The new house of the Zhang family was completed, and the housewarming banquet was also held well, and the people in the village talked about it.

The Zhang family in the village is not as often ignored as before.

"Sister-in-law, Xiao Qi is gone."

Zhang Dandan hurriedly ran over.

"Doesn't Xiao Qi often not go home?" Liu Meiniang was cutting cucumbers, and the movements in her hands did not stop.

"Xiao Qi hasn't been back for two days." Zhang Dandan paused and said.

"Haven't been back for two days?" Liu Meiniang asked in surprise.

This is the first time. The more Xiao Qi grows up, the more Liu Meiniang discovers that Xiao Qi has a wild nature that prosperity and fortune do not have, and the longer Xiao Qi's appearance looks more and more similar to a wolf, Liu Meiniang can't help but wonder if Zhang Jihan picked up a wolf back in the first place. But Xiao Qi's barking was still a dog's barking, and Liu Meiniang's worries dissipated.

However, Liu Meiniang thought that there were many dogs in her previous life, weren't they all mixed-race, such as Jinsa born by a mixture of a golden retriever and Satsuma, maybe Xiaoqi was born from a mixture of a dog and a wolf.

Therefore, Xiao Qi often runs out, Liu Meiniang and Zhang Dandan don't care much, anyway, when it gets dark, Xiao Qi will run back by himself.

But I didn't come back for two days, and it was indeed the first time.

"Don't worry, let's find it after dinner." Liu Meiniang wasn't too worried, Xiao Qi ran out, it was nothing more than running to the back mountain, and the back mountain was fenced off, so there shouldn't be any danger.

"Okay." Zhang Dandan said sullenly.

Zhang Li's back injury is not completely healed, but he can't sit still, and he cleans all the rooms every day.

Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, Liu Meiniang used her free time to make a set of single clothes for Zhang Jihan and each of them with the help of Zhang Li's family.

Liu Meiniang was wearing light blue clothes, with her sleeves rolled up, revealing her white arms and wrists.

For today's lunch, she is going to make Liangpi, which is a famous snack she went to a tourist attraction in her previous life.

It is very cool to eat in the summer.

Liu Meiniang is also a food lover, and when she returned home from that trip, she went to the Internet to search for the practice of cool skin, and finally researched it herself.

Liu Meiniang reconciled the noodles early, and then sewed a pocket with a clean and delicate white cloth for "washing the face", directly put the reconciled noodles in the cloth bag, and then put them in the water and knead them over and over again until the last bit of dough remained, which was gluten. The kneaded water is left to settle until a layer of white paste is precipitated at the bottom of the water, and a cool skin can be made with that white paste.

In order to make cool skin, Liu Meiniang also made two thin copper sheets.

The cool skin made is as thin as cicada wings, Liu Meiniang didn't expect it to be so successful for the first time.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Zhang Dandan was a child in the end, and he was quickly attracted by the strange things made by Liu Meiniang.

"It's a cool skin." Liu Meiniang spread the cool skin on the table and waited for the cool skin to cool down.

"This one looks so delicious." Zhang Dandan secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Then you'll eat more later." Liu Meiniang poured the red-hot oil into the mixed chili noodles.

The sound of "zilala" sounded, and Zhang Dandan, who was choked with the taste of chili peppers, coughed non-stop.

"Go out and stay, it's too choking inside." Liu Meiniang pushed Zhang Dandan out and continued to cook.

Liu Meiniang cut the cucumber shreds, prepared chili oil, salt, vinegar and other seasonings, mixed a few green vegetables, baked a few egg cakes, and lunch was ready.

Zhang Jihan came back from the mountain sweating profusely, and ran directly into the bathroom to start taking a shower.

"Go and call Tongtong and my mother, they will come to dinner." Liu Meiniang brought the cut cold skin to the table and said.

Zhang Tongtong followed Zhang Jihan up the mountain yesterday and today to work for a while, feeding the fish and chickens.

The chickens on the mountain are also almost grown, and they will be able to eat chicken in two months.

Because the chickens are free-range in the mountains, they not only eat well, but also have enough exercise, so the chickens grow quickly and look very healthy.

"Mei Niang, what are you doing today?" Zhang Li washed his hands and sat at the table. Looking at the food that Liu Meiniang brought to the table, she had never seen it before.

"Mother, this is Liangpi." Liu Meiniang served a bowl to everyone, and adjusted it according to their taste.

"Sister-in-law, I remember that you have never made this food before." Zhang Jihan had already picked up a bowl and was about to start eating.

Zhang Jihan just asked casually, and Liu Meiniang's heart tightened.

"This is also the food I have been thinking about lately." Liu Meiniang snorted haha.

"Sister-in-law is amazing." Zhang Dandan cheered.

Several people ate the cold skin made by Liu Meiniang and praised it one after another.

"This cold skin is really delicious, slippery, and it's really suitable to eat on a hot day." Zhang Li commented.

"Mother, eat a cake, only eat cold skin for fear of stomach discomfort." Liu Meiniang handed Zhang Li a piece of egg cake.

"Okay."

"Sister-in-law, I want it too." Zhang Dandan stretched out his hand and said happily.

"Okay, give." Liu Meiniang tore half of the egg cake and handed it to Zhang Dandan.

It's a lot of fun.

After eating, Liu Meiniang and Zhang Dandan went to the back mountain to find Xiaoqi.

Zhang Jihan had nothing to do, so he went with Liu Meiniang.

Liu Meiniang took a basket in her hand, it had just rained, there should be a lot of wild vegetables growing on the mountain, as well as fungus, Liu Meiniang is ready to see if there is a female fungus to pick back is also a dish.

The last time the fungus was discovered, Zhang and Li's people were afraid that the fungus was poisonous and did not let Liu Meiniang eat it, Liu Meiniang had to feed the fungus to the chickens and dogs, and the chickens and dogs were fine when they ate it, so everyone believed that the fungus was really not poisonous.

So Liu Meiniang's family also began to eat fungus. Liu Meiniang also pushed the fungus to Chunmanlou, and the new dishes in Chunmanlou attracted many customers, and Boss Gao's smiling mouth couldn't close.

The trustee sent Liu Meiniang a lot of special pastries from Chunmanlou.

Liu Meiniang and Zhang Dandan went down the path on the mountain, shouting Xiaoqi as they walked, but there was no movement on the mountain.

"Xiao Qi won't run elsewhere," Zhang Jihan looked around, looking for such a big circle and still not finding it.

"No, the back mountains are all around, where can Xiao Qi run." Zhang Dandan shook his head and continued to shout.

The three of them turned over the back mountain, but Xiao Qi still didn't find it.

"What should I do, sister-in-law, Xiao Qi is gone." Zhang Dandan stood under a tree and began to shed tears.

"Don't worry, don't worry, you will definitely find it, Dandan doesn't cry." Liu Meiniang wiped away Zhang Dandan's tears and comforted.

As he was talking, the sound of crickets came from the grass in front of him.

"Be careful!" Zhang Jihan's nerves tensed instantly, although they were already familiar with the back mountain, it was difficult to guarantee that there were no large carnivores on the mountain.

Zhang Jihan took three steps and two steps to protect Liu Meiniang and Zhang Dandan behind him.

"Little Seven?" Zhang Dandan called out tentatively.

The thing in the grass suddenly moved, and suddenly pounced on Zhang Dandan and Liu Meiniang, it turned out to be really Xiao Qi, and there was a strange leaf on the dog's head.

"Xiao Qi, where did you go!" Zhang Dandan hugged Xiao Qi and slapped it twice, Xiao Qi arched in Zhang Dandan's arms and whimpered in a low voice.

"Okay, Xiao Qi has been found, it's time for us to go home." Zhang Jihan breathed a sigh of relief, touched Zhang Dandan's head and said.

"Hmm." Zhang Dandan burst into tears and laughed.

"Wait a minute." Liu Meiniang suddenly said aloud,

Because she saw a small fruit hanging from the leaves on the head of the little seven.

"This is ......" Liu Meiniang took off the leaves from the little seven heads, and the small fruit on it Liu Meiniang was very familiar, only the size of a pigeon egg, Liu Meiniang had a flash of inspiration. Isn't this just a scaled-down version of a potato?

Liu Meiniang leaned over to her nose and sniffed it again, and the taste was really the same as that of potatoes.

In her previous life, potatoes were also planted in the yard of her grandfather's house in the countryside, and Liu Meiniang was quite familiar with potatoes.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Zhang Jihan asked puzzled.

"Wait for me." Liu Meiniang walked along the grass that Xiao Qi had just run over, and sure enough, she saw the rhizome of the potato in the grass.

Liu Meiniang was overjoyed, there are many things that are not available in this overhead era, or there are many things that are not among their food, such as crabs, such as fungus, and a commonly eaten vegetable that Liu Meiniang has never seen since she passed through is potatoes.

She likes to eat potatoes, which can be made into all kinds of food, mashed potatoes, potato flour, and sour and hot shredded potatoes.

Liu Meiniang thought of the sour and hot potato shreds that her mother often fried in her previous life, and her eyes were hot.

Liu Meiniang looked at her basket and saw that there were no tools in it, and after making the mark, she was going to dig tomorrow to see if it was a potato.

"Sister-in-law, have you found anything?" Zhang Dandan ran to Liu Meiniang's side and asked.

Every time I am with Liu Meiniang, there will be new discoveries, Zhang Dandan especially likes to go up the mountain with Liu Meiniang, Liu Meiniang uses the dog tail grass that is ripped off casually to weave a beautiful rabbit for her, and can also use the wildflowers on the side of the road to weave a wreath for her.

"Well, we'll come back tomorrow, we didn't bring a hoe today." Liu Meiniang held back the excitement in her heart and said.

"Okay, then sister-in-law, let's go back." Zhang Dandan jumped, and Xiao Qi followed Zhang Dandan step by step.

Looking at the one person and one dog playing happily in front of her, Liu Meiniang couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth.

After breakfast the next day, Liu Meiniang went up the mountain with a hoe, and in the place where she found it yesterday, Liu Meiniang found several potato vines.

Two of them have died, and Liu Meiniang remembers that her grandfather told her that the death of the leaves of the potatoes proves that the potatoes are ripe and can be dug up.

Liu Meiniang raised her hoe and began to dig up a few dead potato leaves.

A hoe went down and dug out four.

Liu Meiniang patted the mash on the potatoes casually and put the potatoes in the basket.

After digging up the two dead potato leaves, there were already nine fist-sized potatoes in the basket.

Although it is a little different from the potatoes she saw in the supermarket in her previous life, Liu Meiniang can be sure that this is a potato.

Liu Meiniang ran to the creek with the basket and rinsed the potatoes.

I have come up with N ways to make potatoes in my head.

Liu Meiniang returned home with potatoes and went directly into the kitchen.

"Hey, Mei Niang, why do you have stone fruits in your basket?" Zhang Li said when he saw the things in Liu Meiniang's basket.

Liu Meiniang was a little disappointed, she thought that people here didn't know about potatoes, so she could not only make delicious food, but also make a lot of money by selling them to Chun Manlou.

"Stone fruit?" Liu Meiniang picked up a potato and handed it to Zhang Li.

"Yes, this is a stone fruit, you can't eat it, it will eat the dead." Zhang Li took the potato and looked at it carefully for a while and said.

"Dead people?" It's a potato, how can it eat a dead person?

"Yes, Mei Niang, don't you know? Stone fruit will eat the dead. Zhang Li emphasized again.

"Mother, did anyone lose their lives by eating stone fruit before?" Liu Meiniang continued to ask.

"Yes, I can't remember what year it was, because of the drought, there was a famine in the village, everyone tried to fill their stomachs, grass roots and bark, as long as they could eat everything, at that time there were also people who ate stone fruits, but they ate the first day and died the next day, and no one ate this thing again."

Zhang Li said with palpitations.

Liu Meiniang fell into deep thought after listening to Zhang Li's words.

She really hadn't heard of potatoes eating dead people, could it be that the thing she was holding in her hand was really not a potato?

Liu Meiniang suddenly remembered that when she helped her grandmother peel potatoes, her grandmother said that if the potatoes sprouted, they could not be eaten, and the sprouted potatoes were poisonous.

Liu Meiniang knew that if she asked Zhang Li if the poisoned person had eaten sprouted potatoes, Zhang Li would definitely not remember clearly, so she was still ready to try it first.

After taking the potatoes to the kitchen and putting them down, Liu Meiniang plans to cook some potatoes at night, and take them to the mountains tomorrow to feed the chickens.
