Hard times have room

Chapter 432

After standing in the yard for a while, Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang, who were restless, went to the vegetable field behind the house together.

Even if there's nothing left to do, it's good to look at the lush sweet potatoes and pumpkins. When I think of the scene of the harvest later, my heart is almost filled. I come here every day to work, isn't it just for that day?

After breakfast, there is still a little time to go to work.

"Mom and Dad, when I was picking sweet potato leaves this morning, I saw a lot of little grasshoppers jumping in the sweet potato field. They still eat sweet potato leaves, are they okay? Do you want to catch them?" Pauline tentatively said.

In terms of their understanding of farming, ten Wang Baolins combined can't compare to one Su Hongying and one Wang Jiandang. These two people are old farmers who have worked for decades, and they are no better than her half-hearted.

How she thinks about it in her mind is one thing, but how to do it is another thing. She listens to her parents. She just points out what she sees and asks.

Maybe her parents didn't notice this, she pointed it out, it can help a lot!
"You saw it too." When Wang Jiandang thought of those little things that were bouncing around in the sweet potato field, he felt very uncomfortable, sad!
Sad this year!Although everything looks fine now.

"My mother and I have seen this before, and we've caught it several times, but we just can't control it. If we catch it once, we can manage it for five or six days, and then there will be more."

"Before, your mother and I were quite nervous, but we couldn't control it all the time. Those things were produced too much and fast. We weren't picky about the ground and the food. It was very difficult, but we couldn't do anything about them."

"That is to say, these grasshoppers are of small species and only eat leaves. In addition, my mother and I start to catch some from time to time, and the situation is not so bad. Every five days, we take a day to catch them. The current sweet potato looks fine, there is no big trouble, it's just that I and your mother will spend more time and effort!" Wang Jiandang said this, his face full of happiness, the situation is not out of control, although the sweet potato leaves It has been bitten off a bit, which has little effect on the sweet potatoes growing in the ground.

Now there are more grasshoppers in the village than in previous years, and I don't know what's going on, but he guessed that it should be because the sparrows were killed more, because the sparrows all eat grasshoppers and insects. Without this enemy, grasshoppers and worms, it would be strange not to take the opportunity to expand wildly.

His main focus now is to guard against this, he can't manage anything else, but the things in his small yard surrounded by bamboo fences must be well managed, and only one-third of this acre of land needs to be managed. , This is related to the rations of his family of three!
In the past few days, the content of going to work has become deworming. Looking at it, it is not very good!

He is not the only one who knows this. The elderly in the village are more experienced than him. Most of the villagers have a feeling that the storm is about to come. Now they go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and come back to dry the vegetables. The more things you have at home, the better. Everyone is picking things at home, whether it's wild vegetables or something else.

His family is no exception. Firewood and wild vegetables are the main goal.

The pine needles and pine cones that Paulin had piled up at home have almost been burned. He and his wife are climbing trees and cutting branches. Now they have piled up more than a dozen bundles at home. This is the result of their month.

In addition to firewood, there are wild vegetables. This is less, two sackcloth bags. The main force is his daughter-in-law. He mainly cares for the vegetable field at home.

Oh, by the way, there are also mushrooms, which are already growing in the woods, but the number is not that many, and some places have not yet begun to grow.

He guessed that it might have been raining a few days ago, so mushrooms and bracken were emerging one after another.

Today is Paulin's home. As soon as he and his daughter-in-law relax, they get up late. Tomorrow, it's time to get up earlier and go to the mountains to see how the mushrooms are growing.

"Paulin, the mushrooms are already growing in the woods. If you go to the mountains to have a look, maybe we can eat mushroom soup at noon." In the past month, Wang Jiandang felt that he really had enough wild vegetables. Enough is enough, if it wasn't for the sake of continuing to live, who would be willing to eat that stuff, bitter and astringent, just two words, unpalatable.

Now that the mushrooms are growing in the forest, although they have not yet reached the largest number, the most people go to pick them. When the forest is busiest, you can look for more. If you are lucky, you can still have a meal at noon.

"Well, okay, I'll go later, I'll definitely be able to eat mushrooms at noon." Pauline patted her chest decisively and made a ticket. For nothing else, there are mushrooms in her space, and at this time, white mushrooms grow green. She has the head bacteria in her space. If you don't find it in the woods, just take it directly from the space.

As for the topic of grasshoppers, Pauline didn't ask any further questions. Her father had already made it clear enough that the two old masters had ideas in their minds, so she still went to ask what was going on, what was the trouble? I really don't understand things like bugs. I've only heard a sentence or two before, so don't go out and be ashamed.

"If you can find them, you can eat mushrooms at noon. If you can't find them, you can eat wild vegetables. The mushrooms have just grown, and there are not many in the woods. Don't force it." Su Hongying glared at the "greedy" Wang Jiandang and smiled. to Pauline.

"If you can't find mushrooms, you can get some bracken or something. It's good for cold salads. It tastes very refreshing. If there are too many, you can marinate them and keep them for later."

"Well, if I see bracken, I'll bring it back together." Pauline smiled helplessly, and the answer was quite refreshing.

When she took the porridge and side dishes in the morning, she found that there was only a little bit of the sauerkraut jar left at home. It looked like a small bowl. The sauerkraut jar was completely empty.

The remaining two jars are filled with chopped peppers and moldy beans, and the portion is not too much. When she comes back from vacation next month, it should be almost empty.

The two jars at home were empty, and Pauline had to fill them up, otherwise, the meal wouldn't be good.

Originally, this porridge was already unpalatable enough, and if there was nothing to adjust the taste buds, the tongue would really rebel.

Originally, she didn't have any ideas or clues, but just after listening to her mother's words, Pauline made a decision at once, and one of them should be used to pickle bracken!

The remaining one, if I can think of some other fresh things in the past two days, I will make a fresh one. If I can't think of it, I will continue to accumulate sauerkraut. This is simple, and several common wild vegetables can be made.
