Seeing this, Liu Heixiong sighed, "I also know that there is no food, but fortunately, it is summer, and there are many prey in the forest, let's hunt more, and with some wild vegetables, we can always eat enough." In addition, we have planted a lot of crops, and we can harvest grain in the autumn, barely enough to eat, so we don't have to take risks. ”

After hearing this, the third master also nodded, "Big brother is right, we are bandits after all, and it is not appropriate to go to the county seat more." If you get caught, there's only one way out. Back then, as long as we could live our lives, who would still be bandits? ”

"Well, I think it's a shame." Mo Wufu frowned and said, he has always been a counselor in the village, so even if he goes, it is not him who goes. Therefore, he felt that even if there was danger, it was not that he was in danger.

On the contrary, he felt that Liu Heixiong was dead, and he, the second in charge, could justifiably become a big boss, and he could get everything about Liu Heixiong, house, woman, and money······

Liu Heixiong shook his head, not caring at all, "It's a bit of a pity, but life is the most important." Anyway, it's more or less meat, the third, the fourth, quickly lead someone to skin the venison and kill it, and divide it, and each family can still eat some meat. ”

"Yes, big brother." The three masters, the four masters responded in unison, carrying the deer, and they opened their intestines and divided the meat.

After a while, every family was given a share of the meat. Although there is no food, there are wild vegetables, and you can eat them to a good time.

Sun's venison and wild vegetable soup for Liu Yiyi, although the ingredients are small and the taste is average, but it is already a rare delicacy for a village that cannot eat all year round.

Liu Yiyi ate a few pieces of meat and another bowl of vegetables, and was full.

The willow black bear did not bring people to exchange food, and the meat could not last too long, so it had to take people out hunting. Although it is not always fully loaded, it is not empty-handed every time, and with wild vegetables, you can barely eat enough.

Liu Yiyi stared at the sweet potatoes with blank eyes, hoping that it would be autumn soon and the sweet potatoes would be harvested. Boiled and eaten, roasted and eaten, the taste is very good, and the sweet potatoes that cannot be eaten can also be made into starch, used to burn paste, and can also be used to make vermicelli, which can be stored for a long time and can be eaten as rice.

Xiaolan followed Liu Yiyi's side, and saw that the seedlings that had been cut out were all alive, and they were very lush and tender, and asked, "Miss, can we pick some tender sweet potato seedlings to eat?" ”

Xiaolan thought very simply, what people eat, pigs can eat, and similarly, what pigs can eat, people should also be able to eat.

Wild vegetables in summer, although they can also be eaten, are bitter and astringent, and they are old and not delicious. But these fresh sweet potato leaves that have just grown are different, they are very tender and must be delicious when they are picked.

Liu Yiyi was thinking about how to tell Xiaolan to pinch off these extra forks, otherwise the nutrients would be absorbed by the branches and leaves, and the sweet potatoes below would grow small.

Liu Yiyi nodded, "I think it's okay, as long as you don't pick the leaves on the main stem, it should be fine." ”

Xiaolan was delighted, "Then let's try." ”

From this day on, Xiaolan began to pick sweet potato leaves, Sun fried the water, and then fried it, put some salt, and it tasted good. It can be used to cook soup, or used to make wowotou, it can be much more delicious than wild vegetables.

Xiaolan told her family about this incident, and also told the people in the village that everyone began to try to eat sweet potato leaves, and after that, everyone no longer wanted to eat bitter, astringent and old wild vegetables.

Xiaolan saw that they inadvertently planted this thing called sweet potato seedlings, which actually made everyone like it, and felt very proud, but also felt regretful, "Miss, I already knew that sweet potato seedlings are more delicious than wild vegetables, so let's take more cuttings." ”

If you just eat the leaves, don't ask for the sweet potatoes below, and now take some cuttings, it's okay!

Liu Yiyi nodded, "Then why don't we take advantage of the summer and try it?" In the past, we blanched and dried wild vegetables, and maybe we could also blanch and dry sweet potato seedlings and keep them for winter. ”

When Xiaolan heard this, her eyes lit up, and she nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, anyway, we're okay now, I'll go and tell Madame, let's mobilize more people to plant." ”

If you don't work hard in the summer, you won't get anything in the fall, and you'll be hungry in the winter.

Although Xiaolan is not smart, this is her life experience, so as long as she can eat enough in winter and work hard in summer, it is worth it.

Xiaolan ran to find Sun, "Madam, the sweet potato seedlings we ate recently were taken by Miss with me to cut them, as long as you hit the extra forks on the top and insert them directly into the soil, you can survive, and one plant can grow a large number of branches and leaves." These leaves can be eaten when they are fresh, and when they are dried, they should be able to be eaten as well. ”

Sun was spinning thread with hemp, and was slightly stunned, "This is Yiyi who took you to cutting?" ”

Xiaolan nodded, "Yes, madam, it's Miss." The young lady also said that she had a dream when an old man with a white beard told her that it was edible. Not only the leaves can be eaten, but also things that grow under the roots.

It turns out that sweet potato leaves can be eaten, let's have a variety of them, okay? Madam, let's be busy in the summer, prepare more dried vegetables, plus the grain we harvested, and make a nest, so that we don't have to go hungry this winter. ”

As soon as she encountered food, Xiaolan suddenly became smarter than usual.

Liu Yiyi understands this feeling, and also feels that Xiaolan is not stupid, and she is also a material that can be made if she guides her well.

Sun didn't spin anymore, and when he went outside, he picked sweet potato leaves and blanched them, and under the big sun, they could be half-dried on the same day, and the taste was good.

Sun said to Xiaolan and Liu Yiyi: "Xiaolan, Yiyi, the white-bearded old man in the dream is a fairy, let's not talk about it outside." The old fairy dreamed and didn't want more people to know, if we said it, it might not work. ”

She is an adult and knows how to protect her daughter.

Liu Yiyi nodded, "Well, mother, I know, I won't say it in the future." ”

Xiaolan also hurriedly promised, "Madam, I won't say it, even my father and mother, I won't say it." ”

Sun nodded and touched Xiaolan's head, "When I'm done, I'll make clothes for Yiyi and Xiaolan." ”

In order to have dried vegetables to eat in winter, Sun led the women in the house to start cutting sweet potato seedlings. Sun used to be Miss Jiao, but in the cottage, everyone worked, and she couldn't help but do it, so she slowly became an expert in work.

Although he didn't have much strength, Sun's hands and feet were nimble, and he did some light work, and his speed was quite fast.

These sweet potatoes grow very well, only ten days later, they grow lush, and the newly grown forks are picked, blanched and dried, and preserved. Each family has prepared several sacks, enough to eat in winter.

The pigs in the pigsty were also blessed, with endless sweet potato seedlings and pigweed.

Men, women, and children all go into battle and work hard to be fed.
