Chapter 149: Peace
At noon, except for Li Jun, the people who went to the shop to help came back to eat in ox carts, and the cave was full of people for a while.
The godmother happily rummaged through the washed mother-in-law in the basin and said: "Oh, this little wild vegetable has come out, look at how tender it is, or this mountain col is good, the wild vegetables are all out early, it seems that you can open up the wasteland and farm!" ”
The godfather also came to see the two pots of wild vegetables scalded and soaked in cold water, and the smile was also on his face. Knowing that Chen Jiacheng had followed Pei Yao up the mountain in the morning, he beckoned him to go up again for a walk and discuss the details of land reclamation.
Only the attentive Aunt Chen saw the difference between Chen Jiacheng and Pei Yao, and her son's face was empty-hearted, and she didn't even come to Pei Yao's side, but her eyes were still staring, this was obviously wrong! Who doesn't know that the two of them like to be tired of being together, and they haven't seen any communication between the two since they came back, they are all doing their own work, could it be that what happened to them together in the morning?
She pressed the doubts in her heart and didn't mention them, thinking about the opportunity to talk to her son.
Pei Yao's dishes have been cooked, and now the dry rice in the big iron pot has been on fire for a while, and it is almost time to get bored, Wu Man and Jiajia help set the food on the table, and there are only three dishes on the table, all of which are wild vegetables.
A raw mother-in-law, a pot of emerald green with water droplets, and two plates of boiled lettuce with dried water, both of which are dipped in pickles, and two plates of Korean-style spicy pickles, just like the Korean bellflower pickles, red, green and white are mixed together, and you will have a great appetite when you look at it!
When Father Wu and Chen Jiacheng came back from the mountain, washed their hands, sat at the table and began to eat vegetables, everyone carried a bowl of dry rice and stretched out to the wild vegetable plate that could only be eaten a few times a year
Jiajia saw the delicious food and shot very quickly, just in the blink of an eye, all three dishes were eaten, the last bite of the spicy root vegetable was in the stomach, and immediately took two mouthfuls of dry rice and sent it into the stomach, before pouring out of her mouth to speak: "Sister Yao, this mixed dish is very delicious, I didn't like to eat this garlic root vegetable like shallots and not shallots in the past, but let Sister Yao mix it like this, it is not the spicy taste of green onions but the spicy taste of chili peppers, and there is a little sweetness in the seasoning, which is better than spicy cabbage!" After speaking, I saw that the garlic root vegetables on the plate were already half down, and I quickly picked up the bowl and put a few chopsticks on the chopsticks to put it on the rice and put it in my mouth.
Pei Yao thought, it turns out that this place is called garlic root vegetables, but it's nothing, the regions are different, and the names of wild vegetables are not unusual, that is, the locals know what the name of the dish is, and there is no national unified name at all.
"If you like to eat, eat more, there is still something in the basin that has not been served, and you can't finish it." Pei Yao paused and continued: "This dish is easy to make, wash it and marinate it with salt for a while to remove the spicy taste, and then use the method I taught you to mix mountain carrots in winter." ”
The godmother also took a chopstick-headed mountain lettuce and dipped it in some sauce and put it in her mouth to eat, saying, "This, what is Xiao Yao's name?" Mountain lettuce, the mountain lettuce is delicious, it used to be the miscellaneous wild vegetables chopped up and boiled with porridge, the rice grains are few, all are thin vegetable soup, and it tastes astringent and bitter. But I've never dipped it in sauce like this, it's so refreshing and tender, and my teeth are just right! ”
Everyone also nodded, but they didn't eat any vegetables in the winter, although this year in Pei Yao's house is much better than in previous years, but who doesn't like to have more kinds of delicious food!
Even the little orchid baby smiled happily, a tender mountain lettuce was put in her mouth, six small teeth and gums could be ground and eaten, and she didn't eat less, she didn't even eat a few bites of rice, she loved this green dish, that lover's appearance, so that everyone watched her laugh while eating.
Pei Yao also thinks it's good, especially her mouthful of lettuce, as well as the emerald green tender mother-in-law, the trace of bitterness lingers in her mouth, and there is a sweet aftertaste under the tongue.
In this way, she and Chen Jiacheng were busy making two baskets of wild vegetables in the morning, and they were eaten up at lunch, and everyone was very satisfied.
But except for Duoduo, it ate the fried hare meat minced bibimbap that it ran to catch in the morning, and was picky about trying to separate the mother-in-law Ding Mo who was in the way!
Mother-in-law Ding was put by Pei Yao, she was afraid that she would get hot just by eating meat, and she was afraid that dogs would have fatty liver or something if they ate meat, so she whimsically cut a handful of mother-in-law Ding into foam and mixed it in. In this way, Duoduo bit and ate carefully, and did not pick out the leaves, smelling the meat, but eating was full of bitter leaves, and occasionally tasted meat foam inside
After eating, everyone rubbed their stomachs and immediately decided, except for the people who went to the shop to change shifts, the rest of the people all went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and implement the sweeping policy!
In order to quickly change Li Jun back for dinner, Chen Jiacheng and Pei Yao drove an ox cart to change him, and the silence and strange atmosphere between the two lingered again.
In the end, it was the Chen family who broke the silence between the two, waved his whip lightly, and said sideways: "Xiao Peiyao, what are you doing with these pieces of cloth, what do you want to sew, just talk to my mother and Jiajia, you don't have to make it yourself." ”
Pei Yao rolled her eyes in the back, didn't she just want to say that she had a broken hand and couldn't sew the fabric, but what he said was still euphemistic!
"I want to use these pieces of red cloth to cut out a signboard letter, and then paste it on a piece of oil cloth, and hang it on the wall of the door so that passers-by can know the name, instead of calling it the rattan furniture shop across the river town."
Chen Jiacheng also thought about this, so he asked: "Can't you go and set a wooden plaque as a signboard?" I see a lot of shops hanging that kind of plaque above the lintel. ”
Pei Yao shook her head, shook it halfway and remembered that he couldn't see it, so she said: "We make this by ourselves with more eye-catching, distinct colors, and the plaques are fixed on the top of the shop with a house. ”
Although the two of them didn't mention the morning's events, the atmosphere was always weird, that is, when they were talking about business, they seemed to have some unfinished words, and their tones were half short, as if they were running away from something.
Chen Jiacheng hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "Xiao Peiyao, it's me who is not good in the morning, don't be angry, if you think I'm Meng Lang, let's ask the matchmaker to make a marriage." After speaking, he grabbed the ox cart, turned around and looked at her seriously, if this matter is not solved, he will have trouble sleeping, how can he have the heart to talk about serious things!
"Okay!" Pei Yao simply nodded in agreement.
Chen Jiacheng was stunned, and half-paid turned around to drive the ox cart forward, and did not speak again all the way.
Let Pei Yao laugh like a little fox all the way behind the wonderful days of youth! (To be continued.) )
