"Second sister, what kind of chicken grass sprouts did grandma ask us to dig? Can this little chick eat grass when it's so young? It won't have diarrhea, will it?"

"Haha, you're still worrying about this. But I don't understand these things. Anyway, just listen to grandma."

As soon as we arrived at the field, the system's prompt sounds kept ringing.

But when she looked carefully, she realized that what Zhou Mingqi was digging was purslane.

Could it be that purslane is the chicken grass that grandma mentioned?

"This chicken grass is really delicious. Our chickens will definitely love it."

Purslane is a fleshy plant, and its leaves appear thicker after the rain. It is not only a wild vegetable, but also a traditional Chinese medicine. However, the villagers of Lianglin Village treat it as chicken grass, which is a pity for Purslane.

Zhou Mingshu pulled it, and the system's voice followed.

[Two ounces of natural wild purslane, worth 1 point, do you want to redeem it? ]

She didn't say anything and continued to pull the purslane on the ground. There were so many of them, and many plants had small pale yellow flowers.

"Second sister, this should be enough."

The two of them just shoveled and pulled the weeds together, and the small basket was full.

"Well, these chicken grasses are too big. A few of them will fill up the basket. Let's go home."

The people who had gone to work in the fields had returned and were washing and wiping their faces.

When Zhu saw her daughters come back, she asked them where they had been.

Zhou Mingshu threw the purslane in his hand into the chicken coop. The chicks pounced on it and pecked at it non-stop, chirping like starving ghosts.

"Mother, why don't we try what the chicken eats? It's not poisonous at all, and it might taste good."

"Why do you want to try everything? Do you think you are Shennong and can taste all kinds of herbs? If they were edible, everyone would have eaten them long ago. Things that have not been passed down are either not tasty or cannot be eaten..."

Before Zhu finished speaking, Zhou Mingshu immediately added, "Or you don't know!"

"It is because you don't know that you have never eaten gardenias, broom mushrooms, or drank tea made with honeysuckle. Tomorrow I will go to Baicaotang to ask Doctor Chen whether this chicken grass is edible!"

"You little bastard, you only know how to talk back. Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. The fish your grandma is cooking will make you so delicious~"

"What? It was obviously me who burned it."

Zhou Mingshu ran while laughing, but Zhu didn't believe her at all and thought she was still talking nonsense.

The corn at home had been almost eaten, so Zhou Laoer bought some more when he returned home.

As soon as I got home, I saw the food was served on the table.

It's such a coincidence that every time I go home, it shows that Mrs. Zhou has a very accurate timing for cooking.

"Mom, why are there fish to eat today? It looks like it would go well with rice."

"Yeah, I caught it when San Ya was washing clothes. This fish is stupid. You should eat less later, otherwise it will become stupid."

When everyone heard what Old Lady Zhou said, they all burst into laughter.

But this fish is really stupid. Zhou Mingzhi and his two brothers have been squatting by the river for a long time but have never encountered such a stupid one.

Everyone took their stools and sat at the table and started eating. The first dish they picked up their chopsticks was the braised fish.

"Hmm~ delicious, delicious, I have never eaten such delicious fish~" Zhou Laosan sighed with satisfaction, feeling that no chef in the town could cook such a delicious meal.

"It's really good, Mom. When did your cooking skills become so good?"

"What? I didn't cook this fish. Guess who cooked it?"

"Sister-in-law, it wasn't you who burned it."

Liu picked up a piece of fish back meat and shook her head repeatedly, "How can I do that? I just came back from the fields."

Zhou Laoer looked at his wife again. Zhu also had a confused look on her face. Now she was wondering if it was really her daughter who did it.

"I know, it was my second and third sisters, I saw them."

Zhou Mingyuan had time to speak only after he spat out the fishbone in his mouth. He had never eaten such delicious fish before. It was so delicious that he didn't want to talk and just wanted to eat.

"It's Erya and Sanya, how did you cook it? There's not even a fishy smell. You're almost as good as a chef."

Zhou Mingqi and Zhou Mingshu, who were praised, looked at each other with a smile, and Zhou Mingshu spoke first.

"Because I marinated it with ginger slices, added green onions to remove the fishy smell, and then fried it in oil until golden brown, and then finally..."

Everyone was stunned to hear her describe it so complicatedly, especially since it was fried in oil. In previous years, they would only make fried fish during the Chinese New Year, but the family’s situation has hit rock bottom in the past two years, and they haven’t eaten fried fish for a long time.

Old Mrs. Zhou on the side didn't say anything. She knew best how much oil was missing in the oil tank.

The two girls just wanted everyone to have more food, and she, as an elder, shouldn't scold them.

If there is less lard, then it is less, and they can just buy more lard to make stew later, but their filial piety is an ironclad fact.

Seeing that everyone looked a little strange, Zhou Mingshu stopped talking.

She only took two bites of such delicious braised fish.

Although she also had a strong appetite, she had eaten too much good food in the past, and what interested her most were the wild vegetables and mushrooms that she had rarely eaten.

There were many people in the family, and each person took turns to use chopsticks to pick up the three-pound grass carp, and soon the bones inside the fish appeared.

The fish head and tail were also sucked clean, which further strengthened Zhou Mingshu's idea of ​​making more money as soon as possible!

She ate the mushrooms in front of her. They were crunchy and fragrant, a delicacy that she, a person from the inland, had rarely eaten.

Seeing that she was eating with relish, Old Mrs. Zhou picked up a few more pieces for her with her chopsticks.

This third girl is just a fool. She didn't even eat two more pieces of such delicious fish, but ate the mushrooms until they turned red.

Even though he felt sorry for her, he couldn't give her the fish or meat so blatantly, so he could only give her some vegetarian food.

"Tomorrow, San Ya, the eldest brother and I will go to town. You can stay at home and do your own things. You don't have to wait for us for lunch. I've brought some things to her aunt's house. Besides, I have some other things to do..."

After telling their plans, Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan asked if they could go together tomorrow.

Old Mrs. Zhou refused. They had some things to bring with them, so they would not go so early. They wanted to wait for the ox cart from Lijia Village.

The braised fish was so delicious that Zhou Mingzhi and Zhou Mingjie could not sit still after their meal. They pushed and clamored and ran to the river again. They insisted on catching a few fish to braise and eat.

The children were very sharp-eyed, so Zhou Mingqin and her two sisters ran over to take a look.

"It's really hard to catch. It just rained, so the water is deeper and muddy."

The two young men kept walking in circles by the river, not knowing how to catch fish, and even when they went into the water they couldn't find any.

Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi on the side had already caught quite a few snails.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Let's pick up snails. We've already picked up a bunch."

There were indeed quite a few snails on the river bank, and they had no choice but to pick up the snails while thinking of a solution.

Seeing that he had picked up a lot, Zhou Mingshu had to go home to get a basket, and also took a handful of corn to try.
