It is not only delicious but also warming and nourishing. It is a great ingredient for hot pot and preserved food in winter.
With so many ingredients, we must collect them quickly to avoid wasting them.
Thinking of this, she quietly approached the reeds.
She looked around and scanned the surroundings with her mental power for safety.
After discovering that Ruan Zilong was the only one nearby, she extended her mental power again, covering the flock of wild ducks hiding in the reeds.
The wild ducks are not stupid either. When they sense danger, they will run away.
Ruan Mengmeng was not willing to give them any chance. She transformed her entire mental power into an invisible net, trapping all the ducks inside.
Without waiting for them to struggle or scream, she suddenly tightened her mental power, and in the blink of an eye, all the wild ducks disappeared.
All that was left was the empty reeds.
As the evening breeze blows, the reflections in the river sway and shine, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
Just like here, nothing happened.
After collecting the wild ducks, Ruan Mengmeng's consciousness entered the space and took a look.
There are a total of 32 wild ducks, most of which are adult wild ducks, weighing about three or four pounds each.
If there are wild ducks, will there be wild duck eggs?
A sudden idea came to Ruan Mengmeng's mind: salted duck eggs, salted duck eggs dripping with butter, so fragrant!
This time, Ruan Mengmeng scanned more carefully, mainly at the roots of the reeds.
Wild duck eggs should be there.
Sure enough, as she scanned carefully, she saw white wild duck eggs piled up in a nest.
Ruan Mengmeng was not polite at all and put everything into the space.
After collecting the things here, she looked around again.
This patch of reeds, large and small, is connected together into a large area, with about twenty of them.
Since we are here now, it is not easy to find prey, so we might as well collect them all.
She did as she said. She kept extending her mental power, scanning, covering, and collecting.
After repeating this several times, just as the sun was about to set, Ruan Mengmeng had collected all the wild ducks and wild duck eggs nearby.
Ruan Mengmeng was so busy that she didn't even have time to count the spoils.
After a final count, she was shocked.
There are more than 200 wild ducks and more than 100 wild duck eggs.
Sure, we have the ingredients to make salted duck eggs.
There are so many wild ducks, why don’t the villagers come and catch them?
On the one hand, wild ducks are rarely seen during the day and run very fast, making them difficult to catch.
On the other hand, wild ducks can fly, and they will fly away before you can catch them.
Besides, even if a wild duck weighing three or four pounds was caught.
I have to carefully find a way to get it back home.
If you are caught, you will be fleecing the collectivists and easily be caught and dragged away for criticism.
Many people would rather not eat this piece of meat than be reported or arrested.
If Ruan Mengmeng didn't have the space and the spiritual power, she wouldn't be able to catch a wild duck, let alone a duck feather.
Now that everything was in the space, she felt relieved.
Whenever you want to eat it in the future, you can just make it and eat it. It’s very convenient.
Once again, I sigh that space is such a good thing!
The wild ducks collected were also directly classified into an empty space.
It won’t have any impact on other things, it’s really convenient!
After collecting all the things, Ruan Mengmeng returned home with a full load.
Seeing Ruan Zilong standing next to the bamboo basket, she walked forward.
Squatting down, she reached out to scoop up the river water and continued to wash her face and hands that she had not washed before.
After washing, she took out a clean towel to wipe herself, picked up the bamboo basket on the ground and put it on her back, and picked up the sickle.
"Brother, let's go!"
Ruan Zilong never figured out what she did during the short time she was away.
However, he didn't ask any more questions.
When it comes to his sister's affairs, he is just curious at best and never asks too many questions.
"Um!"
Ruan Zilong hummed lightly and followed closely from behind. The two of them walked towards the farm in the setting sun.
Before going home, I must hand over the bamboo basket of pig feed that I picked in the afternoon.
Then, the sickle must also be returned to the agricultural tool registration office.
Ruan Mengmeng gained a lot and her mood improved.
As she walked, she hummed a little tune that Ruan Zilong had never heard of before.
When they arrived at the farm, the brother and sister met Xia Xiaojing and others who were also there to deliver pig feed.
"Mengmeng, why didn't I see you two this afternoon?"
Xia Xiaojing couldn't help but ask.
I didn't see Ruan Mengmeng and her brother for the whole afternoon. Could it be that these two people didn't go up the mountain at all?
"Oh, we went to the river to pick grass for pigs, not to the foot of the mountain!"
Ruan Mengmeng felt that there was nothing to hide, so she explained it casually.
"No wonder!"
Xia Xiaojing muttered.
Anyway, there are many people picking pig grass, so they don’t necessarily have to team up together.
Maybe these two siblings prefer places with fewer people!
Xia Xiaojing thought so in her heart and didn't ask any more questions.
"Sister Ruan, can we still pick pig grass together tomorrow?"
On the side, Xiao Chujiu, who had just handed in the pig feed, looked at Ruan Mengmeng expectantly before leaving.
This sister is much more powerful than Sister Xia.
Not only can he make a lot of delicious food, but he can also make slingshots for shooting birds.
"It depends. Sometimes we go a little late, so if we can meet, we can go together!"
From the day she decided to collect grass for the pigs, she never thought about getting up early and going to bed late.
Therefore, the time will definitely not be punctual, and it will be impossible to make any agreement with the other party.
"It's okay if we can't meet. We're all in the same village. If we want to meet, it's easy!"
Unable to bear rejecting the little boy, Ruan Mengmeng tried her best to speak more tactfully.
I hope he won't be disappointed or sad because of this.
"Okay Sister Ruan, I got it!"
Xiao Chujiu also understood that there were so many people and everyone had different living habits, and he could not force others to be like him.
We are all in the same village, so if we want to see each other, we can see each other anytime.
Thinking of this, he shook off the slight sense of loss and sadness and became happy again.
Sister Ruan is right. Maybe when we meet again one day, we can have fun together happily.
The pig feed was handed in and the work points were recorded.
The brother and sister said goodbye to Master Niu Er and went to return the sickle with Xiao Chujiu and Xia Xiaojing.
They were allowed to leave only after the registrar had checked that the sickles were intact.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark.
At the fork in the road, a group of people waved goodbye and went back to their respective homes and mothers.
A day just passed like that!
When the brother and sister were about to reach the door of their home, Ruan Zilong saw several people standing in front of the gate from afar.
