Day by day warmer and warmer young tree buds grow fast, what you can eat today may not be able to eat tomorrow, in order to be able to pick more, she temporarily stopped exercising.
At the end of the day, she picked a small basket of young buds, although it seemed that there were so many, after blanching them in boiling water, it was estimated that it was only a small basket, and with their current appetite, she would eat it in two meals, she rubbed her sore neck and wrists, and she had to pick more anyway when she ate these days.
After the young tree buds were blanched, she squeezed out the water in it and kneaded it into a ball and put it in the basket, and Qingtian and Grandma came back and stared at the young tree buds in the basket for a long time, until she glanced at them lightly and expressed her displeasure.
"Ah Niang, the clouds seem to have discovered a new kind of food."
"It looks a lot like grass that has just grown."
"I think it's like, the grass roots can eat the grass that has just grown, and it must be able to eat it."
Grandma Yi looked at her daughter: "Why don't we try it tomorrow." ”
"Don't worry, I'll investigate secretly first to make sure that the green group is really grass, and then we will act."
"Good!"
Yun Duo glanced at the two mothers and daughters who left, took out a piece of animal skin and covered it on the basket, she wanted to store some and put it in the winter to eat, the young tree buds are different from the grass roots, the grass roots have to be eaten when they are dug out, they cannot be stored, the young tree buds can, they can be stored after blanching and drying, and there is no problem at all for a year, so that they can occasionally change the taste in winter. She thought about it and decided to store some.
The next day she and Xuanshi separated and went into the woods, and went up the tree with the help of the vines, and when she sat on the branches of the trees and reached out to pick the leaves, she saw Qingtian sneaking into the woods, and saw her stretching out her head and looking around, knowing that she should be looking for her, she did not make a sound, so she looked at her, and saw that she had been looking for a while in the woods before leaving.
They saw her handling the buds of a young tree yesterday, and the two of them must have thought she had found something new to eat, so she came to peep on a sunny day today? What kind of food did she find?
Although she didn't think to hide the things that the young tree sprouts could eat, she was not necessarily willing to tell her, and even if she did, she probably wouldn't dare to pick them.
She stood up by the trunk of the tree and picked the buds for a while, and then she ran in again on a sunny day, this time she stayed longer in the woods, and left an hour later, and she looked at the frowning man who had left the placer, and who had not thought to look up if he could not find her.
She came five times a day, but she didn't find her, she looked disappointed, she picked leaves and ignored her, and even had lunch in the tree.
Qingtian walked out of the woods and looked at A-Niang and shook his head.
"If she didn't come to the woods, would she go there?" Seeing that her daughter still hadn't found the clouds, she muttered.
Qingtian frowned and pondered for a moment: "Will she deliberately avoid us?" ”
"Probably not, she doesn't know we're looking for her, or there's no edible grass in the woods?"
Qingtian's eyes lit up slightly when she heard A-Niang's words: "I know she's there." ”
"There?"
"I'm not sure if she's there, I'll go check first."
"You be careful and try not to be found out by her."
Qingtian snorted and pulled his legs and ran towards the stream.
At dusk, the clouds came down from the tree with the basket and returned to the cave, and after processing all the young buds, they came back covered in mud on a sunny day.
