Chapter 24 24. Picking wild vegetables
There are not many wild mushrooms, but they are better because they have just sprouted. At this moment, each one is round and cute, and they have not aged at all.
Huaiyu circled the tree trunk and carefully pinched the handle of the umbrella and broke it off. Seeing that there was a new ingredient in the basket on his back, he couldn't help but feel more and more satisfied.
After all these were broken, she followed the vine mark that was entangled last time and came to a gentle slope in front of her as expected.
There, after a spring rain, bracken grew quietly branch by branch, and the number was even greater than last time! Huaiyu only needs to reach out and pinch and break——
"Da."
The crisp and subtle sound was so pleasant, and paired with this feeling of harvest, Huaiyu couldn't help but grin and show a bright smile.
Next, she is going to have a big fight!
"Ta!" "Ta!" "Ta!"
A series of crisp sounds kept ringing on this hillside, and there were more and more bracken in Huaiyu's hands.
Although this kind of bracken is not as delicious as water fern in her opinion, she has no choice now.
What's more, leeks can be sold for 12 cents per catty. If you bring this over, Boss Tang should be able to keep his word, so take it for eight cents per catty!
Her figure spread back and forth on the entire hillside, and except for the bracken that had just emerged, she caught everything else.
But this kind of thing will grow again as soon as the spring breeze blows, so there is no need to hold on!
Now that the basket on his back was already heavy and full, Huaiyu took back his hand and saw several small trees with dragon buds. But I guessed that even if I broke it off, I wouldn’t be able to collect more than two kilograms, so I let it go for the time being.
There is another Chinese toon tree that is full of vitality and extremely tall. The clusters of buds on it have already poked their heads out. Although it is still early, it is still a good reserve tree.
Ke Huaiyu only glanced at it and sighed with regret:
"It's so high, I can't climb up..."
But it doesn't matter, there are still large areas of shepherd's purse at the foot of the mountain. Woolen cloth!
Thinking of shepherd’s purse, one can’t help but think of shepherd’s purse dumplings. Thinking of shepherd’s purse dumplings, Huaiyu couldn’t help but become greedy again.
But it was already past nine o'clock, and the sky was still gloomy. She could put the dumplings behind her and quickly go dig the shepherd's purse.
It was said to be digging, but since I didn’t bring any tools, I could only hold the root and pull it out carefully. Fortunately, it had just rained and the soil was moist, so the difficulty was not that great.
It’s just that compared to bracken, shepherd’s purse is unavoidable.
Huaiyu put down the backpack, took out a large plastic bag, shook it vigorously, and put the shepherd's purse that he just brought in.
It’s such a big place here, and she has three plastic bags with her. She has to pick one or two bags first.
The hour hand of the tattered watch pointed to 11:00, and all three of her bags were filled to the brim.
Huaiyu has been bending down all morning, and now he can hardly stand up straight, his waist and back hurt. But he didn't dare to rest, for fear that he would lose strength after relaxing.
At this moment, I only stretched a few times, put the heavy basket on my back again, carried the bags in my hands, and hurried home again.
Sanqing Mountain is so big that you don’t feel the distance when picking wild vegetables. But in fact, it takes an hour to go all the way around the mountainside. When you get home at twelve o’clock, if it hasn’t rained yet, Then she has to send these to Boss Tang as soon as possible.
Otherwise...
Huai Yufa became worried: Otherwise, he would have to find another reason to take them to the defense army.
She sighed, looked up at the gloomy sky, clasped her hands together and whispered softly:
"Please! Give me some face! Don't rain during the day!"
< br>...After completing the standard psychological comfort process, she quickly set off.
It was just half past twelve when she returned to the tree house, and she only had time to pour the ice-cold salt and sugar water she had boiled yesterday into a bowl, drink it down, and then set off again.
After taking two steps, she turned back and covered the backpack with a straw curtain. The coat she changed into in the morning was bulged up with three plastic bags to cover it.
Looking at the slightly moist grass, he gritted his teeth and put on the new shoes and pants he bought the day before yesterday, and then used his fingers to gather his hair again before starting again.
Unfortunately this time, Huaiyu waited at the platform for nearly half an hour before the bus finally arrived. Probably because it was going to rain, there were only a few people on the bus.
No one was chatting. Now that she knew a lot of things, she stopped casually starting the topic.
But not long after the car started, not everyone can hold a mobile phone to video chat, so someone started talking again.
“The forecast says it will rain heavily tomorrow, why do I think it will rain today?”
“Hey, it’s not just a matter of time or two that our forecast is inaccurate. What a change, it’s difficult to take photos of plants anywhere with satellites, and all the photos show are flowers.”
“If you say you can’t take photos of flowers, plants and trees, then the weather is probably terrible.”
"That's right! Even if it rains, you have to prepare a raincoat at home, otherwise it will be inconvenient for the children to go to work. It will cost you money again."
"Sigh. My son hasn't found a job yet."
"Who says it's not the case? We live near here and the initial contribution points are not high, but now employers give priority to those with high points during interviews. ..."
"Oh! If I had known that life would be difficult for a few years, I shouldn't have allowed him to be lazy in the base..."
"...Don't After spending that money, I just need the plastic bag that I don’t use for the time being. I’m just worried about what to eat... You said that the edible rice, flour, grains and oils are now very expensive, and I drink nutrient solution every day, which makes me sick. Dead.”
“There are people selling aged rice in the square in our community. Didn’t you buy it? There are also people selling home-grown wild vegetables.”
"Ouch! Aged rice is 30 cents per pound, which is enough for my whole family to have a meal. This is out of season and I can't bear to part with it."
"What about self-cultivated wild vegetables? Go to the park, or dig it in the bushes on the roadside. The mutation value is high, and there is no one below 18. It's so painful..."
"My son also had a good academic background at the base. There are a lot of things to do, and now I am assigned to work in the statistics department. The salary there is high, one hundred and eighty a month..."
"Oh! My daughter is also in that administrative building. I go to work, but I’m not assigned an apartment. I have to catch the bus at six o’clock every day so as not to be late...”
“Let me tell you, there are flour sellers in the trading market. Although it’s a little stale, it’s still edible. , 22 cents per pound, buy it and mix it with the nutrient solution to make steamed buns..."
The conversation was actually messy, but Huaiyu could also hear some details.
It was the monitoring satellites and weather satellites that shocked her.
Then she relaxed hard again.
Since the plants are no longer allowed to be photographed, it is definitely impossible to photograph the rose corridor. She was too imprudent before.
However, there is nothing you can do if you are not careful.
Huaiyu gently stroked the straw curtain on the basket——
Now the only thing he needs to feed and clothe his parents is that big mountain.
……
Update is coming! It's a little late.
