"Garlic?" Zhou Mingqin looked in the direction Zhou Mingshu pointed. Was the ground in the woods covered with garlic?

"Oh my God, are there so many of them? Let's go and take a look." Zhou Mingqin exclaimed and ran towards the patch of garlic first.

With her leading the way, the younger ones followed one after another.

"It really is. Let's pick more."

The altitude of this place is high, giving you a feeling of "standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking all the other mountains".

Putting down the backpack, several people began to pick garlic leaves.

This patch of garlic grows very densely and you can pick a lot of it.

"It's quite tender and smells delicious." Zhou Mingqin picked a small handful and put it under her nose to smell it.

"Big sister, this little one is very tasty. Let's pick more and ask grandma and mother to make some pickles."

Zhou Mingqi grabbed a handful and put it in her backpack. This wild vegetable was very delicious and she liked it very much.

It’s just a little hard to find. If you finally come across one, you have to pick more.

"Okay, but it would be nice if there were some garlic sprouts, so we can have dumplings again."

Zhou Mingqin smiled and said that the garlic sprout dumplings she had eaten last time were very delicious and she still misses the taste a little bit.

"Big sister, if you want to eat some, we can pick more. If there are no garlic sprouts, we can use the stalks. The taste is the same."

Zhou Mingshu looked at the garlic leaves he had picked. They were big and full, and the stems below were white. They were not much worse than the garlic sprouts, and seemed to be slightly better.

"Sanya, this is a good idea. How many leaves should we pick? If we carry them home like this, we will sink to death."

"It's okay, we just twist off the leaves."

"Oh, that's feasible. But it's a pity that we can't take such good leaves with us."

Zhou Mingqin said it was a pity, but she was the first one to unscrew it.

The garlic at this altitude is very tender. If you put a handful of it together and twist it with your hands, the leaves and stems can be easily separated.

The leaves were thrown away, leaving only the tender stems.

Looking at the discarded leaves, it is indeed a pity.

How could Zhou Mingshu easily say it was a waste?

She followed behind and collected all the discarded leaves into the system and directly exchanged them for points.

It’s really wonderful.

When everyone's backpacks were almost full, they picked some leaves and planned to go home to make some pickles.

"There's no more room. Let's go home now. We can have lunch when we get home."

Zhou Mingqin estimated that it was almost time to go home.

Everyone went home in a mighty procession and picked a lot of wild fruits on the way.

"Big sister, what is that? It's red and pretty."

Zhou Mingqi found a tree full of red fruits. The small fruits were densely packed, one bunch next to another, which looked very festive.

Zhou Mingqi picked two and chewed them.

"Ugh~ Oh my god, I'm so jealous, bah~"

The little guy was so jealous that she stamped her feet.

"I really don't know this person, do you know him?"

Zhou Mingqin asked the three people behind him.

Zhou Mingshu was walking at the end. When she got closer, she saw that the system was beeping non-stop without her having to figure out anything.

"Sister, this is Schisandra chinensis, it's ripe, shall we pick some?"

"Schisandra chinensis? Can I eat this?"

Zhou Mingqin had never heard of this. If it was edible, she could pick some and take them back. After all, everyone’s hands were still empty.

"Schisandra chinensis is a medicinal herb. If we give it to Uncle Chen, he might be happy to take it. But we can also use it to make herbal tea. It can relieve heat and replenish qi. It is a very good thing."

She spoke a lot, but they didn't understand much. However, they did understand the last sentence.

"Then let's pick some and take them back. They are good things, so why not waste them?"

Zhou Mingjie picked the fruits directly. If he couldn’t sell them, he would make tea at home.

"Okay, pick some and put them in your hood."

There were many Schisandra berries on the tree. They picked them casually and filled three or four hats.

"That's enough, let's go home."

Without hats to protect them from the sun, everyone hurried down the mountain with frowns on their faces.

The adults in the Zhou family were also busy. They turned over the wheat on the wasteland for the last time. They planned to collect all the wheat grains.

This busy farming season is about to come to an end.

They saw the children coming back from a distance. The eldest and second sons of the Zhou family put the wooden forks aside and quickly took them.

"It's so heavy, how much did you pick?"

"Hahaha, all of them. Dad, we also picked garlic stems and Schisandra chinensis. When are you going to buy some meat? We'll have dumplings."

Zhou Mingjie looked up at his father, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Haha, this brat is craving for meat again. The wheat will be ready soon. We'll go buy meat when it's ready. What is this? It can't be the Schisandra chinensis you mentioned just now."

"Yeah, yes, Dad, it's a good thing San Ya recognized her, otherwise we would have missed her." Zhou Mingqi quickly continued.

They told Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er about the benefits of Schisandra chinensis, and they agreed and sent them home.

Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Minghua couldn't wait any longer. When they saw their sisters and brothers coming back, they quickly dropped the rabbit and ran over.

Are they welcoming the older sisters and brothers?

No! They want to eat strawberries...

I took basins and baskets and sorted out the things I had picked one by one.

Liu, Zhu, and Feng also gathered around to see what they had picked today in the mountain. They were all extremely surprised when they saw it.

"Oh my God, you picked so many garlics. Did you leave the stems on purpose?"

Liu rummaged through the basin and found that most of them were stems, with only a bunch of leaves.

"Hmm, that piece of garlic has no sprouts, so I picked the stalks. Mom, can we use the stalks to make dumplings?"

Hearing her daughter say this, Liu's eyes were full of doting.

"Okay, tell her when your grandma comes back."

They moved the garlic and strawberries into the house, as they would wilt in the sun after a while.

"This little red fruit is inedible, it's sour. Why did you pick it and bring it back? Don't you even try it?"

Liu knew this thing. It looked very nice, but it was useless and tasted extremely sour, and was completely inedible.

The adults and children laughed at each other and could not understand each other.

"Mother, this is called Schisandra chinensis, it is a medicinal herb that can be soaked in water and drunk to relieve summer heat."

Zhou Mingshu explained it further.

Liu and Zhu slapped their thighs and said it was a pity.

"We have come across many of these small red beans in the mountains before, but we didn't pick them. We didn't know what they were, and they tasted sour, so we didn't want any!"

The three sisters-in-law looked at each other, and the word "regret" was written all over their eyes.
