Volume 1 Chapter 3 Winter Greens
"Sister, isn't this roast meat?" He has been hungry since last night, and at noon he knew that his eldest sister was going to be busy, so he endured it and didn't mention it, and in the evening he couldn't help it, so he shrank beside his sister and asked softly.
"Yes. If the younger brother wants to eat, the younger sister will definitely make it for you. "This meat was originally kept for oneself to eat, and there is no reason to hide it all the time.
"Wow, sister is so nice." Qiao Bai looked at Qiao Xi with starry eyes.
"If you want to eat meat, you'll have to help me with the work, go wash the wild vegetables, and cook them together with the pheasant." There is not much oil, salt, sauce and vinegar left at home, and I have to find a way to raise money to buy some back.
"Let's go." took a handful of wild vegetables given by Qiao Xi and ran out in a puff of smoke.
Her home is at the foot of the mountain, and a hundred meters away from her house is a river, from which the water for drinking and washing comes from.
Her house is some distance from the village, usually few people pass here, the people in the village go up the mountain are taken another way, there are more people walking there, and a certain scale has been formed, and their family here is only a few of them walking, and it is easy to get lost if you are not familiar.
I took off the pheasant hanging from the beam, and dropped a quarter more with the knife in my hand, and hung the other back untouched.
Chop the chopped chicken into small pieces one by one, put it in a basin, clean it with a spoon, and set it aside.
Then get a little wild garlic and wild ginger, sit on the stove to make a fire, after a while, the fire in the fire chamber is blazing, the water in the pot is boiling soon, and then throw the wild garlic and wild ginger into the boiling water, and then put the washed pheasant in it, increase the heat and start to simmer the pheasant.
Without oil, you can't cook other dishes, you can only make the simplest boiling.
Qiao Bai came back from washing the wild vegetables, and he was already faintly able to ask about the faint fragrance, and couldn't help spitting, I really wanted to eat it.
"Sister, it's done."
"Let's see if my eldest brother has come back."
"Hey, go right away."
When the pheasant was almost ready, Qiao Xi put the wild vegetables in the pot and simmered together for a while.
Put the firewood in the other stove, wait until the pot is hot, and make a few tortillas.
Looking at the dwindling food, Qiao Xi was sad, these things could last them for ten days at most, otherwise they would have to eat one meal a day.
In winter, the wild vegetables that can be dug and eaten have long been dug up and smooth, and even the smallest ones will not be spared.
"Big brother is back, it's time to eat." I was about to go outside to see the eldest brother and the younger brother, and as soon as I walked to the door, I saw the two of them coming back together.
"Little brother, go wash your hands and eat." With that, he turned around and went into the kitchen.
By the time the two of them packed up and walked into the kitchen, Qiao Xi had already put the food on the low table.
After the three of them sat down, they began to eat.
"Big brother, the food at home can probably last for ten days at most, let's find a way to exchange some money to buy some food and come back." Qiao Xi told her eldest brother about the situation at home while eating.
Qiao Song knew the situation at home, and he knew it clearly without his sister saying it, but he didn't have a penny in his hand, and now on this day, he ......
"Well, big brother knows, I'll figure it out." That being said, he knows how hard it is.
"Big brother, there are a lot of greens in the backyard garden, and if they are picked, it will be almost dozens of catties, or we will take those vegetables to the town tomorrow and sell them." This is also thanks to her golden finger, there is basically no green to eat in winter, and the basic ones that can be eaten are cabbage and radish, she thought about trying to see if she could grow vegetables, so she took the vegetable seeds to the field, that day she took the vegetable seeds in the palm of her hand, and wanted to let God bless her to successfully grow vegetables, and suddenly a miracle happened, the vegetable seeds germinated in the palm of her hand at a speed visible to the naked eye, so frightened that she sprinkled all the vegetable seeds in her hand into the vegetable field, and fled away from the vegetable field. After returning to the room, she began to wonder what was going on, the novels of the Celestial Empire were very popular, and she had read a few of them, according to her situation, this seemed to be called a plant-fueled ability, and if it could be upgraded, it could mutate, so I don't know if her ability would also have such an ability. After figuring it out, she gave it a try, and it can really help plants grow quickly.
After determining this ability, she planted all the empty vegetable patches with greens, hoping to use these vegetables to relieve some of the family, at least to survive this winter.
It's only been a dozen days now, and she went to see it this morning, and the dishes are ready to eat.
"Greens, how is that possible?" Qiao Song was taken aback, how could he eat vegetables in winter.
"I know this, the eldest brother is real, and the elder sister has really planted it." He has been accompanying his sister to the vegetable field for the past two days, where the greens have grown beautifully. looked at him and was greedy, but my sister said that she would exchange it for money, otherwise this dish would have been served a long time ago, how could she eat those shriveled wild vegetables.
"Eat quickly, I'll take a look when I'm done." If it were true, I would have been able to exchange it for some money, and I would have been able to buy some food, so that I wouldn't go hungry. He should earn more by copying books when he is free, and there are no fresh vegetables in winter.
"Hmm."
The three brothers and sisters, a pot of pheasants and wild vegetables, a few cakes were quickly wiped out, and after cleaning up the kitchen, Qiao Xi took his brother to the vegetable field in the backyard.
The vegetable patch in the backyard is surrounded by a fence, and if you don't look closely, you really can't see this piece of green vegetables.
"Little sister." Looking at this piece of watery green vegetables, Qiao Song shouted at the little sister in surprise. Tears rolled in his eyes, his sister was only eight years old, and she had already begun to plan for her livelihood, he ......
Qiao Xi knew what her eldest brother was thinking at a glance, and took a step towards his side, "Brother, my brother and I are responsible for this family, and we can't let you carry it alone." "She is not an ordinary eight-year-old, she was born with memories, she knows much more than others, although her life is very poor, but as long as the three of them work together, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.
Now they are just a temporary predicament, and one day they will see the light of day, with her brain and ability, the immediate difficulties are just a transition on the road to success.
"Okay, let's work together." Qiao Song wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and showed a kind smile to his sister and brother.
"Well, as long as we put our hearts together, there is no difficulty that we can't overcome."
"Big brother, sister, I will accompany you." Qiao Bai looked at his eldest brother and then at his sister, and said seriously with his cheeks puffed.
"Well, Daddy will watch us from heaven and bless us."
"Little sister, get up early tomorrow, and we'll take these dishes to the town to sell."
"No problem."
"I'll go tomorrow too, I can go by myself." Qiao Bai volunteered.
"Okay, let's go together."
