Chapter 14 Picking Goji Berries

After putting the wild duck eggs in the bamboo baskets, the sister and son walked up the mountain slowly. This season is when the fields are busy with farming, and everyone in the village is busy working in the fields, and few people go up the mountain.What's more, there is nothing good on this mountain. Although the mountain is not big, the forest is quite deep. There are no special hunters in Linjiaao, so there are fewer people going up the mountain.

Lin Yuan's family has no land, and the Lin family hasn't separated yet, so naturally they won't be given a piece of land.But Lin Yuan made up her mind that if she didn't want to separate her family, she had to take care of their family of five, and if she wanted to separate, she had to provide something.

The sister and son had no tools, they just took a sickle when they went out, so they didn't dare to go deep into the mountains.But just entering the mountain has already had good luck.Lin Yuan looked happily at the several large wolfberry trees in front of her. The huge red fruits were very gratifying.Now is the time when goji berries are fruiting. This goji berry is a good thing. Not only can it be soaked in water to make soup, but it can also be used as medicine. If these goji berries are picked and dried in the sun, and sold to the pharmacy in the town, they will definitely make a lot of money.

Lin Yuan seemed to see a lot of money flying in front of her, and laughed happily.Seeing the silly look of the eldest sister looking at the wolfberry with shining eyes, Lin Wei knew what the eldest sister was planning, so she quickly grabbed the elder sister's arm and dragged her forward desperately.

"Elder Sister, you can't ask for these red earrings. The old people say that they are the favorite food of snakes. We can't compete with snakes for food, otherwise we will attract snakes into our house!"

Red earrings is what people here call wolfberry. They don't know the scientific name of wolfberry, and they probably don't know that wolfberry can be used as medicine and sold for money.Lin Yuan understood in her heart, no wonder the goji berry grew in such a conspicuous place, yet there was no trace of it being picked, so no one wanted it at all.

Speaking of which, this wolfberry is still a good thing. Although it is not delicious when it is first picked, it tastes sweet after drying. More importantly, wolfberry nourishes the kidneys and liver, nourishes the lungs and improves eyesight. All kinds of effects that she couldn't describe.

However, hearing Lin Wei's words, Lin Yuan was also a little confused. If the doctors in the town didn't know that goji berry could be used as medicine, then her way of making money would be cut off.

Forget it, pick it back first, even if it can't be sold, she can still put some in the soup, because several people in the family need to eat something good to nourish their bodies.

"Big sister, this red earring is a good thing. I remember listening to Brother Chen Zhu talking about it. People with knowledge call it goji berries. It is also written in the book that eating it can nourish the body. Let's pick some back and give it to our father and mother." It could not be better."

"But..." Lin Wei looked at the lush wolfberry tree timidly, not because she didn't believe what the elder sister said, but because she was a little afraid of what the old people said.

Lin Yuan knew what she was afraid of. This elder sister was timid, so it would be good if she was willing to accompany her up the mountain today. If she was asked to get closer to pick the "snake's food", it would be like letting her snatch it from the snake's mouth. , she must not dare.

"This red earring is not like what the old people say is snake food. Snakes eat mice." Lin Yuan let go of Lin Wei's hand. Although she knew that her words would not necessarily dispel her younger sister's concerns, she still had no intention. Give up picking goji berries: "If you are afraid, wait for me here."

Lin Wei still wanted to stop her, but what the elder sister said didn't seem like a fabrication, and the elder sister heard what Zhu Zige said, and Zhu Zige was the most knowledgeable person in Lin Jia'ao, so what he said must be right.

Thinking of this, Lin Wei plucked up her courage, and followed in the footsteps of the elder sister: "Elder sister, what you said is right, I am not afraid, I will pick it with you, and when I go back, I will make up for my mother and father, so that my mother can give birth to a little brother." .”

Hearing her younger sister's words, Lin Yuan chuckled: "Oh, my eldest sister is really not ashamed, she even said she had a younger brother."

When Lin Wei heard her sister making fun of herself, she immediately withdrew her hand picking the red goji berries, her little face was even more red than the goji berries: "Eldest sister, you, you just laugh at me."

"Hahahaha." Looking at her coquettish appearance, she suddenly felt like a rich and evil young man who specially molests women from good families, her laughter couldn't be held back immediately, and she started giggling while clutching her stomach.

Lin Yuan first took out the wild duck eggs from the bamboo basket and put them on the soft grass leaves, then picked some clean leaves and put them in the bamboo basket, and then put the wolfberries in. , and must not be crushed, otherwise the dried wolfberry will not look good, and it will look dirty.If the pharmacy lowered the price for this reason, then she would lose more than she gained.

The two sisters were picking wolfberries while laughing. This piece of wolfberry is really big enough. It took almost half an hour for the two of them to pick more than half of it.

"Okay sister, there are so many red earrings here, and people in the village don't know how good they are, so let's pick these first, and we have to go up the mountain later to see what else we can collect." Nothing." Lin Yuan wiped off her sweat, and the two of them picked up half of the bamboo baskets together, which is quite a lot.

Lin Wei was still a little apprehensive when she first started picking goji berries, but after picking them for a long time, she didn't see any snakes running out to stop them from picking goji berries.Hearing what the elder sister said, Lin Wei stopped and wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeve: "Elder sister, I ate a red earring just now, it seems a bit sweet, but it's not too big, this thing can really nourish the body ?"

Lin Yuan found a shady place to sit down, and fanned the wind with her sleeve: "Of course, even if you don't believe what Big Sister says, you should believe what Brother Zhuzi said."

I thought that Lin Wei would adore the most learned person in Lin Jia'ao, but she didn't expect Lin Wei to curl her lips and snorted, "I only believe what the elder sister said, not him. He also said that he would wait for him to find out what he said." I came to marry my eldest sister when I became the number one scholar, but I secretly heard from my mother and father that Brother Zhuzi doesn’t seem to be able to be admitted to the number one scholar, and even if he is admitted, he may not be able to marry... Elder sister, I, don’t you Sad, I'm not..."

Lin Wei had a great time picking goji berries today, she didn't control her mouth for a while, she quickly waved her hands and looked at her elder sister worriedly, in the past whenever she said something bad about brother Zhuzi, elder sister would get angry, she just hoped that elder sister would not be so angry It's better to blame the mother.But she didn't see the eldest sister defending Chen Zhu as before, but continued to fan the wind with a smile: "It's okay, anyway, I don't like him anymore, and I also think he is such a bad boy." It doesn't look like the fate of an official, but it's a bit of a soft meal, haha."

Lin Wei didn't understand what it meant to eat soft rice, but seeing that the eldest sister was not angry and her face didn't change, she felt relieved.The two sisters rested for a while, and planned to go up the mountain to have a look before the sun was too high. Unexpectedly, just as Lin Yuan stood up, she saw Lin Wei's face was pale and her lips were trembling.Looking at the situation, it's very bad!
