Chapter 149 Digging Wild Vegetables



When she heard that they were going to make wild vegetable dumplings, Sun Laidi, who was the most skillful at digging wild vegetables, puffed out her chest. She was the most skillful at digging wild vegetables and she was the main force in this job.

Is it true that Yi Qingqing’s limelight is finally coming to an end?

Sun Lai Di felt that her ability to pick wild vegetables was much more important than Yi Qingqing's noodles, which were only popular for a short time. Yi Qingqing, a girl from the city, might not even be able to recognize all the edible wild vegetables!

She couldn't help but ask, "Where's the loach? Isn't Yi Zhiqing good at cooking loach? Why don't you make some for everyone to taste tomorrow?"

Yi Qingqing glanced at her and said, "I can do it, but I can't catch it. How about Aunt Sun help me?"

"If you want to do it yourself, of course you have to catch it yourself!" Sun Lai Di snorted.

Aunt Guihua slammed the table and said, "Sun Lai Di, are you still excited? According to your logic, you go to dig wild vegetables and make the wild vegetable dumplings tomorrow by yourself?"

Sun Lai Di finally stopped talking, but still muttered quietly: "Does she know how to pick wild vegetables? We can't rely on her to dig wild vegetables!"

Yi Qingqing smiled, "I'm sorry to disappoint you again, I really do know you!"

The three of them carried their backpacks to the back mountain and started picking wild vegetables. Sun Lai Di kept stealing glances at Yi Qing Qing. Unexpectedly, Yi Qing Qing actually recognized the vegetables and was more skillful at digging them than she was.

She immediately encouraged herself secretly, thinking that she, Sun Laidie, must not lose her title as the best at picking wild vegetables!

Of course Yi Qingqing knew that she was competing with herself. She picked the fruits so fast on purpose just to stop her from looking at herself and get back to work.

After all, these wild vegetables cannot be stored for too long. Those picked today must be cooked and eaten tomorrow. They can only be kept overnight at most, so the amount of wild vegetables needed each day is limited.

It’s enough as long as the total amount reaches a certain level.

If Sun Laidie works harder, she and Aunt Guihua and Aunt Dongmei will be able to relax a little.

As they dug, the group dispersed and Yi Qingqing saw pheasant droppings on the ground.

She followed the trail and saw a hen sitting on eggs.

She looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so she even clicked on the skill teaching mode to check.

If there are people watching around and she chooses to enter the skill teaching mode, the sign-in system will give her a prompt, suggesting that she enter when no one is around.

Yi Qingqing regarded this as a free anti-peeping artifact.

Draw the bow and shoot the arrow in one go.

He put away his hunting bow, ran over, picked up the chicken and put it in his backpack.

There were five pheasant eggs left.

Yi Qingqing thought about it and put the egg in her arms instead of putting it in her personal space.

Sun Laidi was just saying that Yi Qingqing was nowhere to be seen, wondering if she had gone somewhere to stay away from others.

Yi Qingqing came back and pretended not to hear what Sun Laidie said. She only dared to say some harmless bad words like this.

"Aunt Guihua, Aunt Dongmei, I just saw a pheasant. I didn't catch it, but I found its nest and picked up five eggs! I can make egg drop soup for everyone tomorrow!"

When they heard there was a pheasant, several people came over to take a look.

"Wow, it's true!" Aunt Guihua said after taking a look.

Sun Lai Di felt like she was slapped in the face. She just said that the person was away from home, but the next moment he brought back five eggs.

These eggs beaten into soup are not enough for everyone to have a bite of egg drops, but they are eggs after all, even egg stars are still eggs!

"It's hard to catch wild animals in the mountains. They will run away as soon as they hear a noise. You are really lucky to have encountered a hen sitting on eggs. The chicken can run away, but the eggs cannot!" Aunt Dongmei also said.

This young educated youth is a lucky person! She has been married to Xiangshui Village Brigade for so many years, and has gone up the mountain to collect wild vegetables and firewood countless times, but she has never picked up an egg.

Although her situation was not normal, others had picked it up before, but how long had Xiao Yi been here as an intellectual?

Before she had even dug up a few handfuls of wild vegetables, she had already picked up a nest of eggs.

Section 91

Yi Qingqing left the egg outside simply because she felt that everyone's autumn harvest was too hard, and for her own safety, she couldn't provide any other support. However, this egg, which anyone could have the opportunity to pick up, did not pose any hidden dangers and could be taken out.

These five eggs may not play a big role, but at least everyone can have a sip of hot soup with egg stars while swallowing the wild vegetable dumplings.

After digging wild vegetables for half a day, we had enough.

The amount of wild vegetables in Yi Qingqing's backpack was about the same as that of Aunt Guihua and Aunt Dongmei, neither more nor less.

Sun Laidi was carrying the sturdiest basket of wild vegetables, her chin almost raised to the sky, like a triumphant rooster.

Yi Qingqing found the look on her face a little funny.

This person seemed a little unintelligent, but it was thanks to her that they were able to finish work early.

So he teased her, "Aunt Sun, your ability to pick wild vegetables is really as good as it is said to be, fast and good!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Laidie glanced at her awkwardly. The sun was rising from the west, and this little vixen also knew how to praise herself?

The weasel pays a New Year's greeting to the chicken, but he has no good intentions!

There must be some mystery in these words that she didn't understand!

No matter how I tasted it, I couldn't tell anything was wrong. Was she really praising herself? Was she impressed by her own skill in picking wild vegetables?

Yi Qingqing watched her expression change, frowning and smiling, thinking: Is it that serious? Isn't it just a compliment? Picking wild vegetables is not very strenuous, but bending over all the time can hurt your waist! It is not impossible to make the horse run and not eat grass at the same time. As long as the horse is a show-off and strong one, praising it a few times can also motivate it to keep working hard and keep running.

Several people put the wild vegetables in the canteen, and today's work was almost done.

Meanwhile, work in the fields is still going on!

Aunt Guihua asked Yi Qingqing to go back and rest early, because they would not have two days of free time like this. In two days, all the sweet potatoes in the field would be dug up, and after the four of them finished their work in the afternoon, they would have to help push the sweet potatoes over night.

The team planted two crops of sweet potatoes, one was spring sweet potatoes and the other was wheat stubble sweet potatoes. The harvest time was more than a month apart. The autumn harvest started with the spring sweet potatoes and ended with the wheat stubble sweet potatoes.

After the spring sweet potatoes are harvested, they are flattened into slices on a sweet potato scraper and then dried into sweet potato chips. The sweet potato chips are ground into powder and called "mixed noodles", which is also the main food for people. The sweet potatoes from the wheat stubble are stored in cellars in the winter, to be eaten in winter and to grow sweet potato seedlings in the spring of the following year.
