"Minghua, don't run around. Find a tree to play under and wait for your third sister. I'll come and call you when I'm done."
Xiao Ming looked left and right, and saw a tree stump nearby. He picked a handful of flowers and sat down quietly.
Seeing that she was honest and obedient, Zhou Mingshu rolled up his sleeves and started digging wild vegetables.
This Viola yedoensis is very easy to dig. You can dig a large handful just by squatting down without even moving your feet.
In her memory, the whole body of Viola yedoensis is edible. The flowers and leaves taste similar to ordinary vegetable leaves, but the roots taste like chewy noodles, adding a sense of layering to the whole dish.
So Zhou Mingshu pried it out with its roots and leaves. There was mud on the roots, so he just washed it a few more times.
Anyway, there is a small river behind the house, and the flowing water saves time and effort when flushing.
In just an hour, her basket was full. Washing such a whole basket was a big job.
But Zhou Mingshu had no intention of stopping. Even though his wrists and arms were sore, he still did not stop moving his hands.
It was almost time for lunch, and she and Minghua were about to go home.
She needs to dig two more kilograms to exchange for some points in the system.
This pound of Viola yedoensis is worth 20 points. Even if you only exchange two pounds, that would be 40 points.
40 points can be exchanged for 40 copper coins. It’s irrational to think about it!
"Third sister, it's grandma."
Zhou Minghua ran over at some point and pointed at the people halfway up the mountain.
She looked up and saw that it was.
Grandma has been up the mountain for an hour or so. If she doesn't come back, lunch will be late.
Looking at Old Mrs. Zhou’s heavy footsteps, there is something in the basket!
She pressed the violet yedoensis in her hand into the basket and asked Minghua to watch over it while she trotted over to pick up Old Mrs. Zhou.
Old Mrs. Zhou had a very thin body, with only a few pounds of flesh on her body, and the skin on her neck was thin. She looked very old, but in fact she was only in her early fifties.
It looks like it has no roots when going up and down the mountain, and its swaying makes people worry.
"You damn girl, why are you here? Go, go, go back quickly."
"Grandma, let me help you carry the backpack. Is it heavy?"
Without waiting for Old Lady Zhou to slap her hand away, she swiftly dragged the backpack down.
"You damn girl..." Although Old Mrs. Zhou was cursing, the smile on her face became even brighter.
Zhou Mingshu took a look at the things in the backpack. It was all green. He actually found some garlic and a bunch of garlic sprouts.
Tiansuan is actually deer ear leek. It is called differently in different places, but it is still the same thing.
As soon as I took the blade in my hand, the system started beeping.
These are all good things that can be exchanged for money. I must go into the mountains next time.
"Grandma, Minghua and I dug up a lot of wild vegetables. At least we won't have to worry about food and drink for the next two days."
Zhou Mingshu said this with a smile, but Old Mrs. Zhou didn't seem very happy.
What's so happy about eating wild vegetables all day long? Her third daughter is so naive.
However, the wound on the forehead has scabbed over. It's a hot day today, so scabbing is a good thing. It would be bad if it festered.
"Okay, then let's go back quickly. It's almost noon and we have to go home to cook. There are so many mosquitoes in the mountains." Old Mrs. Zhou slapped her hands left and right, and her arms were covered with red dots. This is also the reason why she didn't let her granddaughter go into the mountains.
The grandparents walked one after the other, and Zhou Mingshu's system kept beeping along the way.
It seems that there are really a lot of wild vegetables on the roadside. After the wound on her forehead heals, she will have to dig some to taste, even if not for the points, for her own taste.
When they reached the flat ground, Zhou Mingshu returned the backpack to Old Mrs. Zhou and carried his own backpack instead.
You can tell which of the two backpacks is lighter by just looking at it.
"Sanya, you carry me and I'll carry yours."
Old Mrs. Zhou held on to her shoulder straps and refused to let go.
How could Zhou Mingshu agree to this? If his grandmother had to carry such a heavy basket, she would not be able to sleep at night.
"Grandma, just carry this carefully. I need to practice my strength so that I can hit you back if you hit me next time."
After she said this, Mrs. Zhou stopped.
"Sanya, what wild vegetable are you digging? Isn't this grass? Can you eat it?"
Old Mrs. Zhou took a handful of Viola yedoensis in her hand and took a look. She found that the sheep in her family used to love to eat this.
"Grandma, this is not grass, it's wild vegetable, edible. Look, the little bugs are eating it."
Old Mrs. Zhou raised her eyelids and looked at San Ya, who had a cut on her forehead. What she was thinking in her heart was that her girl might have been hit stupidly.
Yesterday I was trying to catch those damn sheep dung snails, and today I dug up this basket of grass for the sheep to eat.
She trusted her own girl too much and followed her.
But luckily, she found a piece of wild garlic when she went up the mountain today, and also picked a handful of garlic sprouts, so I will have something to eat at noon.
He sighed slightly, put down the "wild vegetables" in his hand, and took his two granddaughters back home.
Seeing her mother-in-law coming back with the children, Feng put down the embroidery in her hands and put the things into the house.
"Mother, my third sister dug up a lot of wild vegetables~"
Minghua's sweet voice rang out in the yard. Feng came over and helped Zhou Mingshu take off the heavy backpack on his back.
"Uh...this..." Feng raised her head and looked at her mother-in-law uncertainly.
She wasn't sure what kind of wild vegetable this was. Her family had never eaten it before. It looked more like grass growing in the ground.
The look in Mrs. Zhou's eyes told her that she had no idea that the basket of grass was being dug.
"Okay, Lao San's family, clean the pot and prepare to cook. I got some wild vegetables in the mountains. Let's stir-fry two dishes for lunch to change the taste."
"Okay, mother."
Mrs. Feng took a watering can and began to prepare for the meal, while Mrs. Zhou brought a thin bamboo basket from the kitchen, put the garlic and garlic sprouts from the backpack into it, and went out to the river behind the house.
This is to wash the vegetables.
Zhou Mingshu scratched her head in confusion. Was her basket of wild vegetables ignored?
Forget it, she'll just make it herself. She doesn't believe that no one will eat it after it's done.
She went to the kitchen and took out a thin bamboo basket. She picked a large handful of violets and put them in the basket, preparing to go to the river to wash them.
"Minghua, follow your mother. I'm going to wash the vegetables."
After being outside for so long in the heat, Minghua consciously ran to a cool place to cool down.
No one noticed her, and she immediately exchanged three kilograms of Viola yedoensis. 60 points immediately appeared in the system. Together with the remaining points, she now had a total of 79 points.
She is clearly a rich woman now. At least she won’t starve anymore.
Old Mrs. Zhou was washing the leaves of garlic, and soon a figure appeared beside her.
"Grandma, you wash so fast, you're almost done, and I haven't even started yet..."
"Then wash it well. I'll go home and cook."
Old Mrs. Zhou picked up the basket and looked back at her third daughter every few steps. She felt something was strange.
