A beautiful little life in a farmhouse

Chapter 4 Cooking Mushrooms and Wild Vegetables
After driving away the people, Mu Wanniang turned around and looked at the crumbling wooden door of her house, thinking that she had to make money as soon as possible to fix the door first, so that those people could just push and come in.

She put down the two knives, went back to the house and reheated the goat milk for the two children to drink.The goat milk I drink now is still very fresh, but it still has a lot of fishy smell, but my family is too poor and has no ginger slices, so it can only be like this at present.

And Mrs. Muli, who was scared and ran home over there, was grabbed twice by Mrs. Mu Liu, "Why are you dragging me back so quickly? You almost knocked my waist out."

Li-shi dared not speak out, she was wronged, "Mother, you saw Wanniang just now, it's like... like the third brother came back..."

Mu Liu's complexion changed, "Speak!" She patted Li's body hard twice, feeling frustrated, "Go and cook for you, and when your man comes back, he will kill you without food!"

Mu Li endured the pain and went to the kitchen, leaving Mu Liu standing there in shock.

"No, I still have to burn a few pieces of paper..."

Mu Wanniang didn't care about the two people at the Mu family's side whether they were scared or not, anyway, no one would make trouble for a while.

At this time, Mu Wanniang was feeding the goat milk to Sanwa and Shitou, and she turned to prepare lunch.

Sanwa, who was frightened by the noises outside just now, fell asleep after drinking goat milk. Shito came to help Mu Wanniang cook. Seeing the mushroom in her hand, he asked her: "Sister, what is this?" what?"

He squatted down and imitated Mu Wanniang washing mushrooms. Mu Wanniang told him, and then warned: "Not all mushrooms are edible, you can't just pick and eat them, many of them are poisonous."

Shi Shi was taken aback, "Then sister, can these be eaten?" He pointed to a pile of mushrooms in the basket.

"These are okay. If you find others in the future, you must ask me before you can eat them, understand?"

Shi Shi nodded half-understood, Mu Wanniang saw that he had washed quite cleanly, and saw that there was not much water in the jar, so she said to him: "I'll fetch water, you can wash these vegetables and put them here .”

The sun is hot outside, but fortunately, the river is not far from here, and the buckets for fetching water are not small or big, but a few trips back and forth should be able to fill the tank.

Before going out, Mu Wanniang went to the next door to take a look at Sanwa, who was sleeping comfortably, and put him down in her arms. She noticed the black and dry quilt at the foot of the bed, and her face darkened several times.

Although I don't need it on a hot day, the smell is really not good enough.

Mu Wanniang took out the quilt and put it on the place where the clothes were to be dried. It is now sunny, and even the hardest quilt will smell better after drying for a while.

Mu Wanniang, who went out with two wooden barrels, came back again and directly took off the quilt cover, thinking that she would wash it when she had time.

The river is only a few minutes away from the end of the village. When she passed by, she saw many women washing clothes downstream, but no one noticed her upstream.

Mu Wanniang felt that the trees around the upstream were growing well, just blocking the people downstream.

She carried two buckets, but considering her current small body, they were too heavy, so she only carried half of them on one side, gritted her teeth and carried them home.

This back and forth plus a break in the middle, it took her almost half an hour (an hour) to fill the water tank.

She was sitting in the stove to rest, Shi Shi had been dozing off just now, Mu Wanniang drove him over to rest.

Just now she went up the mountain and picked a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms. She planned to save a small part to eat tomorrow morning, and eat the rest later, so as not to worry about dinner.

Without any seasoning, she first put all the mushrooms down and cooked them, and then dried the wild vegetables, which was also a full dish.

She found this pot at the corner of the mud fence, but fortunately there was no leak, took it back and scalded it with boiled water and washed it a few times, it was just used to hold the vegetables, so there was no need to put the fried wild vegetables in the pot as in the morning , she still has to work hard to clamp the two.

Going to wake up the sleeping Shitou and Sanwa, Shitou washed his hands and came over to look at the full bowl of vegetables, his eyes widened, Mu Wanniang was embarrassed, and just said: "I can't finish eating and continue to eat when it's hot at night. "

Anyway, it's just filling my stomach now, so this tasteless food is naturally not very tasty.

Mu Wanniang tore the mushrooms into small strips and fed them to Sanwa. When he was full, her hands were almost sore.

In the end, the two of them didn't finish the big pot at once, and kept it for dinner at night.

It was getting dark soon, and Mu Wanniang didn't plan to wash the dishes. She took the quilt that was drying outside and put it in the house. Although it became softer, it was still too hard. She didn't care about that, and went to burn it first. The water is ready to take a bath with the black Sanwa and the stone.

When she was cleaning the sleeping room before, she found a large piece of whitish cloth at the bottom of the wooden cabinet. I thought the original owner had hidden it there and forgot, and it was just for the smelly bed sheet It's changed, but the three people who are sleeping will naturally have to be washed.

Even if it's just washing casually in the water, it's considered washing anyway.

The weather is hot now, and the hair of the two brothers is also short. After Mu Wanniang boiled the water, she let them take a bath in the basin where the vegetables were washed before. Anyway, the basin will not be usable tomorrow.

Although the family is poor, they are still in the village on the back of the mountain, and there is no shortage of acacia. Mu Wanniang rubbed the stone and Xiao Sanwa's body with a little force from the foam on her hair and the other acacia, and looked at the basin. The blackened water shocked me a few times.

She lit a fire in the stove, let Shishi sit there with Sanwa in his arms to dry her hair, and she washed it with a fairly good bathtub she found next to the hut in the backyard, and then slowly burned it to wash.Adding herself to this at the end, the water tank that she filled up before is now only one-third left.

But the feeling after taking a shower is really different.

Mu Wanniang changed Sanwa and Shitou into the only replaceable patched cloth clothes in the closet. The clothes and quilt covers were so black that they could hardly see the original color of the cloth, and they were washed together tomorrow morning.

The hair of the two brothers dried quickly, so she let them go to sleep first. Her hair was too long and not yet dry, and she was going to do something else before going to sleep after the hair dried.

Then Mu Wanniang tidied up the kitchen a little by the light of the fire in the stove that hadn't been extinguished.

The most chaotic place was the place where the firewood was piled up. Mu Wanniang went to pick it up one by one slowly, wondering whether there might be mice or other insects in this corner, but also thought that there was a little firewood in the stove. There were no rice, so why would there be mice, she felt relieved.

It's just that she didn't see the mouse in the end, but instead saw a pure black stone hidden inside.

There is a lot of dust on the stone, but it is not difficult to see that it has a good shape, a round one, but it is difficult to see such a solid round stone.

She picked it up and rinsed it with water, looked carefully under the firelight, and found that it was so black that it glowed.

Mu Wanniang thought that since it looks good, she might as well keep it.

After her hair was almost dry, she herself felt drowsy, so she turned off the fire and went back to the house with the stone.

She looked at the two children who were sleeping soundly inside, she smiled, looked at the black stone she put beside her pillow, glowing under the moonlight, and suddenly thought of making money, she frowned hard, Slowly also fell asleep in the past.
