Farmer's daughter is also self-improvement

Chapter 34
Li Lingling saw that everyone agreed and made an appointment to meet tomorrow, so she got up and said goodbye.Li Yulan hurriedly put some fresh dates in a bamboo basket for Li Lingling to take back. Li Shasha also went back to her room and took two red roses and put them in the bamboo basket.Li Lingling looked at the beautiful rose in surprise. Li Shasha pointed to the rose and said, "This is a red rose. Be careful when handling it. There are thorns on the branches."

Li Lingling was a little embarrassed and felt that she would refuse to take something home after eating here, but Li Shasha had to obediently carry it back after a few words.

Mrs. Wang had another conversation with the old lady, and then went to the kitchen with Li Yulan to cook dinner.After everyone had finished dinner, the rain outside became a little lighter. Mrs. Wang lit a lantern, and went to the backyard with Li Yulan to look at the vegetable field and the piglets. Seeing that everything was normal, everyone split up to rest.

Hou Shi and Li Zongguang next door were also muttering in their bedroom. Hou Shi said to Li Zongguang: "I listened to the fence for a long time during the day and didn't hear anything important. I just looked at them as if they were planting something else." New varieties of vegetables. No, if this continues, they will definitely make a fortune. We have to think about how to get their new vegetables."

Li Zongguang also felt that it was very tricky, and rolled his eyes: "How about, let's take advantage of the day when there is no one next door, let's go dig a few of them. If you think about it carefully, I don't believe that they take good care of us. And you, if you can’t grow better, then we can’t make a fortune!”

Hou Shi was right when he thought about it, since if he didn't want to give it clearly, he could only steal it secretly.So the two began to think about how to monitor the situation of the neighbors at home.

Here Li Shasha decided not to sell the pasture and grain, and sold everything else in a hurry, so her time in the space was very short.After coming out, she slept soundly on the bed, and Li Yulan didn't wake her up until Xiao Shunzi came over the next morning.

As soon as Li Shasha came out, she saw several large baskets on the floor of the stove house filled with tomatoes and cauliflower, and another bamboo basket with peppers, potatoes and celery. Collected all the land.Li Shasha first asked Xiao Shunzi to weigh the tomatoes and cauliflower, and they actually weighed three hundred catties.A total of [-] wen, plus yesterday's [-] wen, Xiao Shunzi gave Li Shasha a five tael silver ingot and a string of [-] wen copper coins.

After collecting the money, Li Shasha told Xiao Shunzi about today's new dishes, and showed him the dishes in the bamboo basket.Xiao Shunzi had never seen celery and potatoes before, but the bright red pepper was a common thing.

Seeing Xiao Shunzi's expression, Li Shasha knew that he must think that pepper was nothing, so she explained: "Brother Xiao Shunzi, don't underestimate that pepper, this is a devil pepper. As for why it is called a devil pepper, I will break off a little and you can smell it You'll understand when you smell it." After finishing speaking, he broke a chili pepper in half and handed it under Xiao Shunzi's nose, Xiao Shunzi was immediately sneezed by the pungent chili pepper, and said in his heart that it really is. Devil pepper, this is too spicy, it can be so powerful just by smelling it, how does it taste in your mouth!
Xiao Shunzi wiped her nose: "I also brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Miss Sanya will dictate, and I will write a new menu!" Li Shasha let Xiao Shunzi to the dining table in the stove house, and spread out the things.Li Shasha just talked about the two menus, and Xiao Shunzi took a pen to write down the menus.

After finishing writing, Xiao Shunzi gave Li Shasha a big oiled paper bag. Li Shasha opened it and saw that there were two sauced ducks.Xiao Shunzi explained with a smile: "The shopkeeper Qin took Miss Sanya's jujube and said that the sauced duck is the signature dish in our store, and letting Miss Sanya try it is also a return gift. These new dishes and new menus , I will hand it over to Shopkeeper Qin in time, and I will write back to Miss Sanya when I come here tomorrow morning."

Li Shasha thanked politely: "Shopkeeper Qin is so kind, I still have a jar of homemade yogurt here, I want to give it to Shopkeeper Qin to try something new. Then I will trouble Brother Xiaoshunzi!" After finishing speaking, she took it out and brought it out of the space The yogurt was packed in an earthen porcelain jar, and a small jar of honey was given. It was said that after the yogurt was filled, the honey was poured on it, which was very delicious.

Xiao Shunzi accepted it with a smile, turned around and went out, and headed for Yanbo Town with a carriage.Li Shasha also put the five taels of silver ingots received today and the four hundred copper coins into the wooden box. Looking at the silver coins increasing day by day, Li Shasha also felt full of confidence in life.

After the family had eaten breakfast, Li Shasha urged Li Yulan to clean up quickly, and she was in a hurry to join Li Lingling to pick mushrooms in the back mountain.Mrs. Wang took out all the panniers for them, and Li Yulan took the biggest pannier on her back after tidying up the stove, and led the two younger ones to Li Dehai's house.

Because it rained yesterday, the bamboo leaves in the bamboo grove were as emerald green as if they had been washed. Li Shasha was in a very good mood because of the green eyes.When they arrived at Li Dehai's house, Li Lingling was already carrying a basket on her back and was ready to go out to find them. When she saw the three of them coming, she happily joined the team and set off towards the back mountain.

Today's weather is very good, the sun is bright and makes people feel comfortable, and the air after the rain has a fresh smell of earth.The four of them walked with laughter and joy, and Li Shasha was overwhelmed by the idyllic scenery on both sides.The mountain road is very narrow, and it will be enough for two people to cross their sides.Yesterday's rain made the road a bit muddy, so be careful not to slip when walking.

There are terraced fields on both sides of the road, and the crops in the fields seem to be newly planted, and they have just sprouted.I heard from Li Yulan that it was because the rice was dry and everyone replanted corn.The rain yesterday was an emergency, otherwise the replanted old corn would not grow.

Climbing to the middle of the mountain, the road became steeper and steeper, and some shale rocks were exposed in some places, layer by layer. At this time, everyone could only climb up with hands and feet.Li Yulan climbed up first, and then turned around and pulled up one by one. Li Xianzhi pretended to be an older brother and pushed Li Shasha from behind, saving Li Yulan a lot of energy.

After passing this more dangerous place, we went up to a mountain bag, and there was a rock the size of a table. Li Shasha was really tired, so she suggested that everyone take a rest.Li Yulan was also afraid that Li Shasha would be tired, so she asked everyone to sit on the rocks to rest.

While sitting on the rock and talking, they looked at Lijia Village under their feet.Because she had climbed up to a certain height, Li Shasha could now see clearly what the place she lived in was like. Lijia Village is indeed located between the valleys of the two mountains, but it is surrounded by continuous mountains. It seems that she is live in the mountains.The village has become smaller, and the houses in the mountain villages are scattered in the valley like pearls, and the mountains in the distance are also as emerald green as washed by yesterday's rain.

Li Lingling suddenly shouted: "Look, everyone, what's under this rock?" Her voice scared the people who were looking at the distant scenery to jump. Li Lingling pulled Li Yulan to squat down to look at the dark green lichen under the rock. general stuff.Li Yulan became happy: "Hey, there is still a ground ear at this time, which is a good thing." After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to peel it off, and there was actually a big piece.

Li Shasha asked: "Auntie, what is this?" Li Yulan replied: "This is ground fungus. It is delicious to scramble eggs or stew bacon. It only comes out after the rain. It hasn't rained this spring." , I haven’t seen this thing yet.” Li Shasha was also happy to hear that, but she had never eaten such a good, natural and pollution-free food.

Li Lingling turned to the other side of the rock and found it, and she also reached out and lifted a large piece off. There was a harvest before it reached the place, and everyone was even more excited.Li Shasha was also in a hurry: "Let's not stop, hurry up to pick the fungus, okay?" Encouraged by Di Er, the four of them picked up their baskets and headed up the mountain again.

After walking for about half an hour, Li Shasha was too tired to appreciate the surrounding scenery, and only felt that her legs were constantly moving up.After finally reaching a forest, Li Lingling said, "Hey, it's finally here!" Li Shasha's spirit came back again, knowing that she would not be able to find it, she followed closely behind Li Yulan.

After a while, Li Yulan found a piece of fir fungus, and the blossoming yellow umbrellas were very attractive.Li Yulan cheered happily: "This fir fungus is a good thing. With this stew, the soup is so delicious." She put the fir fungus into the basket one by one, and Li Shasha squatted beside her to help, feeling very helpful sense of accomplishment.

Li Lingling also found a piece of fir fungus under a tree, which drew her cheers.Li Shasha carefully observed the fir fungus and felt that the cap of the fir fungus had a green and moldy appearance. She had never seen such a fungus in the north, and she wondered if this kind of thing could be eaten.

The four picked all the fungus in the woods, and felt that it was enough for the family to eat a few meals, so they walked down the mountain with today's harvest fruits on their backs.As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain.When Li Shasha first went up the mountain, she just felt a little tired, but going down the mountain was not very easy. There were some places with steep slopes, and she had to trot all the way across.

After walking and stopping along the way, I finally saw Li Dehai's house. The smoke was already rising from the roof, and it seemed that they had started cooking lunch.It was only then that they felt a little hungry, so they hurried home a few steps.

Li Lingling said goodbye to the three of them at the door of her house, and Li Yulan distributed a lot of the fungus in her basket to Li Lingling. Without looking back, he led the siblings away.

After walking for a while, they arrived at home. After entering the house, Mrs. Wang came over and asked them to put down the baskets. Seeing the fungi that everyone picked, she couldn't help smiling: "Sister Sha picked so many fungi when she went out. We all have mouthfuls!" Li Yulan also said happily: "Not only that, mother, you see there are also ground ears."

"Oh, and this good thing, I haven't eaten it this year." The old lady was also happy.Li Shasha said loudly: "Grandma, are you ready for lunch?" Mrs. Wang said: "I'm afraid you will be hungry after climbing the mountain. I have already started preparing and eating right away." Li Shasha thought for a while and said: " Grandma, let's buy some pork this afternoon, let's stew pork with mushrooms, how about it?"

Wang was a little bit reluctant again: "It's not a festival, so let's just buy meat, isn't it good?" Li Shasha comforted: "Grandma, although it's not a festival today, let's eat meat for these three days. There are more than ten taels of silver, and so many mushrooms have been picked, shouldn't it be celebrated!"
