Li Zelan patted the dust on his hands and looked at the eight aniseed basket, "Cousin, can you finish eating so much?"

"How come you can't finish it all?" Su Ziling looked back at him, dumbfounded, "This star anise is a good thing. It can not only be used as a seasoning, but like grass and fruit, it is also a medicine. It can clear away heat and detoxify, resolve phlegm and reduce swelling, and can also be used for sore throats, snake bites, etc., so it is expensive in drug stores."

After listening to her words, Li Zelan couldn't close his mouth for a long time, "Cousin, how do you know so much?"

"I don't sell braised pork and braised sausages. I buy those star anise, strawberries and cinnamon at the drug store. The shopkeeper can tell me."

"Oh!"

The two walked slowly down the mountain. Li Zelan was carrying a backpack, and Su Ziling was walking in front to open the way, "Slow down, there is a bump here."

"Be careful, the loose hair here is thick and slippery."

"Don't touch this bush, there are caterpillars in it."

Su Ziling reminded him as she walked. Of course, every time she reminded him, she stepped on those pitfalls once.

After leaving the mountain forest, there is a large plain with a pool of water on it. The large plain is covered with grass, but it is not high, and it is all like chain grass.

It's much better when you come here. Turn down from here and you will reach the place where they hide the backpack.

The road was easy, and Li Zelan walked much faster. He caught up with Su Ziling, but found her squatting on the ground, digging with a sickle.

"What are you doing, cousin?"

Su Ziling stood up and said, "It's okay. I found a field of wild kohlrabi here. I don't have time. Let's dig it tomorrow."

Li Zelan took a look and found that he didn't recognize it. "Just remember to get to the location. You can't lose it anyway. Let's go. The sun is going to set."

"Yeah." Su Ziling responded. She didn't throw away the dug tree, but took it back.

There is no jungle here, so the way down the mountain is much easier. After a cup of tea, the two of them arrived at the place where they hid the grass and fruits.

After digging through the bushes, they found that the backpacks and sacks were still there. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Although they knew that no one was coming, they still felt a little scared.

One person was carrying a basket on his back, and a sack of grass fruits was placed on top of the basket. The two of them, who had been tired for a whole day, were instantly bent over. One person chopped a stick and used it as a crutch, and slowly walked towards home. go.

Facing the evening breeze, the orange sunset covered the two of them, and the sun stretched their shadows, lengthened, infinitely longer.

They were climbing mountains, going downhill, climbing trees, and carrying baskets on their backs. The steamed buns they ate during the day had long been digested, and both of them were ravenous with hunger.

Li Zelan walked behind, "Cousin, are you hungry?"

Su Ziling wiped her sweat and said, "Are you hungry?"

"I'm already hungry," Li Zelan chuckled, "I feel like I can eat a whole bowl of rice now!"

"But I have this, do you want it?"

Su Ziling looked back and saw a handful of wild kiwis in his hand. They were small, like table tennis balls, and covered with hair.

Su Ziling's eyes lit up, "Where did you pick it?"

"On the mountain," he handed the wild kiwi to Su Ziling, "take it, I have a few more here."

Su Ziling took it and ate it while walking. The wild kiwi fruit was already ripe. She didn't know whether she was very hungry or something else, but she felt that the wild kiwi fruit was particularly delicious and sweet.

"How do you know this fruit is edible?"

Li Zelan replied while eating: "I don't know!"

Su Ziling: "..."

"You dare to eat it even if I don't know?" The ones I picked are edible, but what if they are inedible?

"Although I don't know if it is edible, I saw some birds eating it. Those birds are very smart. They won't eat the small ones or the hard ones. They only pick out the big rake ones."

After he finished eating one, he took out another one, not forgetting to comfort Su Ziling, "Don't worry, it's definitely not poisonous. I saw that the bird was flying around after eating it, so it's definitely not poisonous."

"Next time if you don't know if you can eat it, don't touch it. What if it's really poisonous?"

Her voice was too serious, and Li Zelan was dumbfounded, but still responded obediently, "Oh, I know, I will never touch someone I don't know next time."

"Yes." Su Ziling nodded, and then changed her voice, "Where did you pick this wild kiwi fruit from the top of the mountain? Are there many vines? And the kiwi fruit, right?"

Li Zelan: "..."

"Didn't you say, don't pick those you don't recognize?" he asked.

Su Ziling coughed, "Yes, I won't pick it if you don't know it, but I know this one, so I can pick it."

"Oh," Li Zelan nodded, "I just found one, but it has a lot of knots. If I picked them all, it would probably be half full."

Her eyes brightened when she heard this, "Let's come back tomorrow to pick wild kiwi fruits and dig geranium roots."

When the two returned home, the sun had already set. Su A'nai was collecting peppers and fern root powder. During this time, dew began to appear. If they didn't collect it, the fern root powder would be all wet when they woke up the next day.

The two of them smelled the aroma of cooking as soon as they entered the yard. They were so hungry that they felt dizzy. When they suddenly smelled the smell, they began to salivate.

"You're back? Why are you so late today?"

Hearing the sound, Su's father and others hurried out and helped the two of them carry the baskets, "Why are you carrying so much? Next time, carry less and run twice more!"

Father Su's face was filled with distress, "Are you exhausted? Take a drink of water and wash your hands quickly. Your grandma's rice is almost ready."

Su Ziling and Li Zelan were so tired that they sat down on the ground. The journey was too long. The two of them ran up several mountains, climbed up and down, and carried so many things. Now when they sat down, their calves were sore and they stood up. They will tremble unconsciously.

Axiu's pigs have also been fed, and the cow grass has been thrown away. In just over four months, those piglets have weighed fifty or sixty pounds, which is also because they are eating well.

We feed them all the sweet potato residues, sweet potato vines, and pot water at home, and occasionally mix them with corn bran. They will grow rapidly. I estimate that when the New Year pigs are killed next year, there will be two hundred It’s coming.
