Mother Xu's house is a village in the mountains, which is a more isolated village than Qianqian Village, and it was so poor that it was called a jingle in the early years.

Eighteen bends of the mountain road, inconvenient access to and out, go back a trip, the bus has to change several cars upside down, the key is not to the mouth of the village, the place to get off the bus to the village takes two hours, and the taxi is too expensive.

So I usually don't go back to my parents' house if I have nothing to do, and I only go back once a year on the second day of junior high school.

finally went, of course Mother Xu hoped to stay for a few more days and accompany her father and mother.

But the girl hates to walk on the mountain road, and she thinks that the rocky road there is covered with moss and is easy to slip. Every time I take her back to my grandmother's house, I have to coax her for a long time. Until my daughter went to college, the traffic on my mother's side was finally better, but my daughter was reluctant to go.

But leave the girl at home alone, she is not at ease, so she goes to stay at most one night at a time and hurries back the next day. The mother's side has to find a reason, so as not to make my father and mother sad.

This year, my daughter said that she bought a small truck, drove by herself, and drove all the way to the vicinity of her grandmother's house, so that she could walk a lot less and bring a lot of New Year's goods.

Thinking of the changes in the family this year, Mother Xu smiled, wishing that tomorrow would be the second day of the Lunar New Year, sitting in a small truck driven by her daughter, pulling the New Year's goods back to her parents' house, and telling her mother's family about her happy life.

Mother Xu chattered while digging bamboo shoots: "Actually, there are a lot of bamboo shoots on the mountain over there at your grandmother's house, and the big bamboo shoots dug before Qingming are as tall as Haohao." But that bamboo shoot, eat directly a little astringent, the best way to eat is to use your grandmother's own pickled vegetables to steam, no astringency, but also very fresh. There are also pickled bamboo shoots made of salted meat, which you liked to eat very much when you were a child, and you will let your grandmother make it again this time. ”

"Mom, my grandmother and grandfather are okay?"

"Okay, don't look at more than seventy, deaf and blind, go up and down the mountain every day, and be healthy. I just haven't seen you for years, and I miss you very much. ”

Xu Yin took the opportunity to say: "Then go back this time and stay with them for a few more days." ”

"That's a good feeling!"

Xu Mu laughed happily: "Go!" Change places! Mom will take you to dig spring bamboo shoots! The spring bamboo shoots in that place are so white and tender that no one else knows! ”

Before today, Xu Yin really didn't expect that her mother was a little expert in bamboo shoots, and wherever she took them, there were not only bamboo shoots, but also big and plump, white and tender bamboo shoots.

The two of them dug two baskets full of winter bamboo shoots, plus spring bamboo shoots in three snakeskin bags.

I didn't want to dig so much.

It's still early to dry the bamboo shoots, and if you want to eat it again when you come back in the first month, you just have to dig it again, and the dried bamboo shoots that were dried at home last year haven't been eaten yet.

I just heard my daughter mention it: Winter bamboo shoots are sold very expensively in Anshi, and spring bamboo shoots are especially expensive, so she wants to give some to Chen Jiao.

Mother Xu knew that Chen Jiao was the owner of the barbecue restaurant who gave her daughter dividends, and helped his family a lot during the construction of the house.

Household appliances and furniture rely on her to get such a favorable price, if you go to the mall to buy, at least tens of thousands of dollars. Not to mention, I also gave several paintings as gifts.

I heard my daughter say that those paintings add up to 100,000 Mao. Especially the landscape painting, a pair costs 50,000 yuan, so scared that she didn't dare to hang it in the living room on the first floor, for fear of being patronized by thieves.

Such a good partner, the girl didn't say anything, and Mother Xu also wanted to send something.

As soon as he heard that the bamboo shoots in Anshi were sold so expensive, he immediately said that he would dig more and pick a good one to send to Chen Jiao.

As soon as they dug, they couldn't stop, but when the mother and daughter went up the mountain, they brought two bamboo baskets, and the snakeskin bag was borrowed from a woman in the same village.

If Xu Yin hadn't said that the car would be parked at the foot of the mountain, and the snakeskin bag would be returned by pouring the bamboo shoots into the car, they would be reluctant to borrow it, and they would have used it themselves.

The two carried bamboo baskets on their backs and dragged snakeskin bags down the mountain and put them on the truck.

Once again, it's so convenient to have a car!

"In the past, when I came with your father, I didn't dare to dig too much, otherwise I wouldn't be able to carry it back."

"I'll drive from now on."

"It's just burning gasoline." Mother Xu calculated the gasoline money, and twitched the corners of her mouth distressedly, back and forth, gasoline money can buy a lot of bamboo shoots.

Xu Yin smiled and said, "How can the ones bought outside be as tender as they dig themselves?" ”

"That's right, mom doesn't have any other skills, and it's okay to see if the bamboo shoots are old." Mother Xu proudly straightened her chest, "The bamboo shoots I dug must be the whitest and tenderest." ”

The mother and daughter chatted, poured the bamboo shoots in the basket and bag into the car, went up the mountain again, returned the snakeskin bag, and brought two baskets of bamboo shoots down by the way.

I didn't fill the basket this time, because there weren't so many bamboo shoots that matched Xu's mother's vision.

Rao is like this, the mother and mother dug back so many bamboo shoots, which also surprised Xu's father: "I knew that I would dig so much, so I went with you." ”

He thought that his daughter was idle at home, so he followed her mother to climb the mountain, and came back with a few bamboo shoots by the way, but he didn't expect to pull back a car.

Knowing that half of them were going to be given away, Xu's father breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to give away, it's good to give away, otherwise how can you finish eating so much." ”

Xu Yin couldn't help but be happy, people in the city couldn't afford to eat bamboo shoots during the Chinese New Year, but her family couldn't finish it.

The next day, she went to Anshi, in addition to sending bamboo shoots to Chen Jiao, she also had to buy some gifts for her grandmother's relatives. Of course, only a small part is bought, and the bulk is taken from the system warehouse.

Put in a bag of fresh spring bamboo shoots and take out a few gifts for others.

Ann City.

Chen Jiao received the bamboo shoots and was overjoyed:

"Oops! Xu Yin, do you still produce bamboo shoots over there? Such fresh winter bamboo shoots and spring bamboo shoots! Dig it up yesterday? I said so! The mud is still wet. No way! You've given too much! I didn't have enough New Year's goods to read! Let's go! I'll take you to the cold storage, and you pick some beef and mutton to go back! ”

She gave Xu Yin a lot of beef and mutton gift bags.

It's all on the prairie that is freezing now.

But Xu Yin's double-door refrigerator can't fit so much.

On the way back, she stocked up half of it to the system warehouse.

Half of it is still full of fridge freezers.

However, I have to go to my grandmother's house on the second day of the new year, so I can take more and make some space for the refrigerator.

Seeing the beef and mutton that his daughter brought home, Xu's father remembered that he had forgotten to say something yesterday.

After he finished speaking, Xu Yin thought for a moment and said, "Dad, I'm a junior, isn't it good to help the villagers roast some mutton and charge processing fees?" ”

"If you don't accept it, what if everyone brings meat over for you to roast?" Mother Xu answered on the side, "Besides, charcoal also costs money, and there are seasonings." I saw that the seasoning that Yin Yin bought was much more fragrant than the barbecue powder sold in the supermarket in the town, and the saltiness was just right. ”

Xu Yinxin said that no, my sister still relied on this seasoning to pay off her debts.

"Otherwise, Dad, I'll teach you how to roast, how to marinate, and how to sprinkle. In fact, it's quite simple, once you have mastered the heat, you just need to turn it over regularly. When the people in the village want our family to process it on their behalf, you roast them, and you have the final say on how much money you charge. I don't interfere in this matter. ”
