Hello 1983

  Chapter 432 Is this thing really edible? (Seeking a guaranteed monthly pass)

  What, can you see something?

  Liu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Grandpa Wu, that's great!"

  Of course he had confidence in the mute master's medical skills, but he didn't expect to recover so quickly, and he recovered his sight in just over half a month.

   Taking a closer look, you can see that Mr. Wu's eyes are piercing, not the same as before, even if he opened his eyes, they were dull and unfocused.

   "Haha, Xiao Shanzi, I can finally see you today. You are a good young man, but he is too handsome and not brave enough."

  Old Wu is obviously in a good mood, and whoever he is, who can see the sun again after being blind, will definitely be happier.

   Liu Qingshan didn't care too much about Wu Lao's evaluation, and he was not a soldier.

Song Yizhen next to    hurriedly persuaded, "Brother Wu, put on your sunglasses first, you still have to protect your eyes during this time."

   "I just want to take a look at Xiao Shanzi, haha." Mr. Wu obediently put on his sunglasses again.

  Sunglasses can avoid strong sunlight. In addition, after Mr. Wu recovered his eyesight, he couldn't help but want to look at this and that, so he simply put on these sunglasses.

   These are real "sunglasses", that is, the outside of the lens is coated with a layer of ink. After wearing it, you don't even want to see anything.

  If it wasn't for the consideration of image, he would have put a blindfold on Mr. Wu.

   After chatting for a while, the dumb grandfather led two apprentices, Li Tieniu and Gao Feng, back to gather medicine.

   Then there is boiling medicine and acupuncture. Now Song Yizhen is very proficient in the technique.

   "Brother, pass me the moxa stick."

   Song Yizhen was busy raising the needle, and greeted him with his mouth.

  The so-called acupuncture and moxibustion actually include two parts: acupuncture and moxibustion. Needles are inserted into the acupoints, and moxa sticks are used to warm the acupoints.

  Junior brother, who is your name?

  Liu Qingshan looked around, and there seemed to be no one else around. It was the first time he saw giving Wu Lao needles, so he leaned in front of him to watch the excitement.

   "Junior Brother Qingshan, I'm calling you."

  Song Yizhen turned his head and looked at Liu Qingshan with a smile.

  Liu Qingshan looked at him: This old gentleman has white beard and hair, is over seventy years old, and still calls me junior, is that really okay?

  He faintly felt that the temperament of Mr. Song seemed to have undergone some changes, but he couldn't tell what the change was.

  In fact, Song Yizhen's excitement and joy these days are no less than that of Mr. Wu.

  By learning the acupuncture methods of the dumb grandfather, he can obviously feel his progress in medical skills.

   Not only medical skills, but through the teaching of his dumb grandfather, Mr. Song felt that his previous philosophy of practicing medicine had been subverted, and his whole person had undergone a fundamental change.

  Grateful in his heart, he actually regarded himself as the disciple of the dumb senior, so he called Liu Qingshan Junior Brother.

  If it weren't for being too old, I would have followed Gao Feng and the others and called Brother Liu Qingshan.

  Well, after hearing Song Yizhen's explanation, Liu Qingshan couldn't help blinking.

  He could feel that this old gentleman was serious.

  The junior should be the junior, so he called out cheerfully: "Senior brother, I'll help you get the moxa stick."

  The moxa sticks are all homemade. The mugwort is harvested on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival and processed in the sun. After being lit, the pungent fragrance of the moxa is diffused in the room immediately.

  Liu Qingshan saw that the two moths that hid in the corner of the wall were fumed and flew out of the wooden house.

   Soon, Xiao Wu was also dragged outside the house, wandering around to the back of the house.

  Xiao Wu pointed to the stones on the ground and asked: "Qingshan, what kind of stone are you? I squatted here the other day watching ants move insects, and found that the inside of this stone seemed to be shiny?"

  You are really free.

  Liu Qingshan rolled his eyes at him, but this guy discovered the secret of the rough jadeite, so he had to find a way to fool him.

   While he was thinking about it, he heard someone calling him in front of him: "Qingshan is back. Just in time, many wild fruits have come down from the mountain. Tomorrow, I will ask people to go up the mountain to pick fruits and make a monkey bar."

   As soon as he heard the voice, he was Lao Guo. He also grew up in the forest every day, looking forward to the ripening of wild fruits.

  Liu Qingshan took Xiao Wu and ran to the front of the house, only to see Lao Guo with a straw hat on his head and a handful of indigo fruit in his hand.

   "Qingshan, this fruit was given to me by a monkey, haha, these guys know how to give me gifts now."

  Old Guo boasted proudly, and with a click, threw a blue fruit into his mouth.

   "Why don't you give monkeys so many delicious things every day." Liu Qingshan also went to pick up a blue indigo fruit.

  This fruit is about the same color as a blueberry, larger than a blueberry, oblong, with a slightly pointed front end, and looks a bit like a chicken, so the locals call it Yang**.

   When you eat it in your mouth, there is a slight bit of bitterness among the sweet and sour, and the taste is still very special. It tastes best when mixed with some sugar.

  While eating fruit, while discussing candidates with Lao Guo, Liu Qingshan thought about it and asked: "Is it enough to send sixty people?"

   "Enough, enough!"

  Old Guo was overjoyed. He plans to expand the production of monkey wine this year. Of course, the more the better.

   "Then let ten adults take fifty children." Liu Qingshan said again.

  It turned out to be a group of boy scouts, Lao Guo grinned.

   "Hey, kids are quicker, the adults are responsible for safety and transportation, the cooperative will take care of the lunch, and each person will add two tea eggs." Liu Qingshan quickly made arrangements.

   Mai Qiuer will be coming soon. The main labor force in the village, except for picking mountains, has to harvest wheat. There are not so many people.

  And the silage feed is about to start, and manpower is also needed.

  Fortunately, there are three other allied villages who can also help in harvesting wild fruits, but it will take some hard work.

  The next morning, the children gathered in front of Liu Qingshan's house, it was just the summer vacation, and they all gathered together, so as not to worry about them sneaking into the river to swim or something.

  Boss Uncle and Da Zhang Luo, the adults, drove a few big carriages and pulled the children up the mountain.

  The little ones were not honest when they got together. Now that Teacher Liu Ying was on vacation and went to further studies, the fourth child was singing with a small voice, organizing the kids to sing.

  What red star is following me to fight, what little bamboo rafts are swimming in the middle of the river, and the singing is quite exciting.

   "Brother, we have finished singing the songs we will meet."

  Xiao Laosi reported the new situation to Liu Qingshan.

   Liu Qingshan understood the meaning in no time, so he cleared his throat: "Then I will teach you a new song."

"it is good!"

  The children all clapped their hands.

  Liu Qingshan began to sing: "The king sent me to patrol the mountain..."

   The children were so happy that they were all leaning forward and backward in the carriage.

   Boss Che and the others were also happy: "Haha, with Qingshan leading these kids, they are all happy to compete one by one."

  When we got to Mukeleng, put the food and drink we brought here first, and then Lao Guo talked about the types and requirements of picking wild fruits, and then separated five teams and went into the forest.

  Of course Liu Qingshan also followed, as well as the dumb grandpa and Li Tieniu, who also followed the work while taking care of the safety of the children.

   There is also a special big bodyguard, that is, Big Bear, who also follows behind Liu Qingshan's ass.

  The forests on their side have been well guarded. In the past two years, under Liu Qingshan's advocacy, hunting has been rarely organized, so the number of wild animals has increased.

   "Whoa, jump jump!"

  Seeing the little roe deer jumping over with that unique pace, the fourth child immediately opened his arms.

   This little roe deer, who does not follow the usual path, has been sent to Mukeleng to be raised. Seeing the fourth and fifth children, they are also very affectionate.

  Based on its unique running posture, Xiao Laosi named it Tiaotiao.

  Besides the roe deer, the mountain donkeys are also tied in this forest, grazing leisurely.

  Shan Xing also suddenly shouted happily: "Brother, look, there are several more cubs!"

  June and July are the season for mountain donkeys to give birth. There are four females in this group, two of them give birth to one cub, and the other two give birth to two cubs.

  So a total of six new musk musk deer were born, and the number of this population suddenly broke through to more than ten.

  Because the female musk deer is tied to the tree, these young musk deer don't run far, and they all move around the mother.

  The little guys are not very afraid of people. Seeing Shan Xing squatting there and stretching out her little hand, a little musk deer came up and licked Shan Xing's palm with its small tongue.

   And the lame mountain donkey also came up. This guy is the most free, without being tied, and can wander around.

   This also led to it successfully fulfilling the mission of breeding offspring with a female musk deer, otherwise, a lame one like it would have been eliminated long ago.

  The little fourth came over and touched the small fangs of Lin musk deer with a smile.

  Other beasts have tusks, and they all look fierce, but the tusks of the mountain donkey only make you laugh.

  Musk can only be harvested in winter, because mountain donkeys only enter the breeding season at that time, and male musk deer secrete musk, which is actually used to attract female musk deer.

  This seems to be the exact opposite of human beings.

  Farewell to this group of babies, the children also entered the state and began to eat wild fruits.

  Of course you have to eat first, and work after eating enough.

   Soon, the little mouths of the children were all dyed purple.

  Actually, what Liu Qingshan said was right, the kids are really nimble with their little hands when doing this job.

  Several adults came back and forth, transporting the mountain fruit to Mukeleng, all busy.

  Liu Qingshan picked up two baskets of blue indigo fruit to Mukeleng, and when he came back with an empty load, he heard a group of kids chattering there, saying they wanted to pick mushrooms.

  There are already some mushrooms this month, but most of them are inedible, so Liu Qingshan hurried up to check.

   On a big fallen tree, clusters of golden mushrooms covered the entire trunk, like blooming flowers.

   "Brother Qingshan, we found the yellow elm mushroom!" Goushengzi reported happily.

  It is indeed elm yellow mushroom. It is not only beautiful in appearance, but also rich in nutrition.

  At the beginning of July, elm yellow mushrooms just appeared, and the number was not much, so Liu Qingshan waved his hand: "Pluck it, let's eat this at noon!"

   "If you have meat, fried elm mushrooms with meat are the best."

   "Dumplings made with elm yellow mushrooms are the best!"

  The boys quickly argued.

  Liu Qingshan recalled, it seemed that when pigs were slaughtered on the Dragon Boat Festival, there were actually a few pieces of meat in his refrigerator.

  The main reason is that there are not many people eating at home recently, so I didn’t eat much, so I said: "There is meat, of course there is meat. Making dumplings is too troublesome, so I will fry pork with elm yellow mushrooms!"

   Oh, the children cheered, and quickly picked all the yellow elm mushrooms from this tree.

   During the scramble, some were ruined and all were broken.

  One fallen tree was enough to pick two large baskets full of yellow elm mushrooms, and Liu Qingshan happily picked them back: too many, let's eat one basket and dry the other.

  When he returned again, the kids started playing there again, working and playing at the same time, which was originally the monopoly of the little kids.

   Er Mangzi was holding a pointed brown object in his hand, and he was still chanting:

   "East crooked, west crooked, noon crooked."

   Following his chanting, the thing in his hand twisted back and forth, as if he was really obedient.

   This set of little tricks is also liked by children in rural areas. When they find chrysalis, they usually like to play with it.

  If the tip of the pupa can move back and forth, it is crooked, and if it remains vertical, it is equivalent to noon, exactly noon.

   It’s just that this chrysalis is a bit big, almost as big as Liu Qingshan’s thumb.

   "Work, work, work quickly."

  Liu Qingshan turned into Liu Papi, yelling, and snatched the big chrysalis from Er Mangzi's hand.

  Er Mangzi took a look, and wanted to make a big move again, Liu Qingshan patted him on the head:

   "Don't cry like chickens and birds, I'll find more silkworm chrysalis and fry them for lunch."

  As soon as he heard about eating, Er Mangzi was instantly happy: "Brother Qingshan, there are many silkworm chrysalis on that catalpa tree, is this thing really edible?"

   "Just don't bite off your tongue when the time comes." Liu Qingshan followed the direction of Er Mangzi's fingers, found the walnut tree, looked up, and walked among the leaves, where silkworm cocoons were coiled one by one.

  They call this mountain silkworm, which belongs to the tussah silkworm. Like this wild one, it has not been artificially domesticated, so the cocoons it forms are not so regular, and the color is not so white.

  Liu Qingshan climbed directly onto the tree, and soon there was crackling, cocoons began to fall from the tree.

   Peel off the cocoon, and inside is the silkworm chrysalis just like before.

  The silkworm chrysalis of the tussah silkworm is very large, of course it tastes very delicious, and it is extremely nutritious, which is the most nourishing.

  Peel off the silkworm cocoons, some silkworm chrysalis have not yet evolved, and the surface is still green.

  But if you leave it overnight, it will turn dark brown the next day.

   On the nearby trees, he got half a basket of silkworm cocoons, and Liu Qingshan went back to the wood carving, and together with Aunt Zhang, peeled out all the silkworm chrysalis.

   After blanching with boiling water, cut it in half, then stir-fry or deep-fry.

   There are also elm yellow mushrooms picked back. After blanching, fry half a pot with sliced ​​meat, plus a pot of vegetable soup, pancakes and tea eggs, the lunch is also considered rich.

   "Wash your hands and eat!"

  Hearing the news of the kids coming back, Mr. Wu, who was wearing sunglasses, yelled cheerfully.

  He also took off his sunglasses, and deliberately took a good look at the fourth and fifth children. Well, they were as cute as he imagined.

   "Grandpa Wu, you eat silkworm chrysalis, the eldest brother said that this food is very nourishing." The fourth child put vegetables in the bowl of Mr. Wu.

   "There is also this yellow elm mushroom, which is also very nutritious." Shan Xing also served the old man with vegetables on the other side.

  Mr. Wu, who was caught in the middle, was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

   "Well, the silkworm chrysalis is really delicious." The children are greedy and dare to eat anything. Although they all know that this thing is made of big green worms, they still taste delicious.

  Song Yizhen also ate silkworm chrysalis rejoicingly. Such fresh silkworm chrysalis is indeed a great tonic. If Director Fan was here, he would definitely be able to come up with other tricks.

  Eating a mouthful of silkworm chrysalis, looking at Liu Qingshan and the group of children, Song Yizhen suddenly felt very moved:

  Perhaps, they are like silkworm chrysalis. Sooner or later, they will break from the chrysalis and become butterflies, blooming the most beautiful life...
