Chapter 3 The three of them pick chrysanthemums together
The long, oblique sunlight shot into the green mountains one by one, and the light dust rolled in the light one by one. The elongated backs of the three women are intertwined.
"There are not many chrysanthemums at this time, and in another month or two, then the chrysanthemums will bloom everywhere, which is beautiful." Su Xiaomei carried the bamboo basket on her back and looked around as she walked, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, look!" There's a small chrysanthemum there. "Let's go over there.
"There are only a few chrysanthemums in this area, and the others are buds." Su Liushi was a little worried: "I don't have to look for other places anymore." ”
"Flower buds are also fine, the medicinal effect is the same," Banxia squatted down and made a demonstration, "After a while, when you pick it, like me, go to the branches, as long as the flowers, you have to ensure that the flowers are not broken, you know?" ”
"Don't worry, second sister-in-law." Song Xiaomei patted her chest and rolled up her sleeves to do it.
While Xiaomei and Su Liu's were seriously picking flowers, Banxia pulled out several handfuls of wild chrysanthemums and threw them into the space with roots and leaves.
The sun was about to set.
"We're almost done, let's go back first." Banxia rubbed her waist, this body hadn't worked for a long time, and it was a little unbearable, "We are picking some wild vegetables and covering them on the bamboo basket." ”
Su Liushi agreed, and Xiaomei seconded.
When I got home, the second elder of the Su family had already returned, Su Dashan limped over and took his wife's bamboo basket: "Today's field ended early, my mother has already made dinner, and I am waiting for you to come back." ”
Daya and Dabao were also picked up by Su Dashan.
A large family gathered together, drinking wild vegetable gnocchi soup, and if you were lucky, you could eat the meat scraps left over from noon.
Su Wang's: "The old family, the second family, why did you pick so many wild vegetables and come back, on this hot day, the wild vegetables can't be put down, this must be all broken?" ”
"Mother, there are chrysanthemums under the wild vegetables, my sister-in-law and my little sister went to pick chrysanthemums together in the afternoon." Banxia grinned, "When I was a child, I often went up the mountain with my father to pick chrysanthemums and sell them in the medicine hall, which was dozens of dollars a pound, and if it was made into dried chrysanthemums, it would cost more than 100 yuan a pound!" ”
Su Wangshi was shocked: "This is amazing, this wild chrysanthemum can be sold for so much money!" ”
"yes, it's too late today, I'll teach you how to make dried chrysanthemums tomorrow morning."
At night, everything is silent.
Banxia went to the space and planted the chrysanthemums plucked in the afternoon on a small open space in the space.
Collect the wheat and put it in the thatched hut with your mind, and then start a new round of sowing. Looking at the pile of ripe ears of wheat in the thatched house, Banxia supported his forehead and had a headache: it would be nice if it could be automatically processed into fine noodles, but just after thinking about it, the ears of wheat on the ground became the same amount of fine noodles.
The corners of Banxia's mouth twitched...
Immediately, his eyes lit up, staring at the fine noodles on the ground, and silently thought: It would be better if I could turn into a bowl of hot noodles and appear in front of me!
…
…
Well, it's her delusion~
Early the next morning.
"Knock, knock, knock" knocking on the door startled a flock of birds outside the house.
"Come on, come on, knock on the door again and it will collapse." Banxia rubbed her pantothenic neck.
After breakfast, a group of people gathered around Banxia.
"Second sister-in-law, what are we going to do?" Xiaomei asked.
"Don't worry, listen to me. Big brother, your main task this morning is to weave bamboo plaques and bamboo frames, especially bamboo plaques a little more," Banxia began to assign tasks, turned his head to look at Su Liushi and Su Xiaomei, and said seriously, "The most critical thing is to be handed over to you, sister-in-law, you go to boil a pot of hot water first, after the water boils, the chrysanthemums will be steamed through the water, little sister, you are responsible for moving the steamed chrysanthemums to the yard to dry, father, mother, you can rest assured to go to the field, the work at home will be handed over to us." ”
"Good, good, good." Father Su happily dragged Mrs. Su to the field.
One of the most leisurely is Banxia, walk here, look there, quite a leader to inspect the posture.
"Sister-in-law, remember, you must boil the water before you can put wild chrysanthemums, otherwise the color of the flowers will turn black."
"Okay," Su Liushi asked, "how long will the chrysanthemums be boiled when they are put in?" ”
"About half a cup of tea."
The first pot of wild chrysanthemums is good, the color and luster are good, Su Xiaomei put the flowers on the bamboo plaque outside the courtyard, and separated them one by one: the second sister-in-law said that the flowers can't be stacked together, the petals are overwhelmed, and the price is low.
Banxia picked up the bamboo basket on his back: "I'll go to the mountains to see if there are any new chrysanthemum bushes!" ”
"Banxia, slow down on the road, don't go into the mountains!" Su Liushi instructed.
"Got it~"
The morning in the green mountains was a little cool, the sun shone down through the branches, falling on the face of Banxia, a few bushes of wildflowers in the distance bloomed just right, and the breeze blew, shaking the jade color.
Banxia walked to the depths of the jungle, wanting to try his luck and see if he could find any precious medicinal materials, planting them in the space, which could make more money than selling dried chrysanthemums, and the money would come quickly.
There was a sound of "rustling" in the grass in the distance, the half-human-high grass shook, and Banxia quickly hid behind a big tree hugged by two people, and secretly looked: two rabbits came out of the grass, fluffy.
Banxia rubbed his hands together and prepared to do a big job. Dodge into the space, try to manipulate the space with your mind to move towards the rabbit, getting closer and closer... Suddenly appeared, appeared behind the rabbit, leaned over, and quickly grabbed it, one in each hand.
It wasn't early, Banxia went to the space to pick a small chrysanthemum in a bamboo basket, found some weeds to cover it, and ran home with two trembling rabbits. Just now, she has seen that these two rabbits are a male and a female, and they can give birth to dolls.
"Little sister, I'm back!" Someone holding a rabbit is unusually conspicuous.
"Second sister-in-law, where did this rabbit come from?" The little sister ran over, hugged a rabbit and put a cushion in her hand, "About three or four catties, you robbed it!" ”
"These two rabbits are stupid, they hit the tree by themselves, and I will take the opportunity to pick them up~" The corners of Banxia's mouth are about to grin to the root of his ears, "One male and one female, let them give birth to dolls, there will be a lot of rabbits in the future!" ”
Spicy rabbit dice, braised rabbit head, eight-treasure rabbit meat... The more Banxia thinks about it, the happier she becomes!
"Second aunt, can I hug the little rabbit~The little rabbit is so cute~" The big girl and the big treasure came over, blinking a pair of charming big eyes.
pinched the big girl's face: "It's okay, you have to be careful when the big girl and the big treasure hug~"
Su Liushi walked over: "After a while, I will ask Da Lang to make a sturdy rabbit nest, and they will run away." As he spoke, he pulled Banxia to the bamboo frame, "This is the dried chrysanthemum we made in the morning, you see, is it feasible?" ”
"It looks good, the color is good, and then it will be dried in the sun for ten to fifteen days." Thinking that I will soon have the first money in my life, I will be happy for half a summer.
Su Liu's family went to make lunch, and the little sister over there was already helping to clean up the bamboo basket in Banxia: "Second sister-in-law, you picked a lot of small wild chrysanthemums today, and the three of us picked them together just in time!" ”
"Today I walked to the north of Qingshan and found a large patch of chrysanthemums!"
