Jianshu took a walk around the yard for a while, and when his stomach wasn't so full anymore, he went to bed for a nap.
After waking up, I went into the kitchen carrying a backpack and basket filled with mushrooms, wild vegetables and fruits. The mushrooms I picked couldn't just be left alone, they had to be dried in the sun so they could be stored for a long time.
First, clean the mushrooms briefly, then take out two large bamboo sieves and pour all the mushrooms on them to dry.
Jianshu looked up at the sun and moved the bamboo sieve to the front yard. The backyard was used for growing vegetables, so the remaining space was not large. The front yard was more spacious.
It just rained yesterday. It looks like it will be sunny in the next few days. With the strong sun, these mushrooms will be dried thoroughly in two or three days. I wonder how many mushrooms can be dried out using these two bamboo sieves.
These are pure, natural wild mushrooms, and there are many varieties, including shiitake mushrooms, hazel mushrooms, black fungus, morels... Among them, there are also rare ones. In later generations, even if you have money, it is difficult to buy the real thing, because most of them are artificially cultivated.
Now that I have the opportunity, Jianshu will certainly not miss it. I will save some space and save it for later.
Otherwise, in the future, as the mountains and forests are developed and the environment is damaged, the area where wild mushrooms can grow becomes smaller, coupled with various factors such as environmental pollution and climate change, it will be impossible to imagine all kinds of mushrooms popping up like raindrops after a heavy rain as it is now.
Thinking about the heavy rain yesterday, Jianshu plans to go to the city again in a few days.
The bumper mushroom harvest is definitely not limited to their area. Those people in the mountains must have had an even bigger harvest. They certainly have no shortage of this kind of mountain delicacy, but the same cannot be said for other things.
It is inevitable to sell these and exchange them for money, but these days selling them to the purchasing station will not bring any money at all. Someone has to use their brains. When the time comes, she will go to the black market, and I think she should be able to get a lot.
In addition to mushrooms, other wild delicacies are also her targets, such as pecans, hazelnuts, chestnuts, etc. She accepts them all.
Buy more, keep some for yourself, and send some to the elders on both sides. Don't forget Pan Ning, Li Li, Ding Ming and others. You also have to send some to the eldest brother of the Gu family. If you calculate it this way, there won't be enough to share if you don't buy more.
As I was thinking, before I even got the wild delicacies, Jianshu had already made a list of gifts.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, so I can send it back as a holiday gift.
Jianshu was feeling a little depressed as he was lost in thought.
After a while, he patted his cheeks, stood up and walked to the backyard.
She couldn't think about it anymore. She was afraid that if she continued, she would burst into tears. She had to find something to do.
When I thought of the piles of ripe fruits and vegetables in the vegetable garden, I had an idea.
Before the vegetables were fully grown, I had to go to the next door to pick whatever I wanted to eat. I was a bit annoyed by going there every day. Fortunately, the vegetables at home finally grew a while ago, and it became much more convenient to eat them.
But I don’t know if it’s because of the space seeds, although Jianshu doesn’t know how to farm and doesn’t usually take care of the vegetable garden carefully, the vegetables and fruits in her vegetable garden grow more lushly than those in other families’ carefully tended gardens, and the harvest is also greater.
Every time Wu Xiufang came to visit our home, she was amazed by the vegetable garden and couldn't help but ask Jianshu for advice, asking her if she had any exclusive secret recipe and if she could teach her.
But where did Jianshu get any exclusive secret recipes? She even learned how to grow vegetables on the spot, just reciting from a book. So she could only laugh it off and fool Wu Xiufang by saying a couple of tricks from the book.
Fortunately, there were not many people visiting the house, and no one else noticed it except Wu Xiufang. Moreover, although the vegetables in the vegetable garden grew a little lush, they were not enough to arouse suspicion. After Wu Xiufang asked about it, she never mentioned it again, otherwise Jianshu would not have dared to plant it again.
Now is the harvest season for the vegetable garden. Eggplants, beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini... the backyard is full of fruits.
But there are only two of us at home, and we definitely can't finish all the dishes no matter how much we eat. We have to deal with them quickly, otherwise they will be wasted.
What needs to be dried should be dried, what needs to be pickled should be pickled, what needs to be stored in the cellar should be stored in the cellar, and what needs to be made into sauce should be made into sauce. All of this needs to be done quickly.
Jianshu went to the yard with a large basket on her shoulder. It had rained heavily yesterday, and the vegetable patch was now wet. At this moment, she had to be proud of her foresight.
If she hadn't picked up stones and paved paths when she first cultivated the vegetable garden, she would definitely have been covered in mud every time she stepped on it.
I was picking beans when I heard loud calls from the front yard, "Beautiful sister—beautiful sister—"
Hearing this familiar name, Jianshu knew who was coming without even having to guess.
Apart from Tiedan, no one calls her that.
"I'm at home, come in!" She kept moving her hands and shouted towards the front.
Not long after, the sound of footsteps was heard, and soon, a figure appeared at the kitchen door.
"Beautiful sister, the young lady and I are here to play with you!" Tiedan moved aside slightly, revealing a familiar figure.
Jian Shu looked up and smiled when he saw the person coming, "Yaya is here too."
"Hello, Aunt Shu." Yaya was not as casual as her brother. She greeted Jianshu politely.
Seeing the name coming out of the well-behaved little girl's mouth, Jian Shu's smiling mouth froze and twitched almost imperceptibly.
Aunt...
This title is really frustrating.
In fact, this helplessness was the best result she had gotten after all her efforts. You know, in the beginning, Yaya always called her aunt.
