Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 108 The Third Day

Today's lunch is stewed rice. The dish is fern moss picked along the way. After boiling in salt water, add oil and stir-fry, and then cook it with canned braised pork and luncheon meat.

The fern moss has a slippery slime, and if you put a scoop on it to cover the rice in the lunch box, it is the fern moss roasted meat topped with rice, and the taste is also delicious.

It was another dish that was rarely eaten at home, and everyone ate it full of praise.

Before eating, everyone had already played the game of hide-and-seek, and Yan Xiao was already addicted to it: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, come after eating! I thought of a good place to hide bamboo sticks!"

Zhou Zhi felt it was amused: "Although I said that the bamboo stick represents us who have shrunk, isn't it too much for you and Yongmei to drill a hole here? If you find it, you will be caught!"

"That's because he's too thick-skinned!" He Yongmei's expression and tone were seriously out of line, revealing her inner joy long ago.

"That cliff is so dangerous. I want to protect Yongmei. If the enemy comes, I will go up first!" Yan Xiao said so righteously and seriously.

Zhou Zhi looked at the cliff where he played the game just now. To the little bamboo sticks, it can indeed be regarded as a cliff and an abyss.

"You cheated people into substituting a set!" Zhou Zhi couldn't help crying and laughing: "You should write a book!"

I don’t take girls to drill the bamboo forest because the cobwebs in the bamboo forest and the little hairs on the bamboo shoot shells will make people very uncomfortable, and the place where the bamboo shoots grow may be dangerous. After all, everyone loves to eat good food, including wild boar and black bear.

Good bamboo shoots grow best in shady wetlands. There is a saying in Jiachuan called "Yinshan bamboo shoots".

The green bamboo forests are connected to the mountains and grow very densely. It is not only sultry and hot, but also easy to get lost in it, so you can't enter randomly.

The method is to find a road blocking the mountain, get into it and only go uphill, so even if you get lost, just go downhill when you come back, and you will eventually return to the road.

Of course there is no need now, digging bamboo shoots along the way, digging up a small pile, it is a signpost in itself.

But the impenetrable bamboo forest is very humid and hot. In addition to preventing those just now, there is also a very important one-prevention of heatstroke.

Zhou Zhi, Mu Ruyun, and Yang He all brought spring water and golden spirit pills, Rendan, to keep in their mouths at any time.

Shaking the kettle, feeling that he was almost drunk, Zhou Zhi sat on the slope and cut bamboo, cut it into strips, and then started to slide down the mountain.

I tied up the green bamboo shoots in bundles and pushed them down the mountain. When I got out of the woods and returned to the road, my wet shirt was blown by the mountain, and I felt cool all over my body.

After rectifying the harvest at the foot of the mountain, here is forty to fifty catties.

After a while, Mu Ruyun and Yang He also slipped out. Mu Ruyun's weight was six to seventy pounds, and Yang He's weight was about the same.

Although half of the shells are bamboo shoots, they cannot be peeled off, otherwise they will be broken.

"It's a bit too much." Yang He felt sorry: "Where are there so many bamboo shoots in our village..."

"Baimi Township is close to the city, and you can exchange money across the river." Zhou Zhi said, "Not here."

"That's right, the bamboo shoots made into smoke can only be sent to Fubao Town." But Mu Ruyun didn't feel sorry for the specialty of his hometown, and even a little disgusted: "I don't like this very much, it really hurt my heart when I was a child. "

This should be true. Things that can be considered mountain delicacies in the city can only be regarded as home-cooked dishes here. The season of bamboo shoots is almost all the time from morning to night. Sour bamboo shoots, soaked bamboo shoots, fried bamboo shoots in soup...

Zhou Zhi also experienced this kind of life. Master Qiao took him back to his hometown once, and in half a month, he ate all the corn recipes.

Because there were no treats, Wu Yao's father cooked a big pot every morning and placed it on the stove besides making corn in different ways for dinner.

When the children come back from playing wildly, they will pick up and eat if they want to eat; if they can't finish eating, they will feed the pigs at night.

After half a month, Zhou Zhi came out of the mountains and basically stopped touching corn.

When someone asks about Zhou Zhi, he will say: "I have eaten all the corn in my life in half a month."

That would be sad for anyone.

The three of them re-bundled the bamboo shoots again, cut a few thick bamboo tubes to use as poles, and picked the bamboo shoots back.

When I came back, I found that a large area of ​​moss had been picked off the side of the cliff with heavy moisture.

That was Yan Xiao's masterpiece.

Everyone hid the bamboo sticks in the moss, but Yan Xiao acted like a cat and scraped off the whole moss, and filled the remaining small holes with small stones.

Because if you can't find yourself, you are considered a loser. In just 2 minutes, Yan Xiao wiped out all the people who hid.

This is crazy killing, and even this large-scale inhumane killing method has been used.

When they got back to the cliff, the first thing the three of them did was to take off their clothes until only their underwear was left. They hid behind the water tank and poured water on themselves. That's how to relax.

Where the flesh was exposed in the bamboo forest, except for the good spots on the face, there were red scars drawn by bamboo branches everywhere.

Then I went to look for dry clothes and went to the back of the cliff to change, and came back to start peeling bamboo shoots.

"You have done a lot!" The pile of more than 100 catties of fresh bamboo shoots is still very spectacular, and everyone has been watching for a while.

"What's wrong with your hands?" Jiang Shuyi found the scratches on Zhou Zhi's wrist and neck, and asked worriedly.

"It's okay, it will be ready tomorrow." Zhou Zhi didn't think it was worthless at all, and said with a smile, "I've been memorizing the canned braised beef until now, isn't it just for this one bite?"

But this dinner is indeed commendable. Although it was only one dish, Feng Xueshan used all the leftover oil and made it into a big pot of fresh beef together with all the stewed beef. Braised beef with bamboo shoots.

This is for two meals. I don’t think there will be any beef left, but tonight, put the leftover soup in the water tank on ice. There will be a beef noodle soup tomorrow morning.

The rice and noodles that Zhou Zhi asked everyone to prepare were a little redundant, and they could be eaten open tonight, so after dinner, everyone realized... Uh, it seems to be full.

Tonight was the most comfortable night, mainly because it was very dry here. Before going to sleep, Zhou Zhi propped up the tarpaulin to block the side of the wind, so that everyone could sleep more comfortably.

After a comfortable night's sleep, and after eating the last noodles the next day, everyone started to walk back to the road and head towards the forest farm.

This is the last section of the road. When we get here, the scenery finally turns into a real virgin forest.

Artificial forests and natural forests intersect each other. Every time you walk through a section of strange trees and vines full of primitive features, you will enter a pine or fir forest.

When they got here, Mu Ruyun left the road taken by the forest farm car, and led everyone to cross the path.

The forest floor is thick with needles, and fallen dry pine cones are everywhere.

Squirrels, painted magpies, turtledoves, and wild thrushes are everywhere. At the beginning, everyone was pleasantly surprised, but later they were no longer interested.

"What's that?!" A group of birds flew over, some of them were white, and together with other blue-headed and brown-bodied ones, they dragged their long tails, which made Zhang Xinyi very excited: "It's so beautiful! "

"That's called a flower. We call them a flower here. I don't know the scientific name." Mu Ruyun asked, "Do you know the elbow?"

"This bird is often seen in Chinese paintings, the ribbon bird." Zhou Zhi also saw a live ribbon bird for the first time, and he looked at it intently: "It is often together with peonies, which means longevity and wealth. We are very lucky to see them."

After finishing speaking, he continued: "I thought their tails wouldn't bend too much just looking at the painting, but it turns out they can float beautifully!"

After walking for a while, the front suddenly became clear, and everyone returned to the road, only to find that this is a valley in the middle of the mountain.

The forest farm management office is located in the col. In addition to the blue-tiled houses made of brick, stone and wood, there is also a parking lot, a work shed, and corn and vegetable fields.

A truck drove down head-on, and the truck was full of high piles of wood. Everything made the friends from the city feel very novel.

"Ruyun is back? Just now your mother came out to see it." The driver tapped the brakes on the side of the road: "Oh, so many classmates? Welcome! Lao Mu cooked all the bacon, and your bamboo shoots can be regarded as the arrival Be in time!"

"Uncle Qiu sent wood?!" Mu Ruyun greeted the driver: "We came from Dazhangkou, where we stayed last night!"

"Hurry up and take your classmates back!" Uncle Qiu said hello, only to find that Ye Xin was also in the crowd: "Yo Xinxin is coming to our mountain for the first time, right? Then it's settled, wait for me to come back to drink tonight!"

Ye Xin smiled and said, "Hello, Uncle Qiu, then come back early."

The big truck drove away, and Zhou Zhi asked Mu Ruyun, "Do they call your father Lao Mu?"

"what."

This shit...Zhou Zhi quickly greeted his classmates: "I will call Lao Mu Ruyun for a while, and his father is also Lao Mu! Don't be called impolite by others, thinking we are calling Lao Mu his father!"

"You made a mistake!" Yan Xiao immediately corrected: "You just said about Lao Mu's father!"

"Okay, okay, you're the best..." Zhou Zhi didn't bother to follow the guy: "It's really hard to change your mouth at this moment...Anyway, everyone just pays attention."

There were very few outsiders in the forest farm, but this time around a dozen children came, and everyone around them came out to greet them with unusual enthusiasm.

Such a situation may not be seen after a period of time.

"Dad! Mom! I brought my classmates back!"

"Welcome, welcome!" Mu Ruyun's father looked like a muscular and strong man, with big steps, a cloth military cap on his head, and a military demeanor in his gestures, and walked forward with a smile: " Visitors to the forest farm are rare, everyone is very rare!"

This rare, pronounced "rare horizontal", the pronunciation of "rare" is very close to Cantonese.

He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Fang Wenyu first, and patted his shoulder with his big hand: "Hello, young man, your old man is from the army, right?"

"Hello, Uncle Mu, my name is Fang Wenyu, and I'm from the Armed Forces Department of my family."

"Look, I can't be wrong!" Papa Mu laughed heartily: "Old Fang's children are already this old!"

"Uncle Mu knows my father?"

"That's necessary. We served in Songpan together. I changed jobs a few years before him. Back then, I ate grouse stewed with mushrooms in a pot!"

"There is also soft-shelled turtle. My dad still can't forget the taste."

"That's it!" Papa Mu was overjoyed: "It's really unexpected that among Da Man's classmates, there is also the son of an old friend. Let's go, let's talk at home."

Zhou Zhi and Yan Xiao glanced at each other, Lao Mu's nickname has changed!
