Chapter 01: Becoming a Peasant Girl

Next Chapter

The sun shines warmly on the autumn afternoon, and it is comfortable to sleep.

In the courtyard of the Shen family in Taoyuan Village, Shen Anan held his chin with his hand and looked up at the blue sky overhead.

Although it was still that day, and the clouds were still so blue, she was no longer the carefree girl.

Because Shen Anan went from a modern young girl in her twenties to a thirteen-year-old little Lori from a farmer's family. Unwillingly, unwillingly, she has been here for more than 20 days, she has barely eaten a full meal, and she sleeps on a hard bed with a sore back in her diaphragm, which will not even have the strength to walk.

"Hey! This thief, when will I wear it again. Shen Anan muttered in his mouth, but his subordinates did not stop. The sun shone on her thin little body, making people's hearts inexplicably sour. She wore a patched autumn shirt, but her small appearance was good. This dress is still Shen An'an's eldest sister, and Shen Anhui's old clothes when she got married were changed to small ones for her to wear. This dress is torn like this, and I am reluctant to throw it away, which shows how bad the conditions in this home are.

Ay! Shen Anan sighed again in his mouth, occasionally raised his hand, and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with the back of his unsoiled hand, but the movements in his hand sped up a little. When I looked closely, I realized that she was rummaging carefully, and there was a pile of yellow rhizomes in front of her.

She examined each rhizome as if it were a treasure, and removed the black soil from the stem. Then use a rag head to wipe off the yellow rhizomes and place them to dry in the sun.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be rhubarb, and it must be at least three years old. I just don't know how much of it will be worth here. "Shen Anan worked in a Chinese medicine pharmacy in his previous life, and it was these Chinese herbs that he dealt with every day. However, most of the herbs she received were concocted Chinese herbs, not freshly dug out of the soil.

These rhubarb were also discovered when she went up the mountain to collect firewood with her little friend Wang Song next door two days ago.

Shen Anan felt that these were like wild rhubarb, so he brought some back one day. Within a few days, there was a lot of piling up in this small courtyard.

Shen Anan felt that if he wanted to change his life here, he had to find a way to earn money, otherwise he could only sit and wait for death.

The original owner's life experience is not good, on the contrary, he is a little sad, just because he was molested by the son of the village chief. It was rumored that she was living an inappropriate life, and then she was inexplicably divorced by her fiancé. And the husband's family is also a scholar from a poor and sour family, hmph, I didn't expect it to be so pedantic.

The original owner couldn't figure it out, he cried and cried, and he made trouble, so the husband's family didn't deny this family business. So the original owner jumped into the river crying. Unexpectedly, she happened to be taken advantage of by the modern beauty Shen An'an, who had a car accident, and after she was rescued, she was sadly shrunk from her twenties to her thirteen-year-old little Lori, and she couldn't go back.

It's a good thing to be younger, but I can't eat enough, I can't dress warmly, I don't talk about hard work every day, and I am poked in the back when I go out.

Shen Anan really thought, his eyes were closed, his legs were kicked, and he could wear it back again.

She muttered as she rummaged through the herbs, completely oblivious to the sudden presence of an extra person behind her. When she found out, she saw that Cao's eyes were already round, and he was yelling at her in a loud voice: "Dead Nizi, what are you doing in a daze, don't go cook quickly." Rummaging through and turning over these broken things, I threw them all into the stove and burned them. ”

Cao is tall, but because she is too thin, she feels a little mean, she is in her Chinese New Year's Eve, wearing coarse cloth clothes, her hair is tied back indiscriminately, and she has a small milk baby in the crook of her arm.

This Cao family is Shen An'an's cheap mother who came to this world. Cao's complexion is also the same dish, and if you look closely, the faces of the two are six or seven points alike. It's all thin eyebrows, willow branches-like waists, but patched clothes and unhealthy complexions on the body, which ruins this beauty.

"Mother, I'll go now." Shen Anan smiled, and then quickly flipped through all the rhubarb.

"I'm still doing it, hurry up. It's too late, your dad is going to starve to death. Cao's voice sounded a little, she held it in her arms, and the two-year-old Shen Anshan suddenly cried loudly in fright.

Cao hurriedly went to coax his youngest son, "Good Xiaoshan, don't cry, don't cry, it's all your second sister's fault, I'll let her make food for you." The Cao family coaxed his youngest son in his mouth, but his eyes glared at Shen An'an. Shen Anan was afraid that Cao's fast hand would reach over again and grab his hair, so he ran faster than a rabbit.

When Shen Anan first came, because he didn't adapt, his reaction was slower, and he was beaten a lot. Now that she has learned to be obedient, seeing that Cao is angry, she either immediately offered good words, or smeared oil on the soles of her feet faster, so she was less beaten.

While Shen An'an was talking, he had already come to the simple kitchen of the Shen family, went to the narrow black corner of the inner room, and pulled out a few sweet potatoes. She took another bowl, scooped up some brown rice noodles, and in the morning she picked some wild vegetables in the field at the head of the village, and prepared to make dinner tonight.

Shen Anan is an independent girl in modern times, working in other cities, so she can cook very early. In addition, she is diligent and studious, and she will ask others for advice on any strange things she eats on weekdays, so after coming here, she will learn how to cook the food here. And she will also use her full imagination to make different ways of eating with the limited ingredients here.

This is also the reason why Cao did not drive Shen Anan to work in the field, and was responsible for the family's three meals a day every day. The original owner, Shen An'an, is also a capable person, but his brain is not as fast as the current Shen An'an's brain.

Seeing that the weather is dry today, everyone is very tired from work, and they may have a bad appetite. So Shen Anan thought of changing a trick to cook some food for his family.

She first made a pot of thick vegetable porridge. The recipe for vegetable porridge is very simple, it is nothing more than putting some rice, and then putting some chopped vegetables. If you don't have greens, it's the same with some wild herbs and sprinkle with salt. When the porridge is about to be cooked, add a few drops of sesame oil and you're done.

However, their rice bowl is close to the bottom, and it is said that it is vegetable porridge, but it is actually a wild vegetable soup with a clear soup and little water, and there are not many rice grains floating in it. But this is also the Shen family's favorite vegetable porridge.

The highlight of what Shen Anan wants to do today is on these sweet potatoes. It's always these dry sweet potatoes, and she can't swallow them anymore. So if she wants to eat better, she has to find a way to come up with some tricks.

Shen Anan first cooked the sweet potatoes, and when the sweet potatoes were fully cooked, he then pounded them with chopsticks, then stirred the brown rice noodles and water, and then accompanied them with the mashed ripe sweet potatoes to make them semi-dry and sticky.

If you want the sweet potato and brown rice noodles to blend quickly, you can add some hot water appropriately, knead it again, and wait for the noodles and sweet potatoes to fully blend together, and then knead them into a ball, about one circle smaller than the egg, which is the so-called sweet potato balls.

Sweet potato balls are steamed and eaten in soup. After steaming, put it there and eat it for a few days without spoiling. And the taste is sweet with a hint of glutinousness, which is much better than eating dried sweet potatoes.

Shen Anan was sweating profusely and rubbing sweet potato balls, only to hear a slight call outside the courtyard wall. "Sister An, is Sister An here?"
