Weizhou has been following Ruoxuan closely. Seeing her stop, he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with Xuanbao?"
The brothers in front heard it and stopped: "Sister, what's wrong?"
"This wild bamboo shoot is almost old, why hasn't anyone picked it back to eat?" Xiuxuan asked, pointing to the fat, white part on the wild rice stalk.
After hearing this, Xiaozhou explained: "These are wild wild rice. They are infected with diseases and insect pests. They do not ear and grow wild rice, so they cannot be eaten."
Wenbian and others nodded: "Yes, you can't eat it. What we eat is wild rice. Only pigs eat wild rice seedlings."
Villagers sometimes cut it back for pigs to eat, but this area is a wetland with water everywhere. Many people find it troublesome and are afraid of getting their clothes wet, so they rarely come to cut it.
The weather is getting a bit cooler now, and getting wet can easily lead to colds, so people will not come to cut.
Ruoxuan shook her head: "No, that part is the wild bamboo shoots and you can eat them. You can't eat the wild rice shoots. Just eat the white part. It's delicious."
Weak Hang was doubtful: "Huh? This is what pigs eat. Can humans eat it?"
It was Qiao Zhou who made the decision: "Then I'll take a few home and try them. Don't pigs also eat leftover food? This proves that it's not poisonous."
It’s just that he thought more. Such a large field of wild wild grass can be found in other villages. If it can be eaten...
That's incredible!
Xianbang supported his sister the most: "Okay, Xuan Bao said it can be eaten, it must be delicious! Let's pick some and eat it back!"
Xiaobo: "Brother makes sense. How many of them can we pick back? Pigs can eat them anyway, so they shouldn't be poisonous."
Ruohang nodded: "Try it first. If you can eat it, let's go back and notify our fourth uncle that they have come to pick it up and sell it for money in the city."
When they heard that they could be sold for money, several children quickly clamored to go pick them.
Xianzhou hurriedly stopped him, "I'll pick them, but you guys stand still. You'll get cold if your clothes get wet. Pick a few and go back and try them first!"
"Okay!" Several children listened to their elder brother's words, responded and stood still.
Wei Zhou quickly twisted a few wild bamboo shoots up, and Wei Xuan peeled off all the green leaves on the surface, revealing the white wild bamboo shoots inside: "This is ready to eat."
She just stuffed it into her mouth and tried it for them to see. Frightened, Xiao Zhou stopped her and said, "Xuan Bao, don't eat it yet. We'll eat it when we get home. Let's continue looking for the bastard."
Xiaobo was also afraid of being poisonous and hurriedly coaxed: "Don't eat Xuan Bao yet. If people see it and know it can be eaten, others will take advantage of it. Let's go home and hide it to eat. We'll go find the bastard first."
Ruoxuan put it away and said, "Okay."
But she looked at the field of wild grass and said suspiciously: "Do you have to look for the bastard? There are many wild duck eggs and wild ducks here."
"Of course not!" the brothers said in unison.
Wild duck eggs are bigger than bastard eggs and harder to find, okay?
Because everyone in the village is looking for wild duck eggs, wild duck eggs are almost impossible to find now.
And now there are almost all bastards picked up by them, so there may not be any.
"Xuan Bao, where are the wild duck eggs?"
Ruoxuan stretched out her chubby fingers and pointed to several places at different distances: "There is it there, there is it there, and..."
This time, the brothers didn't care about getting wet. They took off their shoes, rolled up their trouser legs, and went down to pick up duck eggs with baskets in hand.
But no one agreed to let Ruoxuan go down.
Ruoxuan could only stand on the side and point out the country and tell them where the duck eggs were.
"Brother, take ten more steps forward!"
"Second brother, continue walking half a foot..."
…
After they finished picking up the duck eggs, she took the opportunity to cast a magic spell to immobilize a few wild ducks.
"Brother, if you go one foot further, there is a wild duck..."
"Third brother, go to the right..."
…
By the time Mrs. Lei and Mr. Liu saw that the children had not returned home for such a long time, the children had already picked up three baskets full of duck eggs and caught four wild ducks!
The children said excitedly: "Milk, we picked up a lot of duck eggs!"
"Milk, we caught a wild duck!"
…
Mrs. Lei was shocked: "Why did you pick up so many?"
It must be another good thing done by my precious granddaughter.
She looked around and was relieved when she didn't see any villagers.
When Ruoxuan saw Mrs. Lei and Mrs. Liu coming, she picked up the white and tender wild bamboo shoots and stretched them in front of them. She said happily: "Mistress, pick wild bamboo shoots and sell them for money! You can fry these with meat." "It can also be eaten raw."
As she said that, she picked up one and ate it raw.
Mrs. Lei and Ms. Liu were shocked, but felt relieved when they thought of Xuan Bao's ability.
"How can Xuan Bao eat randomly!" Mrs. Liu quickly took the wild bamboo shoots from her hand.
"Is this a wildgrass stem?" Mrs. Lei recognized it at a glance as she looked at the white and tender thing that looked like the tips of bamboo shoots.
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Xiuxuan emphasized with a serious face: "Yeah, wild bamboo shoots, delicious! Milk, take it home and fry it and try it. After you try it, you can pick it and sell it for money. It's sweet, not poisonous, and even pigs can eat it."
She also explained it in the words of her brothers.
The brothers also spoke to Ruoxuan.
Weak Zhou: "Yes, Xuan Bao said it's edible. I'm thinking of picking it up and taking it home to try."
Wenbian: "Grandma, mother, Xuan Bao is really good. She can find a duck egg with certainty. She says it can be eaten, so it will definitely be eaten!"
…
Mrs. Lei now trusts Xuan Bao unconditionally.
She directly picked up a wild bamboo shoot and took a bite. Her eyes lit up after tasting it!
If these wildgrass stems are edible, then there are so many wildgrasses in this wetland...
There are also many wild lands growing in these wild grasses throughout Shaxi County.
Mrs. Lei thought a lot, and she was so excited that she kissed Xuan Xuan: "Xuan Bao is really our little lucky star!"
She excitedly said to Mrs. Liu: "Wen Yu, go back and call Lao Si and the others over, bring the guys with you, and let's cut the wild bamboo shoots!"
"Okay!" Mrs. Liu saw Mrs. Lei trying it directly. Thinking that the pig would be fine if she ate it, she also took a bite to taste it. It had a unique sweetness and texture.
She had already thought of several dishes after taking one bite!
"I'll go right away!" Mrs. Liu responded and ran back to call someone.
Weixuan could not go to the ground. The water in this wetland could submerge half of her body. Mrs. Lei told Xuan Bao to sit by the side obediently, and she took some sturdy grandchildren to pick wild rice.
Men from weak families have to start working in the fields at the age of five, so Mrs. Lei didn't even get used to the smallest weak side.
Soon the water and the river were weak, and several people from the Jiang family pushed carts to the wetland and started cutting wild bamboo shoots in full swing.
Ruoxuan watched everyone stepping around on the wet ground and wanted to go play.
She is a flower! Most like water and mud.
But now she was a human and couldn't go down, so she took out the newly rented book that Ruo Shui had rented in the study from her arms and read it to divert her attention.
Ruoshui always paid attention to his daughter's movements, and felt relieved when he saw her obediently turning the pages of a book and playing.
The sun is gradually setting in the west.
The villagers went to the fields one after another to pour vegetables in the vegetable garden.
When everyone saw the weak family cutting wild grass, they all asked: "Mother Lei, why are you cutting wild grass?"
"Mrs. Lei, do you raise pigs at home? Is cutting the wild grass to feed the pigs?"
"Mrs. Lei, did your family buy piglets?"
"No! How can I have money to raise piglets? We can hardly afford to raise piglets! I have no food at home, and the boss has no money to buy medicine. My Xuanbao said that the wild grass is edible, so I will cut it I want to take some back to eat, and I also want to cut some and sell it in the city to see if anyone wants it. Do you want to cut some and take it back to try?" Mrs. Lei said openly.
She had never thought of hiding it, and she couldn't, because this piece of wild grass was very conspicuous, and not far away was the village's vegetable field.
Instead of gathering wild bamboo shoots secretly and selling them, it is better to tell everyone openly and openly. Being secretive will make people more suspicious.
When she said this, everyone walked away without interest.
Cut the wild grass and eat it back? Not afraid of poisoning yourself to death!
Still want to take it to the city and sell it? Would people in the city be so stupid as to buy these weeds?
Weak families are so poor that they are crazy!
