The hogweed doesn't have to be boiled for long, it doesn't take long to get better.

Scooping the boiled pigweed into the wooden barrel and letting it cool slowly, Xiao Qinghe picked up the folded ear root and carefully picked it clean, washed it twice with clean water, drained the water in the basket, and then washed the wild onion.

The pig food is almost cold, a big bucket, and Xiao Qinghe's current strength can't lift it at all.

But she's not a stupid person who can't think, she can't lift a big bucket, and she can always hold a small pot.

Scoop the pig food into the basin, Xiao Qinghe brought it to the pigsty one by one, and poured the pig food into the trough.

There are two pigs in the pigsty, which were bought in October last year, and now they weigh dozens of pounds, and they have to be fed until the end of the year before they are sent to the township to sell.

Smelling the smell of food, the two little pigs got up with a roar, crowded in front of the trough, buried their heads in it, and snorted and ate.

Xiao Qinghe stood outside the pigsty, looking at them expressionlessly, thinking in his heart, according to the system's prompts, Mu Yuanqi cannot directly act on animals, and if you want to evolve animal genes, you must start with the food they eat.

But pigs generally eat pigweed, so she can't get the precious vitality water to water the weeds, right?

Is there anything that can be grown and suitable for pigs?

Looks like she'll have to ask her mom.

There was no watch at home, and Xiao Qinghe didn't know what time it was, but it was estimated that it was about eleven o'clock, and she began to cook.

Put the rice in the pot, boil it until there is only one white spot, scoop up the rice with a colander, put it in a basket and drain the water, pour the rice soup on the rice, and drip it into the porcelain basin below.

Add water to the pot and bring to a boil, put the retort in it, pour the rice into it, cut a few red lotus and put it inside, and steam it quickly over high heat. When the lid bubbles up, the rice is steamed.

After Lin Jing finished selling the vegetables, she came home with a tired face, she was greeted by the fragrance of rice and the sweet fragrance of red roots, she walked into the kitchen and said in surprise: "Lotus, have you cooked the rice?" ”

Xiao Qinghe looked back and smiled: "Mom, my body is already well, I can help cook when you are busy in the future." I also fed the pigs, which I went to the mountains to hunt for pigweed. ”

Lin Jing was very pleased, and touched her daughter's head with a smile: "My lotus flower is really capable." Don't go too far when you hunt pigweed, just at the foot of the mountain, the mountain is dangerous. ”

"Well, I know. Mom, I picked some folded ear root and wild onion back, let's eat it cold at noon, and then cook a green vegetable egg skin soup. ”

Xiao Qinghe feels that since the family has its own chickens, eggs should not be too economical, money is important, but the body is more important.

"Okay, mom will make a green vegetable egg skin soup for Lotus Flower."

Lin Jing put down the empty back, washed her hands with water, wiped her face, and began to cook.

Add a little lard to the pot, after it starts to smoke, pour in the beaten egg mixture, the spatula will cut the egg mixture, fry it on both sides, then add water to boil, add salt, twist a handful of green vegetables and put it in, the water will boil and get out of the pot, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and a bowl of refreshing green vegetable egg skin soup will be completed.

Put the cleaned folded ear root in a pot, cut the wild onion into long sections and mix it in, take a small bowl, cut a little ginger and garlic, add soy sauce and vinegar, scoop a spoonful of sea pepper noodles, mix thoroughly, pour it on the folded ear root, sprinkle a spoonful of sugar, and the cold folded ear root is ready.

Sitting on the table, looking at the pot of cold salad and folding ear roots, Xiao Qinghe sucked his saliva.

Lin Jing opened the lid of the retort, scooped out two bowls of rice, and praised: "Lotus Flower's rice is steamed well." ”

I saw that in the bowl, the rice was scattered, the pieces were distinct, not soft or hard, just right.

Xiao Qinghe was also very satisfied, she didn't expect that she could cook so well for the first time, it seems that she has a talent for cooking.

"Mom, you eat eggs." Xiao Qinghe put a large piece of egg skin in his mother's bowl and said: "I have already eaten two eggs in the morning, I heard the radio that everyone can only absorb the nutrients of a maximum of two eggs a day, and if there is more, it will be wasted." ”

Lin Jing was skeptical.

Xiao Qinghe nodded solemnly: "Really, I listened to the radio in the village!" Mom, you see I've grown a little flesh on my face recently, you're still so thin, you have to do so many things every day, you eat more, if you get sick, who will take care of me? ”

When Lin Jing heard this, her heart sank, she had never thought about this problem before, all these years, maybe she had been straining a tendon, she really didn't have any illness.

But this time Lotus was injured, and she felt that she was really exhausted.

Now think about it, what if she has a chance and leaves Lotus alone?

Her parents, third brother, and younger brother are unreliable, and although the eldest sister is good to her, she also has two children to raise. Besides, there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, and there is always a layer of separation from the lotus.

It was still by Lotus's side that she was relieved.

So Lin Jing nodded and said, "Okay, mom eats." ”

She thought in her heart that if more eggs were kept for her own food in the future, then the family's income would be less, and the lotus flowers would go to school in the second half of the year, and the expenses would increase a little.

Xiao Qinghe saw that his mother was in a trance, and asked, "Is my mother worried about money?" ”

Lin Jing smiled with a disguised smile: "It's okay, your aunt and your aunt Fang are not in a hurry to ask us to pay back, the family's money is still enough, you don't have to care, when you go to school in the second half of the year, you just need to study hard and strive to eat public food in the future." ”

In this era, being able to eat public food is people's greatest pursuit.

At this time, although many problems had been exposed in state-owned enterprises, it had not yet reached the critical moment of life and death, and the wave of layoffs that had far-reaching influence in the Celestial Empire had not yet broken out, and working as workers in factories was still the most enviable job.

Lin Jing's biggest wish is to let her daughter study a secondary school and be assigned to public units such as supply and marketing cooperatives, grain stations, and food stations in the township in the future.

Xiao Qinghe took a bite of the root of the ear, took a bite of food, and said, "Mom, we can hatch a few more chickens to raise this year, anyway, it doesn't cost much food to raise chickens." Roosters can be sold, hens can lay eggs, and nothing will be lost. ”

Lin Jing thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

Chickens don't need to be fed much in spring, summer and autumn, and only in winter when everything is withering, they need to be fed some vegetable leaves, rice bran, wheat bran and the like.

Xiao Qinghe said again: "Mom, is there anyone selling wild vegetables in the township?" ”

"Wild vegetables? It was eaten in the years of famine, and who eats that thing now. ”

At that time, Lin Jing was still young, but the starvation, the dead, and the desolate land, these images were deeply imprinted in her soul, and if she had the conditions, she didn't want to touch even a mouthful of wild vegetables! That would bring her back to those bad memories.

"Don't you eat these at the root of the ear? There are also bracken, Tsubaki sprouts, camellia, artemisia, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots. ”

"The countryside is full of Ergen, and people who want to eat can dig a bunch on the field casually, who wants to spend money to buy it? Tsubaki sprouts, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots are sold, but no one has ever sold shepherd's cabbage and artemisia. ”

Xiao Qinghe was silent, could it be that there was really no market for wild vegetables at this time?
