Chapter 158: The Villagers of Siliu Village (9)
Yuan Ting agreed very happily, after all, after eating the flour given by Qi Ke, he could still pass on a word, and as for who would fall into the hands of this big Zhuangzi in the end, he also waited to see.
"Alright, the crying inside is quiet, let's go inside."
Qi Ke rubbed the head of the wolf king, still leaving it outside, she and Yuan Ting returned to the courtyard, and the women and children who had cried before had already wiped away their tears and were back to work.
Yuan Ting continued to tidy up the firewood, Qi Ke stood by the stove and watched the women cook the mixed soup of sea shellfish, all kinds of large and small pots of shellfish were poured into the cauldron together, and the washed wild vegetables were also put aside, and they could be eaten as soon as they were scalded, Qi Ke saw the rhizome plants with small pieces, and asked the child on the side curiously what it was called.
The child's local dialect sounded more difficult to understand, or the woman who burned the fire made it clear, that thing is also a kind of wild vegetable in their place, there is no big name, it is called pig digging roots, it is said that the wild boar is dug out to eat so that the local people know, at first it was also picked to feed the family's livestock, and later people also picked to eat, boiled a good time, and full, every time there is a shortage of food they go up the mountain to find this.
Qi Ke was very interested in this pig planing roots, so the women gave her a whole, and with mud, but the leaves on it were removed, and they especially told them to wash it when they wanted to eat it, and cook it on the same day after washing, and it would be bad the next day, and it would grow poisonous buds, and it would kill people if they ate it.
This rhizome is as long as a forearm, as thick as a beet, and the earthy yellow skin feels a bit like a yam, very rough and prickly, and the amount is real, the villagers all eat wild, and they all know that they will grow buds, but no one seems to have thought of further artificial planting, could it be that this plant is special in planting, Qi Ke decided to take it to the spiritual realm for interviews and planting.
Seeing that the seashell soup on the stove was cooked, Qi Ke washed his hands and took a big bowl to teach them how to make noodle gnocchi soup, or the practice of Northeast noodles, add some water to the flour and adjust it into a flocculent shape and put it into the soup pot, this is the fastest way to eat, just have a pot of boiling water, but in fact, the name of this method is pimple soup, and the noodle soup still has to pull the dough sheets.
The gnocchi soup was boiled several times, and the washed wild vegetables and pork roots were originally used as staple foods, but tonight they became the side dishes of the gnocchi soup, and the big spoon was pressed to the bottom of the pot, and the seashells that had been boiled were scooped up and served, and the bowls were served out, and soon the courtyard was only left with the sound of eating.
Qi Ke was no longer here at this time, and after the first bowl of noodle soup was served, she said goodbye to everyone with the pig planing roots, and made an appointment to meet tomorrow morning and went back to Zhuangzi.
In Yuan Ting's courtyard, after everyone had a full meal, when washing dishes and washing pots, Yuan Ting relayed some of what Qi Ke told him to the women and children, so that they all had a good idea of how to deal with it if the county sent someone to rob Zhuangzi.
The women and children had a good impression of Qi Ke, and figured out that the Shen family in the county that occupied Zhuangzi before was not a real landlord at all, but wanted to rob it openly, and immediately listened to Yuan Ting, saying that they would help Qi Ke speak when the time came.
"The Shen family is not a good thing, this time it's good to fix them."
"The army has just finished fighting? I didn't have to rest for a while. ”
"I really don't dare to speak when I encounter this kind of soldier."
"The imperial court is sick, let the army of the north come to the south to fight a naval battle, will they be able to swim?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to hold the boat."
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die if I go to sea like this."
"Good army, the court doesn't want it."
"There's no way, our original border army is useless."
Listening to the gossip of the women and children, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, although these women will be a little afraid of the soldiers who are covered in this kind of blood, but once they have the opportunity, they will also let people know how powerful their mouths are.
