With Pinxixi in hand, I have a supermarket in the Changzheng!

Changbai Mountain is truly full of treasures, with all kinds of wild vegetables and medicinal herbs growing everywhere in the mountains and fields.

There are many varieties of wild vegetables that Zhou Yuejian has never seen before. This is really an eye-opener for him.

"Girl, this is prickly ash, we all love to eat this wild vegetable here!"

The village chief's wife picked a tender green bud from the top of a branch and placed it in Zhou Yue's hand for her to identify carefully.

"Wow! This is the young thorn bud!"

When Zhou Yue held it in her hand, she thought it was a toon sprout. To be honest, it does look a bit like it.

However, there are many sharp thorns on the branches of the prickly buds. When picking this wild vegetable, be careful not to prick your hands.

It doesn't have the rich smell unique to toon buds.

She had heard before that prickly ash sprouts were the king of wild vegetables in Northeast China, but this was the first time she had seen it in person and she wondered what it tasted like.

Spring has arrived and everything is coming back to life. Not long after going up the mountain, I have picked half a sack of young thorny shoots.

There are so many shepherd's purse and dandelions on this mountain that they are almost everywhere.

Zhou Yue is familiar with two wild vegetables, shepherd's purse and dandelion, which can be used to make buns and dumplings.

During the Long March, Zhou Yue dug a lot for the soldiers to eat. She chopped up shepherd's purse and dandelion, added them to flour to make vegetable cakes, which tasted good.

Zhou Yue took a small hoe and started digging the shepherd's purse and dandelions on the ground.

The village chief's wife came over and saw Zhou Yue who was concentrating, and she laughed heartily.

"Haha, silly girl, why did you dig up so much shepherd's purse and motherwort? Come on, I'll take you to pick monkey legs!"

Zhou Yue was a little confused when she heard the word "monkey legs" and asked.

"Ah? Are there still monkeys on this mountain?"

Hearing Zhou Yue's question, the village head's wife laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

"Haha, silly girl, it's not a monkey's leg, it's a wild vegetable. Come, I'll find it for you!"

The village chief's wife took Zhou Yue to search nearby and found the target.

"Girl, look, this is a monkey's leg!"

When Zhou Yue saw this thing, she understood why it was called monkey legs.

This is a fern plant with a layer of hair growing on the outside of its stems and leaves. The color is very similar to monkey hair, brown and yellow.

"This monkey leg is a good thing. Let's pick more. I'll go back and make some fried monkey legs with bacon for you to try. It's so delicious!"

Zhou Yue bent down and pinched the monkey's legs, responding with a smile on her lips.

"Okay sister!"

After picking a large bundle of monkey legs, Zhou Yue came to the village chief's wife and found that there were a lot of things that looked like garlic sprouts in her pocket.

They look like a smaller version of garlic sprouts, with green leaves on top and round garlic bulbs on the bottom.

"Sister! Can garlic still grow on this mountain?"

The village chief's wife was very talkative and I told her about this.

"This is called garlic chives, also known as wild onions. In the past, this thing had to be presented as tribute to the imperial palace!"

"In the past, during the Qing Dynasty, the Ula General Administration Office would pick wild vegetables and send them to the imperial city as tribute every year. They would dry the small garlic roots or make them into pickles and transport them to the capital. The escorting carriages would not stop for a moment, and it would take a month to arrive!"

"Wow! So good! I must try this little garlic when I get home today!"

Zhou Yue's eyes sparkled as she held the garlic cloves in her hand. She couldn't wait to taste what the garlic cloves that the emperor and concubines in the palace had eaten tasted like!

In addition to these, Zhou Yue also picked many different kinds of wild vegetables, including hemp seeds, mountain celery, artemisia selengensis sprouts and cow-hair mulberry, etc.

The village chief and his son Mancang did not join in today's wild vegetable picking activity.

They went to check the traps they had set a few days ago. Zhou Yue was a little curious about what they had harvested.
