Yellow beard vegetable is a wild vegetable that has become popular on the dining tables in the Yellow River Delta region and even in Tianjin and Beijing in recent years.
One of Song Shiwei's food-themed episodes was about delicious recipes for various wild vegetables.
So when she saw this wild vegetable for the first time, she felt that it looked familiar.
When I got closer and took a look, I remembered that this was yellow beard seaweed.
It is just bigger and fatter than the modern yellow beard seaweed.
Nowadays, many people are tired of eating big fish and meat, and wild vegetables have become a delicacy instead. Therefore, the wild vegetables in many places have been almost dug up.
This yellow-bearded vegetable grows in saline-alkali land. It is rich in vitamins and minerals, and can lower blood pressure and blood sugar. It is a rare wild vegetable.
Now is the season for fresh fruits, and when Song Shiwei came across them, he naturally wanted to pick more.
This thing is delicious when it is cooked. It is very tasty and nutritious!
Zhou Cheng watched her digging this thing, somewhat confused.
"Our family isn't so poor that we have to eat wild vegetables, right?"
Song Shiwei was busy with his hands and didn't have time to look at him, but deep down she wanted to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson.
"Our family is able to eat and wear clothes because your father has a salary. But as you just heard, many villagers here can't even get enough to eat. They have no choice but to eat these wild vegetables to fill their stomachs. I wonder if you know the idiom "In times of peace, be prepared for danger."
Zhou Cheng shook his head silently.
Zhou Lin said directly: "I don't know!"
Song Shiwei patiently explained to them while digging wild vegetables: "This idiom comes from Zuo Qiuming's Zuo Zhuan, the eleventh year of Duke Xiang of Xiang. It means that even in a safe environment, we should consider possible dangers. Considering dangers will help us prepare for them. By preparing in advance, we can avoid disasters!"
Seeing Zhou Lin and Zhou Cheng lost in thought, she curled her lips into a smile and continued, "Even though your father has a salary now, you have to know that the military profession is very dangerous. Every time they go on a mission, they risk their lives. It's also very noble. They are willing to sacrifice everything, including their own lives, for the country and the people!"
"What if, and I mean what if, one day your father is gone? What will you do? So, we can't just enjoy our current wealthy life. Only by enduring hardship can we enjoy happiness! And cherish everything we have now!"
After saying that, Song Shiwei didn't look at them again. After all, she didn't expect them to understand these profound truths overnight, but she hoped to influence their outlook on life and values subtly!
She doesn't ask them to become good people who are kind and generous. As long as they don't do anything that harms society and the people in the future, she will be extremely satisfied!
But what she didn't expect was that although Zhou Cheng was the most rebellious, after hearing what she said, he thought about it for a while and actually squatted down to help her dig wild vegetables.
Although Zhou Lin didn't quite understand what he was saying, he saw his brother digging and hurriedly followed suit.
Song Shiwei looked at the two busy figures and felt very relieved.
This kid is teachable! He is a good kid!
After digging a full basket of yellow-bearded seaweed, Song Shiwei continued to take the two children to the woods in front to collect firewood.
The two children were quite capable. They each picked up a bundle, tied them into two piles with hemp rope, and prepared to carry them on their backs.
Song Shiwei hurriedly stopped him.
With sparkling eyes, she asked Zhou Cheng, "Where was the place where you picked up sea duck eggs last time? Let's go check it out first!"
Zhou Cheng knew at a glance what she was up to.
"You can't just pick up these sea duck eggs if you want to. It depends on luck!"
Song Shi smiled with his eyebrows curved: "I know, but I've always been lucky, maybe I can run into him again!"
Zhou Cheng had no choice but to let Zhou Lin watch the firewood while he led her over.
Thinking about it, he just picked it up a few days ago, how could she possibly come across it again!
Unexpectedly, as soon as Song Shiwei parted the reeds in front of him, he saw a wild duck laying eggs with its butt sticking up!
Zhou Cheng: “…”
What kind of luck did she have?! How could such a coincidence happen to her?
Even picking up a duck egg is warm!
Song Shi smiled excitedly and rubbed his hands together, lying quietly on the side and waiting patiently.
I saw the wild duck in front of me lay an egg and then flapped its wings and flew away.
As soon as it left, Song Shiwei discovered that there were still several sea duck eggs in the wild duck's nest!
She counted them, there were six in total!
So many, it’s great!
She walked over quietly and gently put the six eggs into her arms!
Remember this place secretly, it is the wild duck's nest, maybe she will come again tomorrow.
Zhou Cheng saw her arranging something with stones on the land next to her.
When Song Shiwei came out, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
Song Shiwei smiled complacently and told him his plan to collect eggs.
"This is a wild duck's nest. I'll leave a mark here. Come check it out every day. Then there will be a constant supply of wild duck eggs to pick up, right?"
Zhou Cheng: “…”
It seemed to make sense, why didn't he think of it?
She handed him the six duck eggs and asked him to put them away, and then she searched bit by bit along the reed marsh.
You won’t believe it, but she actually found a few wild duck nests.
There are duck eggs in every nest, some are quite a lot, even more than a dozen!
Since he couldn't take all of them at once, Song Shiwei marked each one.
She also didn't want the wild ducks to become extinct, so next time she came, she planned to bring a flashlight and shine it on each duckling one by one. She would take away those that were not fertilized and put the fertilized ones back to continue hatching ducklings.
When they returned, Zhou Lin discovered that his brother and Song Shiwei each had more than a dozen wild duck eggs in their arms! His eyes widened immediately.
"Oh my god, are you guys going to rob the wild ducks? You can't leave unless they lay an egg!"
Song Shiwei was amused by him and laughed out loud, "Puchi!"
Zhou Cheng looked at her helplessly.
He said helplessly, "You're not wrong. They did go to rob the wild ducks. Someone robbed the duck nests one by one!"
"Oh my god! That's too awesome..."
He looked at Song Shiwei with admiration. How could this woman be so powerful? She even destroyed her nest!
But what made him even happier was that he had wild duck eggs to eat today!
On the way back, Song Shiwei carried duck eggs and a backpack full of wild vegetables, while Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin each carried a bundle of firewood, and the three of them returned to the family compound one after the other.
As a result, as soon as I arrived at the gate of the family compound, I saw a circle of people gathered at the door.
Some people were still shouting something.
The three of them felt nervous and ran forward quickly.
Pushing through the crowd, I saw Zhou Wei standing at the door holding his sister, crying with tears and snot.
"Bad guy! Go away! You are a bad guy!"
