After resting for a while, Su Mo stopped cooking and filled her stomach with two steamed buns stuffed with cabbage and pork. Then he went to the well and cleaned most of the hazel mushrooms in the basket. As for the empty mushrooms, just leave them in the empty space. The fresh ones are more delicious than the dried ones.
After cleaning, I took two bamboo sieves, spread the hazel mushrooms on them, and placed them under the eaves where they could get the sun to dry.
Bamboo sieves, the ones without holes at the bottom are called bamboo sieves, they are used for drying things.
Su Mo was quite grateful to Li Yue'e for basically preparing everything she could use daily. Lu Changzheng said that there were not many things in the house before, and his mother only bought them when they decided to get married.
After finishing it, Su Mo was going to sit down on the wooden bench in the living room for a while. Not long after she lay down, Lu Fengqin's voice came from outside the door.
Su Mo got up and went out to take a look. Lu Fengqin came over with a basket on her back, followed by her sister Lu Aiqin and the eldest son Lu Guodong from the second bedroom.
Seeing her come out, the three children looked at her with bright eyes.
Lu Fengqin said: "Third aunt, second sister and eldest brother are also going to harvest autumn with us."
Su Mo:......
It seems that no matter in any era, candy has a huge appeal to children, not even pigweed.
"Okay, you guys wait a minute and I'll get the backpack."
Su Mo took the backpack, locked the door, and set off with the three children. Su Mo knew that they were here for candy, so before going out, one of them gave them a piece of maltose.
When the three of them got the candy, their eyes brightened even more. Lu Guodong even asked: "Third Aunt, what kind of candy is this?"
"Maltose." Su Mo said with a smile.
"This is maltose!" The three children shouted in unison, then quickly tore off the packaging and stuffed the candy into their mouths.
When Su Mo went to the Lu family for the first time, she gave maltose to Lu Guoliang and Lu Guoqiang. As a result, the two fools ate all the candy themselves. In turn, they showed off to their brothers and sisters how delicious the maltose was, making them greedy.
Now that they finally had the maltose they had longed for, the three children all closed their eyes happily.
This taste is so delicious, just as delicious as the White Rabbit toffee that Third Aunt gave me last time.
Because they had eaten the candy, the three children were very excited along the way. They kept chattering and told Su Mo a lot of gossip about various families in the brigade. Su Mo couldn't stop laughing.
It was also from the words of the three children that Su Mo gained a deeper understanding of the Lujiacun production brigade.
Knowing that the brigade's pig farm raised 40 pigs this year, Lu Qing'an had to visit them at least three times a day, and he was more precious than his eldest grandson.
I also know that the brigade also has a chicken farm. Previously, a lazy man in the brigade went to steal eggs and was caught and imprisoned for several days. He was criticized and educated in front of the entire brigade.
There was also an old man in charge of the sheep pen in the brigade who loved to drink. Once he got drunk and went to sleep with the sheep in the sheep pen. The man in charge of the sheep herding the next day was scared to death, thinking that the old man had died in the sheep pen.
It seems that Geng Changqing, a cheap uncle, is quite good as the commune secretary.
In this special period, if the leaders at the top do not say anything, the production brigade below will not dare to engage in these side businesses.
After all, many places still apply the chairman's policy of "taking grain as the keystone and developing in an all-round way" across the board, focusing only on grain and omitting "comprehensive development". They are afraid that those who engage in side jobs will become rich and those who grow grain will be poor, causing polarization.
"Does our team have a bullpen?" Su Mo asked casually.
"Yes, our brigade not only has a cow shed, but also a donkey shed. Our brigade has five cows and ten donkeys, which is more than other brigade." Lu Guodong said proudly.
"Why do you know so well?" Su Mo asked with a smile.
"My classmate said it," Lu Guodong said.
The primary school in Lujiacun Brigade has students not only from this brigade, but also from the surrounding production teams who do not have primary schools. This is what kids compete with these days, so Lu Guodong knows it very well.
"Then will you go to the cowshed and donkey shed to play?" Su Mo asked again.
"You can't go there. There are bad people living there. Third Aunt, you don't want to go there either. It's dirty and messy there." Lu Guodong said.
"How do you know they're bad people?"
"Everyone said so, saying that they were punished to live in the bullpen because they did bad things." Lu Guodong said.
Su Mo's eyes flashed and she did not continue the topic, but asked: "Guodong, which production teams do your classmates belong to?"
"There are many, Longjiacun, Beiling, Lijia'ao, Qingshui..." Lu Guodong tried to remember.
"There are so many, have you been to Lijia'ao?" The book said that the parents of the original owner were sent to Lijia'ao.
"I've been there before. My grandma and I go there every year to visit the grave." Lijia'ao is Li Yuee's hometown.
Su Mo didn't expect such a coincidence, so she asked, "Is it that far?"
"It's not far. Just walk along Bukai Mountain and you'll be there soon." Lu Guodong was young and didn't have much sense of time.
"Nai said we'll be there in half an hour." Lu Fengqin added.
The children first took Su Mo to look for chestnuts, but it was obvious that chestnuts were extremely popular. They were picked up in several places. Only at the last place, some were still hanging on a very old tree.
The three children looked up at the chestnuts with green shells on them, feeling a little pity.
"The shell is still so green and doesn't ripen that quickly. We have to come back later, and we don't know if it will still be there by then."
Chestnuts are so delicious and they like them very much. But their family doesn't pick up much every year, and they are all picked up early by others.
