I found a place with a pond next to it and many fish were swimming around in it.
Gao Zhijun asked everyone to come down and weed. After clearing an area of three-mu (approximately 1/3 of an acre) they took down the cotton cloth and spread it on the ground, and then took the food out of the car.
"The elderly and children will stay here to rest. Baihu Baichen and Mo Yu will stay to protect them. The rest of you can go out in groups to look for wild vegetables or food. Each group of five will be accompanied by a person with strong martial arts skills to ensure your safety.
We compete to see who can find the most and biggest food, and that team wins."
Gao Mangjun said to the Huo family and the Sun family.
"Sixth sister-in-law, I agree!"
Huo Jinfeng was excited and eager to try it out.
So, everyone found good teammates.
In addition to the three elderly people, Huo Jin, Zhang Chan and Zhuang Die, Huo Wenhai, Huo Wenyang, Huo Wenbin, Sun Dawu, Sun Meixiang and Gao Yuxuan stayed behind, and Xiaohua, Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu stayed behind to take care of the children. The rest all participated in the Bihan.
Gao Zhijun, Lu Shi, Huo Jinqian, Mo Xue, Huo Wenshan, and Huo Wenzhuo are in one group; Huo Zhiyuan, Huo Jinfeng, Huo Wenlong, Xiao Cui, Xiaofang, and Qinglong are in one group; Huo Jinchuan, Sun Dawen, Xiaoxue, and Canglang are in one group.
Everyone found a team and then set out in different directions to hunt for treasure.
Except for the direction they just came in from, the other three directions will be decided by drawing lots.
Gao Zhijun drew the left side, Huo Zhiyuan drew the front side, and Huo Jinchuan drew the right side.
The three teams set off!
Gao Zhijun set off with Lu, Huo Jinqian, Huo Wenshan, Huo Wenzhuo and Mo Xue.
Mo Xue was in charge of looking after Huo Wenshan, while Huo Jinqian was in charge of looking after Huo Wenzhuo. Gao Zhijun, carrying a backpack, carefully watched the ground to see if there were any herbs she had missed.
Mrs. Lu also followed Gao Zhijun's example and looked around to see if there were any herbs that had been dug up.
"Hey, what's that?"
Suddenly, Huo Wenzhuo pointed to a strange-looking plant in front of him and said.
Gao Zhijun looked up and saw several plants with green leaves and long, pointed fruits growing on the branches. Some of the fruits were red, some were green, and some were both red and green.
Holy crap! Chili peppers!
She didn't expect that there were wild peppers in ancient times. She was already shocked when she saw wild sweet potatoes, but she didn't expect to see wild peppers.
This is a good thing, the best seasoning for hot pot.
It seems that my second uncle’s hot pot restaurant can open early.
She thought that in ancient times, the most common thing one would see was sweet potatoes, and that modern things should not have appeared in ancient times.
Now it seems that she was too narrow-minded. Many modern wild foods should have appeared in ancient times, but they just had not been discovered.
"Everyone, please help pick the red fruits. They are called chili peppers and are a great seasoning. Be careful when picking them, and don't let the irritation get into your eyes."
Gao Zhijun said to everyone excitedly.
"Zhijun, can I eat chili peppers?"
Seeing Zhijun so happy, Mrs. Lu asked her curiously.
"Of course you can eat it. It can be eaten raw or stir-fried. But it's quite spicy, so if someone who can't handle spicy food eats it, their stomach won't be able to handle it.
It is better and spicier than Sichuan pepper and cornel."
Gao Zhijun explained.
It can be said that no one can resist the taste of crayfish, and no one can resist the charm of chili peppers.
Think about Lao Gan Ma and chili sauce, which are indispensable for modern people to have instant rice and noodles.
When she heard that it was better than Sichuan pepper and Cornus officinalis, Mrs. Lu was extremely excited.
The price of a pound of Sichuan pepper is two taels of silver, and the price of a pound of dogwood is one tael and five hundred wen. If chili pepper is better than them, it should cost two taels and five hundred wen or three taels per pound, or even higher than three taels of silver.
Thinking that these were all silver, Lu almost regarded them as his ancestors.
In addition to Huo Wenzhuo, Huo Wenshan, Gao Zhijun, Lu Shi, Huo Jinqian, and Mo Xue all helped to pick peppers.
Soon, they had picked all the red peppers, filling half a basket.
Gao Zhijun said to everyone with satisfaction: "Come back later to pick these green ones.
Also, if there are chili peppers here, there should be chili peppers elsewhere, so everyone should take a closer look."
Gao Zhijun believed that a few pepper plants would not appear for no reason, and there should be some in other places as well.
These pepper plants are the same size, which means they grew together.
If several plants can grow for no reason, it means that the seeds should be from the same pepper plant. It is possible that an animal brought the pepper from somewhere else and ate it here, leaving the pepper seeds on the soil and then sprouting to grow into pepper trees.
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu and Huo Jinqian walked while carefully observing the plants around them.
Gao Zhijun still dug out the herbs that were missed. Mo Xue held Huo Wenzhuo in one hand and Huo Wenshan in the other, keeping an eye on the surroundings to see if there were any dangerous animals.
On the other side, Huo Zhiyuan led Huo Jinfeng, Huo Wenlong, Xiao Cui, Xiao Fang, and Qinglong and walked forward.
Xiao Cui held Huo Wenlong's hand, and everyone looked around to see if there were any fruits or pheasants or rabbits.
Since Huo Zhiyuan, Huo Jinfeng and Huo Wenlong had walked through the mountains and knew some herbs, the three of them were looking at the weeds to see if there were any herbs or wild vegetables that they had missed.
There were no herbs, because the herbs they knew were also known to the villagers, so how could they miss them and let them dig them?
There were quite a lot of wild vegetables. The three members of the Huo family dug a full basket and then stopped digging.
"Daddy, do the red fruits on the tree look like apples?"
Huo Jinfeng pointed to a towering tree with big, red fruits on it and asked Huo Zhiyuan.
They have eaten apples before, so of course they know it.
