Chapter 102: Pick up, pick up, she picked up as hard as she could!

Shen Qing thought of Leigong Mushroom - in many places it is called ground fungus, lichen, wild fungus and celestial vegetable, and in Qili Village it is called ground skin vegetable. It grows in the natural and pollution-free wild. It will reproduce in large numbers after rain, especially in summer. Now Yangcheng has had a lot of rain for several days, and it is normal for it to rain heavily.

"Mom, there are so many ground vegetables! More than in our Qili Village!" Jiang Shui shouted excitedly to Shen Qing, then immediately squatted down with a bamboo basket and started picking them up.

It’s so satisfying to pick up big flowers.

Shen Qing had been trapped in a small, cramped shed for several days. When the weather finally cleared up, he saw a box full of free food. How could he not be excited?

Especially since 'free', 'wild' and 'nutritious' things flow in the blood of the Chinese people, Shen Qing seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up. He put down the bamboo basket and picked up the fruits with both hands, muttering to himself as he picked them up: "This is good stuff."

Not only is the protein content extremely high, it also contains rich minerals and vitamins such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc., providing the human body with a variety of nutrients at the same time;

In addition to being eaten, it can also clear away heat and reduce fire, reduce fat and improve eyesight. It is an ingredient that can be used as both medicine and food!

It is perfect for consumption in hot summer.

If nothing unexpected happens in winter, living in the north where people heat kangs, ground ivy is more suitable for reducing heat. She picks it up, picks it up, she picks it up hard!

Jiang Yu thought Shen Qing felt that the vegetables had been filled, so he smiled and said, "Yes, there are only a few vegetables left that we brought, and the ground vegetables are just the right supplement. We can have fresh vegetables to eat again."

The vegetables she brought were eaten for several days. Even if it rained in summer, the weather was still hot, and they could not be kept for too many days without being eaten. She was originally worried that the rain would not stop and she would have to eat the stored dried vegetables. Unexpectedly, when the rain stopped, there were still so many ground vegetables, so she didn't have to use the stored vegetables.

"Not only will we not have to worry about fresh vegetables these days, but we can also dry the leftovers and soak them in water when there are no vegetables in the winter. This will also add a fresh dish to the table." Guan Li picked up a large piece of ground vegetable, shook off the dirt underneath, and joined the conversation.

Shen Qing thought that this way of eating it was similar to eating black fungus.

However, since they are both types of mushrooms, it is normal that their nutrition and eating methods are similar.

She said happily, "It's delicious, but it's too hard to wash!"

I remember that when I was a child, it was very enjoyable to pick up the trash, but it was a pain to wash it. You couldn’t even think of washing it clean after two or three times. It would take at least seven or eight times.

The more satisfying it is to pick them up, the more I want to cry when I wash them.

"Sister-in-law, the water in the river and stream is rising rapidly now. Can we put them in a bamboo basket or a ground trap, rinse them a few times first, and then fish them out so that we can wash them carefully?" Jiang Yu thought for a while and asked.

The other three people's eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay, otherwise we won't have time to wash if we don't eat or sleep!"

"I think so."

"Leave it to the third and fourth brothers! It won't delay us from picking ground vegetables." Shen Qing made the decision.

Picking up wild vegetables gives a sense of accomplishment, but few people like to pick them up - she is one of them.

The men in the family come in handy.

The weather finally cleared up, and after eating several simple meals of vegetable porridge, Shen Qing decided to cook some fresh dishes.

Ground vegetables are essential.

Blanch the washed ground vegetables in boiling water first so that there will be no unpleasant smell after cooking.

Put half of it into a ceramic pot, add water and boil it. When the water boils, beat in the beaten egg liquid. Add salt and a spoonful of lard before serving. The ground vegetable egg drop soup is ready.

Sauté the other half with sliced ​​cucumber.

Ground ivy is a cold vegetable and women should not eat too much during menstruation or breastfeeding. Shen Qing stewed lentils with smoked meat. The portion was large enough and she stewed half a pot.

Also, chop up a small amount of lard and small wild onions that were accidentally discovered, put them into the kneaded dough, wrap them up, press them into a flat shape, and bake them into lard and wild onion flour pancakes.

A dinner with meat, soup and pancakes can be prepared quickly.

As for Jiang Xiangnan and Jiang Xiangbei's plan to catch fish for a snack, they naturally didn't see any fish. The rain ahead was too heavy, the rivers and streams were too full, and the water flow was ridiculously fast. It took them a long time to find a slightly flatter section of the river to put in their fishing net.

I didn't dare put the trap because I was afraid it would be washed away by the current and I wouldn't be able to find it.

But it was just the right time to free up some people and use a trap to wash the ground vegetables.

After dinner, they went to collect the fishing nets. They didn't catch any big fish, but unexpectedly caught several wild crucian carps the size of a palm. Shen Qing kept them in a bucket and prepared to make crucian carp soup for Huo Bing the next day to nourish his body.

The rain stopped and everyone no longer had to squeeze into the shed. Shen Qing slept in her own small carriage at night. The weather was a little cooler after the heavy rain and no longer as stuffy as before. After a simple wash, she slept comfortably.

*

Compared to the tranquility and peace on Shen Qing's side, Qili Village has been in chaos and noise for several days!

"Village chief, you are the village chief of our Qili Village, how can you not care about our village?" Sun Xiaomai cried while wiping her tears.

"Abandoning the village and fleeing, I absolutely disagree! I would rather die in the village!" Wang Fugui had a heartbroken expression on his face, and vowed to live and die with the village.

Several children of the Wang family surrounded their parents, looking at Jiang Erye and others as if they were traitors.

Zhao Mingyue was the first to lose patience and shouted back, "After the flood receded, you saw the devastating state of the fields. The fertile soil had been washed away, and it was impossible to grow crops!

More importantly, we won’t be able to grow crops for at least ten years. If we don’t leave and stay in Qili Village, what will we eat and drink?

Feng Meng shouted in a rough voice: "The house has collapsed. Whether we stay in the village or go to other places, we have to rebuild the house. We might as well go out and try our luck!

As the saying goes, if a tree is moved, it will die, but if we move, we will live. If we stay in Qili Village, we will be dead. If we go out, we may have a chance of survival."

"It's so easy for you to say. Your Feng family is an outsider and doesn't have much land. Of course you can just leave. But we are native locals. How can we just abandon our family business?" Sun Xiaomai said indignantly.

Zhou Chuncao rolled his eyes and agreed loudly, "Yes, you didn't even plant the fields this time, so the losses are minimal. It's really easy to talk without any pain in your back!"

Feng Meng's face, covered with flesh, was filled with confusion.

No, what does this have to do with him being an outsider and the small loss he suffered?

Isn’t the discussion about whether people can survive in the village and whether they should flee from famine?

Seeing their cousin being criticized, Feng Xing and Feng Tao stepped forward and chimed in, "What's the matter? Who laughed at us for not knowing how to farm? And who laughed at us for wanting to starve to death?"

We don't farm, you laugh at us, but we didn't say a single harsh word when your rice seedlings were washed away! Now my eldest brother is speaking to you in a nice way. If you listen, fine. If you don't, it doesn't matter. Our Feng family will go first!"

"Yes, anyway, we have little land and little food, but we have plenty of strength and means. Ha, are we worried about not being able to form a team on the road to escape the famine?"

If it weren't for the village chief's face, and if it weren't for the fact that other families in the village were so nice, they wouldn't have spoken so nicely to the Wang and Zhang families!
