Chapter 11: A Lot of Shepherd's Cabbage
Lin Wan'er's family has three acres of good paddy fields at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, with long ditches interspersed with them, and irrigation is very convenient. But at this time, it is not yet the season to plant rice, and Lin Wan'er's family has only planted one season of wheat, which can be harvested in another month.
"Sister, look, there's a lot of shepherd's cabbage here." Xiao Qi shouted happily, he had already started digging it, and now there was a handful of baskets stuffed.
Lin Wan'er also saw the shepherd's cabbage, a small one, growing close to the ground, their emerald figures are common on both sides of the ridge, now this season the shepherd's cabbage is the most delicious and refreshing, Lin Wan'er's favorite before is the dumplings stuffed with shepherd's cabbage, a bite down, the mouth is full of the deliciousness of the meat and the fragrance of the shepherd's cabbage, now just think about it, saliva is going to flow out.
Thinking of eating, Lin Wan'er was full of strength, digging from one side of the ridge to the other, and the two of them dug a basket full of shepherd's cabbage in a short time, and they were almost unable to fit it.
I knew that there were so many shepherd's cabbage in the field, it would be good for her to bring a larger basket when she went out, fortunately, the shepherd's cabbage did not have long legs, as long as no one found out and came to dig, it would not run away by itself, Lin Wan'er decided, tomorrow she will take Xiaoqi to come and dig, it is best to come and dig with the whole family, anyway, there are so many shepherd's cabbages here, it is a waste to grow here, it is better to go into their stomachs.
"Xiao Qi, okay, let's not dig today, let's come back tomorrow, so many shepherd's cabbages are enough to eat for a day." Shepherd's cabbage is still the freshest to eat on the day of digging, and it is easy to lose nutrients after a long time, and the taste will become bitter, stuck in the throat and difficult to swallow.
Xiao Qi obviously knew this truth, and after hearing Lin Wan'er's words, he also stopped digging, "Sister, let's go to Nanshan tomorrow, okay?" Xiao Qi looked at Lin Wan'er with longing eyes, and she didn't know if the wild cherry trees on the mountain were ripe, and they all bore fruit when she came half a month ago.
"Let's talk to the eldest brother and the second brother when I get home." Lin Wan'er was not in a hurry to agree to his request, but she did not refuse him immediately, after all, she was not familiar with Nanshan, and she didn't know whether there was danger on the mountain, and she would not be able to make a decision until she asked the eldest brother and second brother after returning home.
"The eldest brother and the second brother will definitely agree, there are many fruit trees on the mountain, the fruit is red, sour and sweet, no worse than what is sold in the town, the second brother likes to eat it very much, and he always likes to rob with Xiaoqi." Xiao Qi couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva when he thought of the wild cherry trees in the mountains, "Sister, Xiao Qi can't wait, let's go home quickly, we can enter Nanshan early tomorrow morning." Xiao Qi cheered, and was about to run when he lifted the basket, but unfortunately he couldn't lift it with his strength at all, and he almost overturned the basket when he barely lifted it.
Lin Wan'er hurriedly took over the basket at the moment before the basket was overturned by him, there were several wild eggs in this basket, the basket rolled down the hillside, and the shepherd's cabbage inside was easy to pick up, this wild egg was broken but couldn't be buckled, for insurance, she still carried it, but the basket was really heavy.
So, in the end, Lin Wan'er and Xiao Qi, one of them carried one side of the basket, and the two of them worked together to bring a basket of loot home.
When they got home, Gorou Rokuro also came back from the market, and the two of them were sitting on the big bluestone at the door waiting for someone to open the door, and Lin Wan'er locked the door in the courtyard when she left, and they didn't have a key to go in, so they could only wait outside.
