Chapter 013 Chognagi

After discussing how to deal with it, the three of them quickly returned home. As soon as he approached the gate of Luo's house, he saw the two brothers Luo Wencai and Luo Wenjun running back from the village, and they were very curious when they saw that Luo Wenxuan and the three of them were carrying things.

"Wenxuan, let's take a look at what you are taking." As he spoke, he was about to pull Luo Wensheng's basket, but Luo Ran blocked it with his hand.

"Brother Wencai, Wenjun, we dug up wild vegetables and pulled a handful of mugwort leaves, what's the matter? Do you want to eat? Luo Ran took Luo Wensheng's basket and carried two by himself. Fortunately, the two baskets are not big or heavy, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to lift them.

"Whoever wants to eat your broken wild vegetables and mugwort leaves, we will see what you have in your basket." Luo Wencai tilted his head and squinted his eyes at Luo Ran.

"Wencai, what are you doing when we go digging wild vegetables? Now don't get out of the way, let the grandparents know, see who to scold? Luo Wenxuan said unhurriedly.

"No one will scold us."

"Brother Wen Cai, Brother Wen Jun, I saw someone eating red-skinned eggs in the woods yesterday, roasting and eating, and smelling it from afar." Luo Wensheng couldn't help but say at this time.

"Wensheng, you make it clear, when did you see me eating, you dare to talk nonsense." Luo Wencai was annoyed and angry, and said that he was about to pull Luo Wensheng, but was stopped by Luo Wenxuan.

"Not only Wensheng can see it clearly, but I can also see it clearly, and there are several strong sons in the village. Do you want to ask the milk? "Luo Wenxuan: This is a naked threat.

"Brother Wencai, do you want to fight? See clearly, the two of you, the three of us. Luo Ran completely let Luo Wencai recognize the current situation.

"You--we'll see, you'd better not be left alone. Wenjun, go. Luo Wencai said, and the one who grabbed Wen Jun walked away.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, there was no danger. If the basket is opened, or if there is a fight, the duck eggs and the birds' eggs will definitely be exposed. It's really strange to be so frightened for a few duck eggs.

Finally, the three of them arrived safely in the West Courtyard. At this time, there was no one in the west room, so Luo Ran hurriedly went into the house to find an empty basket and put the duck eggs in it, put the bird eggs in the bowl, and took out a few herbs to dry. The three of them were relieved when they finished this.

The rest was all wild vegetables, and it was still very fresh, so I carried the basket to the kitchen. At this time, Zheng himself was having dinner in the kitchen.

"Mother, we dug up a lot of wild vegetables, and my mother will make wild vegetable dumplings in a while." Luo Wensheng came in and wanted Zheng to be coquettish. Zheng couldn't help but laugh when he looked at his little son's coquettish appearance; "Okay, okay, I'll make wild vegetable dumplings in a while."

Wen Xuan ran to the stove to light the fire, and Luo Ran and Wen Sheng sat next to them picking wild vegetables. There are a lot of wild vegetables dug up this time, and there are many types. There are sheep's feet, foraging vegetables, camellia and so on. Whether it is steamed or fried, it is very suitable for making soup, and it is delicious and delicious.

Luo Ran and Wen Sheng picked the wild vegetables and washed them twice in the pot they used on the pot. Zheng directly cut off the wild vegetables with his hands, which are basically one to two inches long, so that it is easy to form a ball. If it's too long, it's hard to separate; If it's too short, Tuantuan Zi needs too much noodles, which is too expensive in the words of the Zhuang family. Here, white flour is considered a relatively expensive thing. Generally, they are reluctant to eat white noodles directly.

Freshly washed wild vegetables also have water beads, not to mention that the vegetables themselves contain water. Zheng put two handfuls of flour in the dish, and put some seasonings such as salt and oil, and stirred vigorously with chopsticks. The flour gives the wild plants a stickiness between them, so that they stick together. Then I saw Zheng pull out a ball of wild vegetables with his hands, and then knead it back and forth with both hands, and a vegetable dumpling appeared.

After a while, one by one, the vegetable dumplings were neatly placed on the basket. (The basket refers to the ancient steaming drawer, which serves the same purpose as the steaming drawer of today's steaming things.) Under the stove, Luo Wenxuan increased the heat to burn the pot. When the water in the cauldron was boiling, Zheng also filled the dough with a basket of vegetable dumplings, which were green and oily, and they were very good-looking. Cover the pot and keep the boiling steam inside the pot. After a while, water vapor rose around the lid. At this time, Luo Wenxuan began to gradually slow down the speed of adding firewood, weaken the fire and change to a low heat, as long as the water in the pot was kept boiling.

The Zheng family was not idle here, and began to make soup. This time, I made vermicelli tofu. Ancient vermicelli was real vermicelli, made from sweet potatoes. Unlike modern times, many of them are replaced by others, and various "unexpected" ingredients are added.

There are also a lot of bean sprouts in the soup, and the bean sprouts are made by Zheng himself from last year's beans. Plump soybeans can grow shoots after soaking in water for about a few days, and after a few days, they can grow snow-white, half-finger-long roots, at which time the roots absorb a lot of water. Therefore, under normal circumstances, a pound of soybeans can make several pounds of bean sprouts. Many women in the village will post this, but they just look good or bad. Zheng's is the best bean sprout in the village, and the same beans are many and neat and beautiful. This bean sprout is best eaten stir-fried, or boiled and cold dressed, and it is usually used to make soup.

There are actually two kinds of bean sprouts, one is this kind of soybean sprouts, which are made from soybeans; The other is mung bean sprouts, which are made from mung beans. Luo Ran remembered that when he was in college in modern times, the dish that often appeared in the cafeteria was fried bean sprouts, whether it was soybean sprouts or mung bean sprouts. When I was cooking in the cafeteria, I often heard people say, "Master, help me get a soybean sprout", "Master, help me have a small bean sprout". (Soybean sprouts are, of course, soybean sprouts, and small bean sprouts are mung bean sprouts.) ）

At one point, it was particularly funny. Classes are going to be in half an hour, and there are no more people left in the cafeteria. A male student carries a women's bag on his shoulder, holds a book in one hand, and a cutlery in the other, followed by a girl holding cutlery, who seems to be her girlfriend. The boy said, "Master, I want a soybean sprout." ”

"Soybean sprouts? There are not enough soybean sprouts, can I add some baby bean sprouts to you? The master did not wait for the student to answer, and as he spoke, he scooped half a spoonful of small bean sprouts with a large spoon.

"Okay, okay. I'll just marry Big Joe and marry Little Joe, and I'll earn it. The student said when he saw the plate full of large and small bean sprouts.

"With your virtue, you still want to marry Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, I think you can only marry bean sprouts." When the girl heard the boy say this, she immediately glared at the boy, and then said to the master, "Master, I want a mapo tofu." ”

"You don't like to eat small bean sprouts the most, why don't you eat tofu again." The boy was puzzled.

"My favorite thing to eat is tofu right now." The girl's answer made the boy say in his heart, women are really fickle, and the ancients did not deceive me.

Seeing the boy's expression, the girl said bluntly: "What? I can eat your bean sprouts, but don't I be allowed to eat your tofu? ”

"Yes, you can eat my tofu as you like." The boy said with a hippie smile.

The boy's words drew a laugh from the chef, and the girl became shy, took the plate with tofu and walked over to the table, ignoring the boy. The boy also quickly chased after him with a plate.
