Chapter 70 Who? ! Who? ! Which bastard stole my winter food storehouse! !
Mingdai held the ginseng doll and looked it over carefully. Fortunately, there was no scratch on the skin.
After checking it, I carefully transferred it into the space and waited until I had time to prepare it.
After putting it away, she raised her eyes and glared at Zhou Sinian who was leaning against the tree trunk and gasping.
She was so excited just now that she accidentally put her finger into Zhou Sinian's throat. Now he was gasping with tears in his eyes, silently accusing Mingdai of excessive behavior!
Ming Dai raised her head in anger and scolded him: "Am I short of food for you? Or am I short of drink for you? Or am I hiding something delicious from you? How can you be so quick! You dare to eat anything! This is medicine! Do you know! Your body is weak now and cannot be replenished. If you take a bite, you will die!!"
Zhou Sinian still didn't understand. He just thought that if Mingdai liked it, it must be delicious, so he wanted to have a bite.
Who knew that Mingdai would just pierce his throat!
Tsk!
Ming Dai sighed and said something else: "You can't eat this now, do you know? If you eat it, you will die, and you will never be able to eat pine nut candy, sugar-roasted chestnuts, mutton soup, roasted lamb legs and... again!!"
Zhou Sinian's eyes widened and he jumped away instantly, more than ten meters away from the ginseng forest on the ground.
Mingdai was speechless as she watched Zhou Sinian, who had already jumped onto a tree branch in the distance and was looking at them with a vigilant look on his face.
"Forget it. Just stay on the tree. I'll dig up the rest of the ginseng and take you to find pheasants later, okay?"
Zhou Sinian did not respond, and Mingdai ignored him and continued to dig ginseng with her head down.
Ten minutes later, a voice came from the tree above: "We want sheep, not chickens."
Ming Dai's brush trembled, and she felt a headache when she saw Zhou Sinian jumping onto a tree near her. Even if the lamb was delicious, she couldn't keep eating it!!
Forget it, just listen to him. After all, I made his voice hoarse.
Without Zhou Sinian's interference and with room for cheating, Ming Dai quickly took away all the ginseng over 200 years old nearby.
After observing for a while and finding that ginseng would not actively attack, Zhou Sinian jumped down and happily ate the throat lozenges that Mingdai gave him.
It took the two of them a whole day to dig up ginseng from four places. Mingdai was so nervous that she decided to come back next time.
Before leaving, Mingdai found a herd of wild sheep.
Taking Zhou Sinian over there, without Mingdai's instructions, Zhou Sinian put her on the tree and moved towards the wild goats in the forest like a ghost.
Ming Dai touched the old locust tree beneath her and seriously suspected that Zhou Sinian did it on purpose!
Fortunately, there were few thorns on this branch and she was squatting, so she avoided the embarrassment of tearing her crotch again.
The tree is quite tall and the view is wide, so you can see the hunting scene in the distance clearly.
Because there is a backup sheep production team in the space, Ming Dai told Zhou Sinian that he doesn't need to catch all of them alive, dead ones are also fine, and they can be placed in the space for static storage, which will not affect the taste.
After knocking out most of the sheep, Zhou Sinian was still discovered by the other sheep, and the remaining sheep began to run away bleating.
Zhou Sinian drew out his bayonet and stabbed the sheep one by one. In just a few minutes, he had knocked down all the sheep.
He strode over and reached out to Mingdai who was standing on the tree.
Mingdai looked at his thin but still resolute face under the red turban, and jumped down as if possessed by a ghost.
Fortunately, the crazy boss was able to catch her safely and carried her towards the flock of sheep.
“Hurry up!”
When Zhou Sinian urged her for the first time, Mingdai didn't ask anything and quickly put all the 20 or so sheep into the space.
After the last sheep disappeared, Zhou Sinian grabbed Mingdai by the back of her neck, put her on his back, and rushed down the mountain with her on his back.
Mingdai leaned back instinctively, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, locked her legs around his waist, lowered her head to avoid the branches, and followed him down the mountain.
After running for a while, Zhou Sinian suddenly started climbing trees, jumping between trees using vines, and almost fell down with Mingdai several times.
Mingdai was so frightened that she clutched his shoulders tightly, yet at the same time she wanted to sing a song about Tarzan excitedly.
Zhou Sinian slowed down his pace only when they reached the foot of the mountain.
In the distance, from the forest they were passing through, a tiger roar was heard.
Tiger: Who? ! Who? ! Which bastard stole my winter food storehouse! !
Mingdai and the breathless Zhou Sinian looked at each other and smiled happily.
When we got back to the shed before dinner, Mrs. Huang had already done all the preparations, including mixed flour cakes and stir-fried mung bean sprouts.
The dough was already fermented, so Mingdai stuffed the dough directly into the pan, two pieces per person. They were solid and delicious.
Mung bean sprouts are simpler, vinegar and dried chili are the soul, and the meal is ready in less than an hour.
Mrs. Huang happily helped distribute the food and was not at all interested in the backpacks the two men brought back.
Mingdai was very happy about this. People with interesting ideas are always the easiest to get along with.
After finishing the meal and cleaning up, Mingdai took out a few red persimmons from the basket on her back. They were all ripe and hanging on the branches, about to be eaten by the birds.
Mingdai simply picked them all and put them in the open space, and she harvested about 300 persimmons from one persimmon forest.
Mrs. Huang already knew Mingdai's character, so she took it without any hesitation, peeled off the skin and took a sip.
Sweeter than honey!
"Sister, my mother will definitely send frozen pears and persimmons to my house before the New Year. I will give you half of them then!"
Mingdai nodded happily. Eating frozen pears and frozen persimmons on the kang is a great way to reduce internal heat!
She thought for a moment, "Sister-in-law, where is your mother's family from?"
Huang's wife pointed to the mountain they had just visited today and said, "It's just behind that mountain. My mother's family lives in the mountains. It's very poor there. I was lucky enough to get married and move out. My mother, father, brother, and younger brother all have to live in the mountains their whole lives. There are tigers in the mountains. We have to go in and out with a gun, otherwise we dare not go out. So I can only see my mother once a year, before the New Year."
As she spoke, she became melancholy: "Life in the mountains is too difficult. You can't grow anything in the mountains. You have to rely on the forest for food. There are a lot of fruits, but it's a pity that they can't be transported out. I'm 26 and I still haven't found a wife!"
Mingdai thought that the Daqing Mountain they visited today was indeed very large, and there were no signs of human activities, otherwise these old ginsengs would not have been able to be preserved.
It seems that she has to thank the two tigers, otherwise she would not have been able to dig so much ginseng.
"Sister-in-law, things will definitely get better in the future. Maybe one day the road will be repaired and you can go home by yourself."
Mrs. Huang was cheerful and immediately nodded in affirmation: "If the road is really built, I will go back at least once a month! Apart from anything else, I will definitely be able to eat meat when I go home! Then you can go back with me! Let me tell you, roe deer know, don’t look at the silly roe deer, the meat is delicious! And sheep, I remember when I was a child, I could only eat mutton once during the Chinese New Year. It’s not like here, you can hardly see a few sheep droppings in a year! And... "
Mingdai was happy to hear this and felt that her childhood was much more interesting.
Zhou Sinian's ears moved and he remembered: silly roe deer... it's delicious!!
