Liu Qingyan thinks that although the family is poor, it is not a good thing to live happily. Money is omnipotent but also evil, which can make people actively and enterprisingly live the days of heaven on earth, and can also make people willing to fall into a situation from which they will never recover.

This is not because she has a cold heart, but in her previous life, she has thoroughly analyzed human nature, many people can share hardships but may not be able to share joys and sorrows, unite as one when they are in trouble, and ignore sibling affection for the sake of wealth There are countless examples.

Qiaozhen told Liu Qingyan that the village on the other side of the river is called Maozhuping, and there are many thatched bamboos growing on the mountain, while the mountains on this side of Huangzhuao are mainly yellow bamboos, and there are few thatched bamboos, and the bamboos are all ownerless, and whoever wants to use them to cut them is.

After resting on the mountain for a while, he went down the mountain, ready to dig bamboo shoots and catch bamboo rats.

Dawu, Xiaowu and Yong went to catch bamboo rats, Qiaozhen and Liu Qingyan dug bamboo shoots, and Qiaozhen was responsible for digging Liu Qingyan and picking them up and putting them in the basket.

When the three people who caught the bamboo shoots came back, the bamboo shoots had already been dug up.

Today, I caught four bamboo rats, two large and two small, and it seems to be a nest. The big one weighs five or six pounds, and the smaller one weighs more than two pounds.

After a lot of gains, the group happily went home.

By the waterhole, Liu Qingyan saw that the water in the pool was clear, and said that she would peel and wash the bamboo shoots here and then go back.

Several people worked together, peeled and washed with tacit understanding, and it was quickly cleaned up.

When he got home, Cai saw the bamboo rat he caught, smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and remembered that the ingredients for making bamboo rat meat at home were not enough, so he called Yong Lingzi and Qiao Mei to go to Sangu's house to get some, and by the way, let Sangu's family come over for dinner at noon.

The third daughter of the Xie family is named Xiaoyu, and she married in this village.

Yong Yanzi and Qiao Mei jumped up, and after a while, they came over with the third aunt's family of four, still carrying some vegetables in their hands.

Xie Xiaoyu is two years younger than Xie, and his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Xie's, the man is an honest and loyal man, and he gave birth to two sons, the eldest is ten years old and the younger is seven years old.

This time, the courtyard of the Xie family was lively, and a few people ran around the yard with the big yellow dog, and finally the big yellow dog was annoyed and ran out of the courtyard.

The men stopped working, and sat or squatted in the yard, chatting casually about the fields and crops.

Dawu Xiaowu took a kitchen knife and a bamboo rat to slaughter the bamboo rat in the ditch, and when he came back, several babies shouted: "Eat meat, there is meat to eat." And followed to the stove room, and was blasted out by the ladies in the stove room.

Liu Qingyan and Qiaozhen took a knife to cut bamboo shoots, and some of the bamboo shoots were too old to be removed, and a few people who hated dogs gathered around to join in the fun.

The bamboo shoots were processed and put aside, this could not be done until the afternoon, and now the pot in the stove room is empty.

Today's noon dish is mainly bamboo rat meat, braised and stewed, a table with two large pots, the ten-year-old man was arranged to eat on the men's table, and the three women at this table were noisy, and they were scolded by the mothers, and slapped their buttocks twice before eating honestly.

After eating, after the stove room was free, Liu Qingyan and Qiaozhen began to make dried bamboo shoots.

What Liu Qingyan wants to make is multi-flavored dried bamboo shoots, which is an excellent snack to accompany tea. The nature of tea is pure, elegant and simple, which is similar to the character of bamboo and high wind and bright festival, all of which are elegant things, and the two complement each other.

To make multi-flavored dried bamboo shoots, you need oil, salt, sugar, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, dried chili peppers and other seasonings.

Hearing that Liu Qingyan wanted to use these ingredients to make dried bamboo shoots, the Xie family felt that it was novel, but the Xie family was afraid that the girl would waste things, and her mother's family was no better than the Liu family, and these things also cost money to buy, and they couldn't stand the toss.

In the end, when the family Xie Laohan made a decision, he said that it didn't matter, no matter how poor the family was, it would not be bad for these money, so that Liu Qingyan could do it with confidence.

The third aunt also said that there are still some of these two things at home, so she brought them over, so after leading the men and sons home, she asked them to send them over.

The ingredients for making multi-flavored dried bamboo shoots are finally complete, and the project begins.

Driven by strong curiosity, they all crowded into the stove room to chatter, and even Dawu Xiaowu came to see the excitement, but it really didn't take so many people to make bamboo shoots, so Liu Qingyan had to invite them out, leaving only Xiaowu to help light the fire.

Put fresh bamboo shoots in a pot with enough water, bring to a boil over high heat, wait until all the bamboo shoots are cooked and boiled thoroughly, remove the cold water, and then tear them into thin strips.

Heat the wok, pour in a small amount of oil and heat it out, then put the star anise and cinnamon into the pot over low heat to stir out the fragrance, pour in an appropriate amount of water, put in the bay leaves and dried chili peppers, boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat.

Because of the insufficient amount of ingredients, Liu Qingyan only cooked half of the bamboo shoots according to the amount of ingredients, and the remaining bamboo shoots could only be eaten as dishes.

When the soup in the pot is almost cooked, remove the spices inside, add salt and sugar to boil, and then put the bamboo shoots torn into thin strips and cook them together.

Cook until the soup in the pot is dry, pour in the oil that has been boiled first, stir-fry evenly and then fry until the water is dry, and remove from the pot.

Every step, Liu Qingyan asked Qiaozhen to watch carefully from the side and keep it in mind.

Now there is still the last step left for dried bamboo shoots, drying.

Take down the pot on the stove, add a thin sliver to it, and continue to bake it over the charcoal fire that just burned the wood, so that the excess water can evaporate.

The last step is not too important, the degree of dryness and wetness is arbitrary, depending on personal taste, and it is just dried and stored for a longer time.

After the dried bamboo shoots were made, Liu Qingyan tasted it, it was not bad, and she was sure that she would do it better if she did it a few more times.

Making dried bamboo shoots is a time-consuming task, and this one is busy from noon to the sun is about to set, and there are not many finished products made from so many bamboo shoots, but only a plate.

Brought out the dried bamboo shoots to everyone to taste, and everyone praised them repeatedly, especially a few little guys, who reached out to grab a handful of them and divided them.

Cai shouted: "My mother, I have never known that bamboo shoots have this way to eat bamboo shoots after eating bamboo shoots for so many years, and I don't know how my niece came up with it." This is the one who has read the book and is smart. It's me, and I can't think of such a particular way to eat in my life. ”

Cai's man Xie Chungui said: "You only know that you can see others do it yourself, and that braincase is the same as a pig's braincase, and you can come up with a very good idea." ”

Cai scolded back: "I'm a pig braincase, and your braincase is not necessarily better than mine, can you think of it?" It's not that I can't think of it. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Xie Chungui's already red face turned even redder, and he laughed wryly.

Liu Qingyan said to Xie Laohan: "Grandpa, if you take this kind of dried bamboo shoots to the city and sell them, can you sell them for money?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the people of the Xie family immediately understood that Liu Qingyan was pointing out a way to make money to them! This method of making dried bamboo shoots is unheard of, after tasting the fragrance of the teeth and cheeks, the unique flavor makes people want to eat again, they can't stop at all, if they don't do too much to let the servants grab most of it, they also want to eat again.

Xie Laohan immediately asked the women to go to the stove room to cook dinner, and the men discussed the plan in the hall.

"Yan girl, how did you come up with such a delicate method of making dried bamboo shoots?" Xie Laohan smiled excitedly.

With this unique secret recipe for bamboo shoots, it is difficult for their family to be poor, unless they are stupid enough to spread the method to others.

Liu Qingyan blinked her clear and pure eyes and replied: "Grandpa, I usually like to study how to make dishes delicious when I have nothing to do, and these bamboo shoots are also vegetables, I think that the dishes can do this, and the bamboo shoots must be able to do the same. ”

"Knowing everything and saying it well, only a reader can say such a thing." Old man Xie stroked his beard and nodded frequently.

The recipe for making multi-flavored dried bamboo shoots was obtained by Liu Qingyan in her grandfather's house in her previous life, which is a tourist attraction for ethnic minorities, and every household will make it and sell it to tourists, the recipe is not a secret at all, I didn't think it would come in handy in this life.

This recipe is enough to make the Xie family get rid of poverty and become well-off, it is impossible to get rich and expensive, the production process is not complicated, just find a gluttony to taste it can analyze the ingredients of the formula, and you can do it several times if you try it a few times, at most there are some differences in taste.

In the Xie Jiatang house, everyone was discussing how to dig bamboo shoots, how to sell them, and allocate manpower to make dried bamboo shoots. This year's bamboo shoot period is not long, and we must hurry up.

Liu Qingyan did not intervene in these things, but just mentioned them at the right time, asked the Xie family to go to the teahouse to cooperate, and gave a reference price for selling dried bamboo shoots.

By the time dinner was served, all matters had basically been discussed.

At this time, Liu Qingyan knew that her uncle Xie Qiugui had also read books and could recognize words, so she went to write down the recipe for making multi-flavored dried bamboo shoots, how many bamboo shoots were used, how many ingredients, and various proportions were written in detail.

Before going to bed at night, when Liu Qingyan talked to Qiaozhen about multi-flavored dried bamboo shoots, she told Qiaozhen that dried bamboo shoots can also be made into other flavors, such as dried green beans and dried peanuts, just put peanuts and green beans in the final cooking of bamboo shoots.

Qiaozhen's eyes flashed and she listened very seriously, and she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, she didn't have to change her relatives when she earned money at home, and she would have to rely on her in-laws in the future.

This is also the reason why Liu Qingyan wants to teach Qiaozhen to make bamboo shoots, she can't bear to watch Qiaozhen go to change relatives, in case she changes to a bad husband's family, it is equivalent to jumping into the fire pit, Qiaozhen is a weak girl, and in the end it can only be a tragic ending. With more of this craft, even if you marry an ordinary family in the future, you can be valued by your husband's family and live a better life.

When I woke up early the next morning, only Qiaomei was still in bed, and Qiaozhen was gone. Later, I learned that Qiao Zhen Tianmeng was bright and went to dig bamboo shoots with her family, and the Xie family also sent people to the city to buy various spices, leaving only the little aunt to make breakfast and Mrs. Xie, who was unable to move, and Qiao Mei, who was too young.

After breakfast, Xie saw that Mrs. Xie was able to get out of bed and move, so he led his daughter back to Baishui Village.

After staying for two nights, it is time to go back, after all, it is already the Liu family, and her mother-in-law is generous, she should know how to be grateful, and the bamboo shoots have made her mother's family have a head, so she can rest assured.

Back at Whitewater Village, it's almost time for lunch.
