Driving a mule cart is faster than walking. Yun the butcher drove the mule cart for more than ten minutes and arrived at the destination.

"Dad, leave someone to watch the mule cart. I'll take you to the rock pond."

Butcher Yun looked around and said, "Zirui, you stay and watch the mule cart. We'll take over later."

"Brother Zirui, there are wild vegetables around the stone pond. Big brother and the others have to go up there to get water and dig wild vegetables."

"I'll take Dad to the stone pond and then come back to be with you. Don't be afraid."

"Besides, the rock pond is not far from the official road. You can see us if we stand on it. If anyone comes, just shout for us."

Xie Zirui was silent for a moment, "Yiyi, have you forgotten that I know martial arts? You should hurry up and go up the mountain now."

Butcher Yun patted Xie Zirui on the shoulder and followed Yun Yiyi's footsteps to climb up the mountain.

Yun Yiyi was very fast. It didn't take long for her to lead Yun the Butcher and the others to Shitan.

Butcher Yun looked at the clear water in the pool and laughed heartily.

Brother Yun put down the basket, picked up the bucket and filled it half full with water.

"Dad, it's so hot, do you want to wash your face?"

This word woke everyone up, and Yun the Butcher and his companions used the spring water to water the trees while others washed their faces. The spring water was icy cold, and after washing their faces, the heat was gone.

"Yiyi, the water in this pond is so clean."

"I just touched the bottom of the pond with my hand, and it's made of rocks. We can just use buckets to get water later, and the water won't be turbid."

"The spring water flows at a reasonable rate, and the stored water is enough for us to use."

"Yiyi's luck is incredible."

"Dad, you and the eldest brother carry the water, and I'll take the second and third brothers to where there are more wild vegetables."

Butcher Yun waved his hand casually, "Go ahead, Yiyi, your brother and I are going to start carrying water."

So, Yun Yiyi took her second and third brothers to see the wild vegetables.

“Second brother, third brother, there are more shepherd’s purse on this small patch.”

"Second brother, third brother, there are a lot of gray vegetables here."

"Second brother, third brother, there are a lot of wild celery over here, right next to where the spring water flows down."

Yun Erge and Yun Erge, with excitement on their faces, followed Yun Yiyi to see the places with abundant wild vegetables, and their hearts were already calm.

It seems that after following Yiyi into the mountains, everyone can lie down.

"Second brother, third brother, you two go dig other wild vegetables first. Brother Zirui and I will come up and pick some wild celery later."

"Wild celery is easy to break, I love picking it. I guess Brother Zirui likes it too."

Brother Yun smiled and said, "Okay, Yiyi, go to the car downstairs and rest for a while."

Third Brother Yun also said, "Yes, Yiyi. When my second brother and I finish digging wild vegetables, we will come and help you pick wild celery."

"Second brother, third brother, I'm going down the mountain."

"Go ahead."

Yun Yiyi went down the mountain to rest.

Second Brother Yun and Third Brother Yun went to dig wild vegetables.

Butcher Yun and Brother Yun were busy carrying water.

It took nearly an hour for Yun the Butcher and Brother Yun to fill the three water tanks.

Butcher Yun drove a mule cart back to deliver water. Brother Yun took Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui back to the mountain.

"Big brother, go help second brother dig wild vegetables. We'll pick wild celery here."

Brother Yun looked at the clumps of wild celery beside the stream and estimated that there were enough for the two children to pick for a while.

"Okay, take your time, both of you. Don't worry. I'll come and help you later."

"Got it, big brother."

Brother Yun continued to climb up the mountain.

Yun Yiyi began to pick wild celery, which grew lushly near the stream, its leaves emerald green.

Yun Yiyi picked one and found that the wild celery was not old yet, so now was the right time to eat it.

Wild celery tastes better than homegrown celery. It also has a stronger flavor. However, few villagers grow celery.

If people want to eat it, they go to the mountains to look for it. There are plenty of wild vegetables like this in the mountains.

If we hadn't escaped the famine, we wouldn't have lacked food.

Xie Zirui has already learned the skills to dig various wild vegetables, and picking wild celery is no problem at all.

He followed Yun Yiyi's example and tied the wild celery into bundles and placed them on the grass next to him.

In a short while, the two of them had picked a lot of wild celery.

Yun Yiyi looked at the small piece of wild celery that had not been broken yet and pounded her waist. Too many wild vegetables are also a happy trouble.

However, since we have discovered wild vegetables, we must take them all home.

Yun Yiyi sighed and continued with what she was doing.

Butcher Yun's voice suddenly rang out, "Yiyi, your mother brought you some jujube cakes she made. You and Zirui should wash your hands and come and eat them later."

Yun Yiyi looked up in surprise, "Dad, when did you and Mom make the jujube cake? How come I didn't know about it?"

"I made it yesterday, but I got so busy that I forgot to tell you."

Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui, holding wild celery in their hands, went to the mountain.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, come and have a rest. Your mother brought you some delicious food."

"Here I come, Dad."

Yun Yiyi and the others washed their hands and sat aside to look at the small jar in Yun the Butcher's hand.

Butcher Yun opened the small jar and handed each person a piece of jujube cake.

Yun Yiyi happily took the jujube cake and started to eat it. It tasted exactly as she remembered, with the sweetness of jujube and the fragrance of peanuts mixed together, which was very delicious.

Xie Zirui looked at the ugly-colored jujube cake in his hand and was a little hesitant. Could this gray thing be eaten?

Yun Yiyi saw Xie Zirui's hesitation and said, "Brother Zirui, even though the color is not good, the taste is good. You can try it."

Xie Zirui put the jujube cake into his mouth. It was very fragrant, with the taste of jujube and the aroma of peanuts. It was surprisingly delicious.

Butcher Yun gave everyone two pieces of jujube cakes, and the small jar was empty.

"Dad, this jujube cake is delicious, but it's too troublesome to make. Otherwise, I really could make more."

Listening to Yun Yiyi's complaints, Yun the Butcher smiled and said, "Yiyi, your mother made a lot this time, enough for you to eat several times."

"After we finish eating, we still have ingredients and can continue cooking."

"Dad, I guess this is the only time we'll make wild jujube cakes this year. The weather's getting colder, and there won't be any wild jujubes left in the mountains. We won't be able to eat them even if we want to."

Butcher Yun stroked Third Brother Yun's hair and said, "These mountain things are only harvested once a year."

"If you use purchased red dates, the taste will always be a little worse than that made with sour dates."

"Dad, it's good to eat food from the mountains once a year. Besides, there are so many delicious things in the mountains. If we can't find them, we won't be able to eat them.

"Third brother, when we get back, I'll treat everyone to some wild pears. I picked some from that crooked pear tree down below."

"Although it's not big, it tastes good. It's sweet and crispy, very delicious. Don't doubt me, I've tasted it for you."

After hearing Yun Yiyi's words, everyone burst into laughter.
