After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Wushan Village is nestled between mountains and water. There are scattered rice fields at the foot of the mountain and endless mountains behind the village. In summer, it looks like green fields and jungles with fresh air.

There is a main road in the village that passes through two low-lying valleys and takes an hour to reach Wenzhu County.

Lin Ting followed Yang Xiuxiu, who used a sickle to cut the grass on the road and walked to a ditch where several wild water celery plants grew.

In this village with a large population and limited land, every family eats wild vegetables, so it is not easy to find enough wild vegetables for a meal.

But Lin Ting followed Yang Xiuxiu out not to look for wild vegetables, she wanted to see if there was anything that could earn her money.

Along the way, she saw some herbs, including Viola dahurica and Herba Lycopodii, but not in large quantities.

The most abundant and fattest plant is plantain.

She had studied Chinese medicine in her previous life, and since the price of plantain was not as good as the first two, she would look to see if there were any other options.

If there was really nothing, she would dig some plantain and go to the county to see if she could earn some money.

"Xiaobao, do me a favor. Have you seen this kind of grass?"

Lin Ting picked a plantain from the roadside and brought it to Shen Wanyi to teach her how to identify it.

"There are a lot of seeds on this grass. Squeeze these seeds tightly with your hands, and then pull them out. Then put these plantain seeds in this cloth bag."

Lin Ting demonstrated as he spoke, fearing that Shen Wanyi wouldn't understand, after all, she was still too young.

"Well, this grass is really interesting. Xiaobao wants to help mother collect the seeds."

Shen Wanyi is very obedient. Although she is young, she is much more sensible than her peers.

Perhaps with parents like Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou, it is difficult not to be sensible.

Looking at the plantain all over the ground, Xiaobao could collect a lot of plantain seeds with just a pull of her hands. Lin Ting smiled and touched her head.

I stood up and walked towards the ditch that Yang Xiuxiu had walked past. Beyond the ditch was a river that passed through the lower reaches of Wushan Village.

This glance made her discover that the riverside was full of thick-skinned calamus, weighing about several hundred kilograms.

Acorus calamus has a pungent and warm taste, and is used to treat wind-cold-dampness arthralgia, cough, reverse breathing, open the nine orifices, and treat deafness and carbuncle.

It can treat many diseases, such as children's malaria, cholera and cramps, and can also be used as a bath soup.

This is heavy, a full basket can weigh dozens of kilograms. In comparison, Lin Ting still chose calamus.

After taking the sickle from Yang Xiuxiu, Lin Ting rolled up his trouser legs and went down to the river carrying a backpack.

He put the backpack and sickle aside, bent down and pulled out the calamus from the river with all his strength.

Acorus is mostly attached to stones and can be easily pulled out with a pull.

Moreover, these are quite old, and the rhizomes are very large and thick.

While pulling, Lin Ting used a sickle to cut off the leek-like plants on top, leaving only the roots and stems in the backpack.

In just the time it takes to stick up an incense stick, she had filled half the basket.

Yang Xiuxiu stretched her head to look at her, only to see the water plants in the Bala River with her smiling face.

Yang Xiuxiu shook her head. As long as Lin Ting was willing to stay and take care of Wan Yi and Qing Zhou, she would let her do whatever she wanted.

Half an hour later, Lin Ting's backpack was full, but there were still lush green calamus on both sides of the river. If he could sell them, he would have to come back to harvest them next time.

She picked up the sickle and stood up with the basket on her back.

There were about seventy or eighty pieces of raw calamus in the backpack. She couldn't even lift it when she tried to carry it.

Lin Ting complained in his heart, he was indeed a person who had not worked for many years and could not even carry such a small thing.

After gritting his teeth, Lin Ting still carried the child with difficulty, walked up the ditch, and came to Shen Wanyi's side.

"Look, Mom, Xiaobao has harvested so many grass seeds."

Lin Ting put down the backpack, took the cloth bag from Shen Wanyi's hand and opened it. There were about two kilograms of plantain seeds inside.

Shen Wanyi's two little hands turned green from collecting plantain seeds.

"Xiaobao is really awesome. When grandma comes, we'll go home."

"Yeah! There's still a lot over there. Xiaobao wants to play with this grass."

Shen Wanyi didn't understand anything. She only knew that plantain was fun and there were a lot of plantain seeds if you dug them up.

And since her mother asked her to do this, she was even more willing to do it.

"Okay! Mommy will pick this with you and wait for grandma to come back."

"Ok!"

Shen Wanyi nodded vigorously and said "hmm", which was extremely cute.

When Yang Xiuxiu came back, there was half a basket of water celery in the basket, and the quality was not very good.

"Xiaobao, Lin Ting, it's getting dark, let's go back."

Yang Xiuxiu walked over to the two of them and saw that they were asking for grass seeds and had gotten a basket of water plants. These things couldn't fill their stomachs, so what was the point of having them?

"Lin Ting, we usually use these water plants as spices. You got so many, what are you going to do with them?"

Calamus has a pleasant aroma and can indeed be used as a spice in cooking, but it is not suitable for all dishes.

"This is not called water grass, its name is calamus, a medicinal herb in Shennong's Herbal Classic.

I made these and thought I’d take them to the county tomorrow to see if I could sell them.”

"Is this a medicinal herb? This is what grows along the river, and I don't see anyone using it. How can it be an herb?"

Yang Xiuxiu didn't understand, but she didn't know much about Lin Tinghui either.

After all, Lin Ting came here to escape famine seven or eight years ago. She only has one sister. After coming to her house, she did nothing. She really didn't know what Lin Ting could and could not do.

"Stop talking, let's go home!"

No matter how much he said, Yang Xiuxiu wouldn't understand. Lin Ting didn't know whether he could sell these things. He would tell her after he sold them.

"Okay! I'll help you carry this calamus...this waterweed, and you take the basket."

Yang Xiuxiu saw that Lin Ting never worked, and she didn't know if he could carry so many things home, so she decided to do it herself.

"This is very heavy, I can carry it, mother-in-law!"

"Your body is too tender. I have plenty of strength. Stop talking and go home."

Yang Xiuxiu walked past Lin Ting, took Shen Wanyi's hand and walked in front of her.

Looking at the old man and the child in front of her, Lin Ting once again felt the love of her family.

Her master in her previous life adopted her and taught her all his medical skills, but her parents were no longer around and she had not yet taken him to enjoy the outside world.

The old man left, leaving her an orphan, then a family, and then an orphan again.

God has been kind to her. She never expected that she would feel at home here again.

In the evening, Lin Ting took the initiative to cook. The staple food was still broken rice and wild vegetable porridge. She blanched the remaining water celery in boiling water and made a cold dish.

Yang Xiuxiu grows her own ginger and garlic, and adds a little wild onion. Since there is no salt, she can only add some dogwood to make the taste spicier and stronger.

Edible, but not tasty.

Before going to bed, Yang Xiuxiu pulled Shen Wanyi to her side. She liked Lin Ting very much today. She was no longer afraid or sloppy.

"Lin Ting, let Xiaobao sleep in our room tonight. You and Qingzhou haven't been together for a long time.

Now that we've separated, there's not much work to do in the fields. If you have another son, I promise I'll have time to help you raise him and won't burden you."
