The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 4 Wild Vegetables
Li Chunhua heard Han Qianluo's surprised voice, thought she had found some treasure, and hurried over: "What did you find?"

Han Qianluo carefully dug out the purslane among the weeds, and said, "I found a wild vegetable." When Li Chunhua saw the wild vegetable, she felt that she had been cheated, and said sullenly: "I thought I found some treasure."

For Han Qianluo, digging wild vegetables in the wild, not vegetables grown by himself, feels like winning a lottery ticket, no matter how much it is, it feels like getting something for nothing, picking up money, which is very pleasant.

Han Qianluo happily dug up the purslane, put it in his basket, and said, "I didn't grow it myself, isn't it worth being happy?" After speaking, he stood up and continued to look for wild vegetables.

There are trees everywhere on this mountain. Some are older and grow thicker, and of course there are more trees that have only grown for a few years.Han Qianluo felt that with so many trees, there might be some fruit trees in them, and when they were found, there would be fruits to eat.

But unfortunately, Han Qianluo did not find any fruit trees, but saw a Chinese toon tree.Han Qianluo is not familiar with the toon tree, she only knows that the shoots of the toon tree are edible, and they are quite delicious.

In his previous life, Han Qianluo often saw articles reporting the benefits of wild vegetables, and he also deliberately searched for knowledge about wild vegetables.It's just that time has passed so long, many of them have been forgotten, and only a few very special wild vegetables are still remembered, such as hibiscus flowers, elm money, wolfberry and so on.

However, Han Qianluo looked at the toon tree in front of him, which was at least ten meters high, and wept silently in his heart.

Although Han Qianluo is also a child in the countryside, she has never had anything to do with climbing trees since she was a child.When I was young, several children of the same age played together, and sometimes it was inevitable that they would climb trees, but other children could climb up, but she alone could not climb up.

"Xiao Luo, what are you standing here looking at?" Li Chunhua walked back and asked.

Han Qianluo pointed to the tree in front of him, and gave a random reason: "I smell this tree has a scent, so I stand here and take a look."

Li Chunhua came forward to smell it curiously, and said with some doubts, "Why didn't I smell it?"

"Probably your nose is not as good as mine." Han Qianluo said casually.

Li Chunhua looked at the tree in front of her again, and said, "Don't look, we think we should look for wild vegetables, otherwise Zhao Qin and the others will finish looking for them in a while."

Han Qianluo felt very strange, why Li Chunhua didn't seem to know that toon sprouts could be eaten, don't people nowadays know that toon sprouts can be eaten?

"Chunhua, can you climb trees?" Han Qianluo asked.

"What tree to climb?"

Han Qianluo pointed to the toon tree in front of him, indicating that she was this tree.Li Chunhua shook her head and said, "Shorter trees are fine, but this tree is too tall to climb. Xiao Luo, what are you going to do to climb up, and now there is no fruit, and its fruit can't be eaten."

Since Li Chunhua didn't know that toon sprouts could be picked, Han Qianluo would not tell her that if one more person knew that toon sprouts could be picked, there would be fewer toon sprouts, so he said perfunctorily, "It's nothing, let's continue looking for wild vegetables."

Li Chunhua didn't ask any more questions, and the two continued to look for wild vegetables.Han Qianluo reminded himself in his heart, remember to ask Sanwei or Han Qingquan to pick the toon buds together later.

As Han Qianluo walked, he used the branches to push away some grass to prevent any wild vegetables from being mixed in the weeds.Pushing aside the grass again, I found a few shepherd's purses inside.

Han Qianluo hurriedly dug up these shepherd's purses. This food can be eaten in a variety of ways. It can not only be fried, but also cold, made into soup, dipped in sauce, cooked in porridge, especially wrapped in wontons. They are all very delicious.

Han Qianluo still remembered that when he was young, every spring, his grandma would go to the fields to look for shepherd's purse, and then come back to make wontons for himself, and even thought it was better than meat.

Han Qianluo was reminded of these shepherd's purses, especially the deliciousness in his memory, and he couldn't wait to eat it now.In the following time, Han Qianluo, who was only thinking about eating shepherd's purse, focused on looking for shepherd's purse, and other wild vegetables were not important for the time being.

However, shepherd's purse is really not suitable for growing on the mountain. Although Han Qianluo was looking for shepherd's purse with all his heart, he didn't see shepherd's purse for a long time afterwards.

Han Qianluo searched carefully bit by bit, hoping to find wild vegetables again.But after walking a few steps, I saw some upright stick-like things inserted into the ground, the top end curled inwards into a ball, green and oily, it was bracken.

Han Qianluo is very familiar with bracken, which grew everywhere in her hometown in her previous life.Han Qianluo often saw a few women get together and go up the mountain to dig bracken.

The bracken in front of Han Qianluo's eyes at this moment still had fine hairs on its stems, and the young leaves had just grown out, curled up into a ball, not stretched out, and it was time to pick them.Han Qianluo carefully picked the bracken and put it in the basket.

After that, Han Qianluo still didn't find many shepherd's purse, but he did find a lot of bracken.Basically most of the baskets are bracken.

However, Han Qianluo didn't dislike eating bracken. On the contrary, she thought bracken was quite delicious.Whether it's simple cold salad, stir-fried, or stewed soup, Han Qianluo thinks it's delicious.

When Han Qianluo and the others went up the mountain, they searched all the way up from the front. At this time, they had already found the location of the top of the mountain. They just found half of it, and they still didn't find the half of the mountain behind.

Han Qianluo was looking for wild vegetables carefully, when he heard Li Chunhua's surprised voice not far away: "Xiao Luo, come and see."

Han Qianluo, who didn't know why, hurried over, and when he saw the reason for Li Chunhua's surprise, he suddenly felt black lines all over his head.The reason why Li Chunhua was so pleasantly surprised was because she saw a flowering tree, Azalea.

Li Chunhua happily picked off a branch of azalea, and handed it to Han Qianluo: "Isn't it beautiful?"

Han Qianluo didn't understand at all, isn't it just an azalea, what is there to be happy about.However, in order not to hurt Li Chunhua, Han Qianluo praised against his will: "It's really beautiful."

"You can pick one back too." Li Chunhua said.

As soon as Li Chunhua's words fell, a girl's eccentric voice came from beside her: "If you don't know, you don't know. A flower is so happy."

Han Qianluo just thought the voice was a bit familiar, but before he realized who it was, he heard Li Chunhua next to him say angrily, "None of your business."

Han Qianluo turned his head to look at the girl who was speaking. It turned out that Lizheng's daughter, Zhao Qin, was looking at Han Qianluo and the two of them with a proud face.

Beside Zhao Qin, there are several other girls who are all about the same age, about twelve or thirteen years old.Except for Zhao Qin, all of them were wearing black linen clothes.

The imperial court has regulations that civilians can only wear black and white clothes.As for Zhao Qin, her father is Li Zheng, barely out of the category of common people, so only her family can wear colored clothes.

Before Zhao Qin could speak, a girl named Taohua next to her pulled her arm and said, "Aqin, let's go, don't talk to such ignorant people." There was a hint of persuasion in her tone.

After Zhao Qin heard this, the expression on her face softened a little. Unexpectedly, another girl with a pointed face said, "Aqin, look at them, they clearly look down on you."

Han Qianluo was really speechless about this kind of blatantly provoking dissension, and at the same time she was a little puzzled. According to the memory of the original owner, she and Zhao Qin didn't have any big conflicts. At most, there were some quarrels. .

However, although Han Qianluo felt that such sowing dissension was really mentally handicapped.But obviously, for someone like Zhao Qin, such a simple strategy can work.

Zhao Qin listened to the pointy-faced girl's words, and snorted coldly with disdain and said, "Hmph, I don't care if they look down on such bumpkins."

Although the original owner had had conflicts with these people, Han Qianluo didn't have much feeling for these people, as if he was just a stranger he met on the street, so he was not angry at what they said .

However, Han Qianluo wasn't angry, but Li Chunhua couldn't. Hearing Zhao Qin's words, he became angry: "We are bumpkins, but you are also bumpkins."

Zhao Qin was just disdainful before, not angry. After hearing Li Chunhua's words, she said angrily: "You are not bumpkins. Have you ever been to the county government? Do you know what a rich family looks like?"

Zhao Qin's words immediately blocked Li Chunhua's mouth, making her speechless, and could only stare at Zhao Qin bitterly.Seeing that Li Chunhua had nothing to say, Zhao Qin was satisfied, and left with arrogance.

During this process, Han Qianluo remained silent, quietly acting as the wallpaper.She didn't think there was any point in showing off her tongue at all, she might as well do something practical to make these people envious.

"Let's go, let's go back too." Han Qianluo said.

Both of their baskets were almost full, Han Qianluo's basket was mostly bracken, while Li Chunhua's basket had a little bit of everything and nothing in the majority.

Li Chunhua saw the wild vegetables in Han Qianluo's basket, took out a bracken, and said in surprise, "Xiao Luo, why do you pick so many of these things?"

"What's wrong?" Han Qianluo asked puzzled.

"This thing is inedible." Li Chunhua said, "Take these things out and throw them away." As he said that, he was about to throw away the bracken in Han Qianluo's basket.

Han Qianluo quickly took the bracken from Li Chunhua's hand and put it into his basket, saying, "This thing is edible, and it's delicious."

"Really, why have I never heard of it?" Li Chunhua looked at the bracken in Han Qianluo's basket and asked suspiciously.
