Only then did Jiang Yunzhu realize that when spring came, someone would come to sell wild vegetables.

"Girl, they are freshly picked wild vegetables in the morning. If you want them, you can take advantage of them." Mrs. Zhang showed Jiang Yunzhu the wild vegetables in the basket, pleadingly.

She is a villager in Zhangzhuang Village. Two years ago, her husband fell ill and passed away. There are old and young in the family. She has no choice but to dig up these wild vegetables and go to the city to see if anyone wants them.

Before coming to Qishanju, she had been to many places, but no one bought her wild vegetables at all.

Wealthy people look down on wild vegetables. Ordinary people, if they want to eat them, they can just dig them outside the county, and buy them?

Mrs. Zhang was almost desperate.

The wild vegetables are fresh and tender, green and shiny, each one is as long as a palm, with crystal dewdrops on it, Jiang Yunzhu fell in love with it at the first sight. After this winter, every day is either cabbage or radish, and finally there are green leafy vegetables.

"What wild vegetables are there?" she asked.

"I only dug shepherd's purse today, wild river celery and hornet's purse. If the girl wants it, you can tell me which one you want, and I'll dig it for you immediately." Mrs. Zhang said hastily.

When she said this, Jiang Yunzhu really remembered a lot of delicious food, "Now do you have wild spinach, Chinese toon, willow buds and elm money?"

"Wild spinach, Chinese toon, and willow buds are all available. We have to wait two days for elm money, but now there are pagoda flowers."

Sophora japonica is also fine, "How much are these?" Jiang Yunzhu pointed to the wild vegetables in the basket.

Mrs. Zhang asked for a very low price. This basket only costs eight cents.

Jiang Yunzhu directly gave her ten coins, asking her to deliver wild vegetables tomorrow. By the way, she wants those toon and willow buds too.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely come tomorrow, girl, please don't buy someone else's." Mrs. Zhang said hastily.

Ten coins is nothing to Jiang Yunzhu now, but to her, it can save her life.

Mrs. Zhang left happily, and Li He moved those wild vegetables into the kitchen.

"Boss, can these vegetables be sold?" Xue Jing picked up a shepherd's purse and asked. The people who come to their store are all young men and ladies with some money at home, can they love to eat this kind of food? Let him eat, he doesn't even want to eat. He couldn't eat before, and he was afraid of eating this kind of food.

As soon as he saw it, he felt sour water in his stomach.

Li He, Huang Shi and the others were also not interested in these wild vegetables, so if they were asked to choose, white rice would go best with meat, even if they ate it every day, they wouldn't get tired of it.

Jiang Yunzhu smiled. It is precisely because of the special customer group in their store that this wild vegetable can be sold. If you want to be modern, you can't dig it if you want to eat it.

Of course, if you want to put them on the dining table, you have to take care of them.

Take this wasp dish for example, chop it up, then add meat stuffing and stir well, roll it up with bean skin, fry it in oil pan to shape it, take it out, cut it into oblique sections, and fry it in oil pan until the skin is golden.

Put it on a plate and arrange it in a flower-like tower shape. Make a pot of sweet and sour soup here and pour it from above.

The ruddy soup is dotted with flowers, the wasp wasp is crystal clear and green, and the bean skin is golden. If you put two flowers carved from white radish on the plate, the dish will be extraordinary immediately.

Both Li He and Huang were dumbfounded, can wild vegetables do the same? It's meat and fried. They can eat a big bowl of wild vegetables like this.

"This actually spoils the taste of wild vegetables a bit." Jiang Yunzhu said. However, many people say that they love wild vegetables, but in fact they are all Ye Gong’s favorite dragons. Basically, every wild vegetable has a special taste. If it is really so cold and served on the table, few people like to eat it. Otherwise, everyone would have added it to the normal recipe.

This is already very good. It not only tastes the taste of spring, but also takes care of the tongue.

Next, Xue Jing saw that Jiang Yunzhu made shepherd's purse tofu soup with high broth, mixed wild river celery with shredded chicken, and poured a large spoonful of rich red hot oil...

Today, Qishanju has launched new dishes, including four or five kinds of dishes such as hornet vegetable rolls, shepherd's purse tofu soup, and cold river celery.

Most of these young masters and ladies have heard of these wild vegetables, but few of them have eaten them.

Wild vegetables should also be eaten in spring. I don’t know who said this, and everyone immediately decided to try it.

Hornet rolls, this dish is colorful, just like this colorful spring. Take a bite, it is crispy and delicious. The sweet and sour soup on the outside is perfectly blended with the flavors of bean skin, meat filling, and hornet vegetables. It is really delicious.

Shepherd's purse tofu soup, pure and clear, takes a sip, but it is so delicious that people can't help but sigh, this is the taste of spring!

There is also the shredded chicken mixed with river celery, which is spicy and crispy. Once you eat it, you can't stop it.

So they were surprised to find that wild vegetables are so delicious. By the way, take it home and give it to your parents, so that they can try it too.

Today's wild vegetable series has received unanimous praise from everyone, and the running water in the store has also grown a lot. Some people even wrote poems for the wild vegetables. Li He looked at it and didn't know whether to admire Jiang Yunzhu or lament that the wild vegetables are so beautiful when.

Everyone is happy when they make money.

Jiang Yunzhu deliberately kept two bundles of wild river celery, and decided to make dumplings for lunch, so she asked Xie Lian to come with her.

Now there are two kitchens in the backyard, one bigger one is for living in the mountain, and the other one is smaller one for making snacks and making tea. At this time, the big kitchen is still busy, but the small kitchen is very quiet.

Wild river celery tastes similar to modern celery, but because it grows near water, it is more fragrant and crisp. Finely chopped and mixed with minced meat, it has a special aroma. People who love it will love it to death, and those who hate this taste will throw it away like a shoe.

Jiang Yunzhu is someone who likes this kind of taste, so she moved quickly, and soon a round dumpling was wrapped and placed there.

Xie Lian's movements were not slow, and within a short while, she also made a dumpling.

"Do you like to eat dumplings?" Jiang Yunzhu asked her casually.

Xie Lian nodded, she liked it.

"Eat more later." Jiang Yunzhu said.

Xie Lian rolled her eyes. She really liked Qishanju and Jiang Yunzhu.

Jiang Yunzhu felt that the atmosphere was good, and said, "Actually, you saved Qin Yao, Mr. Lin, and even your brother that day."

When mentioning this matter, Xie Lian froze directly.

Jiang Yunzhu slowed down her tone, "If you don't tell me, how can I save them? So the person they should thank is you. I know you are afraid of that person, but that person has already gone to prison, and he will never be able to hurt them. is you."

Xie Lian's eyes were red, and her hands were shaking into balls.

Jiang Yunzhu felt that it was better not to provoke her, but she still had to tell her something, "No matter what happened before, it was not your fault.

You can talk now, your brother or me, everyone likes you very much. "

After saying this, Jiang Yunzhu continued to bow her head to make dumplings.

Xie Lian looked at her, can she speak? Won't they hate her?

Xie Lian slowly regained her composure, but she didn't intend to speak. Jiang Yunzhu knew that this was very difficult for her. What should be said, she has already said, and the rest is left to time!

The next day, Mrs. Zhang really sent more wild vegetables, as well as Chinese toon sprouts, wild spinach, sophora japonica, etc., so a few more dishes were added to the menu of Qishanju, and more people came. Try this tender wild vegetable.

Also on this day, at the end of the day, the number of customers in the store gradually decreased, "Excuse me, do you hire people here? I can do anything, and I don't need much money, as long as it is enough for our family to eat." A thin man stood Ask Li He at the door.

When Li He saw him, he thought of himself. Back then, he was like this too, standing humbly at the door with his wife and mother, just asking for a full meal.

"Wait here, I'll ask the boss." Li He said.

"Thank you, thank you!" the man said gratefully.

Li He went into the backyard and told Jiang Yunzhu about the matter.

Jiang Yunzhu shook her head, she has no plans to hire anyone recently.

Li He went out and told the man about it.

The brilliance in the man's eyes seemed to disappear at once, he thanked Li He, staggered away, and asked other shops if they wanted to hire someone.

Li He felt uncomfortable watching it, and he was lucky to be able to stay in Qishanju.

The next day, the tea was not cold and was open for business. A woman with a child lingered at the door for a long time and walked to the door.

"Second Brother, do you have any leftovers in your store that you can give away?" the woman said, lowering her head in shame. She was not a beggar, but the child was really starving to death.

Li He looked at the child in her arms. It seemed to be about one year old, with a big head and a small body. It seemed to be crying at this moment, but there was no cry, only a faint hum.

"This kid can't do this!" Li He said.

The woman burst into tears immediately, but she couldn't help it.

"I'll go ask the boss first." Li He entered the store and told Jiang Yunzhu about the outside affairs.

"Bring them some snacks and milk." Jiang Yunzhu also saw the woman at the door and said.

Li He immediately agreed to go. He specially picked out a plate of silky lotus root cake that was easy to digest for the woman.

White and sweet lotus root silk cake, and two cups of milk, the woman will kneel down to Li He when she sees this kind of good thing, she dare not even think about it.

"Our boss gave it to you, not me." Li He asked her to get up.

The woman kowtowed to Jiang Yunzhu again from afar.

"Eat quickly!" Li He said.

The woman just got up and took the lotus root silk cake and milk, not daring to eat it by herself, so she fed it to the child first. The child drank the milk and stretched his neck forward vigorously, wanting to drink more.

The woman was afraid that he would choke, so she dared to give him a drink slowly.

After finishing a glass of milk, the child's stomach bulged, and the child still wanted to drink it.

"Don't overwhelm your stomach," Li He said. This kind of food looks like he is very hungry, and he must not be allowed to eat all the time.

The woman quickly took the cup away.

There was still a plate of lotus root cake and a glass of milk left. She put the lotus root cake in her **** and kept it for the children. She couldn't take the milk away, so she drank it.

Li He thought for a while, then took out a string of money from his sleeve and gave it to her, "That's all I can do for you."

The woman was very grateful, and then she took the money and left.

Li He brought back the cup and plate, and asked Jiang Yunzhu, "Boss, more and more people are fleeing famine on the street recently, should we buy more food?"

Jiang Yunzhu also noticed this problem, "They all escaped from Changfeng Mansion, right?"

Li He nodded, "If it were in previous years, it would be time to plant the land at this time, but I heard that there hasn't been a single drop of rain in Changfeng Mansion..."

In the past two years, the Changfeng Mansion has been plagued by disasters, and waiting for the rain to start farming should be the last hope of many people. But now, seeing that this hope is gone, everyone can only come out to flee the famine.

Moreover, there will definitely be more and more people like this. By then... Li He was worried about living in the mountains, so he asked Jiang Yunzhu if he wanted to buy more food for storage.

Jiang Yunzhu had already bought three batches of grain when he came, and spent almost all her money at that time, which should be enough for them to eat for a while. But she didn't want to be too special, so she said, "Would you like to go to the grain store?"

"Okay." Li He went out quickly.

After a while, he ran back, looking anxious, "Boss, hurry up and buy food, the price of food has already started to rise."

When he went to the grain store just now, some people in the store were complaining about the price of grain, and some people were grabbing grain. The owner of the store said that all the grain today is sold out, and they will not sell it, and the price may increase tomorrow!

up so fast? Jiang Yunzhu was surprised, and then she took out ten taels of silver and asked Li He to buy grain.

"Boss, don't you want to buy more?" Li He asked.

The grain of ten taels of silver can be eaten by ordinary people for a long time, but Keqi Shanju can use up one bag of rice and two bags of noodles a day, which seems to be not enough.

"You go first." Jiang Yunzhu said. He may not be able to buy these twelve taels! I usually see that there is a lot of grain in the grain store, but if everyone buys it, it will be sold out soon.

Li He hurried over. After half an hour, he came back angrily, just as Jiang Yunzhu guessed, he only bought six taels of silver for grain.

"It's enough for us to eat for a while." Jiang Yunzhu said.

In the next few days, there were more and more disaster victims on the streets of Wuling County. At first, everyone was willing to help them, but food prices kept rising. Some people said that the price kept rising because of these victims. The money spent on buying rice is not so enthusiastic about these victims.

Some people even complained why the government didn't drive these refugees out.

But something happened that day, which completely intensified the contradiction between the two.

Several victims robbed a small restaurant. Although the police quickly arrested the victims, the people still started to be wary of those victims.

The life of the victims is getting more and more difficult.

On this day, Hu Butou came to the door.

"Hu Butou, what are you doing here?" Jiang Yunzhu came out and asked in person.

"It's nothing serious. In the afternoon, the county magistrate invites you to the county government office. Don't worry, you are not the only one invited. The rich households and shopkeepers in Wuling County are all invited by the county magistrate." Hu Tutou laughed.

"What is this for?" Jiang Yunzhu felt strange.

"I don't know either. I'll know when you go. Let me go. I have to go to another house to inform." Hu Butou left quickly.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yunzhu went to the county government office, only to see that the place was crowded with people. Who would dare not come if the county magistrate invites you.

Jiang Yunzhu felt that she was just a small character, so she found a place where no one was around and waited.

About a quarter of an hour later, Mengzhi County came.

Everyone saluted Mengzhi County.

It's only been a month since I saw him. Meng Zhixian seems to be several years old, his eyes are bloodshot, and his expression is tired.

He asked everyone to get up, and said, "I want everyone to see something." After speaking, he led everyone out.

Everyone didn't know what he meant, but they could only keep up.

Along the way, someone recognized that it seemed to be the way out of the city.

Sure enough, soon, they arrived at the gate of the city. Someone with sharp eyes found that there seemed to be a lot more soldiers guarding the city gate than before.

When they got out of the city gate, everyone stood there in a daze.

All the victims, old and young, were all in ragged clothes, with yellow and emaciated faces.

When they saw Meng Zhixian and others, they struggled to get up and begged the masters to give them a way out.

"You've seen it all." Meng Zhixian gritted his teeth and said. The disaster victims in the county are actually only a small part.

People look at me, I look at you, there are those who sympathize, and those who are indifferent.

Soon, Meng Zhixian explained his purpose for asking everyone to come today. He wanted to open a porridge shed outside the city to serve porridge. The only thing to do is to open a warehouse for disaster relief, and it needs the approval of the court, but these people are not from his Wuling County, and they are from Changfeng Mansion for disaster relief, so he has no reason to open a warehouse.

He wanted all the rich families and shopkeepers in the county to donate a little silver or rice to help these common people.

It turned out to be like this, some people are willing to donate a little, but some people feel that Mengzhi County is meddling in their own business.

"Master Zhixian, isn't Wuling Mine always short of people?" Someone asked Mengzhi County, if they were sent there, it would be fine.

Mengzhi County held back his anger, "Wuling Mine wants strong young people. If these victims can live, who wants to wait here to die."

No one talks anymore and starts donating.

Some people donated one tael, some donated five taels, and the most donated twenty taels, but for those victims of the disaster, these moneys were a drop in the bucket.

Meng Zhixian was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. He did so under a lot of pressure. If he insisted again, if these wealthy households started to make trouble, he would not be able to be the county magistrate.

"I'll donate two hundred taels." At this moment, someone said.

Everyone looked at him one after another, but it was Shopkeeper Song of Baofulou.

"Master Zhixian, I don't have that much money with me, can you let me go back and get it?" Shopkeeper Song said.

"Of course." Meng Zhixian treated him mildly.

Shopkeeper Song looked at Jiang Yunzhu who was behind the crowd, and said with a smile, "Qishanju and tea don't make money every day. I wonder how much Boss Jiang will donate this time?"

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Jiang Yunzhu.
