Chen nodded.
"These green vegetables are very tender, and it will take us quite some time to reach the migration destination.
We have been relying on buying food along the way, and when we get to the destination, we have no money at all, how are we going to survive?"
"Mother is still far-sighted!"
Ji Shi particularly agreed with her mother-in-law's words, and her hands were the fastest at digging shepherd's purse.
It can be seen that he is usually a capable person.
This is a wild area with few people coming here, so the wild vegetables grow more and more over the years.
Not only are there pieces of shepherd's purse, but there are also a lot of amaranth.
However, the water spinach is very old as winter approaches.
Otherwise, shepherd's purse grows in spring and winter, so it would be impossible to dig up such plump winter shepherd's purse now.
Meng Liqian and Meng Lihou always felt that they could not help their family in any way.
Now they both think digging wild vegetables is something they can do.
Although they don't know each other, they have eyes and can see.
"Xiao Qian and Xiao Hou, what you two dug are weeds. You can't eat them."
Xiaoqian and Xiaohou are the nicknames of Meng Liqian and Meng Lihou.
Mrs. Chen felt so distressed when she saw her two great-grandsons also helping to dig wild vegetables.
The two children should have been the little masters of the family, and all they had to do was eat, drink and have fun.
Now that I am suffering with my family, I know that I have to take the initiative to work.
Mr. Meng was also very pleased.
The whole family feels sorry for the two little ones.
But no one, not even their parents, suggested that they were too young to work.
They are farmers from now on, and sooner or later they will have to deal with these jobs.
Besides, if you learn more life skills, you won't starve to death by digging up some wild vegetables when you encounter difficult times in the future, even if you have nothing to eat in the wild.
"Come, Grandpa will teach you what shepherd's purse is."
Mr. Meng picked up a piece of shepherd's purse and brought it in front of the two little guys.
"Look carefully, what's the difference between what you dug and this shepherd's purse?"
Meng Liqian and Meng Lihou actually took the dandelions and toad vegetables they dug to the old man and compared them with the shepherd's purse in his hand.
By comparing them in this way, I really found the difference.
"Shepherd's purse has thinner stems and is green, while mine is white."
Meng Liqian observed very carefully.
"Well, that's right. This is called Huanghua Diding, and it's considered a medicinal herb."
Mr. Meng told Meng Liqian what he had dug.
[My grandfather is worthy of the title of "Yuanwai". He is quite knowledgeable.
Dandelion has many names, some people like to call it dandelion, white drum dandelion, etc.
Meng Shuyan likes to listen to her family talk.
Mr. Meng was praised by his granddaughter again and was very happy.
Girls are better because they can speak.
He is so blessed to have such a knowledgeable and talented granddaughter.
It was Meng Lihou's turn, and he also noticed something different.
"My leaves are too round, and there are little bumps on them, like a toad."
[Haha, my nephew is really smart. Isn't that what he has in his hand called toad vegetable?]
Meng Shuyan saw that the two little guys were very observant, which was very good.
Meng Lihou was very proud of receiving praise from his sister-in-law.
"I'll dig again, I'm sure I'll find the right one."
"Haha, okay, Grandpa will show you later, okay?"
Meng Liqian and Meng Lihou threw away the dandelions and toad grass in their hands, and Meng Shuyan felt a little sorry.
[Don’t throw it away, dandelions and toadweed are edible.
Although it tastes a bit bitter, it is good to eat occasionally.
However, these two things are a bit cold in nature, so mother can't eat them.
Meng Shuyan graduated from the Agricultural Expo and is very knowledgeable about wild vegetables.
She knows most of the basics, even people you don’t know.
[Both of these are delicious when dipped in soybean paste or wrapped in grilled pork belly. When will I grow up...]
She used to have a colleague from Northeast China who liked to dip these wild vegetables in soybean paste.
Thinking about it now makes me greedy.
Mrs. Chen heard her granddaughter say that the gentian and toadweed can be eaten with sauce.
I thought I would make the sauce after they arrived at the location.
When my granddaughter is old enough to eat, the soybean paste is almost ready to eat.
What are the shepherd's purse dumplings that my granddaughter mentioned? I'll have to ask someone about it when I get a chance.
Children are not allowed to come to their house, and they can’t even eat wild vegetables.
Not only Chen thought so, Leng Yingshuang and Meng Shijie also carefully wrote down what their daughter said she wanted to eat.
Once she is able to eat these things, I will arrange for them.
Meng Shuyan, who is not even a month old, has no idea how long her future menu will be.
The family was digging wild vegetables and chatting.
"Then Qiao Qinglu wasn't beaten to death by us, was she?"
Shu was a timid person, and she never saw Qiao Qinglu again after that night.
She was a little worried that someone might die.
"We are fighting bandits, she deserves to die!"
Chen knew that none of them knew what Qiao Qinglu's real purpose was.
Only she knew, but she couldn't say it out loud.
Not only did she think so, but everyone who could hear Meng Shuyan's thoughts thought so.
"She wasn't part of our group to begin with, and she shouldn't have gone with us."
"Too.
It would be better if such a troublemaker were not around."
It's better to be dead.
Ji agreed with her mother-in-law's words. She had always disliked Qiao Qinglu.
Meng Shuyan has been looking for Qiao Qinglu these two days, but has not seen any trace of her.
I hope she is really gone, or dead.
But that's impossible.
As the heroine of the book, it shouldn't be possible for her to die so easily.
