Chapter 70: 36.2

In the evening, the clouds in the sky were orange-red, there were many people in the village, and there were no wild animals, so there was no need to hurry home. Lu Gu and Wei Lanxiang went to the third uncle's house. There were a lot of shrimp in the fish basket, so they sent some over. When they came back, they didn't have an empty hand. they borught half a bag of dates in the third uncle's courtyard.

    Wei Lanxiang asked the two of them to take them up the mountain to eat. If they couldn't finish eating too much, they would wilt, so they might as well dried them in the sun. The dried dates would also help Lu Gu replenished his energy and blood. First, listen to Langzhong’s words, and the dried dates he bought had already been eaten. Fortunately, the Shen family didn’t treat people badly when they ate, and they often ate meat and fish, and Lu Gu had no other problems. He ate and drank well and slept well, so his body was naturally stronger than before.
    Shen Yan came back with a bundle of grass, but Dahui was not tied after he went down the mountain, so he followed her when she went out, and also entered the courtyard gate.
    Seeing that Wei Lanxiang and Lu Gu came back, she said, "Mother, I met Caixia just now, she came down from the mountain and said that their family went to the mountain to pick up chestnuts and hazelnuts, and Caixia alone carried more than half of the basket. "
    After autumn, when the chestnuts and hazelnuts were ripe and fell to the ground, not only people would pick them up, but also the mice and squirrels in the mountains would pick them up for the winter. Several villages near would go up the mountains to pick them up. When there were more people, everyone would pick them up, each family could pick up less, Caixia's family picked up a lot, Shen Yan was naturally surprised to see it.

    Chestnuts and hazelnuts were dried and could be eaten in winter. There were few vegetables in winter, and Shen Xuanqing wouldn’t go into the mountains after the heavy snow. The only meat was bacon and dried meat. The villagers could make more food for winter.
    Wei Lanxiang was plucking onions in the courtyard and was about to make dinner. She said without raising her head when she heard that, "What's so unusual about this? Didn't your second elder brother always pick it up for you in the deep forest? Or do you want to go to pick chestnuts?"
    There were many people in Qianshan, but there were few things. Shen Xuanqing could pick up a lot in the deep mountains. Chestnuts and hazelnuts could be picked up by everyone in the mountains, and they were sold cheaply in the town. Ji Qiuyue would bring them to town when autumn came two years ago. Shen Yan went to pick it up, selling more and selling less would be money, not to mention repaying debts, at least it could maintain the family's livelihood, and it could also be used as winter rations.
    They not only picked up in front of the mountain, but also went to the mountain with Shen Xuanqing, and picked up more in the deep forest, but Shen Yan rarely went there, only once last year, she was only eleven this year, and the small mountain road was too long to walk, When they came back, they had to carry bamboo baskets, so Wei Lanxiang would go with Ji Qiuyue, and Shen Yaoqing, who had to work in the field and couldn't go, would make do at home to cook.

    Going to the mountain to pick up chestnuts was interesting for Shen Yan. It was more fun than driving ducks and hunting chicken grass. After selling it, the money was her own, and the family wouldn’t want it. It didn't matter if it was only five copper coins or ten copper coins. It would crackling when you put it in her own small money bag, which was very nice.
    "Mother, do you want to go?" Shen Yan didn't say that he really wanted to go, but her expression showed everything.

    Wei Lanxiang was peeling the onions, and she looked over when she heard her say that, and said with a smile: "You can talk about it if you want to go, what are you doing with your mother?"

    She thought for a while and said: "But it's really good to pick chestnuts. We will keep some more this year, and we’ll eat it differently during the winter. In the past few years, we’ve steamed it with rice, but this time we’re bored with it, so let’s cook it with chicken, and it’s said to be more delicious, so let’s try it too.”
    She walked towards the kitchen, and said: "Your brother Erqing is resting at home these few days, don't rush away, let's go around the front hill first."

    Shen Yan was happy when she heard it, and said to Lu Gu: "Brother Guzi, do you want to go or not? Let's go together."
    When Lu Gu listened to the two of them talking, he also remembered the chestnuts that Shen Xuanqing picked up for him last time, and there were still some unfinished chestnuts. In the mountains, before he went down the mountain, he wanted to pick some, but these days he was busy with other things and didn't find any time, so he nodded and agreed.
    The three of them were talking in the yard, and Shen Xuanqing came out after lying down in the room for a while, and ate a few dates.
    When Shen Yaoqing and Ji Qiuyue came back, it was already dark, and they were quite capable, watching the sun go to the west, and there were still some fishes left, so they took the cart to the restaurant and told them what fishes they caught today, yes, even if they were dead, they were still fresh, not to mention the half-dead ones in the bucket, which were even fresher, because the fishes were big and fat, as well as crucian carp and river eel, and finally sold them to a restaurant at a cheap price, as long as they were sold, they wouldn’t lose money.

    After they came back, there were only two small river eels left in the cart fish, which were specially reserved. After autumn, these things were stewed and nourishing. , If you wanted to eat it, you had to make up for it now.
    The money for selling the fishes was given to Shen Xuanqing, and the copper coins and the scattered silver added up to two taels of silver. This day they earned two taels, and the hardship of the journey was worth it.
    There were stewed prawns and fried chili meat slices, both of which could be served with wine. Shen Yaoqing brought out the wine, and not only his brothers drank it, but Ji Qiuyue and Wei Lanxiang also tasted a small cup. There was meat and wine, the whole family was chatting and laughing, even if Lu Gu didn't drink, the fried chili would make his cheeks blush and his body warm.
    He listened and watched, even if he didn't speak and just listened to others, he was happy. A kind of hope gradually appeared in his eyes, looking forward to living such a happy and harmonious life forever.
