The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 9 Wild Vegetables
Yao Yu hurriedly grabbed Wang Fengzhen, "No need, Sister Fengzhen, I'm really in trouble, I'll go to you for help."

Seeing that Yao Yu insisted, Wang Fengzhen didn't say anything, and sent Yao Yu to the door of Xie's house before returning, but she was still cursing the Xie's group of people.

Seeing Yao Yu's return, Nuo'er hurriedly carried Dandelion to the back of the house, explaining to Yao Yu, "After you left, Daddy set up a stove behind."

Waiting for Yao Yu to go to the back of the house and look, isn’t it? It’s a simple stove cut out of stones, and the fire inside has already started. Yao Yu washed the dandelions and put them in a basin. There is no condiment. , had to stir fry.

"Mother, what is this?" Nuo'er asked curiously, she had never seen this kind of food before.

"This is called Dandelion." Yao Yu answered patiently.

Xie Zhimo said on the side, "It's very useful."

"What's the use of it?" Nuo'er was still a child, naturally curious.

Xie Zhimo said, "It can be used as medicine, it can clear away heat and detoxify."

Nuo'er stared at the green grass-like thing, and said, "Then I'll eat more later."

Yao Yu didn't expect Xie Zhimo to understand this, so that's fine, as long as he doesn't think he's feeding pigs, he can explain it.

When Nuo'er was eating, her face was wrinkled, "Bitter."

"There is a saying that good medicine tastes bitter." Xie Zhimo patted Nuo'er on the head, "This bowl must be finished."

The three of them were eating happily, when Song appeared out of nowhere, "Oh, come and see, someone is stealing food."

Yao Yu had long been displeased with people like Mrs. Song who wished for peace in the world, so she put down her bowl and chopsticks, stepped forward and slapped Mrs. Song's mouth, "I think second sister-in-law's eyes are useless, why don't I just take them out for you?" Alright." Saying that, Yao Yu went to get some firewood from the side.

Mrs. Song was stunned by the beating, and when she came back to her senses, she saw Yao Yu holding firewood and trying to poke her eyes, and ran away in fright.

Looking at Song's back, Yao Yu said, "It's a sin, a sin."

Some time ago, her patience had already reached its limit, and now Yao Yu doesn't rely on them to decide life and death, so what is there to endure? Besides, for this kind of person, the more cowardly you are, the more she will bully you.

Xie Zhimo said with a smile, "Second sister-in-law is such a virtue."

Although Mrs. Song ran away, she recruited Mrs. Liu. Seeing the dandelions left in the pot, Mrs. Liu realized that she had been bluffed by Mrs. Liu. Youyan, "Who allowed you to use this pot?"

Yao Yu almost bit her tongue. She saw this pot when she came to Xie's house. The old ones can't be old anymore, and they have been piled up in the corner. It seems that Mrs. Liu deliberately found fault. Xie Zhimo said angrily, "What do you mean by that, mother?" , are we still a family?"

"Oh, your child is killing my mother." Sitting on the ground, Mrs. Liu began to cry, "I only asked why you used the pot, but you want to separate the family. I'm going to Lizheng for comment."

When Yao Yu heard this, she felt that Mrs. Liu seemed to want to separate the family, but Mrs. Liu said that it was a good idea to find Lizheng. The last time I met, I knew that Lizheng in Shuangshui Village was a very fair person. Thinking of this, Yao Yu got up Go out to the yard.

"The third one, where are you going?" Seeing that Yao Yu was about to leave, Mrs. Liu quickly sat up from the ground.

"Didn't mother say that I should go to Li Zheng for a review? I think this is a good idea. I'll go to Li Zheng." Yao Yu said with a sincere face.

Mrs. Liu almost spit out a mouthful of blood. She didn't know who it was. All these years, seeing them knowing the text made them feel all kinds of uncomfortable, and what good would it do to let him come, "What are you calling him for? You guys are here to make a fuss I don't even care about it."

Yao Yu sneered, this Liu family is really thick-skinned, "Mother, Zhimo's leg is injured, it seems that the doctor needs money, the money should be paid by you, since you don't want to pay, of course I have to find Li Zheng and my fellow villagers Let's talk about it."

Seeing that Mrs. Liu remained silent, Yao Yu continued, "Of course, there is also the fourth brother. He has read the holy books, so it is understandable."

If Mrs. Liu wanted to say no, she would definitely have to involve Xie Zhiwen, so she could only say, "I just want the pot, I just want to use it for you."

The tone was like charity, and Yao Yu didn't bother to answer. Seeing Liu Shi leave, he turned to Xie Zhimo and asked, "Do you know all the wild vegetables in the mountains?"

Xie Zhimo nodded, "At this time, in addition to dandelions, there should be Patrinia, wolfberry teeth, broom vegetables and mountain lettuce."

Yao Yu recalled seriously, but he didn't know any of them.

"How about this, when you go to the mountains later, pick one of every wild vegetable and I will teach you how to identify it." Xie Zhimo secretly made up his mind that after his legs are healed, he must make good money so that Yao Yu's mother and child can live happily ever after. Live well.

"it is good!"

This is a good way. Yao Yu was about to go up the mountain again, but Xie Zhimo stopped him, "You have a rest, I will weave you a basket, so you can take it with you." Just now Yao Yu came back with a dandelion in his arms. Xie Zhimo came back yesterday I saw some bamboo in the kitchen, weaving a basket is not a problem.

"I'm not tired." Yao Yu put away the bowl, "Then you make it up first, I'll go to the river to wash clothes and still have the bowl."

No matter what Nuoer said, she would go to the river with Yao Yu.

"You two go, I will weave the basket when I come back." Xie Zhimo said.

Because it was summer, Yao Yu insisted on bathing with a towel and changing into clean clothes every day even though she had injuries on her body, which caused Nuoer to develop the habit of going to bed after washing.

They didn't have many clothes, and Xie Zhimo's clothes were the dirtiest among the three of them. They probably hadn't been changed for a long time because of the rush.

The laundry woman in the village by the river saw Yao Yu dragging Nuo Er over, and asked, "Big sister, I heard that Xie San is back from your family?"

Seeing that the man's expression seemed to be the same, Yao Yu replied, "He's back."

"That's a good relationship." The man said with a smile, then stopped asking questions and concentrated on washing the clothes in his hands.

Seeing that Yao Yu was so easy to talk to, other people by the river asked, "How much money did Xie San make this time?" Although Xie Zhimo didn't do anything good, he earned a lot. The whole Shuangshui Village is watching what it looks like now. With Xie Lao San, Xie's family began to build a house, Xie Lao Si started to go to school, and passed the entrance examination for Tongsheng.

Yao Yu smiled and didn't answer. Someone in the crowd snorted disdainfully, "Of course we have to cover this dirty money."

Yao Yu raised her head, "It's just like your mouth, auntie, right?"

The crowd around the river laughed loudly, the man blushed from choking, and didn't reply a word for a long time.After Yao Yu finished washing, he led Nuo'er back, but the person who was choked by Yao Yu just now stared at the backs of the two viciously, as if he wanted to swallow them alive.

After Yao Yu finished drying the clothes, he entered the house. Xie Zhimo's basket had already been woven to the end, "I'm back, the basket will be woven soon."

Yao Yu stared at the basket, her eyes were full of surprises. At first she thought that Xie Zhimobian's basket would be the traditionally large one, but she didn't expect the basket in front of her to be so exquisite.

The bottom is round, the middle is trapezoidal, and the top is covered with a lid, which means that Xie Zhimo is weaving the tie for the basket.

"Okay, I don't have enough materials, so I can only make one like this." Xie Zhimo was obviously a little dissatisfied with the basket in his hand.

Yao Yu picked up the basket and took a good look at it. It would be considered pretty in modern times. "It's very pretty, I like it very much."

Xie Zhimo instantly became happy, "I will make up a better one for you later."

"Okay." Yao Yu replied with a smile.

With a basket, it was much more convenient to pick things. Yao Yu picked one of the different kinds of wild vegetables on the mountain, and then returned by the same way.

Xie Zhimo was a little surprised to see Yao Yu came back, Nuoer said happily, "Mother, you are really coming back soon." Nuoer wanted to follow Yao Yu up the mountain, Yao Yu said that he would come back soon, so he would not take Nuoer with him Unexpectedly, Yao Yu came back in less than half an hour.

Yao Yu found that the body after time travel seems to have a very good memory. Although it cannot be said that it has an unforgettable memory, it can still remember a lot.

Yao Yu handed the basket to Xie Zhimo, Xie Zhimo opened the lid of the basket, poured out all the wild vegetables, and began to teach Yao Yu to identify wild vegetables.

"This is Patrinia." Xie Zhimo took out a green plant in the shape of a corymb from the wild vegetables, "it smells a bit unpleasant when you eat it."

"The one that looks like an arrowhead is the lettuce, and the flowers that bloom are lavender." Xie Zhimo said while revealing the arrowhead-like leaves.

"The round ones are wolfberry buds. We like to eat these when we go out. They are bitter at first and then sweet, so they are also called beet teeth."

Xie Zhimo rummaged through it a few times, and took out another wild vegetable that looked like a broom, "You can tell it's a broom vegetable just by its shape."

Yao Yu wrote down these wild vegetables one by one.

"The rest can't be eaten." Xie Zhimo saw that Yao Yu was listening seriously, and explained with more effort, "When my hind legs are easier in the future, I will take you to the mountain and teach you how to identify them."

Yao Yu also became interested, but now is really not the time, "Don't worry, by the way, you still need to see a doctor for your leg injury."

"It's okay, it will be fine after a while." Xie Zhimo said indifferently.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to Shangyao Village to have a look." Yao Yu said, Shangyao Village, which is half an hour away from Shuangshui Village, is much richer than Shuangshui Village. If there is no doctor in Shuangshui Village, there should be one. Tomorrow, she will ask Sister Feng Zhen for help. .

After Yao Yu memorized several edible wild vegetables, he went up the mountain with a bamboo basket, and when he came back, the basket was full of all kinds of wild vegetables.
