Chapter 46 46 Ailanthus tree

  This kind of tree, which she often haunts in the village, and the ones she has seen in those few mountains, doesn't seem to be anything special.

   However, she had picked the leaves of that kind of tree, but it didn't have such a strong fragrance, but rather smelled a little.

  So, this tree is not the same species as the ones she saw before?

   Qin Xiaoyao had a happy expression on his face.

   "This is a toon sprout. It can be used for scrambled eggs and salads. It tastes delicious!" Thinking of the taste of toon scrambled eggs, Qin Xiaoyao couldn't help swallowing.

   By the way, we ran out of wild eggs at home.

   Go back at night, she might go to the village to buy some eggs.

   Well, that's a good idea.

   "This... can be eaten too?!" Li Da Niu looked surprised.

   After the yam incident, she now has no doubts about Qin Xiaoyao.

   Her sister Sanya said that if this toon sprout can be eaten, it will definitely be edible!

   "Of course!" Qin Xiaoyao smiled brightly.

  From the memory of her predecessor, she knew that toon sprouts were not popular in Lingquan Town.

   At least, the predecessor didn't even know that such a dish existed.

   So, it's not surprising that Li Da Niu doesn't know about toon sprouts.

   I don’t know, good, novel and delicious things, you will like them more in Lai Fu Lou, right?

The yam before    is a good example.

   "In the mountains in front, there are also such trees in some places!" Li Da Niu said immediately.

   Qin Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, feeling excited.

   But Li Da Niu said again: "But the taste of leaves is not the same as this one."

   "Can the leaves of this tree taste different?"

   Qin Xiaoyao understood after thinking about it.

   "What's the difference? Those trees you see are not the same species as this one."

   Seeing that Li Da Niu was still looking at the toon tree, as if looking for this tree, it was different from the trees she had seen before, Qin Xiaoyao said again: "The ones you saw before should be the Ailanthus tree."

   "The Ailanthus tree is similar to the Chinese toon tree, and even the branches and leaves are not very different."

   "The only obvious difference is that the leaves of the Ailanthus tree are stinky, completely different from the leaves of the Ailanthus tree."

   Da Niu Li was instantly stunned.

   "Yes, the leaves of those trees are indeed smelly!" he said.

   Qin Xiaoyao nodded.

   continued: "You can't eat the leaves of the Ailanthus tree. That thing is of little use other than being chopped for firewood. You don't think you can eat toon sprouts, so go and pick that thing."

  Li Da Niu nodded quickly.

   "Well, I got it! Thank you Sister Sanya for reminding me!" She quickly smiled and thanked.

   "Okay, let's stop standing and pick toon buds quickly."

   "With these toon sprouts, we can make a fortune tomorrow!" Qin Xiaoyao said with bright eyes.

   Immediately told Li Da Niu how to pick toon sprouts.

   What they can sell is only tender toon buds, old ones can’t buy them.

   But when picking toon buds, you have to fold the old toon buds too. In this way, the new buds can be re-sent on the fracture.

  Li Da Niu listened and quickly got busy with Qin Xiaoyao.

   After some tossing, both of them finally picked up most of the toon buds in the basket.

   "Go around and see if you can dig some more yam." Putting the two baskets in the shade, Qin Xiaoyao said.

   "If you can't find it, let's go back now. Otherwise, this toon sprout will be shredded."

   "Success!" Li Da Niu replied.

   Holding a sickle and a small hoe, he split up with Qin Xiaoyao again and looked for yam vines nearby.

   As a result, she found a new yam vine for her.

   The two of them worked together and dug out another twenty kilograms of yam.

   "Such a big mountain, we can't finish walking in a while." Qin Xiaoyao wiped the sweat from his forehead.

   "Otherwise, let's go here first today. We'll all go back and pack up. We have to go to the city tomorrow morning."

   "Okay!" Li Da Niu replied.

   She is feeling exhausted.

   But tired is tired, thinking of today's harvest, but my heart is very sweet.

  So, the two packed up the yam and went back the same way.

   After finding the yam that was hidden by the road, I quickly returned to the foot of the mountain.

   Then, go home.

   Song family.

   When the two arrived, Liu Shi and Song Yun were still busy weaving straw sandals.

   Seeing that the two of them brought back a lot of yam, Liu's face was filled with joy.

   hurriedly stopped his work, greeted the two of them, and went to the kitchen to make sugar water for them.

   entered the kitchen and drank two bowls of sugar water, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

   "Didn't you say before that all the yams were dug up? Why did you find so many yams again?" Liu Shi smiled and looked at the yams brought back by the two of them, and was overjoyed.

   "The previous one was dug, but there are still more on the mountain. And I guess there are still quite a few."

   "But don't worry, the mountain is not as eye-catching as the foot of the mountain. Except for us, no one should go up that mountain. We can dig slowly later." Qin Xiaoyao said.

   Liu Shi smiled and nodded.

   "That's the reason, take your time, don't rush." ​​He replied.

   Suddenly, Liu Shi saw the toon sprouts in the baskets on their backs.

   "What are those?" asked suspiciously.

   Isn't that a leaf? Is there something hidden underneath?

  Qin Xiaoyao followed Liu's line of sight, and when he saw the toon bud, his eyes lit up instantly.

   "Toon sprouts, treasures found in the mountains!" said happily.

   Then, he told about his discovery of the toon tree with Li Da Niu.

   also said that toon sprouts are edible and precious.

   Liu Shi was shocked to hear this, and at the same time admired his daughter-in-law even more.

   "Okay, mother, bring me the scales. I'll weigh today's harvest first." Qin Xiaoyao said quickly.

   "Hey, good." Liu Shi quickly responded and went to get the scale.

   After a while, I brought a scale.

   Qin Xiaoyao and Li Da Niu weighed their income today.

  Because the scale of the weighing is not enough, it was weighed several times before the result was obtained.

   "A total of 78 jins of yam and 18 jins of toon sprouts." Qin Xiaoyao said.

   "According to what we said before, I am six to four. If you have seventy-eight catties of yam, you can divide—"

   "Well, thirty-one pounds and twenty taels."

   "Then five cents a pound is—" Qin Xiaoyao continued to calculate in his heart.

   "One hundred and fifty-six characters." Immediately said.

  Li Da Niu's heart trembled.

   "This—so much?!" said in surprise.

  Qin Xiaoyao calculated it again, making sure it was right, and then nodded.

   "This is the money for yam. If you have toon sprouts, you don't know the price yet, so you can only sell it tomorrow."

   Big girl Li had a smile on her face.

   "Hehe, it's alright, it's alright...don't be in a hurry." The smile was a little silly.

   It only took half a day, and she earned 156 wen just from the yam. More than her man's wages for a day's work in town...

   Hehe, if she can do this every day in the future, it won't take long for her to get big.

   Qin Xiaoyao was happy when he saw Li Da Niu's reaction.

   "Wait, I'll give you the yam money first." Immediately, he said.

  Li Da Niu quickly returned to her senses and quickly grabbed Qin Xiaoyao.
