"Girl, Grandpa has spent so much time and energy, and now I am a little exhausted."

Looking at the small and delicate Artemisia balls that Qing Ning brought out, my appetite was aroused.

Qing Ning smiled sweetly at him and then went into the kitchen.

"I was going to give you a slap on the lips at lunch, and now is the perfect time. You've been tired, so how about trying this mugwort dumpling first?"

Qing Ning put some on a small plate and handed it to Mr. Ma.

Mr. Ma took it happily and picked up a piece.

As soon as I took a bite, I said, "Hmm~ Not bad, fragrant and soft. Although the filling is a bit bland, I think the taste of the Artemisia annua is just right."

Then he handed the plates to the boys next to him.

A few people thanked him and picked up a piece each.

Seeing that they were enjoying the snack, Qing Ning asked, "Mr. Ma, do you think the people in town will like this snack?"

When Mr. Ma heard her ask this, he put down his teacup.

"This snack tastes really good and looks exquisite. This mugwort ball is my first time eating it, and it's fresh, so it must be good!"

"Who made this dim sum? He's so skilled, he's on par with the dim sum chef at Fanhualou in Shangjing!"

Several people couldn't hide their joy, they were sure that they would have no trouble selling it.

The boys really yearned to go to Beijing.

"Mr. Ma, have you ever been to Shangjing? Is it very prosperous there?"

"Yes, I have. I spent some time there when I was traveling."

"Also, stop calling me Mr. Ma. I like you calling me Grandpa."

It’s better to call it another way to sound more friendly.

Several people shook their heads. Qing Wu said, "Mr. Ma, you and my father are brothers, and you asked us to call him grandpa. This will not mess up the generations."

Isn't this taking advantage of your own father?

"Really? What's the point of having different opinions?"

Mr. Ma was obviously embarrassed, and apparently he had forgotten about this.

"Okay, let's just call you grandpa."

Qing Ning was very obedient and changed her words immediately.

"Grandpa Ma, this is made by my eldest sister. She's quite skillful and can make other things too. We made this to try to sell during the Qingming Festival, but we've never done business before and don't know how to price this snack or where to sell it. Could you please give us some advice, as you've seen the market?"

Looking at the small one before, [Hey, this little baby is really smart. 】

"Okay, you'll only sell this tomorrow?"

"No, there are also bamboo fungus, shiitake mushrooms, and some spring game."

"Um, I'm a little hungry. How about we talk more after dinner?"

"I'm really tired today. I feel a little dizzy. I'm getting old and useless. If I had some nourishing food, I'd feel much better."

Qing Ning's mouth twitched when she heard this, and she felt helpless.

"Grandpa Ma, you take a rest. We'll go cook."

After saying that, he prepared to go to the kitchen. There were only some wild vegetables for lunch, and there seemed to be nothing else.

He caught a glimpse of the prey on the ground out of the corner of his eye, looked at Yu Shi, and said nothing more.

[The owner is still unconscious, so it's inappropriate to take anything casually.]

Seeing her embarrassment, Mr. Ma knew that there might be no vegetables at home.

"Girl, take the prey. You saved his life, isn't it worth this little prey?"

"When he wakes up later, he won't say anything. If he says no, I'll ask his father to pay the ransom."

"kindness?"

"Grandpa Ma, do you know him?"

Several people looked at him curiously.

"More than just knowing him, the old man in his family is a shameless person. Don't mention him, just take it."

After saying that, he gave Yu Shi, who was ignorant of the world, a look of disdain.

When I saw that the injured person was this kid, I thought he was lucky to meet the Chen family, otherwise he would have confessed. There was nothing wrong with eating a few of his prey.

"Then I'll take it."

Without hesitation, he took a rabbit and a few wild pigeons.

"Brother, you take care of these prey."

She dares to eat, but she doesn't dare to kill!

"Okay, no problem, leave it to me."

As he said this, he took the prey to the corner of the yard to process it, and Qingzhu also came to help.

"Qingbai, go to the forest and call Grandma and the others back. She might be anxious because she can't wait for us."

Qingsong kept moving his hands and asked his brother to call someone home.

"Okay, brother, I'll go right away."

Before he could finish his words, he ran a few meters away.

The brown rice in the pot is almost done. I stir-fry some wild vegetables, stew rabbit meat with spring bamboo shoots, and save the pigeons to make soup for the uncle.

"Sister, can you lend me the stove at home to make some soup?"

Qingke boiled the medicine and watched the fire carefully. "Go get it from my house."

Two stoves were brought over, one for stewing pigeon soup and the other for stewing rabbit meat.

I grabbed a few handfuls of dried bamboo shoots and soaked them in clean water.

I went to the backyard to pick some vegetable sprouts, cut some leeks and found two eggs.

"Little sister, the rabbit is ready. I'll chop it up for you and put it here."

Qingsong carried the processed rabbit into the kitchen, put it on the chopping board and started chopping the meat.

"Brother, chop the meat into smaller pieces so it cooks better."

Qing Ning was handling the freshly picked vegetables and giving instructions without even looking up.

Soon Qingzhu finished cleaning the pigeons. "Sister, are we going to stew these pigeons right away?"

"Second sister, stew three. Five is too many. Put the other two aside first and cut the pigeon into larger pieces."

Qingzhu chopped the pigeon according to his sister's instructions, and then went to light the fire in the stove.

"Little sister, do you want this pigeon to get some hot water too?"

Qingzhu asked as he put water into the pot.

"Yes, sister. Rinse it with hot water and the soup will be clear and have no fishy smell. Remember to add wine and ginger to it."

Qingzhu wrote down the request, covered the pot and started working.

"Hello Mr. Ma, is that the person you rescued today?"

Old Mrs. Chen walked into the yard, greeted Mr. Ma, and pointed at Yu Shi who was lying there and asked.

On the way back, Qingbai told them what happened this morning.

"Hello, old lady. Yes, these children are really amazing. Well done."

Mr. Ma gave sincere praise.

"Not worthy of the title"

Tan took the backpack from her mother-in-law and placed it in the shade.

"Grandma, Mom, and Auntie, you're back? How was your harvest today? Lunch is a little late, so we have to wait."

Qing Ning put down the work in her hands and ran over to see their morning results.

There are quite a lot, including bamboo fungus, shiitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, young bamboo shoots, wormwood and some other fungi.

"Qingning, come and see what Auntie found?"

Li smiled and waved at Qingning, taking out a package from the basket.

"What aunt?"

Qing Ning came forward curiously

"Mom, what good stuff? Let me see it too."

Qingbai also ran forward immediately and stared at what was in Li's hand.

Mrs. Li gave her son a funny look, and when she opened the leaves in her hand, she found that they were actually wild strawberry fruits, which were bright red and very tempting.

I pinched a lime and put it in my mouth. It was sour, sweet and refreshing. It was the first bite of fruit I had in such a long time. I almost cried.

“Wash before eating”

Tan was sorting out the wild goods she had picked today, and looked up at the greedy look of the child, feeling both sad and amused.

Qingning smiled foolishly at Mrs. Tan, thanked Mrs. Li, and then took the wild strawberries to wash them, put them in a bowl, and placed them on the table in the yard for everyone to eat together.
