Chapter 91 Chapter 91 Purple Vetch
The Du family was in chaos for a while.
The three children who used to love running errands couldn't be called now. When asked to call their aunt and their biological father, the three children shook their heads frantically: "No, no!"
I want to eat meat!
The mutton was cooked for a long time and was extremely soft and tender, which their teeth could easily chew. There was no excessive seasoning, and they tasted the most fresh and sweet meat aroma. They then took a sip of the slightly salty soup sprinkled with a little pepper, and sipped the noodles soaked in the soup. The children ate without even looking up.
I can't bear to give up!
So the eldest and second oldest had to play rock-paper-scissors.
Finally, the second one lost and quickly ran up to yell, "Bang, bang, bang!"
“Bang, bang, bang!”
It took several knocks to finally wake up the third child who loved to sleep in: "What are you doing? It's 5:30 in the morning, are you sick?!"
Second brother: "We are all having mutton noodle soup, are you sure you don't want to come?"
The third child: "What mutton noodles? I don't like it--" He stopped talking halfway, thinking about the stewed mutton his mother suggested last night to treat the relatives. They got so much mutton, but he never ate it once because he knew how delicious it would be. He was afraid that he couldn't resist and would have nothing good to serve to the relatives when they came.
Um, what else is in your refrigerator?
After having tasted Boss Jiang’s food, they no longer think highly of it.
The thought flashed through his mind, and the third brother instantly went from a sleep-deprived, furious state to a clear-eyed, joyful expression. "Ahhh! I'll be right down!"
The second brother heard it and said: "Hahaha, OK, I'll go call your brother-in-law."
Then he went to the other side and knocked on the door.
This time it went much smoother.
Then he went back to eat without stopping. "This is the first time I've discovered how delicious noodles are! Aunt Li, you're a genius! You thought of cooking noodles!"
Aunt Li smiled and brought over two more servings of mutton noodle soup. They were equally large, with plenty of mutton and radish, but not too many noodles. The rest was just a generous portion of soup. "I'm glad you like it. I was just worried you might not like it."
"I like it! I like it very much!" The third brother's clear voice came from upstairs. After he finished speaking, he came to the dining table and took a sip of soup before he sat down.
"Slurp~"
tasty!
So delicious!
It was worth getting up early.
The Du family had a delicious breakfast. It was not yet six o'clock, but they were full and not sleepy at all. They just sat or lay on the sofa in the living room to rest and wait for the guests to arrive.
The Du family has many relatives, and they agreed to come over the day before the Spring Festival, mainly for Du Guili.
The doctors said her condition was getting worse and she was about to enter the late stage.
There is currently no cure, and the only option is to prolong survival as much as possible.
After she confirmed it, the relatives would try their best to get together for a meal around the New Year on major holidays every year, no matter where they were.
This year is no exception.
*
The first to arrive were Du Guili's sister and her family. Du Guili's sister was ten years older than her, but in good health. She had always looked about the same age as Du Guili after she fell ill. This time, as soon as she got off the car, Du Guili saw her sister with rosy cheeks and clear eyes. Her heart full of longing turned into a question: "What magic medicine did you take?!"
This look is completely different from before!
Even though they were video chatting, she could only see through the screen that her sister had gained a little weight.
But unexpectedly, the real person suddenly became many years younger.
If the two of them go out now, no one will mistake them for people of the same age.
Du Guili laughed heartily: "Hahahaha... It's not a panacea. Didn't I tell you I went on vacation to a beautiful place with clear water and mountains? The environment there is great, and my health will naturally get better."
He spoke a long string of words, his voice still steady.
If it weren't for the frosted texture in his throat caused by years of coughing, he would be no different from an ordinary person.
It looks full of energy.
Sister Du's eyes suddenly turned red: "Is it really okay?!"
When Sister Du's children got out of the car and saw her, they all exclaimed, "Auntie, you look so much younger!"
"Oh my god, is Jiangjia Village really that magical?"
"Auntie, are you okay?!"
Du Guili: "...It's not completely healed, but it's much better, really!"
She pulled her sister and said, "Let's go in first. It's cold outside."
Sister Du nodded repeatedly, but her eyes were fixed on her sister's face as she entered, unwilling to look away for a moment: "You really look a lot younger, your skin is so fair, and your face has color. Oh, let me see, your eyes are bright!"
Du Guili let her look at her: "I told you I'm fine, right? You didn't believe me when I video-called you before."
Before, the two sisters often video-called each other, not only with the eldest sister, but also with other relatives. The relatives were worried about her health, so when she got better, she would naturally inform them as soon as possible. However, no one believed her, so she had been looking forward to this day, because seeing it with her own eyes would be more meaningful than anything else.
Sister Du murmured in a daze: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes before, you have changed so much..."
Currently, medicine cannot cure lung cancer. If Du Guili was not rich and could not take the best medicine and use the best medical methods, ordinary people’s graves would probably have tall grass growing on them.
It is simply alarmist to say that living outside for a period of time can suppress the disease or even improve it.
But at this moment, she believed it!
Du Guili smiled and pulled her, "Sister, after the New Year, why don't you come live with me for a while? You're in better health than me, but you're not young anymore. You don't have many major ailments, so you can go there for a vacation and rest for a while."
Sister Du quickly shook her head: "No, no, I still have children at home to take care of. What's a minor problem? It's nothing serious."
Then, as he entered the house, he smelled a pleasant fragrance and subconsciously took a deep breath: "What is this smell?"
Du Guili said loudly, "Sister Li, the mutton soup can be served."
"Coming." Sister Li responded loudly.
"This is the mutton I bought from there. I stewed it for a long time. You should try it. It's really delicious." Du Guili recommended enthusiastically and sent the person to the dining table.
Even though she was full, she couldn't help but salivate at the aroma.
The eldest brother and his family also invited cousins and nephews to sit over.
Sister Li quickly served each person a bowl of mutton soup.
This time there were no noodles, but it was filled with meat and radish. It was satisfying just by looking at it. The milky white soup exuded heat without being too heavy, which was very suitable for a winter morning. A group of people picked up their bowls and started eating without much greeting.
"This mutton is so delicious!" When one person ate the mutton, the soft and tender meat along with the broth touched her tongue, and her taste buds were immediately amazed. Her pupils widened and she let out an exclamation.
Following this sound, the others also buried their heads in their food: "Mmm! Slurp! Hiss... delicious!"
"Aunt, did you buy this mutton from Jiangjia Village? It's so delicious!"
"I really believe it. To be able to raise such delicious beef and mutton, isn't that place comparable to the grassland?!"
Du Guili and the others watched the family eat and all swallowed their saliva at the same time. The children could not help crying out for more food. The adults were afraid that they would get food poisoning, so they only gave each of them a small spoonful to share. Upon hearing this, they all said, "Yes, it was bought by Mom and the third child. It was so popular that we didn't get any!"
"Yes, I even asked a lot of employees to help me grab some pork, but we only managed to get a small amount of pork."
Du Guili reminded: "It's not just the mutton, their vegetables and fruits are also delicious, all of the same quality as the mutton. It's a pity that you are all abroad, otherwise we could express it to you so that you can try it too."
As soon as these words came out, Sister Du's children and grandchildren all froze in unison. The adults were fine, but the grandchildren immediately shouted, "Grandma, I don't want to go abroad anymore!"
"I still want to eat mutton! Grandma, can we not go back home for the New Year?"
“Foreign meat is not tasty at all!”
Sister Du, who had just rejected her sister, immediately said, "Okay, okay, okay, then we won't go back home during the New Year. Let's go eat delicious food with your aunt!"
Du Guili sighed, "I knew you couldn't handle it."
When she came back a few days ago, the huge changes in her appearance shocked all her neighbors and friends. Many of them said they would go on vacation with her next year.
Apart from anything else, her current complexion and skin condition alone are enough to make these people cry with envy.
She even felt that she was now the living signboard of Jiang's shop.
At this time, there was another roar of cars.
Du Guili happily went out to greet other guests.
——
On the Spring Festival
Jiang Heng, who had no idea that the "living signboard" was working hard to help promote the company, woke up early in the morning to the sound of lively firecrackers in the village.
There are a lot of firecrackers this year, even more than when the village was the most crowded and lively when she was a child.
In the early morning hours, a few firecrackers can be set off every once in a while, and when people get up at five or six to worship their ancestors, the sound of firecrackers can be heard continuously. Her family lives at the end of the village, but she can still hear the sound of firecrackers mixed with various New Year's blessings and greetings such as "Happy New Year".
Jiang Heng rarely practiced these past two days, but was preparing to spend her first New Year after returning seriously.
It’s been a long time.
Although the world of immortal cultivators also celebrates the New Year, and even because they often go into seclusion for cultivation, it always feels like years have passed in a short time, but that feeling is different from celebrating the New Year in this world.
There is a lack of a sense of belonging.
Therefore, she pays more attention to it today.
Last night was New Year's Eve.
I remember that on New Year's Eve, my parents would cook a bunch of delicious food while they stayed up all night, waiting to entertain guests on New Year's Day and in the following days. Jiang Heng also cooked a lot of food last night, and started to eat it as soon as she got up this morning.
When she got up, Little Stone got up too.
Now Xiao Shitou has successfully become her little assistant. The first thing he does every day when he gets up is to take the cats and dogs at home to work on the farm.
The livestock and poultry raised by Jiang Heng are rarely fed. In the past, it was mainly the pigs that needed to be fed, so even during the Chinese New Year, these guys would be let out for a walk.
She went to open the door in advance and left the rest to Xiao Shitou. The fences in places like the chicken coop and duck coop had been simply locked in recent days because her uncle had been resting and Zhan Hong and others had also been resting. Any clever dog could pry them open, not to mention Xiao Shitou.
Originally, she was thinking of spending three times the salary and begging her employees not to take leave.
Now that we have Xiao Shitou, we no longer need employees.
The little guy is full of energy and knows magic, so he can be a military advisor to the cats and dogs.
Huh?!
This seems to be the legendary dog-headed military advisor?!
The pigs had all been wiped out, leaving only two rams and four pregnant ewes, who had given birth in the past few days. Jiang Heng had specifically instructed them in advance: "Don't let the ewes out, just leave them in the yard. Let the rams out to play."
"Got it, boss!" Lei Lei saluted.
Jiang Heng: ...Did you catch up on the workplace drama last night?!
"Woof!" the dogs answered quickly.
Ali is in charge of guarding the door.
This guy is smart, runs fast, and can notify us immediately if anything unusual happens.
Although nothing has happened so far, the surveillance footage is there, and Jiang Heng is not someone to be trifled with. The owner of that account who was so terribly offended by thunder went to court more than a month ago and lost miserably. He had to pay a lot of money and even apologized once, hoping that Jiang Heng would let him go.
Jiang Heng didn't agree, but only agreed not to keep a penny of the compensation money herself, but to donate it all. This successfully angered the man to the point that he went crazy on his account, and he was reported and his account was blocked.
Therefore, most of the guests she met were very friendly.
After all, she is not well-known here now, and people who come here are willing to come only after knowing her specific situation.
The main animals that needed to be grazed were only chickens and ducks, so when the doors of the chicken and duck coops were opened, a large group of chickens rushed out, more than a hundred of them, which was quite spectacular. There were much fewer ducks, only a female duck, two drakes, and five geese swaying and flapping their wings.
Seeing that the chickens and ducks were in good condition, Jiang Heng hurried back to offer sacrifices to the ancestors while the furry children were away.
Caramel and Pudding eat spiritual food every day and are much smarter than ordinary cats and dogs, but they are still afraid of human firecrackers. They were scared when firecrackers were set off in the village last night.
At home, we basically just offer a simple worship and set off a few firecrackers.
Jiang Heng had prepared everything he needed last night, and now he just went through the motions. After setting off the firecrackers, he cleaned up the table and went to the kitchen to cook.
Everyone is resting, and she is the only one who is responsible for feeding the cats and dogs.
One egg at a time, and some meatballs, which were fried last night. They were crispy on the outside and fragrant on the inside, but unfortunately they were no longer crispy after a night. The dogs ate the boiled meatballs, and Jiang Heng put them in the oven to heat them up again.
Add another large portion of noodles.
While cooking the noodles, I took out a large bowl of braised eggs from the refrigerator.
They have a rule here. On New Year's Day, every household in the village who is relatively close will visit each other to wish each other a happy new year. Especially when children come, they always have to prepare some melon seeds, drinks, nuts, etc. It was okay in the past because there were fewer people, but this year there are more people, so they have to prepare more.
Jiang Heng rarely buys food outside. She would rather not eat than buy other people's highly processed food. What she has here are chestnuts that she had frozen before. Last night she made two flavors of them with coarse salt and honey. After that, she has melon seeds of various flavors, and a not-so-large amount of dried blueberries, dried strawberries, etc.
The quantity is still too small.
It just so happened that New Year's greetings here were concentrated in the early morning, so she specially kept the more than 60 eggs she picked up yesterday to make braised eggs, soaking them in brine overnight. At this moment, the flavor has been thoroughly permeated into them.
Reheat it and it becomes the familiar braised egg you see in breakfast shops.
The fragrance is just a little more intense.
After preparing all these, Jiang Heng's noodles were also cooked. She peeled the braised eggs for herself. The brine seeped through the broken eggshells, dyeing the eggs light brown, and the cracks in the middle formed darker and beautiful lines.
When you peel the egg, an alluring aroma of rich marinade mixed with the aroma of egg wafts out.
Smells so good!
It’s worthy of being the eggs she raised.
*
Jiang Heng now eats an egg every day, and eats it in different ways. Today she steamed the egg, yesterday she fried the egg, and tomorrow she boiled the egg. Her life is so wonderful, but she has never braised an egg herself. She ate some last night when it was being braised, but the marinade had not yet absorbed the flavor, so the taste was not good enough.
At this moment, you can tell that it is full of flavor.
One bite and the soft and tender egg white is full of the salty and fragrant taste of the braised food, which stimulates the secretion of saliva, as if it has opened the taste buds of appetite. The taste is really full and not too salty.
Jiang Heng took the second bite right after.
This bite contains the egg yolk, which is equally salty and fragrant, soft but not dry, and mixed with the egg white, tasting just right.
She didn't expect that the braised food she made was so successful. She could use the remaining braising liquid to stew some chicken feet and duck feet. Recently, she would keep these parts every time she ate chicken and duck, and deal with them together when a certain amount was accumulated.
This way you can eat grilled chicken wings, braised chicken feet, and braised duck feet from time to time.
Jiang Heng originally wanted to eat it with noodles, but she couldn't resist and took another bite. She finished the braised egg. When she looked up again, she saw a group of little guys standing beside her legs, all looking at her eagerly.
Jiang Heng poked the little stone, who was just like the cats and dogs, and said, "Why are you doing this? Leilei, didn't you say you can eat whatever you want at home?"
Lei Lei chuckled: "I'm learning them!"
The dogs tilted their heads, and when they saw Jiang Heng saw them but ignored them, they stretched out their claws to pull at her trouser legs anxiously: "Awoo~"
The Husky eagerly arched its head over.
Caramel pushed it away angrily and chose to put her head in her arms.
The Border Collie wagged its tail and whimpered coquettishly.
Pudding forced a smile and squinted his eyes: "Woof~~~"
Ahri rubbed against her legs.
Jiang Heng held his forehead with his hand: "Give it to me, give it to me, all of it!"
However, the salty taste of braised eggs is a bit too strong for cats and dogs, so Jiang Heng cut the braised eggs into two and ate half of each, so it was not a problem.
They don’t mind the size, as long as they can eat it.
Seeing that there were more fragrant braised eggs in their bowls, just like the ones their owner had, the little guys contentedly buried their heads in eating their breakfast. The stone man also sat on the plate holding an egg half the size of his body and peeling the shell. When he was halfway through peeling it, he couldn't help but take a big bite.
The stone mouth was no less powerful than a human's. It bit off a large piece of the egg, revealing the bright yolk inside. "Delicious! Even better than yesterday!"
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "So, are you still eating noodles?"
"No!" The stone man shook his head quickly. He had already eaten noodles and was not very interested in this, so he continued to gnaw on the braised egg.
The eggs are better than any I've ever eaten.
I'll ask the host to braise all the eggs for today later!
"Okay." Jiang Heng continued to eat the noodles and took two more bites of the meatballs that became crispy after being reheated. The pork he raised himself was so fresh and fragrant.
I'll raise a few more pigs when the new year starts.
hateful!
Why didn’t I think that the quality of the things I raise can be improved from a genetic perspective?!
If she had known this, she would not just buy the male pig.
After finishing breakfast while mumbling, Jiang Heng heard some noise outside.
Little Xiaoxiao, wearing a red down jacket, came skipping over and yelled from a distance, "Auntie! I'm here to wish you a happy new year! Happy New Year!"
Jiang Heng smiled and replied, "Happy New Year! I made braised eggs, they're delicious."
"Dengdengdeng~" The sound of running in the new little boots became much louder. Soon, a little girl with a smile on her face and a red mole on her forehead appeared: "I'm here! Grandma also made some braised dishes, they are delicious. Auntie, come to my house for lunch at noon?"
Jiang Heng smiled and refused: "No, I also made a lot of delicious food at home."
"Okay." Xiaoxiao gave up.
Jiang Heng handed her the braised egg: "It's a little hot, be careful."
"Yeah!" Xiaoxiao nodded and peeled the shell carefully.
Jiang Peng, who was walking slowly behind, came in and laughed: "You're eating it?"
Xiaoxiao grinned at Jiang Peng, with egg yolk stuck on his teeth, looking a bit dirty. Jiang Peng pretended to cover his eyes in disgust.
After chatting for a while, other children from the village also came over in groups.
Jiang Heng gave each child a braised egg and let them take the rest of the food themselves. Every child was very happy and ran away with the eggs. After a while, another group of children who heard the promotion came over to wish them a happy new year.
During the trip, Jiang Heng also took some time to visit his aunt and cousin to wish them a happy new year. He also received a bunch of melon seeds, drinks and nuts, which Jiang Heng brought back for Lei Lei to eat.
The child had never eaten these before and accepted them all.
I have very good teeth, and sometimes I can chew and swallow the nut shells, and then comment, "It tastes a bit weird."
Jiang Heng:?
——
I look forward to it all year long, but the actual New Year only happens in these few days.
Every family visits relatives.
Jiang Heng was busy with farm matters and couldn't visit relatives, so he could only wish them a happy new year online. It just so happened that their village was now somewhat famous, and it was the Spring Festival holiday, so relatives from surrounding villages would come to visit their village to wish them a happy new year. So the hardworking farmer started setting up his stall again on the second day of the Lunar New Year!
The big head is Chinese milk vetch.
The main farm is now really too shabby.
The 100 acres of radish fields that she had planted were all harvested before the Chinese New Year, setting a record for Jiang Heng's income. After deducting various packaging and express fees, she made a net profit of more than 4 million yuan.
Radishes are really very productive.
Especially the radishes she grew with her spiritual energy, each one was plump, white and heavy, and priced at thirty yuan per pound. This made Jiang Heng, who had just become penniless due to the construction of a warehouse and a farm, become rich overnight.
That was also the time when she sold the most items since she opened her online store!
She thought she wouldn't be able to sell out, but the potential customers were far more than she expected.
In the absence of purchase restrictions, one hundred acres of radishes were put on the shelves over seven days and were all sold out in less than half an hour. The number of fans of her store also increased to 500,000, and then... the farm was almost empty.
Other vegetables have to wait until the weather gets warmer before they can be planted. The earliest vegetable that can be harvested this year is probably strawberries, which are expected to be harvested around the end of February or early March. It is not possible now.
There are quite a lot of eggs. Her farm already has 102 hens, and they are all in the laying period. However, because some of the hens have just entered the laying period, the number of eggs that can be harvested every day is about 90. Together with about 30 duck eggs and one or two goose eggs, the harvest is abundant every day.
Jiang Heng specially bought a big basket at the vegetable market to hold the eggs.
Early in the morning, after letting the chickens and ducks out, I went to pick up eggs one by one.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, no one else was at work yet, so she had to set up the stall by herself. Feeling that only eggs were too shabby, Jiang Heng went to get a bucket of fish, but still couldn't support three baskets. So she thought of Chinese alfalfa, which is a treasure among wild vegetables, the kind that sells for more than ten yuan per pound in supermarkets.
So before setting up the stall, I picked a basket to try first.
Although she felt that the village was now full of astragalus and people might not necessarily buy it, it was okay because the chickens and ducks at home could eat it.
After making all the preparations, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Heng sent a notice to his village group and the county vegetable seller group, and officially set up the stall at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Immediately, people from the county town, relatives and guests from each household in the village, and guests from surrounding villages came to buy vegetables as soon as they heard the news. As there were so many people driving, the two-lane country road was once jammed with traffic.
It gets dark early in winter, so Jiang Heng’s stall opening time has been moved forward little by little, and now it starts at 4 o’clock sharp.
In a little while, it felt like it would be dark.
*
When the time came, Jiang Heng set up his stall. A long line of people had already formed in front of him. Some villagers enthusiastically brought out some benches for everyone to sit on, and praised Jiang Heng for his diligence: "It's Chinese New Year, and you're already busy setting up the stall. My child is still in bed and refuses to get up!"
While tidying up, Jiang Heng skillfully struck up a conversation: "They've been busy for a year, shouldn't they take a good rest? It won't take me long to set up a stall."
The villager who spoke showed a distressed look on his face: "Yeah, it's hard to do work now. They are under a lot of pressure and their hair is falling out in clumps. I sweep the floor and the broom is covered with a pile of hair..."
A young man in a white shirt standing at the front of the line was obviously here for the first time. As soon as he joined the line, he began to look around curiously, with a look of surprise on his face. He kept checking his phone, probably comparing it with pictures on the Internet, with amazement in his eyes.
This boss is really as good-looking as he says on the Internet.
I heard that many scouts left messages in her comment section saying that they had sent her private messages, but unfortunately no one responded.
After looking around, his eyes fell on the basket in front of him. The sale had already begun, and the owner's voice was clear: "Goose eggs are fifteen yuan each, chicken eggs are five yuan each, a total of fifty yuan, and three pounds of fish..."
Finally, I saw something that looked like roadside weeds, but it was 30 yuan per pound!
He was stunned: "Isn't this just a weed? Can it be sold as a vegetable?"
Before Jiang Heng could reply, a middle-aged woman behind him said hurriedly, "Young man, you don't understand. This isn't just some weed, it's a wild vegetable, and it tastes delicious!"
A middle-aged man nearby also said, "Yes, yes, the milk vetch isn't as tender as the radishes and cabbages being cultivated nowadays, but it's at its best right now. Pinch the tender stems, blanch them in water, and mix them with cold water. It tastes really good!"
Finally, he added, "Boss Jiang's food is guaranteed to be better than anyone else's. This milk vetch is definitely even better."
Judging from their attire, these two men looked like they were from the city. Their skin was fairer than the villagers' and they had not been exposed to the harsh sun. Their eyes were shining as they looked at the alfalfa on the stall.
Qian Yuan scratched his head and looked less than fifty meters away. There was also a patch of astragalus growing there, which looked similar.
To him, it's just weeds.
This can be sold for thirty yuan per kilogram?
He didn't take it seriously.
His mother was married from a nearby village and went to the city with his father. She would not come back until the second day of the New Year to visit her parents. He was also a guest this year, but at this afternoon, a group of people were obsessed with playing cards, but he was the only one who didn't like playing these games. He drove the car and was sent away to buy groceries.
We are going to town, and the children of relatives don’t want to go with us.
He was the only one who hitchhiked with his fellow villager.
He had eaten the dishes from Boss Jiang's house at his relative's house here, and they tasted really good. His relative grabbed a piece of pork, which was said to be priced at 150 yuan per pound. If his uncle and aunt had not made some money from this boss this year, they would not have been willing to buy it.
I made braised pork with potatoes for guests at noon today. The pork was so soft and fragrant that even the fat didn't seem greasy, and even the potatoes had a meaty aroma. Before the meal, a table of guests said that they didn't need to cook any meat, as they were tired of eating meat every day in the city and just wanted to eat some vegetables. But when it was time to eat, they all started eating the pork, including himself, and finished two large bowls of rice with the soup.
However, as a child who grew up in the city, he rarely even went to the vegetable market, let alone got to know these wild vegetables that only appeared briefly during this period. His family was well off, but he was reluctant to spend the money on wild vegetables that cost 30 yuan per pound when there were similar wild vegetables available for picking right next to him.
Qian Yuan continued playing with his phone, but the next second, his father called him: "Son, is Boss Jiang selling Chinese milk vetch?!"
Qian Yuan was shocked: "You know all this?"
"Your uncle heard from others that you should hurry up and buy more. Your aunt and mother are waiting to eat them." Qian's father smiled and said, "You are lucky, this is the first time the boss has sold Chinese milk vetch."
Qian Yuan looked strange: "So you are the ones who were taken advantage of?"
Dad Qian:?
"Dad!" Qian Yuan lowered his voice, "The wasteland next to me is full of astragalus. How about I just pick some and take it home? I can save some money. You know, this boss sells it for thirty yuan a pound!"
The corner of Qian's father's mouth twitched. "Do you understand, kid? Your uncle said that Boss Jiang is very good at growing vegetables. Wild vegetables must be better than ordinary ones. Just buy them if he asks you to! If you really want to eat them yourself, why not just go to your uncle's field and pick them?"
Qian Yuan said angrily: "Alright."
But he is poor!
In his first year of work, in order to show his filial piety, he gave his parents a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year, and he also had to pay the car loan and buy gifts for relatives along the way. Now his wallet is a little overwhelmed, but he agreed to everything. When it was his turn, he still asked for two kilograms.
That should be enough, right?
Sixty yuan for two kilograms, that’s really expensive.
Eggs are also expensive, five dollars each!
His poor wallet was aching. After he finished buying the weeds, he saw the same kind of weeds on the grass next to him that he couldn't tell the difference from each other... Qian Yuan suddenly had a bad idea and ran to pick half a bag. Fortunately, the boss gave him a big bag to hold eggs, which was just enough for him.
When people do bad things, they really don’t feel tired.
He picked all the fruits diligently and skillfully and packed them in bags. Just then, the villagers who had come by car with him had also sold all their fruits. They went back together and no one who knew him noticed that he had picked some extra sweet clover from the roadside.
However, some people who didn't know him picked some.
Some young people even secretly took photos and posted them online.
Qian Yuan was completely unaware of this. He happily sent the man back to the village and returned to his uncle's house. He enthusiastically volunteered, "Aunt, let me do this astragalus!"
The aunt who was playing cards, Qian's parents, and other relatives were all stunned for a moment: "Oh, why are you so diligent all of a sudden?"
There are several young children in the family, and they are all lazier than each other, and Qian Yuan is no exception.
But it's because his family is doing well among the younger generation and he is the only one who has a car.
Qian Yuan said seriously, "I was waiting in line there, and someone told me that this Chinese milk vetch salad is delicious. He told me how to make it, and I want to try it."
The adults were immediately amused and said readily, "Okay, you can do it."
"No problem. If the food isn't tasty, the groceries won't be reimbursed."
"Don't worry! I'll give you something delicious!"
Qian Yuan patted his chest confidently.
He turned into the kitchen, took out his cell phone, and nervously started filming a video.
He wanted to see if they could tell the difference between the Chinese alfalfa his father insisted on buying from this store!
