Chapter 5: Up the Mountain
It's a brand new day again, early in the morning, quiet and well-dressed. Put the rice, braised pork, red stewed pork, and cold cabbage and shredded potatoes that I cooked yesterday in the space. Put the baskets, knives, and farm tools in the space at home. There are also homemade drugs, the recipe taught by grandpa, and the effect is good! In the past, the original owner often went into the mountains with his grandfather to pick herbs, and he also learned to hunt and dig traps with hunters!
The mountains behind the house are generally small animals, and I don't go into the mountains for the time being, and I don't dare to go to the mountains for my own safety! The valley of the legend is not in the mountains, but the entrance is not easy to find.
Tranquility's home is at the corner of the mountain, and no one else can see it up the mountain. Walking on the mountain path, Tranquility didn't dare to go too fast, mainly to be stable, I saw a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms on the road, picked a lot while walking, and threw them directly into the space. Having space is convenient, and it relieves a lot of burden.
I remember that the direction of the valley in the manual was on a stream, and the entrance was blocked by two ancient trees. The valley is accessible through a creek. There is also an entrance to a cave nearby that can also be entered.
Look for it yourself along the stream, you can't do it! Tranquility rests while walking, digging some wild vegetables from time to time, very slowly, and occasionally you can see pheasants and rabbits. There was time to dig a few traps, and suddenly more than a dozen wild eggs were found in the grass! Good luck, look for it again, a pheasant jumped out nearby, Tranquility hurriedly buckled it with a bamboo basket, and after some beating, luck was good, and Tranquility actually buckled.
Tranquility smiled, "Haha... Luck is coming, and I can't stop it. There's chicken to eat! "Tie it with a rope and put it in a frame and continue to set off, and by noon I have picked up almost 20 wild eggs. Tranquility doesn't have to worry about Aunt Sun's eggs, now that there are eggs to eat, take a break by the stream!
Take out the homemade small fishing net, the original owner lives by the sea, fishing and fishing is simply innate, there are many more fish on the mountain than under the mountain, the mountain is basically swept away by the villagers, the road on the mountain is small, the mountain pass is in the backyard of the quiet house, you can't find it if you don't look carefully, plus the end of the mountain road is blocked by the cliff, it is a dead end, even if you know the road people basically will not go up the mountain from this side.
There are still a lot of fish in the river, and Ning Jing caught three crucian carp and two carp, the largest of which is more than two catties. After Tranquility cleaned up the fish, grilled two one-pound crucian carp, brushed with oil, sprinkled with salt and chili cumin, bursts of fragrance came to the nose, and the grilled fish seemed to beckon to Tranquility again. Take out the food, this lunch is full of oil! Greatly satisfied the tranquility of a foodie's heart!
Tranquility, who had eaten enough, began to fall sleepy, and squinted for a while under the big tree. What's next for you to go home? Or do you want to keep going? Tranquility thought about it, I'm afraid that I won't be able to go home after dark, so let's go down the mountain. It's all about safety!
What's more, Tranquility went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and fish, and it took a lot of time, so Tranquility decided to come back tomorrow! Seeing that there was enough time, I caught several big fish and prepared them in the space. Dig up some edible mushrooms. I saw that some fresh bamboo shoots were picked, and the bamboo shoots were the most tender at this time! After digging a few traps by the stream to see if there were any fish that slipped through the net tomorrow, Tranquility lowered the fishing nets she had bought in the town into the river. I thought I could see how much I could live in tomorrow.
"Industrious little bees, lalala." Tranquility hummed an out-of-tune tune in her mouth, and went home happily!
After a busy day in the mountains, Tranquility felt a little tired when she was about to get home, and when she came to the door, she saw Chen Cuifang standing at the door.
"Tranquility, you have gone up the mountain, I have come to see you, there is no one at home, I am a little worried about you, I will wait for you here" Chen Cuifang held a basket in her hand and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Tranquility.
"I went to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables, didn't go far, and went into the house to sit on Cuifang." Saying that, Tranquility opened the courtyard door, and pulled Cuifang into the house with a smile on her face.
"Are you tired of going to work? I'll dig up some wild vegetables in the mountains and bring some back later. ”
"I'm not tired, I'm working every year, I'm used to it. You don't have to give it to me, my sister-in-law and I are always digging wild vegetables when we are not busy, and we have them at home, I picked some vegetables for you, and you can go to the house to get whatever you lack at home. As she spoke, she looked at Tranquility with her big eyes.
Tranquility's old face was red when she looked at her, "Why are you looking at me like this, is there anything on my face?" ”
"Tranquility, how do you take care of it, how can your skin be white and tender, and you can pinch out the water? It's not like a rural one at all, you see my face is thick and dark! "Saying that, put a crying face on me, and exaggerated pull your own face.
Tranquility was amused by her and trembled, "How can there be maintenance, I just went back to town and bought a box of snow hair cream, I'll take it back for you and wipe it, right?" "Actually, Tranquility knows that the main reason is the role of space, but Tranquility can't be said. Cuifang's skin is not exaggerated as she said, but it is indeed darker, and it is difficult not to be dark every day.
"I don't need you, I'll ask my brother to bring me a box back in the next episode. Your sister-in-law has a partner, you know? ”
Tranquility looked at Cuifang curiously, "I don't know, I haven't been out much recently" There is a distance from the old mansion here, there are few people, and Tranquility is not yet working, so the news is very backward!
"Your sister-in-law, now it's beautiful, and you're in love with Lin Zhiqing, who knows the youth."
Ning Jing carefully recalled Lin Zhiqing's information, and heard that his home was in the capital, and he was quite handsome, and he was among the top in the Zhiqing count.
"How could he take a fancy to my sister-in-law? I heard that you didn't have a relationship with a female intellectual? "Tranquility was very surprised, Tranquility's sister-in-law looks the worst-looking in the family, but the family is not ugly if the genes are strong and the long ones are not ugly, if the thin point is considered a beautiful woman, but unfortunately the family is very spoiled, Xu Jiacong took home a lot of the salary into the sister-in-law's pocket, what delicious food can also be eaten first, than the sister-in-law's two nephews are popular, this era of lack of clothes and less food She is not lacking at all, and she also raised a body of meat.
"That female intellectuals found a way back to the city, and the two of them are also yellow, your sister-in-law chases people every day, and I heard that she also helps him spend money to find a way, and the two of them are fine!" Cuifang said with some disdain, "If you want me to say, this Lin Zhiqing is also unreliable, what can he do by relying on women!" ”
I agree with this point of tranquility, but I still feel a little sorry for Xu Jiacong's hard-earned money, so I just lost it.
"These educated youths, there are few reliable ones, you have to keep your eyes open, pick a good one, you can tell me, is there a picture?" Tranquility smiled and joked about Cuifang!
Cuifang blushed at Tranquility's words, "No one pays attention to you, I'm leaving!" Hmph"
Sending Cuifang away, Tranquility tidied up all the things on the mountain today. The chicken was cleaned up and stewed, some mushrooms and bamboo shoots were put in it, and the remaining mushrooms and bamboo shoots were picked out and spread on the ground to dry. Put the wild vegetables in the space to keep them fresh, and take them out to eat if you want to eat them. Tomorrow, I will pick some fresh mushrooms and bamboo shoots and put them in the space, they are still fresh and delicious!
Then mix a shredded potato and add chili oil, vinegar and other seasonings. Wrapped a large pot of wild vegetables, mushrooms, and meat buns and steamed them.
For dinner, eating steamed buns, drinking chicken soup, and eating shredded potatoes. This original farmhouse meal is so delicious!
