Chapter 72: Exchanging Wild Vegetables

Meanwhile, Wu Yue over here was staring blankly at the whole sack of dandelions on her own ground: "Looks like today is another day with a huge workload."

Yue, are you up?

A shout from Qingcao came from outside, pulling Wu Yue out of her daze.

She got up and opened the door, only to see Qingcao stretching her little head out at the step's small door, looking around.

Seeing Wu Yue come out of the door, a big smile appeared on her face: "You guys won yesterday, did you bring back a lot of wild vegetables? I'll help you handle them."

After saying that, she hopped straight ahead, opening the small gate and coming to outside the room.

Wu Yue gratefully hugged this adorable little companion: "Qingcao, you're wonderful; I was just wondering how to handle all this food."

The two laughed hehe as they went inside and dragged out the whole sack of dandelions.

Wu Yue spread big leaves in the courtyard, then carefully began to sort through them.

Qingcao tossed aside a small twig in her hand and muttered: "Yue, why do you still need to pick out the contents? It would be more convenient to just eat them directly."

How long will it take the two of them to sort through so much wild vegetables?

Wu Yue looked at her: "When we gathered them, there were so many twigs and some unknown grasses; if we accidentally ate an unknown poisonous grass, how dangerous would that be?"

Upon hearing this, Qingcao's expression instantly turned serious; looking at the unknown grass in Wu Yue's hand, she suddenly felt how fortunate she was.

In the past, when she processed wild vegetables together with her older sister, they would only pull out the big clumps of weeds and throw them away; some tiny leaves and roots, etc., they would just crush together into a grass ball.

Now she seriously began to pick out the weeds from the dandelions, even more carefully than Wu Yue.

Yue, can I trade for some of your wild vegetables?

Suddenly, a familiar voice of a little female came from the courtyard gate.

Wu Yue and Qingcao looked up, and it was Caoyuan, with the tall Mujing standing beside her; the two seem to have a very good relationship, always inseparable.

Wu Yue smiled: "Come in, take as much as you want."

Saying this, she pointed to the pile of dandelions that had already been sorted.

Mujing and Caoyuan walked into the courtyard, looking at the two piles of wild vegetables, big and small, and wondered: "What's the difference between these two piles? Why are they placed separately?"

Qingcao beside them quickly said: "This small pile is what Yue and I picked out, free of weeds and twigs; it's very clean."

Mujing and Caoyuan thought that Wu Yue had just pointed to that clean pile of sorted wild vegetables for them to take, and they grew even fonder of Wu Yue.

Caoyuan took out the small animal-skin bundle from her bosom, poured out the bitter greens inside, and then added an equal amount of dandelions into it.

I and Mujing have always been in Qingcao A Mu's gathering team, so we've never eaten this kind of wild vegetable; it's perfect to try it this time when we go back, and if it tastes good, we'll come trade with you again in the future.

Caoyuan pursed her lips and gave a light laugh.

Mujing beside her quickly said: "We will also sort the bitter greens cleanly."

Wu Yue smiled at them: "Great, then I'll also have bitter greens to eat in the future."

The four little females chatted happily for a while, after which Caoyuan and Mujing took the dandelions they had exchanged and went home.

The A Mu of both households were dividing the game; seeing them return, they couldn't help but laugh: "Exchanging wild vegetables took this long?"

Caoyuan and Mujing gave a giggle laugh: "We were chatting for a while at Yue's place."
