Chapter 216: Summer Harvest is Busy
In a blink of an eye, it was July, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and when there was no wind at noon, it was so hot that it was unbearable.
Xu Wenlan pestered Zhu to make a short-sleeved or sleeveless gown, but Zhu directly slapped her aside.
It was Bai Shengwu, who saw the sky dangling in front of her shirtless, looking at that one who was greedy.
Bai Shengwen is honest, except for occasionally wearing short-sleeved gowns, he always wears a robe in a regular manner, and his upright appearance is a bit like a modern elite wearing a suit, and he feels hot when he looks at it.
Xu Wenlan was kind enough to let him take it off, and he was as shirtless as Bai Shengwu, anyway, men don't pay so much attention to it these days, especially boys like them, who haven't become adults yet?
But Bai Shengwen didn't appreciate it, as soon as Xu Wenlan said it, he blushed and hid far away, as if he was afraid that she would pull his clothes.
Who has that leisure? The heat is hot to death.
But there is a good thing about it, no matter how hot it is, I don't know. I don't know if I didn't know this insect here, or if she didn't pay attention to it, anyway, the time was very quiet after the New Year, crooked on the pit, and I didn't hear it even if I knew it
There was a straw mat on the kang, which was a little cool, and I slept in a daze for half an afternoon, waiting for the sun to go down before going down.
The summer outside the gate is hot, but it is cool with only one wind, unlike the hot and muggy days in the previous life, and there is not even a trace of wind.
This season, the mother-in-law Ding or something can not be eaten, can only pick some old ones, dried and soaked in water to drink, although the bitter taste is heavy, but this is the most clear heat to go to the fire, the countryside people think that the doctor is expensive, usually the fire is mostly to drink this own fire.
As long as it rained the first night, the women of every household in the mountain would carry a small basket up the mountain the next morning.
The mushrooms on the mountain will rain as soon as they come, but they will grow overnight, although the flowers are not big, but this is the most tender, if it is too big, it will be old.
After the rain, not only on the mountain, but also everywhere under the mountain, the most common is the grass mushroom, which is born on the barren meadow, on the edge of the woodland, the taste is fresh, but it is not very fragrant to eat, and it is naturally the least valuable.
Then there is the potato mushroom, the meat is yellow or a little red, this mushroom is meaty, but it tastes a little earthy, maybe it is because of this that it is called potato mushroom, and it is sticky to the common potatoes in the Northeast now.
Another one is the yellow willow mushroom, which is probably called the yellow willow mushroom because it is often on the edge of the willow tree, and it is yellow, which tastes better than the first two.
But when it comes to mushrooms, the good ones can only be picked in the mountains.
In addition to the most common ones mentioned before, there are also pine mushrooms, in fact, this is a kind of porcini mushroom, but it is different from white porcini mushrooms, this one is crimson yellow, the meat is thick, and it has a chewy head in the mouth.
But to say that the best to eat that has to be hazelnut mushrooms, this is generally born under the hazelnut tree, a small flower, a small cluster, the best is tender mushrooms, not only eat the tender ones now, more or pick them back to dry, and when the New Year is approaching, this is the best dry goods.
The famous chicken stew with mushrooms outside the Guanwai is stewed with this dried hazel mushroom, and eating it is called a fragrant.
As for the bracken at this time, no one picked it. Although it is growing luxuriantly, it is already old, and this wild vegetable has to be picked from May to early June to be tender, and now, unless you see a tender mushroom when you are picking it, you can cut a handful, or you see a large cluster, and no one picks it.
Bracken can't be eaten fresh, and it has to be salted and pickled thoroughly before it can be eaten, otherwise it will be poisoned.
Zhu can't say why, just that the older generation eats like this anyway.
Xu Wenlan knows that in modern times, there is a saying that bracken causes cancer, and if it is salted in this way, the carcinogens will go to eight or nine times out of ten, and it is the same as toon having to be scalded with boiling water before it can be eaten.
At the beginning of June, the Bai family picked a lot of bracken and pickled a large vat.
Bai Huier also smiled and said, "You can eat it open this year, unlike previous years, even if you pickle a lot, you can only eat a little bit."
This year, there are no two main laborers in the old house, and only Wang and Fang's concubines go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms, plus white grass.
At first, the White Lotus followed up the mountain, but it was only a day of misery, and the next day there was no one to see.
Fang's person is lazy and will never work, but he is diligent when he goes up the mountain, although there are mosquitoes in the mountain, but it is cool!
Fan the puff fan to chase away the mosquitoes, and then put on a gauze hat, so that she can sleep on the stone when others work.
In this way, only the Wang family brought Bai Cao'er, and the two mothers didn't like to make a sound, often two people walked in front, and none of them knew that there were people in front of them.
Once Xu Wenlan went into a hazelnut forest, and thought about grabbing a good place, but was startled by the silent Bai Cao'er, listening to Xu Wenlan's complaints, Bai Cao'er didn't say anything, just looked at Xu Wenlan quietly, with a pair of big eyes and swarthy eyes, Xu Wenlan unconsciously closed her voice.
I don't know if it's her delusion, it seems that after they left the old mansion, Bai Cao'er was more silent than before, and she lost a lot of weight, and a pair of big eyes were embedded in her face, which always looked a little scary.
Even if Bai Shengwu suddenly jumped out in the forest, it was not as scary as Bai Cao'er to watch people faintly.
whispered to Bai Hui'er, and Bai Hui'er glanced at her: "That's Hui'er, what's there to be afraid of?" ”
That's not the case, it's really a bit hairy.
Xu Wenlan sat on the stone, picked up the hazelnut mushrooms in the basket, and said with a smile: "Sister, these have to be sold?" Why don't we keep it for ourselves? ”
flew the eye knife over, and Bai Hui'er said angrily: "You know how to eat!" I'll leave you some. Okay, hurry up, take advantage of the early days to collect more, and sell more money. ”
Xu Wenlan nodded, looked at Bai Hui'er with a smile on her face, and vaguely thought of what He Warden said.
It's really true to rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, the villagers who rely on the mountain all point to this mountain to pay money, and the nature on the other side of the mountain is the same, if she really buys the mountain and closes the mountain, but how many people will hate!
It seems that even if she wants to be a big landlord in the future, she can't buy a mountain.
Shaking her head, Xu Wenlan felt that she was a little funny, this was not a word, she thought too much.
A few steps faster to catch up with Bai Hui'er, and wanted to laugh with Bai Hui'er, but suddenly heard a miserable scream.
After a pause, both of them were startled: "Mother...... Isn't it over there? ”
The four eyes were paired, they all panicked, and they ran so fast with the basket that they didn't even bother to pick up the mushrooms that spilled out.
