Chapter 6 New Food
These days, I ate bamboo shoots and wild vegetables every day, and I was very oily. I didn’t have any oily water, and the fish with the most oily protein intake were the fish. That little bit of oily water was not enough to scrape the bamboo shoots!
I have to find something else to eat. The mountain is overgrown with weeds and there are a lot of wild fruits, but it's still not enough to satisfy my hunger.

In the morning, Liu Qingcao got up early, ate breakfast, and started the pottery kiln. When it was almost done, Liu Qingcao called Liu Jiangbei who was sitting beside her.

"Jiangbei, my sister is going outside. Watch here, don't let the sparks fall out. When the fire goes out, go to the back room to sleep for a while, don't run around."

"Understood, sister, when are you coming back?" Liu Jiangbei sat on a chair and asked her looking up.

"I'll try to get back as soon as possible, don't worry." Liu Qingcao patted the dust off his body, seeing that he stopped talking, went to the woodshed to pick up the basket and went up the mountain.

Liu Qingcao went in the same direction as before, but this time, she had to go a little further in.

She wants to eat meat!
"So annoying..."

She has been here for almost a week, and she works non-stop every day, but the food she eats has not changed. Jane, who is so extremely simple, who can stand it!
The cloth shoes on Liu Qingcao's feet were soaked in dew, which made her feet very uncomfortable, but if she took them off and walked barefoot in this unknown forest, she still didn't dare.

The long stick kept beating around, and the further she walked in, the faster her heart beat, pounding like a drum.

Liu Qingcao carefully observed the surroundings. On the way here, she found a lot of wild vegetables, none of which were picked, and there were bird nests on the trees. She climbed up to dig out two, but they were all empty.

If you don't find the bird's eggs, you simply don't waste time anymore. If you haven't received the goods when you come back, you can dig out again.

Since it was summer and the light in the woods was not dark, I made marks while walking, and after walking for about half an hour, Liu Qingcao happily stopped in front of a thick plant.

Tall main stems, feathery leaves, isn't this just a potato!
Liu Qingcao suppressed the excitement in her heart, and tried to pull out the seedlings with her bare hands, hey, don't say it, just swipe it lightly, and it will come out.

Liu Qingcao thought that it should be because a lot of leaves fell and covered the humus, which made it easier to pull out the potato seedlings. In the past, the hometown used to cover the potato seeds with straw. When eating, it was very convenient to lift the straw and pick it up directly.

There are five or six potatoes hanging from the rhizome of a potato seedling, the big one is the size of a fist, and the small one is the size of a jujube.

Liu Qingcao quickly put the potatoes into the basket, and dug the potato hole without giving up.

"Yeah, there's a bigger one!"

Liu Qingcao happily dug out two large potatoes and put them into the basket, then began to pick up other potato seedlings.

For more than half an hour, Liu Qingcao was repeating the same action.

The workload is a bit heavy, but the rewards are really gratifying.

"The results of more than half an hour are indeed quite a lot."

Liu Qingcao looked at the place "spoiled" by her, and showed a satisfied smile.

A large pile of potatoes, Liu Qingcao probably estimated that it weighs more than sixty catties.

There are still many seedlings far away, and they have grown for many years, which is cheaper for her.

More than sixty kilograms, weaved two rougher frames out of softer rattan. It took a lot of effort, step by step, but it could still be brought back, no matter how hard it was, it would not work.

For the remaining potato seedlings, Liu Qingcao thought that next time when there were no more potato seedlings at home, it would be safe to leave them alone.

Along the way, Liu Qingcao rested when she was tired, and went on her way again when she was rested. When she was in a good mood, time always passed quickly. Liu Qingcao felt that it didn’t take much time, and she arrived home.

Liu Jiangbei sat in the yard and kept looking outside until he saw his sister's figure, then he left the yard and waited for Liu Qingcao's arrival at the gate.

"Sister, you're finally back!" Liu Jiangbei walked around Liu Qingcao, but he didn't find any injuries on his body, so he shifted his gaze to the two baskets on the ground.

"Jiangbei, go and close the courtyard door." After Liu Qingcao finished speaking, she went to the kitchen, picked up a bamboo pot and drank water, she didn't feel it on the way, but now she suddenly relaxed and came home, and she felt her mouth was dry .

Liu Jiangbei, who had closed the door, stood in front of the basket, and peeled away the grass on it. What he saw were large and small oblate things, things he had never seen before.

Picking up a small one and putting it in his hand, he looked left and right without thinking about it, but he knew that it was edible.

It was something my sister found.

When she regained her strength, Liu Qingcao shook her shoulders, thinking that it will hurt tomorrow.

"Sister, what is this? I haven't seen it before. It's for food, right?" Liu Jiangbei handed the potatoes in front of Liu Qingcao.

Liu Qingcao took the little potatoes and said with a smile, "This is our food. No one in the village has eaten it. Of course you don't know. My sister will make it for you later."

In the original owner's memory, this thing has never appeared before. Even if they have seen its stems and leaves, the potatoes grow in the soil, and it would be difficult for people to find it.
