Chapter 069 Ascending the Mountain
Fortunately, the snow stopped at this time, and there was no need to worry about the snowflakes falling on the body and wetting the hair and clothes, but the wind was still very strong, and from time to time the snow on the ground swirled in the air, and the wind blew on the face like a knife cut, and the two sisters wrapped their heads in checkered scarves, like two little hens that came out to feed.
When she arrived at the mountain, Tang Xiaofu looked around, put the mouse clip with the carrot on a piece of hay, and left with Tang Xiaolan first.
Tang Xiaofu grew up in a bustling city of reinforced concrete in his previous life, and now he has traveled to the countryside, and he is still quite interested in mountains and rivers, anyway, he has nothing to do now, so he walks around the mountains and sees if he can find any way to make a fortune, such as digging up Ganoderma lucidum or ginseng?
But it doesn't seem realistic, this is Hubei, the thoroughfare of nine provinces, not the Northeast, where do Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng come from?
As she walked, she asked Tang Xiaolan with a glimmer of hope: "What is there on this mountain that can be sold for money?" ”
Tang Xiaolan thought for a while: "There are only black fungus and shiitake mushrooms, but black fungus only grows in the summer rainy season, and although shiitake mushrooms grow in winter, they are very few and difficult to pick." ”
"Then let's look for it now, maybe we can find a few shiitake mushrooms, even if they can't be sold for money and cook them in bone broth."
"I don't eat shiitake mushrooms, and the more I eat, the hungrier I get." Tang Xiaolan expressed resolute opposition.
Tang Xiaofu thought about it, shiitake mushrooms are cholesterol-lowering ingredients, and for Tang Xiaolan, who has no oil and water in her stomach, of course the more she eats, the hungrier she becomes.
The two sisters wandered around for more than ten minutes, but they didn't find the mushrooms, and a sparrow suddenly fell on Tang Xiaofu's head, and then fell on the snow.
Tang Xiaofu's eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at the little sparrow that was motionless on the snow: "What's the situation?" Could it be that this little sparrow has bird flu? ”
"What the hell is bird flu?" Tang Xiaolan asked confusedly.
"It's a disease that wild birds get." Tang Xiaofu explained in an easy-to-understand manner.
"Oh, that's right." Tang Xiaolan looked suddenly enlightened, "Then I can tell my sister for sure that this little sparrow is not sick and died, but froze and fell from the tree." ”
"Ahh And this kind of tragic thing? Tang Xiaofu squatted down and picked up the sparrow, and sure enough, the sparrow was cold, "It turned out that it was really frozen to death!" ”
She stood up and said happily to Tang Xiaolan, "We can pick up the frozen trouble finch back and cook it and eat it!" ”
As soon as she heard that there was meat to eat, Tang Xiaolan couldn't help but swallow her saliva: "It's just that there are very few frozen sparrows, and it's hard to find." ”
"Anyway, the two of us don't have much to do right now, try to find it."
So the two sisters stepped on the snow from the ground to their ankles, and looked down step by step, and after a long time, their legs were sore, and they actually gained a little, and picked up a frozen turtle dove and a dozen sparrows.
When the two of them went out, they didn't expect to pick up these, Tang Xiaofu and Tang Xiaolan put sparrows and turtledoves in their pockets, people were poor and couldn't eat enough in those days, even these little birds were thin, more than a dozen sparrows and a turtledove, and the two of them actually packed them in four pockets!
Tang Xiaofu thought that the sparrow would be the best if it was marinated with chili peppers, so she asked Tang Xiaolan if she could pick marinades and chili peppers in this season.
Tang Xiaolan said: "Yes, it's just that it's a little hard to find this season, the plants are all dry, most of the seeds fall to the ground, and very few are hanging on the branches." ”
Although it was difficult to find, the Tang Xiaofu sisters picked a large handful of peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon and wild Chaotian peppers that had long dried out in about two and a half hours.
