In famine years, the whole country is hiding from drought corpses. I have space and I am worthy of i

Ono looked at her confused, not understanding why he was beaten again.

"Next time you dare to scratch randomly, I will bite your little one, believe it or not."

When Ono heard her threat, he shrank his neck and nodded obediently.

Shen Nan patted his head with satisfaction, "If you know your mistakes, you can improve a lot!"

"Ahem!" Wei Ci stood at the bottom of the slope and looked at the two of them. He coughed violently. Could these two people be any more numb? It turns out that this kid has been quarreling for a long time and is the second sister’s sweetheart!

Why does he have the feeling that he is very unnecessary? Should he walk away immediately, but he was exposed just now.

Shen Nan was frightened by Wei Ci's cough. She quickly released Xiao Ye and squatted down to pretend to tie her shoelaces.

No, these shoes have no laces! ! !

It's so embarrassing, so embarrassing. Brother Wei doesn't think the two of them are there. This is too embarrassing.

"What...brother, I think you may...you misunderstood!"

"Two..." Wei Ci was about to say something, but suddenly stopped and stared at Shen Nan with a fierce look, or rather behind him.

"Second sister, be careful, there is a snake behind you." Wei Ci said as he pulled out the small dagger hanging on his waist.

Ono was one step ahead of him, and quickly grabbed the snake's head and whipped it on the bamboo quickly.

Shen Nan turned his head and looked at the snake in Ono's hand in surprise. If she guessed correctly, it was a bamboo-leaf green snake, highly poisonous, with a pointed head and a red tail, not a green snake.

Xiaoye got angry and beat the green snake hard, and Wei Ci also walked to him, ready to lend a helping hand at any time.

Ono was very strong, and the snake was still wrapped around his arm at first. After a while, it gradually lost its strength, and finally died completely in Ono's hands.

Shen Nan's face was still a little pale. She was indeed scared just now. Although she was not timid, if Xiao Ye and Brother Wei weren't around just now, she would definitely have been bitten.

She was really afraid of things like snakes, which were much more disgusting than small soft-bodied bugs and were also poisonous. Even if she could buy the serum, the pain after being bitten would be very troublesome to treat.

Although Xu Qi's medical skills were superb, she still didn't dare to gamble.

Wei Ci looked at her scared look and felt guilty.

It was because he was too careless just now that he failed to protect them.

She didn't dare to leave now and kept standing beside them. Shen Nan took Xiaoye's hand to check. Fortunately, he was wearing gloves and moved quickly, so he was not injured.

The green bamboo leaf was thrown ten meters away by Ono. Shen Nan was a little confused because the mall just reminded that the green bamboo leaf could be sold for more than two taels.

Although this thing was scary, the money she got was not in vain, so she planned to sell the snake when Wei Ci couldn't see it, and then buy some delicious food to treat herself and Xiaoye to calm down the shock.

Not long after, the opportunity came. The two of them waved to Wei Ci and asked him to get something. Wei Ci originally wanted them to bring it up, but Shen Nan asked him to go down and get it.

"Brother, it's okay. Go get it. I have Xiaoye here."

Wei Ci thought it would be okay to go down and come back soon, so he quickly went down the slope.

In the blind spot of Wei Ci's vision, Shen Nan quickly ran to the place where Xiaoye had just thrown the poisonous snake, and sold it to the mall, successfully earning more than twenty cents and ten cents.

Ono saw her running to that position and immediately pulled her away. Shen Nan stuck out his tongue and let him drag her away.

From now on, she doesn't yearn for the bamboo forest that much. After all, no matter how much she likes it, it is not as important as life. It is estimated that she will never come to the bamboo forest alone in the future.

Now that spring has begun, hibernating snakes should indeed wake up. This thing was really scary. When she went back, she asked Xiaoqi to make some snake repellent and sprinkle it in the yard.

Wei Ci brought back two baskets and two hoes. He put down the pannier and took out the heavy pannier inside.

"Num, second sister, here you go." Wei Ci handed her a hoe.

As for the other one, he obviously wanted to keep it for himself. Shen Nan didn't force it.

After giving him a demonstration, he took Xiaoye to dig bamboo shoots.

"There are many bamboo shoots that have just sprouted in the forest. Don't look at them. They have been growing under the soil for a long time. So when digging, you have to dig aside and try not to dig up the roots."

Shen Nan demonstrated to the two of them, and both of them listened very seriously.

She and Xiao Ye shared a hoe. She dug out a complete one by herself first. After Wei Ci read it, she went to dig next to it.

Judging from his appearance, although he was unskilled, he was more meticulous and patient. After a while, he dug out a complete bamboo shoot. Shen Nan was completely relieved and taught Xiao Ye to dig too.

After digging the bamboo shoots, they picked up a few more piles of bamboo shoot shells on the way back. They estimated that the wood was enough, and the group returned to Shen's house in a grand manner.

All the wood was sent to the backyard. Apart from a dam for drying firewood and carriages and horses, there was still a lot of space left in the front yard.

Shen Nan poured the bamboo shoots on the ground, called Sanwa to bring a kitchen knife and a stool, and started peeling the bamboo shoots there.

"Xiaoye, go and bring me the big wooden basin and the bucket. I want to use them."

Xiao Ye was very obedient and ran to the kitchen to get it. After a while, he brought over a big wooden basin and a dustpan. He also specially found two clean rags and put them aside.

Shen Nan put the peeled bamboo shoot shells into a basin and washed them with water.

Then they were all cut into slices. After the third baby finished his work, he ran to the front yard to watch the second sister cut the bamboo shoots.

He looked at the tender bamboo shoots, stuffed a piece into his mouth, and then spit it out: "Bah, bah, bah... it's so bitter!"

Shen Nan glared at him: "I told you to be greedy and eat randomly. Didn't you see that this is still raw? You still eat it."

"It looks too tender, I can't help it."

Shen Nan ignored him and cut all the dozens of kilograms of bamboo shoots into slices.

Nian kneaded the dough and came to help her cut it. The mother and daughter worked hard for a while before they cut out the forty or fifty kilograms of bamboo shoots, added salt to the pot, and put the bamboo shoots into the pot to cook.

Everyone in the village knows that bamboo shoots are bitter, but everyone also knows that bamboo shoots can fill their stomachs.

During previous famine years, many people relied on mud and leaves to feed themselves. It was hard to find even a tender bamboo, let alone such tender bamboo shoots. Therefore, even if the bamboo shoots were bitter, the farmers did not dislike them.

It's just that people's lives have improved in the past ten or two decades. Many people no longer eat bamboo shoots. There are more and more bamboos in the mountains and the bamboo forests are also expanding.

The people living in the mountains also gathered on the flat land at the foot of the mountains, and there were fewer and fewer people in the mountains.

After the bamboo shoots were cooked, Shen Nan scooped them into a basin and soaked them in water. Nian asked in confusion, "Nan Nan, what are you doing?"

"Mom, the bamboo shoots have to be soaked in water so they won't be bitter. Believe me, these bamboo shoots will definitely not be bitter."

Nian nodded. If the bamboo shoots produced in this way are really not bitter, then their family will have another dish in the future.
