Chapter 32 Good luck digging bamboo shoots and picking chickens

Today's fried noodles were not sold out, and there were more than ten bowls left, and a few bowls were given to the village chief's house, and there were still a lot left.

The Hua family is still poor, and the money earned is enough to pay off the debt, so naturally this noodle can't be wasted, so today I can only use the remaining fried sauce to fry it and eat it.

The rest of the noodles will be eaten in the evening.

The meat sauce was heated quickly, and then an egg soup was beaten, Hua Manxi mixed a few bowls of noodles and brought them out, Hua Xiaosong was holding the soup in the back, and when they arrived in the hall, the uncle and the aunt had already reconciled, and the two of them were repairing the farm tools in harmony.

"It's time to eat, auntie, uncle." Hua Manxi put his noodles on the table and beckoned.

"It's better to be Manxi, fortunately you were not afraid of trouble and raised Manxi, a daughter, more intimate than two sons." Uncle Hua stopped what he was doing and said happily.

"Yes, Manxi is getting bigger, and I'm getting more and more capable." The eldest aunt smiled, and her eyes were full of love when she looked at Hua Manxi.

"This noodle is so delicious, it didn't sell out." Hua Xiaosong sat down and ate noodles in a slush, eating his mouth full of oil, but sighed.

"Yes, there are more than a dozen bowls left today, and I made too many last night." Hua Manxi said, "Today, I have to eat noodles all day long." ”

"It's all because Uncle Li's daughter, she's a bad girl! Last time, my sister was apprenticed, but I wanted to compare what kind of competition, my sister obviously won, and insisted that my sister was not subject to the rules, so that my sister couldn't go to help cook, this time I saw that we sold noodles and earned silver, and came to sell what buns to rob our business. Hua Xiaosong said angrily.

"Komatsu, you can't say that, the business is there, there is no robbery, and the business of the construction site is not a long-term job, this construction site is just a renovation, and it won't take long." Hua Manxi frowned.

"I won't do it for long, anyway, the Ding family's silver is enough, I heard that Aunt Ding went back to her parents' house, and she will come back in two days, and when she comes back, I will return the silver." Uncle Hua pondered for a moment, and then said, "Your eldest aunt is right, you still have to say that a family business is serious, and if you drag it out, you will become an old girl." ”

Hua Manxi: "......" can she always mention marriage, she is only fifteen years old! Not yet an adult!

"Hehe, this can't be done, I still want to make some money by trading, I said that I want Komatsu to go to school, but I can't break my promise." Hua Manxi prevaricated, "Don't worry, I naturally have a way." ”

When the trolley on Cousin Yang's side was ready, she rented the Liangting next door to the official road from the village chief, and sold some food every day, even if she couldn't earn much silver a day, it was better than waiting at home to get married.

The matter of silver has to be accumulated into a lot, and after saving enough silver, she has to go to the town to have a look, anyway, earning money must always be the first priority.

In order to avoid the nagging of the uncle and the aunt, Hua Manxi sped up the speed of eating noodles, drank a bowl of soup hastily, and dragged Hua Xiaosong and said: "Xiaosong, hurry, take advantage of the early weather, I will go up the mountain with you to dig bamboo shoots." ”

These days, I am either eating meat noodles or soup noodles, I am really tired of eating, tonight, Hua Manxi plans to make a vegetarian dish to cook noodles.

There are not many vegetarian vegetables in the yard, but now is the time for the bamboo shoots on the mountain to sprout, and it is just the right time to go up the mountain to dig some bamboo shoots to satisfy your cravings.

"You can't eat too much bamboo shoots." The eldest aunt frowned.

Bamboo shoots are a good thing, but because bamboo shoots contain a lot of oxalate, if patients with urinary system and stones eat more bamboo shoots, oxalate is easy to form insoluble calcium oxalate with food calcium, and aggravate the condition, and bamboo shoots are cold food, containing more crude fiber, if the stomach is not good, it is best to eat less, and those who are allergic to bamboo shoots are not suitable to eat.

But bamboo shoots are also a good thing, it is not only appetizing, but also rich in vitamins, as well as clearing heat and phlegm, regulating qi and neutralizing the effect. Of course, the most important thing is that bamboo shoots are delicious!

"I know, I haven't eaten it for a long time, so I'm hungry, and I definitely don't eat much." Hua Manxi said with a smile, pulling Hua Xiaosong and getting up, "Xiaosong hurry up, go early and come back early." ”

The two siblings took firewood knives, hoes, baskets and other tools, and went to the bamboo forest on the mountain.

This peach blossom village is full of bamboo, it is too easy to find bamboo shoots, and if this bamboo shoot does not know how to cook, it will not only cost oil when fried, but also have an astringent taste, few villagers will come to dig bamboo shoots to eat, not at all like in the previous life, the mountains are full of people digging bamboo shoots, and they can't grab it.

"Wow, that's a lot of bamboo shoots." Hua Manxi looked at the lovely green on the ground, as if he had seen a series of delicacies.

"Komatsu, this, make bamboo shoots to stir-fry meat, cut thin slices of meat, thin slices of bamboo shoots, put some chili peppers and stir-fry, it's not too delicious."

"Komatsu, that, that one makes fresh bamboo shoots in chicken soup, kills a chicken, stews out the chicken soup, fishes out the chicken when it is bubbling with oil, puts the tender bamboo shoots down, and each piece of bamboo shoots is stained with chicken soup, so tender that you can bite out the juice."

"This one, this one is a little old, let's go home and soak it up, make it into sour bamboo shoots, open it a few days later, it is a sour and spicy appetizer, and the fried meat with sour bamboo shoots is also very delicious. Dig fast, let's dig quickly. ”

A light breeze blew through the bamboo forest, and the bamboo in the bamboo forest made a rustling sound, which naturally overshadowed the sound of someone silently swallowing saliva on a big tree above the heads of the two sisters and brothers.

This damn little village girl, digging bamboo shoots, digging bamboo shoots, and calling out the gluttonous worms in his stomach, is really hateful!

A certain son who was lying on the tree basking in the sun held a dog's tail grass in his mouth, and snorted coldly with some unpleasantness.

After eating unclean buns today, he drank several bowls of medicine, which was enough to replenish his vitality, but Uncle Zhao strictly ordered him to eat white porridge for three days in a row before he could touch the oil.

He's greedy.

"Okay, sister." Hua Xiaosong has been working in the field with his aunt since he was a child, although he is young, he is really a good hand at work, and the hoe is skillful and free, and he will dig out a bamboo shoot after a while.

Hua Xiaosong continued to dig bamboo shoots, Hua Manxi was not idle, cut off the useless parts of the bamboo shoots dug out by Hua Xiaosong with a firewood knife, peeled off the hard shell outside, and left only the tender part inside.

After a while, the two siblings made half a basket of bamboo shoots.

"Komatsu, it's almost, it's getting dark, let's go back." Hua Manxi looked at the bamboo shoots in the basket with satisfaction and spoke.

"Shhhhh Hua Xiaosong suddenly lowered his voice and made a shushing gesture at Hua Manxi.

??? In the barren mountains and forests, Hua Manxi suddenly held his breath and condensed, and his nerves tensed.

No, you won't encounter bandits again, will you?

"It's the pheasant crow! Sister, it's the pheasant laying eggs! Hua Xiaosong said excitedly in a low voice, "Let's go and see it quietly, and take advantage of it to lay eggs!" ”

"Great, maybe there will be fresh bamboo shoots and chicken soup tonight." Hua Manxi was also excited, and at once poured all the bamboo shoots in the basket to the ground, and handed the empty basket to Hua Xiaosong.

Hua Xiaosong took the empty basket and tiptoed to the place where the pheasant crowed.

The two of them bent on their waists, and from a distance they saw a pheasant hiding in the grass not far away, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly, and secretly approached it.

Xu Jinfei, who was sitting on the tree, looked at the cautious appearance of the two sisters and brothers, and couldn't help but smile in his eyes, and almost laughed out loud.

Just the two of them are stupid, and they still want to stew chicken soup with fresh bamboo shoots? When pheasants are stupid?

Sure enough, Hua Xiaosong raised the basket, and the pheasant found it smartly, and when he turned his head, his two eyes glared at Hua Xiaosong fiercely, which surprised Hua Xiaosong.

"Hurry." Hua Manxi was stunned when she saw Hua Xiaosong at the critical moment, and she was so anxious that she screamed.

said that it was too late, Hua Xiaosong reacted, and the pheasant had already jumped up, not running away, but pounced towards him.

"Komatsu, be careful!" Hua Manxi didn't expect that the pheasant would not run away, but attacked Hua Xiaosong, which frightened a spirit, and picked up a handful of dead bamboo branches and swept over.

Hua Xiaosong was frightened, if it weren't for Hua Manxi's quick reaction and sweeping over with a bamboo branch, the pheasant would have pecked him.

If you peck in the eye, it's bad.

The pheasant was swept away by Hua Manxi, but he didn't leave, and he fluttered like crazy, and wanted to chase Hua Manxi, Hua Manxi kept sweeping it with a bamboo branch, and Hua Xiaosong also took a handful of bamboo branches when he saw this.

The two sisters and brothers were in a hurry, and no one saw that the pheasant was suddenly hit in the head by something, and fell to the ground in a daze.

Hua Manxi: "......." thought it was a king, but he didn't think it was a bronze.

Hua Xiaosong: "......." thought he was going to have a vicious battle, but he just swept it, and the chicken was actually dizzy?

"Quick, catch it, lest it jump again." Hua Manxi was the first to react, and let Hua Xiaosong step forward and grab the two chickens of the pheasant, and then held down the chicken's beak.

Hua Manxi picked up his firewood knife, chopped a rattan on the ground, tightly wrapped the pheasant's feet, and tied the chicken's wings.

"There must be chicks in the chicken coop, let's take them back and raise them." Hua Manxi said suddenly.

If there were no chickens, the pheasants would have fled when they saw them, rather than pounce on them and fight.

"Hey, there really is, sister! There are a lot of them! Hua Xiaosong ran over and exclaimed, "There are seven chicks!" So cute! ”

"Quick, pick up some hay and put it in the basket and put the chicks in." Hua Manxi also felt that it was an unexpected joy.

There are not many chickens at home, if you want to buy chickens back, it is quite expensive, this time digging bamboo shoots, you can actually pick up chickens!

Hua Xiaosong and Hua Manxi couldn't hide the smile on their faces, picked up hay, put a few chicks that were obviously not born long ago, and put them on their backs.

Hua Manxi returned to the place where he dug bamboo shoots, cut a few leaves, wrapped the bamboo shoots in two, wrapped them in wild vines, cut another bamboo, picked them up on both sides, and carried them home.

After they left, Xu Jinfei slowly flew down from the tree and landed where they were digging bamboo shoots.
