Chapter 23: Stingy Guy Drinks Cold Water
As soon as Xiang Tiange finished washing, he saw the sixth brother come out, "Sixth brother, are you full?" ”
Xiang Rokuro nodded, rinsed the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and took them to the kitchen to put them away.
Seeing that the sixth brother was full, Xiang Tiange hung up his small towel in his hand, and hurriedly finished a bowl of porridge, put on his small basket and set off with his family to the mountain.
Seeing that everyone was gone, and the Yan family was not there, Lao Xiangtou quietly complained to his wife: "Why hasn't the second family's cooking skills improved for so long?" Not to mention that it is as good as the eldest daughter-in-law, it is not much different from what the third daughter-in-law does......"
Old Jiang turned his head and glared at him slightly: "What?" Now you can't stop your mouth with food? Then I'll talk to the second family next time, I don't need to cook your share. ”
“......”
Lao Xiangtou was choked for a moment, and then he muttered in a low voice: "I'll just tell you......"
Old Jiang ignored him, got up and went to turn over the hemp drying in the courtyard, these are to be woven into cloth to pay taxes, if there is a surplus, you can also add a new dress of half to the juniors in the family.
Lao Xiangtou was reprimanded, and hurriedly followed his old wife to the courtyard and helped her dry the hemp together.
Xiang Tiange and the others who have already gone out here.
"Second brother and second brother, you see, this is plantain! It is also called shrimp membrane coating, cattle relics, seven star grass, five grasses, cow beets and so on... There are many names, but the main thing is called plantain. ”
Xiang Tiange pulled Xiang Erlang, who was holding her, and pointed to the plantain at the ridge and said to him.
"Uh-huh, didn't grandma say that? Every household in this plantain village has prepared it, and our family also basks in the sun, and we have boiled water to drink it when it is hot, have you forgotten? Xiang Erlang looked at the grass that his sister pointed to, and saw that it was the dried plantain at home, so he said to her.
"I haven't forgotten ......" Xiang Tiange felt a little pity, but he didn't forget it.
This plantain is everywhere, if only the family could pick it and sell it.
It's a pity that her idea was told to her family, and her grandmother rejected it, and took her to see a dustpan of dried plantain, and said to her that everyone in the village has this thing, and there are many pharmacies, and every year when it is hot in summer, the pharmacies will also boil into juice and give it to the people passing by for free.
I can't use it to add some income to my family, so Xiang Tiange feels a little pity.
"Eighth sister, don't be discouraged, don't you know other herbs in the book? Later, you will look carefully and find the fifth brother to help you dig! Xiang Wulang happened to be walking in front of them, and when he heard the words of the two, he turned his head and saw his eighth sister with a pity on her face, and hurriedly comforted her.
"Uh-huh!" Xiang Tiange thinks about it, there are no plantains, there are other grasses! She can come to the mountain with her family, as long as she looks carefully, she will definitely find other herbs on the mountain!
So she didn't bother anymore, and took her second brother's hand and pulled him to the front.
The hill of Lao Xiang's family is a little far from the village, and they have to pass through a large field planted by the villagers, and then walk up the mountain road for two quarters of an hour to reach the top of the hill where they Lao Xiangjia.
Before she was halfway through, Xiang Tiange was a little tired, and when Xiang Erlang saw this, he picked her up, took off her small back basket and put it in the back basket behind him.
Xiang Tiange took off the little straw hat she was wearing on her head and fanned the second brother: "Second brother, thank you, Yaya will help you fan the wind, so that you won't feel so hot." ”
"Well, thank you."
Xiang Erlang felt that it was actually not so hot, because it was still early and the mountain breeze was cool, but he would not refuse the kindness of his eighth sister.
Holding his eighth sister, Xiang Erlang strode directly in front of Xiang Wulang, who was looking at him with his eyes, and walked forward.
Mukaigoro: ...... The second brother is so stingy!!
He just fanned him with the eighth sister!
Cheapskate! Drink cold water!
He made a silent grimace at his back, and then followed.
Seeing this, the Wang family in the back smiled helplessly and shook their heads.
Xiang Tiange didn't let the second brother carry her all the way to his own mountain, but only let him hold her for a while, and he felt that he was not so tired, so he struggled down and walked by himself.
In the end, Xiang Tiange insisted on walking to the mountain by himself.
"Okay, then Erlang, you are here to watch your younger brothers and sisters rest for a while, and my mother and your eldest uncle, as well as Dalang Saburo Shiro, will go and find the twisted fruit first." Wang instructed Erlang to stay here and stare at a few small rests for a while.
Xiang Erlang nodded and said, "Okay, mother, don't worry, I will be optimistic about my younger brothers and sisters." ”
Xiang Erlang was watching, and the Wang family was naturally very relieved, each carrying their own back baskets, holding tools and continuing to walk forward.
It is at the foot of the mountain, and although there are also twisted trees, most of the ripe ones are picked and eaten by passers-by, and you have to go up the mountain to find more.
Each family has its own mountain, and generally does not go to other people's mountains to cut down trees and find fruit to sell for money, but it doesn't matter if you pass by at the foot of the mountain and pick some to eat, and everyone will not care about anything.
Seeing that several brothers were sitting on the dead wood to rest, Xiang Tiange squatted curiously on the ground, looking at the clumps of mushrooms emerging from the pile of fallen leaves, and looked at them curiously.
Xiang Erlang took Gorou to pick the wild fruits on the tree next to them, Xiang Qilang sat down on the dead wood, not wanting to move, Xiang Liulang saw the eighth sister squatting there, so he also stepped forward curiously and asked him, "Eighth sister, what are you looking at?" ”
When Xiang Tiange saw the sixth brother coming, he pulled him and pointed to the cluster of mushrooms and asked him: "Sixth brother, what kind of mushroom is this?" Is it toxic? Or can you eat it? ”
Xiang Liulang looked at the mushroom, and was also a little surprised, and then shook his head, "I don't know, let's make a note of its location first, and then let the eldest brother come over to see if this mushroom is edible." ”
"Uh-huh." Xiang Tiange had no opinion and nodded.
It doesn't matter if she can eat it or not, she definitely didn't crouch down and stare at them carefully because she wanted to pick mushrooms.
Well... I don't know if the gods have any books about mushrooms?
If only there were mushrooms, there are a lot of mushrooms in the mountains, but few people know if they can be eaten?
I heard that there was a person in the village who used to pick and eat because he didn't know it, but he had diarrhea on the day he ate it, and he spent a lot of money and couldn't save it, so the old Xiang family didn't know anything except Xiang Dalang, who knew the mushrooms that could be eaten, and Xiang Dalang knew that it was because his uncle's family took him to pick them a few times, so he recognized some.
