Chapter 47 Let go of that wild vegetable and let me take over!
The ground was covered with lush ferns.
Fern is a plant with very long stems, like long sticks, with three or four green buds on the top.
The whole thing is green, almost the same as weeds and leaves.
No wonder netizens can’t tell it. No ordinary people can recognize this thing.
Xu Yang pointed to a fern and said:
"This is wild fern, it tastes really good. I'll stir-fry it with some meat. It tastes slightly bitter but then sweet."
"Look at the bracken over here. They are old. We won't pick them. The bracken over there is still fresh."
"Let's do it!"
Xu Yang put down the bamboo basket, put on white gloves, and prepared to work.
Xiao Hei was watching nearby, looking around curiously.
It wanted to run, so Xu Yang let it follow quietly.
When taking a dog into the mountains, make sure the dog follows closely.
Because it is very common in the mountains for dogs to be bitten to death by snakes or poisonous insects.
Even stray farm dogs generally do not live in densely wooded areas.
Xu Yang has sprayed himself with the Twelve Gods floral water, which has a good insect repellent effect. Mosquitoes will not come near, and it can also protect Xiao Hei.
Xu Yang began to pick ferns.
Picking ferns is a very relaxing process, of course, I mean watching others pick them.
Xu Yang grabbed the long stem of the fern and gently broke it. With a crisp "crunch" sound, a fern was picked.
Xu Yang's hands are very fast.
As soon as the left hand broke off one, the right hand immediately broke off another one.
So back and forth.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
After a while, Xu Yang's hands were full of two handfuls of ferns.
When netizens heard the sound, for some reason, they felt itchy to try it.
[Oh my god, picking wild vegetables is so fun? ]
[Let go of that wild vegetable and let me take over! ]
[It’s so relaxing to watch! ]
[Is the bracken so crisp? Can it fall off easily? ]
[Good guy, I want to play! ]
Picking ferns looks pleasant, but it is actually very tiring.
But everyone just enjoys watching it.
Xu Yang turned on the drone's close-up mode so that the picking scene could be magnified.
He didn't say anything more, just picked ferns quietly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The crisp sound is endless.
It stretches endlessly.
Xu Yang's hands were very fast. Wherever his hands passed, the ferns were picked with a crunching sound.
The best time to pick ferns is this season. If you are late, they will be gone and you will have to wait another year.
So there are a lot of people picking ferns these days.
After picking a bundle, Xu Yang put all the ferns into a bamboo basket and continued picking.
This place is the hideout he found, and no one else will come here.
In this way, Xu Yang was busy continuously, and soon he had picked a full bamboo basket.
"It's done."
Xu Yang was satisfied.
There are a lot of people in the live broadcast room, stabilizing at around 6,000.
Xu Yang was a little surprised when he saw the number of people.
Generally speaking, only the live broadcast rooms of popular anchors have such number of people.
Many beautiful female internet celebrities with millions of fans only have three or four hundred people online when they start broadcasting.
This is also related to the fact that Xu Yang was quite popular some time ago. Traffic is in the form of waves. Once a wave peaks, it will slowly dissipate. If there is another wave peak in this process, the wave will get higher and higher.
He is still in the peak stage now.
"So many people!"
"Today's live broadcast is to come out to pick ferns and take in the scenery."
"Now that we have finished picking bracken, we must go back."
Xu Yang started to walk back with the bamboo basket on his back.
A man and a dog were walking in the lush jungle, and the scenery looked very beautiful.
In this modern society, such scenes are rare.
The presence of Xiao Hei adds a bit of artistic conception to the painting, and the full bamboo baskets are even more festive with a good harvest.
Xu Yang walked back, and more and more people came into the live broadcast room.
After walking out of the forest, Xu Yang said hello to netizens and turned off the live broadcast.
He came to the store at home, put down the bamboo basket, took out a bottle of cold Coke from the refrigerator, sat on the chair and took a sip.
The cool and stimulating liquid flowed down my throat, and my originally hot body instantly felt extremely comfortable.
Xu Yang's mother was exchanging information about the village with her best friend, and no one knew how many people had been gossiped about by them.
"Mom, I picked some bracken. You take some and I'll leave the rest on the farm."
"When will my dad come back?"
Xu Yang asked.
Xu Yang's mother took out a handful of ferns from the bamboo basket, looked at the leaves carefully, and found that the ferns were particularly fresh and tender, and she smiled with satisfaction.
"It's just today. There are eight of them going in this time. They said they will stay for four days. They brought a lot of dry food."
"I'll be back tonight."
“I wonder how many sticks I can dig up.”
Bangchui is the name for wild ginseng here.
Xu Yang nodded. "With Uncle Liu leading the team, there won't be any problem. He knows where the hammer is and will definitely be able to find it."
"Okay, I'm going back to the farm. Let me know when my dad comes back."
Xu Yang walked around the store, picked up a few bottles of drinks and threw them into the bamboo basket, and also took a few bags of spicy strips, a few bags of melon seeds, and some potato chips, biscuits and so on.
When I left, I also carried a box of spicy instant noodles.
He picked up the full bamboo basket and carried the instant noodles, and prepared to go back.
"Why don't you take the van? It's too tiring to walk back here."
Xu Yang's mother spoke.
"It's okay. I asked Li Shan to pick me up on a tricycle."
"It's right outside."
Xu Yang pointed at the tricycle outside and responded.
"Okay, then let's go."
Xu Yang walked out of the store and put the things in the compartment of the tricycle.
Li Shan sensibly got down from the driver's seat and sat in the back compartment.
Xiao Hei was playing with Da Huang. When he heard Xu Yang calling him, he ran out happily and was put in the back of the car by Xu Yang.
Xu Yang drove the tricycle back.
It’s been quite tiring this half day, I need to go back to the farm and have a good rest.
Although the electric tricycle is not fast, it has the advantage of being unobstructed and allowing you to feel the flow of wind.
It's also cool to ride.
Soon, Xu Yang returned to the farm.
Today's work is done.
It's only noon now, and the only thing left in the afternoon is rest.
The little fox didn't come today. Maybe it saw Xu Yang and Xiao Hei were not there, so it went back to the forest to play.
Although I didn’t pick any particularly valuable mountain products today, it’s still pretty good to be able to dig up so many fresh ferns.
Freshly dug ferns should be eaten immediately.
Zhang Mei was responsible for cooking and was busy in the kitchen.
The main dish is fried meat with fern, served with a cold dish and a pot of steamed rice.
The green fern is not bitter but has a sweet aftertaste and tastes especially good when stir-fried with meat.
Brown bracken is more bitter.
This wild vegetable, like bamboo shoots, is most tender and delicious when it is just picked, and you can eat it fresh.
Another leisurely day.
In the afternoon, Xu Yang took the ducks swimming in the yard.
The little duck was in a good mood. It quacked loudly while eating and grew very fast.
Ducks raised in this way will have delicious meat in the future.
In the evening, Xu Yang inspected around the farm.
It was a little dark.
He turned his head and saw a pair of glowing eyes in the grass not far away, looking in its direction.
Xu Yang was slightly stunned.
Xiao Hei shouted towards the front.
Not long after, Xu Yang saw the little leopard walking out of the bushes.
Behind it, the female leopard was hiding in the woods, also watching.
It's a little leopard!
It's coming again!
This time I actually found a farm!
It’s just off the mark!
