Liu Wan brought two scallion pancakes, a bamboo tube of water, all put in the bamboo basket, I don't know if Zhao has anything to eat and drink, she is not easy to ask, otherwise it seems that people will have to bring food and drink.

The two of them were about to go up the back hill when Xie Lanhua came out of the house and said:

"Mother, Aunt Liu, I'll go with you to break bamboo shoots."

"Okay."

The three of them walked up the hill with small steps.

Zhao said that she comes here every year to break bitter bamboo shoots, and the bitter bamboo shoots in this area are many and dense, and the temperature is heating up fast this year, so this year's bitter bamboo shoots are born earlier than in previous years.

Zhao observed this phenomenon and came to break the bamboo shoots in advance, and more people would come to break them in a few days later, and there would be fewer bitter bamboo shoots at that time.

While talking, unconsciously, I walked for half an hour and came to the bamboo forest that Zhao said halfway up the mountain.

The bamboos with the thickness of the thumb, more than one person high, are densely packed, and new bamboo shoots emerge on the sides of these bamboos, which is the bitter bamboo shoots they want to break.

Although Liu Wan came to break bamboo shoots for the first time, she learned from Zhao's gestures, one after another, and every "stuck" crisp sound meant that another bitter bamboo shoot was in her hand.

And Liu Wan also has an open food system, which can help her find accessories for food tasks.

The food system quest triggered by the bitter bamboo shoots is: Bitter bamboo shoots small intestine soup.

Bitter bamboo shoots are excipients for the small intestine.

Liu Wangang heard this task, and the system also determined that bitter bamboo shoots were excipients, and couldn't help but ask the system:

"Shouldn't the excipients of the small intestine be the large intestine?"

"What?" The system was stunned.

"Haha, life is impermanent, the large intestine contains the small intestine."

Liu Wan finished teasing the system, got back to business, and started to break bamboo shoots.

Under the guidance of the system, Liu Wan accurately found the bitter bamboo shoots in the dense bushes, and broke them happily.

One in one hand, one in one hand......

The satisfaction of finding something to gain is in my heart.

In less than half an hour, Liu Wan had already broken half a basket of bitter bamboo shoots.

When Zhao passed by her, he saw that she had broken so many bitter bamboo shoots, and couldn't help but quip:

"Aunt Liu, have you worshiped the mountain god before going up the mountain? Luckily. ”

Liu Wan was happy and said, "The blind cat bumped into a dead mouse!" ”

The three of them separated and went along their area to find bitter bamboo shoots, and the Zhao clan shouted at them from time to time, telling them not to disperse too far.

The three of them could hear each other's voices, as well as the sound of "Xi Xi Suosuo" breaking bitter bamboo shoots, which made people feel reassured.

Liu Wan felt that it was very pleasant to go up the mountain with her friends to work, and it was better than going up the mountain alone and doing things quietly.

So from time to time, I also talked loudly with Zhao about some parents.

Zhao asked Liu Wan and said, "Tietou came back and said, help you castrate the pig, is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes, my Wang Xiao heard from the veterinarian in the town that he can be castrated." Liu Wan vaguely made up an explanation.

"I heard that castration will make pigs grow meat?" Zhao was curious.

"Yes, now you can grow faster, and your temperament is much more docile, if you have a little boar in your family, you can do the same." Liu Wan said.

"Okay, I'll go see your pigs, and if it's like you said, I'll let Xianggong castrate our own pigs as well.

This little one was bought from the market only 10 days ago, before the pig was going to be killed before the New Year. ”

Zhao babbled.

Farmers are like this, they raise one or two pigs a year, and at the end of the year, they kill and sell meat, on the one hand, to increase their income, and on the other hand, they can have meat to eat.

And often this pig is the most important source of income for the whole family for a year.

The family generally spends as much as they earn, and there is not a penny left, and they can save money by relying on these pigs, ducks, and sheep at the end of the year.

Before killing the pig, you must buy another piglet to keep it, and it seems that Xie Tietou's family is about to kill the New Year's pig.

"Don't worry, I think this is a good way, and I heard that the meat will be more fragrant after the pig is castrated, and there will be no smell."

Liu Wan's statement, Zhao heard it for the first time, and he thought it was quite fresh.

Liu Wan and Xie Tietou are not good at talking about these things, but Zhao and she are both mature women, so there is nothing embarrassing to talk about them.

As the two of them spoke, they broke the bamboo.

Liu Wan saw that she had broken more than half a basket, so she said to Zhao:

"Aunt Zhao, are you tired? Shall we sit down for a while? ”

"Okay."

During the shouting, Xie Lanhua also came over to meet them.

The three of them found a relatively flat ground and sat down, Liu Wan took out the bread and water she had brought from the bamboo basket, and said:

"Shall we have a snack? A little hungry. ”

After speaking, Liu Wan distributed the dough cake to Xie Lanhua and Zhao.

The mother and daughter waved their hands again and again, refusing to answer.

Liu Wan got angry and said, "Do you still treat me as a friend?" Don't be so polite! ”

The mother and daughter actually didn't react for a while, because the bread in Liu Wan's hand was white noodles, and she was usually willing to eat it during the New Year's holidays, so she was so generous when she shot casually?

This kind of delicate food, everyone is usually willing to eat together as a family. How could he be willing to give it to outsiders?

Zhao was slightly surprised, on the one hand, he felt that Liu Wan didn't seem to be very good at living.

But when people invited her to eat so enthusiastically, she was embarrassed to slander them more.

Seeing Liu Wan's sincerity, she seemed to be stingy when she pushed it again, so Zhao took the dough cake that Liu Wan handed her, divided it into two halves, and handed it to her daughter in half.

At this point, the Zhao family realized that it turned out that Liu Wan divided what they ate, not only white flour cakes, but also meat cakes, with meat filling in the middle, and the Zhao family was even more surprised.

Liu Wan originally thought that only she and Zhao went up the mountain, so she only brought two meatloafs, and when she saw that Zhao tore the meatloaf to Xie Lanhua, she also tore half of it to Xie Lanhua, saying:

"Young people are hungry easily, and I can eat half a meal."

After speaking, Liu Wan took half of the leftover meatloaf and ate it in a big gulp.

Although the meatloaf is cold, in this era when eating pastries has to be celebrated every year, the beautiful taste of meatloaf makes people not mind this little shortcoming.

"The cake is well done, Aunt Liu, did you make this cake yourself?"

Zhao asked.

"It was Xiaohui who burned it in the morning, I got up late, she got up first and did it."

Liu Wan also did not take credit.

That's right, the cake was branded by Wu Hui, but she shared her skills with Wu Hui early on, so Wu Hui's patty skills did not deviate.

"Xiaohui has been around for more than 7 months, have you helped him find a good wife? Now Wen Po is very popular, you have to order it in advance, otherwise no one will help you then. ”。

Anyway, if it weren't for Zhao's reminder, Liu Wan really hadn't thought about it.

To be honest, Liu Wan didn't have a brain about production at all.

She has never given birth to a child herself, and it is also the first time to be a mother-in-law, in modern society, pregnant women are all started in the stomach, directly pushed to the hospital, and after handing it over to the doctor, there is nothing to do with relatives.

was reminded by Zhao, Liu Wancai suddenly realized that giving birth to a child now is a great test for women.
