Chapter 129: No Poison
Mao Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then thank you, the famous chefs of Zhenyulou have praised you for your high talent in cooking, and you will definitely be able to make delicious ducks." You can test those two ducks first, and if it's not enough, your aunt will send some over. Xiaocao, please! ”
"Auntie, are we still polite? However, we have to explain first, if we succeed, then the recipe will be mine. As for your family's duck sales, I can help you mention it to Qian Xiaoduo. Yu Xiaocao's ugly words were in his head.
Mao's is not unreasonable, she nodded frequently: "That's natural, it should be so!" You can help me get rid of the ducks at home, my aunt is already very grateful. If you covet the recipe you come up with, is it still human? ”
After sending off Mao, who had thanked her repeatedly, Yu Xiaocao entered the house, and in the face of a room of "interrogation" eyes, she honestly briefly said Mao's intention.
After hearing this, Liu sighed and said: "Folks, even if you don't bring something over when you encounter difficulties, you won't care." But grass, are you sure you can come up with a dish made with duck? ”
Yu Hai stopped her and said, "Mu Yun, don't put pressure on the child!" Our grass is not a shallow-eyed person, if she didn't have any clue, she wouldn't easily accept those ducks and duck eggs! ”
Xiaolian smiled and said, "Little sister, sleep well tonight." Maybe someone will teach you how to make ducks and duck eggs in your dreams! ”
The family was talking and laughing together, and from time to time there was a burst of hearty or sweet laughter.
In the end, it was the patriarch Yu Hai who spoke: "Hurry up and go to bed!" Spring ploughing will begin tomorrow. Ming'er Xiaocao went to the dock and drove Xiao Ash to go. I, your mother and Xiaolian, go and turn over the three acres of sandy land! ”
"Dad, is our field still growing sweet potatoes?" Yu Xiaocao asked casually.
Yu Hai touched her soft hair and said softly, "What do you grow without planting sweet potatoes?" Other crops don't yield as much in sandy soil! ”
Yu Xiaocao suddenly asked: "Sandy land is the most suitable for growing watermelons." Dad, I wonder if I can get watermelon seeds? ”
"Watermelon? I haven't heard of it. Or...... Tomorrow I'll go to the grain store in town and ask? Yu Hai has unconditional trust in his daughter. Even if I haven't heard of something, I want to help my daughter achieve it as much as possible.
Yu Xiaocao didn't hold out much hope. Watermelon is not food, so how can there be its seeds in the grain store?
Nothing was said all night. The next day, when the first rays of dawn shone on the vegetable seedlings in the courtyard, the Yu family had already risen. Yu Xiaocao thought that when Qian Xiaoduo came, he would ask him to give a message to Wednesday, so it was still Xiaolian who went to the dock. I have been to Shaojing on Wednesday, and I am well-informed, so I should know watermelon. It would be even better if I could help buy melon seeds.
Yu Hai felt that the family would come to buy vegetables for a while, and he couldn't leave it alone, so he left his little daughter at home. (Yu Hang: Am I not human?) )
Not long after, Fang came over with his two daughters, and when he entered the door, he asked, "Are you still picking those vegetables in the backyard today?" ”
"Aunt Zhou, you see that you come to help every day, I really don't want to go!" Yu Xiaocao said politely with a grateful tone.
"Xiaocao, you're angry when you say this! Neighbors should help each other to take it. If it weren't for you, our chickens wouldn't be able to sell! There are a few hens holding cubs at home now, and now they have nothing to do, and they are idle, so come and see if they can help! Fang's and Liu's are best friends who have a good relationship, and they took out the posture of "the family doesn't talk to the two families", blocking Xiaocao with nothing to say.
Zhou Linglong pursed her lips quietly and smiled, picked up the bamboo basket in the courtyard, and went to the backyard. Zhou Shanshan, who was a little younger, joked: "Xiaocao, if you feel embarrassed, make something delicious in the future and send us a bowl!" ”
The little girl still remembers the deliciousness of the stewed tofu with chicken blood last time, and thinks that the stew that her mother is good at is not as good as the stew made of simple ingredients. It's also a potential snack item.
While he was talking, Mao also came in. Before entering the courtyard, I heard her hearty voice: "I'm not late, am I?" Is this about to be picked? ”
"Mao? What are you doing here? Fang asked strangely. Usually Mao has never taken the initiative to help anyone, this sun has come out in the west?
Mao rolled his eyes at her and said, "What? Why don't you come to help? It's all neighbors, why can't I come? ”
Fang Shi knew her style of speaking, and still said gently, "I didn't mean that? You have a lot of family affairs, but Mu Yun won't say anything if you come. ”
"Alright, alright! Let's get to work! Mao picked up a bamboo basket and followed the little sisters of the Zhou family to the backyard.
Seeing the vegetables that are rising gratifyingly, Mao couldn't help but exclaim: "Xiaocao, your family is really good at serving vegetable fields." Look at the vegetables planted, how gratifying! My family's planting time is similar to yours, and I also use grass to keep warm, but it doesn't grow as well as yours! Last time, when it was cold, our family didn't have time to cover the grass and weed, and a lot of them froze to death at once. A lot of the dishes haven't slowed down until now. ”
"Not really! Our family's dishes are not as good as Mu Yun's dishes! Mu Yun was a good hand at cleaning up the fields when he was in his mother's house! Fang also echoed, and kept picking the cucumbers on the shelf in his hands. The watery cucumber exudes an attractive fragrance that makes it refreshing to look at.
Yu Xiaocao smiled faintly, squatted down, and picked the eggplant into the basket. The air at the foot of the mountain is good, and the eggplant is clean and refreshing, and there is no need to wash it with water at all.
Zhou Shan picked an early-ripening tomato and exclaimed, "What is this?" Persimmons? But don't all persimmons grow on trees? ”
Yu Xiaocao explained her doubts softly: "It looks like a persimmon, but it is not a persimmon." It is called tomato, which came from Fanbang, and is also called wolf peach. You taste it, it's sweet and sour, and the taste is okay! ”
She thought that tomatoes had not yet been introduced to Huaxia at this time, so she only took a bite before Wednesday Shaomen, but she didn't expect Sanshao to really get the seeds. Due to the late planting, only one or two ripe fruits can now be found occasionally.
"Wolf Peach? It turns out that Wolf Peach is like this! "Zhou Sango's father and eldest brother are both runners, and they naturally have more knowledge than ordinary people.
Zhou Linglong heard the sound and snatched the tomato from Xiaomei's hand, and said to Xiaocao: "My father said that wolf peaches are poisonous, and rich people only use them for ornamentation." What do you do with this? ”
Yu Xiaocao also found a ripe tomato, wiped it with his sleeve, and took a big bite despite the Zhou sisters' stopping. The sweet juice suddenly overflowed her mouth, and the tomatoes watered by the spirit stone water tasted better than what she had eaten in her previous life, and they could be eaten as fruits.
"It's fine!" Facing the frightened gaze of the Zhou sisters, Xiaocao smiled, revealing her white and neat teeth, "Wednesday in Zhenyulou said less, ripe tomatoes are not poisonous." They also use tomatoes for cooking! ”
She pushed out the three young men of the Zhou family to increase the credibility of her words. As for the people at this time, whether they have discovered the edible value of tomatoes, she doesn't know. However, it will definitely be confirmed later.
"Can you really eat it?" Hearing Xiaocao say this, Zhou Coral already believed most of it. Seeing that Xiaocao had eaten all the wolf peaches, there was still nothing. The Zhou sisters finally believed that wolf peaches could be eaten.
Yu Xiaocao finished eating the tomatoes every day, full of strength, and continued to bend down to pick eggplants. As soon as he looked up, he saw that the Zhou Shan sisters were still studying tomatoes, so they said, "Tomatoes are really delicious, you can taste them and you will know." ”
"No need to taste it, we just wonder why such a beautiful tomato is rumored to be highly poisonous, it's really strange! You still have to sell these tomatoes! "Although Zhou Sankou is lively, he is not greedy.
Yu Xiaocao straightened up, walked twice in the tomato field, found a few early ripening fruits, stuffed one in each of their sisters' hands, and sent one to the Mao family and the Fang family respectively, and said: "Just these few, they can't be sold!" Come, taste them all. Look at our tomatoes, what price should I set? ”
After a few people shirked it a few times, after she said this, she was no longer polite. Zhou Shan couldn't wait to stuff the tomato into his mouth and took a big bite. The red juice flowed out of the corners of her mouth, and she hurriedly licked it back: "It's so sweet, it's delicious!" It's better than any fruit I've ever eaten! Xiaocao, I think your tomato can be sold as a fruit! ”
Zhou Shan was much more subtle, she learned from Xiaocao's appearance, first took a light bite, sucked it in small bites, the tomato juice in it was sweet and sour, and the taste was really good. She nodded in deep agreement with her sister's words. Mao and Fang were also full of praise.
"Xiaocao, it looks like someone is knocking on the door of your house!" Zhou Coral Zhu Bajie ate ginseng fruit as if he had eaten a fruit, and after eating a fruit, he looked at his sister with a little greed. Her ears were better, and she heard a knock on the door from the front yard.
After the last time Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made such a scene, when there was no one in the front yard of the Yu family, the door was basically bolted.
Yu Xiaocao ran quickly to the front yard, and the two tomatoes in his hand didn't have time to put down. As soon as I got out of the backyard, I saw my brother holding on to the door and walking out cautiously. As soon as I saw it, I knew that I wanted to open the door.
"Brother! Don't make a mess!! After a hundred days of broken bones, the doctor said that you would have to wait three months before you could get out of bed. Hurry up and lie down on the recliner, I'll open the door!! Yu Xiaocao stuffed the tomato into his brother's hand and helped him to lie down on the chaise longue.
Yu Hang sighed helplessly: "I feel that my ribs are almost better, and I don't feel any pain if I don't exercise vigorously...... Hiss! ”
"Hurts, right? If it hurts, it means that the bones are not growing well! Give me an honest raise!! Yu Xiaocao pressed on his chest, saw him show a painful expression, and glared at him.
Yu Hang muttered quietly at the back of Xiaocao who went to open the door: "Little housekeeper!" It's really good to get your hands on......"
