It didn't take long to catch many.
As soon as Lian Fangzhou looked up at the shore, he smiled and called Lian Ze: "Oh, enough is enough! We won't be able to take any more! Let's come again tomorrow! Come and catch it!"
Even Ze thought about it, there are many mushrooms in the forest! Moreover, they haven't gone to other places to go around yet, and when they go around, there must be more mushrooms... So, they will definitely come again.
At this time, Lian Fangzhou didn't need to talk about it, even Lian Ze couldn't bear to come.
People are often afraid of the unknown, but when they have seen it with their own eyes, they will know that it is nothing more than that. This is exactly what Lian Ze felt at the moment.
"Sister, there are wild plantains over there. I'll pick some leaves and wrap these shrimps!" Lian Ze pointed at the stream.
Lian Fangzhou followed his directions, and sure enough, he saw a cluster of four or five tall and low wild plantains growing not far in front of him. They were not very tall, only about two meters long. Then he smiled and said: "Then you go, I will pack up these shrimps!"
For a while, Lian Ze picked the plantain leaves, and the two wrapped up the caught fresh shrimps. Lian Fangzhou weighed them, and they weighed about two or three catties. He smiled and said, "It's a pity, if only it was convenient to carry a bucket!"
So far, obviously impossible.
But now she is not qualified to be picky about live or dead shrimp. Besides, the wild prawns in this mountain must taste good even if they are brought back from such a long distance, right
"Barrel? How can that work! It's so bulky!" Lian Ze said with his eyes wide open in surprise, startled by his sister's proposal!
Lian Fangzhou was taken aback, and then remembered that there are no lightweight plastic buckets in this era, and there are wooden buckets at home, which are not bulky!
Imagining walking down the road with a wooden barrel, she couldn't hold back her laughter, and said with a smile: "It's my sister who is confused! Look at what she said!"
Lian Ze also laughed, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, scratching his head and laughing: "My sister scared me!"
At this time, the sun was just past noon, and it was still a long time before Sun Changxing said he would return. Before leaving, he said that there was a wild jujube forest not far from the east, which bore many fruits, and that there was another jujube forest near the north edge of the jujube forest. A piece of yam vine, they can pick some dates, dig some yams, light a fire and roast them to satisfy their hunger.
The two rested for a while, then went to the place Sun Changxing pointed out.
Sure enough, there were 20 or 30 wild jujube trees in that piece of wild jujube forest, some of which were still young and did not bear fruit.
As soon as I arrived at the edge of the forest, I smelled a faint fresh jujube fragrance.
"So many dates!" Lian Ze was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick out the big and red ones and picked several, then ran over and handed them to Lian Fangzhou, and said with a smile: "Sister!"
Lian Fangzhou took it with a smile, wiped it with his hands casually, and took a bite. The taste was crisp, sweet and juicy, and he nodded and smiled at him, "It tastes really good!"
"Let's pick some and take them home! Qing'er and Che'er must like them too!" Lian Ze said with a smile. Whatever was good, he never forgot those two little ones.
Lian Fangzhou naturally had no objection, he just smiled and said: "Let's bring less today, we will come again tomorrow anyway!"
Lian Ze was taken aback: "Are you still coming tomorrow?"
"Of course!" Lian Fangzhou nodded without hesitation, and said with a smile: "Anyway, we already know the way, and we will come tomorrow by ourselves, and it doesn't have to be so early, we can go back after picking the mushrooms! Take advantage of the good weather these days , let’s pick a lot of mushrooms, take them home and dry them in the sun, not only can we keep some for cooking, but we can also sell them for a few dollars to subsidize the family!”
I can't help but spend the ten taels of silver I got from retiring the marriage. I have already used up some of the roof repairs, and there are still many things to buy!
"Sister said yes!" Lian Ze nodded.
The jujube tree was full of fruits, which weighed heavily on the branches. The siblings picked and ate while talking, and soon they didn't feel hungry.
But this jujube can only be used to satisfy hunger for a while, but it can't last too long. The journey back is not far away, and I have to pick two bags of mushrooms, which is physical work.
So Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze still found the yam and dug a few.
This is a real wild yam, which grows flat and twisted in some places - it should have turned a corner when it encountered a hard rock when growing.
Each one is about two or three fingers wide, the long one is half an arm long, and the short one is only one palm, which is not neat or regular.
However, it tastes really good when cooked.
Break it off, and the hot aroma will come to your face, the inside is as white as snow, and it will make your mouth feel pink and glutinous, which will make you appetite.
Not to mention Lian Fangzhou—this is an authentic natural wild green food, and Lian Ze is full of praise for eating it.
Then the two inevitably dug three or four roots, washed them with water, wrapped them in leaves, and took them home to cook and eat.
After eating and drinking enough, seeing that it was almost time, the two of them didn't go anywhere. They had to rest and maintain their strength, so they picked a place with sunshine to sit down and have a rest.
The autumn afternoon sun shone warmly on the body, and the autumn wind blew past from time to time, making the rustling sound of blowing leaves. Both of them were a little tired, and they fell asleep unconsciously until they were woken up by Sun Changxing.
The two rubbed their eyes and laughed, and greeted Sun Changxing a few words. Seeing a bunch of pheasants with colorful feathers hanging on Sun Changxing's shoulders, and two fat hares, the two couldn't help it. They were all very envious and said with a smile, "Uncle Sun has gained a lot today!"
Who knew that Sun Changxing smiled wryly, and sighed softly, "They're all small things, worthless!"
"Isn't this worth the money! How could it be!" Lian Ze said in surprise.
Sun Changxing just laughed again, and said, "Our place is not close to the county seat, otherwise there would be plenty of restaurants in the county seat, so of course we wouldn't have to worry about selling it! So we can only sell it to Landlord Zhou, Yuanwai Zhu, Master Zhao, etc. Several big families, they all know that no one will buy them except them, and it’s not worth it for me to keep them for food, so the price they give is not high! Unless you hunt mountain otters, gray minks, squirrels, muntjacs, etc., there will be more fur It’s worth a few dollars, or even a big goat or wild boar can be exchanged for a few more dollars! Of course, such luck is rare.”
When Sun Changxing said these words, he looked slightly annoyed, and Lian Fangzhou knew that he was telling the truth, and he was not trying to perfunctory the siblings, nor was he pretending to complain with self-satisfaction.
Originally, Lian Fangzhou was still a little puzzled: such a large forest is equivalent to an endless treasure house. Why is Sun Changxing still so poor after hunting around here for so many years
Today she finally understood.
He doesn't know the treasures of the mountains, but only knows how to hunt, so half of the treasure has been lost.
And hunting skills alone are not enough, luck and time are needed.
If you don't encounter valuable prey, you won't gain much, but most of the large beasts live in the depths of the forest. Even if Sun Changxing is good at archery, he dare not go alone.
And this forest is so big and full of countless dangers—especially at night, so he can only come in the morning and go back in the afternoon. With such a short time, how much chance do you have to hunt valuable things? Many hunters go to the mountains to hunt, but they toss in the mountains for several days, even more than ten days.
No wonder he was rushing out before dawn. It's just that the time that can be bought in this way is actually a little bit more, and the utility is almost equal to zero.
Thinking about it this way, even Fangzhou figured it out.
She couldn't help giving Sun Changxing a sympathetic look.
Sun Changxing's eyes happened to glance over inadvertently, and happened to meet Lian Fangzhou's eyes. He couldn't help being startled, and immediately turned his eyes away, feeling a little unhappy in his heart: asking a little girl to sympathize, he doesn't seem to be confused. Is that bad
