Chapter 50 [050] Mulberries and Spring Bamboo Shoots

My father and my brothers stayed in the mountains for four days. On the night of the fourth day, they walked all the way back from the mountains by stepping on the moonlight.

Naturally, they were exhausted when they got home, but there were hunger-resistant foods such as sweet potatoes and potatoes at home, which quickly replenished their vitality.

Seeing sweet potatoes and potatoes, I had to ask them. A Niang and Auntie explained the whole story in one sentence. While my father was amazed, he also felt that the food in his mouth seemed to have a mysterious atmosphere, which became more and more serious. cherished.

It was too late, so we did not divide the four bamboo baskets. This is not the first time everyone has entered the mountain, so we naturally developed the habit of going back to the house to rest, planning to come back to divide the next day.

Because Zhuo Lin is young, she spends energy during the day and goes to bed as soon as it gets dark at night, so she doesn't know how loving her parents are that night, even if she knows, she has to pretend she didn't hear it, ha~~~
The next morning, Aniang cooked sweet potato and bean dregs porridge and mixed it with dandelion. Dandelion has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. It is a bit bitter, but tender and tender, it tastes very fresh.

After breakfast, Auntie brought a few older brothers over. Everyone gathered together and looked curiously at the four bamboo baskets they carried back. It was obvious that they were heavy and heavy, and they didn't know what was there this time. reward.

When all the contents of the four bamboo baskets were poured out, Zhuo Lin saw Zheergen at a glance, good guy, there is a big bamboo basket in Zheergen.

Of the other three baskets, spring bamboo shoots occupied two baskets, and the gaps were filled with common wild vegetables. There was only one basket left, with half of the mulberries, and half of... wild onions and wild celery?These wild vegetables are not always easy to find!

As soon as they saw Houttuynia cordata, the fourth and fifth brothers frowned. They obviously didn't like it, and Zhuo Lin couldn't say whether she liked it or not. After all, it wasn't his turn to be picky now. She is willing to eat bark and grass roots.

"The spring bamboo shoots and mulberries, I plan to sell them in the county town, and exchange the money to send a few children to school, right? I heard in the city that the school will officially start on May 5st. Except for Zhuo Lin Zhuo Jian, other people in our family Send it all over, this time I also earn some money from work, a child is three yuan a semester, and when these things are sold, we will make up the rest of the money."

When the uncle heard this, she hurriedly said: "Then how can it be done? These children add up to 20 yuan. It's okay, it's okay, I have money, my family doesn't need you, brother,"

"Sister-in-law, you just listen to the master. It's not easy for the elder brother to get that bit of bean dregs outside. If we didn't rely on the elder brother to help us, we don't know how hungry we would be. Now is the time for us to repay it."

A Niang also quickly persuaded the auntie, and the auntie felt even more uncomfortable, "It doesn't take so much money."

Zhuo Dajun didn't want to fuss about such a trivial matter like the woman: "Okay, this matter is settled, I will go to the market now, while it is fresh, it will dry up in a few days, so I won't be able to sell it." price."

When A Niang heard this, she quickly helped Dad put the purple-red mulberries and spring bamboo shoots into the basket, then waved her hand and headed towards the county town.

As soon as my father left, my mother divided the Houttuynia cordata and the two families into half, and the wild vegetables were not divided, but she told the uncle.

"Let's eat here at noon. Let's steam the potatoes and turn them into puree, and bake them some potato and vegetable buns to eat."

The aunt's eyes lit up: "Huh? This method is good, just like sticking pancakes, right? All right, let's try it. Come on, children, help out, pick all the wild vegetables, let's wash them. Clean it up and put it in the pot."
