The Northwest is full of green in the summer. Although it is not as humid as the south, it is not barren either.
Some impatient people started digging while they were still on the road, and wild vegetables often appeared on the roadside.
Jiang Mengxue actually doesn’t eat wild vegetables much, but since she’s here today, she decided to dig some more and go back to make some cold dishes, dumplings, etc.
Han Siyue looked at the grass on the ground and found that they all looked the same and she couldn't tell any difference at all.
Jiang Mengxue was also worried that if she taught her too much, she wouldn't be able to remember it and would end up digging a basket of grass to take home, so she only taught her a few simple and common varieties.
Dandelion, Artemisia capillaris, Sichuan pepper sprouts, chicory, purslane.
In some places, there are also locust trees and Chinese toon trees, which are edible.
Both Chinese toon and Sophora japonica flowers can be fried with eggs.
Everyone found a place to dig wild vegetables, no one disturbed anyone else, and slowly people began to disperse.
As for Dahei and the others, no one knew where they had gone. After they were sure that Jiang Mengxue was staying there, they disappeared in a flash.
It was almost lunchtime when I saw Dahei strolling back with something in his mouth.
At this time, Jiang Mengxue and Han Siyue were sitting together having lunch. The food was prepared by Jiang Mengxue before she went out in the morning.
Anyway, the weather is neither too hot nor too cold so you can eat it cold, and it’s not so hot that the food can’t be kept for even half a day.
In the morning, I fried a plate of shredded potatoes and a plate of pickled mustard greens. Jiang Mengxue specially added eggs to the fry. It was not salty at all and was especially delicious with rice.
I also steamed dozens of spring rolls. Except for the ones I ate in the morning, I brought the rest with me.
When Dahei came, there was only one piece left. He barked a few times to show that he wanted to eat it too.
What he casually put down was a big rabbit weighing about ten pounds, with a bloody wound on its neck. When he picked it up, he found that its neck was twisted off.
Han Siyu knew that Dahei ate raw meat and just thought it was its lunch.
Although it seems quite luxurious, this was caught by Dahei himself.
As a result, Jiang Mengxue picked up the rabbit and threw it into the bag she brought, with no intention of letting Dahei eat it.
Instead, he wrapped some shredded potatoes and pickles in the last pancake and stuffed it into Dahei's mouth.
Dahei happily swallowed it without even chewing it.
Han Siyue didn't quite understand. This was different from what she thought.
"Sister-in-law, Dahei, will you only have one pancake for lunch?"
This doesn't seem like Dahei's appetite. So far, the only Dahei she knows is that he has never been full. He eats whatever you give him. Even when his stomach is bloated, he still eats.
So when she saw Dahei eating a piece of cake happily and running away after finishing it, without staying to beg for food, she was a little confused.
Jiang Mengxue smiled and said, "Didn't you see its belly is bulging? It's obvious that it came back after having a full meal.
It won't eat this rabbit. It usually eats it right after it's caught. It's a bargain for us. We can stew the rabbit tonight."
I don’t know whether I should say that Dahei is a bit picky about food. He is not very willing to eat the prey he catches in the morning in the evening.
In other words, the space has a fresh-keeping function, so if you put a newly dead animal in it, it will still be happy to eat it.
Standing on the hillside, looking at the small dots on the slope below, we realized that we had walked a long way without realizing it.
Jiang Mengxue and the others had already dug a basket full, which was enough for a meal, so they were no longer in a hurry and instead slowly started to walk on the hillside.
In the distance is the grazing area of the army. Soldiers are patrolling everywhere. Some sheepdogs are lying on the ground to rest, while others are running outside the flock to prevent the sheep from getting too far away.
The figure of Dahei is particularly eye-catching. If you look closely, you can see a smaller hound next to it, but it is a little far away and cannot be seen clearly.
After a while, Li Da came back with his younger brother and sister, and they also had three rabbits in their mouths.
Jiang Mengxue didn't know where they were caught. She had been there for a long time but didn't see any rabbits.
Fortunately, she brought a small bag with her when she came, otherwise it would have attracted too much attention if she had it in her hand when she left.
Jiang Mengxue called Dahei back before the others came back.
He put the four rabbits on both sides of the pocket and carried them on the big black man's back and let it take them back first.
"You go back first. If you're hungry, just bite open the bag and eat one. I'll cook when I get back."
The big black dog barked, turned around and howled towards the distance. No one knew what it was barking, but only heard the echo coming from the distance. Then it leisurely went home.
Jiang Mengxue was stunned by what she saw. Could this guy really have found a little bitch?
Although there is indeed such a meaning in bringing it here, it is a bit too fast.
Will it be soon that it will come back with a litter of puppies, allowing Jiang Mengxue to be promoted to a grandmother ahead of time?
Jiang Mengxue planned to observe Dahei's behavior carefully in the future. If something really happened, she could prepare a gift for Dahei's future wife. Eating and drinking well were the most basic things.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the group gathered together again. Of course, those who came together should go back together.
However, others were not like Jiang Mengxue and the others who simply dug a basket and called it a day. They dug as much as they saw, and the leftovers could be dried into wild vegetables to eat later.
"By the way, I want to go to my fellow villager's house to buy some things. Do you want to go?"
Liu Shuxia suggested that she wanted to buy some things. There was a small village a few kilometers away with only dozens of households. People in the village would also go to the market to sell things. After going there a few times, the people in the family compound also knew that they could buy things there.
Han Siyue wanted to go and take a look. Recently, she and Lu Zhengming had been eating at Gu's house. Although they provided food and tickets, she always felt that it was not good to keep going like this.
