When Shan Cuihua returned home with her head up, the people who went down to the ground also returned, and Mai Xiaohuan only glanced at her mother and knew that this was a triumphant return.

Mai Xiaofang dropped the shovel and ran over to ask questions, everyone in the uncle's family inquired about it, the two of them talked enough, and after others understood the reason for the matter, Mai Xiaofang reached out and patted her head vigorously, and there were still vegetables in the pot! Now it has to be confused.

I'm afraid that there will be no food to eat tonight, not only Shan Cuihua and Mai Xiaofang ran to the stove, but the three of them also followed, in case there is a fire, you still have to count on the man to go into battle.

On the table next to the stove are three plates, one with fried leeks with eggs, one with stir-fried cabbage, one with fish sauce, and wild vegetable soup is tumbling in the pot. The dishes on the plate basically maintained their original color, and the smell was quite fragrant, Mai Yonghai swallowed his saliva and turned around to clean up the table, he really wanted to taste the craftsmanship of his little sister.

Mai Xiaohuan is also looking forward to being recognized by everyone, in that case, he can be regarded as having something to do, Mai Yonghai picked up a small fish and blew it twice and put it in his mouth, the fish meat is soft and rotten, and the bones can be eaten, coupled with the fresh fragrance of the sauce, such a dish is the most delicious.

Seeing Mai Yonghai eating without stopping, the rest of the people picked up chopsticks in hindsight, a pot of soup, and the three dishes came to the bottom after a while, and the last bite of soup was sent into his mouth by Mai Yonghai first, and then burped and said that he wanted to go out to eat.

"If we come to our family in the future, we don't have to worry about cooking without a cook, Xiao Huan's craftsmanship is no worse than that of my aunt, but then again, who did you learn this craft from, if I eat this meal with my eyes closed, I will think that my aunt is back!" Mai Xiaofang drew a circle on her stomach with her right hand, and walked towards the stove with a bowl with her left hand, the big fish and meat didn't eat herself, and a few meaty dishes made her unable to bend down, who would believe it!

Is there a skill in cooking? Mai Xiaohuan thought for a while and explained very casually: "I watch my mother and second sister cook every day, the steps are almost the same, I just want to try to do it, but I didn't expect everyone to be very satisfied, then I can help my mother and second sister cook in the future, right?" ”

The dishes made by this child are very delicious, Shan Cuihua thought about it and made a decision, in the future, she will still cook by herself in the morning, and let the two children come together at noon and evening, Xiao Fang is responsible for cutting vegetables, and Xiao Huan is responsible for frying.

The next day, the Wu family really settled, Mai Wang packed up the bow and arrows, and was discovered by the sharp-eyed Mai Xiaohuan, she moved a small stool to sit next to watch her father wipe the bowstring and repair the wooden arrows with a firewood knife.

One of the two of them was concentrating on doing things, the other was watching with taste, and neither of them spoke, and after half an hour, Mai Wang put away the neat and neat repairs, and the sharp, straight wooden arrows met Mai Xiaohuan's bright eyes sideways.

"You want to go." McWan asked, holding up the bow and arrow in his hand.

Mai Xiaohuan nodded honestly, she wanted to go up the mountain so much, picking wolfberries, looking for seasonings, in case there was an unexpected harvest, digging up a ginseng like some heroines who traveled through novels, wow! That's developed.

"Tomorrow."

Dad said that he would take himself up the mountain tomorrow, right? Seeing his father nodding, Mai Xiaohuan laughed out loud, Mai Wang put the bow and arrow back and rubbed the little girl's head, and also curled the corners of his mouth.

Since you want to go up the mountain, you have to prepare some dry food, and the mother got together to discuss what to bring, and finally decided to send some noodles at night, mixed with some bean noodles and bring them with pancakes tomorrow morning.

In the early morning of spring, the breeze is cool, and the morning mist turns into a thin layer of moisture, which is contaminated on the eaves and leaves...... The stove was also covered with a layer of water droplets. Shan Cuihua was the earliest, she had just brought out the noodles that had been made, Mai Xiaofang rubbed her eyes and walked over: "You kid, how many times have you said it, just get up and cook in the morning, you are the time to grow your body, you should sleep more." ”

I have to be able to fall asleep myself! I was asked last night for most of the night, and I have been woken up three times this morning, how can I sleep!

Mai Xiaohuan smiled apologetically at the second sister, blaming herself for being too excited, and ignoring other problems with her happiness.

"Second sister, go back to sleep! I'll just help my mother light the fire. Mai Xiaohuan pushed the second sister into the house, wanting to make up for it. Mai Xiaofang was tossed and lost her sleepiness, she saw that Shan Cuihua was already kneading the dough, so she hurriedly brushed the pot and lit a fire.

Mai Xiaohuan observed for a while and proposed: "Mother, let's add an egg to this noodle, and put some chopped green onions and salt, and we don't even need to bring vegetables at noon." ”

This idea seems to be good, Shan Cuihua took two eggs, broke them and kneaded them into the noodles, cut some chives, grabbed a pinch of salt and crushed them, and spread them evenly on the noodles.

In the morning, there was still dry food and gruel and pickles, and there were some other things left, and a pot of cakes bottomed out at the earliest. If it weren't for the part that was set aside in advance to take up the mountain, Shan Cuihua estimated that even if these men couldn't finish eating, there wouldn't be much left.

Mai Yonghai was full of food and drink, and he didn't forget to joke: "Let Xiao Huan cook, I'm afraid our family will have to spend food in the future." ”

Don't eat if you have the ability! Shan Cuihua knocked on her youngest son's chopsticks, and while Mai Xiaofang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, she asked her sister to go back to change her clothes, and did not forget to remind her that her trouser legs were firmly tied and a bamboo basket was on her back.

Mai Xiaohuan followed behind the three men, and at first she could barely catch up, but before she could get out of the village, she was already panting and sweating on her face.

Mai Yonghai squatted down and let his sister lie on his back, and it was not until this time that the other two noticed Mai Xiaohuan's strange appearance. Mai Yonghai rushed to pick up his sister in front of his father.

"I'm sorry I'm dragging everyone down." As soon as I was happy, I forgot that my body was a "defective product". If you don't go home now, and don't drag yourself back, Daddy, they might be able to hunt more prey today!

Mai Wang and Mai Yonghe are both people who are not good at words, the two of them did not stop, and walked forward silently, only Mai Yonghai took her words and comforted: "Since Dad promised you to come with him, he will not dislike it, the three of us will take turns carrying you, and we will not delay or anything." ”

As they spoke, they came to the foot of the mountain, where a path winded up in the thick bushes, and after a few turns, trees as thick as an adult's arm were everywhere. The further you go in, the thicker the trees become, and Mai Xiaohuan strongly asks to go to the ground, because she saw some fungus, this dynasty doesn't know what to call the fungus, it's better for her to talk less, don't show her stuffing.

She took advantage of the fact that the other people were not paying attention to picking some fungus and put them in the basket behind her, thinking of her purpose, Mai Xiaohuan asked the second brother: "Are there wolfberries and wild dates on the mountain now?" ”

Mai Yonghe was happy after listening to his sister's words, the wolfberry has just entered the maturity period at this time, and the dates will have to wait for a while, not to mention that these two things are all over the mountain, and the common people are not rare, you can go up the mountain to order rare things.

"Xiao Huan, do you want to eat honey?" Mai Yonghai teases his sister.

Honey is a good thing, of course Mai Xiaohuan wants it, thinking of the horror of bees, she hurriedly shook her head, she must not let her brother take this risk.
