Chapter 059 It smells so good!
Rescuing people just now took a lot of time, so Wen Kexin must hurry up and go up the mountain to collect herbs.
On the mountain road, she saw many villagers picking mushrooms and collecting firewood.
An hour later, we finally reached the halfway point of the mountain.
It's quiet now, no one is around.
She then slowed down her pace and looked at both sides of the path.
Suddenly, she found a familiar-looking vine in the weeds, and her eyes lit up.
I walked over and pulled out the vine. I saw the little finger-sized beans appearing on the vine from time to time. I picked them off carefully with joy.
Then, he followed the vines to find the rhizomes, took out the hoe in the space, and started digging with great interest.
After digging out the rhizomes, it turned out to be wild yam.
I saw that this yam was about as thick as a child's arm and about one meter long.
Wen Kexin was overjoyed and immediately continued searching nearby. Soon she found a few more.
She cleaned a few yams and put them into the space, then continued to expand her search range.
At this time, a "cooing" sound came from the grass.
Wen Kexin suddenly became nervous. Was there a snake inside?
She was most afraid of those boneless mollusks. She held the hoe tightly in her hand and stared at the place where the sound came from.
Suddenly, something flew out from the grass at a very fast speed.
In a flash, she raised her hand and threw the hoe in her hand away without caring about anything.
With a "puff", something hit and fell down.
Looking closely, I found it was a female pheasant.
Very good!
She rushed over in surprise, grabbed the kicking pheasant, shook it in her hands, and felt that it weighed three or four pounds.
I grabbed some weeds nearby and tied up the pheasant's wings and claws.
Then, he happily went to pick up the grass where the pheasant flew away.
Soon we found more than twenty pheasant eggs piled together in the grass.
No wonder the pheasant was reluctant to leave, it turns out it was hatching eggs here.
I picked up a pheasant egg and shook it. Fortunately, the egg liquid did not shake, which meant that the egg had not been hatched for a few days.
She put the pheasant eggs in the backpack and put it into the space.
Kill the tied-up pheasant as well and put it into the space.
I found a clean-looking tree stump, sat down, ate two meat buns from the space, drank a bottle of purified water, and continued to look for wild yams nearby.
Not only did we find twenty or thirty yams, we also discovered a large area of chicken mushrooms.
This is good stuff!
The thought of chicken stewed with mushrooms makes my mouth water.
I decisively picked these chicken mushrooms and placed them on the eggs in the backpack.
Not long after, I found a dry tree more than one meter tall in front of me.
He decisively took out an axe and chopped down the dead tree, gathered the dry branches and trunk together, tied them up with a rope and put them into the space.
Seeing that it was getting late, he took the backpack out of the space, carried it on his back and went down the mountain.
If you have space but don't use it, you're a fool. It's better to put things like yam, pheasant, and firewood in the space to reduce weight.
Then, walk leisurely down the mountain.
I secretly planned in my mind that after eating the chicken stewed with mushrooms, I would steam and slice the yam while teaching in the evening.
Hang them up to dry tomorrow and then go for a walk in the mountains and forests. Maybe you will find unexpected gains.
When she was almost home and saw that there was no one around, she quickly took out the pheasant and yam firewood from the space and carried it.
I feel that it is quite heavy in my hand.
Then he walked into the yard.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back!"
Wang Qiaolian, who was cooking in the kitchen, came out in a hurry. Seeing her daughter coming back with a full load, she complained distressedly, "I thought you were at your husband's house. Why are you collecting firewood again?"
"Mom, I went to check and found that the Song family was fine, so I went up the mountain."
At this time, the two younger sisters and brother Ping'an also ran out.
The second sister was about to carry some firewood to the firewood pile when she found the yam and pheasant. She was immediately surprised and asked, "Sister, you caught a pheasant. What is this?"
Wen Kexin smiled and said, "This is called Chinese yam. Not only was I lucky, I also found a lot of pheasant eggs and picked a lot of chicken mushrooms."
Wang Qiaolian was overjoyed. "My eldest daughter is so lucky. By the way, what are yam used for?"
"Mom, yam has the effects of strengthening the spleen and stomach, moistening the lungs and relieving coughs. It is not only edible but also a medicinal material. Didn't I say I wanted to pick herbs? Today I just wanted to explore the mountains, but I didn't expect to find so many yams. After dinner, I will teach you how to process them. After drying them tomorrow, you can exchange them for money."
Wang Qiaolian saw her daughter take down the backpack and look at the mushrooms inside. She immediately became nervous and said, "Kexin, are you mistaken? This is not chicken mushroom, it's clearly dog urine moss. It's poisonous and can't be eaten."
"Mom, the chicken mushroom does look a lot like dog urine moss, but they are two different types of mushrooms. The roots of dog urine moss are very thin, while the roots of the chicken mushroom are thicker."
Wang Qiaolian said doubtfully, "Kexin, are you sure? This is a matter of life and death."
Wen Kexin was of course sure, and said firmly: "Mom, don't worry, we will make a dish of chicken stewed with mushrooms tonight, it will definitely taste delicious."
Only then did Wang Qiaolian put her worries aside.
More than an hour later, the chicken stewed with mushrooms was served.
The fragrance suddenly wafted out unrestrainedly, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the house.
So delicious!
"Everyone, feel free to eat it. It is said that the king of mushrooms, Coprinus comatus, tastes very delicious."
My family members usually pick mushrooms, but they are straw mushrooms and oil mushrooms. Even when we see chicken mushrooms in the mountains, we think they are dog urine moss. We have never eaten such delicious and premium mushrooms.
Just as everyone was about to pick up their chopsticks, they heard the sound of the door being slammed open.
Everyone in the family was at home and the door was not locked, but just ajar.
Who hit the door with such force? That's why it made such a loud noise?
Wang Qiaolian put down her chopsticks and walked out puzzledly.
For some reason, Wen Kexin always felt that the person who came was not friendly, so she followed her mother out.
My younger brother and sister had no appetite either, and followed out curiously.
When everyone walked into the yard, they found that it was Old Lady Wen who rushed in from outside with a gloomy face.
Although Wang Qiaolian was unhappy, she could only force a smile and said, "Mother-in-law, what's the matter?"
It turned out that these days, Old Lady Wen saw that the house was dirty everywhere and the food was tasteless. She didn't want to see the greedy and lazy eldest daughter-in-law, so she went to visit a few families in the village where she had good relations with.
Firstly, it was to relax; secondly, it was to scold Wen Jiancheng for being ignorant and dividing the family property, so that everyone would know that the beast was unfilial.
It was almost time for dinner, so Old Mrs. Wen came out of someone else's house and walked towards home.
When I passed by the gate of the second brother's house, I took a look at the neat thatched roof and suddenly remembered that I didn't get the advantage, and my mood suddenly became bad.
Suddenly, a strange fragrance wafted out from the yard.
She sniffed hard and smelled the scent of chicken.
Thinking of the wild vegetable porridge that I drink every day, the whole family of the ungrateful person actually eats chicken at home!
The anger in her heart exploded, and she slammed her shoulder against the door, rushing in so awkwardly that she almost fell to the ground.
After staggering, he finally stood firm and saw Wang Qiaolian coming out, followed by a few little wolf cubs.
Old Lady Wen looked over with resentful eyes and said angrily, "You ungrateful wolves, I don't know how much private money you have hidden away. After the separation, you used it to treat illnesses, build thatched roofs, and eat chickens. How could you not choke to death? I have been frugal for most of my life, but I can't bear to eat anything. You have no conscience..."
