  Chapter 19 19. Wild vegetables are on sale

  Ulan just ate a bowl and was full, but not completely full.

  But according to the family's appetite, they will definitely be full tonight, so she refused: "I'll eat the dumplings tomorrow morning. Come, try today's wild vegetable first!"

  She took Malantou, purslane and watercress, to save trouble, and purely to test the taste, so she mixed them with the same ingredients after blanching.

  At this moment, red peppers, white sesame seeds, dark brown sauce vinegar and green young leaves and stems are intertwined, and a sour, refreshing and spicy fragrance hits the face.

  Song Sancheng didn't hesitate any more, quickly stretched out his chopsticks and put it in his mouth—

"Well!"

  Delicious, spicy, sour, crisp and tender... All kinds of tastes are intertwined. Song Sancheng couldn't stop eating, and he could pick up half of the plate with one chopstick.

  That's it...

   "This is too appetizing. I should have cooked a pot of rice." He was extremely regretful.

  Ulan looked at his stomach: "Don't eat it, don't eat it, you won't be afraid of getting overwhelmed—I'll try it!"

   After tasting this, the whole family fell silent.

  Half salary, Ulan asked hesitantly: "Is this... ten yuan a bargain?"

  Song Tan made a decisive decision: "It's a cheap sale—listen to me, it costs 20 yuan a bundle!" Go sell it in the morning, don't be afraid if it doesn't sell, repeat customers who have eaten at noon will definitely come back!

  Nowadays, making money matters!

  Ulan regretted it instantly: "I knew I would only smoke a few of each to taste!"

  …

   Early the next morning.

It was really early in the morning, Song Tan was called up at 5:30, and Song Sancheng planned to carry vegetables along with him, but found that his daughter had a basket in one hand, and Qiao Qiao carried another basket, seventy or eighty bundles of wild vegetables would be loaded into the car up.

   "You really don't need me to go with you?"

   "No, there is Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao can help, right?" Song Tan refused him.

  Jojo agreed super loudly from the side: "Yes! It's enough to have Jojo!"

  Song Sancheng stood there with outstretched hands in a daze, and suddenly felt a sense of "old age".

  Until Ulan called him again: "There are some dumplings left in the pot, do you want to eat?"

   "Eat!" He threw away the sudden sadness in an instant.

  …

  Uncle Wang who drove the van was an acquaintance in the village, and now he was looking at the road curiously: "Tan Tan, are you going to sell vegetables in the city?"

  Song Tan nodded: "Yeah, it's cold now, why not eat something fresh. If it's not sold out, take it back and eat it yourself, and it won't take much trouble."

  That's right.

  Uncle Wang nodded: "Very good, how can young people be willing to suffer so much now? Your parents are really blessed!"

  The two sides had a lot of business touting, and it was less than seven o'clock when the car stopped by the famous vegetable market in the old city.

   It is said that the vegetable market has not been seriously planned. It is just next to the river, extending in all directions, so everyone tacitly understands to carry carts here to sell things.

  Song Tan didn't even need to pay any booth fees. He put the baskets in front of him one by one, took out two small folding benches, and a stack of plastic bags.

   "Sister, I'll sell it!"

  Jojo can't wait.

  Song Tan quickly gave him the C seat: "Okay, Qiao Qiao sells—do you know how much it is?"

"Know!"

  Jojo is gearing up: "Twenty yuan a bundle, no bargaining!"

   Just know this.

  Song Tan thought for a while, and pasted the two QR codes printed at the village department yesterday—a collection code.

   And the other one: new teaser group for wild vegetables, scan the QR code to join, fresh wild vegetables, advance notice.

   She dared to swear by her cultivation career that anyone who has eaten wild vegetables from her family today will definitely become a repeat customer.

  …

  The weather is fine today. Although the sun hasn’t risen at seven o’clock, the morning glow can already be seen in the sky. There are many housewives in coral fleece pajamas or old down jackets coming and going in the vegetable market.

  The two siblings sat obediently on the ponytail. They were similar in appearance, with bright black pupils and white skin.

   And still so young.

  Look at this vegetable market again, not to mention the stalls, there are not many young vegetable sellers.

   Those who went to buy vegetables couldn't help casting their eyes over there.

   Take a look at the basket in front of you by the way—oh, what day is this? There are such fresh and tender wild vegetables, and they are neatly packed!

   "Girl, how do you sell shepherd's purse?"

  Chinese New Year vegetables are extremely expensive, coupled with the coming and going of hospitality, when everyone sees shepherd's purse, the first thing they think of is fresh and tender dumplings.

  When the aunt asked, it seemed as if she had started, and people slowly gathered around her.

   "I know, I know! Shepherd's purse, 20 yuan a bundle, a catty!"

  Jojo couldn't wait to answer.

  He sat on the bench and looked up at the aunt in front of him slightly. He was obedient and cute, with a round head and a hairy head. No old aunt could resist.

not to mention…

  The tone of an adult's speech is different from that of a child.

  The aunt who asked the question looked at him in surprise, as if she had noticed something. Seeing that Qiao Qiao was still staring at her persistently, he tentatively frowned:

   "This is too expensive, can you sell it for ten yuan?"

   "I can't, I can't," Qiao Qiao shook her head like a rattle, emphasizing again: "I ate three bowls of shepherd's purse dumplings in the morning!"

  He is good at it, making a three-pointer.

  Song Tan also laughed: "Yes, auntie, I dug these up yesterday. They taste very fresh and tender. Twenty yuan is really not expensive."

   "And this bundle is a catty, there are only more and no less. Greenhouse vegetables are so expensive now! Spring is here, let's have a bite of fresh wild vegetables early, and it will be refreshing."

   Pointing to the QR code next to it again: "If you are worried, scan the code to join the group. If it doesn't taste good, just contact me on WeChat, and I will give you a refund."

   He said this with extra confidence, and the aunt in front of her made a decision instantly.

   It’s just that there are too many choices in the basket in front of you!

  Which one should I buy?

   She struggled.

   However, Auntie hesitated for a moment, and Qiao Qiao drooped her eyebrows and looked up at her pitifully:

   "Auntie, don't you want to buy it? Jojo dug it!"

  Auntie's heart melted, and everyone present saw the problem, and immediately agreed: "Buy!"

   "But Auntie doesn't know which one to buy, what should I do?"

  Jojo blinked blankly: "Then eat it all!" He sometimes suffers so much when buying snacks.

   "Ouch!" The group of people in front of the stall laughed joyfully: "You kid, you are so greedy. This is twenty yuan a pack, so you can buy it for one hundred yuan."

   Qiao Qiao was not convinced: "Qiao Qiao has been eating for two days."

   "Shepherd's purse, make dumplings."

   "Wild onions, stewed crucian carp, scrambled eggs!"

   "Ma... Ma..." He forgot the name.

  Song Tan quickly patted his head: "Jojo is awesome!"

   Then he picked up the dishes and showed them to everyone: "Malantou fried meat or cold salad, watercress is also fresh and tender, and purslane is even more refreshing..."

   "This wild vegetable in our family, I promise to eat it once and want to eat it a second time."

   She took out this dish over and over again for everyone to see. It was fresh and tender, with green leaves and no damage at all.

  Plus, there are experts who buy vegetables around, and you can tell that the girl is not short of catty by just holding it with your hands. In other words, twenty yuan per catty is the wild vegetables dug up in the village, which is really not expensive.

  The more you look at it, the more excited you become, and then look at the greenhouse vegetables in your hands—

   "Come on, give me two catties of shepherd's purse, my son likes to eat dumplings!"

   "I want two catties too—and a handful of that wild onion, oh, it's really wild, it tastes great! I haven't eaten it for more than ten years!"

   "I want it too! Give me another pinch of purslane, it's anti-inflammatory and diuretic..."

   "Ma Lan's head should be on fire. I want this. Give me two bundles—I want shepherd's purse too!"

   "Watercress! The watercress is too tender, I want three, get one for my daughter!"

   Thank you Qiqidian and QQ for reading the rewards, votes and comments of Baoer! Nothing to report, good update!

   Wild vegetables are really popular!
