Chapter 14: Papaya

Su Chengqi went out to Soma this time and brought back more than 800 copper coins, which added a lot of income to his family.

He went to cut a knife of meat and bought two catties of rice cakes, including two red bean cakes. One was given to San'er, and one was taken to coax the lady.

Su Lingyu climbed down the stool and went to Su Li with rice cakes.

has a daughter-in-law and forgets his mother, Su Chengqi is a typical character. Two pieces of delicate red bean cake, I didn't want to give some to my mother, so I just picked it up and coaxed my wife.

The family can survive, and the Su Li family also puts in a lot of hard work, and she is also a hero and deserves to be rewarded. Since Su Li's family has been forgotten for the time being, then she will go and reward her.

Su Lingyu sent the red bean cake up, and Su Li said with a smile: "The old body is old, and the body bones are not good, so it is not suitable for sweetness." ”

Su Lingyu divided the red bean cake into two and handed over one half.

The white and tender palms are lying on the light red bean cake, and Su Li can't take it, and it won't be if he doesn't take it. In the end, Su Lingyu couldn't resist it, so he picked up the pastry and ate it.

I don't know what it tastes like when she eats pastries, her eyelids are lowered, and she seems to be smiling.

Eating the finely crafted red bean cake and enjoying the filial piety of her grandchildren, she is probably happy.

I hope she is happy, the days are very hard, when she should be happy, add some sugar to the bitter taste, and the days are not so sad.

Su Lingyu took the remaining red bean cake, went back to his seat, and then divided it into two, waiting for the two radish heads to return from school.

Her little table and small bench had been moved under the mulberry tree, and there was no heat in the shade, and her little life was comfortable.

But it was the pain in her nose that made her life a little sad.

In front of her desk, Su reused the "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment", studied the font inside, guessed the meaning of the words, and calculated the time when the two radish heads returned home.

Su Chong and Su Shan ran into the house back and forth, Su Chong carried the schoolbags of the two, and Su Shan held the big papaya.

Su Shan held the big papaya and placed it in front of Su Lingyu, "Sister, look, the big papaya, the ripe papaya." ”

With a scarcity of materials and low incomes, everything with a sweet taste is something that children must fight for. It is also the source of their snacks.

The Su family is not bad for their children, and they can eat fried soybeans every once in a while, and eat some fruits brought by the villagers.

Ripe papaya has the highest sweetness and the lowest hardness, and is loved by both adults and children, especially the elderly with bad teeth.

Su Li brought the kitchen knife, and the blue and black kitchen knife cut vertically, Su Shan was full of anticipation, waiting to eat papaya.

The papaya was divided into two halves, the yellowish flesh of the melon, the black melon seeds were hung, and the expected red and yellow did not appear, Su Shan was very disappointed.

Su Chong also had some regrets, "It's not cooked." ”

The surface of the papaya is yellow, and I thought that the papaya was ripe, but it was open but could not be eaten.

Su Chengqi took the rice cake and coaxed his sons, "Dad saw yesterday that the papaya tree by the river was ripe. There is more yellow skin and less green skin. ”

"Really?" Su Shan finished eating the rice cake in two bites, and said vaguely, "Let's go pick it." ”

Su Chong also gulped down rice cakes, looking forward to picking papaya with his father.

Su Chengqi took the bamboo pole and smiled at Su Lingyu: "San'er is waiting at home, Dad will go and get papaya for you to eat." O said that the three of the Su family, father and son, took bamboo poles and ran to the moat.

"Tonight's dish has fallen." Su Li wants to make papaya into a dish.

The vegetables at home are very popular outside. Eat papaya tonight, and tomorrow you will have a bunch of vegetables to sell, and you can earn back more than a dozen copper plates.

There are about 1,000 copper plates hidden in the urn, and after a while, I can pay back a sum of money.

Su Li was happy and wanted to take the papaya away. saw San'er's white and tender little hand, on the back of her hand, "San'er wants to eat papaya?" This papaya is not delicious, and it is so hard that it is not sweet to knock your teeth. ”

Su Lingyu left half of the papaya and asked Su Li to give her the mustard seeds.

"Mustard seed spicy eyes, you have to be careful, don't get your eyes out." Su Li was very worried.

Su Zhang, who combed his sideburns, had sticky hair between his sideburns, staining his cheeks. The cheeks are flushed, and the slightly swollen lip flap bites the wooden hairpin.

After the sideburns were done, the hairpin was inserted into the clouds, pulled the clothes and walked to the table, and took the mortar in San'er's hand, "The mustard seeds are very spicy, what do you want to do?" ”

Looking at this mother with spring, Su Lingyu only smiled silently. She asked her mother to grind the mustard seeds, and she got the papaya.

Peel and slice the papaya and soak it in spiritual spring water. Fresh white radish, peeled and cut into strips, mashed for juice. Pour the papaya and radish juice into a clay pot, add the mustard seed powder, and add two spoonfuls of vinegar. Wait for a cup of tea, and you can eat papaya slices.

Papaya can be eaten in two ways to cook vegetables and fruits. Crisp and sour and spicy papaya, it belongs to the fruit-based way to eat.

I haven't eaten two radish heads at home, so I want to be novel about this way of eating.

It's just that the mustard seeds are too spicy, similar to mustard, and I don't know if they can accept it.

…………

The three of the Su family, father and son, went home, not with papaya, but with a handful of red and black mulberry fruits.

"We went late, and the papaya was taken away by a few children in the south of the city." Su Shan put down the mulberry fruit and let his mother and grandmother eat it.

"Sister, this is for you, this is the sweetest" After eating too many mulberry fruits, his tongue was black.

Su Lingyu didn't move, and pressed his hands on the clay pot. In front of her, there was a gray and green tile basin upside down on another tile basin.

Su Shan was very curious, and the more he didn't show him, the more he wanted to see it. Su Lingyu pressed the clay pot, saw him stretch out his hand, and quickly slapped it.

I saw Su Shan retract this one, stretch out that one, attack left and right, and snatch the inverted tile basin in three or two clicks.

Seeing the moon-bending papaya slices, lying quietly in shallow water, Su Shan couldn't help but grab a piece, hung it up and took a bite, and the crisp papaya slices broke in response.

When Big Tooth chews papaya, the taste buds are filled with the sweetness of fresh papaya, the hemp of mustard seeds, the spicy of radish, and the acidity of vinegar.

The two-inch-long papaya slices, Su Shan ate them all in a few bites, sucking saliva and calling it spicy, even if it was numb and spicy, he still wanted to eat the second piece.

Su Cheng used chopsticks to clip a piece, tasted it, gave a thumbs up, nodded again and again, and was full of praise. "It's a good thing, a good dish for food, and a good dish for wine."

"Delicious, delicious." Sue sucked heavily and wanted to eat the second slice of papaya.

"If you eat too much, your stomach will be upset, so take it and give it to your friends." Su Zhang asked Su Chong to share the papaya with others.

Su Chengqi grabbed a slice of it, eating papaya with some regrets, if it is paired with two taels of wine, there is nothing to ask for in life.

Children have a heavy appetite and little food, and if they want something delicious, they can't wait to have a few more mouths and eat more. This pot of sour and spicy papaya was served out in less than a quarter of an hour, and it was eaten completely.

Even the water for soaking papaya, you take a sip of me, and drink the essence. The radish heads haven't eaten enough yet, licking their mouths and wanting to take a bite. It's a pity that the tile pot has bottomed out, and there is no water left.

"Mother, is there anything else?"

"Sister, do you still have any? The second brother used a brush to exchange with you, how about it? ”

"Grandma, there is papaya at home, why don't you make another pot?"

Sushan was delicious, and on the second day, he brought back half-ripe papaya, and begged his mother to make him sour and spicy papaya.

The sour and spicy papaya is delicious, and it can't resist eating it every day, the Su family ate it for three days in a row, and Su Zhang's family was afraid. Besides, this vinegar costs money to buy, and the copper plate can't be consumed like this. Su Zhang's reprimanded Er'er and said that he was not allowed to eat papaya in the near future.
