I woke up naturally and hadn't even had breakfast yet. Zheng Weili came over and knocked on the door. "Aning, what are you going to do with your fish?"
Jiang Ning said perfunctorily, "I want to make pickled fish. I'll ask Grandma Zhong's family then."
1803 got two portions, but he couldn't eat so much. He thought of taking half of the fish to the market in the department store to join in the fun and exchange them for some useful supplies.
Jiang Ning didn't want to join in the fun. "I plan to take Coke back to the villa halfway up the mountain to see if it can catch another rabbit or something."
The collapse of the reservoir is too dangerous, and Zhang Chao and Lu Yu have been very tired in the past two days, so they don't want to go anymore.
So he went to knock on the door of 1801 again. Huo Yishen agreed to go to the market, but he wanted to take Doudou there to gain experience and let her have more contact with the cruel world outside.
Poor Zheng Weili has to stay and continue to look after the house.
Just as I was about to go out, Grandma Zhong came up and knocked on the door, and asked in a low voice whether we wanted to go to the 18th floor to dig wild kudzu root?
By taking a ride on the 18th floor, the Zhong family got a lot of supplies, but who would complain about having too many supplies?
God has mercy on me this time, but I may not have the same chance next time.
Aged wild kudzu roots are as thick as tree roots, and ten pounds of roots may not produce one pound of powder.
Not only is it half-dead after being dug out, but how to break it up and wash the powder is also a problem.
Kudzu root powder is good for beauty, but it tastes like paste and does not fill you up at all.
All the staff on the 18th floor who had food in hand were in a bad mood, and no one wanted to participate in this unattractive project.
There was no other way, the Zhong family could only do it themselves.
After breakfast, Jiang Ning took the dog out.
We drove the speedboat back to the reservoir, landed, and climbed towards another hill.
There is a dense bamboo forest on the other side of the mountain, which Jiang Ning discovered accidentally when he was observing through a telescope the day before yesterday.
Moso bamboo produces bamboo shoots in winter, commonly known as winter bamboo shoots, and now is the season for producing bamboo shoots.
Climbing along the mountain, just after crossing the col, we saw a large area of bamboo in front of us. The soil was cracked and scattered by the winter bamboo shoots, and some even had pointed heads.
Bamboo shoots, real bamboo shoots.
Jiang Ning took out a telescope, made sure there was no one around, then took out a hoe from the space, and reminded the dog to keep watch.
Use the hoe to dig, dig, and then shovel it down.
The bamboo shoots are very fresh, weighing about three or four pounds with the shell.
Dig, dig, and keep digging.
During this time, the dog made trouble and helped her dig with his claws.
"Go away, or you'll get your claws scratched."
Cola didn't listen and insisted on moving closer to the poop shoveler.
Jiang Ning deliberately frowned, "Coke, be careful or I'll beat you up!"
The dog behaved well now and went back to get some fresh air with his face down.
After a while, he scurried out.
This is how Malinois are, fighting, catching chickens, and they never have a moment to rest.
Ten minutes later, the dog came back with something bloody.
Wow, a fat rabbit was bitten with several holes in it. It must have been a very cruel bite.
Wash the rabbit, shake off the water, then throw it into the space, and throw two wild boar bones for it to chew on.
Jiang Ning worked tirelessly, picking up the hoe and swinging it vigorously...
That’s right, she took all the bamboo shoots from the entire bamboo forest.
How many delicious dishes can be made from hundreds of kilograms of bamboo shoots?
Stir-fried fresh bamboo shoots with bacon, pickled bamboo shoots with wild pepper, bamboo shoots with red oil and chili, pickled sour bamboo shoots, and sun-dried bamboo shoots.
Just thinking about it makes me drool.
After a short rest, Jiang Ning took out an electric saw and started cutting mature bamboo.
Soon, the old bamboos fell down in large numbers.
Jiang Ning couldn't say specifically what he wanted to do with the bamboo, but he always felt that he could use it in the future, such as building houses or sheds.
With the arrival of extreme cold, all the grass and trees on the mountain will freeze to death, and it will not be easy for them to grow again.
I cut down hundreds of bamboos and dug up the roots of more than a dozen old bamboos, intending to plant them in the space when I have free time.
Not only bamboo, but also wild grass, wild fruit seedlings, weeds, etc. on the mountain were pulled out.
Seeing that it was still early, they started cutting down trees again.
As time was running out, she did not cut off the branches, but threw the whole branches into the space. After drying, the branches could be used as firewood.
After cutting down dozens of trees, Jiang Ning would have continued to work hard if it hadn't gotten dark.
She was so tired that her whole body was falling apart, but she could feel everything in the space, which made her feel very at ease.
He picked up half a bundle of firewood and pretended to be there, then he took the dog and drove the speedboat back.
As soon as I got to the 18th floor, Doudou opened the door and rushed over, saying proudly, "Sister, I went to sell fish today."
Jiang Ning opened the door and let him in. "Have you sold the fish?"
"Yeah, Doudou sold 3 fish."
Jiang Ning praised, "Wow, our Doudou is really amazing."
Doudou dug his fingers and jumped up happily, "My brother also praised me."
After taking off the rain and changing clothes, Jiang Ning looked for cartoons for Doudou to entertain herself, but found scratches on her face, "What happened to your injury?"
Doudou felt a little aggrieved, "When I was eating candy, someone suddenly rushed over and snatched the candy from my mouth."
Jiang Ning frowned, "The candy was taken away?"
"Yeah, he picked it out of my mouth." Doudou's tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't help but complain, "That person's hands were so dirty and smelly. He even knocked Doudou down."
He touched his butt while saying, "It hurts."
"Where's your brother?"
"My brother is watching."
Jiang Ning didn't understand, "Then what?"
"The man stuffed the candy into his mouth, and my brother asked me to take it back."
Doudou didn't want to snatch the candy, but he didn't want to make his brother angry, so he pounced on it to grab the candy.
The boy refused to give it to him and raised his hand to hit Doudou. Doudou got so angry that he fought back and beat him up easily, leaving him with a black eye and a swollen face.
This was the first time Doudou had hit someone since he was a child. In the end, he picked the candy out of his mouth and gave the candy covered with saliva to his brother.
Huo Yishen didn't want it, but touched her head and said, "Doudou, you did a great job. You must protect your things in the future and don't let others bully you."
I didn't quite understand and was scared, but I didn't expect to get praised by my brother.
"Remember, I can't protect you forever. If you don't protect yourself, not only will your candy be taken away, but all the delicious food will be taken away. Then you will be like them, starving with a big head and a small body, dirty and smelly, and begging on the street."
Although those children didn't want to do that, the end of the world after a natural disaster is cruel.
Huo Yishen asked Doudou to look into the boy's eyes.
The child who was beaten had red eyes, as if he hated himself.
Doudou didn't understand. It was clearly him who stole his candy, which was wrong. Why didn't he admit his mistake and was so aggressive?
"Doudou, when people are starving to death, there is no right or wrong. If they think they can beat you, they will snatch things from you."
Huo Yishen carried his sister away and told her patiently, "Do you know why he was so mean to you?"
Doudou shook his head.
"Because you have new clothes to wear, delicious food to eat, and you don't have to starve, but he has nothing, so he will be jealous of you and want to steal your things."
"Brother, are they all like this?"
When she entered the market, Doudou felt many pairs of eyes like this, which made her inexplicably nervous and uneasy.
"Most of them are, but you can protect yourself with the moves my brother taught you, and no one will dare to bully you in the future."
