After a busy spring, it has unconsciously entered the fifth month of the solar calendar. After every family's fields have been planted, the green wheat seedlings have grown more than an inch long, one by one, just like wearing a green blanket.

The villagers of the mountain tun finally breathed a sigh of relief, the crops were planted in the ground, and their hearts were also a lot more stable, as long as the rain was reconciled, the shovels were followed, and this year was another bumper year.

Many families have already started to sharpen hoes in preparation for shovel heads everywhere. At this time, the fat man picked a Sunday and led a group of people into the mountain.

The army was immense, men, women, and children. Even Captain Li was pulled by the fat man, Wang Sanpao escorted him with a shotgun on his back, and the car boss who was the head of the staff also followed, as well as the sister-in-law and two women.

Of course, there are also big braids and Qiqi, and the two girls have not yet had the experience of picking wild vegetables, so they must follow suit.

Captain Li looked at this army, which was more like a wild tour, and shouted to the fat man angrily: "Isn't it just picking a wild vegetable, and as for being so excited, if you are hungry for the fat man, we still have pickled bracken and dried vetch at home." ”

The fat man grinned: "This is a big deal, you have to be in charge personally, and I will treat you well when you go home." ”

"Come on, don't mention eating wild vegetables, I was injured when I was hungry all those years, good guy, the last meal of wild vegetables is mushy, the next meal of wild vegetable dumplings, now think about the acid reflux in the stomach. Captain Li waved his hand again and again.

"That's the wrong way you eat, I'll show you my hands when I get back. "The fat man is full of confidence, there was no oil, water and no meat before, and of course wild vegetables are difficult to swallow, and if they want to eat them in 30 years, it will not be easy to buy them.

"Fatty, what are your plans, saying it also makes us open our hearts, did you go to the provincial capital, did you see that the wild vegetables were valuable?"

In fact, the fat man really inquired about the price of several wild vegetables in the farmers' market in the provincial capital, which was not low, but the sales were not large. The main reason for this is that people have just "eaten enough" and have not yet reached the level of "eating well".

If it is only sold locally, it is estimated that at most it can be exchanged for pocket money, and the economic value is not large.

Seeing that the fat man was smiling and silent, with an unfathomable appearance, several people simply didn't ask, and the topic gradually turned to the fruit tree.

Among this group of people, the happiest thing is to be Qiqi, running before and after, chasing and playing with Maomao, and really regard this as a pleasant outing.

"What kind of wild vegetables are there in this mountain, I am talking about a relatively large number of them, which can be collected in large quantities?" After all, the fat man didn't know much about the situation, so he humbly asked everyone for advice.

When it came to wild vegetables, Bigfoot immediately counted the treasures: "That's a lot, bracken and beef hair are the most, and they have been picked less in the past two years, and they are all over the mountains." ”

"What is Niu Maoguang?" the fat man continued to ask shamelessly.

"It's Wei Cai, because there are fine hairs on it, so it's called Niu Mao Guang. The car owner added on the side.

"Yes, there are also thorny shoots, large-leaved celery, small root garlic, daylily, Cantonese vegetables, old nose. Bigfoot sister-in-law broke her fingers and said to the fat man, until the ten fingers were broken, she didn't finish checking, so she simply summed it up with an "old nose".

The fat man scratched his head: "I understand, but I haven't seen it, I don't have any impression, I'll tell me when I'm picking vegetables later." ”

"I've been talking for a long time. Bigfoot snorted a few times.

"What is Cantonese food, we are in the Northeast, and it has nothing to do with Guangdong. The fat man has a lot of questions, and this time he asked Bigfoot Sister-in-law, she didn't eat less wild vegetables, and she didn't pick less wild vegetables, but she didn't do any research on the names of wild vegetables:

"It's just a name, it's all called that. ”

"Lu is timid, no, in the past, our northeast was called Kanto. It is said that when little Japan was stationed here, it liked to eat this kind of dish, so it was called Kanto cuisine, and I don't know how, it was called Cantonese cuisine, probably because the pronunciation of Guangdong and Kanto is relatively similar. "The car boss is worthy of being a master in the mountains, and he is the first to say.

The fat man was moved when he heard this: it turns out that this Japanese likes wild vegetables in the Northeast, and it has a lot of historical origins, so it seems that this deal can be done.

After walking for seven or eight miles, I came to a hillside in front of me, and beyond that was a large black forest.

"That's it, in previous years I remember the cat's paws here one by one. Bigfoot pointed forward.

"What's a cat's paw?" Kiki also found the name amusing.

"It's bracken, the top is like a kitten's paws, and the monkey's legs, just like your hairy legs, haha. Bigfoot bent down and picked up a green stem from the ground, the young leaves on which had not yet unfolded, curled up into a ball, a bit like a cat's paw.

The fat man also saw fresh bracken for the first time, and he had eaten it before, all dried or pickled. So he bowed his head and made it on the ground. In the gap between the leaves and the grass, there are tender bracken seedlings, more than half a foot long, the stems are smooth and straight upward, green and purple, and at the top is the young leaves that do not stretch out, which are very recognizable and beautiful.

I will think of the fried shredded pork with bracken I used to eat, the tender green bracken with the lean shredded meat, and the fat man's saliva almost flowed out.

"That's a lot!" Kiki squatted on the ground, his little hands fluttering, and pinched off the bracken, which was easy to pick because it was still very tender.

"Don't worry, Kiki, give you a sickle head, don't break your little hands. Bigfoot pulled a sickle head out of the basket and handed it to her.

"The mountain boy newly picks fern sprout fertilizer, which is the artistic conception of it. The big pigtail looked at Qiqi and suddenly felt something.

The fat man's heart moved: I almost forgot, people are also people with ink in their stomachs, and recently these two months of pigtails have moved out a lot of books every day to read, won't it be to prepare for the university entrance examination again?

After a while, everyone's basket was covered with a layer of bracken, and the fat man hurriedly shouted: "Enough, all gathered into one basket, let's pick a few more." ”

"Let me do it. Kiki put his own basket on the ground, and then loaded the bracken from the other baskets one by one, and Mao Mao followed suit, turning around and carrying it back and forth.

The fat man can understand Qiqi's behavior very well, and the child is willing to snatch the fruits of labor.

"Kiki, I can't move it. The big pigtail also smiled at Kiki, his eyes full of caresses.

"It's okay, tell Maomao to carry it with me, if only I brought a sika deer. Qiqi and Maomao each held the end of the basket beam, lifted the basket and left: "Aunt Bigfoot, where are the monkey legs you said?"

After changing a place, the car boss pointed to a plant on the ground and said to the fat man: "This is Wei Cai, it is not as delicious as bracken, and it is a little bitter." ”

The fat man hurriedly squatted on the ground to see, it should also be a fern, similar in appearance to bracken, the color is more purple, and it is covered with a layer of white fluff, which is probably the reason why it is called Niu Maoguang.

"This is Wei Cai, it is said to be very famous in history, there is a description of picking Wei in the Book of Poetry, there are two famous people who do not eat Zhou Su, called Bo Yi and Shu Qi, they picked Wei vegetables in Shouyang Mountain for food, and finally starved to death. "The fat man's understanding of Wei Cai is completely stuck in the textbook.

"These two people are definitely not from a bitter background, we haven't eaten less every year in those years, and we haven't had anything to do. "Captain Li didn't know Uncle Boyi's high wind and bright festival, so he couldn't help but despise these two old guys.

"These things must be eaten when they are tender, and when the branches and leaves are opened, they are all hard and cannot be eaten at all, so it is strange not to starve to death just by pointing and eating vetch. ”

Wang Sanpao listened to what the fat man said very interestingly, and added another sentence after speaking: "These two people must be dead-eyed." ”

The fat man laughed vigorously: The working people look at the problem realistically, directly and effectively, but they often hit the nail on the head. In ancient times, people regarded vetch as a symbol of nobility, but when it comes to us, it is not easy to use, and it must be practical to achieve it - what, I used to remember that bracken and vetch are the largest exporters, so these two things come to me.

Picking all the way down, slipping around, it's really no different from an outing. After walking a few hillsides, the fat man basically knew in his heart: the variety of wild vegetables is indeed rich, especially bracken and wivess are the most widely distributed.

Bringing Qiqi's small basket over: "Let's go, I'll make you a wild vegetable feast when you go home." ”

"Fat uncle, give me the basket when you get to the entrance of the village. "Kiki still cares a lot about this, how can he go back empty-handed.

When he arrived in the village, the fat man was surprised to find that the bright green jeep was parked in the middle of the road, and a large group of babies surrounded him to see the rarity, many of them were seeing this kind of high-end car for the first time.

"Uncle Fatty, someone is looking for you—" A few wild boys shouted from afar.

The fat man was overjoyed: What's going on?
