The woman walked a few steps and then turned back and asked, "Do you live in a cave?" ”

If the girl finds that there is no food in the field, she will stop picking and drying. The old lady had to find the cave and scolded them until they couldn't live and rolled out of the village overnight.

What I promised her must be done well, not even a single point.

A group of exiles actually want to live in vain, and they want to be beautiful!

Du Ruoli understood what she meant, and her smile remained unchanged: "Yes." You go slowly! ”

The woman twisted three times, and finally left.

Du Ruozhen looked at her back hatefully, and couldn't help asking, "Du Ruoli, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?" Say it and don't make us guess. ”

Zhou Daya and Du Ruoying also looked at Du Ruoli and expressed the same meaning.

"Because there is good food in the field."

Du Ruoli bent down, dug out a green thing from the ground with a small hoe she carried, and peeled off the outer skin layer by layer, revealing the white core inside.

The core is thick and thin at the bottom, conical-shaped, and is called cocoon white in later generations. It is the swollen root produced by the fungus infection of wild rice.

This root is remarkable, and it replaces the staple crop of wild rice and turns it into a widely cultivated vegetable.

By the time she once lived, people almost only knew about the white rice and didn't know about the wild rice.

She could know that she had seen it from a popular science blogger and joker. At the time, it looked interesting, so I checked it, but I didn't expect to use it today.

Just now, she saw at a glance that the wild rice was infected with fungi, and judged that there was a white cocoon underneath, so she talked to the owner of the field.

The companions, who had never seen anything like this, gathered around and asked, "What is this?" It's really edible! ”

Du Ruoli said with certainty: "I can eat it." I've eaten it before, it's crisp and sweet. Stir-fried, boiled, and mixed are all very good. ”

Du Ruozhen took the white and looked left and right: "Listening to what you say, it's really good." What are you waiting for, dig up! ”

Zhou Daya and Du Ruoying also looked at Du Ruoli expectantly.

"Dig!"

Du Ruoli gave an order, and the four little ladies immediately waved their small hoes. Dig out a cocoon white,

I couldn't put it down for a while, peeled it and put it in the basket, and continued to plane the next one.

Because the ground is too thin, there is no fertilizer, the white water grows small, and only more than 20 catties are dug out of a large piece of land. Distributed to everyone's head, a little more than five pounds.

Everyone's eyes flashed with a scorching light, and the white was carefully wrapped. After making sure that there was nothing left in the field, he did his best to help the woman clean up the field.

The woman came to the acceptance with a little stuck, did not find fault, nodded with satisfaction, and let them go.

More than half an hour has passed since I first arrived. It was not yet completely dark, and the four girls took advantage of the faint light to return to the cave.

On the side of the dark river in the cave, two fires, one large and one small, have been lit.

The big fire belongs to the Du family. The patriarch has never been confused in these matters, and the affairs of the clan are done by each family in turn. Each family comes according to the rules, and there is very little trouble.

Today's turn is the turn of the fire, it is Du Ruozhen's family. Her family has a large population, so she went up the mountain to pick up a lot of wet firewood, and exchanged two bundles of wet firewood for a bundle of dry firewood with the villagers, a total of five bundles, and the fire was prosperous.

The tribesmen sat in a circle around the fire, warming themselves and baking their clothes, and talking in whispers.

The small fire belonged to the twenty new prisoners. These people don't know why they quarreled, and they were all fierce and vicious, and they were full of gunpowder.

Only the one called Lu Jizhou stayed out of the matter. Sitting on the stone with his long legs folded, his head slightly raised, he wandered out of the world, as if he did not belong here.

What a weirdo. Du Ruoli said in her heart.

By the fire, Du Ruozhen's grandmother saw her granddaughter come in and handed her a burning charcoal basin and a small pot with four wooden bowls, and hot water was boiling in the pot.

"It's too crowded here to sit down, so you guys take a charcoal basin to the fire inside, drink a bowl of hot soup, and dry all your clothes before you can sleep."

"Yes, grandmother."

Whatever you want! Du Ruozhen happily took the charcoal basin, found a downwind outlet away from the fire, put the charcoal basin away, and sat on the pot.

The hot water was churning in the pot, and the four friends had a good heart, and cut the largest and fattest cocoon white and put it in to cook.

Boiled until it is broken, put it in a wooden bowl, it is innocent, I don't know if it is delicious or not, my eyes like it first.

Du Ruoli moved the chopsticks first, put them in her mouth and chewed slowly.

Not bad, fresh and sweet. If only you dared to put oil and salt, or put some sugar to make sugar water......

The others were not as well-informed as she was, and the slightest sweetness felt on the stone was incomparably delicious.

Sure enough, the human love for sweets is engraved in the genes.

The little friend ate happily, Du Ruoli was happy, and the boiled white in her mouth became sweeter and sweeter.

After a bowl of food is eaten, the problem comes.

"Sister Wakari, what's the name of this thing?"

"Where have you eaten, haven't you seen it in the village?"

"How do you know there's something to eat underneath the sick wild rice?"

Du Ruoli put down the bowl and replied proudly: "I don't have an aunt who is married far away from Fucheng?" My aunt came back to the province last year and brought some and taught me how to recognize them, but I forgot the name. She has seen a lot of things in Fucheng, and she told me them all. ”

In fact, my aunt is an uninformed woman, and she just wants to fight the autumn breeze when she comes back to save her relatives.

But for those who have never been out of the village, Fucheng represents the unknown distance and endless new things.

In the future, if there is a reason that she can't say, she will push it to Fucheng and her aunt. After walking thousands of miles, who can verify it?

Sure enough, Du Ruoli's words persuaded the friends.

They have nothing but envy.

Du Ruoli was relieved.

When it's time to rest, you don't have to huddle in a cramped room, and a little movement may be noticed. Finally being able to go back to sleep in the space again, Du Ruoli was extremely excited, and hugged her sister and walked around the space several times.

Eighteen days have passed in the space, and the radish seedlings and cabbage seedlings have grown to the length of a finger, which is the most tender and delicious time.

Pull a handful back, cook it in screw powder, and eat a heavy supper.

The ripped area should not be wasted, and leeks and green onions should be added.

When she was eating screw powder, her sister was lying on her lap, her dark eyes followed her chopsticks, and the corners of her mouth flowed with shiny liquid.

Du Ruoli was happy, and gently poked her little milk fat with her hand: "Little gluttonous cat, why are you so greedy?" Do you even want to eat screw powder? I'm telling you, you can't eat it until you're older. Now let's drink milk powder obediently. ”

The little baby seemed to understand, and cried out with a "wow"!

Crying heartbroken, it seems that the most precious thing has been lost.

The unscrupulous strange sister watched her cry, but laughed more and more happily. Her devilish laughter echoed throughout the space.
