Chapter 86 086. Wild vegetables
Bai Suihe also remembered that before Dongmei and Chunxiang, she also had two other older girls who took care of her and raised her.

However, they were older than herself and were arranged to marry by her mother at an early age. She married the manager under her mother, who lived in the farm where Dongmei and her family grew up. Before she got married, she would visit the mansion every year to pay her respects.

Dongmei and Chunxiang were the orphans chosen from the farm. Later they became maids and the family's companions before they left the farm.

"Then I'll go with you to take a look, and by the way, learn from you how to identify wild vegetables." Bai Suihe stood up. It would be better to learn more about this. When he arrived at the place of exile, it would be a time of shortage of food. If he could identify some wild vegetables, he could have more delicious dishes.

Seeing that Bai Suihe insisted, Dongmei and Chunxiang did not stop them. The two girls accompanied them towards the mountainside. When Huang Pingguo saw this, she quickly handed over the things in her hands to Zhuang Datou and hurried to follow.

"Third daughter-in-law of the Gu family, where are you going?" Mrs. Chen was also worried. The food was really not enough. She bought the most, but with so many strong laborers, their appetite was not something that ordinary people could afford.

"Let's go see if we can pick some wild vegetables. We've run out of food and we can't let ourselves go hungry." Bai Suihe said it openly, and raised his voice.

Everyone must know about their family’s difficulties, otherwise the Gu family will not let it go so easily.

"Go pick some wild vegetables," Mrs. Chen's eyes sparkled. "Do you know what wild vegetables are?"

"I don't know her, but my two maids should know her a little bit," Bai Suihe was startled by her sudden enthusiasm. If the two maids hadn't been blocking her in front, Mrs. Chen would probably have grabbed her hand.

"That's great. We'll go with you too. Do you mind?"

Bai Suihe: "..." Since you said that, can I say I mind?

"That's certainly no problem, but we're not sure if we can find any wild vegetables. If we can't, don't blame us."

"Don't blame me, don't blame me," Mrs. Chen certainly understood this truth. Besides, she was so shameless because her master had helped Gu Kaiyuan before.

He even lent the wooden stick he used to walk to Gu Kaiyuan so that he could help drive away the assassins.

Based on this friendship, it should be okay for her to be shameless this time.

Bai Suihe was unaware of all the drama going on in her mind, and followed Chunxiang and the others towards the mountainside.

Mrs. Chen also quickly called a few daughters-in-law and prepared to show off their skills.

"Master, take your sons and light a fire. If we can pick some wild vegetables, we can make a pot of wild vegetable soup tonight."

"Go, go," Chen Dafu swallowed his saliva. Their family had been out of food since yesterday. If they could have some wild vegetable soup, and throw those rotten steamed buns in to process them, they shouldn't be so hard to eat.

"It's autumn now, and even if there are wild vegetables, they are old. Let's find a place near a water source, where there will be some." Chunxiang explored the way ahead and made sure it was safe before supporting Bai Suihe and walking slowly forward.

"You don't have to be so careful, I'm totally fine." Bai Suihe felt that it would be better if she didn't follow at all, as she was simply causing trouble for the two girls. "Just look ahead, I can keep up by myself."

"That won't do. We have to keep an eye on the young lady." Dongmei refused to budge and started looking around.

"There seems to be something in front," Chunxiang seemed to see something at this time. When she got closer, she found that it was Amaranthus, and there was also some plantain by the ditch.

She pulled both vegetables over, handed them to Bai Suihe and the Chen family, and introduced these two wild vegetables to them.

“It’s just that this plantain is a little old, but it’s okay, you can boil it in water and drink it.

We have also sold this plantain to pharmacies before, and the doctors said it has diuretic and heat-clearing effects."

"This is a good thing," Mrs. Chen was very interested in plantain, and told her daughters-in-law to remember it well. "It doesn't matter if it's old. We can boil it into water and let everyone drink some." "If you come across some tender ones, you can use them for cold dishes." Anyway, she had to teach them, and Chunxiang didn't hide it.

Bai Suihe also saw the wild onions on the hillside at this time. "These are quite good. They are delicious even if you stir-fry them."

"Miss, do you know wild onions too?" Dongmei squatted beside Bai Suihe and found a branch to help dig wild onions.

"I've eaten it before. It's the most delicious when fried with bacon." Thinking of the taste, Bai Suihe couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

She has plenty of space for meat, but it's really hard to take it out.

"I remember we still have some bacon in the car..."

Bai Suihe shook his head slightly, "That smell is too overbearing, we'd better not attract hatred.

We'll take it out when we get to the next station.

It’s a pity that these wild onions can’t be kept for that long, so I think they’ll be good if I just stir-fry them today.”

Seeing how hard they were digging, Mrs. Chen and the others came over. Seeing that the whole mountain was covered with wild onions, they were so happy that they cheered.

It’s such a big piece, they can all have a full meal tonight.

Bai Suihe didn't understand what they were so happy about, but still reminded them, "You guys are exaggerating too much, be careful not to attract others."

"Yes, yes, yes, be quiet," Mrs. Chen said quickly. "Start working hard now. Whether our family can have enough to eat depends on you.

And don't tell anyone about this. Let's see how much we can dig tonight."

It's a nice idea, but the noise they made has already attracted the attention of some interested people.

Seeing these two families lying on the ground digging, no one would think they were crazy, but would guess that they must have found something good.

"Come on, let's all go take a look. It's impossible for those people to be playing house there. I suspect there's something going on here that we don't know about."

Once a third group of people know about it, it means everyone knows about it.

Now no one cared about packing up their things. Everyone, regardless of gender, age or status, rushed over and scrambled to dig wild vegetables.

Bai Suihe was really afraid that these people would dig the wrong thing and get poisoned by eating something else.

He quickly asked Dongmei and Chunxiang to go over and help watch over them.

"Want to go pick wild vegetables over there?" Xu Yulan tapped her calf. There was no place for her on the ox cart these past two days, and her legs had been unable to bear it for a long time.

Gu Kaichen, who had just finished collecting firewood and started the fire, felt that this stupid woman was a bit stupid. She didn't take a good rest when she could, but instead found something to do for herself.

"Why are you going? I don't have the strength. Why don't you go with your sister-in-law? You women only know how to do these things anyway."

Liu Yun, "I don't know how to pick wild vegetables. What if I pick the wrong ones and my whole family gets poisoned? Who will be blamed then?"

The Gu family members were all speechless, "..." It seemed to make some sense.
