Chapter 5: Rewarding (1)
Jiang Jiujiu and his entourage dug all the way and dug a lot of good things.
Go all the way to the depths!
"Eldest sister, you're going to the depths, you can't go inside." Jiang Haochen opened his mouth to remind.
"It's okay, you can still go in for a while, I just looked and saw that there were no signs of wild beasts nearby, and there were pheasants. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll be able to catch two. ”
"Really, big sister? Got pheasants? Jiang Haoyu raised his head and asked Jiang Jiujiu.
"Well, the third brother wants to eat chicken." Jiang Jiujiu teased Jiang Haoyu.
"Well, I haven't eaten in a long time." Jiang Haoyu thought that he was a boy and shouldn't be delicious, and the little sister didn't say that she wanted to eat it. I couldn't help but bow my head shyly.
"Sister, I want to eat too." Jiang Xue's eyes lit up, as if she was telepathically between twins, and she felt Jiang Haoyu's embarrassment. Then he secretly winked at Jiang Haoyu, who was looking at him, as if to say, look, I want to eat it too, don't be embarrassed.
Jiang Jiu looked at the third brother and the younger sister, and then at the second brother, and found that the eyes of the three children were all longing, recalling that during this time, because his younger brothers and sisters had not eaten anything good, they had lost a lot of weight, and suddenly their hearts were full of guilt.
"Don't worry, my sister will let you eat well." Jiang Jiujiu assured with a chest in line.
"Let's go, then! Otherwise, the pheasants will run away. Jiang Xue pulled Jiang Jiu and was about to run inside.
"Little sister, slow down, even if you have pheasants like you, they will be scared away by you." Looking at Jiang Xue, who was in a hurry, Jiang Haochen reminded.
"Oh~" Then I saw Jiang Xue slow down, stand on tiptoe, and sneak forward with her body in her body.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang Jiujiu couldn't cry or laugh.
Following behind Jiang Xue, the group walked twenty or thirty meters away and came to a bamboo forest.
"Bamboo forest, there are bamboo shoots to eat! It's been a long time since I've eaten bamboo shoots. Jiang Jiujiu looked at the bamboo forest in front of him and cheered, you must know that since he came here, he has never seen anyone eat bamboo shoots, let alone eaten. Hurriedly put down the back basket and was about to pass.
"Eldest sister, where can't I go, I heard that there are things that can't be eaten. It didn't take long for someone to die. Jiang Haochen called.
"It's okay, there's nothing you can't eat, just find the right one and use the right method. This bamboo shoot can only be eaten if it is tender. Jiang Jiujiu explained. Can't eat it, joke, I didn't know how much I ate before. Jiang Jiujiu truthfully thought no.
"Eldest sister, what are bamboo shoots" Jiang Haoyu looked up at the bamboo forest in front of him, and then asked September.
"Bamboo shoots are the tender growth parts of young bamboo stalks. When it has not completely grown from the ground, and when it has just been excavated, it can be eaten as a vegetable.
Bamboo shoots are available all year round, but only spring and winter shoots taste the best.
The bamboo shoots dug after the beginning of spring are known as the "king of vegetables" for their large bamboo shoots, white as jade, fresh and tender meat, and delicious and refreshing. It is also known as "Mountain Eight Treasures". Spring bamboo shoots have a light and tender taste and are rich in nutrients.
Jiang Jiujiu explained, and then went on to talk about the benefits of bamboo shoots: "Spring bamboo shoots contain sufficient water, rich vegetable protein, and essential nutrients for the human body. Benefit the nine orifices, clear the blood veins, dissolve phlegm and salivation, eliminate food and swelling, nourish yin, benefit blood, and brighten the eyes"
"Sister, is this true?" Jiang Xue asked.
"What, doesn't the little sister believe the eldest sister? It's so sad, in this case, I have to eat the delicious bamboo shoots, and I don't have your share. Jiang Jiujiu covered his heart and made a distressed and heartbroken expression. Teasing Jiang Xue.
"Faith, faith, faith. Eldest sister, I believe that you have to do my part. I'm going to eat it too, okay? As soon as she heard that her share was gone, Jiang Xue nodded again and again.
……
Jiang Jiu dug up more than 20 bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, took them aside and peeled them with Jiang Xue, peeled half of them and kept half of them, so that they could not finish eating to store, and Jiang Haochen and the two brothers were looking for others around.
Looking at the fresh and tender, fat and big, white bamboo shoots like jade, I sighed happily: "It's good luck, watching how well the bamboo shoots grow, it's a good time to dig, if it is a few days later, it will grow up and can't be eaten." You must know that these bamboo shoots grow fast. ”
At this moment, Jiang Haoyu's surprised voice suddenly came: "Sister, there is a fruit tree in front, there are so many fruits." ”
saw Jiang Haoyu running forward around the bamboo forest, and Jiang Haochen followed closely.
Jiang Jiujiu put down the bamboo shoots and led Jiang Xue to follow.
By the time they passed, Jiang Haochen and the others had already picked a bunch of fruits under the tree.
I saw a large area of fruit trees, with cherries, early peaches, apricots, pears, loquats, and plums. A patch of strawberries crawled all over the dirt slope next to it.
Perhaps because few people come, the fruit here is growing well.
Jiang Jiujiu and Jiang Xue put down their back baskets, went to the strawberry field on the side to pick strawberries, and looked at the strawberries in front of them Jiang Jiujiu said to Jiang Xue: "Little sister, pick a big one"
After picking the strawberries in the half-basket, I started to climb the tree to pick them
Fruits, a lot of everything.
Looking at the piles of fruits on the ground, Jiang Jiujiu began to vacate the contents of Jiang Haochen and Jiang Haoyu's back baskets, and spread wild vegetables on the bottom and around them.
Put the fruit inside, the big one at the bottom and the small one at the top, separated by leaves in the middle. After filling it, seal the back edge with wild vegetables, and you can't see the fruit inside.
After loading the two back baskets, he didn't finish loading them, so he asked Jiang Haochen to take Jiang Xue back first: "Second brother, you and the little sister will carry the two back baskets back and put them in the house first, and you will come again, and the little sister will guard at home." ”
"Little sister, you go back first, look at these fruits, there are several good things in them, rare goods, you can buy a lot of money." Jiang Jiujiu advised.
"Hmm."
"If you go back, if you meet someone who asks, say that it is wild vegetables, but you can't show them it." Jiang Jiujiu was uneasy to advise.
……
The two siblings with the basket on their backs returned to the bottom of the mountain, although Yunling was behind their home, they had to walk 180 meters to arrive. As soon as I was halfway there, I met someone from the village, Zhang Wang.
You must know that this Wang has sharp-beaked monkey gills, oily head and noodles, and he is a spicy person who is idle all day, a mouth, but a bad woman, and he likes to talk about the east and the west family everywhere.
"Yo~ Jiang Meng's baby, what are you carrying here?" "Aunt Wang is good, it's nothing, it's just some wild," Jiang Haochen explained.
"Wild vegetables? Dig so much, it's impossible to put! Is there something good to hide. Zhang Wang's face was not convinced, and he stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Xue's back basket: "Jiang Xue, show me your back basket." ”
"It's really a wild vegetable!" Jiang Haochen and Jiang Xue explained, a little anxious.
"It's really wild vegetables, Aunt Wang, let's go first." After speaking, Jiang Haochen pulled Jiang Xue and ran home.
"Eh~ What are you running, I'll take a look, I'm afraid I won't be able to rob you." Behind him, Zhang Wang's shouting sounded.
"Hmph, what the hell, don't let me see it, you and I are rare, phew!" Zhang Wangshi muttered and looked around.
trotted all the way home, took the fruits in the basket to the house and put them away, and after a few words of advice to Jiang Xue, he left with the basket on his back.
