The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms
Chapter 170: Picking Wild Strawberries in the Mountains
"Mushrooms. We have dried ones at home. Soak some if you want to eat them."
Old Mrs. Zhou didn't mention going into the mountains, mainly because her family has been too busy recently, and when she has some free time, she doesn't have the energy to go up the mountain, so she just wants to rest.
Unlike them, a bunch of naughty monkeys with endless energy.
"The dry ones are dry, the wet ones are wet, and I want to eat freshly picked ones."
"It's been so hot lately, there are no mushrooms in the mountains. Let's wait until it rains before we go pick them. I think it's going to rain in the next few days."
No, the time for sowing seeds is coming soon.
Without rain, they couldn't plant.
The ground was so dry that the seeds were unwilling to sprout.
"Ah? Well, then we'll go after it rains."
"Yeah, okay. Let your mom and dad take you there when the time comes. My old bones are not willing to climb such a high mountain."
Zhou Mingshu tied up the donkey, conjured up two apples and watched it eat them, then he cleaned the sink and added clean water.
Brother Dashan took it to eat grass, but he might not necessarily take it to drink water.
In summer, livestock cannot be deprived of water.
They are not humans. Humans will drink when they are thirsty, eat when they are hungry, and cry out when they are sick. But if something happens to them, even gods may not be able to save them.
After finishing all these for the little donkey, she also poured some water into the chicken coop next to it.
Chicken feathers are very heat-insulating. In such a high temperature, some chickens' feathers are wet, probably because of the heat.
After doing all this, she left.
After washing my hands, I came over to continue eating.
"Shall we go pick some wild strawberries tomorrow? The small ones we saved before should have grown up. We have an oven now, so we can bake the ones we can't finish and store them as preserves."
"Okay, let's go pick some more garlic. This time we can save some leaves to eat."
"All right."
"Then you should go earlier. It's so hot at noon. It would be cooler if you go after breakfast." Old Mrs. Zhou suggested.
"Okay, then go after breakfast."
After agreeing on the details, Zhou Mingshu stopped talking because everyone else had finished eating and she was the only one left.
Everyone left the table. Liu called Zhou Mingqi to let her look at the mung bean powder and ask if she wanted to make some more before going to bed.
Zhou Mingqi took a look and quickly said no, they would pour out the water tomorrow, and the white powder at the bottom of the bucket was what they were going to keep.
Liu wrote down these key points one by one. Her daughter would have to go up the mountain early tomorrow morning, and the rest of the work would depend on the adults like them.
Zhou Mingshu ate all the leftovers on the table, then helped A Niang take the dishes back to the kitchen.
"Mother, take a rest. I'll wash it."
"You don't have to wash it, I can do it. I have nothing to do anyway. You just ate, sit down and rest for a while."
Zhu didn't let her daughter get involved. Although washing dishes and pots was not a heavy job, she still didn't want her daughter to get involved when she was around.
"I saw you busy in your room all day today. Are you tired?"
Zhu asked kindly.
"It's not that tiring. These jobs are relatively easy. I still feel that you are more tired. Loading wheat and grinding mung bean milk are all strenuous jobs."
Zhou Mingshu said this sincerely, and this was exactly what she was thinking in her heart.
Zhu smiled, and really felt that her daughter had grown up, cared about her parents, and had the courage to express herself.
"These jobs are nothing. Even if they are a little tiring, they are only temporary. There are only two harvests a year. Usually, we just weed and weed. It's just that the sun is a little bit hot. Being a farmer is just like this..."
What Zhu said was a truth that everyone understood, but in Zhou Mingshu's heart, he still felt that everyone was working too hard.
She wants to earn more money so that they can live a better life.
While Zhu was washing the dishes, she was not idle either, tidying up things in the kitchen.
Ever since we started using lard to cook at home and haven’t cleaned up for a while, there are oil stains in many places in the house.
Give it a good scrub with soapy water another day.
After the mother and daughter cleaned up the kitchen, they drew some water and went to take a bath.
Boss Zhou bolted the door shut, then took out all the fire sticks from the newly built stove and threw them aside.
He was afraid that sparks would fall out after he fell asleep at night, which might cause a fire.
Zhou Mingshu took the bath water and washed his feet. A busy day was finally over.
She lay on the bed in a spread-eagle position, staring at the ceiling in a trance.
She didn't think about anything, and didn't even light the oil lamp. She just watched the sky gradually darken until it became pitch black.
The next day after breakfast, they went up the mountain.
Head straight to the wild strawberry base.
It was still the same place, but the goats were gone.
Zhou Mingzhi and Zhou Mingjie were obviously disappointed, as they were expecting to catch several hundred kilograms of mutton.
After picking two baskets of strawberries, they followed the same route to pick garlic.
"I remember there was a small piece of meat in the well, right?"
"Yeah, yes, grandma said we must finish it today and can't leave any more."
"That's great. I'll go back and make barbecue for you today. I'll wrap it with garlic leaves and stuff it into your mouth. It'll be delicious just like that~"
"Okay, stop talking for now. Just cook it for us when you get back. You're talking about how delicious it is now, but we can only listen. We're so greedy."
Zhou Mingqi turned her face away, not wanting to pay attention to Zhou Mingshu, who kept talking about delicious food. Her mouth was watering. Every time she opened her eyes and closed them, she could think of the braised pork she had eaten yesterday. The sweet taste was so delicious.
Zhou Mingshu held her waist and laughed. Before she said anything, her second sister couldn't stand it anymore.
"Okay, we're right in front of us. Let's pick some and go down the mountain. It's so hot here."
Zhou Mingqin exhaled twice and sweat poured down.
Although they arrived early, the sun was already high in the sky by this time.
A few people arrived at the place and started picking without saying a word.
Apart from the dense garlic on the ground, there are almost no other plants in this forest.
They grow wherever the sun shines, and it is impossible to pick them all.
Logically speaking, a large handful picked by each of the five of them would be enough to eat, but picking wild vegetables is just like picking mushrooms, it's easy to get addicted!
They didn't stop until the baskets were full and then they went back.
Zhou Mingshu followed at the back, taking one step deep and one step shallow forward.
I took the same route I took home last time.
Although the system has been giving reminders, Zhou Mingshu didn't plan to take any uncommon items.
But today, the system actually prompted that there were porcini mushrooms.
How could she miss out on eating mushrooms?
The grass on both sides was too dense, so she had to poke it with a stick before she could find it.
"He's hiding really well."
It was actually growing among the grass roots, and she had to work very hard to pull it out.
There are four babies in a nest. They look silly and cute.
When Zhou Mingqi heard the noise and looked back, he saw San Ya standing there holding some mushrooms and grinning foolishly.
"What kind of mushrooms did you pick?"
