Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Gift
Soon, a whole row of celery was shoveled up by Father Qin with a nail rake from the root of the celery with the roots and soil, and then straightened it and put it on the ground, and the big guys all gathered around to look at it, even if the celery wrapped in wet mud was still not visible at all.

In his heart, a stone had fallen to the ground, swaying, and he almost sat in the mud.
I took a long breath in my heart, and the hard work of more than a month was finally not in vain, and I was relieved, and suddenly I felt that the sky was high and the earth was wide, and I couldn't say the satisfaction in my heart.
But Father Qin, who had been staring at the celery under his feet, looked more and more dignified, and after all the celery was shoveled, he put down the nail rake in his hand, collected all the five handfuls of celery in his hand, and walked directly to the water pipe.
The mud wrapped in the celery was rinsed off little by little with the gurgling mountain spring water, and the white celery with green and yellow leaves and goose-yellow buds quickly appeared in front of the big guy.
Everyone was dumbfounded, the cloves who still disliked the muddy ground before were already stupid, what is this called, out of the mud and not stained? There was only one thought in my head that was rampage.
But the four cousins circled around the celery, pointing to the stems and leaves of the celery and shouting: "Why are there still white celery?" ā
Father Qin was also surprised.
From the very beginning, he felt that his two little granddaughters could really toss ideas and become famous, because he probably knew the cultivation skills of leeks.
Isolated from the light and cultivated in the soil, but never completely buried in the soil, it is similar to the method of making celery tossed by these two little things.
He was thinking, the reason why leeks turn yellow is because they don't see sunlight, so will they also grow yellow celery?
Of course, this was just a fantasy for him, but he didn't expect that the celery made by such a method was not the yellow-white of leeks, but the pure white of crystal jade.
In an instant, many thoughts formed in my heart, and I couldn't help squatting down and hugging the pepper bay leaves and laughing: "This is not the white that grows by myself, this is the pepper pepper bay leaf that we grow!" ā
Xiangye's eyes widened, and he stretched out his index finger and nodded the celery in his grandfather's hand, but asked in a small voice, "Then can you still eat this white celery?" As he spoke, he went to look at the pepper that had not made a sound, and saw that the pepper was also frowning slightly, and couldn't help but reach out and hug her.
When Father Qin heard this, he laughed even more: "You can eat it, of course you can eat it!" Maybe it's even better than celery! ā
Hearing that it could be eaten, Xiangye immediately put his mind at ease, smiled and squinted his eyes and nodded, and grinned with peppercorns: "Grandfather said that it is better than celery!" ā
Hua Jiao also hugged her and laughed, but her eyes were staring at the white celery, but she was still muttering in her heart.
She was a little dumbfounded.
But it was because it was too early to rejoice.
She likes to eat celery, and she has eaten celery for the time being. Of course, I know that the height of a single celery plant is at least 50 centimeters, that is, about one and a half feet. In addition, the edible young stem part is also very long and thick, and the petiole part is only the top of the tip, only about one-third of the whole celery.
But how can the celery you make yourself only be so big?
She estimated that the average height was only about a foot, and she estimated that it was only on the left, and she could not pass the right. As for the tender stem, it was also very short, and when I stretched out my little hand and made a gesture, it was only three inches long, and it was full of forked petioles and new stems.
And it's not as white as the white celery I saw in my previous life, and the stems are snow-white, so white that they are flawless. This time it will be washed and looked at again, there is no black and white comparison of the soil, and you can still see a faint yellow.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a malnourished and emaciated.
Sichuan pepper was slightly disappointed, more confused, and didn't know which step went wrong.
However, as the five elements of celery that she and Xiangye had pressed together were all taken out by Father Qin, rinsed and removed the old leaves, and put them in front of him, the peppercorns were already in a good mood.
Although he was barely half successful from his goal, his lame technique not only made Bai Qin look like a piece, but also the way of suppression was obviously on the right track, and the rest was to test and perfect step by step.
This is already an unexpected thought!
Quickly cheered up, Hua Jiao hugged Daddy Qin's thigh and was about to climb up, and said happily: "Grandfather, grandfather, I still want white celery!" ā
Sichuan pepper remembered that although white celery was a cold-season vegetable and was only supplied in winter, there was also a large amount of celery on the market in the early spring of her previous life, and she wanted to give it a try.
Father Qin smiled and hugged the round peppercorns in cotton clothes and cotton pants, and promised: "Okay!" Then he smiled and asked her, "Do you know how this celery is made?" ā
"Ugh!" When the pepper came to his mouth, he swallowed it again, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. And after such a moment of hesitation, a bunch of little boys and girls jumped up, pointing to themselves one by one: "I will, I will make celery." ā
Lilac, in particular, was eager to go to the creek to dig cress.
White celery! She's going to try it too!
was stopped by Father Qin with a smile: "It's too late today, let's stop tomorrow." ā
It was like frost, so I had to nod reluctantly.
It's just that when Daddy Qin said that he would eat white celery tonight, one by one, where could he still take care of the side, the previous depression was thrown to the sky in an instant, and he escorted the celery into the kitchen with high spirits, and he was reluctant to leave, and stuffed the kitchen that was not very spacious so that there was no place to turn around, and it was all driven out by dill.
The main dish of that night's dinner was a stir-fried white celery, and Mrs. Qin had never seen white celery, but she was an expert in cooking, so she folded a short section and tasted it, and made it directly as celery. Cut off, except for oil and salt, nothing was put in, just fried on high heat.
Sichuan pepper stood at the door of the kitchen and kept nodding, the original flavor of white celery was already eaten, and too much seasoning would not dominate the guests.
I just don't know what this original taste is.
Hua Jiao was a little apprehensive in his heart, and when the meal was served, Qin's father and Qin Laoniang urged everyone to eat it while it was hot, but they didn't expect to win unanimous praise from the family.
It is said that the taste is crisp and tender, refreshing, fragrant and slightly sweet, but it is full of color, fragrance, taste, and shape, and the vegetables can also be counted, and even the bay leaves that never eat onions, leeks, garlic and other peculiar vegetables can't help nodding.
The peppercorns, who had been secretly observing everyone's reactions, were even more hesitant. (To be continued.) )
