Chapter 33 Fish

Xia Senlin showed his eyes from the bamboo tube, and after drinking the last sip of wild vegetable soup, he said, "Father has eaten so much on the road, he is already full, you eat, I will go to the back to look at the firewood."

This Damiao Mountain usually freezes in winter, and even if it does not snow, the fog will freeze, so every household prepares firewood for the winter early, because the firewood cut in winter cannot be burned and it is too wet.

Xia Mujin knew that her father was afraid that her mother and the others would not have enough to eat, so she found an excuse to leave first, and she didn't force it, he was such a responsible man, and life would get better gradually, and she would not let them Hungry.

"Wow, sister, what is this? It's delicious." Xia Xiaosong asked like a curious baby while eating his mouth full of oil.

Aunt Xia also had a good time eating, praising while eating, only Xia Tieshu smiled and watched them eat silently.

"This is called scallion pancake." Pine nuts and the others have never eaten these, even in the town, they can't make such a taste.

A few people chatted and laughed and finished their meal. Aunt Xia washed the dishes with the help of pine nuts, and then boiled a large pot of water for them to take a bath.

"Pine nuts, are these your harvest this afternoon?"

Xia Mujin was busy with the pile of gynostemma and half-dried chrysanthemums, and suddenly saw something swimming around in the barrel, and when she took a closer look, it turned out to be a fish, so she cried out excitedly.

Xia Xiaosong put the bowl on the side of the stove and covered it with a discolored rag. When his sister called him, he rubbed his hands and wiped his face embarrassedly: "Sister, pine nuts are useless, let the big gone."

The fish in the wooden barrel are not big, only about the size of the little finger, there are about forty fish, and they are swimming comfortably in the wooden barrel at the moment.

"Heh, my pine nuts are amazing, go to bed early, and sister will cook something delicious for you tomorrow."

A good night's sleep, the next day, Xia Mujin woke up at dawn, she boiled a pot of porridge, and made cold ground vegetables, although there were not so many ingredients at home, but she made them with her own hands, Yu Xialin and the others came Said it was delicious.

After breakfast, the family divided up their work. Xia Senlin and Xia Mujin and Xia Xiaosong still went to the mountain to cut firewood. Xia Tieshu's legs and feet were inconvenient so he bundled firewood at home. It is bundled into bundles, and it is enough to put one bundle when burning. They are reluctant to burn the big firewood, which is kept for sale, unless it is necessary to use large firewood to burn into charcoal, and it can be used to warm the body in winter.

It was raining the day before yesterday, and Damiao Mountain was all green. Xia Mujin carried her back basket and brought her bow and crossbow like yesterday, and then sent her father and Songzi away to go deep into the mountain.

Because they went out early, at this moment, the faint mist in the dense mountain forest has not dissipated. From a distance, if there is nothing, the grass on the hillside is like smoke. Together, it's like a dream.

Xia Mujin was carrying a pannier on her back, holding a cleanly shaved wooden branch in her hand while picking up overgrown grass while looking for traces of prey. Yesterday Xia Tieshu cut dozens of bamboo arrows for her, and she brought all of them with her. up.

She spent a lot of money yesterday, and her total sum is less than two taels of silver. There are still a lot of things to be made at home. The only way out now is to find more game, so that she can start doing other things when she has earned money.

"Huh..." Xia Mujin carefully picked up the bushes and searched the surroundings for movement. It had just rained, and there might be many poisonous snakes and spiders in the mountains, and she was wearing straw sandals. You have to be careful, but what happened to the injured pheasant in front of you?
