Chapter 61: Digging bamboo shoots and discovering wild ginseng
An Mingji opened his mouth obediently, and when the cherry entered his mouth, his eyes lit up.
The sweet flesh was bitten open and the juice spread in the mouth. It was very delicious. He chewed it a few times and swallowed it. The fragrance lingered in his mouth and it was especially delicious.
Seeing his eyes sparkling, Gu Jin smiled and said, "Eat it. I've saved it for you. Don't give it to others."
"Yeah." An Mingji nodded vigorously and ate another cherry.
…
During the spring famine, every household had almost used up their surplus food, and many people began to dig wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain.
The Gu family also discussed this morning that they would go to the back mountain to dig some wild vegetables to eat. If they didn't dig them now, they would have to go deeper into the mountains to dig them. In recent days, many villagers in Qingshan Village have been digging wild vegetables.
Mr. Gu is old and in poor health, so he can't go.
Chen Hong decided to take her daughter to pick wild vegetables, and Gu Jin said he wanted to go with them.
As for Uncle Gu, he stayed at home to see if there were any other villagers coming to buy meat.
No one in the Gu family asked about the missing wild boar meat at home, as if they had never noticed. Everyone tacitly accepted that the amount of pork had been decreasing over the past two days.
Gu Jin carried the bamboo basket on her back and said to the child who sent her out the door, "Study hard at home and wait for me to come back."
"good."
An Mingji pursed his lips tightly and responded, looking very well-behaved.
The child was so well-behaved that Gu Jin's heart softened. She turned around and chased after her aunt and cousin.
As he watched her walk away, the obedient look on An Mingji's face disappeared completely.
His eyes became deep, with a darkness that did not belong to his age.
These days he has been eating and drinking well at Gu's house. He doesn't have to do anything, and no one beats or scolds him.
All this is because of Gu Jin.
He wanted to do something to repay the other party, but he was powerless.
His little hands clenched into fists, and there was a flash of unwillingness in his eyes.
After all, he is too weak and can't do many things, but he will definitely not always be so useless.
An Mingji turned around and went into Gu's house, then went back to his room to review seriously.
Although he understood all the knowledge in the textbooks, even the middle school textbooks.
Gu Jin followed his aunt and cousin to Qingluan Mountain and found that many people from the same village were there.
When my aunt saw so many people, she found a piece of land with abundant wild vegetables and started digging vegetables with my cousin.
Gu Jin walked up the mountain carrying a bamboo basket.
She came not to dig wild vegetables, but to look for ginseng in the deep mountains.
In her previous life, she only knew the general idea but not the exact location. I hope she will have better luck and can find the location of the ginseng.
Ginseng likes cool places, so it seems she has to go deeper.
As the number of trees increased, Gu Jin saw a bamboo grove with pointed wild bamboo shoots sprouting from the roots.
Those wild bamboo shoots have just emerged from the ground not long ago, and they are very fresh and delicious when stir-fried.
Gu Jin stopped and used a small flat shovel to scoop up some wild bamboo shoots that had just emerged and put them in a bamboo basket.
You can take these wild bamboo shoots home and stir-fry them for your kids. Bamboo shoots are very nutritious, especially wild bamboo shoots, which contain very high nutrients and trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron.
After digging wild bamboo shoots, Gu Jin continued to walk deeper into the ground. She encountered many wild vegetables along the way, but she did not stop.
Gu Jin stopped when passing by an open space covered with moss and surrounded by wild vegetables.
She stared at the red beads hanging on the branches above the green leaves. They were wild ginseng.
Gu Jin walked over, picked up a small shovel and started digging the soil from the roots.
