The grapes are not purple; they are green-skinned and not very big.
Xiang Wanwan picked one and put it in her mouth. The first taste was sour, followed by the sweetness of grapes. The skin was very thin and crisp, and the taste was not bad.
These wild grapes are not as sweet as cultivated ones, but they are pesticide-free, making them quite precious on an island where there is no fruit.
There are two grapevines, and the main stems are very thick, so they must have been growing for a long time. The grape vines are twining around the tall palm tree next to them, and there are many bunches of green grapes hanging on the vines, which look very tempting.
Xiang Wanwan picked all the grapes and put them into the basket. A few minutes later, the basket was full, but there were still many grapes left to be picked.
She looked at the grapes in front of her and sighed.
If only we could bring the grapes back!
We'll build a grape trellis next to the pavilion, so we can eat grapes without even leaving home.
Moreover, grapes can be used to make wine.
However, with such thick vines, it would be difficult for her to carry them back by herself, especially since there were still so many grapes left to be picked.
She decided to go back first and then invite Sister Wang to come and pick some more in the afternoon.
Protecting the country and defending the country will definitely love these grapes!
Xiang Wanwan not only harvested a lot of grapes, but also matsutake mushrooms and straw mushrooms, and even got some wild vegetables for Peiqi.
She returned the way she came, satisfied.
When she got home, she gave some grapes to Wang Sao. The two children hadn't come home from school yet, and only Wang Sao was home.
Aunt Wang was busy making pancakes in the kitchen.
"Wanwan's here! Come and try my pancake. I put some minced meat and chopped green onions in it."
There was a plate of meat patties next to the stove, and Xiang Wanwan didn't stand on ceremony and reached out to take one.
One bite, and the aroma of meat and scallions fills your mouth.
Aunt Wang stared at her, waiting for her feedback.
A smile played on her lips, and her eyes narrowed slightly in enjoyment. "Sister-in-law, this is so delicious!"
"Your cooking skills are truly amazing!"
Hearing the praise, Sister Wang laughed and replied, "That's right, the pancakes I make are the best in our village."
Xiang Wanwan gave her a thumbs up and continued to flatter her, "Sister-in-law, you could sell these pancakes; someone would definitely buy them!"
"Then forget it. We only have this much food at home, not even enough for ourselves."
Xiang Wanwan thought about it and agreed.
Trade on the island relied entirely on barter; people were lucky if they could even get enough to eat.
If the island can achieve self-sufficiency and grow rice and wheat, then there will be no shortage of supplies, and perhaps trade will gradually develop.
Furthermore, given the current tense situation, once the islands are liberated and their connections with the outside world increase, commerce will gradually develop.
At that time, Wang Sao will be able to support herself with her two children by making pancakes.
However, this is just Xiang Wanwan's idea.
It's too difficult to achieve this!
Xiang Wanwan also stuffed one of the grapes she had brought into Wang Sao's mouth.
"Sister-in-law, have a taste. I went out and found some grapes today. I brought some over. The child will definitely love them."
After saying that, she ate one herself.
After taking a bite, Sister Wang felt terrible.
Her face contorted in shock, and she gasped.
"Ouch~ It's so sour! It's too sour."
She looked at Xiang Wanwan's expressionless face with slight surprise.
"Don't you find it sour?"
"It's not sour! I think it's alright, it'll get sweeter if you eat more."
Aunt Wang looked at her with a mischievous grin, "Wanwan, are you pregnant?"
Xiang Wanwan was stunned.
Then she immediately retorted, "That's not true, sister-in-law."
Given Lu Jingnian's situation, even if she wanted to, she couldn't do it!
She and Lu Jingnian are sleeping in separate beds now, and she doesn't know if he's feeling any better or if he's still impotent.
When Wang Sao saw that she said no, she didn't continue the topic.
