The green hills pick firewood, the countryside smokes, the kitchen makes a fire, and the big pot of rice smells good. Mother cooked it skillfully and her son stabbed it red. A table full of farm dishes, pastoral fragrance.

1. The stove burns firewood and the chimney smokes.

In the countryside, smoke is curling up. Farmhouse, delicious food. For a long time, people in rural areas have been burning firewood and cooking. Rice, steamed, vegetables and fresh meat, stir-fried and fragrant. This cooking method, in my hometown of Yuxi, probably followed for hundreds of years, thousands of years.

Rural people, every household has a stove-a big stove specially made by craftsmen with brick soil. Stove, wooden steamer, large porcelain water tank, wooden cabinet, square table and stool, these things are the furnishings in the farmhouse kitchen. Simple, simple.

In rural families, cooking and cooking are all done on the stove. Pig farmers must cook pig food in a large iron pot.

Ordinary people cook two meals a day: breakfast and dinner. Some people boil hot water at night to wash their faces and soak their feet, and at the same time cook a simple dinner, also on the big stove. Of course, we country people don't eat breakfast. Either busy or not rich enough.

When cooking, you should light the firewood in the stove hole every time to make it flourish, then steam rice, stir-fry and boil water.

It is not easy to make a fire in a pot hole. First light it with pine wool or thatch, and then add firewood. Good firewood can make the flame burn violently, and the fire will flourish and flourish. On the other hand, the firewood is not good, the firepower is not enough, or the fire will burn for a while, then the cooked rice is raw and the fried food is half cooked.

Therefore, if you want to cook delicious food and delicious food, you must have good firewood.

To cook a meal, you need to burn a lot of firewood, twice a day, more than 300 days a year, how much firewood is needed!

Therefore, farmers always look for firewood and firewood. Where can I find firewood? In the mountains, Woods and forests, of course.

People in the countryside have to go up the mountain to collect firewood. It can be said that before the 1980s, in my village, almost everyone had to go up the mountain to collect firewood, and everyone had many experiences in collecting firewood.

Because the crop straws in the field: rice straw, wheat straw, rape straw, corn straw and so on. , are not enough to cook and burn, firepower is not strong enough to burn. The best firewood is in the mountains. The best firewood is all kinds of trunks and branches in the mountains. ...

As a farmer, I have many experiences of collecting firewood in the mountains.

Looking for firewood in the mountains, the best season is winter. As we all know, there are a lot of dead trees and branches in the mountains in winter. This kind of dead tree is not only the best firewood, but also will not be scolded and beaten by mountain guards. Also, shrubs in winter have less water and light weight, so people can collect more firewood.

Therefore, experienced farmers always prepare firewood at home for a year in winter. I, my friends, collected firewood in the mountains almost every winter vacation. ...

When do I start looking for firewood up the hill? I can't remember the exact age. My village is a mountain village, only one mile away from the mountain. Therefore, this mountain is too familiar to me. Maybe I have known this mountain for as long as I can remember. I will walk and run for a while, and then go to the foot of the mountain to play.

I first went to the mountains to find firewood, of course, with my mother; Besides, my mother forced me.

Six or seven years old! I followed my mother to climb the mountain not far away with a bamboo basket on my back and a sickle in my hand. The capable mother cut a large bundle of firewood neatly; As a young man, I can only pick up some golden pine hairs falling from pine trees, some dry pine cones (pine shells) falling from pine trees with cracks, or some dead branches and roots. In this way, my mother carried a big load of firewood, and all I carried was firewood. We are happy to go home. ...

Throughout the winter vacation, our country partners went to the mountains to collect firewood almost every day.

When I was eleven or twelve years old, I became a man who went up the mountain to collect firewood. There are many little people like me in our village; Especially the little girls in the village, the strength and courage to pick firewood up the mountain are no worse than those of men. It is no exaggeration to say that we have climbed all over the mountains and hills within a dozen miles behind the village, no matter the towering peaks or cliffs, we have traveled all over; Moreover, everyone carries fifty or sixty kilograms of firewood.

At that time, in the evening on the threshing floor, several partners who had had enough dancing and chatting made an appointment: going up the mountain to collect firewood and going home to prepare.

So, the partners went home separately to prepare the brown rope of the pole. Of course, we have to take the steel machete or steel axe to the stone in the middle of the yard, so that the blade is firm, sharp and shiny.

In the morning, a rooster crowed, and I quickly got out of bed and put on patched clothes. Pick up a pole tied with a rope and hold a machete. Of course, I don't forget the military kettle with water on my back, and the wheat cake my mother prepared for me at night.

I quickly shuttled to the homes of several partners: Hu, Li and Cai. The partners got together and set off in a hurry.

In the hazy sky, five or six male and female friends, wearing stars and Dai Yue, stepped on the frost, talking and laughing, and quickly climbed the hillside. ...

3. The steep "bamboo trunk slope", we climbed it in one breath.

The continuous mountain behind the village is the battlefield for us to collect firewood. There are famous articles in the mountains: "Zhuganpo, Qin Long, Monk Temple, Jianshan, Twelve Bends, Zhongshan, Changling Valley in Daheishan ..."

These radiant valleys, with the wonderful Pingba village in the mountains as the point, are the best places for people in our village to often find firewood.

However, to reach these places, we have to climb mountains and mountains, cross rugged mountain roads, and cross large and small mountain streams and rivers. ...

To climb from the foot of the mountain, we must first climb the first Caijie Mountain standing behind the village. The slope is forty or fifty degrees, the slope is winding, there are gravel everywhere, it is covered with frost, and the road surface is wet and slippery.

Over the Dahongshan, through the rotten ruins, straight to Dapingtan. After an hour or so of rapid climbing, I finally climbed to the top of the first mountain.

Then I went to Gong Jieshan and Li Jieshan. Go downhill, keep going downhill on the winding path. About two kilometers mountain road, go to Shanqinggou River.

Standing in the green wetland, looking up at the mountains. The mountain road in front of us is a steep bamboo trunk slope.

Oh! This is a magnificent mountain, this is a very steep hillside, about seventy or eighty degrees steep, like a straight bamboo pole, standing in front of people.

Grit your teeth and climb! Climb up! This is the hero!
