Volume 1 075 Wild Persimmon Tree
"You let me meet your mother and go away?Ah? How can I do that? She is a mother-in-law, how will she arrange the two of us behind her back when others see it? Will you say that we are not filial?" Ding Qinghe was stunned when he heard this.
"The lady is so smart, won't she act when she sees the opportunity?" Shi Zhugeng reached out and tapped the tip of her nose, and laughed.
"Okay, I see. Ding Qinghe smiled.
"The weather is getting colder and colder, and I estimate that there will be snow at the end of this month, so we should have prepared for winter. Shi Zhugeng stretched out his hand and hugged Ding Qinghe, and said with a doting smile in his eyebrows.
"I knew I should go to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables, and I was afraid that there would be no vegetables to eat for the winter. Ding Qinghe nodded, don't blame Ding Qinghe for thinking so, it's really that most of the women in the village do this, and as soon as they have free time, they carry the basket up the mountain to look for wild vegetables.
"Well, I will go into the mountains with my second brother and them to hunt the day after tomorrow, and I may not be able to come back that night, so I have to spend the night in the mountains, you ...... If you're afraid, you can go to Ning's house for the night, and you two women won't be too scared to be your companions. Shi Zhugeng paused and said, but when he said it, he looked worried.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Ding Qinghe nodded, since Xianggong made this decision, she just listened to him.
Early the next morning, Ding Qinghe and Shi Zhugeng suspended their plans to go to the county seat to set up a stall to sell porridge.
Shi Zhu Geng went to Shi Zhu Bao's house, thinking that he was going to discuss going hunting with the bolt, but Ding Qinghe didn't get involved, she said that the weather was good today, and she was going to dig wild vegetables in the mountains.
Shi Zhugeng asked her to come back earlier after digging wild vegetables, and Ding Qinghe agreed with a smile.
On the bare path, the white grass swayed, Ding Qinghe swept the dead grass on the side of the road with his hands while walking, and his feet were covered with layers of leaves, which were soft and soft, and the sound of breeding was loud.
The mountains are full of fallen leaves, and the sunlight reflects through the bare tops of the trees and looks golden in the trees.
The more you go into the mountains, the more you feel that there are thorns all over the place, hey, there is a wild persimmon tree in front of you, but the size of the wild persimmon is very small, and I don't know if it's sweet or not?
Ding Qinghe slowly used bamboo strips to remove the thorns and walked forward steadily, fortunately, this wild persimmon tree is not very tall, and with Ding Qinghe's height, he can also pick the red and bright fruits on the branches.
After picking five of them at once, she tasted a wild persimmon first, and she felt that although the taste was slightly sour, it did not affect the taste.
In this way, she picked half a basket neatly with her hands and feet, and basically picked them well.
Ding Qinghe's luck was good, he dug up a lot of wild vegetables, and picked up a few wild eggs, Ding Qinghe was thinking about whether he could hatch wild eggs on the way back.
After Shi Zhugeng came back from Shi Zhubao's house, he heard that Ding Qinghe picked up wild eggs and came back, so he asked her how many wild eggs she had picked up?
"There are nine wild eggs in total. Ding Qinghe smiled and urged him to look at the basket she had put in the corner, she had spread many layers of cotton wool in the basket, as well as her old clothes, so that she would not worry that if the wild eggs hatched chicks, the chicks would not get cold.
"Lady, you're in luck. I'm still wondering if you don't pick up any snake eggs!" Shi Zhugeng quipped with a smile after taking a closer look at it and making sure that the eggs she picked up were indeed wild eggs.
"Snake eggs, I'm still very clear between snake eggs and wild eggs!" Ding Qinghe replied with a smile when he heard this. "I have a good harvest this time, and there are wild persimmons, but they are a little sour, but the taste is okay, do you want to try them?"
"Well, these wild persimmons are delicious! You can eat them for a few days. Shi Zhugeng ate three wild persimmons in a row, he thought it was delicious and said happily.
"I think so too, I still want to make wine with wild persimmons!" Ding Qinghe said.
"How did you come up with the idea of making wine with wild persimmons?" he wondered.
"I want to make wine with wild persimmons and send some to Granny Huang. Ding Qinghe remembered that after the separation, Granny Huang helped herself, at that time her family had not grown vegetables, she asked her to borrow rice, and went to her field to cut leeks, at that time Granny Huang also said that let her not take it to heart, this leek will grow after cutting a stubble.
Sometimes Ding Qinghe saw that Granny Huang was a lot older and had chronic bronchitis, so she wanted to help Granny Huang heal. Now that I have so many wild persimmons, I thought about using them to make wine.
"But the lady wants to cure Granny Huang's cough and asthma?" Shi Zhugeng guessed when he heard this.
"Maybe it works. Ding Qinghe nodded and smiled, and said in his heart that this wild persimmon can be drunk as health wine, and it should be feasible to drink it for Granny Huang.
Wild persimmon can be soaked in wine, persimmon is rich in sugar, pectin and vitamins, has a good heat clearing and moisturizing effect, is a natural health food for patients with chronic bronchitis, hypertension and arteriosclerosis.
However, a large amount of tannic acid in persimmons will affect the body's absorption of iron, so it is not advisable to eat more.
In this way, Ding Qinghe gave Shi Zhugeng three more wild persimmons and didn't let him eat more, she said that if she ate more wild persimmons, it would be bad for her body.
Because she knew medical skills, he believed her words and really only ate six wild persimmons in total.
"Okay, I'll go to the village grocery store in a moment to get some wine and come back and let you make wine with wild persimmons. Shi Zhugeng immediately agreed.
Next, the two of them cleaned up the wild vegetables together, removed the mud from the roots, washed them with water, and then salted them with salt and put them in an urn and pressed them with stones.
"Lady, the second brother gave our family a four-pound big grass carp, I pondered and cut it into pieces and pickled it to make salted fish to eat, and when it was winter, take two or three pieces out and steam it, with some dried wild vegetables and cabbage...... Do you think this is good?" Shi Zhugeng smiled and asked Ding Qinghe's opinion.
Ding Qinghe followed his gaze to a large water tank at the steps, and then approached step by step, ah, it was really a big grass carp, it was swimming happily in the water.
"The fish pieces of this big grass carp can be marinated to make salted fish, and its fish head can be eaten as chopped pepper fish head. Ding Qinghe turned to Shi Zhugeng with a smile and said.
"It's good for the lady to take the idea. Shi Zhu Geng smiled and said, at this moment he had already taken a wine gourd and was about to go out to the grocery store to drink.
