On the way to escape from famine, I amaze the world with my medical practice

Chapter 11 Stocking up on food
  Ye Hongfu followed Ye Hongchang's instructions and asked everyone to stock up on water and wild vegetables for the next two days. There may be no water at all for a certain period of time.

With the mission, everyone got busy, including the Ye family. Some people stayed behind and some went into the mountains to look for things.

It was almost noon. Ye Liwen and Ye Lixuan ran back from a distance and shouted happily, "Grandma, we found a pond with very clear water, just behind the mountain over there."

Wang's eyes lit up, "Really? Then eat quickly. After eating, take out everything that can hold water."

She said to Ye Hongshun again, "Hurry up and eat your food, go tell the others, and go fill up the water."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

Ye Xiangxiang picked up a bowl of wild vegetable porridge. In fact, it couldn't be called porridge. It should be said to be boiled wild vegetables, because there wasn't much rice in it. At first glance, it looked green. None of the fat-reducing meals she had eaten were so vegetarian.

But she was also hungry at this moment, so she picked up the bowl and ate very deliciously. There was a little salt and lard in the porridge, so it was actually okay to eat.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou served everyone rice, and then they took their own bowls to eat. When it was their turn, the pot was filled with clear soup and little water. It should be said to be wild vegetable soup.

Ye Xiangxiang gave some of his bowl to Mrs. Li, smiled slightly and said, "Auntie, eat it."

Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "Xiangxiang, you have just recovered. Now you need to eat something good. But we really don't have anything good, but you have to fill your stomach. I'm not hungry, so you can eat more." some."

She wanted to put the vegetables back, but Ye Xiangxiang wouldn't let her go. "I'm just a little bit better, but I don't have a big appetite. Auntie, please eat. Only when you're full can you have the strength to go into the mountains to find wild vegetables."

Mrs. Zhou sat down next to her, and Ye Xiangxiang took some more for her, so they finally had something in their bowls.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't refuse, Ye Xiangxiang just wanted them to eat. The two sisters-in-law looked at each other and laughed.

"Xiangxiang, don't you feel uncomfortable now?" Zhou asked with concern.

Ye Xiangxiang shook his head, "It's not uncomfortable anymore. I should be fine in two days."

Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. It's really difficult now, but I can't afford to be sick. Your mother didn't sleep well during those days when you were sick, just because she was afraid that you would make a mistake. Fortunately, God opened her eyes. You’re getting better and you’re still so capable.”

Ye Xiangxiang said nothing and lowered his head to eat the vegetables.

Everyone was eating with bowls, one bowl per person, and they were very happy to eat. No matter how good the meal was, they were at least half full. It was good to find so many wild vegetables today.

While Ye Xiangxiang lamented how hard life is now, he was also moved by the unity and help of the Ye family. In such a difficult day, they had no selfish intentions and just wanted to live a good life as a family. It was really not easy.

After lunch, Mrs. Wang arranged work for everyone. Fetching water was the top priority, while the others went to find wild vegetables. Ye Xiangxiang had only recovered a little while, and Ms. Wang wanted her to stay and rest.

"Grandma, I'm also going to look for wild vegetables. Let eldest sister stay." Ye Xiangxiang said, "I often follow my father up the mountain and know many wild vegetables. Some of the vegetables you don't dare to dig, I may know whether they can be eaten."

Now Mrs. Wang firmly believes in this granddaughter's words. She even has medical skills. She may really know something that ordinary people don't know.

Wang nodded, "Okay, Cuicui will stay and take care of your second uncle with your second aunt. Everyone else will go dig wild vegetables in the mountains."

Everyone took the sickles and other tools, divided into two groups, and went to work separately.

The men in the family went to fetch water, while Mrs. Wang took her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to dig wild vegetables.

Ye Xiangxiang liked outdoor adventures in her previous life. She knew a lot of edible wild vegetables in the mountains. She found that the wild vegetables Zhou and the others found were very common, indicating that they were more cautious.

There may not necessarily be no good things in the mountains, but if you don't recognize them, you won't dare to take them back and eat them, otherwise they will poison people. It rained a little the day before yesterday, and it’s summer again. There should be some wild fungi in the mountains.

There were wolves in the mountains. Wang didn't let everyone go into the mountains. They just wandered around the foot of the mountains, where they could also find a lot of wild vegetables.

Mrs. Li had already dug several mustard plants and was very happy. This food tastes good. It would be great if she could eat mustard green dumplings, but in this situation, she could think about it.

Ye Xiangxiang walked in front alone, searching carefully for everything he could eat, and saw a bunch of fungus.

The place is very humid and the fungus grows well.

She hurriedly knelt down to pick it up, and Mrs. Zhou caught up and said curiously, "Xiangxiang, can this thing be eaten?"

Ye Xiangxiang nodded, "It's edible, but there was no shortage of food at home before, so I never brought this thing back. Wash it, blanch it in water, add a little oil and salt, and you can eat it."

Mr. Zhou has never eaten it, but he can often see it in the countryside. It will come out when it rains, but he has never thought of picking it up and eating it.

Wang said, "From what Xiangxiang heard, she often follows Lao Er into the mountains and knows more than us."

Everyone squatted down and put all the fungi around them into their backpacks. There were a lot of these things on the rocks, but they couldn't be stored. Ye Xiangxiang thought that he could just take them back and have a meal.

Going further, I found nightshades and dandelions. Dandelions are considered medicinal materials. It is normal for people who do not know medical skills not to recognize them and just regard them as weeds.

Nightshade is slightly toxic, but it's fine if you eat less of it, and it can be dried and stored in the sun. I also bought some of both.

Mrs. Wang knew it was right to bring her here, otherwise they would not dare to dig these things back for fear of being poisonous.

Ye Xiangxiang walked in front, and the others followed her. They entered the mountains and found two kinds of wild fungi in the moist place. There were several clumps of them. Ye Xiangxiang quickly put all the wild fungi into his backpack.

There are indeed a lot of edible wild vegetables. After Ye Xiangxiang saw the situation in the mountains, he became less worried. Although the conditions were more difficult after crossing Lianfeng Mountain, he would not be able to find anything to eat.

Not far away, there were other members of the tribe looking for wild vegetables. Wang looked at the tribe members in the distance and Ye Xiangxiang said, "Grandma, let me teach you how to recognize wild vegetables."

After that, we have to move forward together. Only when everyone has something to eat can we move forward smoothly. Wang nodded and called the others over.

Ye Xiangxiang taught him while digging by himself. In a blink of an eye, the sun was almost setting, and Mrs. Wang called everyone back.

"That's it. It's enough to eat for several days. Let's go down the mountain quickly. It will get dark soon and it will be too dangerous in the mountain."

Everyone was obedient and went down the mountain together.

The meal in the evening was still wild vegetable porridge, but because there were more types of wild vegetables, it tasted more fragrant. There were wild mushrooms in the wild vegetable porridge, which was very fragrant. Everyone also enjoyed eating the fungus served cold.

One night, many people were praising Ye Xiangxiang, saying that she was worthy of being Ye Hongchang's daughter and that she was so knowledgeable at such a young age.

Ye Xiangxiang just smiled slightly. It seems that everyone can accept that she knows many things. The name of Ye Hongchang's daughter is really useful.

Because of Ye Hongchang's ability, everyone thought it was not surprising that a fourteen-year-old girl showed some intelligence.
