Chapter 33 Wild Vegetables on the Dinner Table
Looking at the verdant dandelions, Tian Qingqing suddenly had an idea: now is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, and all kinds of vegetables have not been planted yet. Then transplant more dandelions in the space and make it a staple dish in the home. Anyway, now there are wild ones everywhere outside, and when my parents asked, they said they were digging outside.
Tian Qingqing was so happy that she hurriedly washed the selected dandelions with tap water, put them outside, and used a basin to draw a basin of water there, and poured it into the pot to make breakfast.
Tian Qingqing planned to boil the water in the pot, blanch the dandelions first, and then stir the grits to make sticky porridge. After all the grits float, put on the cut and washed carrots, heat the vegetable wotou that was steamed last night, and then boil it for a while over low heat, and the rice is cooked. It's easy to eat and easy to eat
When the meal was halfway through, Tian Miaomiao woke up, crying and screaming for her mother, eating doudou (milk). Tian Qingqing hurriedly put on her small clothes and hugged her in the house. But no matter how much she coaxed, she couldn't resist her hunger, and Tian Miaomiao still cried and screamed.
Tian Qingqing knew that she was hungry, so she rummaged through the drawer on the table facing the door, but there was not a single candy, let alone a biscuit or something. I have to tell my mother to buy some biscuits, cakes, etc., for Xiao Miaomiao, in case she is hungry.
Then I want to grow some fast-growing crops in the space that can be eaten directly, such as tomatoes, cucumbers and other vegetables, and when Tian Miaomiao is hungry, you can give it to her.
I want to think about it, but far water can't quench my thirst, and Xiao Miaomiao still cries non-stop.
Except for the cornmeal sticky porridge that has not yet been cooked, and the cornmeal vegetables that are still hot in the pot, there is really nothing for children to eat.
Go to find her mother, Hao Lanxin?
Here is seven or eight hundred meters away from the family's house, Tian Qingqing can't walk with her in her arms, not to mention, the pot at home is still cooking, although Tian Youqiu and Tian Youchun were woken up by Tian Miaomiao, but they still lie in the quilt and refuse to get up. There are simply no people here.
What to do?
In desperation, Tian Qingqing thought of the tap water in the space. I drank it myself last night, and it was crisp and sweet. Why don't you let Xiao Miaomiao drink a little, maybe it can solve the urgent need.
However, as soon as Tian Miaomiao cried like this, Tian Youqiu and Tian Youchun were also woken up. How do you get into the space in front of them?
Tian Miaomiao cried and stuck to Tian Qingqing's body and refused to come down. Tian Qingqing had no choice but to hug her and come to the door of the courtyard house. She wanted to see if she could get into the space even outside. I've been in and out of the house last night.
Seeing that there was no one around, Tian Qingqing touched the ring on his left hand with his right hand, imagining the scene in the space in his heart, and with a move of his mind, the two sisters entered the space together.
Now that you're in, what about going out? Tian Qingqing touched the ring again, and with a movement of their minds, they returned to the door of the courtyard house.
The space is accessible from the outside!
Tian Qingqing walked two more places, touched the ring, and immediately went in as soon as his mind moved. It was still that place when it came out.
It turned out to be a portable space, where people go, where they take it, and when they come out and go in, it is still in that position.
Wow!
Take the space with you!!
Tian Qingqing thought happily.
In and out like this, Tian Miaomiao probably felt fresh and stopped crying. Just looked at this qiē in a daze.
Thinking that there was no household food in it, Tian Qingqing took a bowl and came to the space again. took half a bowl of tap water and fed it to Tian Miaomiao.
Tian Miaomiao became excited when she saw the bowl, and she didn't care what was inside, she pulled the edge of the bowl and drank it. Half a bowl of water was actually let her drink more than half of it.
Maybe it's thirst, maybe it's the space water that can temporarily quench hunger, Tian Miaomiao, who drank the water, "let's chirp" and "ba" small mouth, with tears full of eyes, smiled at Tian Qingqing.
Tian Qingqing's heart was sour, she picked up Tian Miaomiao and walked out of the space.
At this time, Tian Youqiu and Tian Youchun were still teasing in the bed, you hit me, I stabbed you with a finger, and I was very happy.
Tian Qingqing hugged Tian Miaomiao, added a few more zha to the stove, let the fire burn slowly, and then returned to the house and shouted to the two brothers on the bed: "You two lazy pigs, get up quickly, the sun is shining on your buttocks." ”
Tian Qingqing decided to train her brother Tian Youqiu from today. Let him change the bad habits of just saying but not doing.
"What are you yelling about? It's early in the morning, I'm still sleepy. Tian Youqiu muttered angrily, turned over and pretended to fall asleep.
"Brother, didn't you say you were going to break branches? The branches are brittle in the morning, easy to fold, get up and fold them quickly? Tian Qingqing urged again.
Tian Youqiu: "Don't shout, you're sleepy, let's talk about it after eating." ”
Tian Qingqing: "After eating, the children came to play with you, and there was no time to fold." After two days, there was no burning in the house. ”
Tian Youqiu: "Didn't our dad go to shave red thorns?" ”
Tian Qingqing: "The freshly shaved red thorns are so wet, no matter how small the splitting is, it will have to be dried for several days." If you take the branches back, you can mix them with zha seeds. ”
"Our mother hasn't spoken yet, what are you anxious about, you're about to become a little housekeeper!" Tian Youqiu sat up angrily, looking like he was about to quarrel.
Tian Qingqing: "Who wants to care about you?!" You said it yourself. People should count when they speak, don't be giants who talk and dwarfs who move. ”
Tian Youqiu: "Don't say these big words, okay?!" You have the ability to feed me. Tian Youqiu said, knelt up from the bed, patted his deflated stomach and said, "I'm hungry here, how can I have the strength to go up the tree?" ”
Tian Qingqing was speechless.
The current standard of living is not even enough for food and clothing. Although mixed with bran vegetables can fill the stomach, without oil and water, it is digested without much effort, in fact, I am still hungry for half of the field.
Isn't it cruel to let a hungry child go up a tree and break branches?
Tian Qingqing shook his head in his heart and terminated his plan.
The first time he trained Tian Youqiu, it ended in failure.
Without Tian Qingqing's supervision, the little brothers stayed in bed until Tian Dalin and Hao Lanxin came back, and then put on their clothes and went to the ground to eat.
That morning, Tian Dalin cut two big red thorns. The above-ground part is rounded, and there is a very thick root underneath. There are already tender red wattle buds emerging from the pimple. The bumps on the ground are damp, let alone the underground.
Tian Qingqing touched it, and said in her heart: "It's so hard, it really takes a lot of effort to split." It's not a matter of three or five days to dry it. No wonder people can pick up a dried blade of hay and not planch it! ”
"Dad, how do you split this?" Tian Qingqing pointed to the red thorn and asked. The third life is a human being, and she has really never seen a red thorn.
"Use a large chisel of wood (a labor tool called a "adze"). I'll borrow one later. Tian Dalin said.
The dining table was still on the bed outside. The four children were on the bed, some were sitting around the table, some were kneeling, and Xiao Miaomiao gave her special treatment, so that she sat on a small bench, and Hao Lanxin fed her porridge.
"What kind of dish is this, so delicious." Tian Dalin took a bite of the cold salad on the table, chirped, and said.
"Po Po Ding (another name for dandelion by the locals)." Tian Qingqing said.
"Mother-in-law? The one you chose last night? Tian Dalin felt strange: "Your fifth grandmother said that your mother-in-law can eat it, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious!" ”
"Dad, if you think it's delicious, I'll make it for you every day, and there are more on the edge of the yard." Tian Qingqing said with a smile.
