Chapter 8 Wild Bamboo Shoots
After agreeing with the Tong family, Zhang Wei was taken to the river by the two little ghosts.
In this era, there were no industrial factories or anything, and the environment was not polluted, so the water was still very clear, and the river was overgrown with green weeds, and the river was not wide.
"Sister-in-law, be careful, I heard that the river is deep, my grandfather said that many people drowned before." Mu Xue took Zhang Wei's hand, "Sister-in-law, don't go into the water, okay?" β
This girl's big wet eyes stared at Zhang Wei, for fear that Zhang Wei would be like the adults said, as soon as she got out of the water, she would be gone.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Zhang Wei touched the little ghost's head and said softly.
After walking along the river for a while, I found a suitable place to put the fish basket, thinking that tomorrow afternoon, Uncle Tong's fish basket will be made up and ready to be put in.
I can't think about it, and the more I think about it, the hungrier I get.
Looking at the pole, suddenly Zhang Wei saw a lot of bamboo growing on the edge of the pond not far away, according to the current season, it is the season for bamboo shoots to grow, and there will be bamboo shoots where there are bamboos!
Thinking of this, Zhang Wei led the two imps to the pond.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing with this? Can this be eaten? Mu Yu asked puzzled.
"That's right!" After finishing speaking, Zhang Wei asked rhetorically, "Have you never eaten before?" I don't know if this thing can be eaten? β
Mu Yu nodded.
Zhang Wei was overjoyed, no one knew the goods, and she could take the lead in possession!
This small bamboo shoot is different from the kind of bamboo shoots that grow in the bamboo forest, which grows in the low bamboo bushes, and the chopsticks are thick, and the thicker ones are as thick as the little thumb, and they are very tender.
"I'm telling you, this thing is edible, and scrambled eggs are especially delicious."
Hearing the egg, Mu Yu and Mu Xue secretly swallowed their saliva, Mu Xue opened her eyes wide, and asked, "What does the egg taste like?" Sister-in-law, have you eaten it? β
Zhang Wei: "......" poor baby, I haven't even eaten eggs!
Zhang Wei said distressedly: "In the future, my sister-in-law will earn money and invite you to eat, and you will know what it tastes like!" β
"Thank you, sister-in-law." The brother and sister said in unison that they thought their sister-in-law would definitely invite them to eat eggs.
Soon, the small wild bamboo shoots on the shore are finished, and they must go to the slope below the shore, but under the slope is a pond, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the water.
"Wait for me up there, and I'll go down and see." After Zhang Wei finished speaking to the two little ghosts, she grabbed the bamboo in front of her and carefully went down the slope.
Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh: The dignified miracle doctor has fallen to this point, hey......
"Sister-in-law, be careful!" Mu Yu and Mu Xue on the shore were nervous.
"Your sister-in-law is amazing! Don't worry ha. Zhang Wei smiled.
Sure enough, there are many small bamboo shoots growing in the bamboo bushes below this slope, some of which have grown very tall and the poles are very hard, which can no longer be eaten, Zhang Wei feels a little pity.
"I'll throw it up, and you guys will pick it up." After Zhang Wei finished speaking, she grabbed the bamboo and climbed up a little, then peeled off the bamboo bushes, and threw the bamboo shoots in her hand to it, Mu Yu and Mu Xue picked up the bamboo shoots thrown by Zhang Wei together.
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing here?" Tong Baoshu came over with two bundles of pine hair, he saw that the Mu Yu brothers and sisters were here, and specially came over to say hello, he was the youngest son of Tong Bo and Mrs. Hong, nine years old this year.
"Brother Baoshu, my sister-in-law is down there, she said that this thing is delicious, you can scrambled eggs to eat." Mu Yu said.
Tong Baoshu put down his burden, pulled the bamboo shoots in Mu Yu's hand, and said in surprise: "Can this thing be eaten?" β
"My sister-in-law said she could eat it if she could!" Mu Xue said categorically.
At this time, Zhang Wei had already climbed up, because all the edible bamboo shoots below had been picked, and this nest of bamboo bushes was quite lush, and she picked a handful.
Zhang Wei said: "Let's continue to pick, this is not enough for all of us to eat." β
"Sister-in-law Mu, do you still want to go? I also go, I know where there are bamboo bushes. Tong Baoshu said.
"Okay, what about your loose hair?"
Tong Baoshu excitedly pointed to the house more than two hundred meters away, and said, "I'll leave it there at Grandpa Ding's house, and I'll pick it up when we come back later." β
After speaking, Tong Baoshu rushed away with pine hair.
Soon, Tong Baoshu went and returned, walked in front to lead the way, and said excitedly: "Sister-in-law Mu, there are many bamboo bushes on the side of me just now, there must be a lot of small bamboo shoots there, and there are also a lot of them under the ridge at the foot of the mountain." β
Mu Yu immediately became excited: "Then let's hurry up!" β
At the place where Tong Baoshu said, Zhang Wei saw two bamboo bushes again, and picked a large handful of small bamboo shoots in them, and now the small bamboo shoots have been picked, Mu Yu and Mu Yu's four little hands can't hold it, so Mu Yu picked up his clothes and wrapped all the bamboo shoots in his clothes.
"Look at the big bamboo bushes here, Sister-in-law Mu, there have been a lot of these little bamboo shoots in recent years." Tong Baoshu said as if to take credit.
"Then pick it quickly, pick it all, you can't finish it, scald it with boiling water, dry it, and eat it in winter."
In this era, there were few varieties of grain, low yields, high taxes, and a large population, so most people did not have enough to eat, and they all experienced what it was like to be hungry.
So Zhang Wei said that this thing can be eaten in the sun, and the three little guys are like being beaten with chicken blood, and the feeling of being hungry is too uncomfortable, and they don't want to be hungry.
Speaking of eating, Zhang Wei felt more and more hungry, seeing the large bamboo bushes in front of her, she estimated that there would be no shortage of small bamboo shoots, so she picked it clean and went back to get food, otherwise she couldn't bear it.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wei bent down to play with the bamboo bushes and began to work.
Sure enough, there are a lot of green bamboo shoots growing in this bamboo bush, the chopsticks are so long, and they are still very tender, Zhang Wei is also a little excited in her heart, there is no way, she is too poor here, and she has no ability to do anything.
Suddenly......
What is this? Egg? Wild eggs?
"Hahaha......" Zhang Wei laughed out loud, and after laughing, she felt that she was unproductive, and a few eggs could be happy like this, it was really unproductive!
"Sister-in-law, what are you laughing at?" Mu Xue blinked her eyes and asked.
Zhang Wei picked up the wild egg, shook it, and said, "I picked up the egg!" I'll go back in a while and make wild eggs and scrambled bamboo shoots for you to eat! β
"Really?" The three little guys came over one after another, and when they saw the wild eggs in Zhang Wei's hand, they were so excited that they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Mu Yu said: "Sister-in-law, you are so lucky! I've heard that other people have picked up wild eggs and sold them for a lot of money! β
Mu Xue said very sensibly: "Sister-in-law, we don't eat, can we exchange it for money for my eldest brother to see a doctor?" β
"Sister-in-law, sell it, exchange it for silver to treat the eldest brother, it's better to sell it." Mu Yu said excitedly.
Two children who don't know what eggs taste like can say such things, Zhang Wei's heart is sour.
Zhang Wei touched her little head: "That's good!" β
Tong Baoshu was the first to react: "Let's look for it again, maybe there will be more!" β
Because of Zhang Wei's good luck, the enthusiasm of the three little guys is even higher, while picking bamboo shoots, they are also looking carefully with anticipation, will they also encounter a nest of wild eggs?
