Chapter 4: Finding Wild Plants
The outer part of the mountain is a little barren, and the wild vegetables that can be eaten on the ground have basically been dug up by the villagers, and the slope looks potholed.
"Mother, I'll dig wild vegetables, you rest against the big tree, it's not early, we won't go up the mountain, it's here, it's dangerous in the mountains."
Jiang Yan looked at the dense forest not far away, quietly, the sky was dark, and it looked even more eerie and terrifying, seeing that the two of them were looking for wild vegetables, she also walked around.
[Old Iron! Discover the natural wild gray weed! 】
[Natural wild gray weed, six dollars per catty!] 】
Looking at the picture in her mind, Jiang Yan looked at a piece of gray cabbage at a glance, which was a common gray cabbage, this kind of vegetable should not be eaten too much, and if you eat too much, your skin will be red and your body will be tingling, so no one in the village will eat this.
She didn't expect that this gray cabbage also had medicinal value, and it could be developed now.
Jiang Yan squatted on the ridge of the field with a smile and picked ash cabbage, and a sharp voice suddenly exploded in her ears.
"That faceless dog is stealing my food!!"
The gradually darkening sky affected the vision, and when the people walked in, they took a look: "Yo! It turned out to be Aunt Jiang of the Lin family! ”
Liu pinched her waist and shouted very loudly, she and Jiang Yan didn't like each other since they were young, and often played tricks, but she couldn't do it to each other, and today she finally found an excuse.
"The shameless old pimple, doing things like stealing chickens and touching dogs all day long,"
Her voice, Lin Nan and the two who were not far away also looked over.
The few pieces of land under this mountain belong to the Liu family, and Jiang Yan is now standing on the ridge of her family.
"Aunt Jiang, I'm afraid your cheek is thicker than the adobe wall of my house, if you steal vegetables today, will you still steal people in Ming'er?"
"It's also a coincidence that you're a widow, so it's convenient for you to ......."
Jiang Yan's head is full of black lines.
was shouted at by a woman who looked several years older than her, and slandered one bite at a time.
She threw the gray cabbage in her hand on the ground, and said in a cold voice, "Yo! Sister-in-law Liu doesn't even know the gray cabbage? Or is it just gray cabbage that you grow? ”
Liu saw clearly now, Jiang Yan was holding gray cabbage.
The gray cabbage does not taste good, and the whole body will sting if you eat too much, and the people in the village have always thought that this is a poisonous dish, let alone for people to eat, even poultry are not to eat, if it is not for the fact that the family is almost starving to death, no one will think of taking this dish to satisfy hunger.
Liu knew that he was at a loss, but his mouth was very hard, and he scolded: "This gray cabbage can't be eaten, I have been watching you walk back and forth in my field from afar, who knows if you want to secretly dig my vegetables." ”
Jiang Yan sighed, she didn't know where this old sister-in-law got the confidence, just the few lonely old lettuce in her field, she couldn't look down on it.
"Sister-in-law Liu is wrong, it's not that there is really no extra food at home, just dig some gray cabbage to satisfy hunger, as long as you don't eat much, you can't die anyway."
"Sister-in-law Liu, if you have extra food at home, why don't you lend some to our family, and I will return it to you when the autumn harvest comes, and save me a day to look for wild vegetables on your ridges......"
Her face was tired and panting, the wound on her head was a little obvious, and her messy body looked a little pitiful.
Liu's eyes were about to fall out in shock, Aunt Jiang, who had always been against her and wanted to strangle her, would put down her posture and ask her to borrow food!
"Whew! Borrow food! Don't say I don't have anything extra, even if I do, I can't lend it to you! ”
Saying that, she turned around and left, she even thought that Sister-in-law Jiang had broken her brain today, and wanted to borrow food from her, and go to the ghost!
Jiang Yan saw that the people were gone, so she picked up all the vegetables on the ground, squatted on the ridge, and continued to pull the gray cabbage.
It was a moment before she stopped, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead, and she could even feel the sticky sweat on her chest and back.
The original body has always been lazy, and her body is very weak, and she feels tired and panicked after only a few moves.
Jiang Yan took a look at the gray cabbage that she dug up, more than three catties, and more than half a catty of plantain, and looked at Lin Nan and Liu Xiaomeng in the distance to make sure that no one saw it before selling.
Three catties of gray gray cabbage harvested 18 wen, and most of the half catty plantain harvested 3wen, a total of 21 wen, and the points also became 2.3 points.
"Dick! Xiaomeng, it's not early, let's go home. ”
She shouted and stood up, but suddenly her head was dizzy, and it was dark in front of her eyes, and it took a long time to recover.
When I touched it, I remembered that my head was broken, and the wound had not been treated, so it seemed that in addition to hypoglycemia, there was also the cause of the wound.
In ancient times, minor injuries and illnesses were likely to kill, and if inflammation and infection accidentally caused tetanus, it was a small life.
I could only buy anti-inflammatory drugs for 16 Wen in the Plane Mall, and I originally wanted to buy some disinfectant, but I also needed 16 Wen, and she had no money.
Bent down and lowered her head to dig the vegetables for a long time, and in a blink of an eye, there were five cents left, and Jiang Yan didn't dare to spend it indiscriminately.
She hammered her sore old arms and legs, and Lin Nan brought Liu Xiaomeng over, one of them carrying a bundle of firewood, and the other carrying half a frame of wild vegetables.
"Mother, where are you uncomfortable?"
"No, let's go home."
Lin Nan nodded, followed behind Jiang Yan, and as soon as the three of them walked to the door of the house, they heard lively talking coming from the house.
"Big brother, the second brother is married to a daughter-in-law today, do we have to set up a few tables to invite the village people to dinner?"
"My mother has no money, and even if she does, she won't set up a banquet for her second brother."
"That's it, my mother doesn't like the second sister-in-law."
"Anyway, the second brother likes it, and when the second brother makes money in the future, it's okay to set up a banquet."
“………”
Jiang Yan walked into the courtyard and saw that everyone was gathered around the simple table that could not bear to look at directly.
The original has five sons, the eldest son Lin Dong, who is nineteen years old this year, married a daughter-in-law when he was just sixteen years old, that is, Wang Jinhua, who was the same age as her, and the two gave birth to a son at the end of the year - Xiaodouzi, who is the pillar of the family.
The second son, Lin Nan, is sixteen years old this year, and he is the more assertive among the sons, and he doesn't like the daughter-in-law that the original body ordered for him, so he tries to tell the original body, and now he has got his wish, and it is precisely because of this that she is more filial to the current Jiang Yan.
The third son, Lin Xi, is fifteen years old this year, and he is the strongest among the sons, and his physique looks stronger than the others.
The fourth son, Lin Bei, is twelve years old this year, he is the most clever, and the third is two extremes, he is thin and skinny, and he looks like he will die soon, which looks much smaller than the actual grade.
The youngest son, Lin Feng, is only eight years old, and he is also thin and has a few pounds of meat, and what is even more pitiful is that he had a high fever when he was a child and burned his brain, and it is precisely because of this that the original body hates him very much, and he is either beaten or scolded, causing the little guy to often hide in fear when he sees the original body.
As soon as Jiang Yan entered the door, her voice stopped abruptly, and everyone subconsciously looked at her, especially the fifth child, who quietly hid behind the fourth child.
Lin Dong: "Mother, you're back." ”
Linxi: "Mother, I've already picked up the water." ”
Lin Bei: "Mother, I also chopped firewood and came back." ”
Lin Feng: "Mother's ......"
Jiang Yan pursed her lips, the mother of this voice...... She's really going to tie her mouth!
