Chapter 16 Discovery of the Bamboo Rat's Nest
The bamboo forest is not a private place, it is a small Nanzhuang public thing, usually there are many people will go to the bamboo forest to try their luck, especially in the winter, when the harvest is not good, occasionally you can dig the nest of the bamboo rat in the bamboo forest, and you can have a full meal.
When Ye Qingyu and Gu Lidun arrived, there was no one in the bamboo forest, the time was still early, the sky was just dawning, most of the people were busy in the field at this time, even if it was relatively idle in winter, but at this time, the field would be tidied up, and it would be much more convenient when spring plowing in the spring of the next year.
There is only one hoe at home, the farm tools are not cheap in these years, the hoe is iron, it is very expensive, every household can have a handful, it is not bad, Gu Changyang is still someone else's family is broken, he took the food from the family to exchange it with others, it is not a good thing, but for their family, it is already very good.
The winter bamboo shoots were all hidden in the ground, and a thick layer of bamboo leaves fell on the ground, Ye Qingyu was still worried that there would be snakes or something hidden under the leaves, so he carefully removed the bamboo leaves, and made sure that there was nothing left, before he started to dig.
Her luck was not bad, and she really dug up bamboo shoots for her.
Winter bamboo shoots are not big, but the meat is delicious, and they are much more delicious than spring bamboo shoots, which are generally bitter, but winter bamboo shoots are not.
Ye Qingyu dug there for a while, and then a basket was filled.
Looking at the bamboo that was growing well, she pondered for a moment before turning around and asking Gu Lidun, "Can you cut the bamboo here and take it home?" ”
"Mother, do you want to chop bamboo?" Gu Lidun had just squatted on the ground digging winter bamboo shoots by himself, and only then did he look up at her when he heard Ye Qingyu's words.
Ye Qingyu nodded, she has this thought, there is a shortage of everything at home, it just so happened that when she was in school, she learned bamboo weaving from an old craftsman for a period of time in order to earn living expenses, and all kinds of small baskets are not bad, there are ready-made bamboos, if you can use it, it is not bad.
"The things here are all grown by themselves, no one takes care of them to plant, just cut them if you want to, I haven't heard that you are not allowed to cut them, and in the past, grandparents would also cut some and go home as firewood." Gu Lidun thought about it before answering Ye Qingyu's question.
There is no knife in his hand, and it is still a little troublesome to cut a bamboo, Ye Qingyu thought about turning around and asking Sister-in-law Liu next door to see if she could borrow a knife or something, and then turned around and knitted a basket or something, and gave her a few as a thank you.
The mother and son dug up the winter bamboo shoots for a while, and the harvest was not bad, Ye Qingyu looked at the time when it was almost time, and was afraid that Gu Lidun would sweat for a while and go back to catch a cold and get sick, and was about to leave, when she heard Gu Lidun shouting to her with some excitement, "Mother, mother, hurry, come quickly!" ”
Ye Qingyu was puzzled in his heart, and walked over following the voice, "What?" ”
"Mother, the hole, yes, is it a bamboo rat's nest?" Gu Lidun pointed to a dark hole in front of him and asked with some excitement.
He seemed to see a nest of fat bamboo rats inside, enough for their mother and son to eat meat for several days.
Ye Qingyu's eyes also lit up, but he couldn't be sure whether it was a snake or a bamboo rat, so he asked Gu Lidun to go to the side first, and she used a hoe to dig up some holes first.
"Mother, will you run away if you dig up a bamboo rat?" Gu Lidun stood aside, looked at it with blank eyes, and asked another question that he was most concerned about.
Ye Qingyu just raised the hoe, and when he heard his words, he paused, and then silently put down the hoe, "Well, they will run, wait for their mother to give them a net, so that they have nowhere to escape." ”
