Chapter 399: Frosting
"There are them here, and it looks like we had a lot of luck today." Qin Jiang was in a good mood, picked up the loot he found, and acted very carefully.
After wandering around with Qin Xi this morning, he found that the fungi in late autumn this year did not grow much.
If you want to use a back basket to send mushrooms home with a back basket and a back basket, it is impossible, so it is almost the same as picking up some to eat yourself.
"I didn't expect that on the way back, there would be such a surprise."
The two of them were not greedy, and after picking up the mushrooms in this bamboo forest, they went home directly.
These days, although it has been raining, but in the ditches and canals, there is no water, only large and small puddles have stored some water, and the previous drought will not be relieved for a while.
Shiitake mushrooms are still very easy to wash, after soaking in water, the skin on the umbrella cover becomes slippery, and the dirty things on it are washed with a slight pick with your fingernails, and it doesn't take much water.
After washing all the mushrooms and putting them in a bowl, a sea bowl was erected, but this is because the mushrooms are still fresh and stunned.
Qin Xi wants to make egg soup, Qin Jiang naturally has no opinion, he also likes to drink the warm soup.
The bean sprouts that came out the day before yesterday already looked a little good, and Qin Xi also grabbed a large handful of them and added some bean sprouts to them, this soup will taste better.
As for the staple food, of course there is none, one person and one large bowl of soup, after drinking, Qin Qing and Qin Xi directly burped, as for Qin Jiang, he was almost meaningful, and if he ate a persimmon, it would be almost the same.
After Qin Xi and Qin Qing finished eating, they would also eat a persimmon, but it was eaten as a dessert snack.
Time passed unhurriedly, and it rained every three or five days, but Qin Xi and they didn't worry about the water anymore.
The news of the fungus growing in the forest spread throughout the village after a while, and at this time, there were probably more people picking up fungus in the forest than fungus.
Qinxi and Qinjiang are two Buddhas, don't force it at all, if you can't pick up the fungus, you can pick up some firewood and go back, it's all the same.
Thanks to the villagers' enthusiasm for fungi, Qinxi and Qinjiang took the opportunity to pick up a lot of firewood and went back, and the trees were not less climbed, and the pants were mended twice, after all, the dead branches grew on the trees, so they had to go up and cut the dead branches with a firewood knife.
On this day, Qin Xi got up early in the morning and found that it was very cold outside, and as soon as she opened the door, she was blown back by the cold wind, and the door was closed again.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Qin Qing sat up from the bed in a daze, with a cute expression on her face.
The quilt sealing technique was so powerful that even she hesitated for a few minutes.
"Early this morning, there was a very big frost outside, and a layer of hoarfrost hung on everything outside, and now it is very cold."
"Remember to wear cotton clothes and cotton pants, now the low temperature outside, other clothes can't resist."
This is a sign that winter is coming, and it is more positive to stock up on firewood recently.
Qin Xi wanted to change her clothes at the same time, her vest was very suitable for wearing yesterday, but it won't work today, she will also change her cotton clothes.
She prefers summer to winter, even if there are countless snakes, insects, rats and ants in summer, and countless high temperature sweat, but these are not too gentle compared to the winter that may endanger life.
"I'll change it." Qin Qing reluctantly got out of the warm quilt.
In the next second, he was almost retracted by the cold.
No, she is living more and more back, in the past, in winter, there were no cotton clothes to wear, sometimes, even had to wear straw sandals, go to the river to wash the clothes of a large family, at that time, she survived, now life is so comfortable, she is so afraid of the cold.
Thinking of this, Qin Qing straightened her back, got out of bed with her head held high, and went to the cabinet to get clothes to wear.
After getting dressed neatly, Qin Xi and Qin Qing looked at each other, and after nodding, Qin Xi opened the door violently, letting the cold air rage in the room, washing away the few heaters in the room.
"Whew, it's so cold!" Saying that, Qin Xi couldn't help it, walked to the edge of the bamboo fence wall, stretched out a finger, and scraped the hoarfrost covered by the bamboo pole with his fingernails, which had not yet melted.
"Sister, it's freezing here." Qin Qing tapped his hand in the bucket, and was in a very good mood.
The bucket was filled with water, and although it was only a thin layer, it had already frozen into an ice lump, and you could still see the water under the ice cubes.
"Don't worry about it, go wash your face first, pour hot water in the kettle to wash, this kind of weather, cold water, you can't do it."
As for the hot water, when it runs out, just boil it again.
Qin Jiang had a rare lazy sleep today, it was Qin Xi who knocked on the door and called people out to eat.
Breakfast is a simple sweet potato white porridge with a stack of kimchi, refreshing and appetizing.
This is all frosted, which means that the sweet potatoes at home can't be stored for long, and the fresh sweet potatoes left before are still half a bag, about twenty or thirty catties.
In the past few days, sweet potatoes may be indispensable every day, and it is really a change of tricks to eat, after all, a dozen frosts, sweet potatoes may be frozen, if you don't eat them in time, it will be ruined.
After eating and drinking, Qin Qing continued to go to school, she is still a student, her main task is to study, she doesn't need to worry too much about anything else, when she really needs her help, Qin Xi herself will take the initiative to ask her to help.
Qinxi and Qinjiang went into the mountains with firewood knives, cutting pine branches and picking pine cones.
Now the weather is getting colder and colder, the temperature is so low during the day, Qin Xi has already thought of the cold in previous winters, so the more firewood at home, the better, it is best to stock up on the whole house, this is her idea with a lack of security.
Regarding Qin Xi's idea, although Qin Jiang reserved his opinion, he still accommodated and let her go, he just needed to stay by her side all the time and help her.
The two of them frantically chopping dead branches, or attracted a lot of villagers, they are all like Qin Xi and them, they are also chopping firewood in the forest, they don't need to know anything else, they just need to follow the trend, anyway, firewood is a good thing, and it won't be bad for a long time.
Because of the drop in temperature, even if the humidity is enough, the fungi in the forest still grow and become fewer, and many fungi are frozen back by this temperature.
This makes some people particularly disappointed, this fungus has not grown long, and it has not grown much, and it is gone, they have not eaten enough!
There are also some people who hope to find some mushrooms in the forest and go to the town to exchange them for money to buy food! Now it's okay, the food is not available, and an even bigger crisis is looming.
