Chapter 16: Living off the Mountain
At this time, Xie noticed that everyone seemed to have seen the food that Su Chi had just brought into the main hall. She opened her mouth slightly and asked Su He in a low voice:
"Aho, um...did you boil the eggs?"
Hearing Xie's slightly cautious voice, Su He finally came to his senses. He looked at the faces of the people in the yard and thought that everyone must have misunderstood. He smiled and said:
"These are pheasant eggs. I picked them up with Ah Chi in the mountains today."
Then he pointed to the hare and mushrooms on the stone slab not far away and continued, "We also picked up a lot of mushrooms, enough for our family to eat for two days."
Everyone looked in the direction Su He pointed and saw the mushrooms she mentioned and the hare next to the mushrooms.
Everyone opened their mouths in surprise, unable to speak for a moment.
Su He thought about Su Chi's reaction in the mountains today, which was similar to everyone's reaction now, and thought it was a problem with the mushrooms.
He waved his hands at the crowd and quickly explained, "I recognize all these mushrooms. They are edible. I didn't pick up the ones I didn't recognize. Don't worry."
The first one to react was Old Man Su: "Did you go into the mountains today?"
Forehead!
Why is this different from what I imagined? Shouldn't I ask about the mushrooms?
I remembered what Su Chi said today. Grandpa said there were monsters in the mountains and told him not to go into the mountains.
Su He thought about it secretly, raised his head and looked at Old Man Su, and said directly: "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I just want to find some food for my family and improve our lives."
After hearing Su He's words, the Su family's originally worried expressions suddenly became a little uncomfortable.
Ugh!
This cannot be blamed on the child, because the Su family is poor. Thinking about how it felt to have a full stomach last night, it is really too sad to be hungry.
Looking at the wild rabbit on the ground again, Su He just wanted everyone to have something delicious to eat.
"well........"
Old Man Su always loved Su He. When he heard Su He admit her mistake so quickly, he could not say any more words of blame. However, in the mountains...
"Grandpa, Ah Chi and I are just outside the city. We haven't gone deep into the mountains. Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"Besides, Grandpa, we live by the mountains and by the water. If we don't make any changes, how can our family change the current situation?"
Su He said it vaguely, but it was true. The Su family was almost out of food. If they still relied solely on the small piece of land at home, they might not even be able to get enough food.
Hearing Su He's words, Su Zhiyan, who was standing behind Old Man Su, was slightly stunned, and silently repeated Su He's words in his heart: Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water!
Su He in front of him, the little niece who had always been sickly in his heart, seemed different today.
Old Man Su looked at Su He, then at the hare on the ground, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
He knew this, but...
"Grandpa, I'm already well again. Let's work together as a family. I believe our lives will get better!"
Su He spoke again in a resounding voice, his face full of determination.
Old Man Su was also shocked by Su He. He thought for a while, then looked back at the Su family and saw that everyone had an expression of approval on their faces.
Turning around, he said to Su He, "Okay, but next time you go out, you have to bring your eldest brother or second brother with you."
When Su He heard what Old Man Su said, the corners of his mouth slowly curved, which meant he agreed. He then nodded to Su Mu and Su Bai who were standing at the back.
That's no problem. When the rainy season comes, we will go pick mushrooms. The more people there are, the better. However, she didn't say this now. She will talk about it later.
It is more important to solve the current problem first.
Old Mrs. Su looked at the mushrooms on the ground. Today, the Su family wanted to finish the work in the fields as soon as possible, so after she delivered lunch, she joined in the work and came back late.
Seeing the mushrooms on the ground, he said with some concern: "Ahe, these wild vegetables are okay, but are these mushrooms really edible? Some people in the village have eaten them before, but they were..."
The Su family also knew what Old Lady Su didn't say. Since Su Chi was young, they could only tell him not to touch this thing. Unexpectedly, Su He actually picked a lot of it when he went into the mountains today.
There was a famine a few years ago, and people scrambled for anything edible except these mushrooms, because some people in the village had eaten them before and the mildest consequences were stomach upset for a few days, while the most serious ones even resulted in deaths.
Therefore, pleasing-looking mushrooms are often found growing in the fields, but no one dares to pick them, and they are also called "troublesome mushrooms" by the villagers.
Everyone's face changes color when they talk about this, let alone picking it and eating it.
Su He also guessed that the Su family would have this concern, and explained it again according to what he said to Su Chi today: "Grandpa, grandma, the mushrooms I picked today are all recognized by me, and they are edible. Don't worry, I will definitely not pick those I don't recognize."
Su Chi, who was standing aside, listened to Su He's words and nodded continuously. He had just eaten and was fine. The food tasted delicious.
He is now a loyal follower of Su He. He believes that everything Sister says is right and that there is meat to eat if he follows Sister.
"Yes, we just ate it, it was delicious."
what?
As soon as I heard that the two children had cooked the mushrooms they picked and ate them!
All the Su family members in the yard were a little anxious. Although Su He had just said that it was edible, there was still a difference between saying it was edible and actually eating it.
"We have been eating for quite a while. Look, we are fine. There is really no poison and it tastes good."
If there really was a problem, how could they still stand here and talk properly?
Everyone in the Su family looked the two of them up and down, and indeed their faces did not look like there was anything wrong.
“Is this really edible?”
Old Mrs. Su asked again worriedly.
Su He smiled softly and assured him again and again with a very good temper: "Really, you can all try it later."
Thinking about the bowl of delicious fish soup just now, Su He's eyes were full of smiles. After they have eaten it, they will believe it.
"Dinner is ready. Go wash your hands and we can eat."
Su He looked at the hare on the ground. It was too late today, so he decided to save the hare for tomorrow.
After thinking about it, he said to Old Man Su: "Grandpa, this is the wild rabbit we caught today. I don't know how to deal with it. Let my father take care of it later."
After the wild rabbit is cleaned up, it will fall into the well and be eaten tomorrow. The temperature in the well is low, so it will not go bad if left in this weather.
"Okay, your dad can handle this."
Old Man Su nodded, turned around and said to Su Danian: "Keep the fur. The rabbit has no wounds at all. The fur can be sold for a good price."
