The salted fish life of the lucky wife

Chapter 446 446, vitality

Qin Tianru was not noticed by anyone in the village during the two days she went out. After all, she has always lived at home and didn't like to hang around.

Therefore, even if they haven't seen her for two days, the villagers don't feel anything.

On the second day after Qin Tianru returned home, he followed Qi Qing up the mountain carrying a basket, deliberately showing his face in front of people.

In midsummer, the sun came out early, and the aunt and sister-in-law wore straw hats and walked up the mountain slowly.

"Hey, sister-in-law, have you noticed that there seem to be a lot of wild vegetables growing in this mountain?"

Qi Qing looked around carefully, and indeed found fresh and tender wild vegetables growing in several places, which surprised her a little.

After all, when they went up the mountain some time ago, many places were plucked bare, how long has it been, and so many wild vegetables have grown again.

Qin Tianru smiled knowingly, "What's so strange about this, have you ever heard an ancient poem 'Wild fire never burns, spring wind blows and regenerates', the creatures in nature are inherently tenacious, as long as there is a little bit of life in the soil, They’re tough enough to break through the ground.”

"Well, it makes sense. I was just a little surprised. I didn't expect it to grow so soon." Qi Qing was quite touched.

Qin Tianru smiled, "Perhaps God can't stand it anymore, and wants to leave a glimmer of life for the suffering people, but no matter what, it's a good thing, let's pick it up."

"Sister-in-law is right." Qi Qing smiled instantly, and also felt that she was thinking too much about nothing.

Sure enough, along the way, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law met several waves of wild vegetable picking teams. Obviously, everyone also learned that there were a lot of wild vegetables growing in the mountains, so they came to pick them specially.

There was a smile on everyone's face, everyone was talking and laughing, it was very lively and cheerful, and the melancholy in the eyebrows and eyes was also lighter.

The sister-in-law and the sister-in-law did not go to a crowded place, but took another route.

Qi Qing didn't have any objections during the whole process, and followed her sister-in-law submissively. Gradually, the two of them stayed away from other wild vegetable picking teams in the village.

"What are you looking at?"

Qin Tianru couldn't help but feel amused seeing Qi Qing keep looking around, as if looking for something.

Qi Qing whispered, "I'm looking to see if there are any pheasants and hares around here."

After all, when she followed her sister-in-law into the mountains, nine times out of ten she would encounter game. Now that they were gradually approaching the edge of the mountain, it was probably time for some wild animals to be brought up.

Hearing this, Qin Tianru couldn't help laughing, he dared to think this way.

She sees, it's probably because Xiaoqing is greedy. The few rabbits raised in the backyard were reserved for breeding, and they have conceived cubs a few days ago, so they must not be eaten.

During this period of time, all the meat eaten at home came from the pheasants raised in captivity, and occasionally the pork that my father-in-law brought back from the commune, but it was only a long and thin piece of meat, weighing at most half a catty.

This is all because my father-in-law works in the commune. With this convenience, I can say hello to the pig farm, but pork is in short supply and cannot be available every day.

However, the Qi family didn't plan to eat meat every day. Who made the current environment special? If their family ate meat every day, the look on their faces would not be able to hide it at all.

After all, everyone in the village has a sallow complexion and thin cheeks. This is what they should look like after a long time of not eating well. It doesn't look like their family. Mother and Xiaoqing are much rounder.

If you don't intentionally control your diet, it's not good to be too different from the villagers.

Therefore, during this period of time, their family only had a good meal every three to five times, but even so, it was much better than the life of the villagers.

Now the pheasant at home has been eaten up several times, and I haven't seen meat for several days.

"Then look carefully, I'm going to pick wild vegetables."

Qi Qing nodded and said, "Well, I'll watch carefully."

So, Qin Tianru went to the wild vegetable field not far ahead, where a small piece of daylily grew.

June, July and August are the best picking seasons for this daylily. It is a "treasure on the table" for improving intelligence and calming the nerves. It can be eaten or used as medicine, but it is best to eat it as a dry product. Stir fry and make soup.

Because fresh day lily contains colchicine, which is toxic to a certain extent. If it is not cooked properly or eaten in large quantities, it is easy to cause food poisoning.

On the other side, Qi Qing was still looking around, thinking about when wild things would arrive at her door.

Qin Tianru picked half a basket of day lilies and continued to move towards the next place. Since she knew her new skills, every time she went up the mountain, she would first find out the surrounding situation first, so that she could save a lot of unnecessary time and go straight to the mountain. destination.

"Xiaoqing, let's go!"

"Oh, here we come~"

Not seeing the wild animals, Qi Qing was very disappointed, but she quickly restrained her depression. Anyway, with her sister-in-law around, she wouldn't suffer no matter what.

Two or 300 meters away, Qin Tianru came to the second place.

"Sister-in-law, what is this?"

Looking at a large area of ​​purple flowers in front of her, Qi Qing turned to ask her sister-in-law.

Qin Tianru's eyes moved slightly, "It should be sand ginseng."

Frankly speaking, it was also the first time for her to see a blooming sand ginseng, and it was all thanks to her supernatural ability that she could recognize it.

This ginseng is a commonly used health-care medicinal material, and it is also a good product for nourishing yin and clearing away heat. In daily life, sun-dried ginseng is often used to make soup.

But fresh Adenophora ginseng can also be steamed, eaten cold, or used to cook porridge, just like yam.

However, this discovery made Qin Tianru feel delighted.

When I was having breakfast this morning, I heard that many people had started to run out of food, and now they were cooking soup with some vegetable leaves.

June, for ordinary people, should be the most difficult month, because many crops do not start to mature until after July.

Those who harvest later will have to wait until October, and those that can be harvested in July are considered relatively early harvests.

However, there is nothing in June, and he can only rely on the side to eat as the staple food.

I didn't expect to get a harvest from going up the mountain today. Although this sand ginseng can't be eaten as a meal, it is at least a kind of food to satisfy the hunger.

"Is this flower edible?"

Seeing her sister-in-law staring at the purple flowers, Qi Qing naturally thought that these flowers were edible.

Qin Tianru knelt down and pulled out a plant directly, only to see that the root under the flower stalk was white and shaped like a carrot, but it was a little thinner and longer than a carrot.

"The root is edible."

"Huh? Can this slender stick be eaten?"

Qi Qing was slightly surprised, seeing her sister-in-law holding the ginseng in her hand, she felt that the root didn't look delicious.
