Brother Song wrung his hands anxiously: "What you're saying isn't worth much, it's not enough to scrape together two hundred yuan worth of vegetables."

Chen Hong laughed: "Brother, you're too honest! These free-range chickens are nothing special in your rural area, but they're worth a lot of money in the city."
A live chicken this big would cost at least thirteen or fourteen yuan per pound. This chicken alone is worth over a hundred yuan, not to mention you cooked it!
These wild vegetables are everywhere in the fields and countryside, but in the city, after being cleaned, they can sell for seven or eight yuan per kilogram.
Don't mention refunds anymore, just do as I say! I also come from the countryside, and I know how hard it is to dig for wild vegetables.
The wild vegetables are still small; it takes a whole morning to gather seven or eight pounds. If it were paid by the hour, these wild vegetables would be incredibly expensive.
At first, Grandma Fan didn't understand why Chen Hong wouldn't let them return the money, and thought she was just being extravagant because she had money!
After hearing Chen Hong's words, she realized that Chen Hong also came from a farming background and understood the hardships farmers faced.
He also spoke up to Sister Song, saying, "Little Chen is right, let's cook wild vegetables!"
We also got to try the first wild vegetables of the year, thanks to Xiao Chen!
When it comes to cooking wild vegetables, you really have to be a country person!
Sister-in-law Song made three dishes using only toon sprouts: fried toon sprouts, stir-fried toon sprouts with eggs, and cold tofu salad with toon sprigs.
I steamed small tofu and cornbread with elm seeds, and also used elm seeds as filling to make two large plates of dumplings for Chen Hong and the others.
Not only were bitter greens and dandelion used to make a dipping sauce, but they were also used to make a dandelion and mushroom soup.
In the end, the two adults and two children were stuffed, and there was still more than half of the food left.
