Chapter 101: Mother-in-law Looks at Daughter-in-law
Liu Wan felt that in addition to barbecue, she could also make water chestnut rolls and sell them.
So Liu Wan agreed to it.
The two decided to go up the mountain to dig the horseshoe now, Wang Lian and Wang Li also followed, Wang Xiao wanted to help make braised chicken feet at home, and Wang Jing also had to teach his apprentices and make abacus...... The family is busy and well-arranged.
Go up the mountain to dig the top of the horse's hoof, and in the back mountain of Xie Tietou's house, you have to pass through Xie Tietou's house.
As soon as she heard that Liu Wan was going up the mountain to dig horses' hooves, Wang Lian and Wang Li were also going to follow, Liu Wan felt that she had the right to play with the two of them, so the family of three carried a bamboo basket on their backs and followed behind Zhao.
When Zhao passed by his house, he also entered the house and carried a bamboo basket to hold horseshoe.
Seeing this, Xie Lanhua asked, "Mother, where are you going?" So many people? ”
"Go up the hill and dig the horse's hooves." Zhao said.
"Then I'll go with you!"
Seeing this, Xie Lanhua also carried a bamboo basket on her back and went up the mountain together.
Because she already knew that Xie Lanhua and Wang Jing were in love, Liu Wan couldn't help but pay more attention to Xie Lanhua.
When she saw that this girl was very bold and unpretentious, she liked it very much.
I saw that she had a black head, a ruddy complexion, a healthy complexion, and although there were a few patches on the clothes on her body, the clothes were all cleanly washed, and it could be seen that she was a clean and down-to-earth girl.
The more Liu Wan looked at it, the more satisfied she became, she didn't like sloppy girls.
Wang Li and Wang Lian affectionately called Sister Xie Lanhua.
Xie Lanhua's face was hot, and she touched Wang Lian's little head and said:
"You two are going with you, too?"
"Yes, Sister Orchid, let's hurry up, my mother is walking too slowly."
Wang Lian was impatient, and trotted all the way to the front, like a wild girl.
She used to be lively and active, and she was recently served by Liu Wan with big fish and meat, and she ate well every day, and her physical fitness followed, and she didn't feel tired when she trotted all the way up the mountain.
"Look at this girl, like a big horse monkey, she can't stop for a moment."
Liu Wan couldn't help but joke.
"It's okay, the girl's family was like this when she was a child, and when she was fifteen or sixteen years old, she began to become well-behaved and honest.
Don't talk about others, my orchid was more skinny than her when she was a child, she liked to climb trees, go to the house to uncover tiles, and she couldn't do it without beating for three days, and she was even more skinny than her brother. ”
Xie Lanhua listened, and her face turned red.
She didn't dare to blame her mother for commenting on her like this, because it was, but she was a little nervous, for fear that Liu Wan would leave a bad impression when she heard it.
Liu Wan said happily:
"It is the nature of children to be lively and active, that is, to be more active and run more, and the physique will be good.
"Yo, Aunt Liu is right."
Zhao and Liu Wan had a good conversation.
Mothers are like this, although they belittle their own children, in fact, who doesn't think their children are good, and they hope that others can praise them. If the other party really takes the opportunity to say bad things about their children, then the scene will be cold.
The group walked to the top of the hill, and then went down a little bit, it was a low-lying area, and there was a spring in the middle of the depression, so the low-lying area gathered into a small mountaintop lake.
I don't know when the wetlands near the lake began to have horseshoe.
The villagers here don't like to eat horseshoe and don't know it, so no one comes to dig it.
Zhao's mother's family used to rely on the river, the river has more water, and the horse's hooves are very common near the puddles, and she is quite used to eating, so she found that there are long horseshoes here, and she will come to dig some back to eat in the season.
"I didn't expect you to make the horseshoe into the filling of spring rolls, it tastes so good, refreshing and not greasy, I never thought that the horseshoe could do this."
Zhao praised it again.
Liu Wan said: "I'm thinking about it, and I'll teach you back." ”
"Okay." Zhao is also interested in learning to cook.
Everyone put down the bamboo basket and began to use small hoes to plane the horses' hooves.
Liu Wan found that there were a lot of horseshoe here, and they were also very big, the size of Wang Lian's fist, and they were nutritious, no wonder they tasted crispy and sweet.
An hour passed, and everyone quickly dug up their own bamboo baskets.
Wang Lian and Wang Li only planed half a basket, and Liu Wan was afraid that they would not be able to carry them, so she didn't let them plane more.
Anyway, the horse's hooves grow here, and you can come back to planing when you have time.
Liu Wan asked Zhao, can horseshoe feed pigs?
Zhao said that it should be possible, although she didn't think about it in this regard, but pigs are quite omnivorous anyway, they eat everything, maybe the horseshoe is sweet, and the pig loves to eat.
was said by Liu Wan, Zhao opened his mind and said:
"Aunt Liu, don't you say, I didn't expect to be able to feed the pigs, now it's okay, you can come up and feed the pigs more when you have time, it won't be wasted."
The bamboo baskets were full, and the five of them planned to go home.
On the way back, Zhao said:
"Aunt Liu, are you free tomorrow? This year, the weather is warm early, and the bitter bamboo shoots are starting to grow, do you want to go up the mountain to break the bitter bamboo shoots together? ”
Bitter bamboo shoots are a kind of bamboo shoots that grow out of thin bamboo, almost only the thickness of the thumb, very bitter, some people dare not eat, but those who dare to eat will be more and more addicted, after the bitterness will be sweet, clear heat and detoxify, can clear the intestines, is the food that nature gives to the countrymen.
This kind of bamboo shoots grow in the mountains and wild forests, natural and pollution-free, in modern society this is called organic food, generally with high-grade plastic boxes are very beautifully packaged, placed in the supermarket fresh-keeping cabinet, a small box has to be sold for twenty or thirty yuan.
Of course, if you go up the mountain by yourself, you will spend as much as you want.
However, bitter bamboo shoots usually grow in places with dense forests and deep grass, and the tombstones of their ancestors often pop up in this kind of place, and it is still a little hairy to go alone, so it is best to ask a few more people together.
Therefore, most of the peasant women usually find their relatives and friends and go up the mountain in groups, so it is not surprising that Zhao invited Liu Wan.
Liu Wanshi thought this matter was quite interesting, so she said briskly:
"Okay, or tomorrow morning, right?"
Liu Wan felt that the barbecue business could be handed over to Wang Xiao tomorrow.
Anyway, she has already shared her skills with Wang Xiao, she is not there, and the taste of the barbecue can't be wrong, and she enjoys the survival point points the same.
And the business on the first day is opened, and with the foundation and the situation opened, it will not be difficult to do the business on the second day.
For a new business, the important thing is that someone opens up the situation, and the rest is easy to do.
Rather than selling barbecue, she wants to go up the mountain to pick bitter bamboo shoots.
"Okay, then you come over tomorrow morning after dinner and call me, then we will go up the mountain from this fork in the road, there is a place where there are the most bitter bamboo shoots, I have gone there to break in previous years, and I can break thousands of catties in a season!"
The Zhao family is really generous, and told Liu Wan about such a location.
Some selfish women will not tell others where their wealth is abundant, for fear that they will be stolen and lost.
Zhao noticed that Liu Wan was carrying a basket full of horses' hooves, but she walked like a fly, and she didn't have to pant when she talked to her.
Liu Wan's performance made Zhao, who used to think she was frail and sickly, look at her with admiration.
Zhao herself is the daughter of a fisherman, and her family used to live on fishing boats.
But she is tired of living a monotonous life on a fishing boat and is bent on marrying someone on land.
