them.
