Chapter 229: In the Mountains and Forests 11
In the end, Li Wei showed them another way.
Li Wei: "When I just came over, I saw some peppercorns and wild garlic and ginger on it, you can pick some and come back for seasoning." ”
Chen Zhuo told Chen Chao Li Wei's words back, and Chen Chao looked angry.
"Big brother, she just deliberately didn't give it to us, and she couldn't even give it a little spice."
Chen Zhuo sighed: "Second brother, other people's things, people have the right not to borrow." ”
Chen Chao was so angry: "If you don't borrow, you won't borrow, we'll pick it ourselves." ”
After saying that, he took a few servants and went to pick wild peppercorns, wild garlic and wild ginger.
Shi and the others ate the fragrant grilled fish, and they were in a pleasant mood.
"It's so delicious, I've never eaten anything so delicious when I'm so old."
"Me too, heck, I think it's good to escape now, it's a much better day than when we were on the streets."
Li Wei laughed: "If it's delicious, you can eat more." ”
The boiled fish was also good, and several people smelled the fragrance, and their saliva was about to come out.
The people who fled the famine together looked envious, and at this moment, Chen Chao limped back, and when he passed by the Gu family, he looked at the Gu family who were eating hotly here, and his eyes were very dissatisfied.
"Boy, what kind of eyes are you in, we offended you?" Gu Lao Er couldn't get used to it, so he went up.
"I just can't get used to you, what do you want?" Chen Chao just fell, he was originally on fire, but now he is tired, hungry and painful, at this time, Gu Lao Er rushed up, he naturally scolded back unceremoniously.
"What do you want? I don't owe you anything, don't dangle in front of us if you don't like us. ”
Gu Lao Er had long seen that something was wrong with this Chen family kid, he didn't like them, but his eyes were always staring at the Gu family, if he was in other places, Gu Lao Er wouldn't dare to mess with this kind of rich son, but now, he was not false at all.
Chen Chao: "Is this your home?" You don't care where I am. ”
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Chen Zhuo ran over and immediately apologized.
"I'm sorry, my brother just accidentally fell, plus he hasn't eaten yet, he's in a bad mood, and his words are a little formless, so please bear with me."
Chen Chao saw that his brother said that he was wrong as soon as he came up, and he was so angry that he stared at him.
"Big brother, what do you apologize for, it was he who was the first to disrespect me, and it was he who provoked me first."
"Second brother, everyone is fleeing the famine, you should unite and cooperate, how did your grandfather educate you? Be generous, have a pattern, and don't be careful. ”
Seeing that Chen Zhuo raised his face to teach himself a lesson, and mentioned his grandfather again, Chen Chao wanted to say it again, but in the end he swallowed the words that came to his mouth, turned around and went back.
Gu Lao Er thought that he had won the quarrel and was in a good mood.
Li Wei glanced at the Chen family over there, it could be said that they were in a hurry, and there was a little porridge boiling in the cauldron. Except for a few servants weaving bamboo rafts, a few girls looked wilted, not as good as those who came out of the village to flee.
"Boss, bring some fish soup to the Chen family."
Gu Lao Er looked at Li Wei in surprise: "Mother, why do we have to give them fish soup." ”
Li Wei: "Since everyone is together, help those who can." ”
In fact, Li Wei doesn't want to pull the hatred too much, it is best to be able to get along with each other, not to give seasonings but only to the finished product, that is because the seasoning is really not good for others to see. Although she didn't understand how Chen Chao's hostility towards her came from.
When Boss Gu brought the fish over, Chen Zhuo was grateful.
"That's embarrassing, you didn't cook much."
Boss Gu replied very honestly.
"We've all eaten almost, so you can eat these."
After speaking, Boss Gu added the knife again.
"My mother said, the bamboo raft is not ready yet, you will be free tomorrow, you can go with us to the nearby mountains to find food."
Chen Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded hurriedly in response: "We are willing." ”
"I'm sorry, my brothers and sisters are very unfamiliar with wild vegetables, and if no one leads them, we really don't know what we can eat and what we can't eat."
Boss Gu nodded: "Okay, let's go together tomorrow, I hope we can find some food, so that you don't have to starve." ”
Boss Gu turned around and left, and Chen Chao looked angry.
"Big brother, what do you see what he said, he simply looks down on us and thinks that we are dragging him down, who said that without wild vegetables we must be starving?"
Chen Zhuo looked at Chen Chao's expression and shook his head helplessly.
"Second brother, people are well-intentioned."
Chen Chao looked impatient: "Big brother, don't be simple, it's clear that you just want to watch us play, and this fish, they can't finish eating, so they sent it to us." ”
Seeing Chen Chao chattering, Chen Zhuo shook his head and handed him the chopsticks.
"Even if people can't finish eating and bring it to us, that's love, otherwise if you take this fish out, I'm afraid that others won't be able to grab it."
Chen Chao looked at the fish with all the color and flavor, and knew that what the eldest brother said was right, but he was just unhappy.
The next day, several children of the Gu family continued to weave bamboo rafts, and Li Wei took a few people to the nearby to find food, and notified the rest of the team that anyone who wanted to go could follow along.
In the end, the Chen family was Chen Chao and the two maids who went with him, it was not that there was no one, it was Chen Chao who didn't trust Li Wei and asked everyone to stay and weave the bamboo raft.
As for him, he plans to go with him and supervise Li Wei, so that he can expose her hypocrisy.
Since she was looking for food, Li Wei simply went through the system directly to check if there was anything edible within a radius of one mile, and the big guy took the wrong road.
I didn't expect this check to really exist, just in front of a slope, there was a large piece of wild yam, through the screen, Li Wei saw that large piece, almost didn't laugh.
Li Wei led everyone in the direction of the wild yam, and just a few steps away, she was stopped by Chen Chao.
"There's nothing over there, we picked wild peppercorns over there yesterday."
Li Wei: "You guys are walking too close, I'm going to go a little further inside today." ”
Chen Chao disagreed, pointing to another place and said.
"I think we should go this way."
Li Wei felt that this Chen Chao was here to make trouble.
"As for me, I want to go this way, as for you, you can go whichever way you want."
After speaking, Li Wei strode forward, Chen Chao was so angry that he stomped his feet on the spot, and saw that no one was willing to go with him, so he had no choice but to follow.
Soon Li Wei came to the wild yam, and when she saw the green leaf, Li Wei was refreshed.
"Stone, here's a yam, come and dig it."
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Stone asked.
"Auntie, what is a yam?"
"You haven't eaten yams?"
Several people shook their heads.
Li Wei was surprised, the people here didn't know about yams? The crops in Daqing are very similar to modern times, such as corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes, so Li Wei thought that yams were also available.
"Yam is a kind of food, which is conducive to body monitoring, and is good for indigestion, spleen and stomach loss, and qi deficiency and weakness."
As soon as everyone heard about so many benefits, they immediately became interested.
"Is this leaf an yam?"
Li Wei: "The yam refers to its roots, just dig it out, but this yam is very long and fragile, you have to be careful not to dig it up." ”
As she spoke, Li Wei began to dig, carefully and slowly digging along the roots little by little, and finally dug out one, which was almost a meter long.
Li Wei had never seen such a big wild yam, it was a big deal.
Everyone looked at the yam with a look of curiosity.
"This is the yam, how do you eat it?"
"Remove the skin, eat it steamed, eat it when it is cooked, fry it, grind it into powder and soak it in water."
Everyone was excited when they heard that the way to eat potatoes was similar.
"Great, let's dig up and dig up this piece so that everyone doesn't have to starve."
Only Chen Chao didn't believe it.
"Who knows if this thing is poisonous or not, you dare to take everyone to dig it?"
"What if I get poisoned after eating it?"
"Can you afford to pay for so many lives?"
