"Mom, look, it's a hare, and there are eggs, eh? What is this?" The eldest sister Chun Yu shouted in surprise, holding a handful of bracken in her hand.
"Feng'er, did you get all these back?" Chunfeng Niang looked at Chunfeng in disbelief.
"Yes, mother, let's eat braised rabbit meat tonight." Chunfeng said to her mother with a smile.
"How can you go into the mountains alone? There are so many wild beasts in the mountains. What if something happens?" After reacting, Chunfeng Niang was not happy because she had meat to eat. Instead, she cursed at Chunfeng anxiously. road. But he still took Chunfeng's hand and inspected Chunfeng's body carefully.
Seeing her mother's nervous expression, Chunfeng felt a warm current in her heart. "Mom, don't worry. I didn't go to the mountains. I'm just somewhere close to the fields. There are people around during the day. There won't be any danger, so don't worry! Okay, okay, let's hurry up and go eat. Yes, my stomach feels flat after being out for a day."
"Oh, okay, there is meat to eat." Seven-year-old Chun Sheng shouted happily as he ran to the kitchen. Although he is seven years old, Xiao Chunsheng looks shorter and much thinner than other children of the same age. It seems that I have to work harder to think of a way to at least feed and clothe them first.
"Sister, let me deal with this rabbit. You go to the field to pick some green onions and ginger. It's best to pick some pepper or pepper leaves." As soon as Chunfeng entered the kitchen, he saw his eldest sister, Chunyu, holding a knife against the rabbit. Not knowing how to start, he walked over and took the knife from the eldest sister's hand and said to the eldest sister.
"Hey, okay, I'll go right away." After handing the knife to Chunfeng, the eldest sister smiled at Chunfeng a little embarrassedly.
It’s not that she doesn’t know how to pack rabbit meat, but that her family has rarely been able to eat meat since she was a child. At most, she can only eat a little bit during the New Year.
There was no way around it. When Father Duan was here, the family only had three acres of thin farmland. After the grain harvested each year was paid to the public rations, the rest was only enough for the family to barely feed themselves, and they had to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables from time to time.
In order to treat his father's illness, he even used the few acres of thin farmland to pay off his debts. The only two thatched huts left in the family were really destitute.
Chunfeng quickly packed up the rabbit meat, chopped it into pieces, and picked up a large handful of bracken to wash and make soup with wild eggs.
"Can this be eaten? Will Feng'er be poisonous? No one has eaten this before." Chunfeng Niang looked at the bracken in her hand and couldn't help but wonder.
"This is called bracken. It's very tender and delicious. There are a lot of them on the mountain. You can pick some and bring them back tomorrow. You can also make them into cold dishes. Mom, you can try it later." said the spring breeze. She cut the washed bracken into sections and said to her mother.
"Really? Why haven't you said this before?" Chunfeng Niang looked at her daughter in surprise. Since she woke up this time, her daughter seemed to have changed a lot, but she couldn't tell where she had changed. I just muttered it to myself.
"Oh, I didn't know before. When I went out to get some fresh air a few days ago, I met an old man from the next village at the entrance of the village. I saw that he was carrying all these baskets, so I asked the old man, and I found out." I should have known it. My family members will ask this question, so I have already thought of the answer.
After all, we are not in the 21st century, and people's ability to accept things is still relatively backward. If you show too much unusualness, you may cause a lot of trouble. It's better to keep a low profile.
