Chapter 456: Wild Vegetable Dumplings (1)
There were more than 30 people Qingshu brought this time, and it would be very expensive to eat all the stored dried vegetables and rice, so she offered to dig wild vegetables.
Without waiting for Zhang to speak, Wei quickly responded: "Okay." Qingshu, if you are not familiar with the environment here, let Rutong take you there! ”
Qingshu shook his head and said, "No, I just came down the mountain and knew that there was a place where there were a lot of wild vegetables." ”
Rudie took Qingshu's arm and said, "Second sister, I'll go with you." ”
Rutong watched the group leave.
After the catastrophe, no one knew what the future would hold. So even if there is a lot of food stored at home, they will go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. But the adults have to go to work, and the digging of wild vegetables is left to the children.
Qingshu pointed to a wild vegetable on the ground, and said to Wu Yi'an: "This is a fungus vegetable, which can be eaten." ”
Rudie was a little surprised: "Second sister, how do you know that it can be eaten?" ”
In her previous life, she often dug wild vegetables in the mountains after disasters, and she knew very well what wild vegetables she could eat on the mountains: "I saw it in the book. ”
There is a lot of strength in numbers, and in less than an hour, four baskets of wild vegetables were picked.
Rudie said: "Second sister, you can't eat so much. The wild vegetable was very unpalatable the next day. ”
She couldn't eat it anyway. To be precise, she is not used to eating porridge with wild vegetables.
"Don't worry, you'll be done."
Halfway through, I came across a woman dressed in sackcloth. The woman had two children, one on her back and the other in her hand.
Rudie saw that her face was very ugly, and said angrily, "What are you going down the mountain?" It's not going to my house again, is it? ”
The woman accompanied the smiling face and said, "Third girl, Dongdong and Qinqin have been crying to see their father, and I have no choice but to take them down the mountain to find the master." ”
Qingshu knew the identities of the three as soon as he heard it. Looking at this woman carefully, her facial features are very ordinary, and her face may be a little sallow because she has not eaten well. But it's normal to think about it, if he looks outstanding, he won't follow his grandfather.
Rudie said with an unkind face: "I'll go back and tell my grandfather to let him go up the mountain to see you." ”
Seeing the woman's hesitation, Rudie said in a cold voice: "If you dare to go to my house, I will let my father drive you away." ”
The woman's face turned pale and she said, "Don't worry, girl, we will go back." ”
When the little girl heard that she was going back, she cried: "Mother, I don't want to eat wild vegetables, I want to eat meat." ”
Qingshu looked at Rudie and was about to get mad, took her hand and said, "My sister-in-law wants to eat meat, let her find her grandfather, why are you angry?" ”
The woman looked at Qingshu, who looked indifferent, and asked cautiously, "But the second girl?" ”
Nodding, Qingshu said, "If you want to eat meat or eggs, just find your grandfather." We're juniors, and we can't take care of these things. ”
After speaking, he pulled Rudie down the mountain.
Aunt Zhen watched the group go down the mountain, got up and picked up her daughter and went back to the wooden shed. Originally, I thought that if Qingshu sympathized with them, he could live back in the countryside. But this contact knows that Qingshu is a very cold person.
After walking for a long time, Rudie said angrily: "Qingshu, you don't know, every time they come, they make the chickens and dogs jump at home, and they are annoyed." ”
Qingshu smiled and said, "You bear with it a little longer, when the old house is repaired, my grandfather and second uncle will move away." ”
Rudie said sullenly: "I want to go back to the county seat." It is noisy and noisy here every day, and from time to time someone comes to borrow food, and it is annoying to death. ”
Qing Shu shook his head and said, "The people living in Peach Blossom Village are all clansmen, and it is safe to stay here." But when I returned to the county seat, it would be dangerous if I was remembered by those thieves. ”
"So, we won't be able to go back anytime soon."
Seeing Qingshu nodded, Rudie suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Ahem, I really don't like to live here." ”
Wu Yi'an looked at her like this, and couldn't help but say: "Do you know that many people outside can't eat, they can only eat wild vegetables, and you at least don't have to worry about food and clothing." ”
As soon as he heard this, Rudie exploded: "That's what they deserve." My father came back to tell them not to sell grain. But when they saw that the price of grain had risen, they sold all the grain in a hurry. ”
Qing Shu listened and hurriedly asked, "Is it that a small number of people do not listen to persuasion and sell food, or do all of them do this?" ”
Rudie saw Shu's eager appearance and said, "There are not many, just two." You don't know, these two families have borrowed the whole village. Others borrowed up to three or five catties, and came to my house to borrow thirty or forty catties of grain. My grandmother's family obviously stored food, but when she got the news, she came to borrow food, and was scolded by my father. ”
Saying that, Rudie said angrily: "My family has saved a lot of food, but I can't afford to eat so many people!" ”
Wu Yi'an thought he was talking about them, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, we will go to the county seat tomorrow to get some food." ”
Rudie rolled her eyes at her and said, "Do you know that now two taels of silver and a pound of rice." Our family eats at least ten catties of rice every day, which is equivalent to eating two taels of gold every day! ”
"Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you. As much grain as you eat, I will give you the money when the time comes. ”
Qingshu smiled: "You came to Taifeng County because you protected me, if you want to say so, I have to pay for the silver." ”
Rudie hurriedly said: "Second sister, I didn't ask her to pay, I just let her know that food is not easy to buy." ”
Soon, the group arrived at home.
Zhang said: "How do you pick so many wild vegetables? ”
Wei Shi said with a sour face: "Qingshu, your third uncle said that everyone should eat rice at night, and not mix wild vegetables in it." ”
These days when they come back, they have been porridge with wild vegetables every day. is so harsh on relatives, and generous to these outsiders.
Qingshu sighed and asked, "Third aunt, do you have flour at home?" I want to make wild vegetable dumplings. ”
Zhang took Qingshu to the room where the grain was stored, pointed to the bag that was stacked high in the house, and said, "Here is cornmeal, here is white flour, and here is rice." ”
As for salt, oil, soybeans and other things, they were all placed in the place where Lin Chengzhi and them slept.
After taking the white noodles, Zhang handed her the key and said, "You can take this key, and you can take it yourself if you want." ”
Wu Yi'an was a little surprised when he heard this.
Qingshu shook his head and said, "You can keep this key, what do I want with the third aunt." ”
Qingshu blanched the washed wild vegetables in boiling water, and then put them on the board to chop.
After chopping for a while, Qingshu said to Wu Yi'an on the side: "You come and chop, the more chopped the better." ”
Chop the wild vegetables and put them in the white noodles, add the finely chopped bacon and a little salt and stir vigorously, and then add cold boiled water to the mixed wild vegetable gnocchi.
Looking at the wild vegetable dumplings pinched out by Qingshu, he was stunned like a butterfly.
After half a ring, Rudie said with tears in her eyes: "Second sister, you have suffered. ”
Wu Yi'an: ......
Qingshu explained with a smile: "I have a good life in the capital. It's just that I like to make pastries and all kinds of pasta, so I learned from the cook. ”
"Didn't the woman abuse you?"
Wu Yi'an laughed: "Don't you know that Grandma Gu bought a house next to Wenhuatang for Qingshu?" On weekdays, Qingshu lives there and doesn't go back to Lin's house. ”
"Really?"
Qingshu smiled and said, "It's true." I also spend the New Year's holidays with my father, and I stay in my own house on weekdays. ”
Rudie was immediately relieved: "That's good, that's good." ”
