Chapter 260: Caring for Plants

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at Doctor Wen with a goatee. She didn't look at him and didn't think he was someone who would steal her recliner. But after all, it was already given away, so it was not easy to mention it. But Tao behind Doctor Wen... Tao Boqi, it seemed to be called that name. I didn't expect that he was not only the proud student of the masters, but also valued by Doctor Wen! Sure enough, excellent people are excellent in every aspect, all-round and versatile, but they don't like to leave room for ordinary people.

Although Shu Xiaoxiao seems to be very busy every time she farms, in fact, she just talks most of the time while other people do the work. This time was no exception. After Shu Xiaoxiao finished explaining the general planting method, those who were cutting, digging, burying the soil, watering, and recording were all busy. Shu Xiaoxiao walked back and forth in the field, looking here and there.

The peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes in the field have not sprouted yet. Shu Xiaoxiao did not study agriculture. Although she grew up in the countryside, she has never worked in the fields. It is good enough for her to remember the season for these things, but she really doesn't know the specific planting time.

Fortunately, she had soaked these seeds in ginseng water, and Shenbao said there was no problem, so she planted them. As long as there is a good harvest this year, she can ask the Agriculture Department or other interested people to try batches next year. It is not a big deal, and there will be plenty of seeds by then.

There are also leeks in the field, the first batch. Although they don’t look very good, they are edible. Seeing that everyone else is busy, Shu Xiaoxiao took a knife and cut the leeks herself. Although there are not many, the flavor is rich. Leek and egg dumplings can also be prepared, which is absolutely delicious.

There are many wild vegetables around. Shu Xiaoxiao saw shepherd's purse. This thing is perfect for making dumplings or buns! It tastes better than meat.

Fang Yuchu also came to join in the fun. Seeing that everyone was busy in an orderly manner, he came over and saw the wild vegetables in front of Shu Xiaoxiao. He was surprised and said, "There are quite a lot of ground vegetables here! Bracken and day lily are all good things. They taste delicious whether they are stir-fried, cooked in soup, mixed cold, or used to make dumplings."

This kind of thing is not common in the palace. These big and clean things are not worthy of appearing in the palace at all. The emperor and his concubines eat precious things. He has hardly come out to see them since he came here, and he almost forgot about this gift from nature. These are the most abundant and freshest in the mountains.

"Chef Fang, let's dig some to make dumplings! I want to eat wild vegetable dumplings and cold wild vegetables." Shu Xiaoxiao said while swallowing her saliva.

"That's no problem. I'm also very good at cooking wild vegetables. Before I entered the palace, even my master praised the wild vegetables I cooked. As long as we dig enough wild vegetables, we will have a wild vegetable banquet today." Thinking of his cooking skills, Fang Yuchu puffed out his chest proudly. He was very good at cooking wild vegetables.

"So what are you waiting for? I'll get the shovel."

When they came to the fields, they brought farm tools and other things with them. Those who were called over by Headmaster Chu to help all brought their own farm tools, so even if they brought them, no one would come to the fields to patronize them.

Shu Xiaoxiao took two shovels and a bamboo basket, ready to work hard today. She must have a wild vegetable feast today.

"Ye Xiao, what are you doing with the shovel?"

Headmaster Chu stopped the young disciple who was about to sneak away, feeling somewhat helpless. The young disciple had such a great talent, but was surprisingly lazy. When he came to the fields, he just opened his mouth and didn't do anything. But even so, he could still discover many new crops, and whatever he planted would grow. If he was more diligent, Daning would not have to worry about the granary being full!

But God was chasing her to feed her, but she was too lazy to open her mouth, which made him a little jealous.

"Master, Chef Fang said he wants to prepare a wild vegetable banquet today. I'll go help dig wild vegetables." Shu Xiaoxiao moved in front of her master and said, "Master Chu doesn't just study farming. He also practices and does everything by himself."

No matter whether it is cutting, digging or burying the soil, he tries every step and is very skilled. He is much more professional than Shu Xiaoxiao.

"Oh, a wild vegetable feast!" Thinking of Chef Fang's cooking skills, Shanzhang Chu swallowed silently. Although the food on the farm was good, it was not as good as Chef Fang's cooking skills. He had missed it a little these days. These wild vegetables were a rare delicacy!

"Well, have you two dug enough? Do you want to bring Pearl along to dig together?" Shanzhang Chu suggested. One of them is old, and the other said he was going to farm, but in fact, they had never done any housework before, so neither of them was cut out for hard work. The wild vegetables were eaten up quickly, so they might as well not dig enough to eat.

"Don't worry, I'm good at this. Just wait to eat, Master!" Shu Xiaoxiao patted her chest. When she was in Qinglian Village, she could always find the freshest wild vegetables and dug a lot of them. She was definitely an expert at it.

"Then go ahead, and don't get too tired." Director Chu waved his hand. He couldn't help much here anyway.

Forget it. It's enough that the little disciple has enough talent. We can't let her do everything. We have to leave room for others to make a living. Let her dig wild vegetables. The few things she has now are enough to make others look up to her.

Imperial Physician Fang was originally planning to introduce to the uncle which wild vegetables were edible and which were not, but when he saw Shu Xiaoxiao's movements were more skillful than his, he silently shut up.

Shu Xiaoxiao dug one plant here and one plant there, and soon filled a basket. She was quite enthusiastic at first, but many of the people around her said that there was a large area of ​​wild vegetables growing in large quantities and they were particularly fresh and tender in the east, so she could go there to dig some.

They have received instructions from their ancestors to take good care of the little cutie. If the little cutie wants to dig wild vegetables, they will find the best place for them to grow and make sure to take good care of them to satisfy their ancestors.

Listening to their chirping sounds, Shu Xiaoxiao felt a little helpless. She looked at the people who were still busy, poured the wild vegetables in the basket into a large backpack, and followed the instructions of the surrounding plants to the valley in the east.

Pearl saw the young master walking away and raised her eyelids without any reaction. If he went somewhere else, she might still be worried, but as long as you go into the mountains, you will be fine. The wild animals in the mountains will not attack the young master, not to mention that Dabai is still in there. As long as the young master is careful and doesn't fall, he will be absolutely safe.

Shu Xiaoxiao followed the plants' instructions and found a large patch of wild vegetables that were fresh, juicy and lush. Shu Xiaoxiao dug a full basket and before leaving she picked some Ganoderma lucidum as big as its head that grew on the tree and took it back with her.

There was a basket full of wild vegetables. If Shu Xiaoxiao hadn't been really craving for this wild vegetable feast, she wouldn't have wanted to carry it back. It would have been too heavy. And with such a large bunch of Ganoderma lucidum it couldn't be light either. Ah, today's activity level had exceeded the limit. She must eat more later.

Carrying wild vegetables and holding Ganoderma lucidum, Shu Xiaoxiao came out slowly. Just as she saw a group of people working in the fields, she put the things on the ground and shouted, "Zhenzhu, come and help me. I can't carry it anymore."
