Lin Yunchu looked in the direction Lin Changan pointed, and it seemed to be wood ear mushrooms, so he ran after Lin Changan.
When she ran closer and confirmed that it was wood ear mushrooms, Lin Changan started picking them.
With so many fungus ears, it’s not a complete loss today when I went into the mountains.
Lin Yunchu was overjoyed. He put down his backpack and started picking fruits together with Lin Changan.
When the three of them went down the mountain, their backpacks were filled with a lot of mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and wood ear mushrooms, as well as a lot of ferns that Lin Yunchu had discovered.
The backpack was full, so Lin Yunchu found a vine and picked a lot of food, enough for them to eat for two days.
This fern is fresh and refreshing, and it is an extremely delicious wild vegetable. If you can't finish it, you can dry it and make it into dried vegetables for later consumption.
Lin Yunchu thought that he would have to bring an extra basket when he went into the mountains tomorrow and pick as much as he could. After this season was over, there would be nothing left to eat.
Today, Lin's father and his two companions came back from the fields early. Seeing that Lin Yunchu and the other two had not returned yet, they couldn't help but feel worried.
"Why haven't the three of them returned yet? They should be back by this time normally."
"It should be soon. Maybe it was delayed by something new."
Lin's mother understood Lin Yunchu's personality quite well. Whenever Lin Yunchu came across something new, he would pick some and bring it back, and it would always be later than usual.
Father Lin was a little worried and kept blaming himself for not going into the mountains with them. He was planning to go out of the hospital to take a look.
Then they heard the courtyard door creak open. The first person to enter was Lin Changting, followed by Lin Yunchu and Lin Changan who quickly walked into the courtyard.
Father Lin was completely relieved to see that the three people were safe and sound. He quickly asked, "Why did you come back so late today? What happened?"
After putting down the backpack on his back, Lin Yunchu responded with a smile:
"Of course not! When we were going down the mountain, my brother found a nest of pheasant eggs in the bushes. We'll have pheasant eggs to eat tonight."
Although we didn't find any pheasants, we picked up several pheasant eggs, enough for a dinner in the evening. The pheasant eggs fried with wild garlic or shepherd's purse are very fragrant.
As Lin Yunchu spoke, he lifted the wild vegetables on the top of the backpack, revealing seven or eight round pheasant eggs, which looked very pleasing to the eye.
When Lin Changshun heard that several people had picked up pheasant eggs, he immediately became interested and came forward to watch with great interest.
Lin Changan put down the backpack and told his father and Lin Changshun about his elder brother seeing pheasant eggs.
"We had already picked up a basket full of mushrooms and were walking back. The dead leaves made the road slippery, and my brother almost fell. Unexpectedly, he saw the round pheasant eggs shining white in the bushes..."
Lin Changting looked at his younger brother's vivid description and smiled helplessly. However, he was indeed a little anxious today and walked a little too fast, and almost fell down.
However, it was because of this surprise that I unexpectedly discovered this nest of pheasant eggs. It was a coincidence.
Mother Lin left some food for the three of them. After Lin Yunchu finished eating, he began to process the mountain products he had picked today in the yard.
After cleaning, I kept a handful of ferns and mushrooms, and processed the rest and dried them in the yard.
After processing all the mountain products, Lin Yunchu took a vegetable basket and a small hoe and planned to go outside to dig some wild vegetables for dinner.
Lin Changting took Lin Changshun and Lin Changan with him and went to the creek to catch fish with their fishing baskets.
Several people went out together. Lin Yunchu did not go far. He followed Lin Changting and others to dig some wild garlic and shepherd's purse by the river.
I don’t know if it’s because Lin Changting is particularly good at catching fish, but by the time Lin Yunchu finished digging up the wild vegetables, the three of them had already caught eight or nine fish.
Thinking that the only thing left tonight seems to be the uncooked pork liver from yesterday, it’s just right to make some fish soup and add some mushrooms. The soup will be very delicious.
When the Lin family children were on their way back carrying buckets of water and a basket of wild vegetables, many people saw them and started talking about it.
"Then the Lin family must be starving to death, even eating the fish in the river."
"What kind of things did Yunchu dig up? Her mother is really a fool. She let the child dig it out by herself. How can those things be eaten?"
"A few years ago, my kid was so hungry he caught some fish in the river. I thought he'd be able to eat them if I cooked them, so I did. Oh, they tasted really fishy. I don't know what the Lin family was doing with them."
Many people in the village don't know how to cook fish. Without removing the fishy smell, the fish has an earthy smell. Unless people are really starving, no one would eat the fish from the river.
If Lin Yunchu knew what they were thinking behind the scenes, he would be even happier. This way, there would be more fish in the river than he could eat, and he could just go to the river and catch fish whenever he wanted to.
When Lin Yunchu and his companions returned to the Lin family, they only saw Lin's mother doing needlework in the yard, and no one knew where Lin's father had gone.
"Mom, where did Dad go?"
Lin Changting and the others were not at home, and they probably hadn't gone to the fields. Father Lin always had work in his eyes and was always busy.
He was either working in the fields or doing carpentry work at home. The stools and chairs in the house were all made by Lin's father.
Although I hadn't mastered carpentry when I first started learning it, I was still able to make some furniture for my own home.
These days, I have bought a lot of things for Lin Yunchu's room, including hangers for clothes, shelves for things...
Everything was made according to Lin Yunchu's instructions. Lin Yunchu was very satisfied with it. It was exactly what he wanted.
"Your father took some mushrooms and eggs to your uncle's house, thinking of giving them a taste as well."
Lin Yunchu nodded. The eggs that his cousin Lin Cuizhi brought last time had not been finished yet, so it was just right to take them back to them.
The situation at my uncle's house isn't very good either, and those eggs must have been stored for a long time.
Speaking of eggs, Lin Yunchu thought for a moment and started chatting with Lin's mother.
"Mom, is there anyone in our village who has chicks?"
When Mother Lin heard this, she thought it was just a casual question from Lin Yunchu, and responded without even raising her head:
"Aunt Wu has some at home. Anyone in our village who wants to raise chickens goes to her house to buy them."
When Lin Yunchu heard that there were people in Qingxi Village who were raising chicks, he was immediately delighted and said to Lin's mother, "Why don't we go catch a few and raise them at home?"
Hearing Lin Yunchu's words, Mother Lin paused for a moment, stopped her needlework, raised her head, and repeated to Lin Yunchu, "Shall we go catch a few too?"
Lin Yunchu nodded and said, "Yes, we only have one old hen now, and we have to take care of it every day. Why not catch a few more and raise them together? Our backyard will be more lively."
Moreover, the Lin family now has the conditions. If Lin Yunchu was not afraid of attracting too much attention, he would have wanted to raise two more piglets.
