Chapter 74 A great harvest
The system may have been suppressed this summer. After entering the mountain, it has been whispering in her ears to remind her what herbs are around.
Lin Shu was exhausted at the end of the day. It could be said that except for sitting down and eating a steamed bun at noon, he never rested in the middle of the day. He kept digging, digging, and picking.
Although we are tired, today’s harvest is huge.
On this day alone, she earned more than 300 yuan, and her balance has reached 6,645 yuan, which is one step closer to becoming a household with 10,000 yuan.
On the way to the Xiatao hillside, Lin Shu dug up a few more wild yams, weighing about ten kilograms.
She did not sell these ten kilograms to the system. She planned to take them home to stew soup for her family or make them into yam balls.
Walking to the hillside of Xiatao, a certain distance away from Xiatao, I heard the flapping of pheasants.
This is prey!
[System, are there no venomous snakes around here? 】
【.Not found yet. 】
【That’s good. 】
Lin Shu trotted towards the place where there was a noise. A colorful pheasant fluttered in the weeds. When he saw her coming, it fluttered even more fiercely.
"Such a beautiful feather must be a male pheasant."
Hearing movement in another bush, Lin Shu walked over and found that he had trapped a hare, so he took it away.
Nearly twenty traps were used to trap three pheasants and two hares on this hillside. The harvest was pretty good.
I was able to get so many traps this time mainly because I entered the deep mountains. People who cut firewood in the village would not go so deep. The vegetation was lush and there were many wild animals.
By the time we got down the mountain, the sun had already set.
"Little sister, what did you dig up today?"
As soon as Lin Shu entered the door, Lu Yinhua came over and helped her take off the backpack from her shoulders.
"There are wild yams on top, and pheasants and rabbits are buried under the yams. Please help me, sister-in-law, to get them out." Lin Shu handed the basket to her and carried an empty kettle into the kitchen. It didn't take long for him to come out with a half-kettle of Liangbaikai. .
Lu Yinhua poured out the yams and found that there were a lot of pheasants and hares at the bottom of the basket. She raised her eyebrows in shock and teased: "Little sister, you really worked hard for the engagement banquet the day after tomorrow."
Liu Xiao'e came out after hearing the commotion. When she heard Lu Yinhua's words, she said angrily: "What are you talking about?" Well, our in-laws have come all the way from the provincial capital, so we can’t lose our etiquette. Having a heartier meal can also make them feel that we value them.”
“Yes, yes, mom is right. I will lock up these wild animals." Lu Yinhua smiled and carried the pheasants and rabbits to the utility room.
Liu Xiao'e turned to look at Lin Shu who was drinking water: "After running in the mountains all day, I quickly went to take a shower and eat later."
Lin Shu didn't see anyone else in the family when he came in, so he asked: "I know, where are my dad and the others? Haven't they finished work yet?" The one I ordered was Zhu Zhiqing. I don’t know why he actually cut his hand. You said it wasn’t his first time doing farm work, and he was so careless. I heard that he cut his hand. It's more serious. The blood was flowing loudly, which scared the captain. He asked your dad to use your bicycle to take him to the village hospital to bandage the wound."
Lin Shu raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything. What, in the last life, that kid used a sprained foot to find an excuse to go back to the city to recuperate, but this time it was a cut on his hand. It seems that many things will change when she comes back again.
Not long after, several children came back dragging two baskets of pigweed. When Lu Yinhua saw that they were dragging baskets back, she started to lecture them.
“You prodigal kids, how can you drag a basket underground? How many times can a good basket withstand you dragging it?”
"If you can't weave this basket yourself, it will cost you a few cents and a dollar to buy it from the supply and marketing cooperative. Isn't that money? What a waste."
Lin Shu came out after taking a bath, and Lu Yinhua was already chopping pigweed. , while wiping her hair, she heard her second sister-in-law mutter something, so she said: " Sister-in-law, stop nagging, the reason why the children dragged them back is because they cut too much pigweed and they can’t lift it. If they don’t drag it back, will they throw away the cut pigweed?”
The beans are soaked? One night, after breakfast the next day, the sister-in-law carried a load of soaked beans to the production team's mill.
The second sister-in-law takes care of the poultry, livestock and children at home. Comrade Liu Xiao'e goes to the villagers with whom she has good relations to borrow bowls and chopsticks. She will have a banquet with guests tomorrow and there are two tables of bowls and chopsticks. She must borrow them today and clean them.
Lin Shu did not go up the mountain today. He stayed at home and helped to process the pheasants and hares. The pheasants should be stewed and cooked, and the hares should be fried. Otherwise, it will be too late to process them tomorrow. If they are not cooked, the flavor will change.
It was almost noon when Lin Dashan came back, and his three brothers followed him into the house.
"Dad, why did you go with my brother and the others?"
Lin Dashan parked his bicycle, "I rode back and caught up with him on the loess slope outside the village. Theirs." "I went back to the county yesterday for your engagement. Why didn't you come to take over what I had?" Lin Gang said.
Lin Wei explained with a smile: "The third child slept in our rental house last night and came back by car together this morning."
Lin Shu glanced at the cloth bag in Lin Gang's hand, which only contained a few changes of clothes. She snorted and turned around to help Lin Dashan pour tea.
Lin Gang was so angry at her cold snort that he complained directly to Lin Wei: "Brother, look at her, she really doesn't regard me as her third brother as her elder brother."
Lin Wei rolled his eyes at him: "My little sister has restrained herself. If you would have dared to find trouble like this, I don't believe she would have been able to resist beating you."
Lin Gang: "." Where does this hurt my brother? ?
"Dad, you didn't have any rest at the township health center last night, okay?" Lin Shu asked, seeing that his expression was not good.
Lin Dashan took the tea handed over by his daughter and drank the cup, "Fortunately, because I arrived late yesterday, I couldn't come back after treating the wound, so I could only write a hospitalization order. There was an empty bed in the ward, so I can lie down and fall asleep.”
It’s just that I’m older and haven’t had a good night’s sleep, so I’m not in good spirits when I wake up early in the morning.
"Zhu Zhiqing is back with you?"
"No, his wound this time is very large and he needs to be hospitalized for infusion and anti-inflammation. He will not be able to come back for the time being."
< br>Speaking of this matter, Lin Dashan asked Lin Gang to go to the educated youth center to inform Zhu Zhengliang’s lover, Wei Miao, and ask her to take leave to deliver daily necessities to the health center.
Lin Wei: "Little sister, are you ready at home?"
Lin Shu nodded: "Everything is ready. Sister, I asked someone to bring the letter."
The conditions in this era are difficult. Lin Shu had never thought about making a big deal, but as the eldest sister, Lin Xue still had to inform everyone, and other relatives could forget about it.
Lin Dashan was worried and went to the kitchen to look around: "Young maknae, please write a menu for me to see."
When I went to the kitchen, I couldn't see exactly what dishes were prepared. .
Lin Shu gave him the best menu.
Lin Dashan took it and looked at it seriously, Lin Wei and Lin Guang also came closer.
"Little sister, have you gone up the mountain to trap game again?"
"Well, I went into the mountain yesterday. I was lucky enough to get enough meat and vegetables for tomorrow."
< br>Lin Guang gave her a thumbs up, amazing.
When my sister-in-law comes back from grinding the soy milk, she starts making tofu after lunch. In the evening, the tofu is put into a mold and pressed. After slowly draining the water, it can be unmolded in the morning and fried to make flipped tofu.
In fact, the best way to make Yong Tau Fu during a banquet is to make fried tofu.
However, for people of this era, flipped tofu is also delicious. After all, the batter on the outside is made of egg liquid and fried again, so the taste should not be too fragrant. .
After dinner in the evening, the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law cooked another pot of eggs, and then used red dye to dye all the eggs red. This is the red egg that is given to people in rural areas on happy occasions.
"Youngest, have you finished knitting the sweater I asked you to knit?" Liu Xiao'e asked.
Lin Shu helped dye the eggs together. After listening to the question, he nodded: "It's done, don't worry."
Liu Xiao'e said sincerely: "I'm doing this for your own good. The Gu family's conditions are better than ours." It’s so much better. I’m afraid that my mother-in-law’s psychological gap will be too great.”
Knitting a sweater for Gu Jiu will at least let her mother-in-law know that Lin Shu also treats her son with care.
"I know, Mom."
There is another chapter in the evening.
