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

Zhou Xing pointed to a big tree by the roadside. The tree was full of lush green leaves, and even more eye-catching were the densely packed purple fruits hanging on it.

"This is a mulberry tree. The mulberries on it are edible!"

In the original body's memory, there were no mulberry trees in the small village where he lived, so it's no wonder that his younger brother didn't recognize it.

Zhou Yue picked a ripe mulberry and put it in her brother's hand.

"Wow! Mulberries are so delicious! So sweet!"

Zhou Xing put it in his mouth and chewed it. His mouth was filled with a sweet taste and his teeth were stained purple.

Along the way, mulberry trees were everywhere as far as the eye could see.

Some of the trees are so thick that a person cannot hug them, and some are just small saplings, and they are everywhere in the mountains.

Zhou Yue was from Sichuan in her previous life. There were mulberry trees in her hometown, but not as many as they could be.

The purple-red mulberries on the roadside were so tempting that the Red Army soldiers drooled at the sight.

But no one picked them, so Zhou Yue picked the ones for her brother secretly.

After all, this is the discipline of the Red Army. They will not take anything from the masses, and they will never steal vegetables and fruits from the roadside.

After entering Ningnan County, the soldiers took a short rest here.

Ningnan County is not as short of water as Huidong County, and there are several clear streams near the camp.

Zhou Yue put a lot of fish and crabs in the creek in advance. The crabs were mountain crabs bought from the mall.

Mountain crabs are rich in protein, fat and various nutrients. Mountain crabs are also a traditional Chinese medicine and are very nutritious.

"Haha! I caught another one!"

Zhou Yue was holding a bucket and happily catching crabs in the stream.

She set the crab receiving position under the rocks in the stream. As long as she turned over the rocks, she could see the fat mountain crabs underneath.

"Ah Yue! Look at mine, it's so big!"

Lin Xiuhua rolled up her trouser legs, holding a big crab in her hand, and was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

This stream is very long from upstream to downstream, and there are many stones in it, so there are naturally many crabs under the stones.

Now that the weather is not as cold as before, many soldiers are willing to go into the water, carrying small buckets and bamboo baskets, and happily turning over stones in the stream.

Relying on the skills she learned from catching crabs in the creek as a child, Zhou Yue easily filled a large bucket.

She also caught a lot of fish with a bamboo basket. She plans to make a seafood porridge that will make your eyes drop at noon today.

After cleaning the mountain crabs with water, remove the crab gills and some inedible parts, chop the crabs into small pieces, and beat the crab legs with the back of a knife.

This pot of seafood porridge contains not only mountain crabs and fish, but also diced mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and the fragrance wafts from far away.

The tempting fragrance soon attracted some children in the village.

The children were too embarrassed to get close, so they hid behind a big mulberry tree and swallowed their saliva frantically.

"Brother, it smells so good, I'm so hungry!"

A little girl of five or six years old, with saliva already flowing down to her chin, was pulling at the sleeve of the boy next to her, her eyes full of aggrieved desire.

The boy also wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, sister! I will definitely let you eat it!"

Another boy next to him looked unconvinced.

"Heiwa, stop dreaming. Soldiers won't share their food with us!"

The kid next to him echoed, "That's right! Last time Sanniu asked Bai Gouzi for a small piece of steamed bun, he got kicked several times and didn't get out of bed for several days!"

Heiwa was a little hesitant after hearing this, but when he saw his sister was as greedy as a poor puppy, he decided to think of a solution.

"Let's go! Let's go pick mulberries!"

A group of children went home to get the bamboo baskets they used to cut grass for the pigs and came under the mulberry tree.

Purple and black mulberries were scattered everywhere under the mulberry tree. They were crushed and sticky, and the ground under the tree was full of fruit fragrance.

Heiwa was very agile, like a nimble little monkey, and he climbed up the tree in no time.

Every branch was loaded with mulberries, and I plucked them into my backpack as if they were free.

However, these mulberries are indeed free. Almost all of the mulberry trees in Ningnan County are wild and have no owners, so anyone can pick them.

This thing is everywhere and can’t be sold. The locals are tired of eating it.

Every year, there are a large number of mulberries on the trees that no one picks them. They either rot on the trees or fall to the ground and become fertilizer.

Several boys climbed up the tree to pick fruits, and soon filled several large backpacks.

The children carried their backpacks and walked quickly towards the soldiers' camp.

Zhou Yue was standing in front of the big pot at this time, stirring the delicious food in the pot with a spoon.

Several children walked towards her, looking a little embarrassed.

"Sister, can we trade you some mulberry fruits for some food?"

Heiwa's heart was beating fast as he spoke. He felt that this sister would reject him in the next second.

After all, mulberry fruits are the least valuable and are everywhere, while the delicious food in this pot is so fragrant that it can make your soul drift away.

Seeing these greedy kids in front of her, Zhou Yue wanted to agree immediately, but she still had to ask the kitchen squad leader Zhao Dashan's opinion.

"Brother Dashan, these kids want to exchange mulberries for some porridge, is that okay?"

Zhao Dashan said without hesitation, "Of course!"

We caught a lot of fish and crabs in the creek today, and these big pots of porridge are about to overflow.

It’s no problem to give some to the children. If it’s not enough, he can also eat the dry food he brought with him.

"Children, do you have a bowl?"

"Yes! Thank you, sister!"

Heiwa took out a few worn and chipped bowls from his backpack and handed them over respectfully.

There were five children in total and five small bowls. Zhou Yue filled half a bowl for each of them.

"Thank you sister!"

"Thank you sister!"

"Thank you sister!"

The children took the bowls and expressed their gratitude one after another. They were happier than during the Chinese New Year and they all smiled with their eyes curved.

Five little kids sat on the ground nearby, eating with such relish that they even licked the bowls until they were shiny.

After finishing the meal, Heiwa came to Zhou Yue and said, "Sister, please get something to hold the mulberries."

"Hey! Good!"

Zhou Yue picked up a small bamboo basket next to her and was about to fill it with mulberry fruits.

"Sister, do you have a bigger backpack? Otherwise it won't fit."

After saying this, Heiwa pointed to the four backpacks behind him, which were full of mulberries.

"Ah? Are these all for us?"

Zhou Yue was a little surprised. She had seen these four baskets just now and thought they were out specifically to pick mulberries.

If I exchanged food with them, I could get at most a basket of mulberries, but I didn't expect to get so much.

Hei Wa nodded seriously, "Yes, these are all!"

"That's too much, isn't it bad?"

She felt that she was taking advantage of the child by carrying four large baskets of mulberries.

These cute kids all shook their heads.

"Not much, not much. Mulberry fruits are everywhere and they are not valuable!"

"These are all wild mulberry trees. Sisters, pick as many as you want!"

"That's right! If we don't pick them now, they will all rot on the tree like last year!"

When Zhou Yue heard this, she couldn't help but sigh that Ningnan County was really good, as it was so easy to achieve mulberry fruit freedom.

You have to know that in modern times, it is quite expensive for people living in cities to buy mulberries. A small box of mulberries can be sold for more than ten or twenty yuan.

Zhou Yue smiled brightly, "Thank you so much, we will accept these mulberries!"

Zhou Yue and his team washed the mulberries in several large backpacks with stream water, put them in buckets and carried them to the camp.

"Comrades, it's time to eat mulberries!"

"Hey! Sweet mulberry fruit! Come and have a taste!"

The soldiers gathered around and each grabbed a handful, their lips turning purple from eating so much.

“This fruit is so sweet!”

"It's sweeter than the goat's milk fruit last time!"

Instructor Liu Yaowen was at the back, waiting for the soldiers in front to eat first.

Zhou Yue scooped a handful from the bucket and came to Instructor Liu.

"Instructor, I have something I want to discuss with you."
