Chapter 64: Grabbing Bamboo Shoots



I woke up naturally and hadn't 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 pickle it. I'll ask Grandma Zhong's house when the time comes."

1803 got two portions, but 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 some useful supplies.

Jiang Ning didn't want to join in the fun. "I plan to take Coke back to the villa in the middle of the mountain to see if it can catch rabbits or something."

The reservoir collapse was too dangerous, and Zhang Chao and Lu Yu were exhausted in the past two days. They didn't want to go.

So he knocked on the door of 1801 again. Huo Yishen agreed to go to the market, but he was just taking Doudou there to experience and let her get more exposure to the cruel world outside.

Poor Zheng Weili had to stay and continue to look after the house.

Just as she was about to go out, Grandma Zhong came up and knocked on the door, asking in a low voice whether the 18th floor was going to dig wild kudzu root?

Taking advantage of the 18th floor, the Zhong family got a lot of supplies, but who would complain about too much supplies?

This time it was God's pity, and there might not be another chance next time.

Aged wild kudzu root is as thick as a tree root, and ten pounds of roots may not produce one pound of powder.

Not to mention that it is half dead after digging, how to crush it and wash the powder is still a problem.

Kudzu root powder is good for beauty, but it tastes like paste, and it is not full after eating the roots.

All the people on the 18th floor who had food in their hands were idle, 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 set out with his dog.

They drove the sprint boat back to the reservoir, landed, and climbed toward another hill.

There was a dense bamboo forest on the other side of the mountain, which Jiang Ning accidentally discovered when he was observing with a telescope the day before yesterday.

Bamboo produces bamboo shoots in winter, commonly known as winter bamboo shoots, and now is the season for bamboo shoots.

Climbing along the mountain, just after crossing the col, a large area of ​​bamboo appeared in front of us. The soil blocks were cracked and scattered by the winter bamboo shoots, and some even had pointed heads. Bamboo shoots

, real bamboo shoots.

Jiang Ning took out the telescope, made sure there was no one around, and then took out the hoe from the space, and did not forget to remind the dog to keep watch.

Swing the hoe to dig, dig, and then shovel down.

The bamboo shoots were very fresh, weighing about three or four pounds with the shells.

Dig, dig, and dig non-stop.

During this time, the dog made a mess and used its claws to help her dig.

"Go aside, be careful not to dig your claws."

Kele didn't listen and went to the side of the shoveling shit.

Jiang Ning deliberately frowned, "Coke, be careful or I'll beat you up!"

The dog behaved well and went back to get some fresh air with his face drooping.

After a while, he slipped out.

This is how a Malinois is, fighting, catching chickens, and never having a moment to rest.

Ten minutes later, the dog came back with a bloody thing in its mouth.

Good guy, a fat wild rabbit was bitten with several holes, it must have been a very cruel bite.

Wash the rabbit and shake off the water, then throw it into the space, and throw two wild boar shank bones for it to chew.

Jiang Ning was not lazy at work. She picked up the hoe and swung it vigorously...

Yes, she had taken all the bamboo shoots in the entire bamboo forest.

How many delicacies can be made from hundreds of kilograms of bamboo shoots.

Fried fresh bamboo shoots with bacon, pickled bamboo shoots with wild pepper, bamboo shoots with red oil and chili, pickled sour bamboo shoots, and dried bamboo shoots.

Just thinking about it makes people drool.

After a short rest, Jiang Ning took out the electric saw and started to cut the mature bamboo.

Soon, the old bamboo fell in pieces.

Jiang Ning couldn't say specifically what she wanted to do with the bamboo, but she always felt that she could use it in the future, such as building a house or a shed.

With the arrival of extreme cold, all the grass and trees on the mountain will freeze to death, and it will not be so easy to grow them again.

She cut down hundreds of bamboos and dug up a dozen old bamboo roots, planning to plant them in the space when she has free time.

Not only bamboos, but also wild grasses, wild fruit seedlings, herbal medicines, etc. on the mountain.

Seeing that it was still early, she started to cut down trees again.

Time was running out, so she didn't cut off the branches, but threw them into the space as a whole, and after drying them, the branches could be used as firewood.

After cutting down dozens of trees, if it hadn't been dark, Jiang Ning would have wanted to continue fighting.

She was so tired that she was exhausted, but she could feel everything in the space, which made her feel very at ease.

She picked up half a bundle of firewood to pretend, and took the dog back in the assault boat.

Just after reaching 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 her in, "Did you sell the fish?"

"Yes, Doudou sold 3 fish."

Jiang Ning praised, "Wow, our Doudou is really amazing."

Doudou dug her fingers and jumped up happily, "Brother also praised me."

After taking off the rain and changing clothes, Jiang Ning found 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 snatched away?"

"Well, he took the candy out of my mouth." Doudou's tears welled up, and he couldn't help complaining, "That guy's hands were so dirty, and he stinked, and he knocked Doudou down."

He touched his butt as he spoke, "It hurts so much."

"Where's your brother?"

"My brother was watching."

Jiang Ning didn't understand, "Then what happened?"

"That guy stuffed the candy into his mouth, and my brother asked me to snatch it back."

Doudou didn't want to snatch it, but he didn't want to make his brother angry, so he rushed over to grab the candy.

The boy refused to give it to him, and even raised his hand to hit Doudou. Doudou got so angry that he hit him back, and easily beat him up.

This was the first time Doudou had hit someone since he was a child, and in the end he took the candy out of his mouth and gave the candy full of 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."

He seemed to understand, but was afraid. He didn't expect to be praised by his brother.

"Remember, I can't protect you for your whole life. 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, hungry 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 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 obviously him who took his candy, which was wrong. Why didn't he admit his mistake and was so fierce?

"Doudou, when people are starving to death, there is no right or wrong. They think they can beat you, so they will snatch things from you."

Huo Yishen hugged his sister and left, and told her very patiently, "Do you know why he is so fierce to you?"

Doudou shook her head.

"Because you have new clothes to wear, good food to eat, and don't have to be hungry, but he has nothing, so he will be jealous of you and want to steal your things."

"Brother, are they all like this?"

Entering the market, Doudou felt many pairs of eyes like this, which made her inexplicably nervous and uneasy.

"Most of them are, but you can use the moves your brother taught you to protect yourself, and no one will dare to bully you in the future."
