The Sweet Little Fulang

   Shen Yan came over with a bamboo basket, Shen Xuanqing poured all the chestnuts in his clothes into it, and walked forward with Lu Gu, there were indeed not many things here, he saw many in the deep forest that day, but he was busy hunting so he just picked up some for Lu Gu to eat.

    When passing by a water bun tree, it was covered with red fruits, the fruit was bigger than an adult's finger, and could be stuffed into his mouth.
Shen Yan pointed to the tree and said to Lu Gu: “Brother Guzi, this was bitter buns, you could’t eat them.”

    “Yeah.” Lu Gu nodded, thinking of the sweet bun tree he found, he said, “I found the sweet ones in the mountains, and I wanted to bring you some.
But I was in a hurry to go down the mountain yesterday, so I didn’t have time to pick it.”

    “Then you bring me some next time.” Shen Yan was not polite to him, sweet buns were scarce, and when she heard that Lu Gu had found them, she was very rare and wanted to eat them, she said: “Look at whether my mother would go to the mountains to pick up chestnuts in two days.
If she go, I will go with you too.
You just tell me where the sweet buns, and I can pick them back for us by myself.
I will pick a lot of them.
Well, I still want to bring it back to brother Daqing to eat.”

    When Lu Gu heard her said this, it seemed as if she had found the sweet buns, and she wanted to pick a lot of them back.
Such childish but serious words made him unable to help but bend his eyes slightly, revealing a very faint smile, he nodded in agreement.

    “Shen Yan, come quickly, there were raspberries to eat.” Ji Qiuyue shouted from the front, and she walked to the side of the chestnut forest.
A dwarf raspberry tree with small fruit hanging from it, already red.

    As soon as Shen Yan heard this, she hurried over.
These three dwarf raspberry plants had traces of being picked by someone else.
The remaining green fruits should be ripe again.
There were only a dozen fruits in total.
She picked one and tasted one, sweet and sour, this kind of berry was a bit small, not enough to fill a mouthful.

    She divided the picked fruits, Shen Xuanqing and Wei Lanxiang didn't want it, Ji Qiuyue tasted two, Lu Gu didn't eat much, and gave her the rest.

    The whole family wandered around the mountain all morning, and they didn't go back until noon when it was time to eat.
Shen Yan carried half a basket of chestnuts, and Wei Lanxiang and Ji Qiuyue had about the same amount in their bamboo baskets, not many, but they also picked some mushrooms.
With the wild fruit, fried the mushrooms when you went back, and ate them while they were still fresh.

    Shen Yan took a bunch of mountain flowers in her hand, she walked with Lu Gu, and said: “Brother Guzi, I went to the town and saw someone selling flowers on the street, I should be able to sell these if I pick them, that is our place is a bit far from the town, so we have to go there in the morning, and we won’t be able to sell it if it’s dry at noon.”

    Lu Gu nodded in agreement, when he went to the town with Shen Xuanqing, he also saw someone selling flowers, the beautiful and fresh ones were expensive, and he followed Shen Xuanqing into the mountains.
If he saw beautiful mountain flowers in the mountains, he could pick them up and bring them back but they would dead on the way.
It was not as cost-effective as dried wolfberries and wild bath beads.

    As Shen Yan said, her heart came alive.
The next time Mother took her to the town to sell duck eggs, she would pick some flowers and planted them in the yard, when the time came, maybe she could sell them for some copper coins too.
