They are already in the winter lunar month , but the mountain is still lush and green. Most of the trees on the mountain are pine trees and some other which she cannot name .
The needles that felt from the pine trees are covered with thick layers of snow.
Jun bizhen walked carefully because snake and snake ants hide in the leaves.
At this time there are few wild vegetables on the mountain, and ferns that can be eaten are hard to fine , and jun bizhen has no time to waste.
After walking walking for a while jun bizhen only fine some few mushrooms that are hidden among dead grasses which she picked.
Looking at the mushroom in her basket she sighed.
This life seems alot harder than she imagine , but she still has hope which make her not to withdrawn due to difficulties.
Even if the days that were coming will be hard and difficult she will not give up on life , her resurrection is a chance that god give her to start her life again.
Plus she has two babies that need to be taken care of.
She bite her lips and started to look around carefully. Many pinecones have fallen on the ground, the pine nut in them can be dried and make into dried fruit which can be store for a long time. Jun bizhen picked them all and put in her basket.
The basket in her hand is borrowed from lin dasheng's house , it is not woven from a bamboo but from a relative tough stalk .
Her surrounding area is so quiet, only the cleaking sound of jun bizhen feet can be heard.
She went to an uphill and her harvest is not bad .
She has found alot of mushrooms which will be enough for them to eat , she also find some wild vegetables which are not delicious but it is rare to find them around this time .
She found a hare that has been frozen on ground which has a wound on his feet which shows that it has escaped from a hunters trap and it freezes on the ground .
Jun bizhen mouth goes up while she count the things that she picked such as pepper, five finger peach and fragrant star anise .
Seeing that the sky has turned dark jun bizhen did not dare to turn around and started going down the mountain. Villagers are usually afraid of the mountain in the night because there are wolves and other wild animals.
When she get home , the house is almost cleaned up ,and she could see lin dasheng repairing the roof of the hut while lin xiuxiu helps on the ground.
When she saw jun bi has returned she warmly greeted her .
How come it took you so much time ? I was afraid that something has happened to you on the mountain. And was about to go and look for big tiger to look for you , lin xiuxiu said and then her eyes lighten up when she saw the hare in her basket.
Their family conditions is not that good and they hardly take meat that's why she is happy when jun bi finds hare.
Thank you for your care, i borrowed this basket from your house. I will cooked the hare as thank you dinner for your help, as i don't have any money. When jun bi said that , cui wei face become red and feel with sorrow.
They don't have anything good to give, and this people has really helped alot .for Jun bizhen this is the first time in her life that she finds her self in this situation.
" Good, but do you need my help ? Lin xiuxiu asked.
No need you have been busy since , go and relax and rest , i will do it, jun bizhen smiled and said.
Lin xiuxiu is really tired she was even sweating in winter.
The hare is not really big ,it is just about 3 to 4 pounds.
Jun bizhen first boiled hot water then put the hare in it , before she carefully and skillfully remove the hair on the hair . Then use a knife to cut the belly open and remove the internal organs.
She then cut the meat into smaller pieces put it in a pot with some amount of water to boil it .
She started to make some preparations, which are the spices that she found in the mountains . which are coriander, , chili, and ginger and mint leave . With onions and garlic which lin dasheng family have .
She washed and cut everything one by one , even the wild mushroom and ferns where washed and cut. Because of limited materials she can only cook some simple dishes which are a tuji sauce meat , mushrooms wild vegetables soup and some wild vegetables cake .
The meat is simmered and then cooked for about half an hour . A burst of scent overflow from the pot which even the neighbours can smell it , is the special aroma of stir - fry onion and garlic . Jun bizhen knows how to cook well , even without out sufficient ingredient.
Lin dasheng's house has only a bucket of rice noodles at home , she took a pound of rice noodles and make a lot of rice vegetables cake . It can be kept for two to three days without spoiling.
After she finished cooking lan dasheng's family come back.
Good smell " lin xiaotian said loudly while staying at the kitchen entrance, who is lin xiuxiu youngest son , the rest of her children also come but also only stayed at the entrance .
Sister what are you eating lin xiotian asked while licking his lips.
"You will know later " jun bi said while smiling at them.
She felt so carefree and happy, this feelings make her feel as if she has returned to her childhood.
It seems that it is a very good start .
