The two people behind him saw Su He bend down without saying a word and pick the weed-like thing in front of him.

He immediately asked, "Ah He, this is also a wild vegetable, can I eat it?"

It’s no wonder that Su Mu was confused. The wild vegetables we usually eat don’t look like this. Can this thing that looks like a vine really be eaten?

Seeing Su He picked a large bunch without saying a word, he and Su Chi were still stunned and didn't react.

I don’t know whether I should pick them with Su He or not.

Su He looked at the ferns that she could hardly hold in her arms, and waved to Su Chi, motioning him to bring the basket over.

After Su He put the bracken he had just picked into the basket and filled it up, he straightened up and explained to Su Mu and Su Chi:

"Brother, this is called fern. Not only is it edible, but it also tastes delicious."

Fried bracken with bacon is a delicacy, but unfortunately the Su family is too poor and they can’t even afford to eat eggs, let alone bacon.

Moreover, there are so many ferns in this valley that I am afraid I can never pick them all. These ferns are not only delicious, but the ones that you can’t finish can also be picked and dried to make dried vegetables, and then you don’t have to worry about having nothing to eat.

The more Su He thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible. However, the Su family had never eaten this fern before, so he decided to pick some and take them back for everyone to try. If they liked it, he could go into the mountains and pick more.

As soon as I heard Su He say that this thing is not only edible, but also tastes good.

Su Mu and Su Chi believed it without a doubt because the meals they had eaten in the past two days were all things they had never eaten before, but they tasted extremely good. They are still savoring the flavor.

If Su He says it is edible, then it must be edible.

Since it is a good thing, we certainly cannot miss it. We should pick more and take them back quickly.

The two of them quickly stood up to pick bracken. Su He smiled and waved at them.

"Brother, Ah Chi, don't pick them yet. This basket is enough for two days. Let's pick them later."

This season is the peak season for bracken. Su He remembered the location and will come back when there is time.

When they heard Su He say not to pick them for the time being, although they were a little confused, they still nodded obediently. Anyway, whatever Su He said was what they did.

Su He came into the mountains today not just to pick wild vegetables, he was also thinking about how to make money.

This mountain is rich in resources, and she must take a good look to see if there is anything that can make money.

After saying that, Su He looked around, wondering which direction to go. In a flash, he saw faint red spots in a dense forest in the distance, which seemed to be some wild fruit.

"Brother, do you see any wild fruits over there? Let's go and take a look."

Su Mu looked in the direction Su He pointed, then nodded at her. She didn't look like a wild flower.

"Something like, go this way, the bushes over there are too dense."

Su Mu took a big step forward and walked in front of Su He, sickle in hand, and carefully cut the branches that were blocking the way in front of him to prevent the two people behind him from walking in difficulty.

After walking in the direction they had just seen for a while, the three of them saw a field of fruit trees full of fruits.

There are red and green fruits on the tree. Each small and exquisite fruit looks like a small lantern, which looks beautiful and festive.

It is even more dazzling against the backdrop of green leaves.

"Sister, can this wild fruit be eaten?"

Su Chi walked forward and pulled Su He's sleeve, then looked up and asked her, he didn't recognize the fruits from the mountains, but his sister would definitely know.

Su Chi now has an inexplicable trust in Su He.

Su He pulled down a branch, reached out to pick a few already red fruits, and put them in her mouth. They were sour and astringent with a hint of sweetness, exactly the taste of her childhood.

The corners of Su He's mouth slowly lifted up, and he secretly confirmed in his heart that this was the Elaeagnus densiflorus that he often ate when he was a child.

Seeing that the two people in front of him were staring at him, Su He handed the fruit in his hand to them and let them have a taste.

"what........."

As soon as Su Chi saw Su He handing over the wild fruit, he couldn't wait to put it in his mouth and taste it.

As soon as she tasted it, she frowned, "Sister, why isn't it sweet? Is it not ripe yet?"

Su Mu on the side also frowned and looked at Su He with confusion.

Fruits are indeed rare in the remote Yunli Village. We can occasionally eat some wild fruits, but none of them are so... sour and not sweet enough.

Su He gave it to them after tasting it. It should be edible wild fruit, but it may not be ripe yet.

"That's right. I'm afraid it will take some time before it's cooked."

Su He heard what the two said, laughed softly, and explained:

"This fruit is called Elaeagnus serrata. It's ripe when it's completely red like this. But this wild fruit tastes like this. It's a bit sour when eaten directly, but it can be made into candied fruit, preserved fruit or jam, which are all delicious."

After saying that, Su He suddenly had an idea. She looked around and saw quite a few wild fruits. If she made them into moutan bark and sold them in town, she should be able to exchange them for some silver.

Yunli Village is located in a remote area, but there should be quite a few wealthy families in the town, so some people would buy it as snacks.

"Brother, let's pick some of this fruit and take it back. I have an idea that I want to try. I'll let you guys taste it when I'm done."

Everyone in the Su family knew about Su He's cooking skills. When Su Mu and Su Chi heard Su He say that he wanted to pick this wild fruit, they did not hesitate. Su He said that he would make something new for them to try, and it must taste good.

The two of them no longer worried about the fact that the fruit was sour and not sweet enough after tasting it. They put down the baskets and backpacks in their hands and prepared to pick them.

"Just pick the red ones. The others are not ripe yet."

Su He shouted to the two people from behind, saying that if they really succeeded and could sell them, they could just come back and pick them then, and they could wait for the other fruits to ripen slowly.

Su Mu nodded and told the shorter Su Chi to pick the shorter ones under the trees, while he would pick the ones on the taller ones.

Su He put the mushrooms picked from the two backpacks together, leaving one basket empty, and the three of them began picking mushrooms.

Thinking of his plan, Su He felt excited and his movements of picking fruits involuntarily quickened.

The Su family is not only short of food now, but also short of money.

If I don't find a way to make money quickly, I will have to eat porridge and wild vegetables every day. Moreover, the family still owes so much foreign debt, and I don't know when I can pay it off, let alone have enough food and clothing and live a leisurely life.

It took the three of them almost an incense stick of time to fill a basket. That was all for today. They also picked up a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms, enough to eat for two days.

"Let's go back first."
