green grass on the stream

It rained intermittently for more than ten days, and the salt in the salt jar was all deliquescent. When Qi Yanfan felt that he was as damp as a quilt and was about to wring out the water, the sun finally pulled the clouds out like a shy little girl. A shy face.

The ground in the yard is all wet. After being exposed to the sun for a while, the water gradually evaporates. Because it has been tidied up in the early stage, it will not stick to the mud when stepped on.

"It should be sunny today." Qi Yanfan stood in the yard and stretched.

"Well, it should be sunny." Ji Tingyu squinted at the sun and said.

Qi Yanfan cheered, and opened all the doors in the room, even the doors of the cabinets in the room, to let the moisture escape.

During this time, the chicks who settled down in the kitchen grew up a lot, with long feathers growing on their wings and tails, and hairs on their heads.This group of half-grown chickens are all nested in the kitchen, even if it is cleaned every day, there is still an unpleasant smell.Qi Yanfan thought about building a nest for them in the yard.

Ji Tingyu said: "Shall we go up the mountain to have a look?"

"Okay." Qi Yanfan followed out with a bamboo basket on his back.

The road up the mountain has grass and trees that absorb water, but it is not very muddy. As long as you don't step on the green grass, it will not slip.

Some of the dead wood that I didn't have time to pick up had already been soaked in rainwater and rotted, but they gave birth to clusters of juicy mushrooms.The types of mushrooms that Qi Yanfan can recognize are also very limited, most of which are shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and Coprinus comatus, which are common in supermarkets.However, he was lucky this time, and he also found a piece of fungus growing on the trunk of a rotten tree.

"I recognize this, it's fungus."

"Be careful of your feet." Ji Tingyu held his elbow and helped him walk carefully to pick it.

The moment Qi Yanfan stepped on the foot, there was a sudden rustling sound, a gray afterimage, and a flying arrow whizzed forward far away, scaring Qi Yanfan a lot.

Ji Tingyu's hand holding him tightened suddenly.

Look carefully, it turns out that it is a gray wild rabbit.

"Oh, you scared me." Qi Yanfan laughed, and Ji Tingyu's face softened a lot.

The rabbit jumped forward in panic, got its head into a pile of weeds and remained motionless.Qi Yanfan patted his chest, and exchanged a glance with Ji Tingyu, what is this stupid rabbit doing?

Ji Tingyu signaled him not to move, walked over gently by himself, reached out and held it down.It turned out that the rabbit jumped headlong into the grass in a panic, and got its head caught by the vines. This truth came without any effort.

"What should I do, do you want to eat rabbit meat?" Ji Tingyu asked while holding the rabbit's long ears with one hand and the rabbit's buttocks with the other.

"Uh, I don't know how to burn..." Qi Yanfan looked at the gray rabbit's little nose bouncing up and down, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Then why don't you show it to the shopkeeper Chen, he might ask for rabbits when he collects mountain goods."

"Okay." Qi Yanfan thought it was a good idea.

The two simply went back home and tied up the rabbit with cloth strips, and Ji Tingyu took the rabbit to Taohua Village.

Qi Yanfan said: "The road is slippery, you must be careful on the road."

"Don't go up the mountain to get bamboo, don't be in a hurry," Ji Tingyu took two steps, then turned around and said, "Compare your heart to your heart."

Qi Yanfan's heart seemed to be slapped, and he touched the position of his heart with his hand...

Hasn't this heart already fallen?

Ji Tingyu came back from Taohua Village soon, and it happened that Li Xiaogai's uncle was transporting firewood while the sky was clear. He took the rabbits and paid more because the rabbits were alive and had intact fur.

Ji Tingyu handed over the heavy bag of copper coins to Qi Yanfan for safekeeping, and said, "The shopkeeper Chen said that he would also accept mushrooms and the like. He is still in Taohua Village tomorrow, so we can show him."

"Then let's go shopping later, pick more mushrooms, and send them to him tomorrow morning, while they are fresh."

The two put aside the matter of repairing the chicken coop for a while, and went up the front mountain and the back mountain to look for mushrooms.The humidity in the mountains is heavier than other places, so these saprophytic fungi are willing to grow very much.Those brightly colored ones must be poisonous, Qi Yanfan didn't touch them, and he picked off all the other hard-to-distinguish ones and put them in the bamboo basket.

After visiting these frequented places, the two of them also got a bamboo basket and a bamboo basket.

For dinner, apart from the fried oyster mushrooms that Qi Yanfan knew, there was also a dish of fresh steamed round beans.

The round beans he planted in the early spring took advantage of the rain to grow rapidly, climbing, blooming, and producing pods quickly.But at this time, the round bean pods are not full, and they look deflated, and the shape of the small round beans inside can only be seen from the two close-fitting pods.At this time, picking and steaming is also a luxury, because what you eat is not the round beans inside, but its taste and texture.

Pick off the whole bean pods and wash them, put them on a plate and steam them on the steaming rack, without even adding seasonings.When it came out of the pot, I saw that the bean pods were so green and compelling, but when they were put in the mouth, they were tender and tender, with a fresh and sweet taste.This sweetness is different from the sweetness of sugar. It is the unique sweetness of the green beans before they grow, but the mature beans do not have it.

Ji Tingyu said: "This home-cooked dish is really elegant."

Qi Yanfan said: "The simpler the cooking, the more it can highlight the taste of the ingredients." He paused, then asked, "Do you like it?"

"Yes, Not Bad."

As the saying goes, if you want to capture a person's heart, you must first capture his stomach.Qi Yanfan thought in agreement.

Early the next morning, the two went to Li Xiaogai's house to hand over mushrooms.After Uncle Li Xiaogai's selection, half of them met the requirements. He said: "There are some varieties here that I don't know, so let's put them aside. If the shopkeeper of the restaurant says they can be used, I will pay you two."

"Of course we can trust Big Brother Chen."

"Oh, by the way, I forgot yesterday," said the shopkeeper Chen again, "Last time, Xiao Gao mentioned that you wanted some fabrics, so I brought back a few common fabrics, and you can use them if you think they are suitable. It doesn't matter."

I didn't expect that the last time I just mentioned it briefly, the shopkeeper Chen really brought the fabric.Qi Yanfan saw that there were quite a few horses, including the most common coarse cloth materials, gray and black, as well as fine cotton cloth for underwear, and some blue calico.

"I've got a lot of money, just talk about what you need." The shopkeeper Chen saw his doubts, and said, "Last time, Xiao Gao told me that you helped him sell things. I really want to thank you. I Every time I bring some things back by the way, I also hope that this child can make a living. The price of this batch of cloth will definitely be cheaper than the cloth shops in the town, and I will trouble you to help Xiao Gao when the time comes, and the wages will be paid to you."

Qi Yanfan didn't expect that he got such a bargain, he looked at Ji Tingyu, and Ji Tingyu nodded to him.He smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, thank you very much."

The two bought some fabrics and left. Qi Yanfan finally had a chance to ask his question. He said, "Li Xiaogai can sell it herself, so why pay me for it?"

Ji Tingyu said: "But according to Li Xiaogai's temperament, I don't know how long it will take to sell these things. Although I hired you, the goods will be sold quickly. This is a big deal for a small price."

Qi Yanfan was right when he thought about it, if he hired a good salesperson, the boss could earn a lot of money in his pocket.

When Ji Tingyu got home, he went up to the mountain to cut bamboo. Qi Yanfan divided a two-foot-square piece of blue calico into two pieces from the middle, took bamboo nails and fixed them on the door connecting the kitchen and the bedroom. It was a beautiful curtain. .

He admired it for a while, and then heard the sound of Ji Tingyu dragging the bamboo down the mountain.
