Chapter 7: Roasted Spring Shoots

"Eldest sister, you haven't eaten yet, the second sister is going to cook for you." The second sister and others saw that Grandma said so many things today, and there was no sign of madness, and the second sister and others showed joy on their faces, hoping that Grandma would be as good as today in the future.

It's just that after grandma couldn't say a few words in the past, she was sometimes crazy to smash things and beat people, and sometimes sober, which made everyone in the family panic and tired.

"Second sister, you rest, you haven't eaten what grandma made for a long time, grandma will make it for you in the future." Grandma said, and walked towards the stove, but after seeing that the stove was broken and only half of the pot was left, Grandma's tears flowed down all of a sudden, and her lips trembled, "This is my grandma did it!" ”。

"Grandma, now as long as our family is good, there will be a pot in the future, and our family will have a house in the future, and the silver will not be less, now the eldest sister is looking for a new food in the mountains, and now our family doesn't need the pot for the time being, and the eldest sister will make new food for you today." Liu Yiyu approached Grandma and sat down on the stone pier next to the cave.

After Liu Yiyu took out a spring bamboo shoot from the back basket, he took up the knife and cut the part of the spring bamboo shoot soil directly, washed it, cut it in half, divided it into four pieces, and then used a sharpened wooden stick to insert the cut spring bamboo shoots, light the fire, and directly barbecue the spring bamboo shoots.

"Second sister, third sister, fourth sister, you cut off the rest of the spring bamboo shoots, cut off the spring bamboo shoots on the top, and use them for future food, as for the part behind the tail, peel off the bamboo shoot leaves, cut them into several petals, and then dry them in the sun, and keep them for winter to eat." Liu Yiyu turned and roasted the spring bamboo shoots over and over again, and commanded them to be three people in his mouth.

"Sister, we got it." After a while, the second sister was busy, peeling bamboo shoot leaves, cutting spring bamboo shoots, going to the cave to get bamboo baskets, turning all the bamboo baskets over, and letting the spring bamboo shoots dry on them.

With the busyness of everyone, the spring bamboo shoots roasted by Liu Yiyu gradually exuded a fragrant smell.

provoked the three small ones to come over, leaning on Liu Yiyu's side, staring at Liu Yiyu's spinning spring shoots, and his mouth was unconscious.

"Well, it's ready to eat". Liu Yiyu saw that the spring bamboo shoots were golden, blew the air, took a bite of the spring bamboo shoots and tried it, the entrance was sweet, with a fragrance of bamboo, but unfortunately there was no salt at home, otherwise, if you smear some salt on the spring bamboo shoots, it tastes better.

"Eighth sister didn't have a full stomach today! Eat some more". Liu Yiyu saw the three small eyes looking at the roasted spring bamboo shoots in his hand, and swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

"Sister, you haven't eaten yet? Can the eighth sister eat well this morning? The eldest sister eats". The eighth sister Liu Yile tried hard to take her eyes off the spring bamboo shoots in front of her, and patted her little belly in a serious way, indicating that she was full of food, and she was extremely sensible.

"The eldest sister knows that you are full today, this new food, you have not eaten, today is just for you to taste the new, tomorrow can you eat with an open stomach, this extra new food, we still have to keep it for the winter to reserve food?

Sixth sister, you feed some spring bamboo shoots to the eighth sister to eat, and the two of you eat a piece." Liu Yiyu knows that every time in this family, although it is a pot of wild vegetable soup that the family eats separately, although the adults will take care of the small ones, I am afraid that the small ones can only eat five points full at each meal, not to mention the larger ones, I am afraid that they can only eat three points full, pad the stomach.

"Sixth sister, you take it and feed it to the eighth sister, be careful, don't burn it." However, after the sixth and eighth sisters heard their eldest sister's words, they looked at Liu Li with some hesitation, and Liu Li saw that the two children were so sensible, and their hearts were extremely sad, and they held back the tears that were about to fall.

"Well, eldest sister, you can eat it too." After the sixth sister took the cooked spring bamboo shoots from the eldest sister's hand, she pulled the eighth sister to sit aside, blowing the spring bamboo shoots that were a little hot, and fed the eighth sister.

"Third sister, fifth brother, the spring bamboo shoots are cooked, you come over to eat, rest for a while, and do the rest later."

"Eldest sister, are these spring bamboo shoots delicious? It's still sweet, isn't it? ”。 The fifth brother devoured a few bites, and a large piece of spring bamboo shoots went straight to his stomach.

"Eat slowly, there's a lot more here? Big sister will bake it for you to eat." Liu Yiyu said, and handed the last piece of spring bamboo shoots in his hand to the fifth brother.

When the seventh brother saw the eldest sister handing the last piece of spring bamboo shoots to the fifth brother, the seventh brother's wet eyes stared at him, and Liu Yiyu's heart was soft.

"Sister, you haven't eaten yet? You eat first". Liu Yihao waved his hand and didn't take the piece of spring bamboo shoots in Liu Yiyu's hand.

"It's okay, isn't the eldest sister hungry now? Fifth brother, you and the seventh brother share this piece of bamboo shoots, mother, you also help roast it, and you and grandma and the second sister will also eat a piece, everyone will eat a little more today, and then our whole family will go up the mountain and dig up all the spring bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest."

"Eldest sister, you're tired all morning today, just now my mother saw how to bake it, I know how to get it, you rest for a while, my mother will get it."

"Well, that's a hard worker." I don't think I don't think it, but I said it, I bent over this morning and dug up spring bamboo shoots for two or three hours, and now I have back pain and feel uncomfortable.

After the family finished breakfast, it was almost noon, and after the family rested for a while, the family went up the mountain to the bamboo forest together, and it took nearly four or five hours for the family to dig up all the spring bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest.

If you want to dig spring bamboo shoots again, I am afraid that you will have to wait for ten days and half a month to dig up the next spring bamboo shoots, and then the spring bamboo shoots that will grow again will be hard and old, and I am afraid that you will not be able to eat them.

Liu Yiyu estimated that even if the whole family came to eat with an open stomach, I am afraid that they would only be able to eat for half a month, and saving some food would be enough for the family to eat for a month.

When he was about to go down the mountain, the sky was dark, only a little starlight and a round of silver moon hung in the sky, Liu Yiyu smoked the hole in the ground again with fire to see if there were any rabbits returning home.

Luckily, two stupid rabbits weighing three pounds came home, and after being smoked by fireworks, they were caught by Liu Yiyu.

After solving a month's worth of food and catching two hares that could be exchanged for money, this day is probably the happiest day after Liu Yiyu's family fled to Shangou Village.

After dinner in the evening, a large family sat around the fire.

"Grandma, Auntie, tomorrow is the day of the market, my eldest brother and I went to the town to sell these four rabbits, and then come back with some things, Grandma, Auntie, you see what we have to buy at home." Liu Yiyu glanced at the four big, one small and five rabbits who were locked in today's A-Niang's weaving cage and said.

"Eldest sister, it is estimated that these five rabbits can be exchanged for about two hangings, and then our family will buy a pot, a hoe, a kitchen knife, and buy some black noodles back.

Also, the eldest sister buys some needlework and comes back, A-Niang and Grandma will do needlework, and when they are free in the future, A-Niang and Grandma will do some needlework, first, they can subsidize the family, and secondly, they will have a source of money turnover in the future, and our family will no longer be penniless."
