Happy Farmer's Life

The next day at dawn, Du Weiming got up early, baked a few cakes with the few cornmeal at home, ate two, and carried the rest on his body, carrying a small bamboo basket at home, and put a handful With a sickle and a small shovel, Du Weiming set off towards the mountain.

Not long after walking up the mountain road, Du Weiming found a bamboo forest. He was secretly happy that the old masters in the past would come across bamboo when they crossed, and then there would be bamboo shoots to eat.Sure enough, some bamboo shoots were found there, because it is not spring, and there are not too many bamboo shoots. Du Weiming dug about a dozen bamboo shoots with a shovel and put them in the bamboo basket. Latrines, fences, etc. I guess these are not enough, and I plan to come and chop some back home in the next few days.

Continuing to walk up the mountain, Du Weiming found some small yellow-white flowers that had fallen on the side of the road, exuding a faint fragrance. Du Weiming felt that the fragrance was a bit familiar, as if he had smelled it before, and walked along the flowers towards the tree. Du Weiming found Knowing that this is an olive tree, he was overjoyed.The olive tree is a good thing. Now there are some green olives on it in twos and threes. Du Weiming used to like to eat olives, eat them raw, stew soup, make tea, make pickles, olive flowers and pickles can also be made into olive vegetables, then But it is a must for porridge.Du Weiming felt that he had won the lottery. He first picked up the olive flowers on the ground, and knocked down some green olives with a bamboo pole. Now the olives are not fully mature, only some of them are mature. It is estimated that it will take another month. The olives on the side should be ripe, and I feel like drooling when I think about it.

Du Weiming quickly grabbed one of the crushed green olives and put it in his mouth. It tasted slightly bitter, but the more he chewed it, the more flavorful it became. In the end, there was still fragrance and sweetness. Haha, that’s it. Du Weiming used to like to eat green olives, and his sister never understood how someone would like to eat such astringent things.But Du Weiming just haha, now that I see olives, I have snacks for this period of time.Pickle this green olive when you get home, it's a refreshing side dish.After beating the olives for a long time, there were not many olives, only two or three catties. Du Weiming felt that when the olives matured, they must be beaten back.

He continued walking along the mountain road and found some mushrooms. Those bright mushrooms were not touched, so they were probably poisonous. He picked some oyster mushrooms, small mushrooms and a small amount of Hericium erinaceus.Some black fungus was also found, and Du Weiming felt that there are so many treasures on this mountain.After hastily taking out the tortillas and eating them, he continued to climb up and saw some hares and pheasants in the middle. Du Weiming thought that if he could make a few traps, he might be able to catch a few.I planned in my heart, and thought about how to set up a trap when I got home.

The sun was about to set, Du Weiming felt that today's harvest was great, and the small bamboo baskets were almost filled, so let's go home quickly.And go dig some wild vegetables to eat at home.This mountain is still quite high, and it took only half a day to climb it. Du Weiming decided to come back next time when he has time.

Walking home along the mountain road, eating an olive from time to time, I feel so beautiful.When we got back to Shangxia, the sun was about to set, so we hurriedly dug up some wild vegetables, and the small bamboo baskets were already full. Du Weiming was ready to go home and cook dinner.When I walked to the door of the house, I met Aunt Zhang and asked him where he was going today. Du Weiming replied that he was going up the mountain, and the aunt told him to be careful.Du Weiming thought that his aunt's family took good care of him, so he took some olives to give to his aunt.

Aunt Zhang looked at Du Weiming strangely and said, "Er Gouzi, why are you picking this green fruit? It's not tasty, and there are pits in the middle. He won't eat it if you feed it to sheep." Du Weiming was speechless. Super delicious olives, but no one wants to eat them. "Auntie, I was a little thirsty when I went up the mountain today, so I picked some of this fruit to eat. I think it's quite delicious. I want to get some for you to try."

"Some people in this green fruit village used to pick them, but they didn't taste good, so no one eats them now."

After understanding the situation, Du Weiming talked with his aunt for a while and then went home.When I got home, there was still a corn pancake I didn’t eat, so I made a soup with shepherd’s purse and ate it with the pancake.Just wash up and get ready for bed.
