When they were going down the mountain, Jie Bomu and Jing Dasao happened to come over from the other side of the mountain. Seeing Deng Qingling's backpack full of mushrooms, they smiled and said, "Ah Qing, you picked so many mushrooms so quickly!"

Deng Qingling also saw the two of them and said with a smile: "Mushrooms are everywhere. The ones at the bottom of the basket are bamboo shoots, and the ones on top are mushrooms."

"Where did you dig the bamboo shoots just now?" asked Aunt Jie.

My daughter-in-law likes to eat bamboo shoots, so it would be nice to dig some up and bring them back.

Deng Qingling: "I dug it up in the bamboo forest halfway up the mountain. There wasn't much, but I dug it all up."

"Oh, then let's go and take a look at the bamboo forest on the top of the mountain." Jie Bom didn't bother to gossip anymore. If they didn't go now, what if someone dug it up? They should hurry up the mountain!

Deng Qingling watched them walk away and didn't want to look for them anymore.

When she got home, she took out the mushrooms from the basket, and took out a lot of mushrooms from the space, spreading them out in the yard to dry. If the weather was good, they would be dried in two days.

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I poured out the bamboo shoots, cut them into small strips with a knife, cleaned the pot and boiled water, poured the bamboo shoots in, and when the water turned yellow, I took them out and put them in a wooden barrel and soaked them in cold water. I changed the water frequently, and they were ready to be cooked and eaten after one night.

Deng Qingling thought it would be a good idea to blanch the bamboo shoots while the water was still hot, so she took out the bamboo shoots from the space and poured most of them into the pot.

She wasn't afraid of someone suddenly coming in, as the children had already taken their grandmother out to play early in the morning.

As for Guo Youxing, the roof of the house where Old Man Li lived was blown away by strong winds and heavy rains, so Guo Youxing organized several villagers to repair the roof.

Chen Chen took the opportunity to say that there is a lot of rain in the summer, and he is afraid that the roof will soon be blown away by the strong wind and heavy rain. It would be better to lay tiles on them instead of repairing the roof all the time, which is so troublesome!

I don’t know how many mushrooms I could have picked in that time. It’s a huge loss.

When the villagers who were helping to repair the roof heard what he said, they all expressed their agreement.

Although there are work points for repairing the roof, it is a bit disadvantageous compared to going up the mountain. What can two or three work points do?

But the village chief has called me, so even if I don’t have any work points, I have to come and help for the sake of the village chief.

Thinking that there was still a batch of tiles in the village army’s warehouse, Guo Youxing agreed.

The team worked hard until the afternoon and finished the roof.

Soon the bamboo shoots were cooked soft. Deng Qingling used a colander to scoop out all the bamboo shoots, rinsed them with cold water, and then cut them into large pieces for easy drying.

It’s okay to dry more bamboo shoots. Braised meat with dried bamboo shoots or stir-fried with peppers are delicious.

After drying the bamboo shoots, Deng Qingling washed the remaining bamboo shoots and found a clean large vat to soak the sour bamboo shoots.

After finishing these things, I started preparing lunch.

Deng Qingling took out a white-striped chicken from the space, cut it into small pieces and put it into the pot to stew.

I washed a handful of bamboo fungus I picked up and cooked a pot of corn and miscellaneous grain rice. When the chicken was almost cooked, I put the bamboo fungus into the pot and stewed it for a while before eating.

The children came back just as the food was cooked.

As soon as the children entered the yard, they smelled the fragrance and ran to the kitchen.

Liang Xueying only noticed that the yard was full of mushrooms and bamboo shoots drying in the sun, and even the walls were covered with bamboo shoots hanging on them.

I was amazed for a moment. My daughter-in-law picked so many things in just one morning. She is really capable.

When Deng Qingling saw the children coming back, she asked them to wash their hands and then prepared to eat.

Guo Haochen said with a smile: "Mom, what delicious food did you make? It smells so good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Qingling heard the sound of him swallowing.

Guo Ninghuan ran over and hugged Deng Qingling's thighs, looked up at her and said, "Mom, did you stew the meat?"

Deng Qingling smiled and tapped her little nose, saying, "You have the most sensitive nose. You know all this."

Guo Ninghuan smiled smugly and said, "Of course! Who am I?" As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach began to growl.

She lowered her head in embarrassment for a moment.

Deng Qingling suppressed her smile, patted her head, and said, "Huanhuan, go find grandma to wash your hands. Mom will give you some chicken wings later."

Guo Ning smiled and replied "Yeah," then skipped out.

Deng Qingling turned around and saw that the Guo Haochen brothers' eyes were almost falling into the pot, so she quickly sent them out to wash their hands.

Scoop up half of the chicken and soup, put them in the space, heat them up in the evening and you can eat them.

Then he ordered a plate of cold cucumber salad and started to set the table. Just as he had set the table, Guo Youxing came back.

During the meal, Guo Youxing took the first sip of the mushroom chicken soup, and his eyes lit up and he praised it repeatedly.

"These mushrooms are rich in aroma and flavor, and stewing them with chicken makes the chicken even more delicious."

"Aqing, is this a pheasant or our own chicken? It's stewed so deliciously." Liang Xueying asked after taking a bite of the chicken.

"It's from pheasant. I saved some for dinner." Deng Qingling said, without stopping her hands, she picked up a chicken wing and put it in Huanhuan's bowl.

The three little guys were busy eating the meat. When they heard the adults say it was delicious, they nodded randomly to show their agreement.

The food was quickly eaten up by everyone, even the mushrooms in the chicken soup and the cold cucumbers were eaten up, it was truly a clean plate campaign.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. In the end, Liang Xueying cleaned up the dishes. Deng Qingling did not stop her. They divided the work and cooperated, with one cooking and the other cleaning up the dishes, which was just right.

After Deng Qingling returned to the house and changed her clothes, she played with the children for a while and then sent them back to the house for a nap.

Fatigue in spring, fatigue in autumn and headache in summer.

Taking a nap in the summer is also very comfortable. This house is cool even without a fan.

Deng Qingling slept until two o'clock in the afternoon. When she woke up, the children were already having fun in the yard.

They were not afraid of the heat in this hot weather and kept going out into the sun. Deng Qingling was fed up with it and told them to go back to the house to play but they refused. She could only tell them to drink more water.

After a summer, the children have all become a lot tanned, especially around their necks, which are so dark that when they take off their clothes, it looks like they are wearing black collars, with a clear distinction between black and white.
