Chapter 83: Distress on the Mountain

Mu Xiu started from the innermost layer, smeared the adjusted chili paste on the cabbage, wiped it inside and out, and then put the cabbage into the jar, and finished a dozen cabbages in turn, the jar was full, covered with a lid, and waited for five days, and the spicy cabbage was ready.

The rest of the radishes, for her, are also trivial, after half a day, except for the mushroom sauce and sauce eight treasures did not be made, the rest were all put into the jar and sealed.

These two pickles require more ingredients, although Muxiu said that there are shiitake mushrooms in the space, but they are all dried, soaked out, and then made into shiitake mushroom sauce, there is never fresh shiitake mushrooms made to taste good.

Mu Xiu thought that she saw some oyster mushrooms on the mountain a few days ago, she didn't go to the mountain at that time, only circled around the periphery of the mountain, she planned to go to the mountain to look for it, maybe she could get something.

But it was time to make lunch at this time, so Mu Xiu simply used the pork rib soup in the space to cook a cabbage and radish soup, baked more than a dozen cakes, and cut some sour bamboo shoots and shredded.

After these were done, Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiaocao also came back from their busy work, looking at the neatly placed jars in the yard, Mu Xiaocao stepped forward and wanted to open it to take a look, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was stopped by Mu Xiu.

"Sister, as soon as this lid is closed, it will start to ferment, and it will always affect the fermentation when it is opened, and in the end these will be broken."

"I'm not unfamiliar with it." After Mu Xiaocao listened to Mu Xiu's words, she said something dissatisfied and walked towards the kitchen.

Mu Xiu is also a last resort now, because he put so many seasonings in it, if he opens it now, first of all, the smell of apples and pears can't be covered, and after a few days of fermentation, these flavors are mixed together, so that if he takes it out again, he will not be found out by Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiaocao.

As soon as Mu Xiaocao arrived at the kitchen door, she felt the fragrance, she took the soup that Zhou Shuilian gave her and took a sip, and immediately felt that her mouth was full of the sweetness of cabbage, and the radish also melted in her mouth, tender and soft.

"Xiu's cooking is delicious, the same thing, I don't know what's going on, what she makes is delicious." Zhou Shuilian also praised while eating.

"Auntie's cooking is so delicious." Li Pandi's mouth was full, and his speech was a little slurred.

"That's because you work a lot today, and you're hungry, so you think everything you eat is delicious." Mu Xiu said with a smile.

When everyone finished eating, Mu Xiu put the basket on his back, picked up the sickle, and said to Zhou Shuilian: "Mother, you guys are resting at home in the afternoon, and I'll go to the mountains to find some mushrooms." ”

"I'll come with you when your dad comes back." Zhou Shuilian put away the dishes and chopsticks and said.

"It's broad daylight, it's okay, I know the way."

"Then don't run too far, stay safe." Zhou Shuilian said uneasily.

"Got it."

Most of the wild shiitake mushrooms are parasitic on some trees and rotten wood, which is not easy to encounter, but Mu Xiu is well aware of their growth characteristics, wild mushrooms are relatively inferior plants and fungi, it will not bloom, can not produce seeds, can only produce spores to reproduce, and the spores will germinate into new fungi wherever they are scattered.

Wild fungi do not have chlorophyll and do not produce nutrients on their own, but can only use their mycelium to reach into the soil or rotten wood to absorb nutrients from the county town to sustain life, so they often grow in warm, humid and organic places.

Although it is already the end of November and the weather is already a little cold, the mushrooms at this time taste the most fragrant.

Mu Xiu walked along the mountain path, all the way to the depths, stopping and walking, the air on the mountain was full of unique freshness, from time to time there were a few bird calls, accompanied by the "rustle" sound of her walking and stepping on the fallen leaves, there was no other sound.

When Mu Xiu encounters a dead tree trunk or a rotting tree that has fallen to the ground in the woods, he will come forward to take a closer look.

"Mu Xiu, stand there and don't move, don't move!" Suddenly, a terrifying voice behind Mu Xiu sounded quietly, and he was still trembling slightly.

Mu Xiu was taken aback when he heard the voice, who was the person behind him? How do you know her name? Along the way, why didn't she notice someone behind her?

Although Mu Xiu's heart was full of curiosity at this time, he still suppressed his impulse with reason, since the person behind took the initiative to show up and remind her not to move, it means that he has no malicious intent.

Mu Xiu stood there obediently, obediently maintaining the posture just now.

It seemed to be a long time, until there was a sound of falling to the ground from behind, but in fact, only a minute or two had passed.

"Alright, it's okay." A voice came from behind him.

Mu Xiu relaxed, let out a long breath, and turned around, but she didn't expect that just two steps behind her, it turned out to be an old acquaintance......

I saw Chen Xuhui lying on the ground, and then in Mu Xiu's surprised sight, Chen Xuhui supported the ground with both hands, stood up, patted the dust on his body, and picked up a long thing from the ground.

Mu Xiu fixed her eyes and saw that it was a snake with white rings and black rings on its back, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Silver snake." ”

The silver snake is highly venomous, if it weren't for Chen Xuhui reminding her, according to the distance just now, Mu Xiu would definitely not be able to hide, in the wilderness, and the current medical conditions, she would probably be hanging here, thinking of this, Mu Xiu couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

Chen Xuhui just used a machete to accurately cut the seven inches of the silver snake, a fatal move, at this moment he opened the skin, grabbed it and tore it down, and a snake skin came down.

Chen Xuhui squeezed out the snake gall again, swallowed it in one gulp, and then asked, "Why are you here alone?" ”

"I want to see, can I find some wild shiitake mushrooms, Brother Chen, thank you so much just now, when did you come over? I didn't hear the slightest movement. Mu Xiu swallowed his saliva, the scene just now was too bloody......

"I recently found a litter of rabbits, the cunning rabbit has three holes, I sealed the other two holes, here is the last hole, waiting, ready to catch the rabbit, and then you came over, and before I could say hello, I saw this snake." Chen Xuhui pointed to the hole not far away and said.

"Thanks to you, otherwise it would have been a bad day." Mu Xiu took a look, and it was indeed a hole made by a rabbit.

"Mu Xiu, you are really bold, you have walked so far into the mountain, you want to find wild mushrooms, I know where they are, when I catch this nest of rabbits, I will take you to pick them." Chen Xuhui squatted down to the rabbit hole, lit a handful of leaves and threw them in.

Soon, smoke began to rise out of the hole, and after a while, there was movement in the hole, Chen Xuhui quickly aimed the back basket at the entrance of the hole, and then, a rabbit began to jump out, a... Two... Puff and puff, and after a while, three rabbits got into the back basket.
