    ?

    Xie San shoved the money to himself with a cold face, and after a dispute, the two left without saying a word The scene did not appear.

    Lin Ranran stood on the ridge empty-handed, watching Xie San pull wild vegetables.  Xie San was a tall man, but he didn't look embarrassed at all when he buried his head in pulling wild vegetables. Instead, he was indescribably agile and capable.

    The field is fertile and moist, and the purslane grows extraordinarily tender, but the root of the purslane is firm and not easy to tear. Lin Ranran only managed to pick less than a handful after spending half a day just now. Xie San moved quickly  , After a while, he tore out most of the basket of purslane.

    Lin Ranran couldn't stay idle, so she pulled out a few wild garlics, but Xie San threw them out without looking up.

    Lin Ranran: "!!!!!!"

    "That can't be eaten." Xie San seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and spoke before Lin Ranran got angry, almost choking her to death.

    "You can only eat this kind." Xie San found some wild garlic and showed it to Lin Ranran, "The one you pulled out just now will be poisoned if you eat it."

    Only then did Lin Ranran realize that she had wronged Xie San, but luckily she didn't curse.  This kind of wild garlic looks like shallots, also known as wild onion, thief garlic, and grows in clumps everywhere.  The smell of wild garlic is more pungent than shallots. It is a delicious dish after cooking, and it is rich in calcium, which is very suitable for children and the elderly.  Lin Ranran quickly pulled out several clumps of wild garlic, tied them up with wild grass and put them in a basket.

    Xie San picked a few green bamboo shoots and handed them to her, Lin Ranran wondered: "There are whip bamboo shoots at this time? Isn't this stuff only available in April?"

    Xie San said: "This is Maozhen."

    Lin Ranran still didn't understand.  Xie San peeled off the green skin of the needles, revealing the white cotton-like stuff inside: "Sweet."

    Lin Ranran took it suspiciously and took a bite. The cotton wool inside the needles was like soft sugar cane, and sweet juice overflowed after chewing: "It's so sweet!"

    Lin Ranran's eyes were curved, and the joy in his eyes was unmistakable.  Obviously she has so many delicious things, but she still smiles because of this sweet weed. The corners of Xie San's lips twitch unconsciously, revealing a shallow smile.

    The thatch needles are so delicious, of course Lin Ranran wanted to bring them back to Xiaoqiu Xiaojing to taste, and she buried herself in the thatch to find them.  Thatch needles are actually the ears of thatch grass, which are so thin that it is difficult to distinguish where is the grass and which is the ear.  Lin Ranran pulled out several leaves that were all inedible, which made her angry and funny.

    "Why can't I eat it, bah bah bah" Lin Ranran spat out the thatch leaves.

    Turning his head, he met Xie San's eyes. He was actually laughing?  Are you laughing at yourself?  Lin Ranran raised his eyebrows, and before he could speak, Xie San spread out his big hands, on which lay a handful of fresh and tender grass needles.

    "Brother Xie San, you know a lot." Lin Ranran turned back into anger in an instant, and the quick change of face made Xie San secretly speechless. She took the opportunity to ask humbly: "What wild vegetables do you know? Teach me."

    In the vegetable market that Lin Ranran often visited in his previous life, when spring came, farmers nearby would pick some wild vegetables to sell.  But there are only a few kinds of shepherd's purse, purslane and wild garlic, and she doesn't know the others.  Seeing her asking, Xie San pointed out to her all the common wild vegetables.

    These days, farmers are having a hard time. The grain distributed in winter will be eaten up within the first month. In spring, they rely on the wild vegetables all over the mountains to supplement their grain and fill their bellies.  Tianshui Town is located in the south and is rich in products. There are more types of wild vegetables than other places.

    Not to mention purslane, shepherd¡¯s purse, and wild garlic, there are also dandelion, gray vegetable, bitter vegetable, plantain, wild baby spinach, Qiaogen garlic, soursop, small parsley, etc.  There are also ferns in the bushes.

    Hearing bracken, Lin Ranran's eyes lit up: "Where can we dig bracken in our village?"

    "Do you like food?" Xie San looked at her.

    "Well, bracken can be served cold, stir-fried, or hot pot." Lin Ranran nodded vigorously.  Bracken has a special fragrance and tastes crisp, tender and smooth, but it is a pity that it is not easy to cultivate artificially, and it will be dehydrated after leaving the root, making it difficult to preserve, and it will be sold very expensive in later generations.

    Xie San said: "To pick bracken, you have to go to the hillside behind the village. It's been raining and slippery recently, so don't go."

    Anyway, there are enough wild vegetables now, Lin Ranran agreed with a little regret: "Okay, then I won't go. Speaking of which, Brother Xie, you are really good, you know all kinds of wild vegetables."

    "When I was young, I didn't have anything to eat at home, so I had to think of ways. Not only wild vegetables, but also elm money and Sophora japonica flowers could be eaten when there was no food. In the years when I was born, even the willow leaves by the river were wiped out.  It's gone." Xie San said lightly.

    Lin Ranran froze for a moment: "I'm sorry."

    Xie SanyeIt's hard.  Let me save some food, I will bear with it today, and when I come back from digging wild vegetables in the mountains tomorrow, there will be more tricks on the table.  "

    "What? Wild vegetables? I don't want to eat that." Tiedan was the first to protest, "It's sour and bitter, how can I eat it?"

    In the past few years, the harvest was not good, and wild vegetables almost occupied the table of every household, and became half of the staple food.  Tie Dan still had a little impression, and frowned when he thought of it.  Even Lin Daguan said, "How can it be possible? There is a lot of rain this year, so there must be a lot of food."

    "How can you still tell lies? In the first month, a group of cadres from the city came to her house, and the young man from the city sent a few letters. She must know something!" Sister-in-law Hongxia told Lin  However, I firmly believe it.

    Of course Lin Daguan also knew about Lin Ranran's ability, he thought silently.

    At this time, iron eggs and iron cows protested: "Mom, you don't really want to give us wild vegetables, do you? I won't eat them!"

    "Huh? Don't you want to eat?" Lin Ranran walked in with a smile, holding two bowls in his hand, "Then I'll take them back."

    "Hey! Sister Ranran, what delicious food did you cook again!" Tie Dan Tie Niu slid over and circled around Lin Ranran.

    I saw a bowl of spicy fried purslane, and a bowl of cold shepherd's purse.  The leaves of purslane are fat and tender, green and purple against the bright red pepper, fried very crisp and tender, purslane has a sour taste, after processing by Lin Ranran, it is hot and sour and delicious, chewing it is full of fragrance.

    The method of shepherd's purse is simpler. Take off the old stalks of shepherd's purse, scald it in the water, remove and pinch the water, and pour seasoning on it, and the taste will not be mentioned.

    Two full bowls of wild vegetables were taken as snacks by the two children, and more than half of them were picked off in a short while.  Sister-in-law Hongxia pointed at her two worthless sons with a funny face: "Who said just now that you don't eat wild vegetables?"

    Tie Dan chuckled, not feeling ashamed at all.

    Sister-in-law Hongxia sent Lin Ranran out, and said in a low voice, "Ranran, I know there is a lot of wild vegetables in the back mountain, get up early tomorrow, and we will go together!"

    Once Hongxia's sister-in-law figured it out, her brain turned so shrewd.  It¡¯s not yet the first month, and in previous years, when the grain is almost bottomed out in February and March, and the spring grain has not been distributed, other people will go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables in large quantities.  She had to stock up a lot before the others reacted.  By the time those people reacted, they would have had enough.

    She is an expert in how to eat wild vegetables and save food.  In the first few years, wild vegetables were worth half of the grain.  Stroking elm money, digging wild vegetables, and boiling corncobs, this is how she dragged the whole family through it!

    As for other rations, there must be a way!  Hongxia's sister-in-law didn't realize that she had unconsciously regarded Lin Ranran, a fifteen-year-old girl, as her backbone.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
