Dressed as a villain's wife

Chapter 6 The Great Harvest

Probably because it didn't rain, these straw mushrooms were a little smaller than what she saw in her last life.

Mushrooms have great requirements on humidity. Since there are mushrooms on the east mountain, it proves that there must be water here!
At first, she thought that she was thinking too much, but these straw mushrooms made her sure that there must be water in the depths of Dongshan Mountain. .

The sun was already in the sky, Nanzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and beckoned the dog to sit down and rest for a while.

The sweet potatoes at home were gone, so she cooked a bowl of chestnuts this morning, which was their lunch.

It's a pity that there are too many fallen leaves on this mountain, and I dare not light a fire, otherwise I can roast mushrooms to eat.

Thinking of the white-roasted mushrooms without chili noodles, Nanzhi trembled, forget it.

She may not be able to eat it even if it is cooked. If it is half-baked, they may not starve to death, but they will die of food poisoning, vomiting, diarrhea and collapse.

The two of them rested for a while and started digging up tree roots. They actually picked up a lot of straw mushrooms one after another. The dog was luckier, and often found several mushrooms under a tree. .

After rummaging and searching, all the way to the deep mountain, Nanzhi suddenly came back to his senses when he saw the tree trunk which was obviously thicker than the outside.

This is already the deep entrance of Dongshan.

Hurry up and lead the excited dog back.

"Aniang, why don't we go in?" The dog was happily picking up mushrooms. He found a lot of mushrooms, and he and Aniang would not be hungry for a long time.

"Dog, remember, no one can take you up the mountain except A Niang." Nan Zhi stopped and looked at Gou'er seriously.

"Okay." Gou'er looked at his mother's serious look and nodded.

On the way back to the chestnut tree, Nanzhi also found a clump of wild garlic, which almost didn't make her jump for joy.

This can be regarded as the third seasoning at home!
Although no water source was found, seeing that even the dog's small pan was filled with purslane, Nan Zhi was almost happy.

She said that it was impossible for her to be a non-chief forever, even if Feng Shui took turns, it should have been transferred to her long ago.

When the two went down the mountain, Nan Zhi deliberately led the dog around the people, and the journey went smoothly without bumping into anyone.

The first thing Nanzhi did when he got home was to lock the courtyard door.

Today they are considered a bumper harvest.

A total of more than forty catties of chestnuts were brought back, and there was more than two catties of purslane. The straw mushrooms, large and small, could add up to a hundred flowers, which would definitely not be less than five catties.

There are still two more days to go to the market in the town. If she sells some chestnuts and straw mushrooms, she should be able to buy some fine grains for the dogs.

Thinking of getting a lot of money into the account, Nan Zhi hugged the dog happily and kissed him.

It made the dog's face blush.

I tidied up my family's grain storage. There are more than 80 catties of chestnuts, five catties of straw mushrooms, two catties of purslane, and one catty of mother-in-law Ding, plus a clump of wild garlic.

Looking at the food Nanzhi felt a little lost. Yesterday, he and the dog almost starved to death, but today there is food at home.

It's a pity that although chestnuts are full, they can't be eaten as a staple food all the time. In addition, the weather is hot and dry now, and there is no refrigerator here, and straw mushrooms can't be kept at all.

Either I go to the town to sell it now, or I sell it to a wealthy family in the village, or I dry it and store it as food.

Looking at the small basket of straw mushrooms, Nanzhi sighed.

It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon now, if I go to the town, it will take six o'clock to arrive, and it's already past the meal time, so I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it for a good price.

When selling to the villagers, everyone will naturally ask about the source, and it is certain that the price will not be cheap if there are fresh mushrooms at this time. Of course, there are not two that the villagers can afford.

Nan Zhi felt a little bit reluctant to eat it at home, after all, although he had some chestnuts to support himself now, if he could sell the straw mushrooms for money to buy fine grains for the dogs, it would definitely be more important than a few straw mushrooms.

After struggling ideologically for a while, Nanzhi put the only 95 Wen in his pocket into his bosom, carried half of the chestnuts in his back basket, and asked the dog to carry a small basket with four catties of straw mushrooms. He was covered by the sluggish mother-in-law Ding before pulling him out the door.

She remembered that Mrs. Liu had a donkey cart at home, and it took less than half an hour to drive the donkey cart to the town, and she could still make time for dinner.

Gou'er obediently led Nanzhi all the way, didn't ask what they were going to do, just held onto the basket tightly.

When he arrived in front of Aunt Liu's house, Nan Zhi happened to hear someone talking in the yard.

After hesitating for a while, he reached out and knocked on the door: "Aunt Liu, are you home?"

The voices in the yard paused, and then Aunt Liu's footsteps came.

"Who is it, here it is."

After opening the door to Nanzhi, I saw Aunt Liu's eyes were a little red, and her face looked haggard.

"Madam Lin, who is this?" Aunt Liu looked at Nan Zhi and Gou'er's backs, and was a little surprised.

Nanzhi also pretended not to notice Aunt Liu's abnormality, and said, "Aunt Liu, I would like to ask you to borrow the donkey cart at home, and I want to take the dog to town."

After hearing this, Aunt Liu showed embarrassment and hesitated.

Now that it is drought, there is not much fodder for the donkey at home.

"Aunt Liu, I don't borrow in vain." Nanzhi looked around again and said.

Seeing Nan Zhi's actions, Aunt Liu naturally understood, and let the two into the yard.

"Ma'am, I can't get anything good right now." Nanzhi looked at Aunt Liu and continued, "I know life is hard at home now, so I took my dog ​​to Dongshan today and picked up some chestnuts. .”

Aunt Liu's eyelids twitched when she heard Nan Zhi's words. Chestnuts are considered a good thing now. It hasn't been harvested yet, and it hasn't rained for half a year. Now my family is relying on some sweet potatoes to fill their stomachs, but the sweet potatoes are about to bottom out. up.

That's why she went to Xishan yesterday to dig some wild vegetables, but apart from those inedible weeds, there was nothing to fill her stomach.

Just now she had a quarrel with her old man because of food matters.

The two little grandchildren in the family are now as thin as matchsticks. She wants to go to the town to buy some rice noodles, even coarse grains, for the children to eat.

But the old man just didn't agree, he didn't want to touch the family's money, and said that he would hold on until the autumn harvest.

If I can pick up the chestnuts and come back, not only can I eat them at home, but I can also take them to the town and sell them for food.

"This……"

Looking at Mrs. Liu, Nanzhi knew that there was something to be said, and said again: "Mother, if it is possible, I will take you up the mountain to pick chestnuts tomorrow, but I want to borrow your donkey cart, and I will go to the town to buy some. Mix the food with the dogs."

Seeing Nan Zhi's serious look, Aunt Liu gritted her teeth and nodded: "Okay."

Anyway, the old man in the family is reluctant to part with the little money, and his grandson has to find a way to support himself.

Raising donkeys is just for use. At worst, she will go to the mountains tomorrow to cut more grass and come back to feed them.

Helping Nanzhi put the things on the donkey cart, Aunt Liu originally wanted her son to help drive the cart, but thinking about Nanzhi's current situation, she could only tell her to come back earlier, so as not to waste time.

Fortunately, the donkey in Aunt Liu's family is docile, even a novice like Nanzhi can drive smoothly.

"Aniang, why did you tell Granny Liu about the chestnut?" the dog asked in a low voice after leaving the village.

He didn't want A Niang to faint like yesterday, there was no food at home, and he didn't understand why A Niang would tell others about the chestnut.

After stroking the dog's head, Nan Zhi said, "One reason is that we borrowed the donkey cart from Granny Liu's house. We can't borrow it in vain. Although the family has tens of pennies, we have to use it to buy food. The second is because..."

Nanzhi paused, then glanced at the curious dog again, and said, "The second reason is that there are still a lot of chestnuts on Dongshan Mountain, and the two of us can't finish them. Our family used to have no food. The aunt in the village The mother-in-laws have helped us more or less, and their life is not easy now, it is better to tell them than to let those chestnuts rot in the mountains."
