Chapter 346 Picking vegetables

Zhong Ruiyu exclaimed: "How could you not remember such an important thing? If we don't eat them and leave them in the field until they get old, isn't that a waste? Find out where they were planted." Zhong Ruiyu muttered to himself, looking around as he followed behind.

Zheng Sisi led people to the first few plots of land where vegetables were planted. Zheng Sisi lamented: "Oh my God, I really forgot about these vegetables. Some of them are already old."

Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu were anxious: "They asked in unison: "Which one, which one is it?"

Zheng Sisi pointed to the red patch in front and the two green patches opposite and said, "The vegetables in these three plots can be eaten a long time ago."

Sheng Zhen asked: "What is this dish called?"

Zheng Sisi: "These are all side dishes. The red one is called red amaranth, and the one next to it is coriander, which is mainly used as a side dish. That one is called water spinach."

Zhong Ruiyu didn't care what kind of vegetable it was. He asked, "How do I pick this vegetable? Tell me quickly."

Zheng Sisi said: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhong Ruiyu said as a matter of course: "Pick them and eat them for lunch!"

Zheng Sisi: “…………”

Zheng Sisi didn't want to say anything anymore.

But I still taught them how to pick the vegetables: "Red amaranth can be pulled up by the roots. Look for larger and denser ones."

She plucked a few big ones herself, pinched them with her hands, and said, "It's good, not old. I'll make them for you at noon."

Hearing that there was something delicious, several people cheered. Sheng Zhen asked, "Do you want to call someone to help?"

Zheng Sisi took a look and said, "The main thing is that I can't pick them all. Cousin, go and call the people over there. I'll teach them how to pick these vegetables."

Zheng Zhiyuan jumped a few times like a monkey and ran away.

Zheng Sisi saw that Zhong Ruiyu picked the vegetables quickly and went forward to take a look. She said, "Zhong Ruiyu, be careful and don't waste these vegetables."

Zhong Ruiyu said without even raising his head: "Don't worry about my work, it won't be wasted."

Zheng Sisi muttered: "I don't believe you."

After a few people picked a few vegetables, Zheng Zhiyuan came back, bringing a few people who were growing vegetables with him. A few people asked, "County Master, are you looking for us?"

Zheng Sisi said: "Yes, there are several vegetables here that can be eaten. I will teach you how to pick them."

When they heard that they could eat vegetables, they felt a sense of accomplishment and asked happily, "County Lady, what kind of vegetables are they?" The main reason was that they didn't recognize any of the vegetables planted by the county lady. They only knew to take care of them so that they wouldn't grow weeds or be eaten by insects. They didn't know when each vegetable would mature or how to eat it. Now that they could eat vegetables, of course they were happy.

Zheng Sisi pointed at the vegetables in front of her and said, "The vegetables planted in this field are called red amaranth. They are already edible when they grow this tall. Just pick the larger ones and pull them out. When you pull out the larger ones, you can also pull out some of the denser ones, so that the smaller ones behind can grow better."

A few people nodded and started to pull the weeds. Zheng Sisi didn't ask them to pull too many weeds, and the amount they pulled together was more than 20 kilograms.

Then he took them to the water spinach field, pointed at the vegetable and introduced it, "The water spinach planted in this field is called water spinach. You need to pinch off the water spinach from the root just like sweet potato seedlings. After a few days, it will sprout again. Don't pick all of them. Keep the short and tender ones. You can pick them again in a day or two."

As requested, several people pinched off the tall and strong ones, but again, not many were picked.

When we came to the coriander field, Zheng Sisi said, "This is called coriander. It is used as a seasoning like onions. It smells very good. Pick some and smell it."

Zhong Ruiyu suddenly said, "Oh, I see. The red one is named red amaranth. The middle of water spinach is indeed hollow. This vegetable is very fragrant, so it is named coriander. Sister Sisi, do you think I am right?"

Zheng Sisi said: "You can understand it this way."

She added: "Pull up the cilantro by the roots, from the big and dense parts. Just pull five or six kilograms of cilantro. I'll make a cilantro salad for everyone to eat today."

When they returned, everyone carried a bundle of vegetables, even Sheng Zhen was no exception.

Zheng Sisi teased him, "I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Third Prince would also pick vegetables himself."

Sheng Zhen said calmly: "People need to eat, and of course they also need to work."

Zhong Ruiyu answered from the front: "Yes, yes! Please make some more new dishes for us later."

Zheng Sisi replied: "Zhong Ruiyu, besides eating, what else can you order?"

Zhong Ruiyu said proudly: "I know a lot. Before I met you, I was a bully among the playboys in Beijing. How could I not know a lot?"
