Chapter 43: The Loser
Li Chonglou ripened the Coptis chinensis seedlings and picked the seeds to remove the rhizomes.
The rhizome is the part of the medicine.
After the seeds were sprinkled, there were several batches of ripening, and she checked them, and the fresh roots were about ten catties, which was enough.
Too much to explain.
Fortunately, Coptis chinensis needs rhizomes, and it can be picked even in spring, and it is not easy to explain if it is for seeds.
Li Chonglou picked the last batch of Coptis chinensis rhizomes, then tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of his trousers and wrapped the seeds.
As long as there are seeds, she can ripen them anytime and anywhere, and she doesn't have to go up the mountain.
Then Li Chonglou saw dandelions all over the mountains, this thing is also a medicinal material, treating boils and carbuncles, especially for cradle carbuncles, which is mastitis, but this thing is too much, it is not worth anything at all.
The distribution of Yin Chen and dandelion is the same, it can be seen everywhere, it can be used to promote water, too much is worthless.
She still picked some tender dandelions, and she could go back to make soup and drink.
There are also quite a few bracken, parsley, cat's paws, and asparagus...... These wild vegetables are either fried meat, or blanched and salad with Lao Gan Ma, or blanched with dipping sauce, all of which are delicious, and if they are placed in modern times, they are all delicious in the world.
It's a pity that there are a lot of mountains now, and she doesn't need to scatter seeds, but why are there few people picking them, because there is neither meat to fry, nor Lao Gan Ma, nor soybean sauce...... The only way to eat it is to blanch it with rice bran and swallow it together, and the better people can serve white rice......
That's not going to taste good.
Li Chonglou has chili seeds and doesn't have to worry about chili peppers, but there are no other materials, and after thinking about it, he still didn't pick a lot in the end.
When I went back and passed by the ditch, I came across mustard greens and willow artemisia.
This must be taken.
Li Chonglou likes to eat mustard greens the most, and she also has a soft spot for the taste of willow artemisia.
When the mustard greens were ripe, he tore off a trouser leg and kept the seeds, and then put everything he saw in the frame.
As far as the vegetarian dish is concerned, she returned with a full load.
It was almost noon when she got home, the old rule, seeing that there was no one in her yard, she pushed away the yard next door.
Chu Zhongyuan was not there, and Fu Bo was cleaning up the yard alone.
"Fauber!"
"Xiaohua is back?" Fauber was a little surprised when he saw her full of baskets, and said with a smile, "What are you looking for, so many?" ”
Li Chonglou put the basket down, and Fu Bo brought two basins over.
"Yo, there are so many shepherd's cabbage, this thing is delicious to wrap dumplings." Fauber sighed.
Li Chonglou is also good at this mouthful, and the halazi is about to flow out, but it's a pity, "There is no meat, is there any meat in our village?" Otherwise, I'll buy some meat, change some flour, and we'll make dumplings. ”
Fu Bo shook his head, "I have two pieces of bacon, but I can't make dumplings, and there should be two or three catties of flour left over from the festival before the festival." ”
That's just meat.
But it's hard to buy meat these days.
As he said, Chu Zhongyuan came back from outside and carried half a catty of meat.
Seeing that 'Xiaohua' was back, the corners of his mouth bent imperceptibly, and he quickly recovered his expressionless face and threw the meat in front of Li Chonglou.
Fauber was surprised and asked, "Where did you buy it?" ”
Chu Zhongyuan went to send a basket to the car boss, but the other party had no money to settle, so he just pulled a piece of Houqiu from the town and couldn't finish it, Chu Zhongyuan wanted to make up for everyone, so he bought half a catty and came back.
"Coincidentally, there won't be tomorrow." Chu Zhongyuan left this sentence and went back to the house.
Fauber happily picked up the meat and examined it to see if there were any pox.
Li Chonglou then remembered that in ancient times, pork was inferior meat, and there were often tapeworms, so you should be very careful when eating boiled meat.
Not to mention ancient times, even in the seventies and eighties, pork had a lot of pox.
She had heard the old man say that if the pox pig was killed, the family would be sad for a year.
In order to cover up the pox pig, some people chop up the meat when they buy it, and only sell dumpling filling, which is a bit of a feeling that there is no silver three hundred taels here.
It can be said that pox pork is very harmful to the people.
Li Chonglou looked at this piece of meat as pink and fresh, and the meat was smooth, not like pox pork.
"Some of them are not obvious at a glance, but this piece of meat is good." ”
Li Chonglou grinned.
Fauber whispered, "We've got a mouthful." ”
Fu Bo put the meat in the water to remove the blood, and turned back to see what Li Chonglou had done.
"Yo, so many willow artemisia, you can also make dumplings."
Li Chonglou showed his little white teeth, "Fu Bo, why do you love to eat everything I like?" ”
"It can only show that you are a gluttonous cat, who doesn't like to eat delicious food?"
Li Chonglou laughed.
Fu Bo also saw Coptis chinensis, his face suddenly became serious, he was fiddling with medicinal herbs in his hands, his eyes were shining, and his voice was lowered, "A lot, this can buy money." ”
"How much can it sell?"
Fu Bo thought in his eyes, "The fresh ones are definitely not as valuable as the dried ones, but this color, this catty, why don't you sell them for two taels of silver?" ”
"So little?"
"That's less? You girl is so greedy, it's enough for you to be half a fat pig, isn't it enough? ”
Oh, yes.
Two taels of silver doesn't sound like much, but the purchasing power is strong.
Fu Bo said again: "This must be put in a cool and ventilated place, don't let it be sunburned." ”
Fu Bo helped Li Chonglou clean up wild vegetables and medicinal herbs.
Li Chonglou boiled water and mixed the dumpling filling, and then mixed the noodles, her hands and feet were nimble, and she quickly wrapped the white and fat dumplings.
Chu Zhongyuan smelled the aroma of the food, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, the fireworks in the world, that's what he said, right?
Suddenly, I heard the outside say, "It's cooked!" ”
Chu Zhongyuan put down his pen and hurriedly went to set up the table......
A meal of dumplings to eat happily and warmly.
Li Chonglou was embarrassed to pat her stomach, but she really felt that this was the best dumpling she had ever tasted, and there was no one.
sighed, "I eat willow artemisia meat stuffing at night." ”
After saying that, I happily went to finish brushing.
Fu Bo and Chu Zhongyuan, who were searching for the bottom, had one meal at the same time, they had long been used to eating two meals, why, they had to add meals?
Fu Bo looked at Chu Zhongyuan and said in a low voice, "Loser! ”
Chu Zhongyuan had already regained his cold expression, "Scholars want to eat better." ”
Fauber looked at the dumplings on the plate, and didn't know why he hadn't eaten enough, but he seemed to have eaten something and was full.
Li Chonglou cleared the last handful of firewood in front of the stove, and when he turned around, he saw Chu Zhongyuan behind him.
This time she was not afraid, "Brother Chu, there is nothing I have to go back." ”
Chu Zhongyuan's face was expressionless, "There are five dumplings left, you can bring them back......"
"He doesn't deserve it!" Li Chonglou knew that Chu Zhongyuan wanted her to give it to Zhu Jue to eat, how could that scumbag be worthy of eating the dumplings filled with shepherd's cabbage that she used her ability to induce, "I gave him a bite to eat because I was afraid that he would starve to death and cause trouble for us, not that I cared about him, I said that I would not let him use me again, and when I said it, I will go back and continue to cook sweet potatoes for him." ”
After saying that, he waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”
Looking at her brisk back, the corners of Chu Zhongyuan's mouth slowly lifted, it turned out that he was afraid that he would die, this is about the same.
Li Chonglou went back and saw that Zhu Jue's medicinal materials were still there, but Qiao Meiniang didn't come at all.
This green tea is really ruthless.
