Chapter 12 Picking Thorny Sprouts

Because Nanshan is not a deep mountain and old forest, there are no wolves, tigers, leopards and other too dangerous animals to live in it, so the villagers often go to Nanshan to collect firewood, dig wild vegetables, dig herbs, pick wild fruits and nuts.

There are many people coming, and the little resources on the periphery of Nanshan are inevitably a little insufficient, and in order to get more things to go home, the people in the village will basically go a little deeper into the mountains and forests.

Ming Jiro: They are no exception.

A group of six people was digging wild vegetables with their hands, and at the same time, Ming Jiro led the way and walked halfway up the South Mountain.

"Hey, second brother, don't you want this?" When everyone climbed to about a hundred meters away from the foot of the mountain, Mingyue suddenly pointed to a small tree with spikes on the right hand side and asked Ming Erlang.

That tree Mingyue remembered that it was called Thorn Old Bud, because the young shoots produced were once praised as "the first mountain treasure in the world" by some gourmets in the world of her previous life, so Mingyue also made a special trip to the place of origin to taste fresh after work.

Ming Jiro obviously hadn't eaten the green shoots on this tree that attracted Mingyue's attention, and he asked Mingyue, "What is this?" Can you eat it? ”

After Mingyue asked, she already realized that she was careless for a while, and she actually let her mouth run faster than her brain, and she made up a nonsense with a little weakness, "It seems to be called Thorn Old Bud, I don't know which words it is." The last time my grandmother took me to town, I happened to see someone selling this. ”

Ming Erlang didn't suspect anything, and when he heard Mingyue say this, he immediately started to break those thorny old buds.

Mingyue hurriedly stopped him, "You better cut with a hoe, be careful of the thorns on the tree, don't prick your hand." ”

Ming Erlang smiled, "You also underestimate your second brother too much." ”

Mingyue smiled and said nothing, and he stepped forward to pick those thorny old buds, but he made up his mind to bring a more suitable tool next time he went up the mountain.

Ming Erlang moved quickly, but Yu Jiayan and San Lang, Shiro, and Goro couldn't help much because they were too small.

Several people were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks, and in desperation, they only had to tiptoe to reach the young shoots in the lower places.

Mingyue saw that they were swaying and easy to fall, so she hurriedly beckoned a few people to come over to her side, "Let the second brother pick it." You can't reach it. If you have enough time to tiptoe there, you might as well help the second brother find a few more of these trees. ”

As soon as Saburo heard this, he immediately chose a direction and drilled into the woods, "I know there are a few similar trees over here, so I'll go and see if they have sprouts now." ”

Mingyue saw it and hurriedly told Yu Jiayan to look at Shiro and Goro, "You stay here with the second brother to guard Shiro and Goro, and I will go over with Sanlang." ”

Yu Jiayan is a sensible person, he knows that Mingyue is neither worried about San Lang running around alone, nor worrying about taking the two small ones to chase San Lang.

In order to reassure Mingyue, he assured Mingyue with a small face: "Don't worry, I will definitely take a good look at Shiro and Goro." ”

Mingyue smiled with relief, raised her feet and trotted all the way to chase Ming Saburo.

Ming Saburo really found a few thorny old bud trees more than ten meters away, Mingyue was very happy, and took Saburo to make peace with Erlang and them, "Wait a minute, let the second brother also pick the ones here." ”

"This thing is delicious?" San Lang asked Mingyue suspiciously.

Of course it's delicious!

Mingyue wanted to answer like this, but she always remembered that she couldn't let herself lose her vest. So she could only vaguely flicker San Lang, "I think that old woman will sell it for eight cents a pound, it should be delicious." ”

This price is Mingyue's combination of modern and ancient price levels, quickly converted, of course, considering the consumption level of ancient people, Mingyue has slightly reduced the price of this ancient thorny old bud.

However, the price she had lowered was still very unacceptable to Ming Saburo, and he shouted to Mingyue: "Bawen? Why didn't she grab it?! Do you know how much a pair of pigs cost in the water? Eight to twelve! She's selling it for more than meat! ”

Mingyue rubbed her ears, "What are you shouting at me?" It's not a pound of eight cents that I sell. ”

As she spoke, Mingyue couldn't help but feel empty, saying that, she really wanted to try to sell this thorny old bud.

She was thinking about how to get the conversation back, so that she could fool the brothers of the Ming family to help her sell this thorny old bud, and Yu Jiayan, a small wealth fan, had already given her the stairs with an eager face, "Sister Mingyue, you said that this thorny old bud can be sold for eight cents a catty?" So what are we going to eat? Let's take it all and sell it in town! ”

Ming Saburo was stunned, "How are you..."

"I think you're a great idea!" Mingyue couldn't wait to interrupt Ming Saburo's words, "If we can sell this thorny old sprout at a good price, then can't we beg grandma to buy sugar and meat for us to improve our food?" ”

When Ming Saburo heard this, he immediately closed his mouth tightly, looking very worried that he would say his objections, and Mingyue couldn't help but laugh secretly when he saw it - sure enough, delicious food has an irresistible attraction to children.

She coughed, "Then let's just say it, and you will take us to the town in the afternoon, second brother." ”

Ming Erlang was a little dumbfounded, but thinking of the fragrant meat and sweet sugar, Ming Erlang still didn't raise any objections - ridiculous is ridiculous, what if it happens! Anyway, even if they can't make it, they will run for nothing at most.

Thinking of this, Ming Jiro immediately sped up the movement of his hand.

Mingyue was very happy to see that he was busy, so she simply took San Lang and a few other small ones to find other wild vegetables.

In the memory of the original owner, the only wild vegetables that the Ming family often eats are mother-in-law, ququ cabbage, purslane, noodle vegetables, shepherd's cabbage, acacia flowers, elm money and toon sprouts.

Other wild vegetables that are also very delicious, such as marantou, wild celery, dog ground sprouts, Houttuynia cordata, etc., have never appeared on the table of the little original owner's family.

Mingyue recalled the wild vegetables she had seen in her previous life, and at the same time looked left and right to pay attention to the surrounding environment, wanting to see if there were no such wild vegetables in Wulitun, or if everyone didn't know each other, so no one picked them to eat at home.

"Rabbit! There are rabbits! Saburo's scream interrupted Mingyue's thoughts, and she subconsciously looked up, only to see Saburo chasing a rabbit towards her.

The kid probably wanted to catch the rabbit too much, so he not only used his strength to chase after him, but also yelled at Yu Jiayan and Shiro to help him chase him.

Mingyue didn't see it as a problem, so she simply picked up a stone and smashed it at the rabbit's head.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or Mingyue's luck, a stone she threw casually actually smashed the rabbit and fainted.

Saburo screamed and pounced, holding down the rabbit and not daring to let go of his two little hands.

Erlang also ran over when he heard the sound, and when he saw this, he hurriedly pulled the newly haired rattan and tied the rabbit's limbs.
