Chapter 163: Into the Mountains and Wild Vegetables
Ordinary people go up to the mountains to work, and at noon they eat dry food and pickles.
I got up early and worked at home for a long time, and I brought some steamed buns, but it was a little cold.
Fortunately, this ginseng garden is now contracted by the Han family, and they have a house to make their own fire, so the Liu family came back a little earlier, burned oil cakes and steamed buns, and went into the forest to pick up some wild vegetables, and added eggs to make a soup.
After a morning of work, the hungry children ran back, smelling the aroma of oil cakes and vegetable soup, and they all scratched their ears and cheeks anxiously.
When Liu saw it, he hurriedly packed up the meal, and it happened that Old Man Han and others also came back.
Everyone washed their hands, served a bowl of soup, or took a cake, or a steamed bun, and casually sandwiched some pickles.
You don't need any chairs or stools, just find a wooden pier or stone to sit on and eat.
"The soup is so delicious, auntie, another bowl." The children's hungry eyes are green, and they are called fast to eat, and they will drink a bowl of soup in a few sips, and hurry up to serve it again.
While serving it, he said, "Auntie, what kind of soup is this?" It's delicious. Today's scallion pancakes are also delicious, so fragrant. ”
Liu Shi laughed when he heard it, "You're hungry, where is the smell of rice?" If you are at home and make soup with wild vegetables, you will not be happy to drink it. ”
The Han family has a good life, these children have not suffered much, and they are somewhat picky about what they eat.
Every year at the beginning of spring, every household eats wild vegetables, and these children of the Han family get tired of eating for a few days, shouting to eat grass all day long.
If they weren't hungry today, they wouldn't have said that the wild vegetable soup was delicious.
Han Zhenhui and others were exposed by the eldest uncle, and they were all very embarrassed, so they munched on steamed buns and drank soup.
Over there, the three sisters Zhou Lili gathered together and muttered, "After lunch, let's go to the forest to get some vegetables."
I see that the eldest aunt and mother did not go into the forest for a long time before they picked up a lot, at this time there was no food to eat at home, all day long either pickles or dried vegetables, let's go back to eat, it is always fresh. Zhou Lili proposed.
"Okay, let's eat quickly." Girls and boys are different after all, boys are worried about playing, and girls are worried about living.
After the three sisters discussed, they reached an agreement, so they all quickly finished their meal, put away the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the pot.
"Mom, aunt, we want to go into the forest to get some vegetables, it's just noon, we'll be back in a while." Zhou Lili said to Han Caiying and Liu.
At this time, it was not only that the Zhou family had no vegetables to eat, but every household was like that, gnawing on pickles for so long, and they liked the fresh side dishes very much.
Han Caiying and Liu laughed when they heard it, "Wait a while, let's clean up and go into the forest together, pick up some more big-leaf celery, and go home to eat cabbage buns." ”
Housewives are like that, they have to think about what to eat for their next meal whenever and wherever they want.
At this time, everyone finished eating, and Sister Zhou Lili cleaned up the kitchen very quickly, and then followed Han Caiying and others into the forest together.
Zhou Tiantian has never seen any wild vegetables, even her mother-in-law Ding and shepherd's cabbage are only known in the vegetable garden at home.
She was very curious about what her mother and aunt said about Da Yeqin, so she turned into a little tail and followed her mother and sister into the forest together.
The boys love to play, and as soon as they heard about the vegetables in the mountains, they also came to the spirit one by one, and they had to follow.
Wouldn't it be nice if they were not here for the wild vegetables, they just wanted to go wild in the woods, and maybe meet some pheasant or hare or something.
In this way, a group of people entered the forest, and Chang Yanzhe was still by Zhou Tiantian's side, very close to her.
This baby entered the mountain in an accident last year, and Chang Yanzhe was very worried about what would happen to him this time, so he kept it every step of the way.
In these years, the forest environment has not been seriously damaged, especially when it is far away from people, the vegetation in the mountains has not been damaged, and the natural resources are still abundant.
At this season, the trees are just sprouting, and the grass on the ground is growing wildly, and clusters of fresh green bloom with the occasional yellow, purple, and white flowers, swaying in the breeze in the spring style.
Han Caiying and others all recognized wild vegetables, and squatted down to pick vegetables when they entered the forest.
Zhou Tiantian didn't understand anything, the grass on the ground was the same in her eyes, she was just confused.
"Brother Yanzhe, do you recognize wild vegetables? I don't know, I don't know which one is. ”
Zhou Tiantian thought that her mother and aunts were hurrying up to pick vegetables, and it was difficult to go over and inquire, so she asked Chang Yanzhe in a low voice.
Chang Yanzhe glanced at Zhou Tiantian, and couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, this girl, obviously she doesn't understand anything, so she has to come to join in the fun.
"Come, I'll tell you." Chang Yanzhe pulled Zhou Tiantian, took a few steps forward, squatted in front of a clump of grass, and pointed.
"This is the big leaf celery, you see this leaf is a bit special, three leaves are one big and two small together, it is easy to distinguish.
Look at the back again, it's very shiny, no hair, this is the big leaf celery. ”
Chang Yanzhe picked up the wild vegetables, knocked off the soil and grass blades, and then picked out other grasses and handed them to Zhou Tiantian, so that she could distinguish them carefully.
"No, look at this again, doesn't it look similar? But this leaf and stem have hairs, the back is not shiny, and yellow juice will emerge from the truncated surface, this is fake, and everyone is also called a disguise. ”
Chang Yanzhe often goes into the mountains, and he recognizes the wild vegetables and medicinal materials in the mountains, so he told Zhou Tiantian how to identify wild vegetables.
"Come, come and see this again, this is called millet seeds, pick it and go home and blanch it with water, it is very good to eat with dipping sauce, a little sweet."
Chang Yanzhe pointed to a plant that looked a bit like lily of the valley and told Zhou Tiantian that it was called mountain millet.
"The stalk has hairs on the leaves, and some have a small flower spike in front of them, and the leaves are alternate.
If you see that the stalk is smooth and hairless, the leaves are not raw.
In fact, there are many kinds of wild vegetables, which ones can be eaten and which ones cannot be eaten, and there is a lot of knowledge. You'll just learn how to recognize parsley first. ”
Chang Yanzhe saw that Zhou Tiantian was still confused, so he couldn't help laughing, reached out and rubbed the top of Zhou Tiantian's head, pulled her two steps forward, and continued to teach her how to identify.
Fortunately, Zhou Tiantian is still full of wisdom, and after Chang Yanzhe led her to pick up a few bushes of wild vegetables, she probably mastered the trick.
"Brother Yanzhe, I understand, thank you, you know so much." This is the truth, in Zhou Tiantian's heart, Chang Yanzhe is powerful at everything.
Zhou Tiantian knew which kind of wild vegetables could be eaten, so he lowered his head and looked for himself.
Not to mention, there are really a lot of wild vegetables in this forest, one by one, one by one, almost without how to go forward, you can pick up a lot in a while.
Zhou Tiantian's hand is small, and she won't be able to hold it for a while.
When he came out, he didn't take a basket or anything like that, there was no rut, Zhou Tiantian had to look up, trying to find a sturdy grass or some kind of bark or something like that, and bundle up the wild vegetables.
I was looking for it, and suddenly I found that there seemed to be something in the grass in front of me, "Brother Yanzhe, look, what is that?" ”
