Picking Berries While her cakes are cooking on the stones, Ho Nee Qua Tow goes out to the wooded area just beyond the village to pick some wild berries for breakfast. There are many kinds of berries in the woodland - strawberries, mulberries, raspberries, cherries, gooseberries, and grapes. Berries are plentiful at this time of year. The berries will be used for several things. Some of them will be eaten fresh, some put into soups, some will be dried in the sun for eating in the colder months, and some will be used to make color for face and body painting.
