Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, Haohao is about to turn one year old.
That day, Deng Qingling got up early in the morning. Thinking that she hadn't been to the mountains for a long time, and seeing that the weather had been good in the past few days, she decided to go into the mountains.
"Mom, there's not much to do in the fields these days. I plan to go into the mountains today. You stay at home and take care of Haohao."
Liang Xueying said, "Be careful, remember not to go into the mountains!"
Deng Qingling nodded without saying anything, picked up the bamboo basket and went out, intending to walk from the back mountain to the depths of the mountain. When she passed the outskirts of the mountain, she saw several villagers picking mountain products and collecting firewood.
There is not much work to do in the fields now, so it would be nice to go up the mountain to pick some mountain products and sell them to the purchasing station. Even a little bit counts.
Deng Qingling walked inside for another hour and didn't see anyone or any large animals. She only saw a few pheasants and rabbits occasionally.
Unfortunately, it can only be put into the space within half a meter. The pheasant and hare ran very fast. Just after I saw it, it disappeared in just a few seconds. I couldn't catch it even if I wanted to.
Seeing that there was no one around, I knew I had entered the deep mountains. I felt a little scared, so I went into the space and found an agricultural sickle.
The further you go inside, the denser the trees become, blocking out the sunlight and creating a somewhat eerie feeling.
Deng Qingling found a slightly open place and sat down to rest. Just as she took a sip of water, she heard a "grunting" sound.
I quickly turned my head and saw a wild boar leaning against a tree not far away, rubbing its skin against it. It seemed that its skin was itchy and it was rubbing against it.
Seeing such a big wild boar, Deng Qingling was so nervous that she broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that it would discover her. She stood up carefully, held the sickle tightly, and took two cautious steps back. She accidentally stepped on a dead branch and scared the wild boar.
Hearing the sound, the wild boar turned around vigilantly and saw Deng Qingling standing there alone, and ran towards her frantically.
Deng Qingling was so scared that her legs went weak. The moment the wild boar pounced on her, she was so scared that she waved the sickle in her hands wildly. Before she could react, the wild boar fell to the ground.
When she heard the sound of the wild boar falling to the ground, she realized that her hands were empty and the sickle in her hand had been stabbed into the wild boar's aorta.
Seeing the wild boar lying motionless on the ground, her heart suddenly relaxed.
Then I remembered that I had a space, so I put the wild boar into the space and changed my clothes in the space. I wanted to eat something to calm my nerves, so I found a cup of milk tea and spicy strips. Sure enough, milk tea and spicy strips made people happy.
After eating and drinking, Deng Qingling remembered what to do with the wild boar. She didn't know how to kill a pig, and it would probably scare people to death if she took it out.
Besides, this is something I risked my life to get, and I don’t want to share it with everyone. I’d better let it lie in the space first. It won’t go bad anyway.
As soon as he came out of the space, he saw movement in the bushes not far away. Deng Qingling took out the sickle again, walked over quickly, and chopped it with the sickle. When he looked down, he saw a pheasant with a severed head. It turned out that the pheasant was incubating eggs. No wonder it was so easy to catch.
Deng Qingling picked up the dismembered pheasant and saw the pheasant eggs in its nest. She counted twelve eggs. If she had known it was incubating, she would have stored them directly in the space! There would have been an endless supply of pheasants in the future. She blamed herself for being too quick.
Deng Qingling put the pheasant and pheasant eggs into the space with regret, then walked around, picked a lot of mushrooms, fungus, and found Ganoderma lucidum. She directly dug out the dead tree stump and put it into the space.
After going up the mountain for so long, it's time to go home. When I reached the outskirts of the mountain, I took the pheasant and pheasant eggs out of the space and put them in the backpack. I also tore some grass and leaves to cover the pheasant. I didn't see anyone else along the way. I guess the villagers had already gone home for dinner.
When Deng Qingling returned home, she found the house quiet. It turned out that Liang Xueying had taken Haohao back to the room for a nap, and there was still some food left in the pot.
After lunch, Deng Qingling picked out the mushrooms and fungus, put them in a large winnowing basket and put them in the yard to dry.
Then I went to the kitchen to boil water, kill the chicken, and pluck its feathers. I chopped the pheasant into pieces, put it into the pot with cold water, and skimmed off the foam after the water boiled. I went to the yard, washed a few mushrooms, and put them into the pot. Of course, I didn't forget to cover the edge of the pot lid with a wet towel to prevent the smell from wafting away.
After the water boils, remove some firewood and turn to low heat to simmer. Simmer until the evening, then add salt, wolfberry, ginger and pepper when it is almost ready.
Pheasant mushroom soup is delicious and nutritious. It has the effects of replenishing qi, promoting salivation and quenching thirst. It can also improve general fatigue caused by qi and blood deficiency. The vitamin E in pheasant soup can play an anti-aging role.
It has the effect of improving uterine prolapse, rectal prolapse, and gastroptosis caused by the sinking of Qi in the middle. (Baidu)
Deng Qingling cooked corn and mixed grain rice and fried some sweet potato leaves thinking that she would have pheasant meat to eat.
Dinner was ready before dark. Liang Xueying sat at the table holding Haohao. Deng Qingling had just brought out the dishes when she saw Guo Youxing go home.
"Dad, it's great that you're back. Go wash your hands so we can have dinner."
"Yeah." Guo Youxing nodded.
"Brother Xing, go and bring out the chicken soup. Aqing caught a pheasant today and we'll have pheasant tonight." Liang Xueying was afraid that the chicken soup was too hot and her daughter-in-law couldn't hold it, so she asked Guo Youxing to bring it.
The food was ready. Deng Qingling took out the pheasant meat and placed it on the sweet potato leaves to make it easier for everyone to pick it up. She then served three bowls of rice and some chicken thigh meat for Haohao.
While eating, Liang Xueying suddenly remembered what day tomorrow was. Tomorrow is the sixth day of the fourth lunar month, and Haohao will be one year old.
"Tomorrow is the sixth day of April. Our Haohao is one year old."
"How should we celebrate it?" Deng Qingling was not very clear about the customs here. They didn't care about the hundredth day and one year old celebrations, they only cared about the full moon banquet.
"No need to do anything. Just a carp and some steamed brown sugar cake."
