Chapter 49 Mud Frog
Fu Jingyou’s tone was low and unnatural.
"If you have nothing else to do, do you want to eat together?"
Do you want to eat together?
Of course!
The only thing that could improve the food during this period was the eggs exchanged with the team members, and Lu Miao almost felt like the bird was gone.
The mud frog sounds like a frog, maybe a bullfrog or something!
When Lu Miao thought of the tender and smooth texture and fragrant sauce of the hot pot bullfrog and fried bullfrog he had eaten before, Lu Miao's mouth almost watered, and she immediately nodded without restraint:
"Of course we have to eat together! Fu Jingyou, you are not allowed to eat alone behind my back!"
Fu Jingyou breathed out lightly, nodded and smiled slightly.
Lu Miao looked back at the direction of the educated youth point, "You go first, I'll come back later."
Fu Jingyou nodded, without any hesitation this time. After agreeing with Lu Miao, he turned around and headed towards Walk across the pond.
Lu Miao watched him walk out for a distance, then turned and walked back.
Lu Miao went back to Zhiqingdian and hastily packed up the various seasonings he had bought before. He left some of each at Zhiqingdian, and rewrapped most of the rest, ready to take them to Fu Jingyou.
Actually, he wanted to give it to Fu Jingyou just now, but there were many people in the educated youth spot today, and he was afraid that others would see and spread the word, so Lu Miao temporarily gave up the idea.
Now that Fu Jingyou has left, she will take a small path to pass there, not afraid that anyone will see her.
Lu Miao collected her things and walked out.
Ren Bingxin and the others looked at what she was carrying and knew that she was going to the team to talk to someone about having a meal together. Apart from telling her to be careful and not to be too anxious to be deceived, they didn’t say anything else. .
Chen Miaomiao, on the other hand, saw Lu Miao walking out with a large bag of things. Her eyes swayed, and she walked a few steps toward the door, subconsciously wanting to follow Lu Miao.
But before he crossed the threshold, his left hand was suddenly grabbed by someone.
Chen Miaomiao turned around and saw Gu Ying. She twitched her lips and immediately put away her impatience. She smiled weakly and asked:
"What's wrong, Gu Ying?"
Gu Ying smiled gently and shook her head, "It's okay."
Pulling Chen Miaomiao to sit down, Gu Ying smiled and called the girls to the table, "You guys are here, I don’t know much about this place. Our production team is surrounded by mountains of all sizes. When it rains from June to September every year, a lot of fungi emerge in the mountains.”
Gu Ying asked everyone: "It rained for half the night last night. Today the temperature is suitable and the rain is not heavy. I am thinking about going to the mountains. Do you want to go together?"
Before the new girls could react and speak, Yang Xiaojing was the first to raise her hand excitedly, "Go! I'm going anyway!"
The vegetables in the vegetable patch in front of the door haven't grown yet, so besides eating, Apart from eating potatoes and sweet potatoes, I relied on a few kind aunts and sisters-in-law in the team to send cabbage for support.
Although they are all for food, I can’t bear to eat them every day, every day.
If you are lucky enough to pick up a few fungi this time, you can temporarily improve your food.
Yang Xiaojing stirred up the atmosphere. Geng Xiaoyun and Ren Bing thought that if they picked up the fungus, it would be an extra mouthful of food, so they both nodded and said they wanted to go.
They were all going. Chen Miaomiao wanted to say not to go but was afraid of not fitting in, so she had no other choice but to put her thoughts away temporarily and follow Gu Ying and others to pack up and go to the mountains together...
The other side , Lu Miao took the bamboo forest path to Fu's house, and still took the back door.
Fu Jingyou opened the door for her. As soon as Lu Miao entered the backyard, she noticed the difference in the courtyard.
The Fu family's backyard is very large. The last time I came back, except for the well in the corner, which was clean, the leaves on the rest of the ground were scattered. After a few steps, there was a palm-sized weed, which was basically deserted.
But things are obviously different this time. The fallen leaves and weeds have been cleaned up. From the kitchen door to the back door of the backyard, a smooth path has been paved with broken bricks and tiles. . Under the wall not far from the well, Fu Jingyou even cultivated two small vegetable plots and planted onions and garlic. There were also about a dozen seedlings that Lu Miao didn't recognize.
"Fu Jingyou, it turns out you've been busy with this lately!" Lu Miao was surprised and couldn't help but go over and hold it in front of the vegetable field, asking questions: "What kind of seedling is this?"
Fu Jingyou Station Behind her, she calmly replied: "Persimmons are the kind of tomatoes you ate last time."
"Really? What about this one?"
"That one is pepper."
The tomato seedlings were obtained from Chen Guifen, because Lu Miao said they were delicious last time, and Fu Jingyou subconsciously remembered them.
As for the pepper seedlings, Fu Jingyou spent some effort and traveled to several places to get a few defective seedlings.
Lu Miao put her hands in front of her knees and held her chin with a smile, "When will these seedlings grow tomatoes and peppers?"
Not even two days after the seedlings were planted, she already had Start looking forward to the harvest.
"It will take at least a month and a half before planting." Fu Jingyou leaned slightly and stretched out a hand towards her, "Don't be impatient."
"I'm looking forward to it!"
Lu Miao pouted, took Fu Jingyou's hand and was pulled by him to stand up.
I don’t know when she developed the habit. She always makes some playful micro-expressions and small movements inadvertently.
The basket containing the mud frogs was hung on the door knocker of the back door of the kitchen. The mouth of the basket was sealed by Fu Jingyou with a bamboo cover. Lu Miao went into the room and put the things down, then returned to the door and bowed to look at it.
There are gaps in the wall of the bamboo basket, and the situation inside can be vaguely seen.
There were about seven or eight frogs. They didn't look like many, but they were quite big.
Most of the frogs have earthy brown stripes on their bodies, which at first glance look a bit like the stripes on tigers.
Lu Miao vaguely remembered that when she was at school, her teacher once mentioned that there was a kind of frog called the tiger-spotted frog and the frog.
In the poem, "The fragrance of rice flowers speaks of a good year, and the sound of frogs sounds heard" is what it refers to.
This tiger-spotted frog is most likely the mud frog Fu Jingyou mentioned.
In addition to the tiger-spotted frog, there were two larger ones in the basket.
The skin on their heads is bluish, and the rest of their bodies are darker green in color. There are also some bumps on their backs, which are bullfrogs.
The bullfrogs raised in later generations are a bit slow in a sense, while the wild ones are more flexible.
Lu Miao looked closer to the basket and saw that the tiger-spotted frogs inside could kick their legs, but the eyes of the two bullfrogs revealed clear stupidity. They looked extremely dull.
There is no talk of raising frogs at this time. These two bullfrogs must have been injured when they were caught, so they don't like to move.
"Fu Jingyou, you must have spent a lot of effort catching them, right?"
"No. It's hard to find them at ordinary times. On rainy days, water accumulates in the cracks between bricks and tiles, and they can't stay. It's easier. Grab some." Fu Jingyou took off the basket and said, "I'll clean it up. You sit down for a while."
Lu Miao nodded.
Fu Jingyou went to the well to clean up the mud frogs. Lu Miao looked around, moved a small stool from under the table and placed it by the door.
