After the cold winter, the spring of the eighth year of Qing'an was finally ushered in, and everything recovered, and there was a vibrant scene everywhere.

On this day, Xiao Qi came back from studying at the Hua family, took a steamed bun in each hand, walked while eating, and went to the pear flower house opposite.

Pear Blossom was busy working in the stove, and when she saw Xiao Qi walking in, she said: "The wild vegetables I dug yesterday were a little bad, so I made a few wild vegetable rolls with mixed noodles, little mouse, quickly move a stool for your little seventh sister to sit on." ”

Xiao Qi handed the unbitten steamed bun in his left hand to the little mouse, and then walked directly to the stove and sat down to help Pear Blossom light the fire.

Lihua put the wild vegetable rolls in the steamer and wiped her hands with a wet handkerchief: "Xiaoqi, tomorrow I will go to the town to get medicine for my mother, do you want to go with you?" "Xiao Qi has a lot of strength, and Lihua feels very secure with her by her side.

"I'll go back and ask my mother, and if my mother agrees, I'll go to town with you tomorrow. Sister Rika, actually, I originally wanted to ask if you were free tomorrow, and I wanted to go digging wild vegetables with you. ”

Xiao Qi stuffed a few pieces of coarse firewood into the stove hall, pulled the bellows twice, and then said: "Sister Lihua, I saw that you went to the town every few days to catch medicine, Grandpa Hua also often goes to the town, you can save some leg strength and time by taking Grandpa Hua's car, Grandpa Hua is very good, and he will definitely take you." ”

Rika: "That's not good. ”

"It's okay, Grandpa Hua often takes people from the village, and my dad sometimes has to drive to town, you can save time by saying hello in advance."

"If you feel embarrassed, dig up some wild vegetables and send them over, I see that Sister Hua and her family like to eat wild vegetables, and the mushrooms on the mountain are also very good."

It's naturally good to be able to take a car to the town, Pear Blossom said to Xiao Qi: "Then let's go digging wild vegetables and picking mushrooms together another day." ”

"Okay," Seeing that the fire was almost burning, Xiao Qi stood up and prepared to leave.

Pear Blossom: "The wild vegetable rolls will be ready to cook soon, Xiao Qi, wait a minute, I'll pick one up for you, and let you taste my craftsmanship." ”

Xiao Qi had already noticed when the fire was burning just now that the pear blossoms had only steamed a total of six or seven small rolls, which was not enough for their own family to eat.

Xiao Qi stuck out his tongue and looked playful: "My mother made gnocchi at night, if I don't go home to eat, I must think that I dislike her craftsmanship." ”

Rika was a little embarrassed: "The food I make is too far worse than what Aunt Niu makes." ”

Xiao Qi is not modest at all: "The food made by my mother tastes really good, but Sister Lihua, you don't have to be sad, there are few people in the village who can compare to my mother." ”

"You have eaten my gnocchi, my mother will put old beans and potatoes in the gnocchi, and will break the egg flowers into it, the potatoes taste doughy, the old beans are also very fragrant, Sister Lihua, you can also do it like my mother, the little mouse will definitely eat more happily."

Rika was a little embarrassed: "My eggs are going to be taken to the town to exchange money for medicine." ”

Xiao Qi: "Didn't we make some money selling duck feather jackets last time?" ”

The corners of Lihua's eyes immediately turned red again when she heard this: "Except for me, the other three people in my family have to take medicine, and there is not much silver left." ”

Xiao Qi was most afraid of seeing a woman crying, so he hurriedly took out a handkerchief and handed it to Pear Blossom: "I heard Granny Hua say that if you eat more nutritious, your body will be much better, you occasionally put an egg to make up for your mother and the little mouse, maybe you can save some money for medicine, Granny Hua said that the medicine is poisonous." ”

Pear Blossom was a little tempted when she heard this, and secretly decided to learn from Xiaoqijia in the future, and make some broken egg flowers when making soup, so that she could really nourish the body of her father and younger brother.

Xiao Qi: "Sister Lihua, I'll go back first, and we'll dig wild vegetables together another day to sell." ”

Rika: "Good ......"

March three wild vegetables race god pill, spring is a good season to eat wild vegetables, camelina is the most tender at this time, is the most popular wild vegetables in Liujia Village.

The village is poor and poor, the seasoning is limited, many people dig the camelina and go home, cook it with water and add a little salt to mix it to become a dish, or directly make soup, even if it is such a simple method, the camelina is still delicious and tight.

The flower family likes to use the camelina to wrap dumplings to eat, the method is very simple, wash the camelina and chop it, put in eggs or pork, and then mix in salt, a little soy sauce and chopped shallots, and the dumplings are very delicious when boiled or steamed.

Xiao Qi is often left to eat when he goes to study at Hua's house.

On this day, the Hua family made egg and camellia dumplings, Xiao Qi ate five bowls in a row, and took the sixth bowl from Mrs. Zhao.

Hua Xi'er laughed heartily: "Half a child, eat a poor man, it's probably like Xiao Qi." ”

Xiao Qi looked aggrieved: "Aunt Xi, you know that I have always eaten a lot, but I have not worked less." ”

Hua Xi'er touched Xiao Qi's hair: "Those words are all about those ignorant boys, our Xiao Qi is a capable person, I will make you the most powerful woman in our Great Xia Dynasty in the future." ”

Xiao Qi nodded vigorously when she heard this, Aunt Xi often said that she would become a heroine in the future, and she was already convinced of this.

Granny Hua smiled gently and said to the two, "When eating, you should talk less. ”

Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er stuck out their tongues and glanced at each other, and continued to eat quietly.

When Xiao Qi left the Hua family, he said to Hua Xi'er: "Aunt Xi, I will bring you cold wild mint tomorrow, you will definitely like it." ”

Wild mint is an alternative, the taste is very special, cold salad wild mint is Xiao Qi's favorite dish, she wants to share what she likes with the people she likes.

On the second day, Xiao Qiyi went to the outside of the village early in the morning to pick a small half basket of wild mint and went home.

Niu Shiying smiled at the gate of the courtyard and took the basket in Xiao Qi's hand: "Look at this child, it's really hard to eat, I thought you ran to where early in the morning." ”

Xiao Qi smiled: "Mother, it was too early when I got up, and I was afraid of waking you up, so I went out quietly." ”

Niu Shi washed the wild mint, put it in boiling water and scalded it, drained the water, added salt and sesame oil and mixed it to make a cold wild mint, although the method is simple but delicious.

Seeing that there was half a basket, there were only two plates of finished products, and a family of four ate a plate of wild mint in a few clicks.

Ah Fu stretched out his chopsticks to another plate, and Xiao Qi stopped him: "Brother, I'll pick some back for you tomorrow, these are what I promised to Aunt Xi." ”

Ah Fu: "Okay, tomorrow we will go digging wild vegetables together, and by the way, we will herd sheep." ”

After Xiao Qi finished eating, he took another plate of wild mint to Hua's house.

Hua Xi'er greeted the gate of the courtyard: "Someone said yesterday that they wanted to bring me vegetables, and I waited here early in the morning." ”

Xiao Qi: "I picked it early in the morning, it's fresh." ”

Hua Xi'er put the cold wild mint in Xiao Qi's hand on the table, and looked Xiao Qi up and down: "I see that your shoes are stained with dew, are they cold, do you want to go back and change a pair now?" ”

Xiao Qi glanced at his shoes and said, "It's only a little wet on the surface, it's not wet inside, so you don't need to change it." ”

Hua Xi'er ran to the stove and got the dishes and chopsticks, and immediately started eating.

Before she knew it, a plate of wild mint entered Hua Xi'er's stomach.

Looking at the bare plate, Hua Xi'er was still unsatisfied: "Anyway, you haven't changed your shoes yet, why don't we go pick wild vegetables now." ”

Xiao Qi: "Okay, let's call Sister Lihua together." ”

The three of them went together to the slope at the east end of the village, where there were many little girls digging wild vegetables, and they whispered when they saw Hua Xi'er from a distance.

"That's Miss Xi'er of the Flower Family, right?"

"I guess so, I haven't seen her, but I can tell by looking at her good clothes."

"Yes, the Hua family's clothes are the first in our village."

Squatting on the ground and digging wild vegetables for about half an hour, Hua Xi'er looked up and saw that most of the children who were digging wild vegetables nearby had gone back, Xiao Qi and Lihua were still squatting on the ground with serious expressions.

Hua Xi'er's speed of picking wild mint is really flattering, she looked at her small basket, and then looked at Xiao Qi and Pear Blossom, cleared her throat and said, "Am I too stupid to pick such a little." ”

Xiao Qi and Pear Blossom both knew in their hearts that Hua Xi'er came to dig wild vegetables purely for fun.

Xiao Qi looked up and looked around: "It's not early, everyone is going home, let's go back too." ”

Back in the village, Xiao Qi and Pear Blossom each gave some of the wild mint in their basket to Hua Xi'er.

Hua Xi'er happily accepted: "I love to eat this thing, I will invite you to eat dim sum when I go back, a few days ago I learned to make dim sum with Mrs. Zhao at home, and my mother said that I did a good job." ”
