Chapter 81, Mother-in-law
"Mother-in-law!" Tang Fan exclaimed in surprise.
What is a mother-in-law? Dandelion is also!
That little white ball is the dandelion seed that everyone knows.
"Hey, I didn't expect to find this good thing!"
Tang Fan's eyes lit up, and he ran towards the dandelion in three steps and two steps.
This is a really good thing, the stems and leaves can be eaten as wild vegetables, the flowers and roots can be made into tea and drunk, and the whole plant can be used as traditional Chinese medicine, clearing heat and detoxifying, diuretic and gallbladder reliever, it can be said that the whole body is a treasure.
Kids who grew up in the countryside basically didn't have eaten this stuff! Of course, there must have been a lot of little pompoms.
When he came closer, he opened the grass, and the whole dandelion appeared in front of Tang Fan's eyes.
Dozens of fishbone-shaped emerald green branches and leaves, fan-shaped vigorous and vigorous, fanning a large piece, the plant body is much shorter than the nearby grass, but compared with the dandelion on the earth, it is three or four times larger, and the growth is excellent, probably because it is blocked by the dense grass, so it is not scorched by the scorching sun, the leaves are not yellow, plus two bright golden flowers, the whole dandelion is like a flower and plant that has been carefully cared for, green and gratifying, delicate.
Just looking at the appearance, it is a good dandelion.
As soon as he saw this good-looking dandelion, Tang Fan was pleasantly surprised and couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his mouth.
This thing is a good thing, yes, it's a little wrong with the taste, it tastes slightly bitter, although there is also some sweetness, but the sweetness is completely negligible compared to this bitterness.
Therefore, dandelion is about the same level of love as bitter gourd, and many people don't like to eat it very much.
But this is a wild vegetable after all, and it can be regarded as a new ingredient and medicinal herbs found in the other world.
Tang Fan looked around, ready to look for more dandelions.
Dandelion is actually similar to weeds, tenacious vitality, and seeds flutter in the wind, as long as it can fall on the ground with water and sunlight, it can take root and sprout, and the expansion is also very strong, since you can find one, there will definitely be more dandelions.
Sure enough, after looking around carefully, Tang Fan really found a lot of small pompoms on the top of the grass.
Then there's nothing to say, dig it!
Pulling out the dagger that he had been carrying with him from his lap, he slanted everything at the root, and a whole dandelion was dug down, neatly and quickly, without much dirt.
One after another......
Tang Fan dug very hard, but he didn't dig too much greedily, so he only dug a dozen of them, and he was going to take them back to try them first, and if they tasted good, it would not be too late to dig more, anyway, they wouldn't be able to run.
Gather the dozen dandelions that were dug down and break the white pompoms on them one by one.
Although dandelions are famous for this little pom-pom, this pom-pom can't be eaten as a vegetable, it can only be used as medicinal materials, Tang Fan is not an old Chinese medicine doctor, there is no way to use it in medicine, and he doesn't want to change careers to become a medicinal herb dealer, so these little white pompoms are of little use to him.
Well, it can't be said that it's useless, at least it can help him get back some childlike innocence......
Tang Fan took out a pom-pom and put it in front of him, his mouth bulging.
Call~
With a breath of blowing, the fluffy pompoms immediately scattered, and the white dandelion seeds floated into the air, like elves flying happily, and like little paratroopers, drifting with the wind with a yearning for life, looking for a suitable landing site.
Sunshine, grassland, a field of dancing dandelions......
Tang Fan looked at this scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook a smile, and he took out a small pom-pom again......
One by one, Tang Fan was overjoyed, looking at the countless little white paratroopers floating in front of him, his heart was happy and quiet at this moment, like returning to his carefree childhood......
The good times always pass quickly, and a dozen little pompoms are blown all out in no time.
Tang Fan looked at the white 'ribbon' that was gradually drifting away, and he didn't have too much loss, as an adult, he should be very satisfied if he could get back his childlike innocence for a few minutes, how could he ask for too much.
After a little fun, Tang Fan went to pick some hemp face mushrooms, filled the package, and then returned to the backyard with a large bag full of hemp face mushrooms and a dozen dandelions.
In the backyard.
Erdan didn't sleep this time, but lay in front of the kennel with his head down, staring boredly at the wooden door next to him.
When the wooden door was just pushed open, Erdan's little head immediately raised up, and when he saw Tang Fan coming out of the wooden door, he got up even more and ran over happily with his tail wagging his tail.
"Whew~"
"Yo, second egg, I still know how to greet you Lao Tzu, not bad, yes, a good boy!"
Tang Fan touched the little head of the second egg, and raised the dandelion in his other hand, "I found a good thing this time, I will make it for you to taste immediately!"
"Whew~"
The little tail of the second egg wagked even more happily......
Coming to the kitchen, throwing aside the package containing the hemp face mushroom first, Tang Fan took a basin of water and began to wash the dandelion seriously.
While washing, he thought about how to cook the dandelions.
Although dandelion is a wild vegetable, there are many ways to eat it.
Eat it raw, stir-fry, make soup, stir-mix, boil porridge, steam, and even make dumpling filling!
There are many ways to make it, and each has its own flavor.
After cleaning the dandelions, Tang Fan also had a choice in his heart, and he decided to use these dandelions to make two dishes.
A hot dish and a cold dish, and they are all very simple dishes!
Hot, it's dandelion omelette......
Turn on the fire and boil the water, blanch the dandelion with boiling water, control the moisture, chop it, then beat a few eggs into egg liquid, put in the minced dandelion and some salt, stir well, and finally put it in the pan to fry it...... This dish is OK!
Isn't it super easy?
There's a simpler one!
That's ...... Eat it raw!
This is also the second cold dish that Tang Fan ordered.
Of course, eating raw does not mean that you just stuff it in your mouth, you have to dip it in sauce to eat, and it has to be dipped in Dong Beida sauce, which is called authentic!
East North Miso is a pure bean paste, only soybeans, salt and water, plus a long-term fermentation to make, this sauce is not suitable for cooking, but used to dip green vegetables to eat, that is called a mellow aroma! That is called a delicious!
Soon, a steaming dandelion omelette and a plate of washed and drained raw dandelion leaves were placed on the table.
Tang Fan took out a tightly wrapped plastic bucket from the refrigerator, which was naturally Dong Beida sauce.
As a veteran foodie, this cheap and delicious condiment naturally belongs to the standing ration.
Scoop out some miso from the bucket and put it in a small bowl, place it next to the raw dandelions, and all the preparations before the meal are completed, and the rest is just waiting to be stuffed into your mouth.
When Tang Fan pulled out a chair and sat at the dining table, he found that Erdan didn't know when he had jumped onto its special chair.
With the two experiences of last night and this morning, the clever second egg naturally knows that this is the rhythm of the meal.
Looking at the second egg with his tail wagging and impatient, Tang Fan raised his eyebrows, then smiled evilly and took a small piece of raw dandelion leaves, dipped it in some sauce, and put it on a special plate for the second egg.
"Seeing that you are so greedy, then let you taste it first!"
The words to the second egg were soft and kind, but Tang Fan had a bad smile in his heart.
"The dandelion on the earth is bitter, so this otherworldly dandelion ...... It shouldn't be much better!hehe~"
