Chapter 1253: Soft Wind Mugwort

As for mugwort buds, actually, on the more than 300 acres of land on the stone slope, mugwort, wild chrysanthemums, and sunflowers shared the land in thirds.

At the beginning, six or seven catties of seeds were scattered per acre. Now that the spring rain had just passed, a layer of velvety green grew densely in the barren land, covering the land that originally still had some gravel left, looking like a thousand-mile green velvet carpet, without a single impurity, it was so beautiful.

The wild chrysanthemums nearby were also lush and green.

However, those mugwort varieties had higher medicinal value, and they didn't taste as good as wild mugwort.

So Lu Chuan said he wanted to taste the mountain flavor, and Grandpa Qi Lin handed him a basket and pointed to the place.

Both are chefs, but the old man's life was much more leisurely than Master Jiang's; he spent a lot of time wandering around the mountains every day.

That's right, for the next two days, he had to arrange for everyone to pick shepherd's purse. It's spring, so get some shepherd's purse to make dumplings—it had been raining earlier, which delayed things, and now many shepherd's purses were old.

If delayed any further, the shepherd's purse would bloom white flowers.

While talking, Grandpa Qi Lin muttered: "Tantan, find time to buy some seeds online. Shepherd's purse, baby bok choy, mugwort, etc., buy more, and scatter them on both sides of our road when you have nothing to do."

"Otherwise, after wandering around the whole village, the wild vegetables picked won't be enough for our family to eat a meal."

He also became interested: "Where? Do you only pick the tender leaves at the very top?"

Looking at the neck again, the dog tag had two large red characters—

Eight Treasure loves to steal food and is bad at math. Even stealing from himself, he couldn't steal anything, which was very embarrassing for a dog.

Mugwort said "Oops!"

To be honest, Lu Chuan had read all kinds of materials for writing novels, and he was quite familiar with wild vegetables and wild grasses. But now that he came to pick them in person, he found that seeing with his own eyes and practicing in person felt quite different!

Lu Chuan asked curiously: "Why not let it go and catch it?"

Eight Treasure really came over foolishly to bite the basket.

Mountain villages actually don't lack these things, but last year, with turning the soil and repairing the road, it was tossed around, and the wild vegetables and wild grasses that were in the way on both sides of the road disappeared without a trace.

She picked very skillfully and quickly. Seeing this, Lu Chuan also picked a handful and then laughed: "The taste is indeed very heavy."

Seven Treasure loves to sleep and loves to dig holes—Mugwort believed it was because Qiaoqiao took it to plant corn.

"That's not necessarily true." Mugwort had confidence in Grandpa Qi Lin: "Many wild vegetables need a lot of oil, and they must be paired with meat—I guess it's stewed chicken with mugwort, or paired with fragrant crispy fried meat cubes."

Lu Chuan carried the basket and asked: "Is that Song Tan in front?"

Mugwort leaned over and looked at the rabbit first: "Eight Treasure has graduated! Catching rabbits is really fast!"

After all, there were so many people at home, and cooking every day was like feeding pigs; a bag of flour couldn't last two days.

After finishing, she became happy again: "Didn't you want to taste mugwort cakes before? Guess what mugwort is?"

He looked up and saw a dog's head stretching out from the pruned tea bushes, with a yellow-brown rabbit in its mouth.

Mugwort took over and seized the time to prune all the old tea trees, then turned and reorganized the land, and filled in all the tea seedlings this spring.

The young master in the city smiled helplessly: "Is it only for me to eat? Don't you guys have to eat too?"

"However, this one tastes a bit heavy, but Grandpa Qi Lin will season it, so it should be okay."

Eight Treasure was even more indescribable.

Mugwort nodded: "Right! It's really tender!"

"Grandpa Qi Lin, you reminded me well, I almost forgot—it's just the right season now, I'll buy more."

Just wait a while, and various watermelons can be interplanted in the small tea seedling field over there.

But now—

As the two were talking and laughing, suddenly a yellow shadow darted in front of them. Lu Chuan was stunned, and suddenly heard a rustling sound in the tea field again.

And the old tea trees, after a winter of nourishment and spring germination, now grew a layer of oily tender leaves. Just wait a few more days, and when the fat new buds sprout, they can start preparing for picking.

"Eight Treasure!"

At this time, the family was busy turning around, and the three puppies were handed over to several mature treasures to take care of, and the result was...

But, very reckless.

"Woof!"

They ate a lot last spring, but those wild vegetables were catalyzed by spiritual energy, so the taste was naturally different.

It's not that they aren't smart, but their personalities are too distinct.

Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "That's it, everyone will be wronged at noon."

It is diligent, brave, and obedient!

That is truly indescribable.

She pointed her finger forward: "There, white mugwort, it's a bit like that one, use your basket to hold it, and try making two different kinds at noon!"

Mugwort laughed: "We've seen this stuff since we were little! My parents are okay, they will get some to eat when it's in season."

Lu Chuan carefully glanced at Eight Treasure and said helplessly: "It—the three of them are siblings I picked up on the road, their brains..."

Not to mention anything else, when people in the village want to cut some mugwort for the Dragon Boat Festival, they wouldn't run to the far mountain, right?

Eight Treasure was both dumbfounded and aggrieved. At this moment, it followed and wanted to dart in, but was stopped by Lu Chuan: "Forget it, forget it, catch it next time, come, you help me carry the basket first."

Eight Treasure was instantly proud, opened its mouth and barked, the rabbit that was originally stiff and playing dead instantly fell to the ground, and then with a leap, it entered the tea bushes again.

After all, there are many people, and when they wander around, it's like a locust plague, and the wild grass on the side of the road is plucked clean.

"If you change to my grandparents, they were hungry when they were young, and they don't like to touch these wild vegetables, including sweet potatoes, at all now."

"Just look at this tea field in front of you, those big tea trees are fine, the branches are hard and it can't be reckless. But change to the tea seedlings that haven't been transplanted for long inside, it goes in to catch a rabbit, and it can plow the ground."

That's it, when Grandpa Qi Lin was wandering back and forth, he saw mugwort buds on the edge of the old tea mountain, and there were quite a few, so he arranged for the two of them to come over.

Thinking about it, Mugwort could only sigh: "Maybe it's because we have never disciplined them."

How reckless is it?

She said and squatted down to start picking directly: "Don't worry, pick it, this thing grows very fast, as long as you don't move the roots, it will be a big cluster in a few days this season."

Well, it can't be said that it can stand on its own, it can only be said that it has no workplace competitiveness.

The whole mountain of more than 100 acres originally belonged to Old Man Li, but it was neglected, and most of the mountain was wasteland, with only a dozen acres of old tea trees growing to two meters high, and tea picking was not enough.

Tender green, growing in a cluster on the ground, with a silvery-white subtle luster on the back of the leaves, looking fresh and cute.

"Right?" Lu Chuan teased: "Pick the tender ones, you have to give the young master in the city something good to eat."

"Woo—"

Even so, what they brought back wasn't enough to eat.
