Chapter 6 Digging for Wild Vegetables
Luo Qingyan walked around the courtyard back and forth, and then the little girl named Liu Liying, who had been fooled by her yesterday, came over again. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info entered the house with a basket in his hand and asked: "Xiao Yan, how is it, is it better today?" I will go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables in a while, and the wild vegetables in the sunny place are quite big, so I can dig them. ”
Luo Qingyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was about to go out for two days, "I'll go with you, my body is stiff when I lie on the kang, and I have to move quickly." ”
Liu Liying hesitated and said, "Are you well?" can Grandpa Luo agree to let you go?"
"Don't worry, it's going to be fine, I'll walk slowly, and I'll rest when I'm tired. ”
"Okay, you take a basket and let's go together, I know where there are many wild vegetables. ”
The two men closed the courtyard door and walked towards the mountain. Luo Qingyan observed the surrounding environment as he walked, there were about thirty or forty families in this small mountain village, scattered at the foot of the mountain. The trees on the mountain have already begun to spit green, and a little green has emerged on the ground. A breath of fresh air, the environment is so nice!
In front of the village is a small river formed by the snow of a mountain spring, and you can still see fish swimming in the water. Luo Qingyan said excitedly: "Great, there are fish in the river, we can catch fish and eat." ”
Liu Liying shook her head, "You can't catch any fish, do you think no one catches them, these fish are cunning, this river is still very deep, and it's not so easy to eat them." ”
Luo Qingyan said confidently: "I have a way to do this, we don't go into the water to catch it, now that the river has just been opened, there is ice in many places! People can't stand going into the water." We can catch it with a hook, and as long as the bait is right, we can definitely catch it. ”
Luo Qingyan followed Liu Liying along the country road towards the mountain. On both sides of the road are large fields of farmland, and the dark earth is beginning to thaw in the sun, and the tide is returning, and spring planting is about to begin.
They found a lot of thorny buds in the sunny spot on a sunken hillside, which was a good thing. Thorn sprouts contain various ingredients such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, vitamin B2, vitamin B1, niacin, vitamin C, etc.
Pick young shoots and young leaves in spring, use them fresh and salt. Blanch the thorny sprouts in boiling water, change to water and soak for 2 hours, stir-fry, cold dressing, dipping sauce, batter and frying. The young shoots of the spiny old buds are edible, which not only has a certain edible value, but also has a fairly high medicinal value, and the stems, skins, shoots, and seeds are widely used. Its stem bark is used in medicine, which has the effect of replenishing qi and soothing the nerves, strengthening the muscles and nourishing the kidneys, dispelling wind and activating blood. The seeds of spiny old sprouts can be pressed for oil, with an oil content of 35%, for industrial soap. It can be seen that it is full of treasures. Thorny old teeth can be picked from spring to early summer, but it is better to have young leaves that are not stretched in late spring. In the summer, the young leaves become old and cannot be eaten.
Since this is a leeward and sunny place, the wild vegetables have grown quite large, and although they were picked a little early, they are no problem to eat. In a few moments, the baskets of the two of them were full. Liu Liying was still reluctant when she left, "There are so many that I haven't picked yet!"
Luo Qingyan pulled the little girl and walked back, "Let's go, it's better to pick this wild vegetable when it grows up, and then eat this wild vegetable fresh, and you can't eat it if you pick too much." ”
Liu Liying also felt that what Luo Qingyan said made sense, so the two walked back. Liu Liying was also in a hurry to go home, and the two broke up at the door of Luo Qingyan's house.
Luo Zhentang had already come back, and when he saw his granddaughter digging wild vegetables, he hurriedly took the basket and looked at it, hey, he dug a lot. Touching her granddaughter's head, it seems that her granddaughter's body is fine, "Today, grandpa made wild vegetable gnocchi soup for Qing'er to eat." ”
Luo Qingyan felt the big hand on her head gently caressing, her face turned red unconsciously, she was a little embarrassed, this is being treated as a child, but when she thinks about it, isn't she a child now? It seems that she must adapt to this body as soon as possible, otherwise she will be exposed. Thinking of this, he hugged his grandfather's arm and said happily: "Great, I love to eat the wild vegetable gnocchi soup made by my grandfather, and dig more wild vegetables in the future."
Luo Zhentang laughed: "Sycophant, grandpa will wait for Qing'er's wild vegetables in the future, but he will go after his body is well raised." ”
Looking at Grandpa Luo's kind smile, she felt that the images of Grandpa Luo and her grandfather coincided. "Grandpa, I'll make a fire for you, I'm grown up now, I can do some housework, I used to watch grandpa cook and actually learned a lot better. ”
Luo Zhentang said in surprise: "Oh, Qing'er can cook, don't make it half-cooked at that time, right?"
Luo Qingyan pouted and said, "Grandpa looks down on people, and one day I will be ready to show my hand and promise to convince you." ”
Luo Zhentang laughed when he heard this, and quipped: "Okay, then Qing'er prepare well, grandpa is waiting for the day when you show your hand to grandpa, it doesn't matter if it's not delicious, as long as it's cooked." ”
At noon, the grandfather and grandson cooperated to make a mixed gnocchi soup mixed with corn and white flour, and they were very happy to eat. Luo Zhentang also joked vigorously that he didn't know when his granddaughter would be ready to show his hand.
Luo Qingyan thought to himself, you will be surprised soon.
Luo Qingyan saw that there were freshly picked herbs in a basket in the yard, so he asked, "Grandpa, did you go to pick herbs this morning?"
Luo Zhentang smiled and nodded, "Spring ploughing is coming soon, so I will pick more herbs while I still have some free time." ”
"My grandfather and I are good at studying medicine, and we can go with my grandfather to collect medicine in the future, and we can also see people. ”
Luo Zhentang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he replied excitedly: "Okay, my granddaughter has ambition, and grandpa will rely on you to inherit grandpa's mantle in the future." From tomorrow onwards, grandpa will teach you how to recognize herbs, how to concoct herbs, and continue to read more words, so that you can read medical books by yourself in the future. ”
At night, Luo Qingyan turned off the lights, lay on the kang, and waited until midnight to enter the space. This time, she found some clothes for children in the space. These clothes were bought by her in her previous life to be donated to the children in the disaster area, and she came to this world before she could donate them. Her original clothes were too big to wear, and although she couldn't wear them outside, she could be more comfortable wearing them in the space. Luo Qingyan took a comfortable hot bath in the bathroom with her pajamas to wash off the dust on her body. The winter in the Northeast is very cold, with dozens of degrees below zero, and it is too hard to take a bath
After taking a bath, Luo Qingyan remembered that he hadn't seen the appearance of this body, so he walked to the mirror. I saw a little girl's face appear in the mirror, her skin was pink and tender because she had just taken a bath, and a pair of big watery eyes had a depth that did not belong to children. Luo Qingyan is more satisfied, her appearance is relatively high, and there is still room for improvement, because there are many things in her space that can improve her appearance, and she is very confident that she can become more beautiful, everyone has a love for beauty, and Luo Qingyan is no exception.
Luo Qingyan looked at the situation in the castle again, and the things that had been purchased before were still there. When I walked out of the castle, I wanted to go outside to see if the farmland, pastures and other places had been affected, but fortunately they were all left as they were.
Suddenly, she noticed that the fog on the other side of the medicine field had receded a lot, and a building appeared where the fog was revealed, and this building looked so familiar from a distance. Luo Qingyan suddenly patted his head and remembered, isn't this the base of that terrorist organization? Wouldn't those terrorists also come in?
