The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 117 Picking Mushrooms

In reality, all she can see is pork, the parts of pigs, and fish. They are just common fish, chicken and pheasant. That’s all. There are no ducks and geese, ordinary vegetables, and nothing else... I don't have it...

For the first time, I realized that there is a huge difference between reality and ideals. At least [-]% of the food in the first floor of the God of Cookery Tower has no ingredients. She cultivated the second level of the ass? !

Depressed, she carried a basket of vegetables and fruits to the kitchen, and now the orchard in the space has produced a lot of fruit, and there is no shortage of these at home...

She occasionally said that it was bought, and the family didn't think much about it. Dabao was honest and believed in her very much. The second treasure and the third treasure always listened to her. Not to mention Xiao Hua, only the Four Treasures...

He would frown from time to time, look deeply and contemplate, wondering where these things came from.

Although spring is here, there may be these things, but he hasn't seen many of them when he goes to the city every day, and they are expensive, and their appearance is not as good as the ones at home after a long journey, but she rarely goes to the city...why? There are these things, so Sibao always suspects that she is a monster, and it is not unfounded.

Although he looked at her from time to time, he was bored in his heart and dared not speak, nor could he speak.

Although this girl oppressed him and made him very depressed, she didn't do anything heinous, so he knew the serious consequences of speaking out, so he didn't mention it at all, and just whispered a few words in his heart to settle the matter.

Although Shen Sisi often teased him, threatened him, scrutinized him, and plotted against him... But Sibao is not a person with a bad heart, and he would not really take revenge on her to do such a thing.

Therefore, not to mention the Four Treasures, the family is extremely harmonious.As for Tian osmanthus who came here occasionally, Shen Sisi had never given her any fruit to eat, and it was even more impossible for Tian osmanthus to think deeply...

So now Shen Sisi took it out without any pressure, and the family got used to it, and didn't think about it at all.

She cut a plate of fruit and sat in the yard to eat, and let Niu Xiaohua wash the vegetables, and she was going to cook them at night.

Niu Xiaohua smiled and said, "It's really rare that these vegetables are still so fresh, and the taste is better than the ones grown at home. It's so strange, wouldn't it be good to put them in the cellar?!"

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "What's so strange?!"

After speaking, he handed her a piece of apple flesh, and Niu Xiaohua ate it, saying: "This fruit is also fragrant, crisp and sweet, so delicious..."

"That's right, this is not produced here, it's brought from other places..." Shen Sisi said with a smile: "And this vegetable, I heard that rich people have greenhouses now, and they can grow vegetables in winter, so this vegetable It wasn't stored in the cellar for several months, but it was fresh..."

Niu Xiaohua was taken aback, and said, "Isn't that very expensive?!"

The ones made by rich people must be very expensive, and how much does it cost to make a greenhouse in winter just to keep it warm? !
Shen Sisi smiled and said: "What's the point? Next year I will build a greenhouse to grow vegetables, and we will have vegetables to eat in winter. Building one by ourselves will save more money than buying these vegetables..."

Niu Xiaohua continued to wash the vegetables, but she didn't doubt her words. She knew that the family was making money, so she just smiled and said, "Tu Niu, can you do it too?!"

Shen Sisi frowned and said: "I'm not very good at it, but you can still try it. If it doesn't work, there is nothing you can do, but people who only eat Chinese cabbage, tofu and sauerkraut can't bear it in winter." , it would be great if there were fresh vegetables to eat. Winter is so long..."

After all, here is close to the border town. The time of spring and autumn in a day is very short, and it is fleeting. Most of the time is summer and winter. .

But she is used to it.It's just that the appetite must be satisfied.

While eating the fruit, she chatted with Niu Xiaohua. After Niu Xiaohua washed the vegetables, the sky darkened, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

Niu Xiaohua was overjoyed, and said: "Tu Niu, the spring rain is here, let's go up the mountain to pick mushrooms tomorrow, and the spring mushrooms have come out..."

Shen Sisi's heart moved, and he said: "Yes, the tops of bamboo shoots will probably emerge tomorrow, and we still need to dig some tops of bamboo shoots..."

But the rest of the family is busy, so I guess I don't have time to do this.

Even the two of them have limited collections.However, because the quantity of this thing is not picked, the children in the village seldom sell it, and they keep it for their own food, and they don't think of selling it.

Shen Sisi had an idea, nodded and said: "We'll pick some up early tomorrow morning and make chicken soup..."

Niu Xiaohua nodded, knowing that Shen Sisi likes to eat chickens very much, but there are only two old hens left in the chickens at home after a whole winter, she said: "I will kill another one tomorrow, and only one chicken will be left to lay eggs." , there are no eggs at home, you can buy something to eat..."

"Well, just buy it in the village. It's not expensive. You can buy two eggs for one penny..." Shen Sisi smiled and said, I really think the things here are really not expensive. You can buy two native eggs for one penny. Good deal.

"I want to ask dad to buy some chickens from the city one day and come back to watch. Anyway, the family is big, and it is not worthwhile to buy chickens to eat in the future. Buy more and raise them in the backyard. The place is big, and the chickens have a place to eat. Just feed some millet, and there are chickens at home, Tu girl, what do you think..." Niu Xiaohua said in a low voice.

"Success..." Shen Sisi was naturally happy, anyway, the chicken coop was built big, and the family was taken care of, so naturally he was willing to eat his own.

Niu Xiaohua thought for a while and then smiled: "I'm afraid it's not easy to buy chickens, how about I buy some eggs for the old hen to nest?! Anyway, I will kill one tomorrow, and I will have another one at home."

Shen Sisi nodded with a smile, and said, "You can figure it out, are you going now?! I'll give you money..."

Niu Xiaohua quickly waved her hands, and said with a smile, "Eggs are not expensive, and I still have some money to sell embroidery work. If not, I'll ask you for it..."

Shen Sisi also regarded her as his own family, so he was no longer polite to her.

Niu Xiaohua is also very free now, so she carried a bamboo basket with money and went out.

There are a lot of eggs at home in the village, and they have saved up for the winter, and there are quite a few at home. Niu Xiaohua picked some and bought some, and the villagers are all happy, which saves a trip to the city.

After returning home, she smiled and said, "I bought two hundred eggs, twenty of them are eggs that can nest chickens, and there are 180 eggs for the family to keep for food. If there are not enough, I will buy again..."

Shen Sisi sighed inwardly, [-] eggs cost only [-] Wen, which is really cheap... In modern times, a native egg costs more than [-] yuan, which is still the cheapest, and there are often fake foreign eggs used as native eggs It's a shame to sell it.

She smiled and said, "Egg soup tonight..."

Anyway, there are still tomatoes in the kitchen, let’s make egg soup to eat, but this is the first time she has taken out this tomato, and she has to let her family accept it at night. Plant some in the ground, it's a good thing.

Niu Xiaohua went to pick out twenty eggs and put them in the chicken coop. It didn't matter which hen was holding the nest, and the other hen would be killed and stewed in chicken soup tomorrow.

As soon as she finished it, it started to rain outside, but the rain was very light, drizzle, moistening things silently, but it only took a while and the sky was sunny again, but the villagers were very happy, because this represented spring coming.

I hope it will be a good year again, and there will be no more droughts.

This is a border town, and floods are rare, and droughts generally occur once every ten years, and sometimes it really tosses and some poor families are ruined.

Therefore, when the Chinese New Year comes, people here will pray for blessings, and when spring comes, the villagers will pray even more, and some will go to the earth temple to pray for good weather.

In this day and age, this is the most simple hope of all farmers.

Zhong Gensheng came back with the hoe on his shoulders, but his face was full of joy. Although his body was a little wet, it was only a little wet. He smiled and said, "I thought it would take a long time, but I ran back again, but it stopped again." Well, well, I'll go to the field again..."

"Father, change your clothes before you go..." Shen Sisi whispered.

"No, it's not wet, I'll go again, in case it has to rain after a while, I have to finish sowing the seeds before it rains..." Zhong Gensheng turned back happily.

Shen Sisi was quite helpless and had no choice but to let him go.

But when Shen Si thought of something, she followed her out. She usually doesn't play with the children in the village very much, but because of her authority, dominance, and the frequent discussions of adults, many people envy her and admire her. I want to play with her, but it’s just that Shen Sisi has never paid attention to her. These children are very envious of Er Gouzi and they follow Shen Sisi to make money. Although they often send some pigweed to Zhong’s family, it’s just a small amount of money. It only costs two cents a day to dig two baskets, but Er Gouzi and the others can now earn fifty cents a day, and it’s only half a day without being tired. They can sometimes cut their hands when weeding.

Therefore, these children want to contact Shen Sisi, want to find some work, but they can't get in touch. This time, when she came to find them, all the children looked at her with longing eyes, and Shen Sisi felt pressured. Da, especially the eyes of these little radish heads, really made her speechless. After a pause, she smiled and said: "...Let me tell everyone that our family wants to collect mushrooms and spring bamboo shoots. If you have free time, go Digging from the back of the mountain, digging to our house, as long as the bamboo shoots are not old, and the mushrooms are not poisonous mushrooms, they will all be collected. Five cents a catty for mushrooms, and two cents for bamboo shoots. How about paying your traveling expenses?!"

The children here pick them every year, so there is no need to worry that they don't know poisonous mushrooms.Shen Sisi squinted her eyes, two cents a catty is really cheap, she doesn't want to sell it, she wants to pick it back to her home and dry it for herself to eat, the back mountain is actually not that big, there isn't much after picking it , unless it rains a lot...

Wild mushrooms are really good things. In modern times, they are all cultivated and very expensive. Naturally, they are not as delicious as here. She has also eaten the ones picked by Dabao and the others in previous years. The taste is really nothing to say.

Not to mention the bamboo shoots, they are tender and crunchy, whether they are stir-fried or stewed, they can be marinated and eaten, or dried and stewed. There are various ways to eat them.Thinking of it, Shen Sisi was drooling.

The little eyes of all the children lit up, they stared at Shen Sisi pitifully, and said, "Really?! We'll pick them tomorrow..."

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "But everyone, please pay attention to safety, don't go too deep, there are old wolves in the mountains..."

"Yeah, we are picking on the side of the mountain. There are a lot of mushrooms and bamboo shoots on the side of the mountain..." The children couldn't keep it anymore, so they asked a few more words, and then they went home excitedly and told the adults. .

But today, no bamboo shoots and mushrooms came out. I guess it will rain tonight, and tomorrow they will all come to the fore...

Seeing them go, Shen Sisi stood up and went home with joy.
