The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 5 Toon Sprouts

Han Qianluo didn't mind letting Li Chunhua know that bracken was edible. After all, there were a lot of bracken on the mountain now, and they were getting old very fast. They couldn't eat it in two days, and my family couldn't finish it.

"I've eaten it before." Han Qianluo said half-truthfully, but this was before time travel, not the current shell, but that's considered eating, isn't it?

Li Chunhua was a little dubious, and looked at the bracken in Han Qianluo's basket, seemingly worried and hesitant.Since Li Chunhua didn't believe it, Han Qianluo wouldn't insist on making her believe it, so he casually said, "We'll eat this bracken tonight, and we'll definitely be alive and kicking tomorrow."

Han Qianluo returned home with the basket. The second sister Han Shuier was still weaving linen, and a thick pile of cloth had already been woven beside her.Han Qianluo took out the wild vegetables from the basket and put them in the kitchen, and then went to pick the toon buds with his fourth brother Han Sanwei. Unexpectedly, he searched around the house and searched every room, but he didn't see it. Korean Sammi.

"Sister, where did Sanwei go?" Han Qianluo asked loudly in Han Shuier's direction.

Han Shuier didn't stop moving his hands, and said without raising his head, "I went to the field to grow vegetables with my elder brother, Xiaoluo, what are you looking for with Sanwei?"

"It's nothing." Han Qianluo said, and went to his field with the basket in hand.

The land of the Han family is very close to their home, just a few steps away.At the edge of the land, a little bit was drawn out as a vegetable field. When Han Qianluo came the day before, he saw a mess in the vegetable field, all of which were pits left after pulling out cabbage, and there were many weeds, but Now it has been neatly leveled and clean.

The two brothers Han Qingquan were planting vegetables in the vegetable field, Han Qingquan was digging a hole in front, and Han Sanwei threw the seeds into the hole.

"Brother, what kind of vegetables are you growing?" Han Qianluo walked over and asked.From Han Qianluo's point of view, the seeds of those vegetables are all similar in shape, and the small ones have the same appearance, so it is really impossible to tell them apart.

Unexpectedly, Han Sanwei gave Han Qianluo a disdainful look and said, "Sister San is so stupid, she doesn't even know carrots."

Being despised by a boy who was less than ten years old, Han Qianluo felt that he had been severely hit, and immediately retorted: "Who said I don't know, I just didn't see it clearly." After finishing speaking, Han Qianluo remembered The purpose of coming here is to say to Han Sanwei: "Sanwei, let's go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables."

"Third sister, haven't you been there for a long time? Why haven't you picked it yet? Besides, I have to help my elder brother plant the radishes." Han Sanwei said.

"Such a little radish, big brother is fine." Han Qianluo said, and walked over to take out the radish seeds that Han Sanwei was holding and put them on the ground. At this time, Han Qingquan also said: "Sanwei, you Let's go with Xiaoluo."

Han Qingquan opened his mouth, and Han Sanwei walked with Han Qianluo in peace of mind, and asked as he walked, "Sister San, didn't you go up the mountain with Sister Chunhua to pick wild vegetables, didn't you pick them?"

Han Sanwei asked once before, but Han Qianluo didn't have time to answer him. He didn't expect him to ask persistently. Han Qianluo felt that if she didn't answer, he might ask later, so he replied: "Of course." I picked it, but I found another wild vegetable."

"What wild vegetables?" Han Sanwei immediately asked curiously.

"You'll know when you see it."

Han Qianluo took Han Sanwei straight to the toon tree. There are not many toon trees on this mountain. Han Qianluo found half of the mountain and only saw a few.

Han Qianluo stopped in front of a tall toon tree and said to Han Sanwei, "Can you climb it?"

Han Sanwei looked at the toon tree, and said suspiciously, "Sister San, can this be eaten?" Han Qianluo knew that it would be difficult to persuade these people to eat something they had never eaten before, but he still said with certainty: "Of course I can eat it. I've secretly eaten it before." Then he thought for a while and added, "Will I still harm you?"

"Okay then, I'll go up and pick it." Saying that, Han Sanwei began to climb the tree, and climbed up after a few clicks.Han Qianluo couldn't help sighing, it seems that boys are more talented in climbing trees.

"Sister San, do you want to pick leaves?" Han Sanwei asked standing in the middle of a tree branch.

"Pick the kind of shoots that have just grown."

Han Sanwei picked off a green shoot and asked Han Qianluo, "Sister San, is this it?"

"Yes, that's the one to pick."

Han Sanwei's action was very fast, and he picked most of the toon buds on the tree in a short time, but there were still some tender buds on the higher places.Han Qianluo was taken aback when he saw that his fourth brother wanted to climb up. The branches going up were thinner, and it was impossible to bear the weight of a person, even a child, so he hurriedly climbed up. Stop: "Sanwei, come down and stop picking."

Han Sanwei looked at the toon buds on the treetops, and couldn't help but said, "But there are still so many of them?"

"The top is too thin to bear your weight." Han Qianluo said.

After hearing this, Han Sanwei didn't insist anymore, and slid down the smooth trunk, handed the basket full of toon buds to Han Qianluo, and asked again: "Sister San, will it really be okay to eat this?" ?”

"Of course I can eat it. Is it possible that I will have trouble with myself?" Han Qianluo said, "Let's go back."

After returning home, Han Qianluo put the toon sprouts and bracken in separate categories, and the rest will be eaten tonight.Han Qianluo had already made up his mind, and sold those toon sprouts and bracken in the market. Although it was very cheap, he could sell some money more or less, which was better than no money at all.

Han Qianluo had just packed up the wild vegetables when he saw his eldest brother Han Qingquan coming back with a hoe on his shoulder.Han Qingquan put the hoe against the wall, then walked into the kitchen, and said to Han Qianluo, "Xiao Luo, let's light up the fire and cook."

Han Qianluo doesn't know how to make pasta yet, so she just needs to light the fire, and then watch Han Qingquan busy kneading noodles and making steamed buns.Han Qianluo suddenly discovered why their family didn't raise pigs.At this time, many people have begun to die like poultry.

"Brother, why don't we raise pigs?" Han Qianluo pretended to ask casually, trying not to make it look strange.

"We don't have money to buy piglets." Han Qingquan said a little lonely, "and we don't have food to feed them, so they won't grow up in a few years."

Han Qianluo thought about it too. He didn't even have to eat people, so how could he still raise poultry, so he didn't say anything else, and quietly lit the fire.

Han Qianluo watched Han Qingquan put the cleaned wild vegetables into clay pots and cook them. Thinking of the vegetable "soup" with no oil but a little salty taste, he felt that he urgently needed to eat meat, or use Oil is also good for cooking.

"Xiao Luo, what are you thinking?" Han Qingquan asked a little strangely.

"It's nothing, brother, why don't we fry it with oil, it's more delicious." Han Qianluo couldn't help but said, although it was only two days, she was really fed up with this kind of boiled vegetables. People who want to lose weight will probably like it very much.

"Eat it yourself, there is no need to put oil, that thing is too expensive." Han Qingquan said.

Tears welled up in Han Qianluo's heart, because he had no money and it was too expensive.How poor is this family, or is it really so backward at this time that ordinary people can't even afford things like oil and salt.

In the end, the wild vegetables at night are still the same wild vegetable soup.Han Qianluo comforted himself in his heart, it would be fine if he got used to it, and he wouldn't feel bad if he got used to it.If he didn't comfort himself like this, Han Qianluo was afraid that he would go crazy and lift everything on the table.

After eating and resting for a while, it was dark. Speaking of which, this was another place that drove Han Qianluo crazy. There were no lights, no electric lights, no candles, no candles, no kerosene lamps , even if there are, those things are not affordable for ordinary people like them.So Han Qianluo and the others must finish their meal and wash up before dark, otherwise they can only smear and do things.

Han Qianluo felt that there were really many things in front of him, but he couldn't escape the word money. With money, all these problems would be solved.However, Han Qianluo felt that it would be better if it could be solved without money.

Since I have to go to the market the next day, I have to get up early.However, now Han Qianluo feels that there is no problem in waking up early, and he starts to sleep as soon as it gets dark. If the eight hours of sleep are counted, Han Qianluo feels that his current sleep time must be more than that.

Han Qianluo woke up when the rooster crowed for the first time. He didn't stay in bed at all, and got up quickly to get dressed.Han Shui'er, who slept in the same bed as Han Qianluo, said a little amusedly, "Why did Xiao Luo wake up so quickly this morning?"

"Isn't this going to the market? You must get up early." Han Qianluo didn't hide his yearning for the market at all.For these rural children, the market every five days is really a day that all children, big and small, yearn for.

Han Qianluo was thinking about her wild vegetables. She sprinkled water on them before going to bed yesterday to prevent them from losing too much water and making them stale and unsightly.However, Han Qianluo was still very worried, so he quickly put on his clothes and ran to the kitchen to look at the wild vegetables.Fortunately, there was not much difference when I took it off yesterday.

Although the rooster crowed, the sky was not yet bright at this time, but the sky was a little whitish.At first, Han Qianluo was not used to seeing anything, but after a while, he could see the general outline.Then I saw Han Shuier walking in to prepare breakfast.

"Sister, let me light the fire."
