Chapter 54

Work at sunrise and rest at sunset.After more than a month of hard work by Lin Qiulai's family of seven, the 35 mu of land was finally planted with crops.

What surprised Lin Qiulai's family of seven was that there were five new members in the rabbit shed in the backyard. That female rabbit gave birth to five baby rabbits, and the other two female rabbits also had bulging bellies. Yes, it is estimated that it will be born soon.

Although the baby bunny was red and hairless when it was first born, and its eyes were closed, it looked ugly no matter how you looked.But after a few days, it changed immediately. A thin layer of fluff had grown on their bodies, and their ruby-like eyes were so cute no matter how they looked.

The five children are all very interested in these five bunnies, and they go to see them every day, and they each adopt one.Fang Yumin was also very happy in her heart, after all, this was a good start for her future breeding industry!
Fang Yumin ran to the rabbit shed if she had nothing to do, and repeatedly asked Xiaoming Xiaobao, who was mainly responsible for feeding the rabbits and chickens, to choose the best and tenderest grass and vegetable leaves for the female rabbit to eat, and sweet potatoes and carrots could also be cut into strips and fed to her. , Be sure to let the female rabbit produce more milk to feed the five baby rabbits.

Hehehe, grow up quickly, you will be slaughtered when you grow up, let my children grow up quickly!
Last time the whole family went up the mountain and picked a lot of wild mountain Minoru and peaches.Fang Yumin hasn't eaten fruit since she got here, Shan Minoru, that was her favorite when she was a child.The purple-black shanmin is the best, sweet and sour, as long as you pinch it lightly with your fingers, the flesh will peel out.

When Fang Yumin saw the wild mountains and plains, Ye Shanren screamed in surprise like a child. His legs, which were already too tired to move because of climbing the mountain, immediately turned like wheels, and the five children who were also extremely surprised ran away in three or two steps. Go up and pick it up and eat it directly.After a while, their lips and tongues were dyed purple by Minoru.Lin Qiulai took out the cloth bag to pick Ye Shanmin and laughed while watching them, throwing one into his mouth from time to time.

The peaches on the mountain were still green and not fully ripe, but Fang Yumin couldn't help picking some and bringing them home.Although the peaches are not yet ripe and are not tasty for the time being, seeing so many peaches hanging on the peach tree, Fang Yumin feels it is a waste not to pick some and go back.

In modern times, unless you go to the orchard to eat, which peaches bought in the supermarket will be ripe on the tree?Either soaked in potion to accelerate ripening, or cooked by ancient method.With this thought in mind, Fang Yumin took it back and covered it for a few days and it should be familiar.

On the mountain that day, in addition to picking a lot of wild Minoru and peaches, Fang Yumin was pleasantly surprised to find mint.Mint is good. It is good for cold dishes. It is also cool to soak in water on a hot day, just like drinking ice water. It is refreshing and delicious.

Fang Yumin picked a lot, and she was going to dry them to make tea.I also made a mark there, so that when Lin Qiu comes down the mountain, remember to come here to dig a few mint trees and plant them at home, so that he can drink without going up the mountain in the future.

Although it hasn't rained in the past few days and the sky is clear, Fang Yumin thought that there would be no wild mushrooms.Who knows that there are damp and dark places in the mountains, especially the ancient mountains have not been over-developed and felled, the air around the ancient trees is actually very fresh, even at noon, there is a cool breeze under the trees.

On these thick stumps, on the bare ground roots, wild gray or white mushrooms popped up.Layers of black fungus also grew on some dead wood that fell to the ground.

Xiaoyang and Xiaozhu are used to picking, and they recognize several commonly eaten varieties.Although Fang Yumin wished to pick all the edible wild mushrooms back, she only knew a few kinds of straw mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms and chicken spleen mushrooms that she had eaten and seen before.Graduation is imported food, and Fang Yumin can't rashly judge whether these wild fungi are poisonous based on their color!Some brightly colored ones are not poisonous, but some gray ones are.It is safest to pick the wild mushrooms that have been eaten.

Two adults and five children had been hopping up and down the mountain for a whole morning, and when the bamboo basket behind them was full, it was time for lunch.Fang Yumin really only brought stewed sweet potatoes for lunch!
But everyone ate a lot of wild and slightly ripe peaches and pears, and they were still not hungry.Because Fang Yumin expected a silly rabbit to hit a tree, she prepared a pack of seasonings before going up the mountain.It's a pity that now, those rabbits are much smarter than Fang Yumin imagined.

But now these seasonings are just right for roasting wild mushrooms.Fang Yumin asked Lin Qiu to cut a few knots of bamboo back for later use, and then went to the stream to wash all the wild fungi, then put these fresh wild fungi into the bamboo tube, and sprinkled some salt and spices into it.

After Xiaoyang and Xiaozhu built a fire, Fang Yumin buried seven bamboo tubes and sweet potatoes under the fire.Then Lin Qiu was sent to dig traps and catch pheasants. Xiaoyang took the four little ones to climb trees nearby and dig out eggs.Fang Yumin guarded the fire and turned over the bamboo tubes and sweet potatoes so as not to burn them.

Lin Qiulai even shot a pheasant back with a rough homemade bow and arrow, which is not bad; Xiaoyang and the others had a better harvest, and even brought back many bird nests, one on top of the other, Fang Yumin didn't mind either. Knowing how many there are, she smiled happily looking at these various bird eggs.

Split the big bamboo joints, fill them with water, and put them directly on the fire to boil the eggs.Sure enough, it is clear to only bring sweet potatoes up the mountain. Fang Yumin is very satisfied with her wise decision.

Bamboo-baked wild mushrooms taste really good!The freshly picked wild mushrooms are already very fresh. They are wrapped in bamboo tubes and baked. The fresh mushrooms have a fresh taste of bamboo, which tastes very fragrant.It would be great if there was butter. Cooking wild mushrooms in butter made Fang Yumin's mouth water just thinking about it.

"Mom, this is delicious. Do you want to cook this again tonight?" Xiao Ming obviously loves this, and he doesn't even care about boiling it. He hasn't eaten half of it yet, and he has already asked for the next meal.

"There's not much left, shouldn't it be enough?" Fang Yumin said, looking at the little shiitake mushrooms left in the bamboo basket.

"Auntie, let's pick some after we finish eating. We haven't been to that area yet." Xiaoyang pointed to another small mountain road and said.

"Qiu Lai, what do you think?"

"Yes, it's still very early. Although it's noon, it's very cool in the woods. I dug two traps, and I guess the stupid rabbit didn't fall in such a short time."

As soon as Lin Qiulai finished speaking, the children all laughed.Xiao Yang saw that Xiao Ming pulled all the wild mushrooms in the bamboo tube into his mouth and ate them, so he gave him a small half of his own: "Xiao Ming, you really like this."

"Brother Xiaoyang, you don't need to give it to me. You can eat." Xiao Ming felt embarrassed, he was the youngest, but he ate the fastest.

Xiao Yang smiled and said, "It's okay, I used to eat it a lot, but I just baked it or boiled it casually, it's not as delicious as my aunt's."

Xiao Zhu also nodded: "Yes, it's the first time I've seen my aunt doing this. It's really delicious. Xiao Ming, I'll pick some more and bring them back. Look, I've already finished eating."

Dabao and Xiaobao also licked the corners of their mouths, expressing that they would pick some more later.In fact, they felt ashamed when they saw Xiaoyang share their share with Xiaoming. They ate too fast and forgot to take care of their younger brother.

Fang Yumin and Lin Qiulai looked at each other and smiled, now this brother and friend respectful is what they want to see most.After getting along with each other, these four children are well-behaved and capable children. Although they are still young, they are not afraid of being tired or hard when they work.Fang Yumin's heart is gone, but for Lizheng, she has not forgotten that she has been tricked by him!

After picking wild mushrooms, I caught two stupid rabbits when I went down the mountain. The bamboo baskets were full of wild mushrooms, peaches and pears, as well as a pheasant and a few mint plants.It can be regarded as a rewarding experience.

If you eat too much, you may become constipated, and if you leave it for two days in hot weather, it will break down.Fang Yumin picked out some not-so-familiar wild mountain Minoru with unbroken skin, washed them, dried them, and put them into a clean small crock.After pouring rice wine over Ye Shanren and soaking it, Fang Yumin sealed the jar and put it in the ear room.

In addition, part of the mountain Minoru was added with sugar and boiled into jam, which was packed in small jars.This can be used to drink with water, sour and sweet; it can also be spread on steamed buns. Fang Yumin used to have blueberry jam spread on bread for breakfast.It's just that the sugar here is very expensive, Fang Yumin doesn't do much, she just wants to give the good children at home one more food to satisfy their cravings.

Everything at home is on track. Although it is hard work, there is finally hope!Fang Yumin now only hopes that Lin Zhuxin can arrange someone to help her build a new house as soon as possible.When her house is built, it will be a real courtyard with high walls.snort!She, Fang Yumin, will close the door and fiddle with experiments at home to make a fortune. No one can steal her prescription!

After dinner, Lin Qiulai picked up the bucket to fetch water from the river as usual.Fang Yumin hurriedly stepped forward and pulled his sleeves and said, "Qiu Lai, you go to Lizheng's house. Let's see when the old man will arrange someone to build a house for our family?"

"Okay, I'll go and ask." Lin Qiulai nodded, put down the bucket, and walked to Lizheng's house.

Fang Yumin looked at Lin Qiulai's back and curled her lips, and said to herself: "Lin Fox, don't let me guess you! If you dare to tell Lin Qiu that our new house will be suspended, you are afraid People from other villages know the sweet potato flour in our village as a reason, hmph! In the future, you don’t want to get any benefits from me! The last time I endured you was for Qiulai and four children, but the last time when I was I won't do it a second time, you're my SB!"

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Xiao Ming raised his head and asked, his mother's mouth kept moving, but he couldn't hear what she was saying clearly.

Fang Yumin squatted down smiling and said to Xiao Ming: "Mother is talking about it, Xiao Ming is going to be six years old, it's time to go to school."

"So fast?" Xiao Ming exclaimed, then turned to look at Xiao Bao who was harvesting vegetables not far away, then leaned into Fang Yumin's ear and asked softly: "Mother, do the four little brothers go to school with me? "

"This mother will think about it. Xiao Ming, you must study hard when you go to school, you must get good grades in the exam, and you must win the praise of your mother." After Fang Yumin finished speaking, she bowed her head in shame. Those parents who ask for scores in the exam are the same!

"Don't worry, mother, I will definitely study hard." Xiao Ming patted Fang Yumin on the shoulder like a grown-up to assure him.

Fang Yumin sighed, and said to Xiao Ming in a tangled manner: "Mother is very relieved of Xiao Ming. Although you may not understand what a young mother like you tells you, but if there is a Juren in our family, alas, even if it is out It doesn’t matter if you are a scholar, the family’s land can be exempted from taxes. Even a scholar, you don’t have to be harsh on the county magistrate anymore! Wow, this evil feudal society! Xiao Ming, if you can get an official position, you will be Li Zheng doesn't dare to be disrespectful to us, your grandma is no problem. Although you are still so young, you won't see the effect for a while, but we have to take a long-term view. I don't want you to grow up Just like your father, he sells his labor to make a living. It's hard and tiring and he has no money."

Xiao Ming frowned and looked at Fang Yumin, who was still in a daze, and said after a while: "Mother, what you said is so difficult to understand."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, as long as you understand it later! Anyway, you have to study hard for me, at least you must be a scholar. Lin Xuming, can you complete the task?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming saluted Fang Yumin reflexively, and said loudly, "I promise to complete the task! Sir!"

Fang Yumin smiled after hearing this, squeezed Xiao Ming's face, stood up and took his hand to collect vegetables with Xiao Bao.
