Chapter 522 Picking Wild Vegetables (23)

"Hey! Be careful next time, don't go up the tree without the help of adults, you know?" Zhang Feng returned the kite to the duckling, and then told him in a acknowledgment of his master.

"Hee hee, got it, madman brother!"

After getting the kite back, the little guy was all smiles on his face, and ran to the river beach jumping and jumping.

"Hehe, this little guy!!" Seeing the little duck so happy, Zhang Feng also laughed infectedly.

I can't help but sigh in my heart, it's better to be a child, I am happy every day, carefree, without the troubles of life.

……

"Yiyi, old man, grandma Liu, where are you going?" When I got back to the door, I saw Yiyi and grandparents appearing on the side of the road carrying bamboo baskets.

"Hee hee, we are going to pick wild vegetables!" Seeing Zhang Feng Yiyi was also very pleasantly surprised.

"Do you want Xiaofeng to go together??" The old man asked with a smile.

"Okay, wait for me, I'll go back and get a vegetable basket."

Speaking of which, Zhang Feng immediately ran into the yard, and soon ran out with a vegetable basket.

Spring returns to the earth, and everything recovers.

On the whole wasteland by the river, there is a side of green everywhere, like a green carpet, extending into the distance along the river bank.

Looking from a distance, I feel refreshed and my spirit has improved a lot. I have to say that spring is indeed the most favorite season. Not only the scenery is charming, but more things give people a kind of life force, recovery strength.

"A lot of water celery!!" Walking to the bank of the river, a green and lush water celery appeared in front of everyone. Grandma Liu couldn't help exclaiming, and then her face showed joy.

Water celery is a very common wild vegetable near Moon Lake. It is named water celery because it grows by the ditches and in the fields.

In fact, water celery is not only different in taste from celery, but also in appearance. There is almost no connection between the two except for the name.

Cress, also known as wild celery, is an aquatic vegetable that grows by ponds, rivers and paddy fields.It tastes delicious, has high nutritional value, and contains a variety of trace elements and proteins. Eating more has the effects of lowering blood pressure, blood lipids, clearing away heat, and diuresis.

From winter to spring every year, water celery matures. Spring water celery grows more lushly and is more tender. Every year at this time, villagers always pick a lot of it home, clean it, and make sour celery.

Every time you eat, take out a small bowl, dip it in water, um~ the taste is indescribably sour.

Of course, in addition to being soaked in sauerkraut, water celery can also be boiled in water, and some are even fried. There are many ways to eat it, but Zhang Feng’s favorite is to make sauerkraut.

"Hehe, this is a good thing. Eating it often can also lower blood pressure!!" The old man said with a smile.

"Grandpa and grandma, shall we pick them?"

"Pick it, why don't you pick it, the sauerkraut made from water celery tastes so good!" the old man said with a smile.

After speaking, the four of them started working together. I have to say that there are really a lot of wild celery by the river, and they are almost flooded. As far as the eye can see, there are all these things beside the river ditch, a large area of ​​lush greenery.

"Okay, just eating celery is not enough, let's pick some plectrum and shepherd's purse." After a while, everyone picked a lot, so the old man reminded with a smile.

"Okay, there are many below the root of the side ear." Zhang Feng smiled and pointed to the lower reaches of Xiaohe.

"Hee hee, let's go quickly!!" Yiyi smiled, carrying a basket, and took the lead to walk downstream.

……

"Wow! There are so many psilocybins!!" On the soil slope by the river, there are all psilargins densely packed,

The young red-purple leaves look extraordinarily attractive. Thinking about the taste of making it into cold salad, everyone can't help but drool.This is a good thing for cold salad.

Pleurotus chinensis is rich in nutrients and has a relatively high value for use. Not only that, its leaves can also be served cold, and the rhizomes can be fried and eaten.

Cold side ear root, fried bacon with side ear root, these two dishes are famous local dishes, and the locals like it very much. Many people will stir-fry a plate when they hold a wedding, and they are all eaten every time, which is very popular with everyone.

"There are so many, why no one came to pick them?" Yiyi asked curiously.

"There used to be a lot of people picking it. At that time, you couldn't find many around here. If you want to eat pianergen, you have to go farther to find it." Zhang Feng said with a smile.

"Then why are there so many now?" Before Zhang Feng finished speaking, Yiyi interrupted Zhang Feng and asked.

Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu smiled similarly. They must all know the reason for this, but they didn't say anything.

"Hehe, everyone used to be poor. This wild Pleurotus chinensis is not cheap. It can be sold for four or five yuan a catty, so everyone digs up the Pleurotus chinensis around the village."

"But now, everyone is busy tending the vegetables in the field every day, and the rest of the time they have to take care of the fruits in the orchard. How do you have so much time? Besides, now that everyone has made money growing vegetables, who cares about it?" The income of three to five yuan..." Zhang Feng explained with a smile.

"So that's the case!!" Yiyi nodded, and finally understood that it was not what she thought, it was related to the environment, but to the income of the villagers. Everyone made money, so they didn't like this The income of three melons and two dates.

Fortunately, Zhang Feng brought a small hoe, otherwise he could only pick the leaves of Pleurotus chinensis, because the rhizomes of Pleurotus chinensis are buried in the soil.

"Hee hee, the lunatic asked me to try!!" Seeing that Zhang Feng could dig a lot of ears with a single hoe, Yiyi said excitedly.

"Wow! There are so many, hee hee lunatic, look, I have dug so much!!" As the number of diggers has decreased, the number of pectinosaurs on the slope has also increased, Yiyi finished a lot with two hoes, Le Deyiyi cried out happily.

After digging a lot of pectin, we set off again. On the hillside not far from the river, there are many wastelands. These places are the places with the most wild vegetables.

Shepherd's purse, amaranth, dandelion, scissors, bamboo leaf vegetables, plantain, etc. Almost everything that grows in the ground can be eaten, but everyone has not fully developed it.

"Crazy brother, sister Yiyi..."

"Grandpa Liu, Grandma Liu..."

Seeing Zhang Feng and the others picking wild vegetables by the river, Mao Ya and Xiao Shitou happily ran over.

"Hey! Mao Ya, you little stones are here!"

Seeing the two little guys, everyone was very happy, with smiles on their faces. I have to say, kids are the joys of adults. Seeing them, everyone became happy.

"Aren't you flying kites by the river? Why did you come here?" Zhang Feng asked with a smile while picking wild vegetables.

"I...my brother and the others didn't want to play with us, so Xiao Shitou and I came here!" Mao Ya said in a tender voice.

"Hehe, if he doesn't let you play, you will sue your dad when you get home, and let your dad beat him up!!" Zhang Feng bewitched with a smile.

Seeing Mao Ya nodded seriously.

Yiyi smiled and said, "You madman, you are so bad, you actually taught Mao Ya to sue."

"Hey..." Zhang Feng also laughed.
