Yang Xujun called Shen Xuening and said, "Sister Xuening, the guests really like wolfberry leaves. The wolfberry leaves we sent yesterday have been sold out, but everyone is still reluctant to leave. We can prepare more today."

Shen Xue Ning was a little surprised: "Does everyone think it's delicious?"

Yang Xujun said: "Well, they said it tastes better than ordinary vegetables, so they added plate after plate."

Shen Xue Ning said, "I understand." Then she added, "Is there anything else you need to say?"

Yang Xujun thought for a moment and said, "Not for now."

"Okay." Shen Xue Ning hung up the phone, then called Lu Yi and asked her to arrange for someone to prepare more wolfberry leaves.

Lu Yi said he understood.

Shen Xuening also went to the foot of the mountain, carrying a basket, ready to pick some for herself.

The wolfberry leaves are very tender and break easily when pinched. They also grow very lushly. Shen Xue Ning can pinch a lot of them just by standing there.

A grandmother asked, "Ningning, are you here to help too?"

Shen Xue Ning shook her head: "No, I plan to pick some and eat them. They look delicious. Let's try it."

Grandma said, "Wolfberry leaves are a very good wild vegetable. I ate them when I was young, but since there are no wolfberry trees around here, I haven't eaten them since."

Shen Xue Ning smiled and said, "When you have finished picking, take some to eat."

Grandma waved her hands and said, "No, no, you're going to sell it for money. How can we take it? It's not like we have no food to eat."

Shen Xue Ning said: "It's okay, you can't eat much, just take it yourself."

Grandma is a person who knows her limits: "No, no, if you really want to eat it, I'll buy some."

Shen Xue Ning thought about it, and did not insist any more, saying: "That's fine."

……

Shen Xue Ning picked a basket of wolfberry leaves and went home: "Mom, how about we try some wolfberry leaves tonight?"

Liu Juan was packing the dishes that needed to be delivered at home. Hearing this, she said, "Okay, you put them there and I'll cook them later."

Shen Xuening smiled at Liu Juan: "Mom, you are so nice."

Liu Juan said lovingly, "It's just a piece of cake. Go ahead and do your work. I'll call you when I'm done."

Shen Xuening responded: "Yes."

Liu Juan handed the packed dishes to Shen Dong and went to the kitchen.

A basket of wolfberry leaves weighs at least five or six pounds. Liu Juan puts the wolfberry leaves in a basin, adds clean water, washes them first, and then puts them in a large colander to drain.

Liu Juan looked at the wolfberry leaves and thought for a while, then prepared to make one egg and wolfberry leaves, one wolfberry leaf soup, one stir-fried wolfberry leaves, and one fried wolfberry leaves. That was almost it.

After making the plan, Liu Juan began to prepare.

Soon, fragrance wafted from the kitchen.

Shen Wenxu came home from school. As soon as he entered the house, he smelled a strong aroma. He immediately put down his schoolbag and went to the kitchen: "Mom, what delicious food are you making?"

Liu Juan looked back at Shen Wenxu and said, "Eat wolfberry leaves."

Shen Wenxu looked confused: "Wolfberry leaf? What is that? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Liu Juan pointed to the wolfberry leaves in the basket and said, "That's it. Didn't you pick wolfberries before? These are the new leaves of the wolfberry tree."

Shen Wenxu thought for a moment: "Have all the new leaves sprouted?"

Liu Juan said, "Well, it's doing well. Your elder sister even took some to sell at a hot pot restaurant."

Shen Wenxu came over: "Is it delicious?"

Liu Juan shook her head: "I haven't eaten it either, but it looks good and should taste good. Don't ask so many questions. You'll know after you eat it."

Shen Wenxu said: "Mom, is there anything I can help you with?"

Liu Juan said, "That's not necessary. Go do your homework. I'll call you when you're done."

Shen Wenxu hesitated for a moment: "Okay."

Liu Juan quickly prepared the four dishes, and then sent a message in the group, asking those who wanted to eat to come home, but no one came back and went to the cafeteria to eat.

Shen Xue Ning came back: "Mom, are we the only ones here?"

Liu Juan took out the rice and bowls and chopsticks and put them on the table: "Yes, they all went to the cafeteria to eat, we just need to eat."

Shen Wenxu took bowls to serve everyone: "One bowl for mom, one bowl for big sister, and one bowl for me. It's just the three of us eating tonight. Hehe, it's quiet."

Shen Xuening then served her some rice after Shen Wenxu served her: "Thank you."

Shen Wenxu waved his hand: "No thanks, no thanks, why are you being polite? I am lucky, only by following my elder sister can I have delicious food."

Shen Xuening thought Shen Wenxu was very good at talking: "Then tell me what you want to eat and I will take you there."

Shen Wenxu nodded: "Thank you, big sister."

Liu Juan said, "Hurry up and eat."

Shen Xuening tasted all four dishes. Each dish was tender, juicy, fresh and delicious. It was a very good wild vegetable. She understood why everyone liked it, and she also liked it after eating it.

Shen Wenxu said: "Mom, big sister, this is delicious."

Liu Juan also ate it, with a look of amazement: "Xue Ning, what do you think?"

Shen Xue Ning said pertinently: "It's delicious. I didn't expect wolfberry leaves to be so delicious. It's a bit surprising."

Liu Juan said: "I think it would be delicious to make dumplings with it."

Shen Xue Ning's eyes lit up, and she started thinking: "Making dumplings with wolfberry leaves? Can this add a new flavor to the dumplings?"

Liu Juan looked at Shen Xue Ning and said, "You are more creative. I can't think of that."

Shen Xue Ning smiled and said, "I'll think about these things, mom doesn't have to think about them."

Liu Juan said: "Then just think about it, and I will cooperate with you."

Shen Wenxu looked at Shen Xuening, then at Liu Juan: "Mom, just cook. I'll take care of the business."

Liu Juan said, "I know, hurry up and eat, eating won't stop you from eating."

Shen Wenxu chuckled.

As they were talking, two parrots, Guike and Fulin, flew over. They were both so fat that it seemed they could hardly fly. They flew over, landed on the table and looked at the dishes.

Shen Xue Ning asked: "What do you eat?"

The distinguished guest pointed at the egg wolfberry leaf with his claws: "This, this..."

Shen Xuening went to get a pair of chopsticks and picked up some food for them.

After eating, the distinguished guest said: "It's delicious..."

Fulin was more reserved. He didn't say anything, but moved towards the plate and looked at the food.

Shen Wenxu reached out and touched Fulin's head: "So smart."

Shen Xue Ning fed the two parrots some more food until they were full: "Okay, go back to your nest and sleep."

The two parrots flew back to their nest.

Shen Wenxu licked his chopsticks and said, "I didn't expect parrots to like eating wolfberry leaves."

Liu Juan often feeds them and knows the two parrots well: "Those two parrots know how to eat good things. Whenever there are good things at home, they will fly over to ask for them."

Shen Wenxu raised his chin and said with great pride: "Of course, our parrot is the smartest."

The three of them continued to eat and finished all the dishes for today.
