PFC Chapter 129: Rosehip Fruit
Chapter 129: Rosehip Fruit
After Lin Anna calmed down temporarily, Chen Jinghan in the backyard also breathed a sigh of relief.
Time flies and it is August. The green rice fields are swaying in the wind and the corn is starting to grow fat.
The cicadas' chirping became the noise that accompanied everyone to sleep.
The wild fruits in the mountains are gradually ripening.
Xue Li loves eating rose hips very much, but the several places where rose hips grow on Yaoer Mountain have been marked by the children in the village, so she can only go into the mountains to pick them.
Although Chen Jinghan had no interest in these things, she was extremely happy to be able to spend time alone with Xue Li.
Although Jiang Yu also loves to eat, she doesn't want to be a light bulb, so every time she goes up the mountain, she acts as if someone is chasing her, and she disappears into the mountain in a few seconds.
There were many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains at that time. You had to tie up your trouser legs when entering the mountains, for fear that insects would come in and bite you.
Jiang Yu, who had cut his hair short after finally growing it long, looked like a wild boy who had grown up in the mountains. He tied his trouser legs and sleeves tightly, and ran around behind Tuanzi with a backpack on his back.
When Yi Chi came down from the base, he saw Jiang Yu concentrating on picking rose hips on the outer hill and couldn't help but stop.
Jiang Yu had heard his movements a long time ago, but just now she saw a big fruit growing inside, and she had to use a branch to hook out the mace-like branch a little before she could successfully pick it.
Yi Chi looked at her for a while before slowly approaching, "Do you like this?"
Wild fruits are the most beautiful childhood memories of rural children, and the rose hips that mature in August are even sweeter, attracting countless people to pick them.
"I like all delicious food." Jiang Yu answered him.
After all, they have survived in the apocalypse for more than ten years, so they cherish food very much.
In the early stages of natural disasters, there were earthquakes and tsunamis. After surviving the initial stage, people could still find a little food in the ruins to fill their stomachs, but extreme weather soon hit, and the high temperature caused all the remaining food to rot and spoil. There was little edible food left, and in extremely cold weather, even eating fish became extremely difficult.
Later, a nearby base developed insect cakes that could quickly replenish the basic nutrients needed by the human body. That became the only food that Jiang Yu could obtain, and he ate it for nearly ten years.
She has really experienced hardship, so she cherishes food very much and subconsciously always wants to stockpile some.
She had accumulated a lot of rose hips, raspberries, wild strawberries, she stockpiled them all.
Yi Chi helped pick the fruits and talked to Jiang Yu from time to time. The two of them worked together very well.
"Has Liang Shugen been keeping an eye on you recently?" Jiang Yu went around to the other side to pick fruit.
Yi Chi moved to a position where he could see her closer, "No, he is the only strong laborer in his family, and the whole family is waiting for him to go to work and earn more work points."
"It seems that being busy is a good thing," said Jiang Yu.
Yi Chi nodded, "How about you, are you tired?"
"Me? I'm strong and work fast, so it's easy for me." Jiang Yu really felt that this little farm work was nothing. If the construction team had not had a precedent of calculating work points based on quantity, if she worked hard, her work points could at least double.
"I'm going to the farm in a while." Yi Chi said that he would go there every summer. This was an appointment with the delivery driver arranged by his grandmother's family. Since there were a lot of things to deliver, it would not be a bit strange to add another person to unload the goods.
Jiang Yu stopped what he was doing and looked at him, "How is your grandpa?"
They had never talked about this before. Jiang Yu was not one who liked to pry into other people's privacy, but since Yi Chi brought it up, he might as well ask, since they were so familiar with each other.
If necessary, she can help a little. It’s hard to say how much, but she can still get some meat to nourish the body.
Yi Chi looked relaxed, "He is from Country E. I don't know if you've heard of him, but the people there are as strong as bears, and so is my grandfather. Although the conditions on the farm are poor, he has good stamina and the work isn't strenuous, so he can hold on." And when he grew up, he would bring food and common medicines to his grandfather every year. In fact, the old man was very strong.
"How old is he?" Jiang Yu was curious.
"62." Yi Chi sighed. If his grandfather hadn't come to find him and investigate the cause of his mother's death, he wouldn't have been arrested and demoted, and labeled with a false label. It was really an unprovoked disaster.
Time flies and 13 years have passed.
My grandfather was originally a wealthy businessman, and he lived a comfortable life. However, he was labeled as a suspected JD and was imprisoned on a farm, where he had no help from anyone for more than ten years. If it weren't for the old man's good attitude, anyone else would have committed suicide.
However, the relationship between the two sides was tense at the time, and he didn't know whether his grandfather's family had used other means to find him. But Yi Chi felt that even if they did, it would be very difficult. After all, they were just ordinary businessmen and probably didn't have any connections.
Jiang Yu blinked. 62, that age is really not young, but when the situation gets better, the old man can still come out and enjoy life.
After picking two baskets of rose hips, Ginger Fish was satisfied and prepared to go to the rabbit nest to randomly pick a little cutie as a snack.
Tuanzi followed Jiangyu, squeezing and rubbing against her, "Aoao~" her loud voice became thin, and the sound of the clamp was even increased. The big cat was also trying hard to get some food.
Jiang Yu threw a rose hip to it, then put one in his own pocket and handed the basket to Yi Chi.
Yi Chi didn't hesitate to take two to taste.
By the big river in the mountains, Jiang Yu rolled up his trouser legs to turn over the wood.
Yi Chi took out a dagger and started to deal with the rabbit.
Tuanzi lay on the shore, his nose pressed against the basket. It smelled so good, but he didn't dare to eat it secretly, for fear of being hit on the head by the ginger fish.
The fire started, and Yi Chi took out the small oil paper bag he carried with him, which contained the mixed seasoning powder. After the rabbit was roasted, he would sprinkle the powder on it and start eating.
Ginger Fish looked at Tuanzi drooling, and went to the pool of water in front, ready to catch two fish.
Seeing this, Yi Chi became a little nervous and quickly told her to be careful.
The depth of Jishuitan is unknown. The water is clear and you can see the bottom next to it, but the color becomes darker as you go deeper, with a perfect transition from light to dark green.
Jiang Yu replied, "I understand," then stood on the periphery with a sharpened branch, staring at the fish swimming leisurely inside.
The birds in the forest were singing crisply. Yi Chi didn't care about the rabbit in his hand and stared at Jiang Yu intently.
But who is Jiang Yu? She is a new human being modified by genetic drugs, and inserting two fish is like a piece of cake for her.
After a while, she came back treading water.
The fish, which was as long as a forearm, was pierced through the body by a branch. It bounced twice in despair, and the branches hit each other with a dull sound.
Yi Chi let out a breath, then took over the two fish and processed them by the river.
About half an hour later, the two people and the lynx began to eat.
Yi Chi's cooking skills have never been doubted. The roasted rabbit has crispy skin and chewy meat, the roasted fish is fresh and fragrant, and he eats the ginger fish without even raising his head.
Tuanzi next to her was biting a rabbit head, making a crunching sound, and Mei's eyes narrowed.
