Rebirth in 80, starting with hunting in the Greater Khingan Mountains

Chapter 242: Children's Bird's Nest Soup

Lao Jin also wanted to get some Changbai Mountain specialties for Jianghe and the others.

Jiang He quickly refused and said, "Forget it. It's not easy to carry all this gold back. What specialty is more valuable than this?"

However, Jiang He still brought some.

For example, toad oil, a specialty of Changbai Mountain.

The forest frog is also found in Daxing'anling, and the local toads are much larger than the forest frogs, and the female toads are richer in oil.

However, Daxinganling does not have such a complete industry as Changbai Mountain, and no one is interested in that kind of thing.

This thing is very light after being dried, so it is not difficult to carry it with me. I am going home to give it to the woman at home to nourish her body.

Chunyu also brought a lot. Aunt Xiu was not in good health, and this thing was just the right remedy.

A horse-drawn carriage took them to the county, and then they took a bus to the city.

When they arrived in the city, Jianghe and Chunyu sold the old ginseng.

Why are you in such a hurry to sell?

Because this thing is worthless in Greater Khingan Range and cannot be sold.

Daxinganling doesn't produce ginseng, so naturally, we can't collect this one. I'll just keep it. I don't know how to preserve it. If it rots or gets eaten by insects one day, more than 2,000 yuan will be wasted.

On the return trip, we followed the route arranged by Lao Jin, going directly from Tonghua to Shenyang. There was a train from Shenyang to Jiaqi. Once we arrived in Jiaqi, we had reached the Greater Khingan Range, and the rest of the journey was easy to walk.

Even Shen Wanqing didn't get much sleep along the way.

There is a lot of gold under the berth, who the hell can sleep with it?

When the train arrived at Dahe Town, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they were home.

A few people rode their sidecars back home, threw the gold into the house, and quickly went to sleep.

Shen Wanqing stayed at Jiang He's house and also slept on the kang.

Cheng Feiyu followed Chunyu closely, even carrying gold to her house and sleeping on the same kang with Chunyu.

Seeing that the man was exhausted, Miao Xiaoyu didn't dare to disturb him. She covered him with a blanket, then opened the big canvas bag and took out the clothes. She took advantage of the bright spring sun to wash and dry the clothes.

However, when she took out a few pieces of clothing, she was stunned by the golden color inside. She picked up a piece and it was heavy. She bit it with her teeth and clear teeth marks appeared.

Miao Xiaoyu was not surprised, but frightened, and was almost scared to death.

The man went out for a walk and brought back a bag of gold. What did he do with all this gold? Was he committing murder or robbing a bank?

But Jiang He and his men have guns, so it's not impossible for them to rob a bank.

Miao Xiaoyu sat like this all night without sleeping. When Jiang He woke up, he was shocked to see Miao Xiaoyu staggering and almost fainting.

Miao Xiaoyu burst into tears immediately.

Jiang He quickly hugged her in his arms and comforted her softly. He talked about the origin of the gold, which finally dispelled Miao Xiaoyu's concerns, but then she became nervous again.

What should I do with these gold bars?

Of course... buried in the cellar.

It is definitely not cost-effective to sell gold at this time. This thing is the hard currency that can preserve its value. Whenever you are short of money, you can take out two bars to get through the difficulties.

It is too cold here in Daxinganling, so most families have two cellars, one for vegetables and the other for the ground.

The vegetable cellar is outside. A big pit is dug, wooden frames are added on top, and then covered with thick soil and hay.

This vegetable cellar is very similar to the underground cellars used for wintering in Changbai Mountain.

It's warm in winter and cool in summer. If you put some radishes and cabbages in it, it can last until the New Year. It's the coldest around the New Year, and even the vegetable cellar can't withstand it.

A cellar will be dug in the house to store vegetables. Potatoes, cabbages, etc. can be stored there for the whole winter.

But this is no longer the case in spring and summer. The groundwater will rise, and the cellar will be filled with water if the terrain is a little lower. You don’t need to fetch water for mopping the floor, and you can just lift the cellar lid and use it as a big bucket.

Miao Xiaoyu watched Jiang He bury the gold in the cellar, then she breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep.

Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief and came out of the inner room. Shen Wanqing was still lying on the kang and sleeping soundly.

But she kicked off the quilt, and her long legs wrapped in jeans were sitting on the quilt. Her clothes were also lifted up, revealing her snow-white lower back and slender waist.

Jiang He's memories suddenly jumped to the small village in Changbai Mountain. She and the female educated youth named Jiang Nan had experienced something she had never experienced in her previous life.

Jiang He suddenly became excited and looked into the inner room. He saw his wife sleeping soundly.

Jiang He quietly climbed onto the kang, gently unbuttoned his trousers, and then pulled them down little by little.

Shen Wanqing was sleeping in a daze. She hummed softly, raised her body slightly, and rolled it up to her thighs.

Mimihu Lake, the sneaky feeling, very exciting.

Jiang He was happy, and Shen Wanqing also felt it. She turned over on her own initiative and presented her beautiful little feet to Jiang He.

Just as Jiang He was about to put in more effort, Jiang Hai's howling suddenly came from the front yard.

The two were startled and separated instantly. One jumped to the ground pulling his pants, and the other pulled the quilt to cover himself. Then they looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Jiang He hurried out to take a look at the front yard.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Jiang Hai rolling on the ground after being beaten. My sister-in-law Xiaoqing was jumping up and down, shouting, "Stop hitting him, stop pulling him." When she saw Jiang He coming, she quickly hid behind him.

Jiang He didn't try to pull him away. A child of Jiang Hai's age was at an age that even dogs would dislike him. The hunting dogs in the family would take a detour when they saw him.

If he is not punished for three days, he will tear off the tiles on the roof. This is what we are talking about.

"What's wrong? Why are you hitting so hard?" Jiang He asked with a smile.

Wang Shuzhen said angrily, "This brat, I don't know what he's up to every day. Look, he's ripped open the swallow's nest and cooked a pot of mud soup!"

Jiang Hai cried and said, "I heard that bird's nest soup is very delicious and can also nourish women. I want to give it to you and Xiaoqing!"

Jiang He suddenly understood. No wonder there were seven or eight swallows standing on the clothesline in the yard, chirping and cursing so obscenely.

Wang Shuqin was furious and started beating him with a stick. "I told you to drink mud soup for me, I told you to drink mud soup for me!"

Jiang He turned his head and glanced at Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing blushed and lowered her head slightly. Then she said to Jiang He, "I told Auntie that I asked Jiang Hai to do it. You should hit me instead of him, but Auntie hit him anyway!"

"It's okay, I'll let your sister beat you later!"

"Brother-in-law, I missed you so much during the time you were away from home. But you beat me as soon as you came back!" Xiaoqing said aggrievedly.

Jiang Hai was being beaten while shouting, "It's none of Xiaoqing's business. I was the one who wanted to rob the swallow's nest!"

Then he was beaten even harder.

The beating they received was not unjust at all.

Swallows are the only bird that is not afraid of humans and is friendly to them. They have always been a symbol of good luck.

Some families even open a skylight above the door when the swallows return in spring to allow them to come in and build nests.

You can even climb up the eaves with a ladder and look at the swallow eggs or newly born baby swallows. You can look, but you are not allowed to touch them. It is not the swallow's father or mother who forbids you, but your own parents who forbid you. Otherwise, you will be beaten.

Whether or not there is a swallow's nest at home even became a criterion for Northeastern people to make friends.

There are swallow nests all over the eaves of this family's house. This family must be blessed with good fortune and prosperity.

If there is not even a swallow's nest, then this family is definitely not that good. We may not break off our friendship, but we will definitely not have a close relationship.
