"Good!" Xuan Ye nodded, put the rabbits that had been knocked out into the back basket, and covered them tightly with the firewood he had picked up.

When the two of them went down the mountain, they almost didn't encounter any more plants that were still alive, and finally Xu Tiantian observed all the way, pulled off those brown wild vegetables one by one, and looked at the roots, fortunately, there were still several kinds of wild vegetables whose roots could be eaten.

It's just that although it has been buried in the ground for a long time, it will affect the taste to some extent. But when every family is hungry enough to gnaw on the bark, it is already a blessing to have these full stomachs.

"Xuanye, you see, although these vegetables have withered, their roots are still edible, we can pick some of these things back."

Xuan Ye took the wild vegetable in Xu Tiantian's hand, looked at it carefully, and finally dug some up.

"Ah, isn't this a shiitake mushroom?"

When Xuan Ye was looking for wild vegetables, Xu Tiantian looked at a few small umbrella-like mushrooms next to him, and suddenly became excited, his eyes were shining, as if he had seen the chicken stewed mushrooms steaming on the table.

Xuan Ye heard Xu Tiantian's surprised voice, turned his head and stared at the large piece of things on the ground that he didn't know what it was, "Tiantian, what are these?" ”

Xu Tiantian put the basket on her back on the ground, it was a pity that the basket was not big enough today, so she knew that she would carry a few more baskets.

"This is a good thing, forget it, I think you are also a big young master, even if I tell you, you may not know what this is."

But Xu Tiantian was a little curious, why was there no one to pick such a large area of mushrooms here, and the crops on this mountain seemed to be very rich, but no one had noticed it?

Xu Tiantian smiled and bent her eyes, "We have excellent luck today, you uproot these things first, and when we go back tonight, we will have delicious food again." ”

Xuan Ye nodded and did so.

It was only when there was really nothing in the basket that the two of them went back along the way they came, but before they could open the door of the house, they heard the voice of the neighbor's Aunt Chen.

"Tiantian, I'm going to the mountains to collect firewood."

"Hmm!"

Xu Tiantian nodded, opened the door, and looked back, but did not see the children of Aunt Chen's family.

Aunt Chen San'er was startled when she looked at the wild mushrooms poured out of Xu Tiantian's basket, and hurriedly took her hand, "Ah, why did you pick so many wild mushrooms back?" This thing is not edible, last time there was a family in the east of the village who ate this thing, saying that it was poisoned, and spent a lot of silver to invite Lang Zhong to see it. ”

Xu Tiantian frowned and was a little surprised, don't the people in these villages know what kind of mushrooms can be eaten and what kind of mushrooms can't be eaten?

"Third aunt, don't worry, I've already looked at it carefully, these mushrooms are not poisonous."

Aunt Chen only thought that Xu Tiantian was reluctant to throw these things, saying that it was still the middle of summer, and every family relied on going to the mountains to get some wild vegetables, and there were men in the family, but it was good luck to be able to catch one or two palm-sized fish every day, and now it is hard to have such a little food, naturally no one wants to waste it, but this thing is poisonous after all.

"Sweet, this ......"

"Third aunt, don't worry, my father didn't teach me less about these things when he was alive, which mushrooms are poisonous and which mushrooms are not poisonous tiles can be distinguished. You see, this mushroom only has this one color, and it has some earthy fragrance, which means that it can be used, and the more colorful the mushroom, the more toxic it is. ”

Aunt Chen, I want to say something, Xu Tiantian knew that she was kind and reminded and was not annoyed, she originally wanted to give some mushrooms to Aunt Chen San'er, but seeing that her appearance was probably for her, she didn't dare to eat it, so she had to give up.

Aunt Chen San nodded suspiciously, Xu Tiantian's father was an extremely famous person in the village when he was alive, and he was able to identify all kinds of herbs and wild vegetables that were poisonous and not poisonous, he only needed to look at it and smell it to know it.

"It's good that I can tell the difference, it's not too early, I still have to go back to cooking, you two can rest first."

After Aunt Chen finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Xu Tiantian had already boiled water in the kitchen, looked at Aunt Chen's house and pondered again, "Xuanye, you will make soup for this rabbit in a while, and you can send a bowl to Auntie's dog." ”

After thinking about it, she didn't know what the child was going to eat, but last night she heard the child's cry, compared to the little stone, the child was not a few years older in total, and now it was the time to grow up, and she couldn't lack nutrition.

Xuan Ye nodded, "Okay." ”

After closing the door of the house, Xiao Shi saw Xu Tiantian and Xuan Ye working in the kitchen again, and he obediently took a small bench and sat down on the side. Even if he didn't know anything about cooking, he was happy to sit here.

Although he was really hungry, looking at these living rabbits, Xu Tiantian really couldn't do it, and Xuan Ye dealt with those rabbits cleanly.

Looking at the cleaned fur, Xu Tiantian cushioned, "This rabbit's fur is very warm, these six rabbit furs are sewn together, and they can also make a layer of fluff in the quilt, and it is the most suitable to cover the body warmly in winter." ”

"Well, you're afraid of the cold, so you sew these six rabbit skins into your quilt."

Xu Tiantian looked at the little stone sitting on the side obediently, "Such a good thing naturally has to be given to the little stone first." ”

The two of them worked together, and in a short time the rabbit was stewed, sprinkled with some salt, and put the dug wild vegetable roots into the pot.

After a short while, the hot rabbit soup came out of the pot.

Xuan Ye took the firewood in his hand and was about to put it in the stove, Xu Tiantian took a spoon, filled a bowl of soup, put it aside, and stopped him,

"Xuanye, the fire is enough, don't burn it anymore, let's eat first."

The two of them held the hot soup in their hands, and the hard work of half a day finally disappeared.

After drinking the soup, Xuan Ye consciously picked up the bowl of soup, although the two families had already said the previous words yesterday, but he was still a little awkward in his heart.

"Auntie, this is a rabbit soup made by Tian Tian, she was thinking about it, and said let me send a bowl over."

Looking at the few pieces of meat in the soup, Aunt Chen'er's eyes moistened, since there was a famine in this village, it has been a long time since there has been a meat, and this is the first time in the world.

"Okay, thank you, thank you, Xuanye! Come out. ”

Aunt Chen San wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, thanked her again and again, and then immediately called the child into the house.

Since last night, the child has been crying and saying that he is hungry, but there is really nothing to eat for him at home, so he drank two bowls of hot water and took a pillow under his waist, which made him sleep peacefully.

Seeing Aunt Chen's appearance, Xuan Ye scratched the back of his head, and inadvertently blushed, but Aunt Chen San'er was only grateful, and it was not as good as finding out that there was anything wrong.

"Xuanye, you see you're tired all day, why don't you come in and take a rest?"

Xuan Ye shook his head and handed the bowl to Aunt Chen'er, "No, Auntie let you drink this soup while it's hot." If it's cold, it shouldn't taste good. ”

Aunt Chen San nodded and did not force her to stay.

Xuan Ye went back to the house, although it was still summer, but he had to quickly burn some firewood, and the remaining black charcoal from the firewood would be used for heating in the winter.

"Sister, sister—"

Xu Tiantian was resting, and Xuan Ye was burning the firewood in the stove, when he suddenly heard a child shouting outside.

frowned slightly, there was some noise outside, and I don't know who was at noon, but it was going to disturb people's dreams, "Xuanye, is there someone outside?" ”

Xuan Ye opened the door and looked at Xu Zehan and the dog in front of the door, "Well, there is a child!" ”

The dog had a small pigtail on his head, and his eyes widened as he looked at the man in front of him who he didn't know.

"Brother Xuan, this is Brother Gouzi. I told him that my sister was amazing, and that she had caught a few rabbits yesterday and that he wanted to come and have a look. Putting together his underwear, Xu Tiantian came out of the back room, "Who?" ”

Xiao Shi ran over happily when he saw Xu Tiantian, "Sister, I'll take my dog brother to take a look at our rabbits." ”

Xu Tiantian nodded, fortunately, she only killed one rabbit yesterday, and she was ready to raise the rest, and when she fattened up, she might be able to have another litter of rabbits.

"Look at your sweaty running on a hot day, be careful of heat stroke again." Xu Tiantian took a fan and gently fanned the wind beside the small stone, and the dog looked at Xu Tiantian with a pair of eyes, he was two years older than the small stone, but he was about the same height as the small stone. The appearance of flesh and bones is craggy, and it seems that a pair of eyes are getting bigger and bigger.

Xu Zehan glanced at the dog and stood on tiptoe slightly, "Sister, there is rabbit soup in the pot, I'm a little hungry." ”

Xu Tiantian knew what the little guy was thinking at a glance, lifted the lid of the pot, put two bowls of rabbit soup in front of Shen Yuxuan, stretched out a finger and gently tapped the nose of the little stone,

"You are such a small person, but you know a lot, well, it has taken so much physical strength for a long time, and I am tired when I think about it, so I will eat something to replenish first."

The dog stared at the bowl of rabbit soup, his eyes were already bulging, and then he swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Sister, I don't like to eat meat, this meat is still kept by my sister, Xiaoshi is still growing and should eat some good ones." ”

Although the dog is only nine years old, his mother tells him every day that this year's harvest is so small, and he naturally knows how hard this meat is.

Xu Tiantian was stunned for a moment, but she still didn't expect that a nine-year-old child would actually say this,

"Well, sister, there are some here that you don't have to worry about, just eat it."

Gently patted the boy's head, she had no parents and no siblings in modern times, and had never experienced sibling care. So she was very protective of Xiaoshi, but she never thought that this dog would be so sensible.

The dog picked up the bowl of rabbit soup, and although he had eaten some batter when he came, he had already digested it all the way away.

The two children looked at each other naturally, holding a bowl and drinking the rabbit soup. Xu Tian smiled sweetly, "Next time, if you feel hungry, come to my sister's place, and my sister will want to make you something delicious." ”

The dog looked at Xu Tiantian's eyes full of admiration, and Xiao Shi puffed up his chest proudly, "Brother Dog, I'll just say that my sister is very powerful." ”

The dog nodded heavily, "Uh-huh! ”

Xu Tiantian is used to sleeping for a while at noon every day, otherwise she will be unenergetic all afternoon. Lying on the kang, the weather is a little hot, but I can't sleep anyway. Sure enough, when the book is used, she hates it less, and she will learn one more craft if she knows it, so that she doesn't even know where to start when she needs air conditioning now.
