The sky has been clear for two days, but the soil is still sticky. Qin Xiaoxiao feels disgusted and doesn't want to stay any longer when her feet are stained with soil.

In order to solve this problem, Leng Yingchun thought of using stones to press the road surface to make the floor less muddy.

Seeing that the water sources had been taken care of, she felt it was necessary to put this matter on the agenda.

But Qin Xiaoxiao said that she was tired of eating rice. She felt that she still had to solve the problem of eating now and could not always cook rice.

So I took Leng Yinghuan and prepared to dig kudzu roots in the mountains to see if there were any mountain products that could improve my food.

This time Qin Xiaoxiao still wanted to go with her, mainly because Fang Yang asked her what was weird about Leng Yingchun, which made her suspicious.

Combining all the previous events, she felt that Leng Yingchun was like a treasure chest, and something would be taken out at any time to surprise you.

For example, when food is about to run out, Leng Yingchun can always find food.

How could such a coincidence happen?

She wanted to find out the answers one by one, and went to see what secrets they were hiding from her.

"It's very muddy in the mountains. You even dislike the floor at home, and you will hate it even more." Leng Yingchun didn't want Qin Xiaoxiao to follow.

She also wanted to pile some firewood into the space for later use.

"Yingchun, please don't always think of me as Fang Yang. She is a delicate girl like a wealthy lady. She can't live here." Qin Xiaoxiao has begun to integrate into rural life.

"Then don't cry later, don't let Huanhuan carry you down." Leng Yingchun put down her harsh words and agreed to take Qin Xiaoxiao to the mountains.

There were quite a few villagers who went to search for wild animals in the mountains today. They walked together when they met on the way.

They arrived in the deep mountains and wild forests, and under Leng Yingchun's identification, they soon discovered a field of wild kudzu.

When the villagers heard that Leng Yingchun said that the rhizome of kudzu could be eaten as a staple food, they were all surprised.

You must know that those things are not delicious and can easily cause stomach upset. They used to treat them as pig food, but this time they want to turn them into human food. It is really a turn of events.

"If you think it's not tasty, you can grind it into powder and mix it into porridge to cook. It will help us get through the period before harvest."

After Leng Yingchun explained a little, he took a hoe to pick up the kudzu roots.

One piece of kudzu root with huge roots can probably feed a family for a day.

They thought about it and joined the camp of digging kudzu. In fact, just eating wild vegetables was not the answer. They had to have some staple food to mix with their stomachs to avoid being hungry.

Thanks to the diligence of the villagers, a lot of kudzu roots were left to dry on the ground.

Everyone put a basket full of kudzu root and smiled happily.

In order to save some kudzu for the future, Leng Yingchun put a basket of kudzu into the space when no one was paying attention and quickly came out.

But the place where she came out was a small mountain stream, and she could still hear the voices of the villagers. She was not too far from the kudzu field.

"Yingchun, Yingchun, where are you?" Qin Xiaoxiao's anxious voice came from overhead.

Only then did the villagers realize that Leng Yingchun was nowhere to be found. Only Leng Yinghuan was calmer, but in order to show off, he still had to shout Leng Yingchun's name anxiously like everyone else.

"I'm here!" Leng Yingchun waved upward.

When the villagers heard the sound, they looked down and found her standing by the creek. They were all a little surprised when she went down. They asked each other with their eyes, but they had no impression. It seemed that no one noticed her movements.

"There are many small stones in this creek. Let's dig through them to see if there are any crabs!" Leng Yingchun quickly found a topic to divert everyone's attention.

"The mountain crabs are small and have hard shells. The crab meat that comes out is a little bit unpalatable, so it's better not to catch them!"

The villagers are not optimistic about Leng Yingchun's ideas at all.

"That's because you don't know how to cook it, so you coat it in flour and fry it. The shell is crispy and you can eat it as a snack!"

Leng Yingchun once tasted fried mountain crabs in a restaurant in a small modern county town. One bite at a time, they were crispy and delicious.

The villagers couldn't stop laughing. In the era of food shortage, oil was a luxury item and could not be fried at all.

"Yingchun, let's catch him, and you can blow it up when we get back!"

Qin Xiaoxiao had already been attracted by the deep-fried mountain crabs Leng Yingchun talked about and her mouth was watering. She stepped into the stream regardless of the villagers' ridicule, turned over the stones and watched.

Not to mention, because few people visit this mountain forest, there is basically more than one mountain crab under the rocks.

"Yingchun, Huanhuan, don't be stunned, come and help!" Qin Xiaoxiao shouted loudly, pulled the vines, and entangled the mountain crabs one by one.

Leng Yingchun took one look at Leng Yinghuan, then walked down the river, imitating Qin Xiaoxiao's example, and swayed a lot of mountain crabs in front of the villagers' eyes.

The villagers saw that they had gained a lot, and thought that although the mountain crab meat was small, it was also food, so they joined the crab-catching camp.

They walked along the small mountain stream to the foot of the mountain and caught a large bunch.

There were many wild vegetables on the grass on both sides of the road, and they picked a lot of them when they went back.

The villagers were very happy. They felt that after the cold winter, they picked more wild vegetables than before, and now there are more satiating foods such as kudzu root.

This made it a promise that the next time Leng Yunchun went to the mountains to look for food, he would call them again.

Leng Yingchun readily agreed that sometimes working with the villagers could avoid speculation about the source of food.

After returning home, Qin Lanqing has returned. He has been close to Li Mansion many times in Lucheng in the past two days, but he was always discovered by spies, and Fang Yang did not come out.

He knew that he couldn't take Fang Yang away, so he had no choice but to come back.

When he saw them coming back, he went up to them and pointed to a large piece of pork on the table.

"Where have you been today? Why haven't you seen anyone since you came back? I thought you had all moved away, and you were still wondering what to do with the pork you bought."

Leng Yingchun's eyes showed joy, and she threw herself in front of the pork, "Uncle Qin, you are so timely, how did you know that we need pork for frying?"

"I've been living here for too long, and I haven't brought you anything to eat. We've been eating wild vegetables lately, and our stomachs are already so shabby, so I thought I'd spend some money to buy some pork for everyone to eat.

Yes, I didn’t expect to fry you in oil.”

Qin Lanqing felt very accomplished when she saw Leng Yingchun's surprise.

Compared to Leng Yingchun, Leng Yinghuan and Qin Xiaoxiao are much calmer. They don't understand the kitchen matters anyway, so they can just leave everything to Leng Yingchun.

"Hey, where did you catch these mountain crabs? They taste terrible, throw them away!" Qin Lanqing disapproved of them treating mountain crabs as food.

"Just wait, I'll get you something to eat right now!" Leng Yingchun smiled and carried the pork and mountain crabs to the kitchen to get busy.

The three of them were looking at the sky in the yard, looking forward to what kind of delicious food Leng Yingchun would produce.

Qin Xiaoxiao went in to watch from time to time. Leng Yingchun was either kneading dough or cutting fat pork and pressing oil.

Anyway, she knew nothing, so she stood aside and stared blankly, unable to help at all, so she was kicked out by Leng Yingchun.

Two hours later, Leng Yingchun placed kudzu cakes, a basin of fried mountain crabs, and lean meat and bitter buckwheat soup in front of the three of them.

They fanned the air with their hands and smelled the fragrance. They said "Wow" in unison, and then took the kudzu cake and tasted it.

Crispy and fragrant, I popped the kudzu cake into my mouth and ate it with a satisfied smile.

Leng Yingchun looked at their approving looks with satisfaction and reminded, "After you finish eating these fried foods, you must eat bitter buckwheat soup to relieve the heat!"

They didn't refute, just picked up the bitter buckwheat soup and drank it, feeling refreshed immediately.

Seeing that they were not very interested in mountain crabs, Leng Yingchun guessed that they thought the shell was too hard and would break their teeth if they bit it, so he grabbed one and ate it.

"Produced by Yingchun, no one can be deceived. Hurry up and grab one and give it a try!"

Qin Lanqing touched his cheek. If he hit something so hot, his teeth might break. Then he would not be able to eat well in the future.

Leng Yinghuan took one and tasted it, and suddenly felt the tip of her tongue moving, which was the stirring of fragrance.

Qin Xiaoxiao also ate one, grabbed a few more and continued without smiling.

"Is it really edible?" Qin Lanqing saw their delighted expressions, so she picked up one and tasted it gently.

Huh!

It has the smell of fried flour, but it's not very hard.

He thought it was quite delicious and killed a dozen of them at once.

He sat down and patted his belly, "It would be nice if there was wine?"

"Where can I give you wine in Shanwowo? Just bear with it!" Leng Yinghuan glared at Qin Lanqing indifferently, you are the only one who has many things to do.

"The conditions don't allow it now, so I can't get you wine. If Uncle Qin comes here next year, I will definitely serve you grain wine, and maybe other types of wine."

Leng Yingchun had made a promise to Qin Lanqing.

"I may not have time to come here. Can you ask someone to take me to the Capital Station?"

This was the only time that Qin Lanqing completely followed his own temper. In the past, after completing one task, he had to move on to the next task without stopping.

"It would be a huge honor to get you some grain wine, and I'd also like to send it to the capital for you. Why didn't you tell me that I would drink it for you?"

Leng Yinghuan stared at Qin Lanqing displeasedly, saying that if he didn't work, he would have too many things to do and it would be difficult to take care of him.

Qin Lanqing smoothed Shun Leng Ying Huan's arm, "Huan, don't be angry, I just told you that I will come to see you when I am free."

After this separation, I will probably never have the chance to see them again in this life.

Qin Lanqing felt inexplicably sad, and ate a few more mountain crabs to ease his inner boredom.

He looked at the mountain crabs in the basin and thought of Leng Yingchun's behavior two days ago, and asked doubtfully, "Why don't you send some to Niu Xigui's house next door this time?"

He regretted that Su Jingxian left too quickly, otherwise he would have tasted the delicious food.
