Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 28
"Well, it's okay, I'm not afraid, I'll lead you along." Xiaocao patted her chest.

"Mother, look, it's all right, Xiaocao is fine." After speaking, she made a mischievous face.Jing Niang shook her head, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, what could she say.

The bamboo forest fell in a short while, and since she was going into the mountains today, Xiao Ting specially asked Jing Niang to bring more bags or baskets that could hold things.So Jingniang used the big bag that used to hold millet at home.

"Wow, mother, this place is so big, there are a lot of bamboos. There should be a lot of bamboo shoots, let's dig more, next time we go to the market, let's sell them." Xiao Ting shouted excitedly.

Xiaocao was at a loss, isn't this just a bamboo, what's there to be excited about.

"Xiaocao, we are going to dig the bamboo shoots. You are with us today. I believe you didn't bring any tools. Let's dig out the bamboo shoots. You can help peel them out. After you go home, you can sell them for money. Let's divide it up again, what do you think?" Xiaoting knew that Xiaocao didn't understand what the bamboo was good for, and what the bamboo shoots could be used for.

I also thought that Xiaocao said that she would not tell things, and she did not bring tools such as knives, so it is more appropriate to ask her to peel the bamboo shoots directly.She and mother looked for bamboo shoots first, mother came to dig, and the grass peeled.In this way, the speed will be faster, and after peeling, it will become smaller and lighter, so that you can carry more.

"Okay, I'll peel the bamboo shoots later. After buying the bamboo shoots, I only need one floor for the money, and nine floors for you and my aunt. I don't know anything, you brought me here, and I just peel and peel the bamboo shoots It’s just a child, and I’m small and weak, so I can’t do much. Anyway, Xiaohua, thank you for trusting me.” Xiaocao is a person who knows how to be grateful.

"Okay, Xiaocao, don't say that, let's do this, no matter how much the bamboo shoots can be sold, Auntie will give you two layers." Jing Niang looked at this sensible child, and said her plan .

"Okay, Xiaocao, let it be like this, no matter how much the work you do today, I will give you 2 floors, and I will talk about it later. And when it is sold out at the market, you keep the money for yourself and don't give it to anyone. Do you know? Otherwise, they will ask where the money comes from. You can give your mother a little, or a copper or two, and just say that you can make money by selling things for us." Xiao Ting thought that in the future, she would often With Xiaocao, you can only earn more, not less, so I dare not let a little girl let others know how much money she has.This person is a curious animal, but also a selfish animal. If you know what you can make money, you have to ask the bottom line, or you will do all kinds of inquiries, follow-up and so on.

"Well, Xiaohua, I understand all these, let's start working first." Xiaocao understood Xiaohua's plan and wanted Xiaohua to rest assured, so she gave her a positive look.

"Okay, let's divide the work and cooperate. I'll be in charge of finding the bamboo shoots, mother will be in charge of digging, and Xiaocao will be in charge of peeling. That's it, let's act together."

"Okay," Jingniang and Xiaocao replied together.After the big one and the two small ones reached an agreement, they took action one after another.

Today is March [-]rd, which is the annual tomb-sweeping for people here, but Xiaohua's family postponed it until tomorrow. Their main purpose today is to get more things and sell them in the market.They want to make money and fight for themselves.

This bamboo grove is very large, and it took more than half an hour for Xiaohua to wander around each bamboo. There will be bamboo shoots that can be dug.In addition, she marked the pointy ones as another.The ones that come out are also edible, but they may be slightly bitter and older than the ones that are not.

But it doesn't matter, these bamboo shoots just need to be peeled off, cut in half, and dig out the whitish piece in the middle.That white piece is the source of bitterness, and it’s just a little troublesome to eat.

It took Jing Niang and Xiao Ting an hour and a half to finish Xiao Ting's circle.Tired waist and back ache, but thinking that all these can be paid back, I couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

Xiao Ting just focused on making bamboo shoots, but now she thinks of bamboo fungus, which is delicious and very fresh.So wandered around again.At this time, Jingniang was peeling bamboo shoots with Xiaocao, and had no time to see what Xiaoting was doing.

This bamboo grove is huge, thanks to Jingniang's long-term labor, the bamboo shoots can be dug quickly.But it still took about 3 hours.Xiao Ting turned around and found a lot of bamboo fungus.I had a lot of pockets in my dress, so I went back to find her exclusive little basket, and then told Jingniang and Xiaocao: "Mother, Xiaocao, you will be finished in a while, help me find as many as you want, put them all in a basket, I'm useful." He took out the bamboo fungus and showed them.

You must know that this bamboo forest is huge, there must be many, and no one has ever come to pick it.When it was over, I went to pick it with my small basket.

Xiao Ting found that there are many bamboo fungus in this bamboo forest, but then she thought that bamboo fungus is a kind of fungus, and mushrooms are also fungi, and mushrooms with bright colors are not edible, because they are poisonous, so is it the same for bamboo fungus? .At least she used to go to the store to eat all white, and what she saw in the supermarket was also white.

Although she lived in the countryside when she was a child, there were a lot of bamboos at home, but she didn't think too much about it. Her hometown is in Fujian.Fujian Sanming and Nanping are famous for bamboo fungus, but her family is from a coastal area, so I didn't think too much about it.But what she had eaten, and what she saw in the supermarket, plus an analysis of mushrooms, so the yellow ones were automatically ignored.In fact, it's a good thing this guy has used his brain, otherwise the yellow bamboo fungus is really poisonous and cannot be eaten.

About half an hour later, Xiaoting's stomach was rumbling with hunger, so she went back to find Jingniang and the others.

"Mother, I'm hungry." From a distance, Xiao Hua's voice could be heard crying, Jing Niang looked at the pile of bamboo shoots in front of her, and didn't know when she would be peeling them.This is too impatient, there are so many piles, and Xiaocao's hands are all peeled red.

"Got it, it's noon now, it's time to eat." He said and took out the cakes in the basket in the morning and the water in bamboo.

"Little grass, don't peel it yet, eat a piece of cake first, we'll finish it later, and then we'll make it." Jing Niang looked at Xiaocao who was still peeling, this child just makes people feel distressed, meticulous and serious.

"Okay, auntie, I'll eat this after I peel it, you can eat it first." Xiaocao insisted on peeling the one in her hand and eating it.

And now Xiao Ting has come over, and seeing that there are still a lot of bamboo shoots that have not been peeled, she sighed, forget about the bamboo shoots and pick them by herself later, after all, the peeling speed is not as fast as picking bamboo shoots, I guess In half an hour, she will finish picking it.

After eating one and a half cakes and drinking some water, Xiao Ting felt sleepy.I want to sleep when I'm full, isn't this the life of a pig?But even though she was a little sleepy, Xiao Ting still insisted on picking the bamboo fungus first.And she also wants to go to other places to see, after all, it is rare to go to the mountain once.

Fortunately, this is spring. Although everything is recovering, many animals have come out of hibernation, such as snakes. Fortunately, the weather is cold now, and snakes are hiding in the grass to bask in the sun. After all, the bamboo forest is still relatively cold.If it was summer, if he ran into a snake like Zhuyeqing, Xiao Ting would probably cry again and never go into the bamboo forest again. Fortunately, this guy was only thinking about spring bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots.
