On the second day of February, the pig's head, which had been left for the winter, began to be boiled early in the morning. On this day, the pig's head meat is dipped in garlic paste, which is enough to eat, and eating the pig's head meat on this day is not eating the pig's head meat, but gnawing the dragon's head.

Rolling cakes with noodles, cutting leeks with knives, although it is a leek planted in a trough in the stove room in winter, it has not passed too much through the sun, but it is tender and green, that is fresh, and there are mung bean sprouts that have been sent in the first few days, dried tofu shreds, stir-fried vegetables, with shredded meat and green onions, and then smeared with some sauce, rolled in spring cakes, which is called a fragrant.

Several daughters-in-law of the Bai family have no skills in making tendon cakes, but the old prince next door sent a plate of tendon cakes over, this is not as thick as the spring cakes, nor like the spring cakes are two or three pancakes rolled out in one place, and they are burned and lifted, but they are thin, and they are translucent and oily when they are lifted to meet the light.

There are also radishes in the cellar, cut into large pieces, and gnaw them in your hands - this is called "gnawing spring", but compared to green radish, Xu Wenlan misses the cucumbers of the water and spirit.

The ice skate on the door was dripping, and it was raining, and the shouting of the shaver outside came from afar: "The shaving faucet is coming ......"

It's disrespectful! However, on the second day of February, even the emperor will understand.

In the first month, it is not allowed to shave the head and trim the hair, especially those who have an uncle, the legend is that the uncle will die if he shaves his head in the first month, no, as soon as the first month comes out, they love to shave their heads on the second day of February.

The shaver who has been idle for a month walks through the streets and alleys, and this is the kind of money he earns.

After the second day of February, the days are getting warmer and warmer day by day, and after eating spring cakes and nibbling on spring, spring is really coming quietly.

It rained on the day of the sting, the thunder shook the sky, but the rain was not big, it turned into snow halfway through, the sleet fell for a long time, the ground was wet and muddy, a group of children didn't care about being clean and buried, they still ran in the rain, rolled in the mud, had a good time, who went home and was scolded by the mother with his ears?

After Qingming, the weather will be warmer, but at this time can not do farm work, for a while until April, that is, the appearance of May in the Gregorian calendar, the grass is sharp, the willow tree is green, so that the cattle plough the land, Zhu still refuses to let Bai Yingkui go to the ground, but Bai Yingkui can sit still, just grind and go down to the ground with the old man.

Then it was time to plant wheat, and Xu Wenlan was still curious: "Don't grow rice?" How good is rice? ”

Bai Yingkui listened to it straightforwardly, and Bai Shengwu looked at her with "you stupid" eyes.

Bai Shengwen was still good-tempered, and patiently explained: "The weather here is not suitable for growing rice, and I haven't heard of any family growing rice within a radius of hundreds of miles." ”

Why doesn't it fit? Modern Black Province is a good place to produce rice, and high-quality rice is more expensive than usual!

What a pity! She didn't study agriculture, otherwise she would have studied hybrid rice, and she would have made a fortune!

In the spring, the adults are busy with spring ploughing, and every household is busy farming, and the land that has been silent for a winter is a lively scene.

If a poet will write a poem, if a painter must paint a "Spring Ploughing Map", not to mention, Xu Wenlan bumped into Mu Donghua in the field that day, and I don't know if he came to paint "Spring Ploughing Map".

Xu Wenlan talked to him, he just turned around blankly, and went to the farmer who was half-bent over to sow seeds.

Maybe artists are like that, right?

Xu Wenlan stopped shouting, and roared away with his friends.

Adults are busy farming, and children are naturally busy on this sunny spring day.

The boys were busy playing, and the spring wind was strong, and they were running all over the world with kites, and their faces were flushed and fluttering like a race.

The girl is much more well-behaved, and from the moment the grass is at the tip, she is already thinking about the work of digging wild vegetables.

At this time, the wind is still strong, there is no shelter in the wild earth, and the wind blows a little stinging on the face, but it is because of this wind that everything is vibrant.

If it weren't for the strong wind, how could the ice on the river melt? How can spring come?

"Wen Lan, you eat this." Bai Cao'er raised her hand, happy.

Xu Wenlan tilted her head and stared at her hand: "This-it's grassroots, right?" ”

Didn't you say that you would dig wild vegetables? How do you feed her grass roots?

"It's sweet! This newly grown grass root is really sweet......" Bai Cao'er smiled and raised her hand again.

Looking at the grass roots that Bai Cao'er picked up in her hands, Xu Wenlan couldn't refuse her kindness, so she could only close her eyes and eat it - hey, not to mention, this grass root is sweet and delicious, and the grass smell she thought was not the same at all.

"This way—grass, come on, there are a lot of mothers-in-law here."

With a promise, Bai Cao'er got up and ran fast with the basket.

Xu Wenlan also hurriedly picked up a small digging knife and chased after him.

followed to dig wild vegetables, Xu Wenlan just joined in the fun, at her level, it was really not enough to see.

Not to mention that the speed can't keep up, and I don't know those wild vegetables well, so from time to time I have to raise the wild vegetables in my hand and ask, "Is this one?" Can you eat it? ”

annoyed Brother Bai Dai, so he simply threw her to Bai Cao'er and ran ahead first.

In the spring, there are many wild plants in the fields.

Xu Wenlan followed for a few days, but he probably recognized a few of them.

The most common is the carain cabbage, which is everywhere, the scientific name plantain, can be eaten as a wild vegetable, and can also be used as medicine, but the taste is not as good as that of the mother-in-law.

Most of the wild vegetables are medicinal herbs at the same time, the cabbage is, so is the mother-in-law, the mother-in-law is the dandelion, the name of the black water side, the new sprouts that have just sprouted are called the mother-in-law, and when they grow old, they are dandelions.

In the spring, the newly haired mother-in-law has just revealed a sharp point, and the green is still yellow, and she wants to dig the small digging knife deeper and bring out a long white stalk.

At this time, the mother-in-law is the most delicious, the fragrance is slightly bitter with a hint of sweet aftertaste, and after a few days, it will grow into more bitterness, and when it blooms and grows old, it becomes a dandelion, and basically no one eats it.

Xu Wenlan's technique is not good, digging mother-in-law Ding is always digging and breaking, half of the root is still left in the soil, and the half in his hand is pitifully small, unlike Bai Dai Brother and Bai Cao'er, a dig is a whole root, and the soil is called a beautiful one when it is wiped out of Bai Shengsheng.

This mother-in-law's dipping sauce is the most delicious, clearing away heat and defeating fire, and it is a must-eat wild vegetable in spring for every household in Heishui.

Farmers like the Bai family, most of them dig their own food, and some families are not too rich, and the little daughter-in-law digs up baskets with half-grown children, picks them up and takes them to the county to sell, which is also an income.

In addition to the mother-in-law, there is also koji hemp cabbage, which is slightly more bitter than the mother-in-law, but I feel delicious when I am used to eating it.

Another small root of garlic, not as spicy as garlic, but has the taste of garlic, is essential to eat with dipping sauce.

At this time, the wild vegetable as popular as the mother-in-law is the shepherd's cabbage, which is generally not eaten with sauce, but is eaten in dumplings, so fresh that you have to bite off your tongue.

However, for Xu Wenlan, eating wild vegetables is delicious, but more fun still comes from picking.

In modern times, you can enjoy the pleasure of farming for a long time, but you can enjoy it all over here without spending half a dime.

Digging up a mother-in-law with your own hands is no less satisfying than getting a job done in modern times.

I dug a lot, and when I closed my eyes at night, I seemed to be able to see patches of mother-in-law.

and Brother Bai Ribbon said, was a good joke: "In a few days, I will take you up the mountain to dig bracken, well, you can also go to the blister to pick willow sprouts, I don't know if the milk house is reluctant to buy pork ribs, just don't stew pork ribs, buy a big bone stew is delicious......"
