Chapter Seventy-One: Fungus Vegetables, King of Iron and Calcium
At six o'clock in the morning, the sky was still bright, and 911 gave full play to its role as an alarm clock, waking up Guo Yuhe no more than a second.
Thinking of today's plan, Guo Yuhe didn't dare to be lazy, and immediately got up and dressed, and Guo Yusong also woke up under the cheerful cry of the second goods.
The two of them washed and cleaned up, and then ate a piece of the steamed bun that was covered on the edge of the kang hole last night, and then went out with a big back basket left by the previous owner.
It is now the end of September, and all the farm work in the field has been done, and no one is working.
The two raised their dogs and walked to the bud rice field at the back of the village with the dew.
After arriving in the field, Guo Yuhe was responsible for picking bud rice leaves, while Guo Yusong held a kitchen knife to chop bud rice stalks.
There is no way, there is no sickle at home, so I can only pick up the tools left by the previous owner to take the first step.
Fortunately, they chose a house yesterday and chose a desperate family, and there were more or less tools in the house, so they just picked them up and used them.
In less than half an hour, Guo Yuhe had already dragged a basket of bud rice skins, and Guo Yusong also made a bundle of sturdy ones, seeing that the sky was almost bright, the two of them did not delay any longer, and went home directly with their things.
After the farm was busy, everyone didn't go to work, and they got up late, and the two brothers and sisters didn't meet two figures on the way back.
After returning home, Guo Yuhe ran the bract leaves with hot water, and then dried them on the branches in the courtyard.
Guo Yusong also removed the leaves of the bud rice pole he carried on his back, and the pole was used to pin the fence, the leaves were easy to burn, and they were piled together to be used when the kang was burned at night.
"Brother, let's go to the mountains to pick up some firewood after getting these, otherwise we won't have enough storage, and it will be difficult to survive after winter." The Lord has been cooking and heating all this year without firewood, and now it is only the end of September, and I feel cold in the morning and evening, so it is better to plan early.
"Okay, but Xiaohe, you can just watch from the side." In the morning, when his sister dragged the bud rice leaves, he was very worried, for fear that the injury on his body would recur, but his sister's interest was higher than his, so he let her go, but this firewood was not an easy job, and he didn't dare to let his sister do anything.
"It's okay, I don't pick vegetables, I pick wild vegetables, although there is a bit of compensation, but we can't sit back and eat, we have to rely on our own hands to live a prosperous life." When Guo Yuhe said this, it was like a blooming sunflower, and Guo Yusong was also a lot more comfortable to watch.
Yanshan Village is located at the southeast foot of Heicang Mountain, it stands to reason that the back is a big tree to enjoy the shade, there is such a rich mountain, people's living standards should not be too bad, but this mountain was stationed by the Japanese army before liberation, there is an area buried with mines, although it has been divided, but it can not dispel the concerns of the villagers at all, coupled with the sudden increase of wild beasts in the forest in recent years, causing the villagers to be discouraged, only dare to operate on the periphery of the mountain.
Even the hunters in the village only dare to follow the marked routes.
In Lao Guo's house before, the two brothers and sisters often did not have enough food and clothing, and when they were hungry and couldn't stand it, they followed the marks left by Orion to the mountains to find something to eat to pad their stomachs.
In my memory, they walked a little further into the mountains and had a large piece of fungus, and they could pick up some tender ones to eat this month.
It was still early, Guo Yuhe followed Guo Yusong slowly, and every small bundle of firewood they picked up, they would cover it in the bushes on the side of the road, and take it again when they came back.
The second cargo jumped up and down next to Guo Yusong for a while, and ran to Guo Yuhe's side for a while and wagged his tail and begged to touch his head, the whole dog looked like he had taken drugs, and he was extremely excited.
When they walked to the edge of the forest, there were no obvious road traces, so they looked for the hunter's traces and walked inside, in order to prevent the second cargo from getting lost or running to the wrong place, Guo Yuhe also deliberately took a rope to tie the futon and tied it to his side.
They chatted and picked it up, and then they came to the bushes in their memory.
This vegetable field was covered by bushes, and they had to walk twenty meters east according to the place marked by Orion, and the two of them were very hungry at that time, otherwise they would not dare to come in this unmarked place.
After carefully navigating the bushes, I saw the field of wild vegetables in my memory.
Because no one picks them, the wild vegetables have already been swayed, and the old ones can't be eaten, so they can only pick up the young leaves and pinch them down.
Fungus vegetables are also known as "iron and calcium king", the nutritional value is very high, in Guo Yuhe's current situation, it is best to eat this wild vegetable.
Guo Yu's hands and feet were fast, and after a while, he helped his sister pinch half a basket.
This kind of wild vegetable is good, but it is not resistant to preservation, and the place where it has been pinched will turn black for a long time, so the two of them are not greedy.
"Brother, if you pinch these old leaves again, don't Aunt Dani's house have chickens? Just make chicken food, and then ask Aunt Dani if their old hens can hold the nest, and we can also raise two chickens. "In these years, the two chickens in every household are very precious things, and even the eggs have to be saved to the supply and marketing cooperatives for money.
"Okay, let's go back to my aunt's house and ask, and we'll eat eggs every day in the future." Guo Yusong couldn't help but start swallowing when he said this, he grew so big, he had never eaten an egg, and his sister was more pitiful than him.
After raising chickens, he must take a good look at them, raise them well, and strive to have eggs for his sister every day to nourish her body.
"Well, I'll eat eggs every day from now on." This should be the dream of all children in this era.
There is not so much attention to making chicken food, Guo Yusong directly took out the knife pinned to his waist, and got a small bundle in less than ten minutes.
After that, the two of them and one dog returned to the original route.
Along the way, they moved about 20 meters marked, and picked a lot of wild mushrooms, as well as August melons, September yellow (cattle messy mounds), and wild sour dates after seeing them.
It may be that it is too exciting to receive so many goods, Guo Yuhe broke a September yellow, and the second goods ran out violently.
She was so frightened that the fruit she was peeling fell to the ground.
"Xiaohe, are you okay? Did you get flashed by the dog thing? When Guo Yusong heard the movement, he also quickly jumped down from the tree and pulled his sister to look up and down.
"I'm fine, second cargo, hurry up and call it back, don't step on the mines." Although the area is not included in the division this year, who can say clearly about such a thing as landmines.
The adults in the village have lived here for so many years and don't dare to run around, let alone the 'simple dog' of the second goods.
"I'll go." After Guo Yusong finished speaking, he wanted to chase after him in the direction of the second cargo, but Guo Yuhe was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled the person along.
"Don't, the second cargo has already run out, you can't run anymore."
