Chapter 362: Picking Mountain Goods

Here the children gathered pheasants and hares and put them beside a pile of baskets and sacks, and ran to pick wild fruits with joy.

Seeing this, Kuroko and Xiao Hei, who had just come back from exploring the surrounding situation, were even more unwilling to be lonely, and shouted excitedly for a while, following closely behind.

The two sisters Ye Xiuhe and Ye Xiaofeng smiled when they saw this, but they didn't stop it anymore, and shouted not to run far, while the two of them dragged a few sacks and took a stick and walked to the bushes.

When it comes to picking mountain goods, not all mountain goods grown on the mountains can be exchanged for money at the purchasing station. Nuts such as pine nuts, hazelnuts, and pecans, as well as mushrooms, are usually used to dry them.

In addition, it is the medicinal materials, and the state-owned purchasing station will announce the types of purchases every year, and the medicinal materials in this range can be exchanged for money and tickets.

Conditions are limited, so many wild fruits such as yuan dates, apricots, wild persimmons and mountain grapes, which are not easy to store, have become rare snacks for children.

Unlike the children, most of the women in charge of the family are focused on how to make ends meet, and the sisters first set their eyes on mushrooms.

Spring grows, summer grows, autumn harvests, and winter storage. Even Guan Ping'an understands this truth, and now is the best time to harvest mushrooms such as fungus and mushrooms.

Ye Xiuhe held a wooden stick in one hand and held her daughter's little hand in the other, "Let's go, my mother said that I will take you to pick mushrooms, this trip can be regarded as doing what she says." ”

Ye Xiaofeng picked up the two baskets with a smile, "I just want you to pull An An, why don't you let her play with those wild boys." Look at the road. ”

Guan Ping'an said yes obediently, and dragged his small back basket on the ground by the way.

As soon as I approached the forest in front of me with a mixture of pine and oak trees, I don't know if it was inaccessible to people, or because of a rain the day before, which made the glade and dead branches and trees overgrown with all kinds of fungi.

The two women waved the wooden sticks in their hands and pulled the weeds in front of them to drive away the snakes and insects in front of them, not just in case.

When Ye Xiaofeng was pulling weeds, he saw the acorns that fell to the ground, and couldn't help but sigh, "Fortunately, I drove away the little devil, and my grandfather died on it." ”

When the oak tree reaches autumn, the fruit is acorn, and the acorn flour is ground into powder. It's a pity that this thing is not easy to digest, and I can't pull out after eating too much.

In fact, not only a few years ago, but now I still see it, and I can fill my stomach with a little bit of food, and I can even make acorn tofu.

However, Ye Xiaofeng's grandfather is different, when the little devil invaded the Northeast at that time, he caught a large number of ordinary people either into the mine or the forest, and the food they were given was acorn noodles.

Many people either starved to death, or ate too much acorn noodles for a few days and couldn't pull out and died, and her grandfather was one of them.

Guan Ping'an had heard the old man talk about the ancients, and at this moment he blinked when he heard the words, watching her Aunt Feng curse the little devil while not forgetting to throw it into the back basket.

Those who raise pigs must be used to raise pigs.

"This is a red mushroom, it looks like an umbrella, the color is purple, isn't it easy to recognize? That small piece is a sticky mushroom, slimy ......"

Guan Ping'an stepped on the mushroom with a small hand, nodded with a smile, and came from time to time to say a few words to your mother, you are so good, you understand everything.

Ye Xiaofeng rolled her eyes speechlessly, making her embarrassed. Did the two of them forget that even she had eaten the red mushrooms picked by her niece herself?

"Auntie, look, there are a lot of fungus next to you. ”

"It's really fungus. Look, this fungus is good, big and watery, and it still grows on the roots of dead trees, so it is not poisonous. If you change it to the ground, you can't eat it, you know?"

Guan Ping'an nodded happily.

"What about us, I picked it this time, and I can come back next time, it will be long. Not only the fungus, but also the mushrooms, let's pick them now, and they will still grow in that place when we turn around. ”

Guan Ping'an was very supportive: "Auntie, you are so good, you know everything." ”

Ye Xiaofeng laughed loudly.

Ye Xiuhe looked at her cousin funny, she was deceived by my daughter, do you know?

The dead tree that fell for some reason, the body of the tree is huge, and the heart of the tree is already empty.

It must have been hollowed out by moths, and clusters of black and shiny fungus on the trunk of the tree were blooming proudly like inky flowers.

The fungus on this dead wood alone was enough to fill half a large back basket, and Guan Ping'an immediately ran back to the place outside the forest where the sacks and baskets were piled up.

As a result, when she saw her father, she immediately burst out happy. These two people are really unreliable, they actually pick grapes and pick them, you throw me a grain, I throw you one.

It's not as sensible as her brother.

Look......

Her brother tasted the taste of wild fruits and began to instruct his friends to dig herbs. However, why are their children so obsessed with money?

Ye Xiuhe and Ye Xiaofeng, both sisters, are quick workers.

No, Guan Ping'an dragged out a basket of mushrooms and fungus and fell to the clearing on the hillside, and they quickly walked to the second target on the left side of the forest.

Hazelnut.

- Clusters and clusters of hazelnut trees are densely packed, and there are purring fruits on them, which are mountain hazelnuts.

Picking hazelnuts is not an easy task, there are many tricks in it, and many times even if there is fruit, the kernels inside are empty, so you have to smash a few first.

Guan Ping'an saw that they knocked one off with a wooden stick, so he smashed it open first to see...... Only then did she suddenly realize how much advantage she had taken advantage of with cheats.

At the same time, she didn't like to point with her little hand: Mother, this is all benevolent, aunt, the kernels in that piece are full, you just have to smash them with a stick!

Seeing the two of them smash one by one, smashing with a burst of laughter, enjoying it, she is even more difficult to lose, let's play, just have fun.

Time flies in the blink of an eye in the non-stop picking of the group.

Although they brought dry food with them when they went out early in the morning, the two pigs at home still had to be served, not to mention that the sacks they brought were about to be filled.

Guan Youshou and Ma Zhenzhong looked at the mountain goods piled up on the open space on the hillside, and after discussing it, they had to cross and transport them back first, otherwise they really couldn't bring them back.

This time, Guan Youshou and his family each carried a load of things back, and Guan Ping'an didn't dare to say much, so he had to bury the pot and cook first.

Unlike the hard work of the adults, a few children can be regarded as crazy, not to mention all kinds of mountain fruits, as well as herbs all over the mountains.

"God, let's just say it, come here during the day and go back to tidy up at night. ”

"Just the four of us, will the adults agree?"

"No problem, there are sunspots by our side, as long as we don't go anywhere else, it should be fine. God bless, you say yes, right?"

Guan Tianyou nodded when he heard this, "What do you think of calling Brother Tie Dan and Sister Wuya? Brother Tie Dan can use both hands, and Sister Wuya knows a lot." ”

"Call Ma Xiaoshuan too, he understands herbal medicine, maybe there is something we have missed. ”

"Call Brother Zhijun too, he is tall and strong, and he can carry a lot of things. ”
