Jiang Manman didn't care what they thought of her, she just said:
"If you have your own backpacks, use them; if not, use those of the aunts.
Today I will take you to the mountains to pick grass for pigs. Just be careful not to pick any poisonous grass. Let's go!"
Wang Dandan and Lv Hongjuan followed her and Tang Xiaomin up the mountain.
Tang Xiaomin chattered all the way.
"Manman, these are pig grass, pigs eat them!
My God, I always thought pigweed was just one kind of grass, but it turns out there are so many kinds of grass.
So many kinds of grass are called pig grass. If there are 60 kilograms a day, we should be able to harvest 30 kilograms in the morning, right?
So if I catch 30 kilograms in advance, can I use the extra time to dig wild vegetables?
When are we going to make more buns? We are almost out of buns at home."
Her little mouth was never idle, and Jiang Manman's ears were buzzing with chatter.
"Hush! Don't talk. Everyone find a stick with a sharp end. If you encounter snakes, insects, rats or ants, you can drive them away."
Tang Xiaomin quickly shut up and nodded, making a hushing gesture.
She had the thin bamboo pole that Jiang Manman had found for her, but Wang Dandan and Lu Hongjuan didn't have it.
Look, Jiang Manman got one for each of them.
The two took the branches and thanked him.
"Thank you Jiang Zhiqing, I didn't expect you to be such a nice person."
After Wang Dandan finished speaking, Lv Hongjuan also said:
"Yes, thank you. I was quite scared of you when I saw you and Li Hongmei acting like that before."
Jiang Manman smiled.
"It's nothing, Li Hongmei was a bit extreme, let's not talk about her.
Let’s go get some pig grass!”
"Okay, okay."
Four people were picking grass for pigs in the mountains, and Jiang Manman told them all the grass that pigs could eat.
"That's about it. If you're not familiar with the rest, don't play. If you can't make up your mind, come and ask me."
"This flower is very beautiful, this one,"
Wang Dandan said as she was about to pick a white flower.
"Don't pick it! That flower is poisonous. It's the legendary Datura. Don't touch this kind of flower."
Wang Dandan was so scared that she quickly pulled her hand back with a look of horror on her face.
"Oh my god, it's actually poisonous. It's so scary."
Lu Hongjuan looked at the white flowers and her eyes flashed.
“I think I’ve heard of that mandala.
Is this what it is?
It’s not that mysterious. If you look at it this way, there are quite a few on the mountain.
Hey, is this what you use to catch wild boars?"
After hearing what he said, Jiang Manman turned to look at Lu Hongjuan. This girl was quite smart.
"This is a secret that I cannot tell. Let's go on. Morning glories like this are fine, and even pigs can eat them.
For example, purslane and dandelion are actually edible by humans, and plantain is also called cow's waste.
It has diuretic, blood cooling and detoxifying effects.
It can also prevent and treat various inflammations, nosebleeds, hematuria, and skin sores.
These are good for feeding pigs!"
"Then this pig eats quite a variety of things, it turns out these are all pig grass!
I usually thought that your job of collecting grass for pigs was quite easy, but I didn’t expect that it still requires some knowledge!
It would be terrible if you didn't know the poisonous grass! "
Wang Dandan stuck out her tongue, still feeling scared about the poisonous datura.
Lu Hongjuan looked at Jiang Manman curiously.
"Jiang Zhiqing, how do you know so much?
I heard that your family is also from the capital, could it be that you live in a village outside Jincheng?"
Jiang Manman was speechless. Comrade Lu's guess was quite reasonable.
"That's not the case, I'm from the old city.
I learned this by often going to the clinic to help the old doctor with his work. "
After hearing her say this, Lv Hongjuan stopped asking questions and instead changed the topic.
