Yun Yiyi jumped off the mule cart and went into the woods by the roadside to take a look around.
"Dad, I went in and saw that there's plenty of space in the woods. We can park our car there."
"Okay, let's do it here."
Butcher Yun drove his cart and entered the forest first. Brother Yun the eldest and second brother Yun followed closely behind him.
"Dad, you and mom stay at home and clean up. We'll go dig wild vegetables first. Don't worry, I'll bring some back later." Brother Yun carried a basket and hurried to the woods behind.
"Keep an eye on your younger brothers and sisters, and make sure they don't run around." Zhang hurriedly instructed.
"I understand, mother."
Zhang shook her head as she watched the children happily walk up the hill. They not only wanted to pick wild vegetables, but also wanted to run around in the mountains.
Never mind. The kids haven't been this happy in a long time. Let them be. Besides, the mountain is full of mountain people. If anything happens, they can be heard by shouting.
"Wife, stop looking. The kids have been wanting to go play for a long time. You can't stop them."
"I didn't mean to stop him, I just felt a little uneasy."
"There's nothing to worry about. There are so many children here."
While Butcher Yun and Zhang were still chatting, Brother Yun and his companions had already reached the top of the mountain. Everyone looked up and saw trees everywhere, and they had no idea which direction the wild chives would be.
"Yiyi, I'll listen to you today. Which direction do you think we should go?"
"Yiyi, which direction can I find wild chives?"
“They all look pretty much the same to me.”
"Yiyi, have you made up your mind?"
Yun Yiyi waved her arms and said, "Brothers, no need to ask, just follow me."
Yun Yiyi took a small shovel and walked to the left side of the mountain.
"Yiyi, are you sure you can find wild chives in this direction?" Third Brother Yun looked at Yun Yiyi with doubt.
"Third brother, it's right to listen to me."
Brother Yun and the others looked at each other and continued to follow Yiyi forward.
They found a lot of wild vegetables along the way, but Yiyi didn't let them pick them and told them to pick them on their way back.
Yun Yiyi led a group of people and walked for about two miles before she stopped.
"Brothers, sit down and rest for a while. I'm going to find the location of the wild leek. No need to follow me, I'm nearby and you can all see me."
After Yun Yiyi said this, Brother Yun and the others consciously found a place to sit down and rest.
Yun Yiyi climbed up the mountain for more than a hundred meters with a small shovel. There was a slope on the top, with big rocks next to it. There were no big trees blocking the view, and the sunlight was very good.
On the slopes were clusters of wild chives, a small patch of lush green, very pretty.
Actually, there are wild chives growing in the mountains around here, but not in large numbers. Wild chives love sunlight, so they're rarely found in the woods. They're generally easier to find on sunny slopes like this one.
Yun Yiyi was also there when she first went up the mountain. She looked around and saw that the area was all densely forested. The trees blocked out the sunlight, so there weren't many wild vegetables that liked the shade.
Yun Yiyi found that there were areas with sparse trees here, so she led everyone to walk two more miles forward.
As for smelling the scent, Yun Yiyi did smell the scent of wild chives in front of her.
Yun Yiyi stood up and said, "Brother, brother, come here, there are wild vegetables here."
"Yiyi is calling us, let's go check it out." Brother Yun picked up the basket and started climbing up the mountain. The others also picked up their baskets and started climbing up the mountain.
The distance was very close, and we arrived quickly. When we saw this small patch of wild chives, we were stunned.
"Brother, second brother, don't just stand there like idiots. Hurry up and pick some wild chives. I'll go look for other wild vegetables nearby." After Yun Yiyi finished speaking, she continued to climb up the mountain.
"Brother, I didn't expect that Yiyi said we could find it by just looking for wild chives. I thought it would take some effort." Third Brother Yun pulled Big Brother Yun.
"Yiyi has always had good luck. Have you forgotten that when we were little, as long as we took Yiyi up the mountain, we would not return empty-handed." Second Brother Yun had already reacted and started to pick the mountain chives one by one.
"Second brother, I also think Yiyi is very lucky." Xie Zirui also looked at the small piece of wild chives with surprise.
"Haha, you're surprised, right? You'll get used to it slowly." Third Brother Yun smiled and patted Xie Zirui's shoulder.
"Zirui, don't dig the roots of this wild leek. Just pinch them one by one like I do." Second Brother Yun directly demonstrated how to pinch wild leek.
"Brother, I will."
"Okay, then hurry up and pick them. If Yiyi finds other wild vegetables, she will call us."
So, a group of people bent over and started to pick wild chives. Actually, wild chives like this are best cut with a sickle, but they only brought shovels, not sickles.
Yun Yiyi climbed another fifty meters and stopped. She looked up and found herself at the angle between two mountains.
The angle was not large, but there were not many trees, mostly large rocks with thorns, thatch, and small trees tangled on them.
Yun Yiyi sniffed her nose and smelled the scent of wild onions.
So she ran towards the big rock with grass on it, and in a short while, she pulled out more than ten thick wild onions.
Yun Yiyi suddenly noticed two wild garlic plants in the grass ahead. She ran over to them with joy, and sure enough, they were two sturdy, thick garlic sprouts. Yun Yiyi pulled them out in two quick pulls. Sure enough, there were tiny bulbs at the roots.
Yun Yiyi knew that wild garlic usually grew in patches, so there must be more nearby. So, she wandered around the patch of grass and quickly pulled out more than a dozen wild garlic seedlings.
Yun Yiyi felt that she had enough to eat for one meal, so she stopped looking for wild garlic. She headed towards the edge of the woods, looking for a place with fertile soil.
Yun Yiyi soon found her target: shepherd's purse. It was delicious and nutritious. Even though Yun Yiyi didn't like wild vegetables, she loved shepherd's purse and egg soup or shepherd's purse dumplings.
Yun Yiyi took a look around and found that there were quite a lot of shepherd's purse. She remembered the place and asked her elder brother and others to come and dig it up later.
Along with shepherd's purse, there is also a kind of gray-gray vegetable, but Yun Yiyi doesn't like it. Zhang and her family like to eat gray-gray vegetable.
Yun Yiyi also found a lot of bitter herbs nearby. They were already old and particularly bitter. However, Zhang knew how to deal with them. She would let her eldest brother and the others pick some and take them home. As long as it was edible, Zhang would never think too much of it.
Yun Yiyi sat on a big rock and rested for a while. Suddenly, she noticed a burst of fruity fragrance coming from her. It was sweet with a hint of sourness.
Could it be that there are some wild fruits that are ripe? Of course there are. If I find them, I can eat fruits for free. Yun Yiyi held her chin with both hands, thinking happily.
Yun Yiyi looked around but found no trace of the wild fruit. Where on earth was the wild fruit hidden?
