"This fried tofu dregs is delicious, sour and spicy, and even more delicious when sandwiched in steamed buns."
"How can it not be delicious if it's fried with minced meat? You can try it without the meat. I still think the pickled vegetables are appetizing, and the peanuts are still crispy."
"It's delicious without meat. Last time I fried it with pickled vegetables. The tofu dregs didn't have meat. Just a little bit of chili powder made it delicious."
"Hehe, I think meat is the most delicious. Even this wild garlic has the flavor of meat."
"Tsk, that's meat, how can meat not taste good? I've never seen meat that tastes bad."
"No, no, try this soup!"
"Soup? What's wrong with the soup? It looks so bland. Let me try it."
"Wait, be careful..."
"hiss!"
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Before the man uttered the word "burn", many people were scalded one after another. For a while, the sound of people gasping for air could be heard in the mountains.
"Huh? Don't tell me, this soup is refreshing, sour and spicy, and appetizing. Try it, but be careful of the heat."
People didn't care much about it. They just sat on the ground, holding a steamed bun in one hand and a soup bowl in the other. The dishes were placed in the middle of the road, and whoever wanted to eat could help themselves.
Maybe they were hungry, or the dishes cooked by Su Ziling were especially appetizing, or maybe there were too many people, or the food smelled better in the mountains.
Everyone took a bite of steamed bun, a bite of vegetable and a sip of soup, enjoying the delicious food. The full steamer of steamed buns was dwindling at a speed visible to the naked eye. When there were no more steamed buns, Su Ziling brought out a bucket of corn paste and scooped a bowl of it for each person.
With some pickles and cold dishes, everyone ate until their bellies were full.
Even the pickle juice and soup at the bottom of the basin were eaten by everyone using steamed buns. Everything was eaten up, and the basin and bucket were left clean.
Ever since they ate the meals cooked by Su Ziling, they finally knew what it meant to eat. What they ate before was just enough to fill their stomachs.
I didn’t feel it before, but after eating her cooking for a few days, and then going home to eat the cooking cooked by my own wife, the difference is so obvious.
Therefore, eating lunch every day has become the thing they look forward to most. Every day they just think about getting to noon quickly and thinking about what delicious food they will eat today. Many people even think that digging roads every day is also good.
After eating, everyone rested for a while, drank some water and continued to dig the road. Su Ziling packed up the things, fixed them on the ox cart, put on the backpack and took the sack and walked into the mountains.
Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Su's father, "Dad, my mother and I are going to the mountains for a walk. You watch the cow and let it eat grass for a while. Then remember to move it to another place."
"Okay, I got it. Go ahead." Father Su stopped, holding the hoe in one hand and waving at them with the other.
"By the way, do you have your knives? If not, take mine." As he said this, he was about to untie the knife from his waist.
"Yes, I brought it. I also chopped two sticks." Su Ziling shook the stick in his hand to show him.
The grass in the mountains has grown lush these two days, and there are more snakes, insects, rats and ants. You still have to bring a knife and a stick to explore the way in advance when you go into the mountains.
"Go ahead, don't run too far, come back early."
During breakfast in the morning, Su Ziling mentioned at the table that she was going to pick tea today, so when Su's father heard her say that she wanted to go into the mountains for a walk, he didn't ask any more questions.
Their land is still closer to the village, but still some distance away from Black Stone Ridge.
The mother and daughter did not dare to delay and quickened their pace. In a moment (forty-eight minutes), they arrived at the tea forest.
I did a simple cleanup last year and the grass became much smaller, but it has been a few months since the Chinese New Year and the grass has grown again.
"Wow! We arrived just in time. The tea leaves are just the right size."
Looking at the tender green tea leaves, Su Mu was delighted. The tea leaves had not yet fallen apart and were all in two petals. It was a good time to pick them.
It’s probably because the tea forest was cleaned up last year. This year there was enough rain, so the tea leaves are growing much better than last year.
"Come, come, come, pick the grass quickly, and then clean up the grass after you're done." Su's mother turned the backpack in front of her and started pinching it quickly with both hands.
"It's a good thing I came with you today, otherwise you wouldn't be able to pick all the fruits by yourself."
"Yes, yes, yes, mother is really amazing. Otherwise, I really can't pick them all by myself. Today, mother and daughter, let's work hard and try to pick them all. Otherwise, tomorrow there will be a lot more, and the leaves will be scattered the day after tomorrow."
Su Ziling joked, but his hands did not stop moving at all.
They were busy until the sun set and finally the mother and daughter had picked all the tea leaves.
The two men shook their hands, sat on the ground and drank some water. One of them carried a basket and a sack of tea and hurried back.
In order to finish picking the fruits today, they didn't even take a break or drink a sip of water.
But when I saw the two backpacks and two sacks of tea, I suddenly didn't feel tired anymore.
When they returned to the ox cart, everyone had not finished their work yet. They had to dig for a while while the weather was cooler, and would not go home until dark.
Seeing that they were carrying so many things, some people curiously asked what they were.
Su Ziling raised the bundle of wild vegetables in his hand and said, "I'll mix a bowl of wild vegetables for everyone tomorrow. These two days' wild vegetables are the tenderest. I was planning to go into the mountains with my mother to see if there are any mushrooms, but I didn't expect they're not out yet."
"So, I came across a patch of wild vegetables, so I picked them all. I thought if I couldn't finish them, I could blanch them and dry them in the sun and save them for the winter."
After hearing her say this, no one thought much about it.
"Mushrooms? That's too early. They will start to grow in May. Although there's more rain this year than in previous years, it's hot here, so they won't grow that quickly."
"You won't find anything if you look for it now, but wait a few days and the bracken will be ready. You can go pick it then. It's all over the mountains and fields, and you can't pick them all."
"Fern? I know there's one on the hill behind my house, and it's delicious."
Seeing that she liked it, those people said a few more words, "If you like it, then I will let Hu Zi and the others take you there when you get the money. They know that there are many hills there."
Su Ziling put the tea leaves on the cart and said with a smile, "Well, Uncle, I'll remember it. Don't be reluctant to tell me the location later."
"Why would you be reluctant to give it up? Once you're done, go home quickly. Once the sun sets, the temperature in the mountains will drop. Be careful not to catch a cold."
The mother and daughter drove the ox cart slowly back home. When they were no longer visible to passers-by, Su's mother spoke.
"Luckily you picked a lot of wild vegetables, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to say if they asked me."
Su Ziling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mother, I didn't pick wild vegetables to cover up the truth. I just saw them on the way back and thought I could make a dish out of them."
"Besides, it's fine to just tell them that they picked the tea leaves. Even if they know it's tea leaves, it won't help if they don't know how to fry them."
Mother Su thought about it and said, "It seems to be true. By the way, tea is so valuable, how about we grow some?"
Su Ziling had thought about planting more tea trees, but he was really too busy to do so at the moment. "Wait a little longer, let's finish what we have first. We can't bite off more than we can chew. Let's finish the workshop first. If it rains in two days, we'll plant chayote and other things."
"The leaves of the fox-smelling firewood will also be developed soon, and I have to open a mushroom workshop..."
"You're right. There are more and more things to do. We are too busy to handle them. If we really can't do it, how about..."
Su's mother glanced at Su Ziling, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
"What do you want to say, mother?"
