Chapter twenty-six simple folk customs

"The little girl picking mushrooms, carrying a big bamboo basket on her back. Walking around the forests and hills with her bare feet in the early morning..." The girl's clear singing voice echoed along the mountain paths with cheerful melody, and the little maid sang "Uncle"

The song she just taught her was bouncing all the way, and the small bamboo basket she was carrying behind her was already filled with many mushrooms.

My uncle is going to make another dish that I have never eaten before in the afternoon. The girl's heart is full of small expectations, and even her steps are much lighter.

Li Yi walked a few steps behind the little maid, looking at this beautiful figure that seemed to be full of infinite vitality, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's so good to be young!"

Mushrooms grown in the mountains are natural and pollution-free. They are just picked fresh. Whether it is chicken stewed with mushrooms or making a bowl of delicious mushroom soup, they are the best choice of ingredients.

"Uncle, come and see, this mushroom is so beautiful!" The little maid's startled voice rang in Li Yi's ears again. When he turned around to look, he found that Xiaohuan was happily running under a tree somewhere.

I picked a mushroom with an orange-red surface and white scales on it.

"This mushroom is so beautiful, it must be delicious." The little maid walked up to Li Yi and held the mushroom in her hands as if asking for credit.

Li Yi took a careful look at the mushroom in Xiaohuan's hand, and soon found a similar picture in a fungus atlas in his mind. Then he smiled, shook his head, and said, "This mushroom cannot be eaten.

It will give you a stomachache if you eat it.”

"Why?" The little girl didn't understand why she would have diarrhea after eating such a beautiful mushroom.

"This is a fly-catching fungus, also called a poisonous fly fungus. It is a poisonous mushroom." Li Yi once again acted as an encyclopedia for the little maid, "Eating this kind of mushroom will cause headaches, stomachaches, and pain everywhere...

…You can’t eat this kind of mushroom anyway.”

The little maid's big eyes looked at Li Yi, and little stars began to twinkle again.

I can cook, draw, write poems, sing, and can identify whether mushrooms are poisonous at a glance... My uncle is so amazing!

"In the future, you must remember that the more beautiful the mushrooms are, the more likely they are poisonous mushrooms. Just like women, the more beautiful they are, the more dangerous they are..." Seeing that the mushrooms were almost collected, when I was about to go down the mountain to go home,

Li Yi rarely spoke to the little maid about his philosophy of life.

This little girl's mind is as simple as a blank piece of paper. If she is sold, she may have to count money to others. She must establish correct views on daily life to avoid suffering losses in the future.

"How can such a beautiful mushroom be poisonous..."

The little maid looked at the mushroom in her hand, thought of what Li Yi had just said, and hurriedly threw the mushroom away, and said to herself: "The more beautiful you are, the more dangerous you are... That's not the case, the eldest lady and

The second young lady is so beautiful..."

As she said that, the little maid's pretty face turned red with embarrassment, and she murmured in a low voice: "Actually, Xiao Huan is quite pretty..."

When he looked up, he realized that Li Yi had already walked more than ten steps away. He immediately stopped thinking about these things and hurriedly chased after him, "Uncle, wait for me..."

When he and Xiaohuan returned to the village, many people greeted them and Xiaohuan along the way. Li Yi remembered the faces of these people in his heart. Generally speaking, he was very fond of Xiaohuan.

Those who are enthusiastic are all on the side of Sister Liu Ruyi.

When passing by a certain house, a naughty boy of about seven or eight years old, wearing coarse clothes and covered with patches, was squatting at the door to eat. When he heard someone coming, he looked up and called out timidly.

: "Sister Xiaohuan."

This naughty boy Li Yi looks very unfamiliar. He must have never been to a school. From this, we can guess that he is not from the Liu clan.

Most people in Liuyezhai eat twice a day, and the time is not fixed. When passing by, Li Yi took a look at the naughty child's bowl. He didn't know what it was. He didn't know what it was.

There was an unpleasant smell, and it was hard to imagine that this was food for human consumption.

However, to the naughty child, this seemed to be some kind of delicious food. He slurped it up and ate it deliciously. In the other hand, he also held an object similar to a steamed bun, which was also black. When he took a bite, it made him slurp.

Seeing that the naughty child finally took a bite, the muscles in the corners of Li Yi's mouth felt a little excited, and he felt a faint toothache.

A sturdy figure walked out of the house. When he saw Li Yi and Xiao Huan, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled honestly and said hello to the two.

Li Yi was also stunned. Isn't this big man the one who gave them two pheasants in the morning?

Looking down at the contents of the naughty child's bowl again, Li Yi couldn't believe it. The big man who just gave them meat so early in the morning was actually eating something like this for his own children?

The big man walked out of the house, lightly kicked the naughty child sitting on the ground, and cursed: "You little bastard, what are you still doing in a daze? This is my uncle, call someone quickly!"

"Aunt, uncle, hello..."

After being kicked by his father, the naughty boy put down his bowl and steamed buns and gave a timid cry.

"Woof!"

The yellow native dog ran out of the house. Maybe he felt that the young man in front of him was very strange. He barked at Li Yi twice and suddenly sniffed sharply. When he caught a glimpse of the nest beside him, the dog's eyes suddenly lit up.

He took a bite of the steamed bun and disappeared in front of several people at a surprising speed.

Seeing this scene, the naughty kid was stunned, Xiaohuan was stunned, and Li Yi was stunned.

The big man was also stunned, but the next moment, Li Yi suddenly heard an explosive roar in his ears, and the big man's bear-like body had already chased him out.

"Dahei, if you dare to eat that steamed bun, I will kill you and serve you wine today!"

Seeing that one person and one dog disappeared, Li Yi lowered his head to look at the dark smelly food in the bowl on the ground. He no longer had the intention to wonder why the yellow native dog had such a domineering name as "Dahei"

...The big man gave them two pheasants, but his family ate this kind of food. Li Yi was shocked and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In Liuye Village, the Liu family is like a landlord, owning all the land. Although their lives are not easy, their lives are not too bad.

But more people are similar to the big man just now, almost equivalent to tenants living at the bottom of society. They can just feed the family and prevent them from starving to death. If there is a disaster year with a bad harvest, they may be

Even this minimum requirement cannot be met.

Li Yi learned from Xiaohuan that last year was a disaster year in which the harvest was greatly reduced, so everyone in the village is currently living a very difficult life.

To be fair, if it were Li Yi himself, he would definitely not do the same thing as the big man in such a situation.

Perhaps, this is also the most admirable thing about people in this world.

Li Yi had to admit that he was moved by the honest and honest man in front of him, or the simple folk customs of this world.
