Chapter 46: Black Fungus
''It's really all sent, I thought it was spread. Third daughter-in-law, you are so willing. '' Pei Xiu didn't even notice that Mrs. Zhou Cheng was also here. After looking around, yes, everyone she knew was there.
You can say it publicly at one time, someone from the province asked about it. '' I discussed it with the head of our family, and he also felt that a few children should not favor one another over another, and send them all if they want. Anyway, they are all old enough to go to school. We have been frugal for so many years, and we can still barely cover the expenses for one or two years. As for the future, we can only save money slowly, and we must pay what we can afford. ''
Everyone praised that the two couples were affectionate and righteous, and an outsider also planned to spend money to go to school. There are also people who don't like them. Seeing so many people present, they can't say anything, so they pouted and kept silent.
They have been separated for a long time, and they don't have to pay the money from Sister-in-law Zhou. She can't control them. Just ask a question or two, but she is distressed that the money is spent on outsiders. Anyway, it is not her turn to worry, love What's up. Her sons are all married, and the youngest grandson is just one year old, and he is still very early for school. The same is true for my sister-in-law on Tuesday. My grandson is only a few months old, and my younger son can marry a wife, so he can go to school.
After Pei Xiu finished speaking, she picked wild vegetables silently and stopped talking. These wild vegetables are just emerging, it is the most tender time, pick more, go back to boil water to mourn, take a garlic fry and it is good to eat, or make dumplings is also good.
Thinking about the recipe in my heart, my hands are not slow. There are so many people in the mountains and fields, and everyone's hands are fast. She kept her head down and her neck was sore. Every now and then, she would lift up and twist her neck, and saw the black blossoms on the tree trunk not far away.
It's also a shame that she has good eyesight now, and she can actually see from a distance. In order to confirm his guess, Pei Xiu got up and took a closer look. Delighted, it is really black fungus. After walking around the trunk, this big tree should have withered away. The other big trees are all green, no wonder they can grow black fungus.
Datou Niang saw that Pei Xiu suddenly stood up, walked forward, and circled around the tree. She was curious and stepped forward to take a look. She didn't know what was so beautiful about this tree, didn't she die? What is the black flower-like thing on this tree trunk, why did Mrs. Hammer pick it up?
Pei Xiu didn't care what the big head mother thought, she just picked it by herself, and picked all the black fungus on the trunk. Some higher places couldn't be picked, so I asked Zhou Cheng to pick it later, regardless of the amount of picking. This thing is only a little bit dry, which is probably enough for her to grab it.
Datounniang saw that Pei Xiu had picked all the black flowers on the trunk and put them in the basket, and asked curiously, ''What is this, Mrs. Hammer, why did you pick them all, can you eat them? ''
''This is called black fungus, it can be eaten, I will go around again, anyway, I can pick enough wild vegetables to eat for a day or two. '' After Pei Xiu finished speaking, she turned around, planning to circle around to see if she still received the goods.
It was hard to walk after it rained, and it was wet everywhere, and her shoes and trousers were wet, but Pei Xiu’s heart was flying, how could she care whether her shoes were wet or not, this forest is a treasure land, her black fungus is almost full of black fungus. I saw some mushrooms and mushrooms, but it's hard to say. Some of them will eat dead people if they are poisoned.
Satisfied, she got out of the woods, and Aunt Lanhua stepped forward and said: ''If you don't come out, I'll go in to find you. You are so brave, you dare to enter the woods, what if you encounter some wild animals? The animals have been hungry all winter, so don't bump into them out for food. ''
The village women on the hillside have already gone back in twos and threes, and there are not many people left. Pei Xiu is grateful for Aunt Lanhua's concern, knowing that they have waited for her specially:" "Auntie, don't worry, I am measured, I didn't go too far, and put the black The fungus came out after picking it. My aunt also brought some back to try it. '' After that, he went to turn over the basket.
Aunt Orchid stopped and said:''''No, no, I don't know if this thing is edible or not, don't eat it, the Widow Zhang's house at the end of the village didn't know that mushrooms were poisonous, and she vomited and diarrhea after eating it, fortunately Just take the medicine. '' She didn't dare to ask for this, and persuaded Pei Xiu not to ask for it.
''Auntie, don't worry, all the ones I pick are non-toxic and really edible, and I don't dare to pick the poisonous ones. ’’ Since Aunt Orchid didn’t want it, she didn’t force it.
Don't look at picking a basket, it's not much after drying. Taking advantage of the spring rainy season, which is just right for it to grow, she picks a little from the mountain from time to time, so that she can eat it for a long time after it's dried.
Datounniang looked at Pei Xiuyi's basket full of black fungus and put all the wild vegetables on it. She didn't see much. She wanted to share her with her. She and her mother-in-law picked a lot, enough for the whole family to eat for a few days.
''No, no, I have enough to eat, this hillside is finished picking, tomorrow I will go to the next one to pick a little bit, you can keep it for yourselves. '' Pei Xiu pushed and shoved, but couldn't hold back the enthusiasm of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so she put it directly in the basket, and she couldn't reach it with her hands on her back. Forget it, go back later and let the hammer send some bean sprouts.
Seeing that it was getting late, the three of them hurried down the mountain and went back.
Zhou Cheng and a few children haven't come back yet, UU reading www. uukanshu.com She poured out the black fungus, washed it, spread it out, and put it in the shade of gout to dry. Take it to the town pharmacy tomorrow and ask, just in case, this era will be different from hers, so be careful.
The temperature has risen recently, and there is no need to burn the kang in the house. She asked Zhou Cheng to move all the wooden boxes out of the house and put them in the yard. The potatoes have not moved out of their nests all winter, and there is very little sunlight. It wasn't big when she got up. She was a little hesitant to open a wooden box to see if there were any small potatoes under it. After all, it had grown for four or five months.
I was also worried that if it was cut open before it had grown, it would be a waste. There were not many seeds. She also has no experience, and hesitantly thought that she should leave it in the sun for a few more days to see if it can last longer.
I don't know how they've opened up wasteland. It's boring to wait for one person to finish cooking. I also went uphill to see it, and it was very close behind the house.
I don't know if I don't see it, but I'm startled when I see it, a few of them have turned into clay figurines. I don't know if they are helping or playing. Pei Xiu takes a bamboo stick and smokes it by one person. A few skin monkeys are not afraid. Playfully dodge.
''They got mud all over their bodies, and asked them to come over to help pick up stones, what kind of play they played. '' Pei Xiu stared at Zhou Cheng, who didn't know how to look at the child, little Zhou Heng rolled through the mud, with some mud all over his body.
Zhou Cheng said helplessly, "It rained last night, and the mountains were full of muddy water. If you accidentally step on it and slip, it will become a mud figurine. This small piece is almost done. Go to the edge tomorrow and open it again. How many seeds do you have, and you need to open it?" How many. ''
Afraid that Pei Xiu would not let go, she quickly changed the subject, knowing that she was thinking about the plants in her wooden boxes and a small bag of unplanted seeds from last year.
