Chapter 11 Processing Wild Vegetables
Back home, Ling Xue planned to process the wild vegetables that she had dug up in the past few days while upgrading her gathering skills.
Before taking action, Ayong first took care of dinner for the two of them. He himself didn't care, but Xiaoxue couldn't go hungry. Otherwise, there will definitely be something wrong with her body.
He had often dealt with Xiaoxue's eating problems with Brother Ling before. Xiaoxue was sent to the hospital countless times because he didn't eat well, which scared them all. Therefore, he and Brother Ling paid more attention to Xiaoxue's diet.
Although few of these wild vegetables have energy, they are not useless at all. The winter after the apocalypse is long and cold, and many people don't have enough to eat, let alone precious things like vegetables and fruits. At this time, who cares how much energy the food contains!
Therefore, she plans to turn these wild vegetables into shelf-stable dried vegetables. In the cold winter, the cat would sit by the stove, boil a pot of water, add a handful of noodles, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and put a handful of dried wild vegetables on top, which can both fill the stomach and ward off the cold.
Ling Xue was directing from the side, and A Yong was doing it. It didn't take long for the two of them to handle it.
A Yong is in a pretty good mood today. He thinks that those who went to Xiaoqing Lake to find Ling Xue today are Ling Xue's good friends? Seeing that someone cared about Xiaoxue, he felt relieved. In the past, he was worried that Xiaoxue would be alone at home without friends. This was good, he no longer had to worry about Xiaoxue being lonely!
If Ling Xue knew A Yong's thoughts, she would definitely say to him: It's too early for you to worry!
The wild vegetables collected by Ling Xue's gathering skills were very clean, without any dust or rotten leaves. Therefore, the two of them even skipped the step of picking vegetables.
At first, when A Yong saw the clean wild vegetables that Ling Xue brought out, he thought they were picked while she was digging them. He was quite dissatisfied and was afraid that she would be tired.
"Xiaoxue, don't do it yourself next time, leave it to Uncle Yong."
Ling Xue explained: "It's not picked in advance, it's just like this after digging."
A Yong thought Ling Xue was stubborn and refused to admit it, and he felt moved in his heart: What a good boy, he worked secretly and still refused to admit it. Those who said bad things about Xiao Xue should stop talking to them.
Ling Xue saw that she couldn't explain it, so she stopped saying anything. It wasn't a big deal anyway, and he would understand it later.
"Okay, I'll do my best to do as little as possible in the future!"
Ayong: It's rare to find wild vegetables in such good condition in shopping malls. Who would believe me if I say I haven't dealt with them before?
Ling Xue:
Even though you omitted this small step, it was a big help to the two of them. I don’t know how much time they saved.
Therefore, they only need to simply wash them aside, blanch them in boiling water, and then take them out to dry.
Several balconies and free spaces in their home were filled with wild vegetables to be dried, and some had no place to dry, so the two had to use all the free spaces in the living room.
After finishing their work, the two of them felt a sense of accomplishment as they looked at the home without any space.
A Yong actually doesn't have any special requirements for what he eats. As long as his powers don't drop, he can eat ordinary food. He thought that life was good enough now. Before meeting Brother Ling, he could be swallowed by a strange beast at any time, let alone having a full stomach.
Thinking of this, he felt sad again. Those damn people kept tricking him into leaving Xiaoxue, how could he do this? If it hadn't been for Brother Ling, he might have died! He is not the kind of person without a conscience!
Xiaoxue has no ability to protect herself. Without him, Xiaoxue may not be able to survive.
Ayong once again strengthened his determination to protect Lingxue!
