Chapter 229: Sighing at the Sight of Meat
Other people's affairs have nothing to do with them. How they live behind closed doors is their own business. Outsiders can only watch the fun.
Mrs. Du and Yaya are still left at home. The rest of the people carry baskets and tools and go into the mountains in a mighty manner.
When they were on the slope of the west mountain, Bai Yunxi went to see the reservoir and the fermented pine needle fertilizer. She knew that the second son would come to see it every morning when he went into the mountain to chop firewood, and he would sprinkle water on the dung pile to increase the temperature.
Bai Anyan dug a lot of black soil from the mountain and sprinkled it on the terraced fields. He watered it again. It has been watered once, and the color of the soil is changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After the reservoir is full, the overflowing water has been drained along the ditch, and the fields close to the ditch can be irrigated with water.
After some villagers found the convenience of the ditch, they also repaired it on purpose. Although many of them were just cleaning up the snow in front of their own door, she was satisfied as long as no one damaged it.
Walking up the mountain stream, Bai Yunxi took a special look when passing by the cattail nest where she picked up duck eggs last time. Although there were no duck eggs at the original location, there was another nest one step away from it, with ten duck eggs in it.
Bai Yunxi picked up the duck eggs and put them in the basket, and couldn't help laughing, "Ten duck eggs, lunch is ready."
Before they entered the mountain, Du had prepared pancakes and basil sauce for them. Now with duck eggs, the nutrition is definitely enough.
"Mother, you are so lucky. You can pick up a few duck eggs every time." Li rolled the cattail into a circle to avoid breaking them.
"This cattail field is close to the water source and is suitable for ducks to sit in the nest."
Bai Yuxi looked at the surrounding mountain streams. There were many wild game such as wild ducks and pheasants in the mountains and forests, and they could be seen everywhere, but these things were too flexible and could not be caught no matter how hard they tried.
The pheasants and ducks in the forest are different from the chickens and ducks raised at home. They fly high and fast. Sometimes you can only watch them fly away from your feet, but you are powerless.
She used to travel all over the country and saw a lot of them, but she was really not good at hunting, so she could only sigh at the meat.
Several people walked up the mountain stream, paying attention to the vegetation under their feet as they walked. Whether it was Chinese herbal medicine or edible mountain products, as long as they were valuable, they would take them home.
After crossing a hillside, they arrived at the border of the deep mountains. Looking at the bushes that were obviously more lush and messy than outside, Bai Yunxi waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down and rest, drink some water, and look around to see if there were any good things.
Bai Yunxi stood on the hillside and looked at the dense forest. Although it was early winter, the deep forest was still lush with branches and leaves. Looking around, you can still see some red and yellow leaves mixed in the jungle, just like a splashing ink painting, revealing a different kind of beauty.
The original owner had no memory of what was happening in the deep forest. There were only some rumors in the village that there were large wild animals in the deep forest, so villagers were told not to go into the mountains and take risks.
Bai Yunxi sighed. She had often followed the team to explore the mountains and forests, but she was not confident enough to do it alone.
Some of them only had theoretical knowledge, which was enough to talk about it on paper. They had no experience to fight against the unknown dangers in the deep mountains.
No one cared about the deep forests, so there must be good things. It would be useless if you had the life to take them but not the life to enjoy them.
"Mom, what are you looking at?" Xiaowu came over and asked curiously when he saw his mother staring at the deep forests.
