There was a market the next day, and Lily got up early to eat hot porridge, and then went to Liu Yi's house to find Li Xiaofeng.

Liu Yi's family's fields can't be ploughed in one day, Li Caifeng's brothers go home after dinner, and come back the next day, Li Xiaofeng doesn't have to work hard to travel, he sleeps at the eldest sister's house at night, and whispers with Xing'er for half the night.

Li Caifeng urged them to go to bed several times, but neither of them listened, they just laughed, but when Lily arrived at the door, they were still sleeping.

"How old is the girl, do you want to be embarrassed?" Li Caifeng saw Lily coming, so angry that she took a broom and patted two small ones across the quilt, Lily knew that she was in a hurry, but she was not really angry, she didn't really fight, she laughed next to her.

Li Xiaofeng got up suddenly, and turned around to arm Xing'er: "Don't get up yet, don't get up yet?"

The two aunts and nephews laughed, and Li Caifeng couldn't help rubbing her forehead: "The noise gives me a headache." ”

In fact, Lily didn't expect Li Xiaofeng to get up so late today, and she originally came to invite her to join the market. As soon as Li Xiaofeng heard that he was going to go to the market, he couldn't take care of breakfast, and he wanted to run out after washing his face and combing his hair, but he was restrained by Li Caifeng's eyes: "Go after eating, it's always so frizzy, like something!"

After eating, Li Caifeng gave Xiaofeng a few more money and asked her to wear a velvet flower before going out. It's nothing that Lily is married, Li Xiaofeng has to look at others in the past two years, she is a sister, and she always hopes that her sister will marry well. If outsiders know that Li Xiaofeng is lazy at home and doesn't get up until this time, he won't have the reputation of a lazy woman?

This reputation is the most important, if Lily hadn't been rumored to be lazy and lazy, there were so many bachelors in the town, and there were even more who didn't pay attention to it, she wouldn't have been able to go to Song Haonian's house.

Xing'er also wanted to go out with her, but the town was full of people and cars, and even the eldest girl was afraid of getting lost, so she had to travel together, so how could Xiaofeng and Lily dare to take Xing'er out?

When the eldest girl was in Liushan Village, she only knew how to work hard and never handed over a handkerchief. Shopping with Li Xiaofeng is also for Li Caifeng's goodness, Xiaofeng and her sister are quite similar in temperament, and Lily feels very comfortable getting along, so she is more affectionate.

Xiaofeng also felt that Lily was very different from the big girl, so she had the heart to make this friend.

Lily wants to buy color thread, but the girl hasn't bought it before, and she doesn't know which one to choose. Xiaofeng took her to look at it one by one, either because the lines on this stall were not bright enough, or because the stall was not strong enough.

The two of them not only look at the color line, but also look at other rouge gouache and other things from time to time, the speed is even slower, and it takes a long time to pick a line, each color is there, bright and strong.

Li Xiaofeng was smart-tongued, the vendor originally asked for three yuan, but she bargained for two, and she also spared half a foot of red head rope.

Squeezing out of the crowd, Lily couldn't help but say in admiration: "You are really good at bargaining." ”

Li Xiaofeng became more and more proud, and taught Lily a lot of tips for visiting the market, such as going to buy things when the market is about to disperse, it must be cheaper than coming early. But you can't buy things like color threads too late, otherwise they will definitely be snatched up by others......

Xiaofeng bought two silver and shiny thimbles, one for herself and her eldest sister, and one for Lily when she saw this, she also bought one, she had to make an insoles, and when the insoles had a certain thickness and the strength of her fingers was not enough, she had to use thimbles.

Seeing that there were still windmills on the set, Lily also wanted to buy a windmill for Xing'er, Xiaofeng laughed at her: "I love Xing'er so much, you might as well give birth to one yourself!"

Lily smiled and replied: "You haven't married yet, and you're full of raw and cooked things." ”

In the end, I bought a windmill for Apricot.

Xiaofeng also had to go back to help Li Caifeng cook, and the two of them left the market before noon and went home.

Lily walked on the road, and couldn't help but watch the weeping willows on the side of the road flutter gently in the breeze, and felt relaxed. Suddenly, she saw several toon trees on the side of the road, and the new shoots had just grown, and they were shaking vigorously.

The newly grown toon buds have a purple color and a special fragrance, which is extremely delicious for those who love to eat, and unacceptable for those who don't.

These toons grow on the side of the road, and I don't know if they have an owner, or if no one likes to eat them. It just so happened that Lily was the kind of person who liked to eat toon, and she remembered that there were still two eggs at home, so she rushed to secrete saliva from her mouth, and looked at the toon tree in a daze, unable to take her eyes off.

A neighbor who knew her was passing by, saw her staring at the toon tree, and said with a smile: "What a fresh and tender toon bud! My man also loves to eat it, so I'll pick some and go back." ”

Lily hurriedly asked, "Whose tree is this?"

"Anyone can pick wild trees on the roadside. At this time, the buds will grow when they see the wind, don't look at the number now, they grew yesterday, and if you don't pick them, they will be robbed later!"

When Lily heard this, she was busy picking toon shoots with the woman. Several of the trees were not very tall, and the lily reached out to reach the young shoots in the high places, and folded them down, and in a short time both of them picked many of them.

Returning home with the tender, fragrant toon buds, the lily first picks out some of the most tender ones and soaks them in a basin of water. Then divide the rest into two parts, one part is spread directly in the bamboo flat, put it under the sun to dry, and the other part is washed with well water and put it first.

It was already time for lunch, and Lily had eaten hastily, and rushed to the market to buy a clay jar at a cheap price, two taels of coarse salt.

Don't worry about the toon that is dry, wait until the sun is drying it all before putting it away, and wait until autumn and winter to eat it. Blanch the washed portion first, and then quickly scoop it up and drain it when the color turns old and the buds become soft.

The potbelly pottery jar has been scalded several times with boiling water, washed cleanly, sprinkled a layer of salt into it, a layer of blanched toon buds, compacted and sprinkled with a layer of salt, and then a layer of toon buds......

In this way, after seven or eight layers, the Tsubaki buds are well coded, and there is not much coarse salt left in the lily just bought.

Salt is the most expensive, Lily heard her grandmother say when she was a child, and people in some places can't afford to eat salt, so they have to dig up the soil for salt. Soil salt is actually a saline-alkali land, dig back the soil and cook it yourself, there are a lot of toxic substances in it.

But if you don't eat salt, you will get sick, and when she was a child, she saw several people with big neck disease, and after crossing over, she was very glad that she and most of the people around her did not have this problem.

When Lily went to buy salt, she found that although the quality of salt was not very good, it was not as expensive as she imagined.

She didn't know that this was a measure of the imperial court, but she also knew that when there was no shortage of salt, it must be a time when she was very stable and rich, and she could live a small life in this era for a long time.

Retracting the distant thoughts, the lily closes the lid and pours water into the groove at the mouth of the jar to keep the air out and keep the toon buds from spoiling for a long time.

The jar is placed in a shady corner of the kitchen, so you can get up and eat it in the summer when there is no such refreshing food.
