Hard times have room

Chapter 441 Inventory of the harvest
After lunch, Paulin went to the back mountain with a backpack, specifically looking for those remote places, catching grasshoppers and digging wild vegetables.

To put it simply, as long as she sees those edible ones, she will not let them go. Whether it is wild vegetables, mushrooms, or grasshoppers, they are all her goals.

Go all the way, just collect all the way, anyway, can't let go of anything that can be eaten.

She has always acted alone. Even Dongmei, she didn't look for it much. Of course, Dongmei should be very busy now. It's summer vacation.

Along the way, when the back basket is almost filled with half of the things, she will put half of it in the space and open it up separately. Mushrooms and wild vegetables have their own teams, just put them together with the previous ones. Only the grasshoppers are placed in a separate room. On the table, there is a small pile, not too much, after all, it is not special to catch this, and I don't spend too much effort on this.

When you get tired of walking, just find a place by yourself, preferably a place where there are no creeping bugs around. She has this one request. Although it is not very scary, the creeping bugs generally look scary. The kind that frightens himself and gives goosebumps.

Pauline sat down and rested for a while, usually waiting ten minutes or so before going on the road again.

Not to mention, she walked around Shanghe Village almost all afternoon, and the harvest was good. Although there are many insects outside, they are definitely not crowded. There are still many wild vegetables and the like, but Most of them have been tasted by insects first, and most of the leaves are not complete, but she doesn't dislike it at all, as long as she sees it, and it is easy to dig, she digs it up.

After all, she has been bitten a few times in advance. After a month, when she comes back, it may be difficult to find even a leaf, so what's the point of disgusting it now!
It wasn't until the sun was about to go down that Pauline swayed home with the basket on her back. The soles of her feet felt sore and tired.

In the evening, as soon as dinner was over, the family got busy, mainly the grasshoppers that Paulin brought back. This time, I didn't find a place to catch that thing, and the harvest was not as much as last time. Half of it was in the basket, and that's it, I grabbed five of them, about thirty or so, simmered in the ashes and ate them.

After they finished eating, Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang went to take a bath and rested. They worked all day during the day. They were too tired.

Paulin went to take a bath first, but did not go to bed immediately, but planned to clean up the grasshopper that had just been treated, blanch the grasshopper with salt, and then put it directly in the dustpan and take it to the outside of the yard. hanging on.

The ones at noon today have shrunk a lot after an afternoon of exposure. Paulin directly put them all in a dustpan, and she will pick up the mushrooms tomorrow morning, and then take them out to dry.

As soon as she was done, Pauline's upper and lower eyelids were already fighting, and she couldn't hold it any longer. She covered the fire under the stove with ashes, and cleaned up all the twigs and pine needles next to her. She stayed away from the fire before returning to her room. rest.

After a busy day, Pauline was lying on the bed, and as soon as she closed her eyes, her drowsiness continued to rise. Two mornings.

Early in the morning, when it was still dark outside, Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang woke up. When they got up, they found that Paulin was still awake, and without thinking about it, Su Hongying knocked on the door. Now is not the time to sleep. , Now who doesn't race against time to pull things home!
Her family can't be left behind. Pauline has only been at home for one day. She should go to school early tomorrow. When she comes back next time, it will be summer vacation. This is the last day, she can't just sleep like this. I'm sleepy, when can't I sleep? When she gets to school and has a lot of time to sleep, she still has to pick up mushrooms first.

That's right, in her opinion, it's still very easy at school, you don't have to do anything, just study in class.

As soon as she was woken up, Pauline didn't lose her temper. She sat up and looked at the window. It wasn't dawn yet.

Sitting on the bed, she slowly cleaned the secretions from the corners of her eyes with her fingers, and casually tugged at the hair that had grown a lot in the past few months, and Paulin got out of bed in the dark.

Her feet were the first to land on the muddy ground. Although it was summer, when she stepped on it suddenly in the morning, she still felt very cold.

She scratched around with her feet, and after a while, she found her straw sandals, and Pauline put her feet in them skillfully.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Su Hongying pacing in small steps and circling in a hurry.

"Mom, what are you doing? It's not yet dawn. Now let you go. Can you see the mushrooms on the ground?" Pauline said helplessly.

Her mother is like this, things that shouldn't be anxious, she is in a hurry, and when she really encounters things that should be urgent, she is not anxious at all, she is really anxious.

"Oh, now you can't go to the back mountain before it's dawn!"

"Now there are more than 200 people in the village, all staring at those mushrooms in the forest. If you are not one step ahead of others, go first, what can you pick up after following others!" Touched Pauline's head.

"Okay, now you're up too, carry the bag on your back and go to the kitchen to wipe your face, then it's up to you, we'll go separately." As he said that, he handed Pauline's bag and the stick she was used to. gave her.

Afterwards, he walked directly to the table, blew out the oil lamp, and told Wang Jiandang to leave. Only Yu Baolin looked at her movements in a dazed way.

Pauline didn't continue to stand where she was, she had to hurry up, just today, and pick up as many mushrooms as possible. In her space, it has been stored for so long, and it only looks like more than 100 catties. After thinking about it, there may be nothing to eat. Well, there don't seem to be many of these mushrooms.

Oh, by the way, there are also wild vegetables. There are more wild vegetables than mushrooms in the space, but they are only three or four hundred kilograms. A rough estimate, the access may be a bit large, and how much is specific, she does not have a scale, even if there is a scale. It would be a waste of time to go to the scale. Even if she weighed the contents accurately, could there be a little more.

What's left in the space are [-] to [-] catties of sea fish, and [-] catties of conch shells and other things in their shells. She doesn't have a chance to eat these, so she keeps them all!
Well, there are also bamboo shoots. There are a lot of them. There are [-] to [-] catties. However, it is not very easy to eat them out. , eat it yourself.

At the beginning of the spring, when bamboo shoots were growing, she often filled the space with bamboo shoots, and sometimes even sneakily peeled off the bamboo shoots on the bed at night.
