The salted fish life of the lucky wife

Chapter 419 419

Qi Chunni hung the basket on her chest, and carefully put the plucked red bayberry into the basket.

Fortunately, they were more prepared when they went out today. Not only did they put a basket in the back basket, but also a burlap bag. They also thought that if they encountered other good things when they went up the mountain, they would have something to pack.

The red bayberry is delicate and easily damaged, so it can only be placed in a bamboo basket. For this reason, Qin Tianru specially spread several layers of leaves in the basket.

In the end, the three of them picked two full baskets of red bayberries, which together weighed at least 30 catties, enough for them to eat.

Qi Qing couldn't help but twisted another red bayberry in the basket and put it in her mouth, and asked casually, "Sister-in-law, shall we go back?"

Qin Tianru said, "Let's go shopping again, it's rare to go up the mountain once."

"Okay." Qi Qing has no objection at all, anyway, following her sister-in-law up the mountain won't hurt her.

Qi Chunni thought they wanted to pick wild vegetables, so she couldn't help but talk about the recent situation in the mountains.

"During this period of time, the wild vegetables that can be eaten in the mountains have basically been picked bald. Before everyone picked wild vegetables, there was an unclear rule, that is, the wild vegetables that just emerged were not picked, and they could not be uprooted. We had to wait for the wild vegetables Grow up and reproduce more wild vegetables to be harvested.

But recently, I don’t know which family did the wicked thing. Many wild vegetables were pulled out as soon as they sprouted. Before long, the whole mountain will be bald. "

Qi Qing said angrily, "No wonder when we went up the mountain just now, we saw many places were bare."

Even a person like her who doesn't understand farming knows that if all the wild vegetables on the mountain are uprooted, it is equivalent to completely eradicating the roots, and I am afraid that new wild vegetable seedlings will not be able to grow in the future.

This undoubtedly cut off the livelihood of the villagers, leaving everyone without wild vegetables to eat in the future.

This kind of person is really abominable, for the sake of the momentary gluttony, even the future way of life is cut off.

"Hey, there is no way to do this, it's all for one bite."

Qi Chunni felt a little emotional. During this time, the adults in the village were all busy, and the task of picking wild vegetables up the mountain to find food was left to the children at home.

Those children are all seven or eight years old, and they are in their teens. How can they think so much, and they will go home when they see something that can be eaten.

Qin Tianru listened quietly, with a thoughtful expression.

"Let's go, let's go shopping casually, maybe we will be lucky today."

Hearing her sister-in-law's words, Qi Qing agreed and trusted her incomparably, "That's right, maybe we can have an unexpected harvest today."

"Ok."

Qi Chunni has no objection. Their family has been better off recently, and they still have some food in storage, so they don't have to live in such a tight situation like other families.

Ever since her father was taken away, her mother was also intimidated by her grandfather, for fear that her grandfather would decide to divorce her and return her to her natal family. Now her mother shrank at home in fear and did not go out.

Moreover, the grandfather also handed over the rations distributed to their family to himself for safekeeping. With the support of his grandfather, her mother dared not beat the two sisters at will, except for cursing in private.

During this period of time, she was in charge of cooking, and some time ago, Auntie also taught the two sisters to pickle vegetables, so the life of the two sisters is actually better than before.

From the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, there were almost no wild vegetables, but it was easy for Qin Tianru to find one.

The mountain is so big, and the range of activities of the villagers is also limited, and there are many hidden corners that they can't even notice.

During this period of time, most of the family eats dry or pickled food, and it is indeed time to change to fresh tastes.

"Sister-in-law, isn't the road we're going a bit off?"

Qi Chunni often runs all over the mountains, and she has a certain understanding of the terrain in the mountains. Now seeing that the route her sister-in-law took them has gradually deviated from their usual range of activities, she can't help feeling a little worried.

Before Qin Tianru had time to answer, Qi Qing was the first to speak.

"Chunni, don't worry, my sister-in-law is taking us the right way, we just follow her."

Seemingly worried that Chunni would not believe her, Qi Qing took the trouble to add.

"Let me tell you, my sister-in-law is familiar with the terrain in the mountains, she won't go the wrong way, and my sister-in-law is very lucky, so you can just follow along with peace of mind."

"it is good."

Qi Chunni didn't express anymore, she was worried about their safety, but seeing that they all looked calm and carefree, she had nothing to worry about.

Soon, Qin Tianru stopped at one place, and she pointed out, "Look, what is that?"

Qi Qing looked puzzled again, in front of her eyes was a large piece of green leaves, the only difference was that these green leaves grew on vines, and these vines grew crawling.

"Is this a pumpkin vine?"

Qi Chunni leaned forward to take a look, and suddenly exclaimed, she immediately walked to the vine, and checked carefully to confirm.

"Sister-in-law, this is a pumpkin vine."

Qi Chunni was very pleasantly surprised, how many pumpkins will be produced by such a wild pumpkin vine, this pumpkin is a good thing.

Qi Qing asked in confusion, "Is this edible?"

"Sister Xiaoqing, the pumpkin tip is edible." Qi Chunni replied excitedly, and even pointed at the pumpkin tip to Qi Qing.

"Ah? How do you eat this?" Qi Qing looked at the handful of slightly curly buds on the tip of the vine, a little confused.

Qi Chunni happily explained, "This pumpkin tip can be eaten stir-fried or cold, and it can also be made into soup. It is similar to the method of other vegetable leaves, and it can also be used as a dish."

This way of eating was told to her by her grandmother when she was alive a few years ago, saying that their life was hard and they dared to eat anything, so they found a lot of food.

"Really? Then let's pick some and go home to eat." Qi Qing didn't care too much, as long as she confirmed that the food was edible, she had to get it home.

"Okay, there are quite a lot of vines in this area, which must be enough for us to pick a basket. From this point of view, we really have a windfall today."

Qi Chunni really believed what Miss Xiaoqing said at this moment.

Of course, the main reason is that their sister-in-law's luck is good. Everyone passes by this direction on weekdays, but no one has ever tried to walk in, but their sister-in-law walked in.

I didn't expect that there would be such a surprise at this deflection angle. It really was a matter of luck.

So, the two happily picked up the pumpkin tip, while Qin Tianru squatted in front of a pumpkin vine while the two of them were not paying attention, touching the ground with both hands, concentrating on the ability in his hand.
