Chapter 166 The mountains are full of treasures, you can never pick them all, you can never pick them all~
There are so many good things on the mountain.
Jiang Rou had just picked the bitter thorn flowers when she turned around and saw the broom flowers.
【Gorse flower illustration】
The gorse is easier to recognize than the bitterbroom, as it is a field of small golden flowers.
The branches of the tree are not very high, only about waist-high. The small golden flowers are blooming like waves on the edge of a reef.
The flowers of the broom are long and thin, with most of the petals drooping downwards, but one special petal is curled upwards.
The flowers look even more golden when they are placed in the sunlight.
Looks very delicate.
Like a canary in the woods.
That's why it's called gorse.
Unlike bitter thorns, gorse is sweet.
No special processing is required, you can eat it freshly picked and you can immediately taste the sweetness like honey.
Jiang Rou ate several of them in succession, and her tongue was filled with the sweet taste.
She used both hands to pick broom flowers.
In a short while, the golden flowers had become a dense pile.
besides.
Jiang Rou was still near the top of the mountain when she saw the pear blossoms.
The flowers of the pear tree are white, somewhat similar to peach blossoms, with very beautiful five petals and tiny stamens.
There is an ancient saying that "the pear tree is covered with snow", which refers to the pear tree flowers.
The flowers are also edible.
Jiang Rou went up the mountain from this side of the slope and went down the other side.
And got a different harvest.
At first glance, she saw a tall, dense tree, and also saw small green, light-colored, red, or purple fruits hanging on the branches.
It's mulberries.
【Mulberry illustration】
The mulberry tree is a treasure from head to toe. Not only are the purple fruits sour and sweet and edible, but even the leaves of the mulberry tree are treasures as well.
The ancients grew mulberry trees and raised silkworms relying on these.
Jiang Rou was pleasantly surprised.
She picked a large leaf from a nearby tree, placed it in the palm of her hand, and used the same technique as making rice dumplings to shape the leaf into a cone.
Then pick ripe purple mulberries from the mulberry tree, pick them one by one and put them in the big leaves.
Mulberries are very easy to stain, so they should be kept separate from other things.
After picking some mulberries.
Jiang Rou started picking mulberry leaves in large handfuls again, and she was even happier than picking fruits.
While picking mulberry leaves in my hands, all I could think about was the recipe.
Mulberry leaves can be fried, and the steps are similar to Japanese tempura. After washing the mulberry leaves, coat them with a thin layer of batter and then fry them in a pan.
When you take it out, it's crispy and fragrant.
It can also be eaten cold, stir-fried, or made into mulberry leaf cakes, mulberry leaf tofu, and mulberry leaf jelly.
【Various ways to eat mulberry leaves with pictures】
Mulberry leaves can clear away heat and reduce internal heat, remove acne and lower blood lipids.
If it is made into mulberry leaf mint ointment, it can kill bacteria and reduce inflammation.
As the weather on the island gets hotter, it is very good to eat and use some mulberry leaves.
Jiang Rou was so excited in picking them that she could hardly move her legs.
It will be a while.
Jiang Rou continued to walk down only when the backpack on her body was almost filled with mulberry leaves.
Along the way, she even met Raspberry.
Raspberries have even more nicknames, some are called mountain raspberries, some are called raspberries, and in some places they are called yellow bubbles.
The fruit of raspberries looks somewhat similar to the wild strawberries we saw before, but unlike wild strawberries that crawl on the ground, raspberries grow on trees.
Raspberry trees also have thorns.
The colors of raspberry fruits include orange and light yellow, and some are pink.
Although the colors are different, the taste is similar.
They are softer and a little more sour than wild strawberries.

Jiang Rou followed the same method as before and made a cone with the big leaves, just like the peanuts and melon seeds sold in the cinema, and put the berries inside after picking them.
After picking two full bags.
She was finally satisfied.
"Okay, let's go down the mountain!"
Jiang Rou had a bright smile on her face. She didn't feel tired at all as she carried her backpack on her back. She walked down with brisk steps.
During this period.
Of course Jiang Rou also placed all these plants into the Lingbao space.
It feels like collecting samples for backup.
The backup can be multiplied indefinitely, so you can take it out whenever you want to eat it.
Even if tomorrow were the end of the world, she would have nothing to be afraid of.
My mind is full of wild ideas.
Jiang Rou quickly returned to the hillside.
"Xiaohua, Xiaochuan, I'm back."
Jiang Rou waved at the two children from a distance.
Zhou Xiaohua and Zhou Xiaochuan were still in the starting position. Zhou Xiaohua was probably staring at the tempting little red fruit and was completely unable to move.
Because……
I can’t finish eating it. I can’t finish eating it.
How can you leave without finishing your meal?
Jiang Rou saw the two children, looking brand new and adorable, standing in the sunshine.
The little mouth is full of food and the little face is dirty.
One of them held a large leaf in his hand and fanned the other one.
Zhou Xiaochuan wanted to take Zhou Xiaohua to rest under the shade of a tree, but just after he pulled her over, Zhou Xiaohua ran out again after only a few minutes of rest.
One little hand on the left and one on the right.
And put a few in your palms.
That's a little glutton~ or a little greedy ghost~
Zhou Xiaochuan really couldn't pull her away, and his sister-con nature broke out, so in the end he just stood in the sun with Zhou Xiaohua.
In order to prevent Zhou Xiaohua from getting heatstroke, we had to fan her constantly.
Several hours passed like this.
Both children's faces were covered with glistening sweat.
But at the same time, his eyes were sparkling, and he looked excited and happy.
Jiang Rou came closer, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, wiped their sweat and their little mouths.
"Is it really that delicious? Why don't you take a break? Xiaohua, you've eaten so much, be careful not to miss your lunch."
It’s terrible!
And lunch!
When Zhou Xiaohua heard that there was still lunch, she immediately reached out and touched her belly.
It's round, but fortunately not completely bulging.
If there is no bulge, it means there is still room in the stomach and you can eat lunch.
【Xiaohua can have lunch! 】
Zhou Xiaohua smiled with her eyes curled up, and patted her belly with her little hands, looking very proud.
At this moment.
Zhao Guifen's voice came from not far away.
"Sister Rou, come and have a rest and have lunch——"
"Okay - Sister Guifen, I'll be right there -"
Jiang Rou put her hands to her mouth and answered in that direction.
She glanced around and saw many of her sisters-in-law, but she didn't see Song Qingqian.
Where is Song Qingqian?
Jiang Rou looked around but didn't see anyone, so she could only lower her head and ask Zhou Xiaochuan, "Xiaochuan, have you seen your Aunt Song?"
Zhou Xiaochuan thought about it and pointed in a direction.
"Auntie Song was there the whole time. I saw her just now, but now she's gone."
Jiang Rou looked in the direction Zhou Xiaochuan pointed, and found that it was next to a small stream in the mountain ravine.
This was the place where Jiang Rou first took Song Qingqian and asked her to dig wild vegetables.
It seems that Song Qingqian stayed in that area for the entire morning and did not move.
But where is she?
