Chapter 151 Reed Marsh
Spring is here, the sun is beginning to warm the earth, and the temperature is rising higher day by day.
Bai Mengmeng has been on Pig Island for more than half a month.
She has been living a relatively peaceful life these days, as she has no problems at work because she has a machine to cook the food.
Liangcha has physical training classes every day, and Wang Hao studies attribute weapons in his free time and has made some discoveries.
It was Song Siyu, who almost vomited from drinking black chicken soup every day. His injuries had obviously improved, and he even went to the cafeteria to do a set of boxing yesterday, indicating that he was no longer in any danger and just couldn't drink any more black chicken soup.
Everything was back on track, and Bai Mengmeng had the idea of digging wild vegetables again.
After all, the land on Pig Island is very fertile, warm and comfortable, and the wild vegetables here definitely grow very well.
Not only do the barren mountains and wild lands grow a lot of wild vegetables, but even around the building, you can occasionally see some dandelions, amaranth, or asparagus.
But what Bai Mengmeng was thinking about this time was wild artemisia.
After he discovered them in the reed marsh, he had been thinking about picking more.
Although this thing is not as ubiquitous as celery and dandelions, it can only grow this crisp, juicy, fragrant and delicious wild artemisia when it rains and the soil is moist and fertile.
But in March, this artemisia is indeed mouth-watering and a rare seasonal delicacy. She wanted to pick more and serve it as a snack in the cafeteria so that everyone can understand what the delicious food of spring is.
Otherwise, they will just scribble and make corrections in their notebooks all day long, writing a bunch of opinions, one wants to eat dried radish, the other wants to eat stir-fried vegetables, and act like they have never seen the world.
There weren’t actually many wild artemisia in the reed marsh before, so Bai Mengmeng planned to go to the river as much as possible and walk a little further.
After breakfast, she borrowed Master Pi’s security patrol car and set off with several sacks.
"This patrol car is quite nice."
Bai Mengmeng circled the patrol car, then drove south from the family building.
“It always feels like there’s a lack of atmosphere.”
Bai Mengmeng stopped the car, thought for a while, suddenly took out her cell phone, and played a song called "Rice Fragrance".
"Remember that home is... don't let the fireflies... rely on you forever."
Yes, that’s the taste.
Bai Mengmeng had a smile on her face and hummed as she walked forward.
The island is surrounded by water and the climate is warm in March, so the river breeze is not cold, but rather comfortable.
After leaving the base, the last trace of modern atmosphere disappeared from our sight, replaced by a refreshing landscape painting. The island has a well-developed water system, and farmlands on both sides are surrounded by streams, green grass, and dense river networks.
It was the first time for Bai Mengmeng to travel so far away. When she saw this beautiful pastoral picture, she suddenly felt like writing a poem.
But after so many years of graduation, the things in my mind had long been returned to the teacher intact. Now I could only stammer out: "Green grass stretches across the fields..."
Then I didn’t know what to say.
No wonder people say that you only regret not having read enough books when you need them. I didn’t expect it to be true.
Just as he was thinking hard and wanted to compose a poem, the text of "Bank" suddenly appeared in the video.
[Artemisia selengensis: Edible, tender stems and leaves can be used in salads and stir-fries, and have a refreshing taste.]
Found it so quickly!
Bai Mengmeng's eyes suddenly lit up. She quickly stopped the patrol car and looked around carefully. Sure enough, she saw patches of wild reed on both sides of the water.
She quickly put on gloves, picked up the sack and rushed over to collect it.
Although there is only one letter difference between Artemisia selengensis and Chinese cabbage, they are completely different. Artemisia selengensis has sections like a pen, and the leaves are also long and narrow. It is mainly composed of tender stems, and the taste has a fresh fragrance that is really addictive.
I remember that the big foodie Su Dongpo once wrote a poem called "The ground is covered with withered wormwood and the reed shoots are short", which is about this.
Bai Mengmeng pinched with both hands and pulled out a large piece of Artemisia selengensis
"Too much, too much!" Her face was full of excitement. Since there were so many Artemisia selengensis in this area, she would certainly not let it go. She would not leave this time until all the sacks were filled.
When the sun was high in the sky and the sack could no longer hold anything, she finally came out, feeling satisfied.
To be honest, there were so many wild wormwoods in this field that even if he picked them with several sacks, he would not be able to pick them all. It was as if this vegetable was growing everywhere.
Bai Mengmeng first put the things in the sack into the car, then turned around and started searching around.
He felt that since he was already here, it would be better not to make a wasted trip, otherwise it would be a waste.
Besides, it was still early and he was not in a hurry to cook for others.
After searching for a while, Bai Mengmeng felt more and more emotional.
The soil in this area is moist and fertile, and small puddles can be seen everywhere.
It would be a shame if such a place was not used to grow some water-growing vegetables.
"In spring, you can plant water chestnuts, in summer, you can dig lotus roots, in autumn, you can collect water chestnuts, and in winter, you can also grow aquatic celery and wild rice stems. You can grow vegetables for all seasons!"
"Come to think of it, this is a nice place."
Bai Mengmeng couldn't help but open her phone and started writing down the ingredients in her memo: "Chicken head rice, lotus root, wild rice stem, water celery..."
When Bai Mengmeng thought about how delicious these aquatic plants were, she felt like her mouth was watering.
If it can really be grown, then Director Fang will use his talent to help it grow. That way, it won’t be long before we can eat it!
…
The sun was originally rising slowly, but now it was getting higher and higher. If I didn't go back quickly to cook, I might not have time to cook.
Bai Mengmeng thought about this and decided to leave and return to the patrol car.
[Mint: edible and medicinal, with a distinctive smell, belonging to the genus Mentha in the family Lamiaceae.]
[Plantain: Edible and medicinal, with a sweet taste, from the genus Plantago in the family Plantaginaceae.]
Houttuynia cordata: Edible and medicinal, with edible stems and a unique aroma, it belongs to the Herbaceous family.
After walking forward for a while, Bai Mengmeng saw more and more wild vegetables in her field of vision. She was almost stunned. Is this place a sea of wild vegetables?
The resources on this island are a bit exaggerated compared to those outside!
But the bag is now full, so Bai Mengmeng can only remember these places temporarily, and plan to find time next time to catch all these wild vegetables.
