Chapter 40: The greens are ripe
Ye Shu'er couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, but she was also a little unhappy, what happened last time had stayed in Xue Zhi'an's heart for so long.
"Zhi'an, don't worry, she can't drive me away, and I won't leave, don't be afraid."
Ye Shu'er's words immediately made Xue Zhi'an happy, and immediately took her hand and walked towards the mountain, saying as she walked: "Daughter-in-law, I will take you to a good place, which is my secret base." ”
Xue Zhi'an's words made Ye Shu'er a little puzzled, she has been here several times on this mountain, can there be anything that others don't know?
The two walked for a long time, and it wasn't until Ye Shu'er really couldn't walk anymore that Xue Zhi'an stopped.
"Daughter-in-law, you wait for me."
Xue Zhi'an let go of Ye Shu'er's hand, ran to the edge of a bush next to him and picked up all the branches, revealing a one-person-high hole.
This is already a deep mountain, Ye Shu'er and Xue Zhi'an have never come here before, no wonder she doesn't know.
"Zhi'an, how did you find this?"
Ye Shu'er looked at the entrance of the cave, a little curious, so she couldn't help but ask.
"That's when I walked and walked here, daughter-in-law, I didn't tell anyone, and you were the first one to know about this besides me."
Xue Zhi'an said that he was about to pull Ye Shu'er into the cave, but Ye Shu'er immediately hesitated, looking at the dark entrance of the cave, a little scared.
"Zhi'an, it's too dark in here, why don't we come another day?"
"Daughter-in-law, it's not dark inside, you'll know when you go in, come on."
Xue Zhi'an couldn't help but drag Ye Shu'er into the cave, Ye Shu'er didn't worry about Xue Zhi'an, so she had to follow him.
The passage was only a dozen meters away from one person high and one person wide, and the two of them quickly passed through the entrance of the cave, and their eyes suddenly became spacious and bright.
"Daughter-in-law, I'll just say, it's beautiful here."
Coming out of the cave, Ye Shu'er was directly stunned by the scene in front of her, and they came directly to the other side of the mountain, halfway up the mountain, looking at the scenery below is simply unique.
There was a large open space in front of him, surrounded by flowers and plants, and there was no trace of trampling on it, and the temperature was already very low this season, but the plants here seemed to be unaffected.
"Zhi'an, you're amazing."
Ye Shu'er immediately gave Xue Zhi'an a thumbs up, and looked around, there were a lot of herbs growing here, not only for medicinal mud, but also for others.
She was worried that there was no good excuse for the vegetables grown in the space, and now she could dig it up and take it back to the Xue family.
"Daughter-in-law, this is the second time I've been here, I couldn't find it before, but I didn't expect to find it so easily with you."
Xue Zhi'an said with a smile, and after speaking, he went to the side to pick a bouquet of flowers and gave it to Ye Shu'er.
"Zhi'an, let's pick some herbs and go back, and then come to make medicinal mud and sell them in the town."
After Ye Shu'er told Xue Zhi'an about the herbs to be picked, the two of them began to dig, and after a while, they dug up a basket of herbs, including some honeysuckle and peony flowers, which could be sold to pharmacies.
"Zhi'an, come and see!"
Ye Shu'er was digging herbs, and when she turned her head, a yellow figure came into view, and when she looked at it, it turned out to be another ginseng.
It's a little smaller than the last time I dug up, but it looks pretty good.
Xue Zhi'an hurriedly ran to her side when he heard Ye Shu'er's words, followed her line of sight and immediately said happily: "Daughter-in-law, ginseng!" ”
"Be quiet."
Ye Shu'er made a silent gesture, and then carefully dug out the ginseng with Xue Zhi'an.
It is a ginseng that is about 50 years old, and although it is not as valuable as the 100-year-old ginseng, it can also be sold for a lot of silver.
Ye Shu'er touched the bracelet in the small purse and entered the space in the direction that Xue Zhi'an couldn't see.
Digging up most of the vegetables in the space, Ye Shuer put them all into the basket and went out of the space.
After a while, after Xue Zhi'an finished digging wild vegetables, Ye Shu'er called Xue Zhi'an with a basket full of them.
"Why are there so many greens?"
"I dug in that clearing." Ye Shu'er lied casually, "Zhi'an, you help me, I can't take it alone." ”
"Okay." The two men came out of the hole with baskets, and then covered them with bush branches, and then went down the mountain.
"Shu'er, have you found the herbs? Isn't it hard to find? ”
Back at Xue's house, Zhang immediately asked when he saw the two of them.
Ye Shu'er shook her head, nervously pulled Zhang into the kitchen, lifted the herbs on the top of the basket, and there were full of greens underneath.
"Why are there so many greens?"
Zhang asked in surprise, the vegetables in the countryside in winter are probably only carrots and cabbage, and such watery greens are very rare.
"I dug it in the cave, there are still some in the cave, next time I will dig some back with Zhi'an."
"Mother, you see there's something down there." Ye Shu'er picked up all the greens and put them on the ground, and a fifty-year-old ginseng was revealed.
Zhang looked at the ginseng in this basket, was stunned for two seconds, and immediately became happy: "Shu'er, you are really amazing." ”
"Mother, it's not my credit this time, it's Zhi'an who took me there."
In the face of Zhang's praise, Ye Shuer said very modestly.
"Either way, both of you have merit."
Zhang smiled and put the ginseng away, and took it directly to the room and locked it.
Zhang was very happy to see that the two of them had picked so many herbs and came back, so he directly caught two quails at dinner and added food to everyone.
"Mother, what day is today? and stewed quail to eat. ”
At dinner, Xue Lao Er couldn't help but ask curiously.
"What day can I have? There are quails that you can eat if you want. ”
Zhang said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, Xue Lao Er's face was happy, and he directly stretched out his chopsticks and clamped them towards the quail leg, but before he could reach it, his hand was slapped back by Zhang's with chopsticks.
"This leg is reserved for Shu'er, and you are embarrassed to grab it."
Zhang's words instantly made Xue Lao Er a little unhappy: "Mother, didn't you say you could eat if you wanted?" ”
"I'm talking about Zhi'an and Shu'er, how old are you, you can't eat by yourself if you want to."
Xue Laoer's face became more and more ugly, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"Mother, this time I have to admit that since Shu'er came to our house, the food has really been much better."
The atmosphere fell into embarrassment for a while, and Li Yumei immediately spoke when she saw this.
This is the first time Li Yumei has praised Ye Shu'er, and Zhang immediately gave her an angry look when she heard it: "What you said is as if I abused you before." ”
"Mother, I didn't mean that."
Li Yumei said helplessly.
"Alright, let's eat it."
The Zhang family didn't say anything, but from the bottom of his heart, he agreed with Li Yumei's words, after Ye Shu'er came to the Xue family, the conditions of the Xue family were indeed much better than before.
Zhang said and took a chopstick of green vegetables, "This dish is so fresh." ”
This kind of green leafy dish is very rare in winter, and everyone eats it with a round belly.
