"Hey, next time, pay attention, don't go up the tree without the help of adults, do you know?" Zhang Feng returned the kite to the duckling, and then confessed the Lord's advice.

"Hee-hee, I know the crazy brother!"

When he got the kite back, the little one smiled and ran to the riverbank.

"Hehe, this little guy!!" Seeing that the little duck was so happy, Zhang Feng was also infected and laughed.

I sighed in my heart, I am still a child, I am happy every day, carefree, and have no worries about life.

……

"Yiyi, where are you going, old man and Grandma Liu?" When I got back to the door, I happened to see Yiyi and her grandparents carrying bamboo baskets and appearing on the side of the road.

"Hehe, we're going to pick wild vegetables!" was also very surprised to see Zhang Fengyiyi.

"Do you want to go with Xiaofeng??" the old man asked with a smile.

"Okay, you wait for me, I'll go back and get a basket. ”

Saying that, Zhang Feng immediately ran into the yard and soon ran out with a vegetable basket.

Spring returns to the earth, and everything recovers.

The entire wasteland by the river is full of green, like a green carpet, along the riverbank, extending into the distance.

Looking at it from afar, I suddenly feel refreshed, and my spirit is a lot better, I have to say that spring is indeed the most favorite season, not only the scenery is charming, but more things give people a kind of life power, the power of recovery.

"That's a lot of water celery!!" Walking to the bank of the river, a field of green, lush water celery appeared in front of everyone's eyes, Grandma Liu couldn't help but exclaim, and then her face showed a happy color.

Water celery is a very common wild vegetable by the Moon Lake, because it grows on the edge of the ditch and in the field, so it is called water celery.

In fact, water celery not only tastes different from celery, but also has a big difference in appearance, and there is almost no connection between the two except for the name.

Cress is also known as wild celery, which is an aquatic vegetable that grows on the edge of ponds, rivers, and paddy fields. Its taste is delicious, the nutritional value is very high, contains a variety of trace elements and proteins, eat more has the effect of lowering blood pressure, blood lipids, clearing heat, and diuretic.

Every year from winter to spring, it is the time when the water celery is ripe, the spring water celery grows more luxuriant, and more tender, at this time of the year, the villagers will always pick a lot of it home, clean it, and make it into sour celery.

Every time I eat, take out a small bowl and dip it in water, well~ the taste is indescribably sour.

Of course, in addition to soaking it into sauerkraut, water celery can also be boiled in water, and even some are fried and eaten, there are many ways to eat it, but Zhang Feng's favorite is to make sauerkraut.

"Hehe, this is a good thing, and it can lower blood pressure if you eat it often!!" the old man said with a smile.

"Grandparents, are we going to pick them?"

"Pick, why don't you pick, sauerkraut made from water celery, it tastes good!!" the old man said with a smile.

After speaking, the four of them worked together, and I have to say that there are really a lot of wild celery by the river, and many of them are about to overflow.

"Okay, it's not enough to eat celery, let's go pick some side ear roots and shepherd's cabbage. After a while, everyone picked a lot, so the old man reminded with a smile.

"Well, there's a lot of it under the root of the ear. Zhang Feng smiled and pointed to the lower reaches of the river and said.

"Hee-hee, let's go quickly!!" Yiyi smiled, carrying the basket, and took the lead to walk downstream.

……

"Wow! There are so many ear roots!!" On the dirt slope by the river, it is densely packed with side ear roots,

The reddish-purple young leaves look particularly attractive, and everyone can't help but salivate when they think about the taste of making a cold salad. It's a great thing to make a salad.

The root of the ear is rich in nutrients, and there is a relatively high value, not only that, its leaves can also be mixed cold, and the rhizomes can be fried and eaten.

Cold salad side ear root, side ear root fried bacon, these two dishes are local famous dishes, the locals are very fond of it, many people will fry a plate of happy wine, every time it is eaten fine, very popular with everyone.

"It's so much, why doesn't anyone come to pick it??" Yiyi asked curiously.

"In the past, there were a lot of people picking them, but at that time there were not many people in this vicinity, and if you wanted to eat the root of the ear, you had to find it further away. Zhang Feng smiled and said.

"Then why are there so many now??" Before Zhang Feng could finish speaking, Yiyi interrupted Zhang Feng's words and asked.

Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu smiled similarly, they must have known the reason for this, but they didn't say it.

"Hehe, everyone used to be poor, and this wild ear root is not cheap, it can be sold for four or five yuan a catty, so the side ear root at the edge of the village has been dug up by everyone. ”

"But now, everyone is busy tending to the vegetables in the field every day, and the rest of the time has to take care of the fruits in the orchard, where do you still have so much time, and now that everyone has made money growing vegetables, who can still look at the ......income of three or five yuan," Zhang Feng explained with a smile.

"So that's the case!!" Yiyi nodded, and finally understood, it was not what she thought, it was related to the environment, but related to the income of the villagers.

Fortunately, Zhang Feng brought a small hoe, otherwise he would have to pick the leaves of the root of the side ear, because the rhizomes of the side ear root are buried in the soil.

"Hee-hee, the madman let me try!!" Seeing that Zhang Feng could dig a large handful of side ears with a hoe, he said excitedly.

"Wow!That's a lot, hee-hee madman, look, I've dug so many miles!!" As there were fewer people digging and more people digging on the dirt slope, Yiyi's two hoes were finished, and Leyi shouted happily.

After digging a lot of ear roots, everyone set off again, and there were many wastelands on the hillside not far from the river, and these places were the places with the most wild vegetables.

Capsule, amaranth, dandelion, scissor cabbage, bamboo leaf vegetables, plantain, etc., almost everything that grows in the ground can be eaten, but everyone has not fully developed it.

"Brother Crazy, Sister Yiyi......"

"Grandpa Liu, Grandma Liu............"

Seeing Zhang Feng and a few people picking wild vegetables by the river, Mao Ya and Xiaoshi ran over happily.

"Yo, Mao Ya, you're here!"

Seeing the two little guys, everyone was very happy, and there were smiles on their faces, I have to say that the children are really the pistachios of the adults, and everyone became happy when they saw them.

"Didn't you fly a kite by the river, why did you come here?" Zhang Feng asked with a smile while picking wild vegetables.

"I ...... My brother didn't let us play, so I came here with Little Rock!" said Mao Ya's tender voice.

"Hehe, he won't play with you, you will sue your dad when you go home and let your dad beat him hard!!" Zhang Feng smiled and bewitched.

Seeing Mao Ya, she nodded seriously.

Yiyi said with a smile: "Crazy, you are so bad, you actually taught Mao Ya to sue." ”

"Hehe......" Zhang Feng also laughed.
