Chapter 51 Harvest Autumn, Look for Wild Mountain Ginseng
After the meal, Li Yue'e came to teach Su Mo to make cotton pants again.
Su Mo's learning ability is still very strong, and in the morning, she watched Li Yue'e make cotton clothes, and she also had a general understanding of the production process. cotton pants, Su Mo volunteered to do it herself, and Li Yue'e was on the side to guide her.
Su Mo first sewed the cotton clothes made in the morning again, familiarized herself with the operation of the sewing machine, and then fixed the cotton in the row, and soon, the sewing machine was operated and slipped up.
Li Yue'e also sighed in her heart, Su Mo is worthy of being an educated youth from the city, that is, she is smart. She had also taught the eldest and second family to make clothes before, but she didn't learn so quickly.
After getting the cotton clothes, Su Mo began to measure herself again, cut the pants, and then sew, wadding the cotton, sewing the edges, and the lines, under the guidance of Li Yue'e, they all did it well. In two hours, a pair of cotton pants was ready.
Li Yue'e checked it and said with a smile: "It's done well." ”
"Mother teaches well." Su Mo patted Li Yue'e's ass.
There are no styles of clothes in these years, and Su Mo is not a particularly particular person, as long as she can keep warm and not particularly ugly, she will be successful.
Su Mo looked at the newly made cotton clothes and pants, and her heart was happy. In a few days, she went to the city again, bought a piece of coarse cloth, and took advantage of the evening time to make the cotton clothes of the two of them.
Calculating the time, they should be three or four days before they get to the cowshed, and then she will find an opportunity to go to the next team to step on the spot.
"By the way, mother, I heard that there are a lot of mountain goods on the mountains in the northeast, and every autumn, I have to go to harvest the autumn, and the mountain goods are picked up in several large baskets." Su Mo asked.
When Li Yue'e heard this, she smiled: "Who did you listen to?" ”
"If there are really so many mountain goods, how can the life of the peasants be so miserable?"
"There are a lot of mountain goods, but there are also a lot of people. Everyone didn't have anything to eat, and when they were free, they all went to the mountains, and when there were too many people, they couldn't pick up anything. ”
"Are there wild boars and pheasants on the mountain?" Su Mo was curiously tight.
"Of course, there are, but they are all in the deep mountains, and the mountains outside are almost never seen, even if there is an occasional one, they have been beaten by the militia teams of all teams to improve the food."
The militia were not vegetarians, they were all equipped with shotguns, but any wild beast dared to come down and spoil the food, they were slaughtered.
"Then our militia team usually goes to the mountains to hunt wild boars to improve the food for everyone?" Su Mo asked again.
"Every year when the cats are winter, they will go hunting in the winter and hunt something to add some new year to everyone. However, they didn't dare to go very deep, they only dared to go around the periphery, and they didn't catch much every year, just a few robes, pheasants, hares, and so on. Wild boars don't happen every year, you have to be lucky to get one or two. ”
Now the militia captain is Li Cuihua and her man, just like him, he is afraid of tigers and wolves, what can he fight? It's just a few small things every year that stuff everyone's teeth, so that people can't say that he gets his work for nothing.
"Then why don't they go into the mountains?"
"Oh, that deep mountain is dangerous, I heard that there are tigers, wolves and bears in it, they are all man-eating things, but I don't dare to go." Li Yue'e said, afraid that Su Mo would not believe it, so she added.
"A few years ago, there was a brigade with a bad harvest, and the militia team ventured into the mountains, and more than a dozen people entered, and only five people came out."
"If you want to go to harvest autumn, just go outside, but don't go to the mountains, you know? No matter how many things there are in the mountains, they are not as important as their own lives. Li Yue'e confessed.
"yes, I see." Su Mo nodded.
Look at the heroine in the text of those years, go up to the mountain, pick up wild boars and pheasants or something. She still wants to go up the mountain to solve the problem of eating meat, and she doesn't know if she has this life.
"Do you really want to harvest autumn?" Li Yue'e also said casually, but she didn't expect the third family to really want to go.
"That's right, I want to pick up some mushrooms and mountain goods, and then make some mushroom sauce and send them to the Long March." Su Mo said, she really thought the same way, when the sweater was knitted, make some mushroom sauce for cooking and send it to Lu Changzheng.
"Now that the hazelnut mushrooms are almost over, it is estimated that there are not many, so we have to hurry up." Li Yue'e said. The third family is a person who can hurt people, knitting sweaters and making mushroom sauce, and she used to get some pine nuts and walnuts or something to send them.
"In this way, tomorrow I will ask the eldest girl to accompany you, you are not familiar with this place, don't get lost."
In the first two years, in other brigades, there were educated youths who went up the mountain to harvest autumn and got lost. I heard that it took two days to find it, and when I found it, people were almost stupid.
"Okay, then I'll go around the mountains with the big girl tomorrow and see what mountain goods there are." The eldest girl is Lu Fengqin, the eldest daughter of Lu Xingjun, who is 9 years old this year.
"At this time, there are still some hazelnut mushrooms in the mountains, there are pine nuts and walnuts, there are also some chestnuts, and shepherd's cabbage, but they are not as tender as in spring, and they are dug and dried at this time, and when there are no greens to eat in winter, it is good to cook and eat."
Su Mo nodded.
The two talked for a while, and Li Yue'e was about to go back, Su Mo hurriedly found a jar, filled it with about a pound of brown sugar, and brought it back to her.
After Li Yue'e left, Su Mo saw that it was still early, so she took out a pen and paper again and began her literary creation.
She plans to write three or four short stories of about 1,000 words and send them over first, all of which are interesting stories and anecdotes full of positive energy from educated youths going to the countryside. The state is encouraging educated youths to go to the countryside, and this kind of article should be relatively easy to choose.
I kept writing until it was dark, and then Su Mo stopped writing and put the manuscript away.
Su Mo is not going to eat steamed buns tonight, and is going to make a claypot rice with cured meat.
Closing the back window of the hall, Su Mo took out the small stove he used in the last days, and then took out a small casserole. I found some fine wood and lit the small stove, then brushed the small casserole with oil, put the washed rice into the casserole, added an appropriate amount of water, and put it on the small stove to boil.
While cooking, she cut some sausage and bacon, and when the rice was almost ready, she spread the sausage and bacon on top of the rice. Then I took a small handful of coriander and green onion and diced it, and after the meal was ready, sprinkled with coriander and diced green onions, and then poured some soy sauce, a pot of fragrant cured claypot rice was ready.
Su Mo ate claypot rice, looked at the practical small stove, and thought that she had to find an opportunity to let this old guy who had been with her for several years in the last days see the light of day again.
Her stove is specially made in the last days, sturdy and durable, and easy to carry, especially suitable for the special team and single people like her who go out on missions.
After eating, Su Mo put the small stove that had cooled back into the space, and after the casserole was cleaned, it was also put away.
After lighting the kerosene lamp, starting to boil water and taking a bath, after cleaning up, Su Mo went back to the room, closed the doors and windows, hung the curtains, turned on the table lamp, and continued her literary creation. It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that Su Mo turned off the lights and went to sleep.
The next day, Su Mo got up early in the morning and went to the vegetable field first, and gave birth to the seeds of several fields to germination. Su Mo found that relying on the land here to grow plants was actually very provincial.
In the last days, because the land contains zombie viruses, the soil for crop cultivation relies on the soil power. However, the soil created by the soil ability does not contain the minerals needed for plant growth, and is quite barren.
Seeing that using soil is no different from directly inducing birth, many wood-based abilities like to spawn directly, and Su Mo is also like this.
It was a real surprise.
In this winter, she found someone to make a few wooden frames and put some soil in the hall, which could not only produce vegetables every day, but also pretend to do research.
When the time comes, her new varieties of vegetables will also have a provenance.
For breakfast, Su Mo fried two eggs and ate another bun. As soon as she finished eating, she heard someone outside the courtyard who seemed to be calling her.
"Third aunt, third aunt, are you at home?"
Su Mo walked out of the house and saw that it was Lu Fengqin, carrying a basket on her back, standing outside the courtyard gate and looking inside.
The Lu family is not short, and Lu Fengqin has also inherited a height advantage, at the age of 9, her height is about 130. It's just that there is nothing to eat in this era, so she is very thin, with big eyes, and two small pigtails, she is a very delicate little girl.
Seeing Su Mo coming out, Lu Fengqin hurriedly said, "Third aunt, my grandmother asked me to take you to harvest autumn." ”
"Fengqin, you come in and sit for a while, and I'll change my clothes." Su Mo beckoned Lu Fengqin to come in, and Lu Fengqin pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
Su Mo let Lu Fengqin into the hall and pretended to take a bun out of the steamer, "Here, eat a bun." ”
When Lu Fengqin saw the buns, her eyes lit up, "Third aunt, is this a leek bun?" ”
Yesterday, Li Yue'e took 6 buns back, and then took two for the children in the big room and the second room to eat. After Lu Fengqin finished eating, she remembered that it was simply the most delicious bun she had ever tasted.
"Yes, leek buns, but that's all there is left, you eat it yourself, don't say it." Su Mo said.
There are many children in the big house and the second room, and it's okay to give some delicious food occasionally, but she can't afford to give it more, and she still understands the truth of promoting rice and fighting rice hatred.
Lu Fengqin was thinking about taking it home and sharing it with her younger siblings, but when she heard Su Mo say this, she gave up and ate the buns in three or two bites.
It's not that she is ignorant as the eldest sister, it's that the third aunt said that she couldn't say it and ate it by herself.
Su Mo changed into overalls, put on liberation shoes, took a backpack, and went out with Lu Fengqin.
Su Mo was a little excited in her heart, went up the mountain to harvest autumn, absorbed energy, and looked for wild ginseng!
