Surprisingly, the one that looked like monkey leg vegetable was actually also a wild vegetable, called cat's ear fern. It is said to taste very good, and because of its high nutritional value, the supply and marketing cooperatives buy it at a very high price, second only to the young shoots of prickly ash.
However, he also picked out a lot of leaves of unknown origin, which were not the elm leaves and straw leaves that Lu Xia had thought.
Fortunately, because they were unsure, they didn't pick much.
The people at the educated youth site were envious when they saw that they had even picked the rare young thorny buds, but they also set their sights on continuing in the afternoon, intending to pick more during the holiday.
Lu Xia and the others also planned to continue climbing the mountain in the afternoon. It was a rare opportunity and they were quite interested in it.
However, their luck was not so good in the afternoon, but they still picked a lot. The main reason was that they could recognize them quickly and did not hesitate when they saw them.
After a busy day, the two gained a lot.
In the evening, Lu Xia blanched the wild vegetables, set aside some for herself, and placed the rest in the yard to dry.
Jiang Junmo looked at Lu Xia placing the wild vegetables directly on the courtyard wall, hesitated and said: "Will they be taken away?"
Lu Xia was stunned. "That shouldn't be the case. Didn't every household in the village go up the mountain today?"
...
...
Jiang Junmo thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the village tomorrow and buy a few drying baskets. Actually, I looked at them and they shouldn't be difficult to weave. I can weave them myself when I get some tree branches."
Lu Xia shook her head. "Let's buy it. We still have to work now. It's too much work to weave it. It's not expensive. We can buy two winnowing baskets later."
Jiang Junmo nodded, "Okay, then buy it, and I'll edit it when I have time later."
"good."
In the evening, the two of them ate fresh wild vegetables. They didn't cook them much, just blanched them in water and dipped them in sauce. The sauce was egg sauce made by Lu Xia. The educated youth said that this was the best way to eat it and it would retain the most flavor of the wild vegetables.
Lu Xia took a bite and found it indeed delicious. No wonder so many people like it.
So I plan to take the opportunity to get some more, and then send some back to the Jiang family.
The next day, before going to work, Lu Xia went to the village to buy a drying basket and a winnowing basket. When he came back, he put the wild vegetables in the basket to dry. If the sun was strong today, they would probably be almost dry.
After work in the evening, Lu Xia took a look and found that it was almost done, so he put it away directly.
Then he thought that he hadn't eaten meat for a long time and he didn't buy any yesterday, so he asked Jiang Junmo to ride his bike to the town to see if he could still buy some now.
Jiang Junmo rode his bike back in less than half an hour, and to his surprise, he had bought it.
"It's all lean meat. The fat meat was taken away this morning, leaving only the lean meat."
Lu Xia smiled, "Lean meat is better, I like lean meat."
Nowadays, most people like to buy fatty meat because it is oily and greasy, but Lu Xia can't get used to it because it is too greasy.
Jiang Junmo laughed after hearing this. Of course he knew Lu Xia's hobby. He himself didn't eat much before due to health reasons. He couldn't eat much fat or lean meat. After his health improved, he was fine, but influenced by Lu Xia, he also liked to eat lean meat more.
So the amount of meat I bought was just right.
Lu Xia stewed some meat in the evening. After the two of them had a hearty meal, Jiang Junmo said, "When I came back, I saw some educated youth coming back from the mountains."
“Ah? They’re going up the mountain in just a short while?”
"Maybe he wants to pick more wild vegetables."
Lu Xia thought for a moment and said, "I haven't been too tired at work recently. Let's take a look at it after work tomorrow. If it's still early, let's go. After all, this is the only time of the year when we can have this opportunity."
Jiang Junmo knew that she wanted to get more to send back home. He wanted to ask her not to work so hard, but he knew her thoughts and insistence, so he could only nod.
"Okay, but your health comes first."
Lu Xia smiled, "Okay, don't worry, I won't let myself get tired."
