"Brother, you guys take a rest here for a while. I'm going to take a walk around the area ahead to see which area has more wild vegetables and fruits."
"Okay, Yiyi, then don't run too far. We'll wait here for you to come back."
"Okay, brother. I'll be back soon." Yun Yiyi said as she walked forward.
Brother Yun and the others found a place to sit down.
Yun Yiyi quickly walked past the pile of rocks, where there were many wild fruits. After everyone finished picking wild vegetables, they could go pick wild fruits.
She walked through the pile of rocks and came to the edge of the woods, where there was a small clearing covered in lush greenery.
Yun Yiyi walked over and found a small patch of purslane in the open space.
Purslane grows best in autumn. A large purslane plant can be used to make a dish.
After picking purslane, blanch it in boiling water, add mashed garlic and salt and mix it with cold salad. It has a crisp texture and is very delicious.
Purslane can also be used to make soup, which tastes good.
The preservation method of purslane is also very simple. Dry the purslane directly and soak it in warm water when eating. It can be fried or used in dumplings. The taste is different from eating fresh purslane.
Yun Yiyi looked at the lush green purslane and thought Zhang would like it very much. Purslane is easy to prepare and tastes good.
Then, Yun Yiyi walked a little further. There was a small patch of wild amaranth growing on the ground. At this time of year, the wild amaranth was growing very large.
Yun Yiyi looked up and saw that the wild amaranth was much taller than her. However, in Yun Yiyi's hometown, they didn't eat the stalks of wild amaranth, they ate the leaves instead.
The leaves of wild amaranth can be used to make cold dishes and soups. They also taste very good.
Yun Yiyi was very happy and continued walking forward. There were some shepherd's purse on the ground ahead, mixed with some ground lettuce.
Yun Yiyi knew that shepherd's purse tasted very good and was a wild vegetable that was often eaten.
However, the amount of ground lettuce eaten is a little less. Usually, ground lettuce can be used to feed cattle, sheep, and pigs.
That was when wild vegetables were plentiful, but nowadays they are scarce, and ground lettuce is edible, though its stems have small hairs.
Therefore, when eating ground lettuce, you can blanch it in boiling water and then cook it, and it will taste good.
Generally, where there is shepherd's purse, there will be ground lettuce. When people dig wild vegetables, they only dig shepherd's purse and not ground lettuce.
However, Yun Yiyi decided to dig up all the ground vegetables today. For the sake of winter, she would dig up all the edible wild vegetables.
Yun Yiyi continued to stroll forward. Hehe, today's luck is really good.
There is a small patch of wild leeks in the open space near the woods.
Wild chives are fat and green, and they are a pleasure to look at.
Yun Yiyi squatted down and touched the wild leeks with her hand. She could have delicious pie again tonight.
Yun Yiyi loved both the chive and egg filling and the chive and bacon filling. However, conditions did not allow it, so she asked Zhang to arrange the chive and egg filling.
Yun Yiyi walked forward a bit, but found that if she continued walking she would enter the woods, so she started walking back.
When passing by the pile of stones, she looked at it carefully. Among the thorn bushes, there were some small jujube trees, and the jujubes on the trees were all bright red.
There were few other wild fruits in the thorn bush, so Yun Yiyi decided to pick some wild jujubes.
Yun Yiyi walked back while thinking.
"Yiyi, how about it? Is there a place with a lot of wild vegetables?"
"Brother, you two should follow me and carry the baskets. I found a place ahead where there are wild vegetables."
"Okay, let's go now."
Brother Yun and the others hurriedly carried baskets and followed Yun Yiyi forward.
The others followed closely behind.
"Yiyi, there are a lot of wild dates here. You can come over and pick some later."
"Third brother, you and the eldest brother should go and dig some wild vegetables first. I'll go walk around inside later and see if there are any other wild fruits."
"The wild jujubes are delicious, but they're so hard to pick. If you're not careful, you'll prick your hands."
"Hehe. Yiyi is right. If I can find other wild fruits, I will definitely not pick wild dates. The last time I picked wild dates, I got a lot of thorns on my hands."
"Don't worry, Third Brother. This mountain is so big, there must be more than just wild fruits like the jujube."
Brother Yun looked at Yiyi in surprise and said, "Yiyi, you found a lot of wild vegetables in this vacant lot."
"Brother, just keep digging forward. There are a lot of wild vegetables in the open space at the edge of the woods."
"By the way, big brother, why don't you just go ahead and cut that small patch of wild leeks first."
"Brother, did you bring a sickle today?" Yun Yiyi asked uncertainly.
Brother Yun was surprised. "Don't worry, Yiyi. We brought three sickles. We're so lucky today. We actually encountered wild leeks again."
"Yes, Yiyi is so lucky. We will have delicious pie to eat tonight."
"Yiyi, it was the right decision for us to take you into the mountains."
"Yiyi, you're amazing. I didn't expect you could find so many wild vegetables."
Yun Yiyi smiled sheepishly, "Brother, you guys are exaggerating. If you say anything more, I'm going to kick the bucket."
"Hey, Yiyi. You'll need to get used to it."
"Brother, finish harvesting the wild leeks and then send someone down the mountain. Let our mother make cakes with the wild leeks. If you send them too late, the meal will be ready."
"Yes, Yiyi is right. The wild leeks must be sent back first. Our mother is always fast at cooking. If she is slow, we won't be able to eat the pie today."
So, Brother Yun led everyone to the front to cut wild leeks. Xie Zirui followed with a small shovel.
Brother Yun was worried about Xie Zirui digging wild vegetables here alone, so he felt it would be safer to keep him under his own supervision.
As for Yiyi, Brother Yun was much more relieved. This was mainly because Yun Yiyi had a high fighting power and ordinary people could not beat her.
So, everyone split up into two groups. Brother Yun and his group went to cut wild leeks, while Yun Yiyi continued to climb the mountain to look for other wild fruits.
After Yun Yiyi said goodbye to everyone, she picked up her iron stick and climbed up while beating the grass.
Fortunately, the grass in the woods is very sparse, so there is no need to worry about snakes hiding in it.
However, Yun Yiyi still felt that it would be more reassuring to knock it down.
At this time, walking in the woods, Yun Yiyi felt a little cold. It was now the time when it was hot at noon and cold in the morning and evening.
Yun Yiyi estimated that she had been climbing for about half an hour, so she stopped.
She looked around and saw nothing but trees.
She looked at a forest to the south, where the trees were sparser, and so she walked towards that forest.
