After Zhang finished speaking, she carried the big basket on her back and continued walking into the mountains. Yun Erge and Yun Sange also followed Zhang.
Yun Yiyi took a small shovel and started digging small garlic roots. At this time, the small garlic roots had grown very big, and the garlic heads underneath were also not small, and the smell of garlic was particularly strong.
Yun Yiyi glanced aside and saw Xie Zirui also digging with a small shovel. However, something seemed a little off. Yun Yiyi rubbed her chin and thought for a moment.
Yun Yiyi walked over to Xie Zirui and looked down at the small garlic roots he had dug. This was a startling sight. Xie Zirui had only dug up the stems with leaves, leaving behind the garlic bulbs.
"Brother Zirui, you can't dig like this. The main thing about small garlic roots is to dig the garlic heads underneath. The garlic heads are buried a little deep in the soil, so you have to dig deeper." Yun Yiyi said as she picked up a complete small garlic root in the basket to show him.
When Xie Zirui saw it, his face turned red.
"Ah, so that's how it is."
Yun Yiyi picked up her small shovel and dug at a small garlic root on the ground. Soon a whole small garlic root was dug out.
"Yiyi, I understand." After Xie Zirui said that, he took a small shovel and started digging the small roots of garlic on the ground.
"Brother Zirui, you keep digging here. I'll go check ahead. I seemed to smell wild chives just now."
"Yiyi, are wild chives delicious?"
"It's delicious, Brother Zirui. I told you that wild chives can be used to make dumplings, vegetable boxes, and scrambled eggs. They are very delicious."
"Yiyi, does wild chives taste the same as chives? The names sound similar."
Yun Yiyi patted Xie Zirui on the shoulder and said, "Brother Zirui, you are so smart. Wild chives taste the same as leeks, but wild chives are more fragrant and delicious."
"Okay, then you go and take a look. But don't run too far." Xie Zirui nagged a little more worriedly.
"Brother Zirui, you are almost as nagging as my eldest brother now." After saying this, Yun Yiyi ran towards the woods nearby.
Xie Zirui stood there for a moment, feeling as if he had been nagging a bit. He covered his face in embarrassment and squatted down to continue digging wild vegetables.
Yun Yiyi followed the scent of wild chives and found a small slope. The slope was at the edge of the woods, where the trees were sparse and large swathes of sunlight filtered through the gaps.
Yun Yiyi looked up and instantly jumped for joy. She had picked all the wild chives from a small patch on the slope. They must have weighed several kilograms, enough for several meals.
Yun Yiyi looked around, but no one came over. This location was a bit remote.
So, Yun Yiyi put down her shovel and basket and began to pick wild chives with her hands. The wild chives had probably never been picked before, as they grew in clumps, plump and very easy to pick.
After a while, Yun Yiyi had picked several handfuls of wild chives. She looked up and saw that half of the chives were still left, so she turned into a little bee and bent down to continue picking the chives.
By the time Yun Yiyi had finished picking all the wild chives in this small patch, the small basket was already overflowing. It must have weighed about seven or eight kilograms. It was such an unexpected surprise, and Yun Yiyi smiled happily.
Suddenly, Yun Yiyi stood up and looked around. No one was coming from the nearby woods. Great! Yun Yiyi took a small shovel and began digging at the wild chives on the ground. This time, she dug up the roots of the wild chives completely.
She thought that she could plant some wild chives in the space so that it would be convenient to eat them in the future.
In a short while, Yun Yiyi dug up more than a dozen clumps of wild chives. She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she put the wild chives into the space.
Then, Yun Yiyi also entered the space, found a small spot on the edge of the ground, and planted the wild chives. After watering them, Yun Yiyi hurried out of the space.
Fortunately, there was no one around. Yun Yiyi took a deep breath. Entering a space was like being a thief. She felt too guilty.
"Yiyi, where are you? We need to go back." Zhang's voice came from afar.
"Mom, I'll be there right away." Yun Yiyi replied loudly, then picked up the small basket and walked back.
When passing by a large rock, Yun Yiyi plucked three wild onions from the cracks in the rock. The onion stems were very thick and had a strong onion fragrance.
"Haha, I'm really lucky today. Not only did I dig up wild chives, but I also picked wild onions." Yun Yiyi muttered to herself happily.
"Yiyi, what are you mumbling about?" Brother Yun San's loud voice suddenly rang in my ears.
"Third brother, your voice is so loud that it scared me." Yun Yiyi glanced at Third Brother Yun.
"Hey, you were just too focused, why blame me? But, Yiyi, what were you mumbling about just now?"
"Wow, Yiyi, where did you find so many wild chives? There are three wild onions on top of it."
Hearing the loud noise of Third Brother Yun, Zhang and Second Brother Yun also looked over.
Yun Yiyi's basket was filled with plump, green leeks, and three thick wild onions were placed on top of the basket.
"Yiyi, where did you find the wild chives? I ran so far and didn't see any wild chives."
"Yes, Yiyi, these three wild onions are enough for us to eat for several days. Mother, it seems like we haven't eaten onions for a long time?" Second Brother Yun turned around and looked at Zhang.
"Yes, since the drought, there are fewer onions to eat. I just ran a long way with the villagers, but I didn't see anyone picking wild onions and wild leeks." Zhang also had a surprised expression on her face.
Xie Zirui, standing next to him, also looked at Yun Yiyi in surprise. Although he had just recognized wild chives and onions based on their smell, Yiyi's luck was surprisingly good.
"Mom, second brother, third brother, let me tell you, I didn't just pick these wild chives and onions casually."
Yun Yiyi paused deliberately, looking at everyone's disbelieving expressions before continuing, "I didn't run around everywhere. If you're not sure where to find wild chives and onions, it's useless to run all over the mountain."
"As for me, I have a unique method. Most people probably can't do it."
"Yiyi, if you have any ideas, please tell me. Maybe I can do it." Third Brother Yun looked unconvinced.
"Well, I told you what I was doing. I found the wild chives by smelling them. The place where I picked them was about a mile away from here."
"I also found those three wild onions by taking a shortcut. Of course, I smelled the wild onions first, and then went looking for them."
As soon as Yun Yiyi finished speaking, Zhang and Second Brother Yun were stunned. It wasn't that Yiyi's method was bad. It was good, but as Yiyi said, the average person really couldn't use it.
