Chapter 1470: Digging for Wild Vegetables?

Someone else bought a wicker basket.

The old man on the side of the road looked at the three baskets left at his side and was also puzzled—

His brother in the village had inconvenient legs, so he had asked him to bring them to town to sell on his behalf. Wasn't he just swaying along, carrying a pile of wicker baskets and walking slowly toward that side? The people hadn't even left yet, so how were they almost sold out?

He hadn't heard that there was a big market in town, so why had so many people driving cars come over?

Before the thought had even passed, he saw a car following the one just now also stop. The driver was equally confused, staring at the wicker baskets in front of him for a while, and after asking the price, decided to buy one too.

Thinking for a moment, he quickly shouted toward the river ditch in the distance: "Wu Lei, I'll watch the cattle and sheep for you. You ride your bike home and tell your grandpa to bring some more wicker baskets."

A dark, thin, and sturdy young man in the river ditch raised his head: "Sold out so fast? Okay, my grandpa is practicing his craft at home; he's woven hundreds of these baskets."

The old man wasn't going to admit defeat this year. So what if he was in a wheelchair? Even in a wheelchair, he was going to practice a craft that could earn ten thousand or eight thousand a month! He had always woven wicker baskets solidly and firmly, but he didn't know many patterns, and he had only lost when weaving straw mats.

He had to wash away his shame in front of Tantan's grandpa this year!

When the time came, he would help weave straw mats in the summer and earn ten thousand or twenty thousand—oh my, it would be wonderful!

Thanks to the newly repaired roads and reliable navigation, although there were still eighteen bends in the mountain road, the flat and wide asphalt road was much more comfortable to walk on than the mountain road.

By the time Secretary Xiao Zhu finished another leisurely breakfast at the Song family's, a strange car finally drove slowly into the village.

The reason it was called a strange car was that the villagers had their own regional radar; they knew clearly whose new car it was in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages. Not to mention that there were very few villages that could connect to Yunqiao Village; they didn't even need to think much about it.

The car followed the navigation and stopped slowly on the square in front of the small shop.

The group of people in the car got out with some hesitation, then looked at the scenery around them: "This place looks okay, but I don't feel it's as good as what was filmed online..."

"The guide says we have to go up the mountain; the foot of the mountain is just very ordinary wasteland—hey, Mom, look at this ground! External tourists please scan the code!"

"There's a long notice here, but let me scan a code first."

Although the village looked very deserted and not lively, with a QR code there, it seemed this place wasn't desolate at all.

And the content in this QR code was something Secretary Xiao Zhu had gathered ideas for with all the young people and cadres in the village. Now that the girl scanned the code first, a 【Yunqiao Village Play Guide】 popped up.

Wow!

It was immediately like visiting a scenic spot! And it was free!

The family gathered together, and before they had even started to look carefully, the proprietress of the small shop on the side, who had been holding back impatiently, had already poked her head out:

"Are you here for tourism?"

Ah, this.

The girl was a bit hesitant; they were just driving around the city in their spare time. Was it tourism or an outing?

The father, however, was very good at chatting. At this moment, he went into the small shop to buy a lighter and turned to ask: "Big sister, are there any fun places around here?"

The proprietress smiled and handed over the lighter: "Oh my, if you want to ask something, just ask directly; you don't need to buy anything specially—we don't have any fun places here; it's just mountains and water, and it's just more comfortable to stay here, not as prosperous as the city."

"However, follow this big road all the way up the mountain, turn up from the back mountain, and all kinds of flowers are blooming on the Song family's farm mountain. As long as you don't enter the garden, it's still very beautiful to look at from the outside."

She remembered Secretary Xiao Zhu's previous instructions and followed up at this moment: "By the way, did you bring water cups? Remember to take a big one, and then order lunch at the canteen on the mountain. If you order lunch, the tea is free—it's good tea worth hundreds of thousands a jin, limited to tourists during the holiday!"

This big sister!

The middle-aged man couldn't laugh or cry. He just wanted to ask about the mountains and water, but the more she talked, the more unreliable it became; tea leaves worth hundreds of thousands a jin had even come out.

As for the water cup, as a middle-aged man, he had a water cup that never left his hand all year round, but his daughter only had a bottle of mineral water.

And lunch... he hadn't seen any mention of a farmhouse restaurant in the guide, so why did the village have a canteen? A farmhouse canteen?

Just as he was pondering, he saw his daughter waving at him happily: "Dad, this village is quite interesting. Look, the guide says you can book lunch at the canteen. The holiday special is 30/person, eat your fill of rice, unlimited tea—hahaha, so funny!"

Because behind this "unlimited tea" was a parenthesis—

(Prohibited from taking away with thermos bottles and buckets)

Their family of three came over; a meal for 90 wasn't expensive, but counting it as 30 per person to eat canteen food felt a bit awkward. The calculating mother shook her head: "There's no one here; maybe it's just made up online. Let's go for a stroll first."

"If it really doesn't work, didn't we bring food? Let's pad our stomachs and then go to town to find a restaurant."

This consideration was quite sound.

The girl nodded, and the group of people swayed and prepared to go up the mountain. The girl looked down at the last remark again—

【The fresh vegetables in the local villagers' vegetable gardens are delicious and far superior to other vegetables on the market. You get what you pay for; if you think it's expensive, you don't have to buy it. Please don't be angry.】

Hey!

These words were quite straightforward.

The three of them walked on this empty big road, looking at the wild fields gradually becoming desolate on both sides and the large patches of wild grass in the middle. It was clearly a countryside scene with nothing to see, but for some reason, the breeze blowing brought the scent of grass, making people feel exceptionally relaxed and happy.

"Wait a minute."

The proprietress of the small shop behind them called out to them: "Since you're here, do you want to dig for wild vegetables? It's free; dig for free in the wasteland. But you can't dig into the vegetables or step on them, otherwise, it's quite expensive to pay for damages."

She held up a pile of small shovels she had just wholesaled: "A deposit of twenty for one, rent for 3 yuan a day. Buy it directly for ten yuan."

Asked this question, the girl hummed twice: "My mom and I don't know how to dig for wild vegetables..."

However, the mother, who had always been diligent and thrifty, hesitated and hummed: "Wild vegetables... can we still dig for tender shepherd's purse at this time? Since we're here..."

Since we're here.

This magical sentence instantly defeated the father and daughter. The middle-aged man didn't hesitate: "Give me two shovels—and give me two plastic bags?"

The proprietress beamed with joy and pointed to another QR code on the side: "It doesn't matter if you can't recognize them; scan this to identify them slowly. Once you've picked them, clean them up at the canteen; someone will come to tell you which ones can be eaten and which ones can't."

"Pay attention to the disclaimer below; you must let the people on the mountain see them before you can eat them with peace of mind."
