Chapter 358: Chicken Fir Fungus
The quarrel next door, Qin Xi and Qin Jiang naturally heard it, after all, the ears are not deaf, and there is a mud wall between the two sides, and the next door is a little bit windy and low, and they are all clear here.
The little couple quarreled in the kitchen, and they all heard all the words clearly. It's hard to judge.
Moreover, Qin Xi didn't expect that the two would quarrel and have such a disgraceful relationship with her, but she didn't admit it.
After all, she just cooked in the kitchen, and who knows, she will be stirred into the melon field to eat melons.
After eating, sitting and resting for a while, Qin Xi and Qin Jiang set off with baskets and went to the forest to pick up mushrooms.
At this time, the weather is hot and sultry, the moisture is abundant, and the fungi in the forest, as long as the umbrella cover is opened, it is possible to give birth to maggots, and only those that are very tender and have not long since they grown, and the insects have not had time to start, can be spared.
People in the village often say that eating mushrooms is eating maggots, because the mushrooms that grow in summer are basically maggots, although there are no maggots, but they are a kind of small red ants, which will also eat up the fungus meat inside, leaving only a shell shell outside.
Qin Xi doesn't like to eat maggots with fungus, although it is high in protein, it is insulated.
But when you encounter these, you won't want to, pick them up and dry them, and it is also a good choice to sell dried mushrooms, after all, the price is the same, and if you want to eat it, you will deliberately pick it out and put it on another dustpan to dry, and you will use different bags to pack it, and you have to mark it, and when you sell it, be careful not to take it wrong.
"Xiaoyao, you stay at home and take care of the house!"
"Okay." Wan Yao nodded, and agreed very happily.
Now she stays at home to look after the house, and when her brothers and sisters go out to work, she can lock the door and go to play with the little sisters in the village.
This game is not a traditional play, but a group to dig wild vegetables and cut tender grass, or go to the forest to collect firewood and fungus.
Although it is work, having someone with you is already equivalent to playing.
After Qinjiang and Qinxi went out, they turned right directly, took the middle of their house and Fangzheng Yunqing's house, and went to the back forest.
As soon as she entered the forest, Qin Xi was very sharp-eyed and saw two blue-headed mushrooms hidden in the bushes, but unfortunately, the big one had maggots, but she also received them in the basket.
Now there are not many mushrooms growing in the forest, but there are many people who scavenge, and they don't need to carry baskets at all, and they can fill the two baskets they are carrying, which is already a very good harvest.
When picking up mushrooms, they saw the fallen pine cones and dead branches and leaves, and the two of them didn't let go, and it was also a good choice to pick up these things and burn them on fire.
After working for more than an hour, the two of them probably picked up two or three catties of mushrooms, which is fine, they can go back to rest, who knows, when they go back, they can also see a chicken fir fungus with an umbrella covered with a soup bowl in the thatch.
With a very excited heart, Qin Xi and Qin Jiang took sticks and carefully pried out the roots of the chicken fir fungus, and when she saw the fungus that was almost as long as her arm, Qin Xile's eyes narrowed.
This fungus is very fresh, and it has not been infested by maggots and ants, but the edge of the cap has been bitten by insects a few times, which is harmless.
"This mushroom is good, it is used to cook soup and drink tonight, it is very fragrant, when the time comes, beat two eggs into it, and then a few pieces of bacon, and it will not be fragrant."
Not only Qin Xi, but Qin Jiang also felt very incredible, but he didn't expect that when he returned, there would be such an unexpected gain.
"Just do it, that is, there are no chickens at home, otherwise you have to kill a chicken to match this fungus."
As for buying, it's impossible, it's too expensive, five dollars a chicken, after plucking, an old hen that doesn't lay eggs, it's about a pound and a half, on average, it's three or four yuan a pound, or that's the sentence, it's too expensive.
With that money, they might as well catch a rabbit from the firewood room and slaughter it for meat, a rabbit, pluck the hair, let alone have four catties, or rabbit meat is cost-effective.
Although the old hen is very supplemental, it is not a special time, and I am reluctant to buy it.
After going to the countryside for so many years, Qin Xi also bought an old feathered old hen from the village lady on her birthday the year before last, and the pot of chicken soup was too fragrant, so she deliberately set it aside to stew dried bamboo shoots, which was not delicious.
When they got home, they picked out the fungi, put them in a dustpan, and sent them to the roof to dry, and the two poured out a basin of cold water, washed their hands and faces, and after washing, they went back to the house for a lunch break.
Even if you can't sleep in this kind of weather, it's good to lie down and squint, and you can be a lot more energetic in the afternoon, and when you lie down and rest, your back can be relaxed, and when you go to work in the afternoon, it will be much better.
Qin He, who was next door, slept directly on the stool, only to see him splicing two benches into a simple small bed, and then, lying on it, he had to go to work in the afternoon, so he naturally had to rest well at noon.
Now he didn't want to see Liu Mei, so naturally he didn't go back to the house to sleep in the bed, but in the kitchen, he casually used a stool to deal with it.
He fell asleep after eating, Liu Mei couldn't wipe her face, she couldn't pull off that face, and now she was still hungry!
She had obviously smelled the food, but she stiffened her neck and lay in the house, waiting for Qin He to come in and invite her out to eat.
But who knows, Qin He doesn't care about her at all, nor does he care about the child in her belly, he just cares about eating by himself, and falls asleep after eating, he has no heart and lungs, and his heart aches.
Liu Mei's current situation is that as long as she thinks of what happened at noon today, she is angry and her heart hurts, and at this time, the child in her belly may also feel her emotions, some faint pain, feel it carefully, but there is nothing to gain, she doesn't know exactly where the pain is, it lasts for a short time, and now she is making trouble with Qin He, so she doesn't care about it.
After all, with this condition at home now, even if there is any problem, she has no other way, she is pregnant with a child, she can't take medicine, as for going to a big hospital, one is that she has no money, and the other is that Liu Mei herself feels that there is no need for that.
It is not for nothing that a peasant woman in the countryside is pregnant with a child doing heavy physical work, and it is not for nothing that she gives her child to a woman who is tired of giving birth prematurely, compared to those people, she can be regarded as a drizzle.
With that fluke mentality, Liu Mei never told others about her stomach discomfort.
After all, she is very alone now, her mother's family can't go back, the water splashed by the married girl, her in-laws don't welcome her, and her own man is unreliable, she naturally feels that no one can be relied on, and everything has to be supported by herself.
