Su Nanxi took Gao Yuling on a wild adventure in the deep mountains, catching whatever they encountered and picking up whatever they liked!
Anyway, the main thing is to have fun!
Before these people came here, very few people had ever come up this mountain. Later, when they heard that they could make money, they gradually started to come to the mountain!
However, they didn't dare to venture too far inside; they didn't have the guts. They mostly stayed on the periphery, which meant that all the good stuff outside had been taken. If they wanted to find anything good, Su Nanxi and the others had to go further inside.
"Susu! Doesn't this look like the vine of He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum)? It looks quite similar to me, but why isn't it?"
"Su Su! There are lots of wild vegetables here, and these mushrooms are pretty good too, they're everywhere! Let's pick them all! Doesn't the Mo family need to make breakfast? These will all come in handy! We can pick them, process them, and save money by not having to buy them, isn't that great!"
"SuSu! I want to eat beggar's chicken! Oh, and if you have suckling pig, lamb would be fine too! Ugh! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water! I can't take it anymore! The more I think about it, the hungrier I get! Or maybe roast duck would be okay too!"
"Hey Susu, why are you cutting these branches? Oh! You want to use them to fence off your vegetable garden, and also to provide shade and keep you warm? Great! I'll help you! I can't just eat for free!"
Gao Yuling chattered incessantly the whole way, and Su Nanxi got tired of answering, so she simply responded with "uh-huh" and "yeah".
There's no way around it, this girl just has so much energy. Since she wants to help chop tree branches, then let her do it. She won't stop talking unless she uses up some of her energy.
Arriving on the mountain felt like a bird returning to the forest, to its long-lost homeland; it was so welcoming that I couldn't stop chattering!
Kao Yu-ling really put in a lot of effort to help, not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and wielded the big knife to chop.
Seeing how diligent she was, Su Nanxi decided to reward her handsomely.
So, with Gao Yuling's excited attention, they caught some wild animals, so many that the group could barely carry them!
Didn't you say you wanted to eat grilled food?
So let's just grant her wish today!
Let her eat her fill all at once, hmm, she might get tired of it!
When Grandma Mo saw that the group had returned, she came out to greet them. She thought that they would definitely not return empty-handed. Every time Su Su went out, she would come back with a full load. There was never a time when she returned empty-handed!
When I came out, I was almost shocked. These people were covered in things!
Anyone who didn't know better would think they were refugees from somewhere!
If it were a matter of convenience on one's head, it would probably be a basket balanced on one's head!
Grandma Mo was speechless, heartbroken, and happy all at the same time!
Old Mo was called out and helped them unload their belongings.
"Okay! You just want some barbecue! I'll arrange it right away!"
Grandma Mo finally understood why these people had brought so much back: they were craving barbecue and wanted to eat as much as they wanted!
What's so difficult about that!
They had been fleeing the famine, and they had grilled a lot of meat along the way. They had mastered the art of grilling meat; they were very skilled and fast!
Grandma Mo started ordering Grandpa Mo around, since no one else was home!
"Dongmei and Qiushuang, go to the field and cut some chives. Jiarong, go and wash them all clean! Old man, is the meat marinated? Is the charcoal ready?"
Grandma Mo kept calling out.
The Mo family courtyard became lively, with everyone busy at work. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a festival, with some big event going on!
"Susu, we've never cooked roast suckling pig before, and we're not very familiar with roast lamb either, so we're afraid we won't make it taste good! You'll have to do these, and I'll help you out!"
Grandma Mo only knows how to grill simple meat; she can't do anything more complicated or larger because she's worried she won't do it well and it would be a waste. So she can only let Su Nanxi do it herself.
Su Nanxi doesn't know how either!
She was also at her wit's end!
But that didn't stump her. She just did it. If it didn't taste good, it wouldn't be a big deal.
"Sister! I've seen other people roast suckling pig!"
Seeing Su Nanxi looking troubled, Xiao Liu suddenly said something.
Su Nanxi's eyes lit up, "Okay! I'll prepare the suckling pig, and you can help watch the fire and roast it slowly!"
Xiao Liu was very happy and nodded in agreement.
Since arriving here, he has not gone out with others and has stayed in the Mo family compound. Knowing how difficult life is, he cherishes it very much. He always volunteers to do any chores he can, not wanting others to think he is useless and a freeloader!
But he doesn't show off; he keeps a low profile, doesn't talk much, and tries to minimize his presence.
He was very good at making straw sandals, and he made many different styles. He would bury himself in making them whenever he had free time. After he had made a certain number, he asked Su Nanxi to help him sell them when Su Nanxi returned.
Su Nanxi initially offered to help, but then she thought that selling it would be a good learning experience, so she refused to help anymore. She took Xiao Liu directly to the city and let Xiao Liu find a way to sell it himself!
Xiao Liu was initially afraid and timid. He had never seen so many people before, and they were all dressed very nicely. He knew his background well and felt inferior.
Later, encouraged by Su Nanxi, he gradually mustered up the courage to try selling straw sandals.
Having seen and experienced more, he was no longer so afraid, and his personality became more cheerful.
How much money he made wasn't the point; the important thing was that he learned a lot!
I definitely got some training!
He also knew that Su Nanxi had specially trained him, so even though he felt it was difficult, he didn't say he wouldn't do it!
Later, an uncle who sold things with him told him that he was so lucky to have such a good sister!
We went to great lengths to give him a skill and to ensure he could be independent and self-reliant in the future!
The uncle was filled with envy and kept lamenting that if he had such a person behind him, supporting and helping him like that, he probably wouldn't be doing so badly!
After saying that, he told Xiao Liu to cherish it, because not everyone would be so good to him!
Xiao Liu wholeheartedly agreed. If it weren't for his sister, he probably would have died in the thatched hut by now, and he wouldn't be in this state now!
He really should cherish this opportunity, and when he has the ability in the future, he should repay his sister even more!
If his sister needs him, he will rush to her aid without hesitation!
Now that his sister trusts him so much, he naturally can't let her down!
"Su Su! The frame is done! It should be sturdy enough! I did it according to your requirements, you can rest assured that I can handle things well!" Gao Yuling shouted.
Su Nanxi went over and checked it. "Hmm! It's fine! Let's prepare the firewood!"
When it comes to making food, Kao Yu-ling is full of energy and doesn't feel tired no matter what she does!
The fact that the Mo family was having a barbecue behind closed doors couldn't be kept secret at all; ah, the aroma was just too tempting!
The fragrance couldn't be contained; it wafted out from far away!
The villagers of Changna Village are very familiar with it. They have eaten it many times before. They can tell it is barbecue just by smelling it, and they can also roughly guess what is being barbecued!
But the local residents have never eaten it before; they only know that it smells incredibly delicious!
"Is that coming from the Mo family courtyard? Are they going to hold a banquet?"
