Chapter 612 Picking up wild goods after autumn

Chapter 612 Picking up wild goods after autumn

When a family of three had almost finished picking honeysuckle from a wall, Zhang Jianwen came.

“Hey, your family is asking for honeysuckle?”

Pick it when you ask for it, which means picking vegetables when you ask for them, and picking fruits when you ask for fruits. Many people in the village say this, especially It's the older generation.

“I thought that your tree, which was just planted, wouldn’t bloom this year, but unexpectedly it bloomed all over the wall.”

“Hey, you’re lucky, too. Go down and live quickly, just in time to bloom."

While talking to Zhang Jianwen, Zhang An's hands didn't stop. Seeing that there was only a little left, the sooner they could be picked, the better. .

"I can see that this is not luck. You have skill in your hands. Of those fruit trees behind your house, I have never seen one that was not alive."

Zhang Jianwen knew very well when the honeysuckle plant in Zhang An’s yard was planted.

I thought it would be good if it was planted and alive, but I didn’t expect that it not only survived but also bloomed so many flowers in such a short period of time.

Although there is only one tree, there are already several baskets of honeysuckle picked on the ground.

"That Zhang An, do you know about Chen Ze?"

After chatting for a while, Zhang Jianwen got down to business.

“I know, he told me the day he came back, why, he has already gone to see my uncle?”

Although Zhang Jianwen didn’t say it explicitly, Zhang An already knew what happened. thing.

"Well, he came to me and told me about this two days ago, but it's not a small matter. I can't make up my mind alone, so I came to you and waited until night , you go to my place, I will call Lao Zhao and Lao Huang, and we will do the sum together."

Zhang Jianwen said that opening a hotel is not a small project. He is dozens of years old and this is still his first time. An encounter.

Although the investor was Chen Ze and the money spent was not from the village, the more he thought about it, the more he became confused.

After several days, he was still at the end of his rope, so he simply gave up and called everyone over to discuss it together. After all, three cobblers were still supporting one Zhuge Liang.

“Okay uncle, I’ll go there after dinner in the evening.”

Zhang An knew that Zhang Jianwen would come to see him, so he readily agreed.

"What are you going to eat? How could your uncle miss you when he calls you? Go make breakfast and come to my place for a drink. I will also discuss with you guys how to give Zhang Ping a horoscope." Things."

Hearing this, Zhang Jianwen stared at Zhang An and said.

"Okay, okay, promise to go there early, okay, uncle."

To say who is the family that often invites guests to dinner in the village, it must be the village elder's uncle's family.

Not to mention the time when pigs were killed during the Chinese New Year, whenever there was something that needed everyone to discuss together, he would always call everyone together.

It’s just that in the past six months, many things in the village have been on the right track, so I haven’t been to their house for a long time to eat and drink, which made Zhang An suddenly feel uncomfortable.

"Anyway, come early, don't let me come over and shout again."

After saying that, Zhang Jianwen left.

Speaking of Zhang An’s family, with the efforts of the family of three, they finally finished harvesting a wall of honeysuckle just before the sun rose in the sky.

The next step is to take advantage of the fact that it has just been harvested and the freshness is still very high, so it needs to be processed quickly.

Because Zhang An initially planned to use them to replace tea leaves and change the taste, the process of preparing them was not troublesome and was similar to the process of preparing tea leaves.

Just stir-fry over low heat and then dry in the sun.

The weather in October also happens to be pretty good. The sun is still warm every day, which is perfect for drying.

If it were a little later, when even cloudy days came and the sun wouldn't be seen for several days, the only way to do it would be to work in the shade.

After a while, Wang Fang brought the small stove used for making tea from home to the yard, and then prepared to light a fire.

But Zhang An was not idle. Instead, he poured the honeysuckle in the bamboo basket into a large dustpan and rummaged through it to remove the impurities mixed in during harvesting.

When the small stove was lit and the heat was in place, Zhang An had already rummaged through two baskets of honeysuckle.

At this time, Wang Fang had also brought out the large iron pot specially used for making tea at home and cleaned it.

When you first put the pot on the pot, you must moisten the pot, but you cannot use other things, otherwise it will easily skew when frying the honeysuckle.

However, Zhang An has already made preparations. When harvesting just now, he had already put aside the honeysuckle that was growing at the bottom or was not in good condition. At this time, he can directly use the honeysuckle to moisten the pot. After frying, It’s not a pity to throw it away.

Wang Fang is very good at frying green tea, and she has done a lot of frying in the past two years, so her skills can be said to be very good, so she is even more comfortable in frying.

To fry honeysuckle, you don’t need to fry it into strips like tea leaves, or fry it back and forth several times. In this case, you only need to fry it a little.

If Zhang An hadn't planned to use it to make tea, he could have dried it in the sun.

Just like this, although the medicinal properties of honeysuckle are maintained very well, the taste is much worse when soaked, and it is also slightly bitter.

So Zhang An chose the more troublesome method of frying, so that it would taste better in the future.

At noon, all the honeysuckle has been roasted and dried in the yard.

Just seeing that such a large area of ​​​​the yard was occupied, Xiao Siqi became unhappy.

Because this yard has always been a place for him to play with cars, but now it is covered with honeysuckle, and he can no longer drive around in the car, so he pouted and started to lose his temper.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore, grandma will move them upstairs to dry them."

Not happy to see her precious grandson, Wang Fang hurried over to save her.

"Mom, stop bothering him. You can't coddle him anymore. Just leave him here to dry. He won't be tired by moving him around."

Just when Wang Fang was about to take action. By that time, Su Ying had come back from school.

As soon as I saw the little guy losing his temper again, I immediately acted like a strict mother.

"I know how to play day by day. I dare to lose my temper when my wings are stiff. I have been playing since morning and I am still not satisfied. The sun is so bright. How long do you plan to play? Hurry up and take the car home. Go and put it away.”

Not to mention, Su Ying’s status in this family is really not guaranteed.

The little guy is fearless, except for his mother.

Su Ying just said a few words to him. She had already flown to nowhere with her angry look on her face. She obediently pushed the little jeep back to the main room and left it there, as if she had just made a fuss at home. It wasn't him who was angry.

After dinner in the afternoon, Zhang An placed a deck chair under the tree in the yard.

Then I lay on it comfortably with my legs crossed, taking care of the honeysuckle drying in the yard.

The little guy was scolded by Su Ying and stopped playing with the car. Instead, he ran over and rode on Zhang An's feet.

Whenever Zhang An moved up and down with the recliner, the little guy was having a great time just like riding a horse.

Just when Zhang An was lying comfortably, a sparrow flew into the yard, apparently wanting to harm the honeysuckle on the ground. Even if they don't eat it, if they poop two pieces of bird poop in it, it will be extremely disgusting.

“Hoo, hoo, hoo~”

How could Zhang An just watch and ignore him? He came to the yard just to take care of him, and he quickly got up from the recliner. Drive them away.

When the little guy saw his father's appearance, he also learned to wave his hands to scare the sparrows that had not yet landed.

It’s just that these things are very naughty. They flew away as soon as Zhang An came up, and they came again as soon as Zhang An lay down.

After going back and forth several times, Zhang An was really annoyed.

I simply recruited the flower head and asked it to teach these sparrows how to be birds.

These thieves from home were frightened to death by the Huatou family flying out a few days ago, but they don't have a long memory at all. They have only been here for such a short time and they have already forgotten how to write the word "death".

Originally, Zhang An was thinking that the Huatou family had killed a batch of them some time ago. Although sparrows are annoying, as long as they don't come to act as monsters, Zhang An is willing to fight with them. .

But now they are not only dissatisfied, but are flying over to provoke them again and again. Zhang An can only let Huatou come out to review for them his personal feelings before death.

After Huatou stood guard, the whole yard suddenly became quiet.

The little guy is still riding on his father's forty-five size feet.

I don’t know when, while playing, the little guy crawled from his feet to Zhang An’s lap, and lay in his arms and fell asleep without knowing it.

Zhang An didn't pay attention at first, just closing his eyes and concentrating. When he realized it, the little guy had already blown bubbles on him.

But it’s not the little guy’s fault. Being tired in spring and autumn is not just talk. He almost squinted just now.

Although the autumn air is crisp and the sun is not small, the wind is blowing outside. Because he is afraid that the little guy will catch a cold, Zhang An quickly and carefully picked him up and put him back on the bed in the room so that he could sleep peacefully. With.

After all this, Zhang An was exhausted and exhausted.

So I lay on the chair and looked at the sky, watching the clouds being blown by the wind and moving from east to west.

Nowadays, it is no longer as lively as in summer. The chirping of cicadas in the trees, the chirping of birds in the air, and the sound of frogs in the fields have long since quietly disappeared.

"Brother An, go for a walk in the mountains."

Just as Zhang An was looking up at the stars and feeling extremely emotional, Huang Ming stretched out his head and shouted to him at the gate.

"What are you doing in the mountains? You don't have to look after the store anymore?"

Zhang An was a little surprised to see Damingzi coming over.

Ever since he opened his fishing tackle shop, this guy has been there every step of the way during the day, guarding his precious shop every day.

“Hey, you don’t have to keep watching. There have been a lot less people fishing in the past two days. Not many people go to my place. Xiaoying can watch it alone. It’s already autumn in the past two days. It’s time to go It’s time to pick up wild goods.”

At this time, there are far fewer people coming to fish than in the summer.

Because many people have gone home to work on the autumn harvest, and then they have to start sowing winter rapeseed, which is not leisurely at all.

"Then wait for me, I'll tell my mother, and then I'll go find you."

The weather won't change much this season, and the honeysuckle in the yard can stay in the sun until half the night.

The flowery ones are standing guard and are not worried about the thieves from their hometown coming to cause trouble.

After Zhang An went home and told his mother, he prepared to go find Huang Ming with a backpack on his back.

Although he grows pecans and chestnuts in space, there is a different kind of fun in picking them up in the mountains.

And he also thought of using the excuse of going to the mountains to pick up wild goods to take out the things in the space.

After walking a few steps out of the house, Zhang An suddenly remembered that Chen Ze was also at home these days.

Thinking about Zhang Jianwen not replying yet about building a hotel, that guy should be quite idle these days, so Zhang An turned around and went to Dongli Courtyard to call him together.

After arriving at their house, as expected by Zhang An, the old man of the Chen family was playing chess with other old men outside, while Chen Ze was lying down in the yard "fishing".

As soon as he heard that Zhang An was going to pick up things in the mountains, he immediately got up and went to the water pipe to wash away his sleepy eyes. Then he also found a small backpack to go with Zhang An.

Arriving at Huang Ming's house, Zhang An found that Zhou Yang was also there. No need to think that it was Huang Ming who called him.

The business of Zhou Yang's restaurant was really booming a few days ago, but the post-holiday sequelae are gradually showing up these days, the flow of people is decreasing day by day, and their place is starting to return to its original state.

Otherwise, Zhou Yang would not have given up his family business and ran out to follow them into the mountains.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's set off."

Huang Ming saw Zhang An coming, so he greeted him and set off.

When you come to the mountains, you can see that many trees have begun to lose their leaves. Even if there are still fallen leaves on the trees, they are almost yellow.

At this rate, it won’t be long before they become bare.

"This time we won't go to the previous places. It's probably been picked up by someone first. Let's move to a new place. My father just told me."

On the road, Huang Ming took the lead and told everyone all the way.

In the past, there were several places in the mountains that were good places to pick up wild goods. They were places that Zhang An and the others would visit every year.

It’s just that at this time of year, there are not many people in the village going to the mountains to pick up wild goods.

Everyone has already explored the places we visited before.

If you go earlier, you can still get a good harvest. If you go a step later, the good things will be picked up by others, leaving only some disgusting things.

It was like this last year. It was just a day or two late and I didn’t pick up anything good.

Zhang An doesn’t care. He goes into the mountains to play around, and then he can take the things out of the space and take them home.

But Huang Ming is different. He doesn't look down on the remaining scum.

So this year he was too lazy to compete with others and asked Mr. Huang again for a few new locations.

Zhou Yang and the others don’t care, as long as they can pick it up, they can go anywhere.

So under the leadership of Huang Ming, several people dived into the mountain.

“Okay, we’re at the place, everyone is ready to take action.”

After walking over the mountains and ridges to a large forest near the sandy land, Huang Ming pointed to the front not far away and said.

“This place is really good. It seems that no one knows about it, and I don’t know how the second master found it.”

Zhang An looked forward and found that there were several trees growing here. Huge chestnut tree, many chestnuts on the tree had their shells exploded and fell all over the ground.
