Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 118 Adaptation
A few girls were chatting while picking mushrooms, when suddenly Jing Xian heard a voice behind her and looked back.Just in time, I saw Wen Cheng leading a boy over. The boy was about the same age as Wen Xuan, but he was pretty.It's just that the slightly chubby cheeks ruined the beauty, leaving only the fleshy feeling, which looks very cute. "Brother, who are you taking?" Jingxian asked Wencheng, now that Wencheng has officially adopted the third bedroom, so Jingxian and Jingwan are called elder brothers, not second elder brothers.

"Mingyu said he wanted to get acquainted with the mountain, so I brought him over to have a look." Wen Cheng and Mingyu got along for a while, and felt that this little boy had no airs at all, and he always smiled when he met everyone, which made people feel very good It is comfortable, so I have a good impression of Mingyu. "Mingyu, this is my younger sister, Jingxian, who is one year younger than you. The one next to her is Jinghan, the uncle's daughter, who is two years older than you. You have to call her sister."

Li Mingyu quickly came to Jinghan and bowed to Jinghan, "Mingyu met my sister, thank you for saving my elder brother."

Jing Han intends to ignore him, but it is still a great gift among her peers to greet him as soon as they meet.He laughed quickly, "It's okay to thank you, I didn't help at all. It's my third uncle and second brother who are skilled in medicine, not me."

Mingyu looked up at Jinghan, secretly surprised, it turned out to be such a girl, no wonder the eldest brother has been thinking about it all the time.The woman in front of her is not stunning, but she has a kind of sunshine-like brilliance, which is more distinctive than those gentle ladies.

Jinghan lowered her head and continued to pick mushrooms. Mingyu was also very interested in these things, so she finished her sleeves and wanted to help.

"You'd better go to the side, don't be a waste of help here." Seeing Li Mingyu's clumsy appearance, Jingxian couldn't help but said. "If you pick mushrooms like you do, the ones left are too big, and they will rot and infect the mushroom wood."

Mingyu looked at Jingxian, and saw that Jingxian took a small knife in her hand, and cut down the place where Mingyu picked the mushroom, and got rid of the white stuff left on it. "When picking mushrooms, there should be no residues, and you can't pick too hard to damage the hyphae inside. Otherwise, it will affect the next mushroom production."

Mingyu nodded, "I understand, thank you sister Jingxian."

Jingxian handed the knife she used to Mingyu, "Then, I'll use it for you. Be careful, don't hurt your hand." Jingxian took another knife from Honglian's hand, and continued Go down and pick the mushrooms.

Mingyu has been watching Jingxian's movements very carefully, and then picks mushrooms like Jingxian.Sure enough, after a few times, it looked like it.Jingxian looked back, and couldn't help but to praise, "It's not bad, you learn things very quickly, this job is not difficult, as long as you are careful. You young master can come and follow me It’s really strange that we work together.”

Mingyu ignored the sarcasm in Jingxian's tone, and smiled naively, "My brother told me when I came here, let me experience the hard work of the farm family, so that I won't become a waste who doesn't work hard and doesn't know the five grains .Hehehe, I think this job is not bad, it’s very interesting. Will you ask me to do everything you do in the future? I’m not here to enjoy the blessings, but to take refuge.”

When Jinghan heard that he said that he was taking refuge, she couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.When Li Mingrui was rescued that day, the injuries all over his body were serious enough, and now this little fat man came to Xu's house to take refuge.Although I don't know what kind of family the Li family is, but it is inevitable that the family background is prominent.Looking at it like this, I'm afraid that the person who hurt their brother might not be a member of the Li family, or their brother.Otherwise, why send a 13-year-old child to a farm family who only met once?It must be that the people who hurt them know their loved ones too well and have nowhere else to go.

"You can follow me from now on. It just so happens that my two younger brothers are studying in the town, and no one will help me with the work. If you want to experience the life of a farm family, follow me, and I will let you know." Jinghan couldn't bear it. Stop talking.

"Hey, I'll listen to my sister." The little fat man Ming Yu agreed happily when he heard Jing Han say that.When this little fat man smiles, there will be deep dimples on both cheeks, no matter how cute he looks.

Wen Cheng saw that Mingyu and Jinghan were getting along well, so he left Mingyu here, and he went to help pinch the ginseng seeds. "Jinghan, take Mingyu with you and don't bully him. I'll help you pinch the ginseng seeds. Later, let's go to the river to wash the ginseng seeds. We can catch some fish or crickets."

Jinghan took Mingyu and these girls together, and everyone was still picking mushrooms and fungus there, and when the basket was full, the little fat man carried it to a distant open space, where mats had already been spread, and they poured it up to dry in the sun That's fine.

Fatty Li Mingyu didn't say anything, he could do whatever you told him to do.Back and forth tossing the fungus and mushrooms over there, I was tired and sweated after a while.

Jinghan looked back at Mingyu's appearance, and couldn't help laughing, "Mingyu, you don't have to be so anxious, let's go over there together later, let's take a rest." I haven't done any work, so don't get exhausted all at once.

After hearing this, Mingyu hurriedly found a shady place to sit down, and took out a handkerchief to wipe off his sweat.It happened that Jinghan and the others also stopped, and everyone found a place to sit and rest.Honglian brought the kettle and bowls, and everyone poured a bowl of cold boiled water, "Young Master Li, please drink some water too." Honglian handed the water to Mingyu.

"Thank you sister." Ming Yu was not polite, took the bowl and drank it right away.Now I feel more comfortable. "Sister Jinghan, do you all have to work in this sunny field every day?" Mingyu realized at this time that farmers are really hardworking.

"Yeah, how else can I get so tan?" Jinghan said jokingly.

"Then why doesn't my sister wear a veil? Wouldn't that protect the sun?" Ming Yu asked.

Jinghan smiled, "It's too troublesome. There are branches and such everywhere in the forest. If they can't be fixed, they will be scraped off. Farm girls, how can you be so particular?"

Everyone sat and talked for a while, and then continued to work.Jinghan was afraid that the little fat man would get tired, so she always let him rest after working for a while.

In one morning, everyone picked off all the mushrooms and fungus that should be picked, and Mingyu also dumped all the picked mushrooms and fungus over there to dry in the sun.Seeing that she was almost done, Jing Han led everyone back to rest.

It just so happened that Mrs. Xue and the others had finished cooking, so they asked everyone to wash their hands and eat.At this time, it is still very hot at noon, so the tables are placed in the shed outside.The shed is covered with planks and grass, and there are only a few pillars around it, so eating in a shaded place is more comfortable.

At noon, I ate big rice with water, that is, cooked rice with cold water, so that it tastes cool and refreshing. Northerners like to eat this way in summer.Jinghan thinks it's unhealthy, but everyone eats like this, and no one has anything to do with it, just do as the Romans do, and gradually get used to it.

The dishes at this time are beans, eggplants and the like.On the table, there is a pot of stewed beans with a lot of meat in it, and the other is steamed eggplant, with egg sauce steamed with eggs and miso on the side.Xue's Steamed Egg Sauce is very good, the steamed egg sauce is very tender, and some chopped peppers are put on top, so it is very delicious to eat eggplant with egg sauce.

Xue was afraid that Li Mingyu might not be able to get used to it if he had never eaten rice, so he specially left some dry rice and put it in front of Mingyu. "You may not have eaten our big rice, come and taste it. I will cook some rice for you in the evening, and let's have a meal first." The big rice was soaked in the morning, so it can't be changed temporarily .In addition, the weather was too hot, and Mrs. Xue didn't want to burn more fires, so this was the only meal at noon.

Mingyu picked up the bowl and put the rice into his mouth, "I heard it's delicious, so my aunt doesn't have to cook for me alone, I can get used to it. I didn't come here to enjoy life, so don't bother me." He said, Picked up the chopsticks and picked up some beans, "Well, this dish is not bad, it's freshly picked at home, so it's good to eat." The little fat man ate the beans, and then followed everyone's example, picked up an eggplant, dipped it in I ordered some egg sauce and put it in my mouth. "Yeah, delicious."

Jinghan understands that this little fat man is forgiving everyone.His family background is not ordinary at first glance. Since he was a child, he has not been supported by rich clothes and fine food?I didn't expect to be able to swallow the farm's food when I came here.Just like this, Jinghan's opinion of him has changed a lot, thinking that when she came here, she still had some maladaptation to these meals.Although the conditions are better now, it is still difficult for a child who has never eaten since childhood.

"Mingyu, if you can't eat it, don't eat it. I'll roll out noodles for you in the afternoon. Our family has nothing else, and we can still afford white noodles." Jinghan was afraid that the child would get hurt.

"It's okay, sister, I can eat it. Everyone is the same, and I'm not that delicate." Mingyu ate very deliciously with the bowl in his hand, and kept adding eggplant dipping sauce. "To be honest, I haven't seen eggplant eaten like this. It's delicious."

"Okay, then let's catch crickets in the afternoon and make cricket tofu for you to eat in the evening. I also bring the dock, let's go to dock the fish." There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Jinghan decided to take them to the river to play.

"Is there a river here? Can we catch fish? Crayfish, what is that?" Ming Yu didn't understand what Jing Han was talking about, so he hurriedly asked.

"It's not a river, it's a big river. There are many kinds of fish in this river. When you get up early tomorrow morning, we will take you to see it. Cricket cricket is a delicious food. It can be made into cricket cricket tofu or live in it." Eat, you will know when the time comes." Jing Xian said with a proud face.
