Zhou Rou's whereabouts, Princess Rui's reprimand, Mama Wu's punishment, and the quarrel with Yuan Tianye gave Lin Xiaozhu a sense of urgency that he had never had since he crossed over. She felt that she could no longer sit back and wait for freedom to fall on her head, and that she had to take the initiative and work hard to earn money to gain freedom. At present, the situation is tense and you can't leave the house, but if you want to make money, you can't do without the word "people". In this mansion, the people around Yuan Tianye were punished because of her, and everyone was both afraid and alienated from her. If she isolates herself because of this, she really can't do anything, and she will have a hard time in the future. Now that it's so boring, let's find something to do.

She tilted her head, took a deep breath at the clear blue sky, and walked towards the kitchenette.

Before I reached the door of the kitchen, I heard the sound of a child crying "wow", and when I got closer, I heard Mrs. Li scolding there: "...... It's not easy to eat raw, but you go to the corner of the wall to dig out the dirt and eat, look at your yellow and hungry face, you are going to starve yourself to death. ”

Ma Pozi persuaded on the side: "Alas, Aunt Li, don't worry. Is this because his old son suspected that he was sick and wanted to let his son take a look, so he asked you to bring it here? When he saw when his son was free, he begged him to help prescribe a few medicines and eat them. ”

Mrs. Li sighed: "Son-in-law is so busy that he doesn't even have time to sleep during this time, and this meal is not delicious, where do I dare to speak?" Forget it, let's see in a few days. ”

Lin Xiaozhu listened, thought about it, and walked over.

The sunlight in the room was obscured by human figures, and it suddenly darkened. Mrs. Li and Mrs. Ma raised their heads and saw Lin Xiaozhu standing at the door, and quickly put a smile on their faces. called out: "Little bamboo girl, are you back?" ”

The two of them are assistant cooks, and their status is lower than that of cooks. And the injuries on his buttocks are not yet good, but he also knows that Lin Xiaozhu's backstage is hard, Rao has hatred for Lin Xiaozhu in his heart, and he doesn't dare to bring out a trace of it on his face.

"Aunt Li, is this your grandson?" Lin Xiaozhu saw a thin, yellow-faced boy of six or seven years old, who was hiding in the kitchen and sobbing, and asked with a smile.

The kitchen is heavy. Idlers are not allowed to enter. If Lin Xiaozhu made a fuss about this, he would have to be punished. Mrs. Li's face changed, and she replied in a loud voice: "Ah, I'll tell him to go, and I'll tell him to go." ”

"No need. Just let him play here. "If Lin Xiaozhu wants to win people's hearts, he naturally has to work hard. With a sincere smile on his face, he walked over to tease the child. "What's your name, tell my sister. If you say it, my sister will make something delicious for you to eat in a while, do you want it? ”

The boy sobbed to himself. Ignore Lin Xiaozhu. Mrs. Li saw that the smile on Lin Xiaozhu's face was sincere, not like there was malicious intent. Secretly relieved, he walked over and pushed the child: "Miss Xiaozhu asked you something, hurry up." He looked up at Lin Xiaozhu and smiled, "His big name is Li Shun." Because he was born in the Year of the Tiger and ranked second, his nickname is Erhuzi. ”

Lin Xiaozhu touched Erhuzi's head, then sat down, looked at Mrs. Li and asked seriously: "Outside the door just now, I heard you say that Erhuzi doesn't like to eat." Instead, you like to dig out the wall mud to eat? ”

Mrs. Li sighed and said, "Isn't it?" This kid doesn't know what's going on, these six months. I barely ate a few bites of food at each meal, but I often took out the wall mud and stuffed it into my mouth. This fight has also been fought. I scolded and scolded, but I always didn't listen. I also asked Lang Zhong outside to take a look, and I drank a few packs of medicine, but it didn't work. I was thinking about ......" She looked at Lin Xiaozhu's face and said cautiously, "When the girl is serving the food at night, can you talk to Childe and ask him to take a look when he is free?" ”

Lin Xiaozhu was angry with Yuan Tianye at this time, and he didn't want to beg him for others. She thought for a moment and said, "That's it, I've heard someone say a prescription here, it's not medicine, it's just food." Even if you can't cure the disease, there is no big problem if you eat it. If it doesn't work for three days, I'll go and talk to Childe for you and let him take a look. ”

Mrs. Li felt that Lin Xiaozhu's little girl's family had no knowledge, and she was afraid that she couldn't read a few words, so where did she know what to do? I thought I was unwilling to help her ask for a son, so I was not very happy, and said lightly on my face: "Then try it." ”

As long as you're willing to try. Lin Xiaozhu didn't care about her attitude, stood up and looked out the window, and said, "Is there a vegetable field in this house?" I don't know if there is one in the purslane vegetable garden? ”

This method was written by the old man in his recipe. According to the old man, the child had a loss of appetite and liked to eat clods of earth, so he must have hookworm disease. There are many ways to treat it, and one of them is to eat purslane. Purslane can not only kill insects, but also benefit qi, clear summer heat, widen the middle and lower qi, slip the intestines, eliminate accumulation zone, treat sores and redness, swelling and pain, the whole body is medicated, and it can also be eaten with vegetables.

Purslane forest bamboo is known. Modern people pay attention to green food, and many wild vegetables that have been abandoned before are on people's tables again. And this purslane is one of them. This wild vegetable often grows in vegetable gardens, farmlands, and roadsides, and is a common weed in the field. So if you want to find it, it's best to go to the vegetable garden.

"Purslane?" Mrs. Li looked at Lin Xiaozhu suspiciously, "You mean, my grandson doesn't need to take medicine, he only needs to eat purslane?" ”

If you want to be believed, you have to fool yourself. Lin Xiaozhu said: "You also know that we countrymen usually don't have the opportunity to see a doctor when we are sick, so we can only use some home remedies." My neighbor's children used to be like your grandson, they didn't like to eat, they liked to eat clods. Later, the respected old man in the village taught such a recipe. As a result, I tried it, and it was really good. ”

"Really?" When Mrs. Li heard this, she was skeptical. But purslane she knows that it can't eat the dead. Since Lin Xiaozhu said so, then you can give it a try. She stood up and said, "There should be one in the vegetable yard at the back, I'll look for it." ”

"I'll go with you too." Lin Xiaozhu, who works as a cook, has a strong interest in vegetable gardens that can provide fresh ingredients. Anyway, it's not time to cook dinner yet, so I'm going to follow along.

The small kitchen is not far from Yuan Tianye's main courtyard, and the vegetable garden that often needs to be watered cannot be located near this small kitchen. At the moment, Mrs. Ma was left to pick vegetables in the kitchen, and Mrs. Li carried her grandson on her back and walked to the back door with Lin Xiaozhu. I walked along the alley for a long time, until I passed through an arch and came to a garden. Mrs. Li pointed to a piece of green in front of her and said, "That's the vegetable garden." ”

"Aunt Li, why did you come to this pickled place today?" In the distance, a man in a straw hat greeted this side, "Yo, and Miss Xiaozhu, why are you here too?" ”

Lin Xiaozhu recognized that the man was the second dog who had made her joke in the big kitchen, and immediately smiled: "Let's look for it, see if there is purslane next to the vegetable garden." Then he asked, "Uncle Ergou, have you ever seen a dish called chili?" ”

"Chili?" Ergouzi shook his head, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Lin Xiaozhu was a little disappointed. Sichuan cuisine is a major faction in Chinese cuisine, and there are many dishes in it, which Lin Xiaozhu likes. In her previous life, she liked to eat chili peppers, which traveled back to ancient times, without chili peppers, she always felt that something was missing, and the taste was not strong enough. She had inquired for a while in Qingxi Town before, but no one knew what chili peppers were. She had the illusion that she could find this plant in the capital. Right now...... Alas!

"Little bamboo girl, there are purslanes here." Although Mrs. Li is suspicious of Lin Xiaozhu's prescription, it is better to have hope than no hope. So when I saw purslane at this time, I was very happy, and I put my grandson down at the moment, squatted down by myself, and pulled out a lot.

And Lin Xiaozhu looked at the green cucumbers, the long beans, and the golden pumpkins tied to the shelves with vines, and only felt in a good mood.

"Wow, there's a plantain growing here?" Lin Xiaozhu looked at a few strings of plantain trees hanging from several lush plantain trees next to the vegetable garden, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe, the little bamboo girl likes to eat plantains? The tree is still alive, and it is not delicious. I have a plantain here that has been hanging in the bran for several days, so you can take it and eat it. The second dog smiled and took out a bunch of plantains from an urn and brought it to Lin Xiaozhu.

"Thank you, Uncle Ergou." Lin Xiaozhu smiled and bent his eyes. Compared with bananas, this plantain is not so sweet and glutinous, the taste is slightly sour, and it has a special aroma, which is her favorite food. Take it back to make silk plantains, sweet and crispy with a slight acidity, the most delicious.

"Uncle Ergou, I want a banana flower, can you please help pick one?" She pointed to the tree again.

"No problem." Because Yuan Tianye attacked many people for Lin Xiaozhu, everyone was a little afraid of her. But as soon as she made such contact, Ergouzi found that she was just a very cute girl, and her heart suddenly became happy. He is a person who is used to work, and he has martial arts, so he doesn't need to set up a ladder at this time, he jumped up and hugged the banana tree, and in a few clicks, he jumped to the tree, picked the largest banana flower, and threw it in front of Lin Xiaozhu.

"Little bamboo girl, you want flowers, there are many in the garden, and the son usually doesn't care, you can pick them if you like. This banana flower is not good-looking, what do you want it for? Mrs. Li looked at the banana flower in Lin Xiaozhu's hand strangely, her eyes full of disdain.

"Ah, I'm not looking at it, I'm using it to cook." Lin Xiaozhu said with a smile.

"Cooking? Can this thing be cooked? Not only was Mrs. Li suspicious, but even the two dogs were full of disbelief.

Although this Lin Xiaozhu girl hopes to cure her grandson's illness, Mrs. Li is never perfunctory about her professional things. She pouted and said, "Although I am not a cook, I have also been a cook in the kitchen for half my life, and I have never heard that banana flowers can also cook." ”

Lin Xiaozhu didn't want to say more, and said with a smile: "I'll make it in a while, you can taste it, it tastes good." In her previous life, when she went to Yunnan, she ate this spiced banana flower in Xishuangbanna, and it is still unforgettable. Now when I see this plantain tree, I start thinking about making this dish.
