"Of course."
Ying Qingci's voice was very gentle, which made her relax unconsciously.
"Aunt Liu, please come in first."
Ying Qingci put down the backpack first, and Ying Qinghao glanced at her, "Sister, I'll take Grandma and the others first."
"good."
Walking to the yard, Aunt Liu came to the Ying family for the first time. Last time, something happened at the Ying family's Wen Juyan, so she didn't catch up.
Aunt Liu was really shocked when she saw their yard today.
Thinking that the Ying family was rich, I didn't expect that the Ying family would be so arrogant. Even the yard was more than twice as big as her yard.
"Aunt Liu, drink tea first."
Ying Qingci poured her a cup of tea. Aunt Liu was still a little cautious. She held the teacup with both hands and took a sip slowly.
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but after taking this bite, she felt that her stomach, which was aching from not eating, felt much better now.
She lowered her head and drank all the tea in the cup.
Upon seeing this, Ying Qingci calmly filled her with tea.
When she saw her just now, she discovered that Aunt Liu was in very poor health. Not only was she sick due to overwork, but she also lacked nutrition for a long time. If she didn't adjust in time, the root cause of the disease would fall.
"Aunt Liu, I said before that the people our family hired this time are going to the mountains to help pick raspberries together. However, don't worry, I will ensure the safety of those who go up the mountains with us. If, You haven’t thought it through yet, you can…”
I saw Aunt Liu shaking her head, "Xiao Liu, I have thought about it clearly, I am willing."
If there is no more income at home, there will be nothing to eat. Even if it is black noodles, the tank at home has already bottomed out.
This is the reason why she made up her mind to apply here this time.
Ying Qingci smiled and said, "Aunt Liu, if you come to our house to apply for a job and go up the mountain to pick raspberries, you will be paid a hundred yuan a day. If you have any ideas, you can tell me directly."
"No, no idea."
One hundred coins a day. In the past, she didn't know how many days it would take her to get one hundred coins. She still had to do some hard work, such as washing clothes. In one day, if she was lucky, she could still save a hundred coins. Twenty articles.
Now she can earn up to a hundred cents a day working, which is something she has never thought about. How could she have other ideas?
After hearing her words, Ying Qingci actually understood something. Her family's conditions were not good, so having work to do was the best for Aunt Liu.
"Just in time, we are going to the mountains in a few days. Does Aunt Liu have time?"
"Yes, yes."
Aunt Liu was overjoyed when she heard the news. She thought she would have to start work tomorrow, but she didn't expect that she could start work today.
Although it was only half a day, she said that one day is one hundred coins, and that half day is fifty coins. If you can get it, it can solve your urgent need.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu would come back, so Ying Qingci went to the yard to get an empty backpack and handed it to Aunt Liu.
Touching the backpack in her hand, Aunt Liu's eyes flashed with surprise. If she read correctly, this backpack was made of vines commonly seen in the wild. As for the one on Ying Qingci's body, it seemed to be a branch of a tree.
These...can actually be made into such a basket?
"Aunt Liu, just follow me when we go up the mountain in a while."
"good."
Aunt Liu nodded and followed Ying Qingci.
She had seen the back mountain, but she had never gone up it completely. Even if her family was too poor to open the pot, she did not dare to go up the mountain. She only dared to look for some edible wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain.
Although there are many things on the mountain, they are of little use to people who don’t know them.
Even if she risks her life, she may not be able to find food, but she may not be in danger.
This was her first time going up the mountain. Aunt Liu was undoubtedly curious when she saw the lush wild grasses in the mountains and the patches of wild vegetables on the ground.
Some of the wild vegetables here were familiar to her, but some were unfamiliar to her.
"Aunt Liu, although this is the outskirts, most of the wild vegetables on the ground are edible."
"People in our village don't go to the mountains, so the wild vegetables in the mountains are particularly lush."
Moreover, there are very few people picking them, and year after year, there are more and more wild vegetables on the ground.
Ying Qingci talked for a while and found that there was no movement behind her. When she turned her head, she saw Aunt Liu staring at the wild vegetables on the ground, as if she was thinking about something.
She walked over and saw the wild vegetables on the ground, and then she said, "Aunt Liu, this wild vegetable is small wild garlic. It can be eaten or used as a condiment."
Aunt Liu was slightly startled when she heard Ying Qingci's voice, and quickly turned to look at her.
"Huh? Oh."
"Then, Aunt Liu, let's continue on our way, shall we?"
"good."
The raspberry forest is actually just outside the mountain, just inside. After walking for a while, Ying Qingci and Aunt Liu arrived at the raspberry forest.
She put down the basket she had reached out for. There were already a lot of raspberries in the basket on the ground, which were obviously picked not long ago by Huang Xuecao and the others.
Ying Qingci did not rush over to pick, but looked at Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, I always tell you some techniques for picking raspberries..."
"Ah good."
When she saw the raspberry forest, Aunt Liu was really shocked. She didn't expect that there was such a tree in the mountains.
It is covered with red fruits, which looks particularly attractive.
"Xiao...Xiao Liu, can these fruits...be eaten?"
"Yes, you can eat it."
Ying Qingci nodded, "Aunt Liu, this is a raspberry, an edible fruit, and it is also our purpose today."
After saying that, Ying Qingci told her a few more things to pay attention to when picking.
Raspberries are relatively fragile, so don't use too much force, otherwise, the juice will be squeezed out and the fruit will not be of much use.
"Don't worry, I will pay attention."
"Well, you should also pay attention to your own safety when picking."
"good."
Aunt Liu nodded and carefully remembered what Ying Qingci said.
After that, I started trying to pick it up.
You need to be careful when picking raspberries. Firstly, the raspberry trees grow on hillsides, which may be dangerous due to the terrain. Secondly, the fruits themselves need to be careful not to break them.
There are a lot of raspberries here. Even though Ying Qingci and Ying Qinghao had dug up a lot of raspberry seedlings at that time, they could hardly be felt in such a huge forest.
After seeing Aunt Liu getting on the right track, she walked aside, picked up the basket, and started picking.
Time passed little by little, and Aunt Liu gradually became more proficient from being unfamiliar at first, and her raspberry picking movements also began to become faster.
Not long after, a small layer of raspberries was already spread in the basket...
