Nongmen eldest sister: Farming and opening shops

Chapter 27 Wild Fruits

When Lin Qinghe came home with a basket of wild fruits on his back, Lin Qingsong immediately came forward to help take the basket.

"Sister, you are back, what kind of fruit is this?"

"I don't know what kind of fruit it is. The sweet and sour taste is not bad. I ate several in one go. You should try it too."

Hearing the voice, Lin Qingbai also walked out of the house slowly. He had an injury on his stomach, and when he walked, he would pull on the injured area, causing some pain. He didn't dare to walk too fast.

"Sister, you're back." Looking at Lin Qinghe, there was joy in his expression.

Lin Qinghe looked at him and smiled: "I'm back, now you can feel at ease!"

Hearing this, Lin Qingbai nodded: "Sister, it's not safe in the mountains, so don't go there in the future!" Since she entered the mountains, he has been worried, afraid that something will happen to her.

"Don't worry, I didn't go deep into the mountains. I just walked around the periphery and walked all the way. I didn't even meet a small animal. Otherwise, I could catch it and give you some meat."

"Actually, it's okay not to eat meat." Lin Qingbai said with his head bowed.

"Since there is no danger, next time the elder sister will take me into the mountains together." Lin Qingsong said quickly, the elder sister was the only one at home, and he wanted to help.

Lin Qinghe made the two of them speechless for a long time, thought about it seriously, and nodded: "Okay, you can go into the mountains with me tomorrow, these fruits are edible, and we can pick them up and eat them at home. These fruits cannot be sold at a high price in the county."

People in this era still regard decent food as more valuable. No one likes to buy wild fruits and the like, and they think it is not worth it.

Otherwise, with the wild fruits in the back mountain, she could have sold a large sum of money. Thinking about it this way made her feel even more regretful.

"If we can't sell it for a higher price, we can eat it at home. If we eat more fruits, we can also eat less grain." Lin Qingsong said indifferently, since they are all eaten anyway, and if they can't be sold, they can eat at home.

Lin Qinghe was a little amused when he heard the words: "No matter how delicious something is, if you eat it every day, you will get tired of eating it. This fruit is not a serious food. Eating too much may not be good for your health. It's okay to eat a few occasionally. "

He stuffed a fruit into each of their hands, then packed a basket, filled it with a dozen fruits, and handed it to Lin Qingsong.

"Send this fruit to Aunt Osmanthus. I usually eat her food and don't have anything good to return. This fruit looks pretty good. Let's send a few."

Tang Guihua is indeed a warm-hearted person, and she has helped them a lot during this time. Although Lin Dazhuang is because of what happened to her family's pillar, it's just one yard for one.

Lin Qingsong went out with the basket, and Lin Qinghe took two more fruits into the house, and gave them to Lin Qingmiao who was sitting on the bed and couldn't get off the ground.

When Lin Qingmiao saw the bright red fruit, she immediately reached out to take it with a smile on her face: "I thought you guys forgot about me."

Lin Qinghe couldn't help smiling, she could forget that such a freshman was at home, so she glanced at her and asked, "What are you doing when I'm not at home?"

"Third brother is teaching me to read, I'll read to you!"

Immediately, he straightened his back and coughed twice: "Clouds are against rain, snow is against wind, evening sunshine is against clear sky, coming and going is against geese, birds are against singing insects..."

He has a good memory, and he read a long passage without even stopping, obviously he remembered it in his heart.

Can't help but praise: "You read it well, obviously I studied it seriously from your third brother."

After being praised, she couldn't help but feel a little complacent: "I'm just a daughter, if I'm a man, if I study hard for a few days, I might be able to get a job in the exam, but it's a pity, why did God mistakenly give birth to me as a daughter. "

This is a bit exaggerated, Lin Qinghe smiled: "There is no other way, you can only reason with God."

Lin Qingbai stood behind, listening to the two of them talking to each other, with an expression on his face that he couldn't bear to look directly at.

"Qing Miao, you can just talk about this at home. No one in your family will laugh at you, but you can't talk about it outside, otherwise you can't read a single word. People laughed out loud."

"Third brother, I don't want to hear what you said." She folded her hands on her chest and turned her head to her face, showing that she was angry.

Lin Qinghe didn't bother to deal with the lawsuit between the brothers and sisters, so he said: "You two can study in the room. I will wash those fruits and cut them into pieces to make candied fruits. It would be best if they can be sold for money. I’ll leave it for you to make snacks.”

When Lin Qingbai heard this, he put the book next to Lin Qingmiao in front of Lin Qingmiao: "You read in the room by yourself, and I will help the elder sister, such a big basket of fruit, washing and cutting, how long does it take for one person to get it. "

"In this weather, you don't have to dry your clothes after washing. How can the fruit be dried? I'm afraid they won't get moldy!" Lin Qingmiao said.

If you ask her, this fruit is sour and sweet, it's so delicious, you can eat it with a few bites, what else can you do with preserved fruit, it doesn't have to be moldy and spoiled, what a waste to eat and throw away.

Lin Qinghe turned back and said: "I can understand better than you. If this fruit is really just dried, then it is almost as you said. In addition to drying, we can also dry it!"

"Ah, it can be baked with fire!" She obviously didn't expect this.

"That's why I told you to read more books to see how slow your brain is, and people are not smart anymore." Lin Qingbai took the opportunity to teach her a lesson.

Lin Qingmiao left him speechless, she just didn't think of it for a while, why it has something to do with whether she is smart or not.

Seeing that the two of them were busy with business, she had nothing to do alone, so she really picked up the book beside her and read it carefully.

Lin Qingbai said that she didn't know a single character, but she was wrong. She actually knew quite a few characters these days, so it wasn't that she didn't know a single character.

Lin Qinghe worked very neatly, rolled up his sleeves, took out the wooden basin, scooped up a few scoops of water, put the fruit in the basin and cleaned it.

"You are weak, and you are still taking medicine, so don't touch the cold water, take a knife and cut it next to it, just cut slowly and don't cut your hands."

Lin Qingbai didn't say much. He moved a stool and sat next to him, carefully cutting the fruit with a knife, and raised his head from time to time to ask about the size and size. Can't get up anytime soon.

"Sister, are there a lot of fruits in the back mountain?"

"Well, there are so many fruits in several acres of land, many birds eat them, and a lot of them are dropped on the ground. It seems like a waste. When my father and I went into the mountains before, we were always worried that the fruits were poisonous, and there were not many of them. Take a look..."

This is what Dr. Zhao often reminded them, saying that the more beautiful the fruit, the more likely it is poisonous, so they should not touch it easily. If they eat this poisonous thing, they may die. Because their father and daughter don't understand it, they are more likely to eat it. taboo.

Now there is no way to move the idea of ​​these fruits, the prey in the mountains is not so easy to hunt, there are opportunities, and the risk is greater, if you can’t catch the prey, you can only find a way elsewhere.
