Yang Yun and Yang Yong went together after pickling salted eggs, the wasteland of the back mountain and the right mountain went around, the sweet potatoes in the five acres of sweet potato fields in the back mountain grew well, Yang Yun brought a vegetable basket, and wanted to pick some sweet potato leaves that could be fried and eaten at noon.

"Sister, can you eat sweet potato leaves? These sweet potato leaves have always been boiled for pigs or fed to cows. ”

"Of course you can, everyone can eat sweet potatoes, not to mention the leaves, I don't know how delicious the fried sweet potato leaves with garlic are."

"Yes, if you say it's delicious, it's delicious." Yang Yong is becoming more and more accommodating to Yang Yun, Yang Yun was kidnapped once, and after returning home, Yang Yong was good to Yang Yun, Yang Yun felt that Yang Yong was about to have a trend of developing towards the twenty-four filial brothers. Yang Yun and Yang Yong picked a basket full of sweet potato leaves, and after picking sweet potato leaves, Yang Yun and Yang Yong went to the twelve acres of wheat fields on the right mountain to have a look. Go to the foot of the right mountain, Yang Yun saw a piece of green wheat in his own field, the wheat growth is too gratifying, Yang Yun looked at the wheat carefully, and did not find any symptoms of wheat, Yang Yun knew that this year his family will have a bumper harvest.

Yang Yun took a turn under the right mountain and found that in the trap that Uncle Li and the others dug, there was a rabbit that fell in, but unfortunately the rabbit was dead. Yang Yong scooped up the rabbit with a stick, and Yang Yun saw that the rabbit's blood had not completely coagulated, proving that the rabbit had just died and could eat meat again today.

"Sister, I think you are a lucky star, every time I come to the right mountain with you, I can pick up wild things."

"It's going to be May, and the animals like to go out for a stroll at this time, and it's the season when the products are at their most abundant. There are not only many wild vegetables but also medicinal herbs on the mountain. ”

Yang Yun walked around the bottom of the right mountain, originally the right mountain was overgrown with weeds, since the Yang family and the Li family opened up the wasteland here, most of the weeds under the right mountain were cleaned up by Yang Yun. Yang Yun found that in a corner of the right mountain, there was a small stream of water that seemed to flow down from the mountain. There is a place under the right mountain, which has been relatively humid, and the plants in that place are relatively tender, which is thought to be the reason for the abundant water supply.

Yang Yun thought in her heart, there will be no mountain spring water on this mountain, it would be better if there was a mountain spring. In the future, maybe the wasteland opened by the Yang family and the Li family will no longer have to go to the river to pull water to water the ground, and they can directly receive mountain spring water from the top of the right mountain to water the ground.

Yang Yun has always liked the modern kind of scientific and mechanized farming method for farming, such as if you help water the vegetable field, you can use bamboo to receive water from the mountain, and then put bamboo in the field, and connect the water directly to each field, if you want to water directly from the total water source to turn on the switch, the water will be automatically poured on each piece of land, which not only saves manpower, but also improves work efficiency. It's really good to think about using this method, I must find a time for Uncle Li to accompany him to the mountain to find the water source of the mountain spring, Yang Yun smirked while thinking about these things.

"Sister, are you okay, why are you standing there giggling?" Yang Yong saw Yang Yun standing under the right mountain and smirked for a while, the younger sister of this family can't be evil.

"I'm fine, I'm thinking of something, if I can find a way to help our field implement scientific planting, we can improve work efficiency and increase yield."

"I said sister, are you really okay, I don't understand any of what you said."

"Hehe, it's okay, I'll just talk about it casually, let's go home and cook, it's almost noon."

Yang Yong lifted a rabbit, Yang Yun took a basket of sweet potato leaves, and the two brothers and sisters walked back in the direction of home. When Yang Yun met Zhou Zhouniang and Zhou Xiaohai's arrest halfway through, everyone in the village knew about it, and they also knew that Yang Yun was kidnapped by Zhou Xiaohai, and the whole village didn't know how much they spit on Zhou Xiaohai's family, and some children also threw small stones at Zhou Xiaohai's house, and Zhou Dahai and Zhou Zhouniang were so frightened that they didn't dare to go out.

Thinking that Thursday Niang took advantage of the lack of people at noon, she dared to come out of the village to walk around, Yang Yun took a look at Thursday Niang, Yang Yun just stood there motionless, did not speak, and looked at Thursday Niang with a smile. Thursday Niang looked so empty-hearted, and Yang Yun looked straight at her, so she quickly turned around and fled. And Yang Yong didn't have a good face for Thursday Niang, since Liangliang beat Yang Xuan, Thursday Niang's attitude of coming to apologize was high, and Yang Yong was even more disgusted with Thursday Niang.

Yang Yun rested for a while after eating at noon, and then pulled Yang Yong to find Li Dabao and they went to the river to fish and shrimp. Fishing has to be played, and there is food, a few children are naturally willing, Yang Xuan and Kong Tianyou heard Yang Yun say that they want to fish, and they are reluctant to go to Dr. Xu's house in the afternoon.

Yang Xuan learned pharmacology knowledge at Dr. Xu's house in the morning, and picked and practiced medicinal materials in the afternoon, which would make the two children unwilling to practice medicinal materials when they saw that they had to play, Yang Yun asked them to go to Dr. Xu to say, and Dr. Xu naturally would not embarrass the two children. Five or six-year-old children are exactly the age when they chase chickens and dogs and are greedy for fun, and they can calm down and learn knowledge every morning and evening, and Yang Yun is already very satisfied.

In the afternoon, a group of people went to the river, Yang Yun first asked Yang Yong and them to put the shrimp basket where there are many aquatic plants, and fixed it with a rope, and the shrimp basket will not be put away until tomorrow morning. Every morning when Yang Yun comes to the river to wash clothes, she can see many shrimp gathering in groups by the river and eating plankton on the riverbank. After putting the shrimp basket, Yang Yong and the others cast the fishing net into the river to catch fish. Soon many fish were caught, large and small in two buckets.

Several people brought the fish home, the Yang family and the Li family each shared some, and there were some children who watched and helped, and Yang Yun alone gave a few to others. It's not easy for people in the village, anyway, there are a lot of fish, and Yang Yun is naturally happy to share these with everyone.

Yang Yun still left some fish out to eat as usual, and the excess fish was salted and dried into dried fish. After Yang Yun and Yang Yong finished processing the fish, they asked Yang Yong to go to the grocery store to buy some glutinous rice and shiitake mushrooms and come back, there were still some zongzi leaves left at home, and Yang Yun planned to make zongzi again. This time I wanted to make it for Uncle He and them to eat, Uncle He and they came to Tongzi Town, the Dragon Boat Festival was on the road, and they didn't eat zongzi at all, Yang Yun planned to make some for them to taste. The Yang family can't come up with anything good to thank others.

"Sister, you have to make zongzi again, the zongzi you make are delicious, I want to eat four this time." Kong Tianyou gestured four fingers to Yang Yun. Yang Xuan directly slapped him out, indicating that he wanted to eat five.

"Hehe, yes, but you have to help with the work before you eat, so you can have zongzi to eat."

"Well, we'll help my sister with the work." Yang Xuan and Kong Tianyou nodded vigorously to Yang Yun, indicating that they were willing to work.

Last time, the rice dumplings were breaded with red bean paste, braised pork belly, and shiitake mushrooms. Yang Yun plans to put more fried shrimp and peanuts to make five-spiced dumplings this time, and replace the bean paste with mung bean paste, mung beans can cool off, and the taste will not be worse than red bean paste. Grandpa and grandma also approved of Yang Yun making zongzi and giving them to Uncle He, after all, they saved their granddaughter, and their own family conditions were limited, and they couldn't come up with good things to repay others.

Grandma's body is already better, she can sit up, grandma is a heart disease, Yang Yun has returned home, she will naturally get better. After Yang Yong bought the glutinous rice and shiitake mushrooms, he went with Yang Yun to grind the mung beans in half, and the mung beans used to make mung bean paste must first be ground, soaked in water, shelled, steamed, sweetened and then rolled into a mud ball before they can be wrapped into the zongzi.

As soon as the next day dawned, Yang Yong called Dabao to collect the shrimp baskets that were put in the river yesterday, and yesterday they put six shrimp baskets, and today Yang Yong and they collected two buckets of shrimp. Yang Yun looked at the dried shrimp that Yang Yong brought back and said that she was very satisfied, and the best shrimp wrapped in the zongzi was dried shrimp. The river shrimp itself cannot be like a sea shrimp, it can grow a very large one, so these small shrimps are most suitable for making zongzi.

Yang Yun got up in the morning and soaked the mushrooms and glutinous rice in water, and asked Yang Xuan to clean the dumpling leaves. Yang Yun put the pork belly in the pot, put the ingredients and marinated it, and then fried a pot of peanuts in another pot. Let Yang Xuan and them help remove the peanut skin, the two little radish heads will eat fried peanuts while removing the peanut skin, Yang Yun is too lazy to talk about them, anyway, peanuts and fried shrimp don't need too many peanuts.

Yang Yun asked Yang Yong to scrub the small shrimp clean, scoop it up and drain the water. After Yang Xuan and the others peeled the peanuts, Yang Yun wrapped the peanuts in a piece of clean gauze and asked Yang Yong to crush the peanuts with a rolling pin.

After the peanuts are crushed, Yang Yun puts oil in the pot, puts garlic, and sautés the green onions, and then puts the dried shrimp down and stir-frys, adds some five-spice powder, salt, soy sauce, and finally adds peanut crushed grains when the shrimp is almost ripe, and the peanut crushed peanuts can absorb the water flowing out of the dried shrimp, so that the dried shrimp can keep a dry bath, so that the water will not overflow when wrapped in the zongzi. Once the dried shrimp is cooked, it is placed on a plate.

The mung bean paste was made yesterday, and now you can start the zongzi as long as the pork belly is marinated and the glutinous rice is soaked. After an hour or so, the pork belly was marinated, and the glutinous rice could also be wrapped in zongzi, and the Yang family and Aunt Li also came over to help make zongzi. Several people were busy until the afternoon to wrap the two pots of zongzi and cook them. After the zongzi were cooked, Grandpa and Uncle Li rented Uncle Wednesday's oxcart and sent more than 80 zongzi to Uncle He in the town to give them.

Uncle He and the others went to Tongzi Town this time, plus Uncle He and Yu Haochen, there were a total of eighteen of them. These more than 80 rice dumplings are enough for them, and each person can eat three or four. They are all a group of young and strong men, one person can eat at least three or four, and Yang Yunbao's zongzi is not particularly large, just a moderate amount.

"Little Master Haochen, come and try it, this is the zongzi sent by Xiao Yun's family, Xiao Yun took the talk that we passed on the road during the Dragon Boat Festival, and we didn't eat the zongzi, so the girl made some zongzi for us to taste, come and eat it or it's hot, it must have just come out of the pot, and they sent it."

Uncle He was polite to his grandfather and them, and then accepted the zongzi, and then sent Uncle Li away. After Uncle He sent Uncle Li and them, he turned around and asked Yu Haochen to come and taste the zongzi, and the other dart masters in the inn had already taken the zongzi and ate it.
