Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Look at the parrot in your hand.

It must have been because its wings were soaked yesterday that it took shelter under the eaves.

When I heard Wang Dongmei's call, I started to learn it.

"Little guy, stop scaring people." Xu Wenyan let him go.

The beautiful bird spread its wings and flew away.

It was time for Xu Wenyan to get down to business, so the whole family went up the mountain with backpacks.

There are only a few days to pick mushrooms in autumn. If you pick them later, they will be old. At that time, the mushrooms are not delicious at all and have a very bad taste.

For example, when Xu Wenyan first arrived, the porcini mushrooms he picked all had big caps open, and they were very tough when he ate them, so he didn't get to pick some delicious mushroom species.

Xiaohu and Rong Xiaoliu were asked to take care of the younger ones. These two were careless, so they just took the younger ones to pick them at the doorstep. Xu Wenyan would lead the others forward under their watchful eyes.

Before we even walked into the woods, we saw the roadside full of tricholoma and milk mushrooms. The taste of these two types of mushrooms is mainly fresh. No matter what they are fried in, they are very fragrant and have a similar taste.

When picking mushrooms, you must prepare a knife and scrape the bottom clean, otherwise the dirt will get into the cap and be difficult to clean.

There are many kinds of mushrooms in the mountains. If you don’t recognize a mushroom, ask Xu Wenyan first. Any mushroom Xu Wenyan doesn’t recognize will be treated as poisonous.

Don't eat mushrooms randomly. If there is a poisonous mushroom in it, then half of the basket will be wasted.

A light dose will cause hallucinations, where you can see little people flying all over the sky. A severe dose will cause them to lie directly on the board. So, it's time to start the meal.

In less than half an hour, everyone's backpacks were filled with various mushrooms. Xu Wenyan asked Wang Cuijuan and Chen Xingjie to go back first so that they could dry some mushrooms today.

If you pick too many today, you can put them in the earthen kiln to dry. After all, these mushrooms cannot be kept for too long and must be processed as soon as possible.

Dried mushrooms are not as delicious as sun-dried mushrooms, but it doesn’t matter.

Use a small stick to gently pick up the raised part of the fallen leaves, and a mushroom will appear. They are next to each other, which is very relaxing.

"Wen Yan, come and look, there are a lot of small hairy fruits here."

Hearing Wang Dongmei's voice, Xu Wenyan picked up a red mushroom on the ground and went over immediately. He looked at the thin vines on the ground, some of which were clinging to the trees, and some were hanging straight down.

The vines are covered with small, brown, soft, fuzzy fruits.

"These are kiwis! Sister Dongmei, we're rich!" The smile on Xu Wenyan's face showed how precious the thing in front of him was.

Wild kiwi fruit contains a lot of vitamin C, which is of great help to them who have been eating meat for a long time.

If you eat meat for a long time, your poop will become extremely smelly and may also lead to constipation.

Xu Wenyan immediately cleared out a backpack and asked Zhou Jianye and others to carry back some mushrooms, and then began to pick these wild kiwis.

Xu Wenyan touched them and found some were soft and some were still hard. Xu Wenyan picked up a larger kiwi fruit and pinched the skin to make it easier to peel.

It tastes sour and sweet, with the sweetness being the main part.

"Wife...I can't peel it out."

Looking at the kiwi fruit in Chen Sanlin's hand that was about to be crushed into pieces, Xu Wenyan shook his head helplessly. After all, these wild kiwi fruits were too small, and it was really difficult for him to peel them with his big hands.

Xu Wenyan took it from him and peeled the green fruit immediately: "Open your mouth."

Chen Sanlin looked at him and smiled innocently, the ones his wife peeled were always sweet.

As long as the size was up to standard, Xu Wenyan picked them all, no matter whether they were hard or soft. The hard ones could be softened, but if they were released into the wild, the squirrels and birds would eat them all, and they would then be useless.

This is a rare source of vitamins, and Xu Wenyan doesn't want to waste it at all.

We got mushrooms and picked so many kiwis. This autumn is really a good season for harvest.

After returning home, Xu Wenyan also killed a hen. The first batch of chicks had already hatched, with a total of twelve chicks. Now both hens were competing to take care of the chicks and were reluctant to lay eggs.

If she doesn't lay eggs, Xu Wenyan will have to be slaughtered.

Anyway, that one hen is enough.

Fresh pheasant is stewed with yam. The yams dug now have been marked in advance. There is not much edible yam in the deep mountains and forests, and the yam whiskers are easy to find.

Everyone in the family recognized them, and there were so many that they could not be eaten in one meal, so Xu Wenyan asked everyone to mark them out. Yams grow fast and will continue to grow vines next year.

The dried pheasant is used to stew mushrooms. The best harvests at home are ginger and garlic, because they have strong smells and they are in the fields, so nothing can harm them.

As the fragrance wafted out, the men working in the yard felt energized and wanted to finish their work quickly and drink a bowl of delicious chicken soup.

"Brother Xu, the parrot hasn't left yet."

Xu Wenyan followed Xiaohu out and saw that the budgie was still on the eaves, looking at them with its head tilted.

Looking at this silly little creature, Xu Wenyan stretched out his hand. The parrot seemed to understand what he meant and stopped on his arm.

"You're quite spiritual. Since we are so destined to be together and you're so beautiful, I'll call you Ruhua."

The colorful parrot shook its head, seemingly dissatisfied with the name.

But it has no choice. Parrots are docile and intelligent birds and can be easily tamed by humans.

It can learn some simple instructions after listening to them several times.

"What is Ruhua eating?" Seeing Ruhua leaning on Xu Wenyan's arm, Wang Cuijuan curiously touched Ruhua's head. Ruhua closed her eyes and enjoyed it.

"She should eat everything, millet, berries and so on." Xu Wenyan put Ruhua on his shoulder. The little girl didn't run around, but just looked at the pheasant stewed with mushrooms in the pot.

Seeing Ruhua staring at the chicken in the pot, Xu Wenyan smiled again: "You are relatives after all, why are you so greedy? Haha."

Parrots can actually eat meat, just less. Their main food is still grains and berries. When they don’t have any, they will also eat young sprouts.

Xu Wenyan tried feeding Ruhua some chicken, and it really ate it.

To celebrate the new member of the family, Xu Wenyan also fed it some red beans. There were three large baskets of red beans at home, and the red bean field on the opposite mountain had been plucked out by Zhou Jianye and his men.

You can see from far away that only that area is yellow, while the rest is green, just like you have alopecia areata.

The meal is served.

The mushrooms are already in my mouth, and the unique aroma of the mushrooms mixed with the chicken bursts in my mouth. The dry-fried mushrooms are crisper, and the mushrooms in the stewed chicken are tougher.

Moreover, the meat of this domestic pheasant is more fragrant and has more meat than that of wild pheasant.

Xu Wenyan, Wang Cuijuan and a few other children peeled the kiwis they had picked and put the pulp into bamboo tubes. Today was a big vitamin supplement, and everyone would have to eat a small one every day.

After enjoying the meal, he tore the remaining mushrooms into strips and put them into an earthen kiln to bake slowly without even sealing the door.

It takes about a quarter of an hour to take out the mushrooms, bake them dry, string them with lemongrass, and hang them in a conspicuous place.

There might be mice stealing some of the food.
