Hard times have room

Chapter 751
The next morning, Paulin woke up, the sky was only slightly bright, and when she finished washing, it was already very bright, at least it was no problem to go out to see the road clearly.

After washing up, Pauline immediately started to make breakfast. She didn't know until her parents mentioned it. They started working very early and it was time to cook.

The breakfast was yesterday's porridge made of wild vegetables and half a pumpkin. The wild vegetable and pumpkin porridge has nothing at home. I can only eat it with chopped peppers. Occasionally I put a chopstick or a little chopped pepper into the porridge, and the taste is still there. Yes, mainly because I drank too much clear soup and porridge before. Now, even if it is spicy porridge, the family of three accepts it very well, at least it is not the same taste.

After eating, Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang did not dare to delay, they brought tools and water to drink, and went out soon.

Su Hongying originally wanted to explain something to Bao Lin, which was to let Bao Lin do things at home by herself, but in the end she didn't open her mouth. She felt that Bao Lin knew better than her what she should do on this day.

Anyway, she just said go to the forest to pick up some mushrooms, dig some wild vegetables and come back, these things, without her saying, Pauline will do it herself.

If she said something, it would not be very good to limit what Pauline will do at noon today.

Watching her parents go out to work, and waiting for their figures to gradually fade away, Paulin hurriedly returned to the main room to clean up the tableware and chopsticks, and washed the tableware and chopsticks left yesterday.

The oil in the house is almost gone now, and there is only a bottom left. The tableware and chopsticks are naturally free of oil stains, so she washed the tableware and chopsticks easily.

After washing the dishes, there is one less thing to do in the morning. The next thing is to feed the bamboo rats. Now these bamboo rats are the treasures of the family. How much income they can make all year round depends on these little things, but they must not be served well. on.

When Wang Jiandang got up in the morning, he didn't tell Paulin anything else, but the bamboo rats he was in charge of were well told to Paulin, so that Paulin must remember to feed them.

Baolin used fresh and tender bamboo shoots to feed the bamboo rats. These were taken out from the small broken back basket next to them. These bamboo shoots looked a little shriveled as a whole, but the skin was dry. Obviously, It's not the freshest bamboo shoots that were pulled from the forest today. It should have been brought back yesterday or the day before yesterday, and it was specially kept here to feed the bamboo rats.

After all, it is a bit troublesome to go to the woods to get a meal for the bamboo rats after feeding them.

These bamboo shoots nested, and the bamboo rats at the bottom immediately scrambled to snatch them up. Baolin kept the bamboo shoots in her hands to observe the situation. Quick, all the bamboo rats nibbled up with their own bamboo shoots, very happy.

The bamboo rat was fed, and her father's instructions were done. Paulin went to the back mountain with a backpack on her back. She deliberately walked inside, but she did not dare to approach Daqingling, not even the periphery of Daqingling. Go, just wandered around the inner circle of the back mountain.

Perhaps it was because of the small number of people here, and the fact that all the young men in the village were sweating on the ground, so Pauline's harvest was still alright. After more than half an hour, half a basket of mushrooms was placed in the back basket. , more than half of them are mushrooms, and the remaining half are swan mushrooms.

Although the mushrooms grow in clumps, once they are discovered, there are likely to be many around. However, the mushrooms are small, and the umbrella cover of the largest mushroom she has ever picked up is only 2/3 the size of her palm. Therefore, although she There are a lot of mushrooms in the back basket, but when they are piled together, it really doesn't look like much.

Besides, mushrooms also grow in selected places, and in some places they don't grow, so the final harvest does not seem to be much, at least compared to Paulin's bag of mushrooms last year, today's harvest is average. Neither count.

This is the case with winter mushrooms, not to mention swan mushrooms. Although there are also clusters of mushrooms of this type, they usually grow together in two to four clusters. Those who find a large cluster are in the minority.

Swan fungus usually grows more in the grass, which makes it more difficult to find. Pauline is very satisfied with these harvests this morning.

After leaving the forest, Paulin directly found wild vegetables in the wild field in the back mountain. Only after filling the remaining space in the back basket, did Paulin withdraw her hand without any thought.

Of course, it was the one that didn't press hard. After all, there were mushrooms underneath. If it was really compacted, the mushrooms might be crushed, so Pauline didn't do it.

When Pauline was walking home with a basket on her back, she accidentally saw a large bush of bracken beside a big rock.

For this kind of thing, people who like it like it very much. They feel that the taste of bracken is crisp, tender and smooth, delicious and refreshing. Although it has some mucus, it is not a big problem. shortcoming.

But people who don't like it think that bracken not only feels sticky and sticky to the touch, but also tastes mushy and sticky, and some people simply don't like the taste of bracken.

Although Paulin doesn't hate eating bracken, she can't say how much she likes it. However, if bracken is dried, then mixed with chopped peppers and salt, and marinated, she really likes it.

Of course, pure dried bracken is also delicious when fried, but unfortunately there is no oil at home. If you can put some oil in it, the taste should be better.

Bao Lin couldn't help it. She originally wanted to go down the mountain and go home immediately, but she squatted down and picked bracken.

The process of breaking the bracken is very decompressing. The bracken with some fine fluff on the rhizome is curled up. With a slight crisp sound, the bracken root is broken.

The bracken in this place has all been collected, and there are a lot of them, the ones that she can't hold with her hands, there are quite a few.

After picking the bracken, Paulin walked back home contentedly along the path. In the end, she circled to the small bamboo forest at the back of the house, passed her sweet potato field last year, walked along the path, and then returned to her yard.

For mushrooms, keep half of them for eating, and dry the rest outside on the solid yellow mud floor.

Wash the wild vegetables and put them in the vegetable basket. This basket is new and very clean. Put the wild vegetables in it, drain the water, and take it directly when cooking.

In the case of bracken, Pauline moved a small bench and picked it again. When she was just in the back mountain, she was probably anxious to go home, afraid that her parents would go home before her, so she unconsciously It accelerated the speed of breaking, which caused some bracken to be a little old.
