Chapter 7 Wild Vegetables
When the farm stay was preparing for trial operation, Bai Mengmeng did not choose a date, but just chose a very ordinary weekend.
After all, most of the vegetables she planted were not ripe yet, only green vegetables were left, and the others were still growing. What could she use to entertain the guests?
Therefore, in this late spring, Bai Mengmeng plans to go to the mountains to see if she can find some wild vegetables.
Wild vegetables are sometimes far more delicious than cultivated vegetables.
But then again, it would cost a lot of money to rent such a large piece of forest, right?
Grandpa is so rich, but why did he let this mountain lie there in ruins instead of developing it properly?
Before going up the mountain, Xu Bo's face was full of worry: "Be careful when you go up the mountain. If anything happens, just shout for Liang Xiaozi. He is in the back mountain all day."
Bai Mengmeng nodded, put the sickle in the backpack, and walked up the mountain with it on her back.
There are a lot of wild grasses on the mountain, and it was originally very difficult to climb the mountain, but because there are so many people walking, a small trail was added.
However, it is still quite difficult to walk on such a mountain road. Even if the mountain is not high, it still takes some effort.
Fortunately, Bai Mengmeng awakened her talent and her physical fitness was greatly improved, so it was not difficult for her to walk along the way.
The mountain is shaded by green trees and the air is fresh. Bai Mengmeng can tell what kind of plants they are just by taking a quick look at the vegetation along the way.
[Fern: Pick the stems and buds, fresh and delicious]
This is no different from identification!
Isn't this a natural vegetable garden? Bai Mengmeng quickly picked a handful of ferns and then smiled.
Not long after, I discovered a few small trees on the right, covered with thorns and with tender buds on top.
[Spirited Dragon Bud: Pick the top bud, which has a strong aroma and nourishes yin and kidney. It is too old and not recommended for consumption]
"We should have come earlier!" Bai Mengmeng was a little helpless. She searched one by one and found that all the spiny dragon buds had grown up and were not suitable for consumption.
Continuing to walk forward, Bai Mengmeng found another patch of shepherd's purse, which was already in bloom.
Even though Bai Mengmeng didn't know what this thing was, she knew that when her mother was still alive, she would often cut her own meat to make dumplings for her. The aroma mixed with shepherd's purse made her drool.
However, these shepherd's purse have bloomed now and are only suitable for boiling eggs.
Bai Mengmeng knew she should have come earlier, but she was unwilling to give up. After searching carefully, she finally found a layer of fresh shepherd's purse.
Before long, she had filled up half of the backpack.
Continuing forward, Bai Mengmeng's eyes lit up.
Although it is late spring now, perhaps because the temperature on the mountain is relatively low, there are still many wild onions, garlic, amaranth, white celery, and even locust flowers left.
Bai Mengmeng picked fruits as she walked. When she reached the top of the mountain, her backpack was already full and could not hold anything else.
Bai Mengmeng didn't want to eat too much. After resting at the top of the mountain, she walked down the mountain.
【Toona sinensis: Pick the tender shoots, which are fragrant and appetizing】
Bai Mengmeng's face suddenly showed surprise. She didn't expect to have such a gain when going down the mountain.
Of all the wild spring vegetables, her favorite would undoubtedly be Chinese toon, which is incredibly valuable, often costing tens of yuan per pound in supermarkets. "I'm rich! There's such a huge patch!" Bai Mengmeng beamed, rushing over. She discovered the toon was at its lushest, and the unique aroma of picking it was a perfect match.
Bai Mengmeng knew that the backpack was already full and could not hold all the food, so she took off her coat and used it as a pocket, filling it up with picks.
When she returned to the farmhouse, she not only carried a basket of wild vegetables, but also a bag of Chinese toon in her clothes and a handful in her hands. Uncle Xu joked that she was going to purchase supplies.
…
Time flies, and soon it is the day of trial operation.
Late spring is passing quietly and early summer is about to arrive.
The sun was warm and everything was moving. Phoenix Mountain also took this opportunity to hold an outing, which attracted many tourists.
Although it is a rural scenic spot, it attracts a lot of people because it is free.
Yu Yue and his classmates took advantage of the weekend and came to Phoenix Mountain early in the morning. As students of the Academy of Fine Arts, this trip was not just for sightseeing, but also for sketching.
They arrived at the lake early in the morning and a group of eight people painted seriously. They stopped at around eleven o'clock.
"It's already noon, why don't we go eat? There seem to be a few farm stays open recently, and it's a rare opportunity for us to go out." Yu Yue suggested first.
Qi Cong, another companion who came out with them, quickly shook his head and refused.
"Let's go to the restaurant for dinner. There's definitely nothing good to eat at the farmhouse. Just listen to the name and you can tell it's just some home-cooked dishes, and they're pretty rustic!"
This guy named Qi Cong has low emotional intelligence and doesn't know how to behave. Because he comes from a well-off family, he often shows his superiority, either disliking this or that. If they weren't in a group, Yu Yue wouldn't bother talking to him.
"Master Qi, go to the big hotel by yourself. For ordinary people like us, it's just right to eat at a farmhouse."
The others didn't want to pay any attention and followed him towards the farmhouse.
Qi Cong's face was gloomy for a while, but he could only follow.
When we came out of the scenic area, it was already time for dinner. In addition, there were so many people around that the better farmhouses were already overcrowded.
Seeing this, Yu Yue couldn't help but frowned: "Wait a moment, I'll go look somewhere else first, maybe there's a spot farther away."
I continued forward and soon saw a small building with a sign saying "Restaurant". It looked like a place to eat.
I've never seen it before, it seems to be a new store, maybe there are vacancies.
…
On the other side, Bai Mengmeng was a little worried at the moment.
After all, it was a new shop, so she deliberately arranged tasks for her disciples. Hua Guduo was in charge of simple tasks, and Wang Hao was the one who served the dishes. Liang Cha didn't dare to give any instructions, so she asked him to settle the bill at the front desk.
Bai Mengmeng was worried that the other party didn't know how to add, subtract, multiply or divide, so she asked a question, but was met with a roll of the eyes from the other party.
But unexpectedly, it was already dinner time, but no one came to the store.
"Master, we must promote our opening. If you put a few flower baskets and two strings of firecrackers, people will definitely come. Otherwise, others won't know we're open." Huaguduo felt helpless.
Bai Mengmeng shook her head: "Isn't it said that good wine needs no bush?"
"Master, you are right. The food delivery robot is about to be developed." Wang Hao looked like a flatterer.
Bai Mengmeng's heart skipped a beat: "No, stop it now!"
If we don’t make any money by then, we will be broke just paying the medical expenses to the customers.
Liangcha ignored the noise and read quietly.
Bai Mengmeng's eyesight is not good enough now. She noticed at a glance that the other person was watching "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
"I thought you were a sword maniac, but I didn't expect you'd also read martial arts."
Liang Cha didn't even bother to give him a look: "I'm looking for inspiration. Yang Guo also uses a heavy sword."
“…”
He is indeed a madman. Damn the cultivation of immortals. He doesn't even have a mental method and has to force people to look for it in novels.
As they were joking, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Bai Mengmeng was suddenly excited because a guest was coming!
