Yuan Gang asked, "How do you get to the county?" ”

Susie hesitated, of course it was best to pull it with a tractor, it was fast and labor-saving, but there were two problems here.

Once they pull the charcoal out, it is impossible for them not to see Chen Changqing.

Besides, the tractor belongs to the production team, although they are willing to pay for oil, they are afraid that it will be seen and the impact will not be good.

Zhu Zhicheng also thought of it, and he whispered: "Why don't you pull it out at night?" ”

"We got the charcoal down from the mountain, and we did it at night, and they didn't know it."

Susie thought for a while, "It's not good at night, let's drag it to the county seat at night, and we have to freeze in the car overnight, this weather can't stand it." ”

She lowered her voice, "Otherwise, let's move the charcoal to the car at four or five o'clock tomorrow morning, and the car will drive to the county seat, just in time for dawn." ”

Everyone nodded.

Zhu Zhicheng said: "Then let's go and work for another day today." ”

After breakfast, the group went up the mountain again.

Tian Xiaohui fed the chickens and ran over to Susie and said, "Sister Qian, there are a lot of winter bamboo shoots growing in the bamboo mountain over there, I see that they are all digging, let's dig some back and eat them?" ”

Susie smiled: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and dig up." ”

Zhao Tingting smiled: "As long as it is eaten, Xiaohui is very active." ”

The three of them went to the warehouse to get machetes, and went to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo shoots with baskets on their backs.

There were many women in the bamboo forest who were also cutting bamboo shoots, and Susie and the others walked for a long time, and when they reached the depths of the bamboo forest, there was no one here, so they put down their baskets and began to work.

There are more bamboo shoots in the depths of the bamboo forest, some grow up to half a person tall, some grow more than one person tall, needless to say, these are not edible.

Only the bamboo shoots that are more than a foot long are the most tender and delicious.

Susie had never done this kind of work, and at first she thought it was very simple, she pulled it out, thinking that she could pull out the bamboo shoots, but soon found that it was just in vain, and her little strength could not shake the bamboo shoots at all.

To thicken the bamboo shoots, you can only cut them vigorously along the roots of the bamboo shoots.

Susie didn't have much strength, and it took a lot of time to get one.

The three girls had been digging up more than 20 bamboo shoots all morning, and when they saw noon, the three of them went home with baskets on their backs to cook.

The arbor didn't come back at noon, and the three of them simply ate a little and began to process the bamboo shoots.

The bamboo shoots were covered with thick shells, peeled off layer after layer, and the bamboo shoot shells on the ground were soon piled up into a mountain.

After peeling the shell, Zhao Tingting took the bamboo shoots and cut them into thin slices.

Seeing that she was tired of cutting, Susie took the kitchen knife and continued to cut.

After cutting more than 20 bamboo shoots, it is a large pot.

This weather is not bad, it can also be dried, and it can still be eaten with a soak in water.

Susie looked at the snow-white bamboo shoots in the basin, "Why don't we stew winter bamboo shoots with wild boar meat today?" ”

Tian Xiaohui said excitedly: "Yes, yes, it must be delicious, if you want to eat it, Sister Qian will eat it." ”

Susie pursed her lips and smiled, for the sake of stuttering, Tian Xiaohui also tried her best to pat her ass.

Susie took the key that had been placed with her while they were gone, opened the door of their house, and took out the bacon that she had been reluctant to eat.

Zhao Tingting quickly washed it with hot water, steamed it in a pot until it was soft, and then cut it into slices.

First get some fatty meat and fry it in the pot until fragrant, then put the wild boar meat and winter bamboo shoots and garlic cloves into the pot and stir-fry, see that they are five or six ripe, and then put water to stew in the pot.

In the evening, Niu Jianguo came in to cook, smelled the fragrance and couldn't help asking, "You eat meat again?" Where did you get the meat? ”

Zhao Tingting said: "It's not just the wild boar meat that we shared last time, we shared a lot, and we were not willing to eat it." ”

Niu Jianguo remembered last time, and they said the same thing last time.

He couldn't help muttering, "You wild boar, I feel like I'll never finish eating." ”

He sighed, swallowed his saliva, and silently went to the back to pick vegetables.

In the evening, they came back very late, and Chen Changqing and them had already eaten and returned to the house in the stove house.

Everyone sat around, and the wild boar meat was stewed on the kerosene stove, and it was eaten hot, not to mention how comfortable.

After eating, Susie took some candy and biscuits to the arbor and their house.

Yuan Gang and Zhu Zhicheng thanked each other.

Qiao Mu looked at Susie without blinking.

Susie looked at Qiao Mu's eyes, and estimated that he wanted to be alone with her again, "No thanks, you can eat, I still have something to go out." After glancing at Qiao Mu, she went out.

Susie went back to the house, took a pound of dried cuttlefish, and put the leftover box of pastries from the last time into her net pocket, and carried them out.

When I went out, I saw Qiao Mu standing in the yard.

He walked over quietly and took the flashlight and net bag from Susie's hand.

Susie whispered to him: "The last time the militia came to check the contraband, it was thanks to Brother Chengcai who reported to us. ”

"I haven't thanked him for that."

Qiao Mu said "um" and walked forward with Susie.

When he arrived outside the courtyard of Xu Chengcai's house, Qiao Mu handed the net bag to Susie, "I'll wait for you outside." ”

Susie took the net, smiled at him, and walked over to the courtyard gate.

There was a fire burning in the hall, and Xu Chengcai's whole family gathered around to roast the fire.

Susie stood in the hall, Xu Chengcai, his parents, his brother and sister-in-law, his sister-in-law, and his little nephew, all looked at Susie curiously.

Susie could only laugh dryly and put things down, "Since I called the horn production team, Brother Chengcai has taken care of me a lot, a little careful." ”

Chengcai's mother hurriedly pulled Susie to sit down and beckoned Chengcai's sister-in-law to make tea.

The talented girl looked at Susie's down jacket curiously, she didn't understand why the dress was bulging.

The young nephew of Chengcai left his saliva on the pastry.

Chengcai's father and his brother all looked at Susie and smiled.

Susie didn't want to leave immediately, and waited until Chengcai's sister-in-law came over to make tea, she took two sips, and stubbornly talked a few words of gossip before saying goodbye.

Chengcai's mother hurriedly said: "Chengcai, you send Su Zhiqing back." ”

Xu Chengcai sent Susie out of the door, and Susie said, "Brother Chengcai, don't send it, there are people waiting for me outside." ”

Xu Chengcai saw the light of a flashlight not far away, and nodded, "Then I won't send it, be careful on the road." ”

When he turned home, he saw that his mother had already opened the brown paper bag.

The whole family stared at the dried cuttlefish on the table, "What is this?" Eat? It smells weird. ”

Xu Chengcai didn't know him, he thought about it, "It should be food, mom, you can ask Zhiqiang tomorrow to find out." ”

Chengcai's mother nodded and wrapped the dried cuttlefish, "It's right to ask her, she used to follow her father to do business outside, and she hasn't seen anything good." ”

Chengcai's nephew reached out to touch the pastries on the table with a runny nose, and Chengcai's sister-in-law slapped his hand hard, "Don't touch the dirty, it's going to be the New Year soon, and this one has to be kept by relatives." ”

Chengcai's mother wrapped the dried cuttlefish, and suddenly smiled mysteriously at Chengcaishen, "You say, why is this Su Zhiqing so good to you, and she sent so many things over, should she ······?"
