Lucky Wife at 50s

Qin Tianru was not noticed by anyone in the village during the two days she was out. After all, she herself has always been at home and doesn't like to drop by.

Therefore, even if they didn't see her for two days, the villagers didn't feel anything.

The day after Qin Tianru returned home, he followed Qi Qing up the mountain with a basket and deliberately showed his face in front of people.

In the midsummer season, the sun came out early, and the two aunts and sisters wore straw hats and went up the mountain slowly.

"Hey, sister-in-law, have you noticed that there seem to be a lot of wild vegetables growing in this mountain?"

Qi Qing looked around carefully, and indeed found that fresh and tender wild vegetables were growing in several places, which surprised her a little.

After all, when they went up the mountain some time ago, many places were pulled bare. It's only been a long time, and so many wild vegetables have grown.

Qin Tianru smiled knowingly, "What's so strange about this, have you ever heard the ancient poem 'The wildfire can't burn out, the spring breeze blows again', this natural creature is inherently tenacious, as long as there is a little bit of vitality in the soil, They can break through the ground with tenacity.”

"Well, it makes sense. I was just a little surprised. I didn't expect it to grow so quickly." Qi Qing was quite touched.

Qin Tian smiled, "Maybe God can't stand it anymore. He wants to leave a ray of life for the suffering ordinary people, but no matter what, this is also a good thing, let's just pick it up."

"Sister-in-law is right." Qi Qing grinned instantly, and felt that she was thinking too much.

Sure enough, along the way, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law met several waves of teams picking wild vegetables. Obviously, everyone knew that there were a lot of wild vegetables growing in the mountains and came to pick them specially.

Everyone had a smile on their face, everyone was talking and laughing, and they looked very lively and cheerful, and the melancholy between their brows and eyes became lighter.

The aunt and sister-in-law did not go to crowded places, but took a different route.

Qi Qing didn't have any objection during the whole process, and followed her sister-in-law directly and docilely.

"What are you looking at?"

When Qin Tianru saw Qi Qing keep looking around, as if he was looking for something, he couldn't help but find it interesting.

Qi Qing whispered, "I'm looking to see if there are any pheasants or hares around here."

After all, she followed her sister-in-law into the mountain, and almost nine times out of ten, she would encounter wild animals. Now that they are all getting closer to the edge of the deep mountain, it is estimated that wild animals should almost be brought up.

Hearing this, Qin Tianru couldn't help laughing, and dared to think like this.

She sees, 80% of the time, Xiaoqing is greedy. The rabbits raised in the backyard were kept for breeding, and they were pregnant with cubs a few days ago, so they must not be eaten.

During this period of time, all the meat eaten at home came from the pheasants that were kept in captivity before, and occasionally the pork brought back from the commune by the father, but it was only a slender piece of meat, at most half a catty.

This is all because my father-in-law works in the commune. With this convenience, I can say hello to the pig slaughtering farm, but pork is in short supply, and I cannot have it every day.

However, the Qi family didn't plan to eat meat every day. Who makes today's environment special? If their family eats meat every day, the look on their faces can't be concealed.

After all, everyone in the village has a sallow complexion, and their cheeks are thin. This is what they should look like because they have not eaten well for a long time. It is not like their family. Mother and Xiaoqing have become more rounded.

If you don't consciously control your diet, it's not good to be too different from the people in the village.

Therefore, during this period of time, their family only had a good meal every three or five years, but even so, it was much better than the life of the villagers.

Now the pheasants at home have been eaten up several times, and there has been no meat and fish for several days.

"Then look carefully, I'm going to pick wild vegetables."

Qi Qing nodded and replied, "Well, I'm watching carefully."

So, Qin Tianru went to the wild vegetable field not far ahead, where a small piece of daylily grew.

This day lily is the best picking season in June, July and August every year. It is a 'treasure on the table' to puzzle the mind and calm the mind. It can be eaten or used as medicine, but it is best to eat it as a dry product. After soaking in boiling water, it can be Stir fry, make soup.

Because fresh day lily contains colchicine, which has certain toxicity, it is easy to cause food poisoning if it is not cooked properly or eaten in large quantities.

On the other side, Qi Qing was still checking the movement, thinking about when the wild animals would be delivered to the door.

Qin Tianru picked half a basket of day lilies and continued to move to the next place. Since she learned her new skills, every time she went up the mountain, she would first find out the situation nearby, which would save a lot of unnecessary time and go straight. destination.

"Xiaoqing, go!"

"Oh, come on~"

Qi Qing was very disappointed when she didn't see the wild animals, but she quickly calmed down. Anyway, with her sister-in-law here, she wouldn't suffer anyhow.

Two or three hundred meters away, Qin Tianru came to the second place.

"Sister-in-law, what is this?"

Seeing a large field of purple flowers in front of her, Qi Qing turned to ask her sister-in-law.

Qin Tianru's eyes moved slightly, "It should be ginseng."

Frankly speaking, it was the first time she saw the flowering ginseng, and she was able to recognize it because of her supernatural powers.

This ginseng is a commonly used health care medicinal material, and it is also a good health care product for nourishing yin and clearing heat. In daily life, sun-dried ginseng is often used to make soup.

But fresh ginseng can also be steamed, eaten cold, or used to make porridge, just like yam.

However, this discovery made Qin Tianru happy.

When I had breakfast this morning, I heard that many people have started to run out of food, and now they rely on some vegetable leaves to cook soup to eat.

June, for ordinary people, should be the most difficult month, because many crops only begin to mature after July.

Those that are harvested later will have to wait until October, and those that can be harvested in July are already harvested earlier.

However, there is nothing in June, and can only rely on the food next to it as the staple food.

I didn't expect that I would get a harvest today when I went up the mountain. Although this ginseng can't be eaten completely, it is at least a kind of food to satisfy hunger.

"Is this flower edible?"

Seeing her sister-in-law staring at the purple flowers, Qi Qing naturally thought that these flowers were edible.

Qin Tianru squatted down and pulled out a plant, only to see that the root under the flower stem was white and shaped like a carrot, but it was a little longer than a carrot.

"Only the roots can be eaten."

"Ah? Is this slender tree stick edible?"

Qi Qing was slightly surprised, looking at her sister-in-law holding the ginseng in her hand, she felt that the root was not delicious.
