Xianyuyu has been busy lately, his work spree surging. There's an abundance of wild vegetables in the mountains, and the picking team earns a ton of work points every day. The picking team isn't just for men; women who aren't good at manual labor often join. If you can't pick wild vegetables, how about eating them? You're only good at eating them, right?
Dandelions, cricket greens, Maning vegetables, garlic chives, ash greens, beets, and more—all of these vegetables are hard to find these days, but this one is organic, pesticide-free. Because of the positive customer feedback, their wild vegetables command exceptionally high prices on Xianyuyu, with some selling for over 30 yuan per pound.
Maning vegetables are the most expensive and sell the best, and people set alarms every day to grab them. The reason is that Shuishui filmed a video of Professor Dong cooking Maning vegetables.
There are many ways to eat Maning cuisine, the most common being salad dressing and soup. For a salad dressing, simply stir-fry the vegetables, then add a generous amount of minced garlic, preferably the kind you'd crush into a sticky paste using a garlic jar. Add a pinch of salt, light soy sauce or seafood sauce, and vinegar, and finally a drizzle of sesame oil. Stir, and you're good to go!
To make the soup, stir-fry dried shrimp in a pot, then add chopped Maningcai (Spinach). Stir-fry, then add pre-boiled hot water. Once the water boils, pour in the pre-mixed batter, making sure the soup isn't too watery. Then, add one or two beaten eggs. Finally, add a pinch of salt, sesame oil, and MSG, and serve. (I love this soup. My mom always made it for me when I was little. Maningcai is very good for the stomach. If you have this dish at home, you can try making it. It's really good for your health.)
This video shows the entire process of making Maning vegetable soup, sped up, of course. Because of this video, Maning vegetables sell out every afternoon. They also sell dried shrimp as part of the soup. Initially, we only sold wild vegetables and didn't think of making them into portioned dishes. It was Mouse Loves Rice that came up with the idea.
The wild vegetables and dried shrimps for stir-frying are packaged in portions, which helps to increase sales. The product has received rave reviews, such as one where a child had diarrhea and was given no medicine or navel patches, but only drank Maning vegetable soup, and recovered overnight.
There were so many comments and messages, and since then it has been sold out every time it is put on the shelves.
As living conditions improved and kitchen waste became available, some families in the village began raising chickens. Professor Dong pre-ordered their free-range eggs. These weren't farm-raised chickens, but genuine, locally grown, uncut eggs. This income was the family's personal income, not the production team's. Those with children diligently fed insects to the chickens every day, hoping they'd lay a few more eggs. Each egg could be exchanged for three White Rabbit candies!
There are also various mountain products, Chinese herbal medicines, etc. dug from the mountains. As long as they can be sold for money, the villagers will not let them go.
They make pickles, jams, canned wild fruits, hand-weave, and harvest wild vegetables in the mountains. All the proceeds from sales are converted directly into work points. At the end of each month, the brigade settles the work points, which are then exchanged for food or daily necessities. Of course, all these necessities are bought on Taobao, and at today's prices, they're surprisingly affordable. It's fair to say that the villagers are now living a much better life, no longer struggling to make ends meet.
