Chapter 254: It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice
The eldest girl hurriedly grabbed her hand off, "Little sister, your hands are full of mud." ”
As she spoke, she took out a cloth towel to wipe her, but Han Chuxue shook her hand indifferently, "Sister is fine, kudzu is not eaten like sweet potatoes, let's dig some back, I'll teach you to get it, it's absolutely delicious." ”
As soon as they heard the deliciousness, the two little cute babies who were originally playing with Huang Shijie on the side also ran over, "Sister Erya, what's delicious?" ”
Han Chuxue lifted the kudzu root and shook it, "That's it, you help my sister dig some back, and my sister will make something delicious for you to eat." ”
The two little cute babies suddenly nodded with bright eyes, "Okay, let's help Sister Er dig it." ”
Saying that, the two really pouted their little buttocks and dug up, the eldest girl saw this, she was very helpless, so she had to squat down to help dig, Huang Shijie, who followed the two little babies over, saw it, smiled good-naturedly, and also squatted down to help.
grabbed several strong men at once, and Han Chuxue was satisfied with it.
Erniu squatted beside her in disbelief and asked, "Erya, can this kudzu really be cooked deliciously?" ”
Han Chuxue nodded affirmatively, "Of course, I ate it when I traveled with my master, but I haven't seen what its vine looks like, so I really didn't recognize it at first, and I heard my sister say that Gegen only then remembered." ”
Her explanation is reasonable, she grew up in the nunnery since she was a child, and no one in Xiatang Village doesn't know about it, so when she said this, everyone believed it.
Now every household doesn't have much food, this kudzu is said to be not delicious, but when there is really no food, there are still people who will come to dig it back as food, like Han Yuhai and the two little dolls are generally reluctant to let them suffer this sin, but the older babies have eaten. So this thing is not poisonous, everyone present knows it, and now that I heard that it can be cooked deliciously, the other girls can't help but be tempted.
Vanilla walked over and asked tentatively, "Erya, how do you cook this kudzu to make it delicious?" ”
Han Chuxue didn't want to hide his secrets, and immediately responded. "Sister Vanilla. This kudzu is not actually used for boiling, its best use is to make soup, with large meat and bones boiled together for two hours. The soup is very sweet and can clear heat and dampness, it is the most suitable to drink in this weather, and it can also be cut into books to cook sugar water, and it can be moisturized in autumn......"
Han Chuxue simply told him all the ways to eat kudzu. But Vanilla and the others, who were still interested, shook their heads with a wry smile when they listened to it. He went back to his place and cut the kudzu vine.
Han Chuxue looked at her sister with some puzzlement, is there anything wrong with what she said?
The eldest girl sighed with a wry smile, "It turns out that this kudzu root is going to be eaten like this, no wonder no one in the village knows about it." Who can afford it? ”
Han Chuxue's heart trembled, and she understood.
Meat, bones, and sugar are things that every household can afford in modern times. But in the countryside of the Dachang Dynasty, which was so hard to breathe that it was pitted by the poll tax, it was a luxury that could only be seen from afar.
Don't talk about making soup on a regular basis. Even during the New Year's holidays, there are few families who can afford to eat meat, and who is willing to spend money to buy bones to make a pot of soup that does not top the stomach.
In the face of hunger, who cares whether it is delicious or not, whether it is nutritious or not, the most important thing is to be able to eat it.
Han Chuxue was silent, feeling guilty for his previous thoughts, not that the villagers didn't know how to eat, but that it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
"Sister, let's dig more and go back, please drink together."
The eldest girl smiled and nodded, if it was the previous Han family, the eldest girl would definitely give up this kudzu after listening to Han Chuxue's words, but the current Han family really does not lack this meat and bones, Uncle Jun will fight a wild boar every few days to go back, the meat is eaten, the ribs are eaten, and the remaining big bones are not only for the eldest aunt to take some back, but also a lot of their own home, now it is appropriate to use this kudzu to make soup, as for other ways to eat, the current Han family is not short of those seasonings, but can make everyone have multiple dishes, how to calculate this kudzu root digging more back is very cost-effective.
So the big girl, who was not very active at all, buried her head in digging and put aside today's original task of cutting kudzu vines.
It's not that the big girl is greedy, but the kudzu vine is cut back, in previous years, in addition to feeding the chickens with leaves, it was to weave kudzu cloth to make clothes, and now everyone in the Han family has made new clothes and clothes to wear, but they are a little nervous about eating.
You must know that the Han family has eight long-term workers and Aunt Qin, eternal daughter-in-law, and twelve uncles and nephews of the Huang family, plus the two Dunzi brothers and Han Yuhai's two little babies, and later Luo Anyang and Zeng Jingxuan's two and a half children, plus the Han family's own family of six, this is a full of more than 20 people to eat, and the Han family has no food and no vegetables, which are all to be purchased, how much does it cost, every time as long as it is calculated, the big girl and the little heart have to tremble, and now there can be a dish that does not cost money, How can she let it go, even if she wears two less clothes, she has to bring this dish home.
So when Luo Anyang and his party returned from hunting, they saw that the basket that was supposed to be full of kudzu vines actually filled with two baskets of kudzu.
Erzhu was dumbfounded on the spot, "Second sister, what are you doing digging up such kudzu, this thing is not delicious." ”
Dazhu was also full of wondering, it would not be strange to say that there was no food at home before, but now that there is no shortage of food at home, why is the second sister still digging such unpalatable kudzu.
There was no need for the eldest girl to answer, Han Chuxue stood up by herself, "Second brother, you couldn't eat it before, this kudzu root is actually very useful, and it tastes very good." ”
If others said that Erzhu would definitely not believe it, but it was the little sister who had always been omnipotent who said this, he immediately believed it, and suddenly asked with bright eyes, "Little sister, what you said is true?" ”
Han Chuxue snorted proudly, "Of course, when I go back, I'll make a meal for you to taste." ”
"That's good." Erzhu immediately approached her with a flattering smile, "Little sister, this is a wild egg that the third brother specially found for you, you look big." ”
Looking at the big "wild egg" in the early snow, I deeply doubted, shouldn't this be a wild duck egg?
Of course, no matter what kind of eggs they are, they are ownerless wild eggs anyway, so they will eat them for lunch today, in addition to Erzhu took out two nests of wild eggs and came back, they also beat four pheasants, a wild duck, a pair of hares, and a pair of wild pigeons.
There is no water source nearby, and the rabbit is not easy to deal with, so I put it in the back basket and prepare to take it home to Aunt Qin and them to add vegetables.
In addition to the two nests of eggs, the last group of people ate at noon, which was a few pheasants, plus vanilla, they had already thought of having lunch in Yuanbao Mountain when they came, and they had prepared their own dry food, and Dazhu and their Xiuniang had already prepared it, so this lunch was really full of food, meat and eggs, and it was very hearty, and a group of people ate with round bellies.
