Chapter 139: Changing Vegetables



Fu Shinian and the others didn't see her when she left, so when they came to her house later to change the bowls, they saw the door was locked and were curious about where she had gone.

Tong Yiya stayed in the mountains until about four in the afternoon. She then came down the mountain carrying a basket of herbs. When she passed by the area where a house was being built, she stopped and took a look. It might take another day or two for the beams of their house to be put up.

Fu Shinian took the time to look at the roadside and saw Tong Yiya carrying a basket of herbs on her back. He wanted to say hello, but thinking that this might bring bad reputation to her, he held back.

Tong Yiya just took a look and continued walking towards her own courtyard. When she got home, she put the backpack under the eaves. She first poured some water to drink, then sat under the eaves and began to pick the herbs, sorted them, washed them simply and hung them up to dry. Those that needed to be prepared would be taken to the kitchen for processing.

After processing all the herbs, she looked at the time. It was almost six o'clock, so she went into the kitchen and simply cooked herself a bowl of noodles for dinner.

After dinner, she closed the gate and went back to her room to rest. Today, Fu Shinian and his friends finally made a pretty good dinner. At least it wasn't burnt and the taste was okay. The two were very satisfied.

The next day, Tong Yiya tidied the house as usual, dried the herbs, and went out to the mountains to dig herbs and pick mushrooms.

It has been quite humid in the deep mountains recently, so there are many edible mushrooms growing under the pine needles. Tong Yiya swallowed her saliva unconsciously when she thought about frying various mushrooms with animal oil.

She would bring back some more every spring. If they could be dried, she would dry them. If they couldn’t be dried, she would store them in space and secretly take them out to eat when she wanted to.

That day she went to a farther mountain. After reaching the top of the mountain, she went straight into the deeper mountains. When she saw that there were no signs of human footsteps around, she began to look for various herbs and mushrooms.

At noon, she found a place to sit in the mountains and took out hot cakes and water from the space as her lunch.

After eating and resting for a while, she continued to look for and dig herbs. It was around three o'clock in the afternoon before she put on her backpack and went down the mountain. On the way, she also picked up two nests of pheasant eggs, a total of more than a dozen eggs, which were enough for her to eat for a long time.

She was thinking about getting herself a steamed egg when she got home, so she happily walked down the mountain and headed towards the village.

When she was about to reach the foot of the mountain in the village, she met Dong Weibing and his partner who were out looking for wild vegetables. Tong Yiya thought that the two men couldn't even cook, so they might pick the wrong wild vegetables and get sick.

She found an earthen embankment and put her backpack on it. She sat down and rested for a while, watching the people looking for wild vegetables over there. From time to time, she could see them holding something and discussing it.

The distance was very close, so she didn't hear clearly what they were talking about. She only saw the two of them finish their discussion and put the things in their hands into the basket they brought.

After a while, they seemed to notice someone was looking at them, so they looked over. Tong Yiya smiled and said hello, "Fu Zhiqing, Dong Zhiqing, are you digging wild vegetables?"

"Yes, did Tong Zhiqing just come back from digging herbs?" asked Guard Dong.

"Yes, I'm tired from walking, so I'll just take a rest here," Tong Yiya replied.

Dong Weidong wanted to rest here for a while, so she didn't feel embarrassed. She came over with a basket and asked Tong Yiya which of the wild vegetables they dug were edible.

Fu Shinian also followed him. Tong Yiya didn't mind teaching them, otherwise if they got an upset stomach, she would have to treat it in the end.

After the two of them came over, she looked at the wild vegetables they had dug in the basket. It was really hard to describe. The two of them dug up some of the vegetables that looked like wild vegetables on the ground. Some of them were slightly toxic. Even the children who were picking grass for the pigs would not pick them back to feed the pigs.

She picked and chose in the basket, separating the edible ones from the inedible ones. She first explained the shapes of the inedible leaves to them, and then introduced several edible ones, which was a more detailed explanation.

After she told them all, she looked up at them and asked, "Do you remember it?"

"I remember it, but there are too few to eat. I said there are a lot of wild vegetables in this village," said Guard Dong.

"Yes, there are a lot, but you have to choose a place. If you are familiar with it, you can dig enough for the two of you to have a meal in an hour," said Tong Yiya.

"We wanted to dig some to give the workers some extra meals, but it's too difficult to dig. It's the amount of food for so many people. How long will it take for the two of us to finish digging?" Guard Dong replied.

Fu Shinian looked at Tong Yiya and then asked, "Tong Zhiqing, it will take several days for us to complete the construction of our house. We need to eat a lot of vegetables every day. We used to buy them from the commune, but it's not good to go to the commune every few days. How about you recommend a store in the village that can exchange vegetables?"

Tong Yiya realized that they came to dig wild vegetables because they had no vegetables to feed the workers. Thinking that the vegetables in her own yard could be harvested, and thinking that these two people were quite interesting, she said, "I have some at home, I'll chop some for you when the time comes. As for the others, you can go find the team leader if you need them, and tell him that he will help you find a solution."

When Guard Dong heard that they could exchange for vegetables, it meant that they didn't have to dig wild vegetables anymore, so he said happily: "Really? Thank you, Tong Zhiqing."

"You're welcome. I'll go back first. You can go pick some wild vegetables to help you remember more after learning," Tong Yiya said.

After saying that, he picked up the backpack, said goodbye to the two people and continued walking towards the village. The two thought that since they had come all this way, they couldn't just take some wild vegetables back.

The two of them definitely wouldn't do such a shameful thing, so after Deng Tong Yiya left, they went back to continue digging wild vegetables. Now that they knew how to recognize wild vegetables, they would be able to dig them a lot faster.

When Tong Yiya got home, she first processed the medicinal herbs. She sliced ​​those that needed to be cooked and steamed them. Then she took a sickle and a backpack and went to the vegetable garden to cut some vegetables, including some green onions, garlic, and coriander. She did not wash them, but put them in the basket. She placed it at the gate of the courtyard and went into the kitchen to check her medicinal herbs.

When Fu Shinian came over, Tong Yiya was still busy in the kitchen. When he entered the yard and saw no one, he shouted, "Is Tong Zhiqing home?"

Tong Yiya in the kitchen heard the voice, put down what she was holding, walked out and saw that it was Fu Shinian. She knew he was here to get vegetables, so she said, "I have already chopped the vegetables and put them at the door. You can take them back directly. If you need them later, come back and exchange them."

After Fu Shinian heard what she said, he glanced at the door and saw a basket of vegetables. He turned around, picked up the things in his hand as exchange, walked to the kitchen door, handed them to Tong Yiya and said, "Okay, this is for exchange, and I hope Tong Zhiqing won't despise it."
