Chapter 183 Wild Onions
Qiuxiang had to make this backpack for her, so she could carry some things when she went out. The candies were modern candies, Little White Rabbit Milk Candies, and she replaced the wrapping paper with oil paper bought on the street, and rewrapped them one by one.
Zhong Ruiyu couldn't wait to open one and put it in his mouth. His eyes widened instantly: "Mm, it's delicious, very fragrant, and a little milky. Sister Sisi, what kind of candy is this! Where did you buy it? Why have I never eaten it before?"
Zheng Sisi retorted: "You have plenty of food that you haven't eaten yet, what's so strange about that?"
Zhong Ruiyu said shamelessly, "Yes, yes, yes. Can you tell me where to buy it? I'll ask the grocery store in the mansion to buy more than ten kilograms for us to eat."
The others also nodded, agreeing with Zhong Ruiyu's idea.
Zheng Sisi: "Come on, it's still more than ten kilograms. This is made by my master himself. He has gone out to sea now. Go find him!"
Zhong Ruiyu: "Ouch, my heart hurts so much, Sister Sisi, you hurt me."
Several people watched her act funny and laughed happily.
Zhong Ruiyu didn't give up and asked again: "Sister Sisi, can you do it?"
Zheng Si thought for a moment and said, "I helped Master when he was doing it, so I know the procedure. I haven't done it before, so I can give it a try."
Zhong Ruiyu said, "Really? What materials are needed? Tell me and I'll prepare them."
Zheng Sisi said, "We'll talk about it when we have time. The most important thing for making milk candy is milk. You can feed a few cows first."
Zhong Ruiyu nodded solemnly: "I will ask someone to buy a cow when I get back."
Zheng Sisi couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the foodie's initiative.
Zheng Zhimin smiled and said, "Mr. Zhong, you seem to be older than my sister Sisi, why do you call her Sister Sisi?"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhong Ruiyu. He scratched his head and said, "I used to call her Miss Zheng, but when I heard you guys call her Sister Sisi that day, I felt it was much easier than calling her Miss Zheng, so I followed suit, hehehe!"
Several people laughed again after hearing this.
A few people chatted and laughed when they came to a fork in the road. Those on the left could go up the mountain, and those on the right could go a little further and see villagers plowing the fields. It seemed that everyone was quite active.
A few people chose the road up the mountain. There must be a lot of people walking on this road, so the road was very smooth.
Soon they reached the top of a small hill. Zheng Sisi had no idea what wild vegetables the villagers here were digging up. They didn't even take the ground vegetables (shepherd's purse) on the roadside.
Zheng Sisi and her friends didn't plan to walk far, so they just dug wild vegetables on the hillside. Several of them who had eaten wild vegetables before went to look for wild vegetables they were familiar with, such as ground spinach, Houttuynia cordata, and Chinese toon. Zheng Sisi saw dandelions and picked them too.
Zheng Sisi also saw a large patch of mugwort on the hillside, but it was not very tall.
On a small flat ground, Zheng Sisi discovered a large patch of wild onions. The wild onions were delicious when fried or scrambled eggs were made with them. Zheng Sisi called Rose to help her dig some.
The third prince should have gone inside with Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu. All three of them are skilled in martial arts, so Zheng Sisi is not worried about them. She just needs to take care of the little sisters.
Zheng Sisi also found it funny to see the three of them wearing such gorgeous ruqun (skirts) while digging wild vegetables in the mountains. Fortunately, it hadn't rained recently, otherwise their clothes would have been ruined.
Zheng Sisi said to the others, "It's spring now, and all the wild vegetables have just started to grow. After a while, there will be ferns, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms.
In fact, there are many treasures in the mountains, including wild vegetables and fruits, but people don’t know how to eat them and they are wasted. When all the fruits are ripe in autumn, I will go into the mountains to find some ingredients and make delicious food for you.”
Everyone nodded after hearing this. Rose and Lily were so excited that they wanted to drool because the food cooked by the county lady was so delicious. Zheng Zhimin and the other two had never eaten it before, but they thought it should be fun.
