Chapter 237 - 0237: Heart to Heart 1_1
While Lu Jiang was busy in the kitchen, Feng Qingxue didn’t really go to rest. Instead, she went to the west room to sort the wild vegetables and herbs the children had picked that day. She categorized them one by one, cleaning off the dirt and impurities.
Lu Tianzhi, Guan Yu, and Feng Qingyun were helping her, trailing before and after her.
Although they were young, they could recognize the dandelions, Artemisia argyi, and Chenopodium album. They picked them out one by one and separated them.
Feng Qingyun sat on the Domino stool, her tender little hands solemnly removing the yellowed leaves from the root of the dandelion, then placing them into the bamboo basket beside her. "Sister, when can we have a meal of taraxacum porridge, just like you used to make?"
"Auntie, isn’t taraxacum bitter? I don’t like to eat it! It’s really bitter." Guan Yu’s little face was all scrunched up.
He had enough of eating bitter wild vegetables when he was young!
"It’s not bitter!" Feng Qingyun answered, "The porridge my sister makes is delicious. I can drink two big bowls all at once!"
As she spoke, she held up two fingers to Guan Yu.
"Is it really delicious?"
"Really!" Feng Qingyun nodded enthusiastically, "My sister puts peanuts in the porridge and even adds egg drop."
Upon hearing this, Guan Yu bit his lower lip with his white teeth, struggling. After a while, the desire from deep within him took over, and he turned to Feng Qingxue, stammering, "Auntie, tomorrow I will dig a lot, a lot of taraxacum, I also want to drink porridge with peanuts and egg drop. It’s so delicious!"
