Chapter 15 The snail

Lin Yuan didn't catch up with anyone, so he quickly put this matter behind him. He has to take over the work, and he has to save money to buy grain and land deeds, and he is really busy. Wen Wan planted flowers and grass all day long, ate and drank leisurely, and from time to time carried her little town around the city.

On this day, as soon as the mother and son came back from the town after eating the big meat bun with their mouths full of oil, Yuanbao ran away like a gust of wind, "A-Niang, you are obediently at home, and I will come back at lunch." ”

"Slow down, don't go to the fields!" Wen Wan chased after her and hurriedly shouted.

"Got it, got it." Yuan Bao shook his hand at her mother without looking back, and her small body still rushed forward like a cannonball.

When her son ran away and couldn't see, Wen Wan took the key from behind the courtyard gate and opened the door. You don't have to think about it to know that her little boy must be eating with his good brothers.

Whoever gets something good, he will always give it to others to taste. If someone gave him something to eat, he would bring it back to Wen Wan to taste if he tasted it.

If he meets someone who is not well-off and can't eat enough, he will be sad for a long time with red eyes and holding the bowl, and then learn from his father to send some rice and noodles to others every once in a while.

Wen Wan shook her head helplessly, everything is with his father, if the dragon gives birth to a dragon, the phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and the son born of a mouse will make a hole!

In the evening, Lin Yuan returned home, took out the title deed from his arms and handed it to Wen Wan, and the village chief, who didn't know how he persuaded him, really let him buy the river that the villagers used to wash rice and laundry.

Wen Wan was overjoyed, she patted her husband on the head, and stood on tiptoe to kiss him as a reward, before carefully putting the title deed into her arms, humming a song to make dinner for the father and son.

The father and son shrunk the table and bit their ears, "A-Niang is very happy today!" ”

"She, see the money!" Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"Auntie, what is the eye for money?" If his mother doesn't understand, she has to ask.

Wen Wan rolled her eyes: Hehe, ignorant man. Do you know sauerkraut fish? Do you know spicy prawns? Do you know osmanthus glutinous rice lotus?

Speaking of lotus roots, she had to go to the Huichun Hall in the city to buy some lotus seeds. Originally, there was no lotus root in China, which was imported from India, and now most of it is made into medicine for nourishing the spleen, stomach and internal organs.

In addition, lotus root planting is a technical job, and she had only seen a neighbor plant it in her previous life, so she could only try her luck.

On the second day, she asked Lin Yuan to go to the town to buy a lot of small fish and shrimp and throw them into the river, and went to Chrysanthemum's house to pick up two litters of chickens and ducks to raise. She tried to invigorate the lotus seeds and then sowed them into the river, waiting for the lotus leaves to come out of the water a month later.

These lotus seeds can be planted all year round, so she is not worried about failure, and she will not be able to plant them again!

But the people in the village saw it and smashed their mouths with worry. Which family in the village doesn't farm honestly, isn't it to engage in lotus root, fish and shrimp? You can still hear the sound of silver being thrown into the water! After marrying such a daughter-in-law, the ancestors can really get up from the grave angrily.

They shook their heads and sighed, waiting to see Lin Yuan's regret as they cried and wiped their tears.

The village chief also made the two people confused, and urgently asked Lin Yuan and his father to persuade him, but he couldn't let the baby go the wrong way! Old man Lin and his family couldn't do anything, and his son said that it was his idea to contract this river. After taking his son's silver taels, he can't jump out and point at him and say that he is a loser, right?

I can only turn a blind eye and toss with them, touching my aching heart and constantly comforting myself, it's better than others eating and gambling all day long and selling fields, right?

Only Yuan Bao was so happy that he couldn't sleep, he went to see his river every day, and took over the work of feeding chickens and ducks every day. Beckoning friends to serve the chickens and ducks attentively, while facing the flocks of chickens and ducks and the river saliva.

Wen Wan assigned the work to the two men in the family, and she salivated at the small river and remembered the snails. The snails in autumn are the fattest, Lin Yuan is not interested, and no one in the village eats them.

So she had to carry a wooden bucket by herself, go to the river and touch it in the shallow water for a day, and only then did she touch a bucket of snails and come out. Nature is the magical Creator, and it makes the snail design fat and delicious!

Early the next morning, gently rinse the snails dripping with sesame oil with water, and then cut off the buttocks of the snails with scissors and cook them over high heat. Then take out the snail and remove the cover, the soft flesh of the snail has internal organs, so only the harder end can be taken.

After preparing these, she mixes the pork and the snail meat and chops them into a bowl, then pours wine, green onion and ginger, soy sauce, salt, a spoonful of sesame oil, and homemade chicken essence. Stir with chopsticks clockwise, then pour it into the snail shell and add bell pepper to braised it, this is the delicious snail stuffed meat.

By the time the gravy is boiled into the shell, it is already fragrant and wafts out. People passing by here are snorting and envious, Yuanzi, this mother-in-law has no other skills, but this cooking is really seductive!

Xiao Yuanbao couldn't wait to take his bowl and chopsticks and wait, and when the snail stuffed meat was on the table, he scooped it up with a spoon and put it in his mouth, but he was reluctant to spit it out.

The cyan snails and minced meat blend perfectly. Take a sip, "squeak", the rich juice squirts out and overflows the mouth, take chopsticks to pick out the meat in the snail, the salty aroma of the meat filling and the deliciousness of the snail meat, the most rice.

The ingots ate deliciously, dancing and sprinkling a table full of vegetables. Because of the need to cultivate children's self-care ability, Wen Wan never allowed anyone to feed him, but only gave him wooden dishes and chopsticks to pick a table with him, although the ingots taught in this way are squeamish but not capricious.

Wen Wan also took a snail and took a sip, squinting her eyes to enjoy it, this is the taste, and her jaw dropped! She loved to study and cook in her last life, and this is the best thing she did, and she can give her a man a taste later.

Urging the ingots to finish eating, she took the vegetable basket and was going to deliver food to the man. Although this house is for eating, the taste is average, and although Lin Yuan is not picky, he doesn't eat much.

This time the work happened to be not far from the village, so Wen Wan tried to make him eat better. Giving the ingots to his grandmother to watch, Wen Wan took the village's ox cart and went on the road. Yuan Bao hugged his grandmother Baba and asked her to come back to pick him up early.

He has been in poor health since he was a child, and everyone loves him very much, and his family treats him as a pain in the eyeballs. No matter where the delicious food is, always give it to him first. If he coughs, he can even pick the stars and the moon.

But when no one saw it, the children in the old house secretly pinched Yuanbao's arm, beat him on the back, and even hit him with a sharp pebble, scolding him for being a sick seedling behind his back. He didn't know what the sick seedling was, but he knew that it was not a good word, so he only went to the village to play with his friends but never came to the old house.

These gentlemen didn't know that she was opening the food box and calling her man to eat. Lin Yuan picked up the snail and ate it happily with steamed rice, took a bite of the rice, and screamed fragrant! I'm used to eating gentle craftsmanship, and the others are a little difficult to eat.

"You're just in time, I've bought you something," he said, putting the bowl and pulling something out of his sleeve.

Wen Wan took it and opened it, it was a butterfly golden hairpin wrapped in a blue cloth handkerchief, and the two butterflies on the hairpin were lifelike and ready to fly.

"I remember that the third sister-in-law used to wear a gold head to face your face, how can my mother-in-law not have something that others have? This 100 taels of butterfly hairpins is easy to see, right? He winked at her, his face full of smugness and pride.

"We can't buy it here, it's the jewelry I asked someone to buy from there," he said, pointing to the north, referring to the city of Beijing.

Wen Wan was both moved and surprised. At the beginning, a few days after the third sister-in-law showed off her golden head, Lin Yuan was afraid that she would be envious, so she secretly went to the silver jewelry shop, and became an apprentice for a month before she hit a sterling silver concentric step with a wounded hand and sent her, and she has been a treasure for four years.

She thought it was already good, but she didn't expect him to still think about buying her gold.

Wen Wan smiled with red eyes, "Put it on me."

Lin Yuan hurriedly took the silver one and helped her replace it with the gold one, and looked left and right, "It's good-looking, my Wanniang is the best!" ”

He often said this sentence, and she often heard it. After five years of marriage, he never said that he loved her, and as soon as he tried to make him say a little fleshy, he would blush. But he always told her with his actions: he loved her and regarded her as a treasure.

Before she was moved, Wen Wan woke up and said, "One hundred taels?" Where did you get a hundred taels? Did you move the cash box? Or are you hiding private money behind my back? All right! You've got itchy skin, aren't you? “

Lin Yuan was busy shaking his head like a rattle, waving his hands, "No, no, no, don't dare, don't dare!" Hey, are you tired? Shall I give you a thump on the shoulder? This is the snail sent today? Fragrant! Delicious! Very good to eat."

Wen Wan knew that he didn't care if he diverted the topic, so she sat on the steps and leaned on his shoulder with a satisfied smile, "Wanwan with a husband is a treasure, I will earn it if I marry Ah Yuan." ”

Lin Yuan put his arm around her, looked at the blue sky, snow-white clouds, and smiled, "It's good to know!" ”

Where did Lin Yuan get his private money? This 100 taels is the money he saved in four years. He is very happy to make Wen Wan happy!
