Chapter 145: All kinds of buying
Not surprisingly, Liu Wan gained six more survival points.
"Mother, I'll eat bamboo shoots tomorrow." Wang Lian ate and licked the bowl.
"Good. Change the trick tomorrow. Liu Wan pondered in her heart.
Not long after eating, Liu Wan smelled the aroma of chicken feet coming from the food court.
It's Wang Xiao in the braised chicken feet.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was not dark, Liu Wan carried the basket to dig radishes in the vegetable field.
At this time, the radish grows fat and strong, and a small part is exposed to the ground, and the green leaves are lined with this bit of white, which is as attractive as a jade product.
The soil for planting radishes is quite easy, Liu Wan only needs to pull the leaves on it and pull it out from the ground, which is called pulling radishes.
Liu Wan plucked half a basket of radishes, almost 10 of them, and went home.
On the way home, Liu Wan noticed that there was a large banana grove at the edge of the opposite field, and in the banana grove, there were heart-shaped banana flowers in front of the banana hanging fruit.
Banana blossoms are the buds of a banana tree, and a banana tree has only one banana bud in its lifetime.
Liu Wan's hometown is in the south, where a lot of bananas are grown.
Banana farmers have a tradition of eating banana blossoms.
Seeing this banana, Liu Wan immediately had an idea.
She took the radish home first, took out a bamboo basket again, went to the banana grove, and picked the banana flowers.
The banana forest is very large, and Liu Wan picked almost 20 banana flowers.
When he got home, Wang Jing happened to come out of the tool workshop and asked curiously:
"Mother, why are you picking banana flowers?"
"Mountain people have their own uses." Liu Wan didn't want to explain, anyway, they knew what it was.
Liu Wan peeled off the red skin of the banana blossom on the outside, revealing the yellow flower spikes inside, which were arranged in a circle around the flower column.
These flower spikes are edible, and Liu Wan peeled them off one by one.
Don't underestimate these flower spikes, the number is not small, after all the flower spikes are peeled off, a bamboo basket is filled.
Liu Wan blanched them in a pot of boiling water, then took them out and dried them on a dustpan to fry meat, and they were all good ingredients for rice. When the meat is stir-fried, or the fish is boiled, and the dried flowers are stir-fried with ingredients such as tempeh and leeks, and the taste is delicious.
Liu Wan will store these dry goods in jars and jars for everyone to see, but in fact, most of them are placed in her food locker, after all, they can be kept fresh and never deteriorate.
After processing the banana flowers, Liu Wan said that let's pickle a radish sour first, usually eat too much meat, and eat some radish sour to relieve greasy.
The recipe for radish sour is very simple, wash and peel the radish, then cut it into 4 strips, then cut it into thin slices, then add vinegar and sugar, a little wine, and marinate it.
There is also a part of the radish shredded, and a little salt is put to marinate it, which will make the radish more crispy, and then use these pickled shredded radishes to fry the meat, which tastes good.
"Mother, there are three days left for the New Year, what New Year's goods do we have to buy for the New Year?"
Wang Lian asked.
Liu Wan then remembered that she had bought fabric for Wu Hui, and hurriedly went to the house to take out the fabric for Wu Hui.
Wu Hui didn't expect her mother-in-law to buy fabric to make new clothes for her, and she was overjoyed.
Liu Wan said generously:
"Xiaohui, you married into our Wang family, and you didn't have a good life.
In the past year, you have also suffered a lot, and our family's life will be better in the future, I guarantee that everyone of you will have new clothes to wear in the future, and there will be meat to eat every day, and there will be no shortage of white rice noodles. ”
In fact, needless to say, Liu Wan has done what she said these days.
The people of the Wang family were visibly moistened by the naked eye under her elaborate three meals.
Wang Lian and Wang Li's hair has become dense and black, not to mention, their height has also jumped up slightly, which is not obvious now, but in time, Wang Li's height may surpass his elder brothers.
Wu Hui was originally pregnant with edema, and her lips were not bloody, but as she was served with good food and drink day by day, her lips also became rosy, and she looked very good.
Wu Hui, like all the girls in the world who love beauty, saw the new fabric, and her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, which was one of the few times when she felt truly happy.
"Mother, thank you, these fabrics are so beautiful."
Liu Wan nodded and said, "It's not easy for the eldest sister-in-law, the family has made you hard." ”
Seeing that the Chinese New Year was approaching, after Liu Wan went to the town to set up a stall the next day, she asked Wang Xiao to deal with it alone in the store, and she excused herself to buy some New Year's goods and went to buy them on a large scale.
Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are more people on the street, and business seems to be very good.
Liu Wan is without Wang Xiao by her side, she is like a bird that has been released, she can buy whatever she wants, and she just hoards goods.
In her opinion, cotton clothes and jackets are also to buy a few more pieces, but ready-to-wear is too expensive, I have stocked up on a few pieces before, and now I think it is cheaper to buy fabrics and cotton to make by myself.
She found that Wu Hui's female popularity was okay, so it was better to make cotton clothes and other new clothes for Wu Hui on the hour.
Anyway, the countrymen have to work all day long, if Wu Hui is allowed to be idle, she herself will not be idle, buy more cotton and fabric, so that Wu Hui can slowly make new clothes.
If Wu Hui knew Liu Wan's thoughts, not only would she not complain about her for giving herself life, but she would also be grateful to Liu Wan.
Because, the hardest thing in the countryside is not to be a female celebrity, but to go to farming, going up the mountain to chop firewood and other farm work, which is hard and tired, hungry and sunburning.
The key is that there is no sense of accomplishment, digging in the soil, and at most maintaining food and clothing all year round.
Liu Wan bought some cotton and cloth and put them in the bamboo basket on her back.
Then, buy supplies from stall to stall.
Liu Wan bought 50 catties of white rice, white flour and brown rice at each stall, and finally bought a total of 1,000 catties of brown rice, 500 catties of rice, and 500 catties of white noodles.
The reason why she buys more brown rice is because if it comes to the famine year, she has to take out the brown rice and mix it with white rice to eat, otherwise everyone will definitely wonder why she has so much white rice.
When the time comes, she will be noticed by someone with a heart, and she can't say it clearly.
If you eat too well, you will be jealous of yourself when the time comes, and you may be killed.
In addition, meat is naturally indispensable.
Liu Wan scraped at several meat stalls and bought at least two pigs.
She also bought 30 of each of the various freshwater fish and seafood.
As for seafood like shrimp, she didn't buy much, because it was expensive and unbearable, but she also bought about 20 catties.
How much to buy some to satisfy your cravings.
Life is short, no more than 30,000 days at most.
She came to this world to see how beautiful the flowers are and how fragrant the tea is, not just to bury her head in the running around every day, for the sake of livelihood, reluctant to eat or drink.
In the name of the New Year, everyone will buy more food and drink, and Liu Wan will not be conspicuous when she mixes in the crowd.
As the silver in her hand was stripped away, Liu Wan felt as if she had bought a lot, but looking at the space of the food storage cabinet, it was only a small corner.
It seems that it is not easy to load 20 tons of supplies.
With the drought in the north so severe and the population moving south, it's time to ramp up stockpiles.
