Chapter 19: Wild Vegetable Cakes

Following Aunt Lu up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, Cui'er was in a very good mood, firstly because she knew a lot of people in the village, and secondly, because she brought back the wild vegetables and ate them with the food at home, which could last for two days.

While digging wild vegetables, Cui'er was glad that she had a pair of heavenly feet, although her feet were not big, but she was still able to walk on this rugged mountain road without experiencing the binding of all evils.

"Qingshan daughter-in-law, I see that your hands are as tender as shallots, and you haven't worked much at home, have you?" Digging wild vegetables, Aunt Chunzhu saw that Cui'er's hands were white and tender, and her fingers were as thin as shallots, so she couldn't help asking.

Aunt Chunzhu still held back a sentence and didn't ask, the head of the family is so painful that she doesn't even let her do the work, how can she be willing to sell her daughter to this deep mountain and old forest?

"Well, I really can't dig wild vegetables." Cui'er said sincerely, in the past life and in this life, even with the memory of the original owner, Cui'er didn't have the experience of not having enough to eat, and went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables to fill her stomach, let alone that, "When I was a child, I worked with the people in the family to make elm money, make cakes or something." ”

"Yu Qian'er, we have it too, but we have to wait a few days." Aunt Lu was still smiling when she saw Cui'er answering, her face was not sour, and she was very fond of it.

"Qingshan's daughter-in-law will come out with us twice more when she is fine, and now there are no vegetables in the garden, and this wild vegetable can also top half a meal, your Qingshan is not in good health, and you need to eat to raise it."

"Well, auntie, I know." Cui'er nodded seriously, even Qingshan has a kindness to her, and she will help him do something, and when she leaves this backer in the future, she will not have anything to let go.

"Okay, look at you kid, honestly." Aunt Lu saw that Cui'er answered herself seriously, not at all vain, and nodded secretly in her heart, although Qingshan's child had some twists and turns in the front, his life was good, and the two daughters-in-law before and after were good daughters who could work.

"Auntie, you just love Sister Cui'er, you don't hurt me anymore!" Yinhuan came up from behind, threw the handful of newly picked wild vegetables in his hand into Cui'er's basket, and then turned his head and said to Aunt Lu.

"It hurts you, it hurts you...... You guys, I hurt! Aunt Lu laughed at the appearance of the silver ring gag, and the bright laughter echoed in the mountains and forests.

When Cui'er lowered her head to pick wild vegetables, she also looked up from time to time, wanting to find some branches with suitable cores or something, and go back to make crutches for Lian Qingshan to use.

"Cui'er, what are you always looking up and touching?" Yinhuan pulled Cui'er to walk in the mountains, and found that Cui'er not only looked down at the wild vegetables, but also looked up at the trees, and couldn't help but look up too.

"It's nothing, our Qingshan's legs and feet are inconvenient, I will find a suitable branch to come out, make him a pair of crutches, and when he raises it again, he can go to the ground and move." Cui'er was thinking about something, so she said casually.

"Crutches, crutches?" Yinhuan listened to Cui'er's words and said, "What kind of wood do you want?" ”

"Well, it has to be so long......" Cui'er gestured to the right of her shoulder, she calculated, with Lian Qingshan's size, the height of his armpit should be about the same as the height of her shoulder, "What I want to find is such a long forked branch, just two forks, it should be stronger." Cui'er described as she searched left and right.

What Cui'er wants to do is actually the simplest kind of crutches that can be used under the armpit in modern times, there is one at the bottom of the branch, and there are two forks at the top, and when the time comes, nail a horizontal bar of wood on these two forks, and then wrap some old clothes or something, this crutch can be made.

Even Qingshan's leg Cui'er pondered carefully, it should be that he didn't dare to move after being injured, and his muscles were a little atrophied, if he stayed on the kang all the time, this person would be considered a waste. Even if there is really one day when Cui'er can leave this backer, if even Qingshan's health is not good, Cui'er can bear to say that it is not good, she can really throw away this injury and leave by herself.

If you have crutches, it will be different, even Qingshan can move when he usually gets off the kang or something, at least not so that the family of three will starve to death there. If luck had been better and his leg injury had been cured, Cui'er exhaled, if that was the case, she would be able to leave with peace of mind.

"Cui'er, don't worry about this, our woman's family can't find suitable wood, wait for me to go back and talk to our family about the harvest, I'll find it for you!" Yinhuan looked at Cui'er's slightly sad look on her face, and hurriedly said comfortingly.

"It's okay, then thank you Sister Yinhuan!" Cui'er knew that she was weak and weak, if she couldn't do this by herself, if she had a real person in the mountains to help, it would be different, so she didn't shirk immediately, and thanked her seriously.

"Oh, it's a little thing, you can spare your time and take care of your family. It's not easy for you, a woman, to take care of their big and small ones. Yinhuan waved his hand unconcernedly.

Don't look at Yinhuan Lao competing with Cui'er for favor in front of Aunt Lu, she has been digging wild vegetables for so long, but she has always taken care of Cui'er, Cui'er doesn't know how to recognize vegetables, she also teaches, Cui'er picks wild vegetables slowly, she picks two handfuls of wild vegetables for herself, and she will put a handful and a half into Cui'er's basket.

"Alright, it's not early, let's go back!" Aunt Lu looked at the sky, and saw that the baskets of several people were almost full, so she wiped her sweat and said.

"Good!" Cui'er answered, and also straightened up and wiped her sweat, this time the harvest on the mountain was good, a lot of wild vegetables were picked, and even better, Aunt Lu also taught her to recognize several common herbs in the mountains that have an effect on leg injuries, all of which she picked one by one, and was ready to go back to Lian Qingshan to use.

This is not an easy job to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, and Cui'er has just recovered for a few days, so she is naturally more likely to be tired. Of course, these are not the point, the point is that I don't know when it started, Cui'er is very worried about the big and small in the family, I don't know how they are at home, and I want to go back and see it quickly.

"Let's go home!" The four of them talked and laughed and walked down the mountain, because they only picked a basket of wild vegetables, and when they went down the mountain, Aunt Lu took Cui'er around the place where they used to cut pigweed and collect firewood, and no one brought a small bundle of firewood back by the way.

When Cui'er arrived at home, it was almost time to cook, and after seeing that even Qingshan and the children were fine, Cui'er was relieved to wash and pick wild vegetables, some of which were put on a plate for dipping sauce to eat, and some of them were chopped into minced pieces, ready to make a wild vegetable cake, and there were still a lot left, so they were placed in a cool place in the kitchen and kept to eat the next day.

When Cui'er was busy in the kitchen, the big girl lay between the back room and the kitchen, timidly looking at the tender wild vegetables in Cui'er's hands, and after a long time, she mustered up the courage to ask, "What do we eat at night?" ”

"In the evening, let's eat wild vegetable cakes!" Cui'er smiled and said to the big girl, the big girl was soft and tender, and she was cute, "Does the big girl like to eat cakes?" ”

"Yes, I like it!" When the big girl heard that there were cakes to eat, she nodded happily, and her two big eyes were shining.

"If you like it, I'll give the girl delicious cakes at night." While talking to the big girl, Cui'er scooped two bowls of bud rice noodles from her noodle pocket, added cold water and stirred it into a slightly dry batter, woke up slightly for a while, put some salt in it, and put the chopped wild vegetables in it.

After preparing the batter, Cui'er began to cook on the fire, the red flame burned happily in the stove, Cui'er cooked some sweet potato-flavored bud rice paste in the cauldron, and then kneaded the dough with wild vegetables in her hand to knead it into a ball, and then pasted two circles of cakes on the top of the bud rice paste.

After a while, the sweet fragrance of bud rice noodles mixed with the aroma of wild vegetables wafted out, Cui'er opened the lid of the pot, and after a burst of steaming heat, the sweet wild vegetable cakes came out of the pot!
