Chapter 313 Wild Mushroom Fish Hot Pot
Not to mention wild mushrooms, even the beautiful wild flowers were pinched.
She followed a few people, wandering around in the woods. She had to walk a long way before she could see a pine mushroom or a few shiitake mushrooms, but there was really no pine mushroom left. After walking for more than an hour, there was still not a single one.
I also picked up more than a dozen wild chestnuts, which were quite big.
During the time she was running outside, she ate a lot of chestnuts. Her black and bold face had a sharp nose, so she would dig around on the ground a few times and would occasionally dig out a chestnut.
Zhou Mai and the others were all dumbfounded. "Guoguo, did you really just pick up Black Bold? How can it be so obedient? It will do whatever you tell it to do. With it, what can we do? There is nothing in the forest that can escape its nose."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "It's not that I picked it up. It chose me and came back with me. Its right front leg was injured before, so it limped when it walked. I heard that it was bullied a lot because of this."
Zhou Mi said: "Luckily it came back with you, otherwise when it grows up, it will probably become meat on someone else's table just like its mother."
Zhou Mai smiled and said, "It's said that dogs bring wealth, which means our family is going to get better and we're going to be rich soon. It's good that Hei Dadan is here, it's great!"
Dogs come to riches?
Zhou Guo had never heard such words before.
Because of Hei Dadan, when a group of people came out, while others had only a few scattered mushrooms in their baskets, she had half a basket full of pine mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and a lot of shiny chestnuts. Although the harvest was not much, it depends on who you compare with.
When it was time to go back in the evening, the baskets were already full. Zhou Mai and the others also got a lot of flowers in their baskets. Compared with the few flowers that others had, there was a world of difference.
Those who are envied by everyone come here to learn from him.
"Zhou Guo, which mountain did you go to pick it up today?"
Everyone was looking at them, trying hard to recall which places they had not visited in the past half month. How could they have missed any?
Zhou Guo pointed in the direction they were coming back from. "It's in those hills. They were all searched by the aunties. They searched really carefully. We searched around for a while and only found this much. It's not even enough for one meal."
This is really hateful!
A woman said, "You think this is not enough? Look at what's in our baskets. It's not as much as yours. You are such a careless kid. You don't even know how much is enough."
Zhou Guo said: "We just picked up what you left behind. You took all the good ones, and we picked up the ones you didn't want."
The women laughed. "Nonsense, the leftovers are not like this. The ones in our baskets are the leftovers."
The group walked towards the cave, chatting and laughing.
At this time, it was already late autumn. The deciduous trees in the forest had turned yellow and withered. When a gust of wind blew, the leaves fluttered down from the treetops.
Stepping on the leaves makes a rustling sound.
Zhou Guo quite likes this sound.
……
The old man was not used to living with so many people. He often went out after breakfast in the morning and came back in the evening when the sun went down.
Sometimes he would come back with a pheasant, a rabbit, or something else.
It's not eye-catching. Sometimes when the villagers are craving for meat, they will exchange things at home for it, such as grains, various beans, pickled vegetables and eggs. They will exchange whatever they have.
When Zhou Guo went back, he happened to meet the old man coming back leisurely from the other side, holding a bunch of things in his hand.
She hurried over and smiled from afar, "Master, you're back. What are you carrying?"
When the old man heard the voice, his ears twitched, his brows jumped, and he looked up at his little disciple. Seeing her running towards him happily, like a young swallow flying into the forest, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and his mood improved a lot.
Zhou Guo approached and saw that he was holding a string of big fish in his hand. He immediately said happily, "Hey, Master, how did you know that I was craving for fish? I'm telling you, I've been out for more than a month and I've eaten everything except fish. How about using two of these fish to make soup and the other two to roast? Can you roast them yourself?"
The old man smiled and nodded, "Yes."
Li brought Zhou Su, the little tail, back with a bundle of firewood behind a group of people. Seeing Zhou Guo chattering around the old man, she said, "Guo Guo, stop messing with your master. Let him rest for a while."
The old man waved his hand, "It's okay."
Some people laughed, "Mother Guoguo, I saw that when your Guoguo came back, the old man's expression became more relaxed, and he even specially caught a few fish. It was obvious that they were prepared for Guoguo."
"Yes, he has been in the mountains for so long, and I have never seen him smile. The relationship between the master and the disciple is really good. Just don't worry about it. Maybe the old man likes him very much, right, Guoguo's master?"
The old man didn't say anything, which was why he didn't like being here.
Zhou Su walked over to Li and handed the basket in his hand to Zhou Guo, "Sister, look."
"Huh?" Zhou Guo didn't look at the basket, but looked at Zhou Su in surprise. During the days since the little guy was found, they were the ones who talked to him every time, and the number of times he took the initiative to speak could be counted on one hand.
Is it because after seeing his mother, his soul is comforted and healed?
Seeing that she wasn't looking, Zhou Su said, "Look, sister, I picked up a lot of mushrooms and walnuts."
Zhou Guo looked down and saw half a basket of things. He was surprised. "Where did you pick up the walnuts? Can you still eat them at this time? Aren't they rotten?"
Zhou Su lowered his head and rummaged through the things in the basket. He picked out a clean and good-looking one and said, "Some of them are rotten. I picked these out. I removed the wrinkled and blackened shells. Try one and see."
Zhou Guo followed instructions and pinched the shell with a few fingers, and when she opened it she found that the flesh inside was still intact. She raised her brows and immediately remembered the two walnut trees she had seen, and came up with an idea.
He picked out the walnut meat inside, stuffed half into Zhou Su's mouth, and ate the other half himself. It was quite delicious.
Zhou Su's eyes were shining as he ate. Zhou Guo couldn't help but smile knowingly and touched his head. Although the little guy was still not as lively as before, his reaction when eating delicious food was still similar, a bit like before.
Zhou Mai and the others also came over and said with a smile, "Why are you only giving it to the elder sister and not the brothers?"
Zhou Su pursed his lips and picked one for each of his brothers.
Zhou Mai and the others thanked him with a laugh, which made Zhou Su's tightly pursed lips slightly smile, and everyone touched his head.
Zhou Guo sliced the fish meat into thin slices, chopped the fish bones into pieces, and marinated them with salt.
Use dried pine mushrooms as the base for the soup. When the soup boils, add the marinated fish fillets and bones into the pot and boil them a few times before eating.
The rich fragrance wafted around the entrance of the cave and drifted into the cave.
People in other houses around who were cooking kept looking over here.
Those who didn't cook couldn't help but crowd towards Zhou Guo's straw shed.
