Wang Fang looked at the large patch of tender green purslane and immediately trotted over excitedly.
"I just met so many people on the mountain. I was worried that someone would get there first! Luckily, we got here early, so no one else should have discovered this place yet! Let's hurry up and... get all the trees here."
Wang Fang looked at the clumps of purslane in front of her with great joy, her eyes almost narrowed into slits due to her smile.
Not caring about the breath that hasn't even started yet...
After saying that, she squatted down excitedly and reached out to pick wild vegetables.
As a result, he used too much force and was almost knocked over by the backpack on his back.
: "Be careful!"
Mu Yunxi supported her from behind and chuckled.
Wang Fang quickly put the backpack on the ground, patted the mud on her palms, and smiled at Mu Yunxi embarrassedly.
"Hehe... I was a little excited just now and forgot to put down the backpack first."
Mu Yunxi's eyes were filled with smiles, and her voice was gentle and soft.
"That's normal. This is the first time I've seen such a large field of purslane. It looks even more juicy than the ones I grow in my own vegetable garden."
"Right? This kind of wild vegetable is easy to grow. In fertile soil, it grows beautifully without any care!"
Wang Fang replied with a smile.
The two of them were talking, and their hands were not idle...
Pinch the purslane near the root and gently pinch it...
After a while, he had a handful of purslane in his hand.
The purslane in this patch grows closely together...
It grows particularly strong, with plump and broad leaves.
Gently blown by the breeze, the figure sways.
It was as if it was warmly inviting them both to come and pick them.
The two of them chatted and laughed, enjoying the fun of picking.
The places they "visited"...soon there were only weeds and short purslane shoots left.
By the time they had finished picking all the purslane in this large patch, their backpacks were firmly packed.
Looking at the bountiful harvest, the two of them set out on their journey home with satisfaction.
Wang Fang took Mu Yunxi to the riverside.
The two of them washed all the purslane in the basket and then returned to the yard.
The two of them boiled a large pot of water.
Wang Fang soaked purslane in hot water in batches.
Let each purslane be heated evenly...
Blanch for about a minute, then remove from the heat.
Then pour the blanched purslane into a bamboo sieve, spread it out, and put it in the sun to dry.
This is the first and most crucial step in making pickled mustard greens, and it is complete.
Mu Yunxi followed her steps and blanched all the purslane she picked with boiling water.
Then he took the blanched purslane back to the new house to dry it in the sun.
As for the three-steaming and three-drying method, it is even simpler!
After listening to Wang Fang's explanation, Mu Yunxi felt that it would be no problem for her to get started.
The two of them made an appointment to go pick wild vegetables together in the afternoon.
Then they went their separate ways.
After working all morning, it will soon be time to get off work.
......
As soon as Sheng Zhiyi got off work, he rushed back to the new house.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw the blanched purslane in the bamboo sieves.
This thing...
He saw Wang Fang and his wife do the same thing last year.
Of course I know that this thing is used to make pickled mustard greens.
: "You're back, go wash your hands and eat."
Mu Yunxi had just finished cooking the dishes when she saw Sheng Zhiyi walking towards the kitchen.
Sheng Zhiyi smiled at his girlfriend, his peach blossom eyes slightly raised, giving him a naturally amorous look.
"Xixi, you and Wang Zhiqing went to pick wild vegetables this morning."
Mu Yunxi raised her eyes and glanced at him.
Thinking that he had seen her and Wang Fang passing by, she raised her lips and replied,
: "Well, we went into the mountains this morning."
As she spoke, she picked up a plate of food and went to the main room next door.
Seeing this, Sheng Zhiyi quickly washed his hands and went over to help.
When all the food is served on the table,
He then looked at his partner and smiled.
"I guess so. Among all of us old educated youth, she is the only one who has the patience to learn these local specialties from the aunties in the village."
Mu Yunxi found a chair and sat down, then turned her gaze to him.
"I heard her say that today and decided to give it a try."
Sheng Zhiyi nodded.
"The dried vegetables tasted okay, but the preparation process was a bit troublesome."
Mu Yunxi raised her eyebrows and said indifferently,
"If it's as delicious as she says, it's worth the trouble!"
