After coming back to his senses, Ji Wan went back to the kitchen, and the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law had already washed and cut all the dishes to be fried, and they were ready to be fried.

Stir-fried greens and sautéed leeks.

Now that spring is approaching, leeks are growing one stubble after another, and Chen He has planted a lot in the front yard, so I don't have to worry about not having to eat at all.

"Why do you make steamed dumplings and eat them today, what kind of filling?" The eldest brother just came back from setting up a stall in the morning, probably because the business was too good, and now the eldest brother doesn't go so early in the morning, basically he goes at eight o'clock.

It happened that Ji Wan brought the last one to the table, "It's stuffed with willow artemisia sprouts, Dabao did a good job of the homework I assigned to him, and rewarded him." ”

"Then we are still stained with the light of Dabao, otherwise we won't be able to eat it!" If the second brother joked, he embarrassed Dabao.

Chen He patted the table, "Okay, let's eat!" I'm still going to have something to do after eating. ”

Dabao took a bite of steamed dumplings and looked like he liked them very much, "Mother, what you make is so delicious, I haven't eaten such delicious steamed dumplings for a long time." ”

"Then you can eat a few more, it was originally a reward for you, and you made a lot, enough to eat." Ji Wan sandwiched another steamed dumpling and put it in Dabao's bowl, and naturally the other two couldn't be left behind.

After lunch, Chen He held a family meeting, and the door was closed tightly, just for fear that someone would come suddenly.

Naturally, the three children were let out to play.

"Now let's calculate how much money we've made." Chen He took out a small box and estimated that it contained all the money in the family.

The box is small and rectangular, and the opening is an iron plate on the top, and when you push the iron plate to the right, it opens.

A lot of money, bits and pieces, a few cents, a few corners, and a great unity.

Chen He counted very carefully, for fear of missing any one, sorted out the counted money, and solemnly raised his head, "All the savings of our family are two thousand three, and I won't count some odds first." ”

"Mother, it's really fake, so much?" The second sister-in-law couldn't believe it.

Of course, the second sister-in-law was not alone in shock, but in surprise with five faces.

Chen He nodded, and put the money back in the iron box, "How could I lie to you, I have been doing business and setting up a stall recently, our family has a stable expenditure, and the food we usually eat is brought back by Xiao Wan, so naturally it didn't cost anything, and the money we saved before." ”

"We're the richest in the village!" The second brother rubbed it, looking expectant.

The eldest brother was a little excited, "Then for sure, this still has to be asked, thanks to our little sister, otherwise our family wouldn't have so much savings." ”

"That's for sure, by the way, Xiaomei, many guests ask us when we will release new products." The second brother himself almost forgot something important.

Ji Wan thought about it for a while, it is true that if there is no new product for too long, the stall will be eliminated, "I will go back and think about it carefully, and then I will come out with a new product." ”

After everyone agreed, Chen He began to say the following thing again, "There are too many potatoes we harvested before, some of them are about to spoil, and I feel distressed when I give them away, do you have any good solutions?" ”

Potato?

There are only a few recipes for potatoes in Ji Wan's mind, all of which are made into dishes, or steamed potatoes on rice.

"Mother, why don't you send some people to this potato!"

"Yes, we can't eat it, and it's a waste to put it away."

Chen He was still reluctant, and he was not very willing to give it away, but he grew it from his own family.

"Otherwise, I'll make the potatoes into potato foam, so that my mother won't be reluctant." Ji Wan thought of a method that was done by the older generation, and she was fortunate to eat it twice.

No one in the family had ever heard of this potato foam, but the sister-in-law asked everyone's thoughts, "What is this potato paste of little sister?" What's the food? ”

"It's the same way as making dumplings, but the skin is made of potatoes. I'll make a little bit in the afternoon and give you a taste, if it's delicious, I'll eat this for the next few days. ”

The problems are all solved, and the family meeting is over.

The day after the Lantern Festival, the three little ones are going to school, and they can worry about it in the future, the cloth bag they gave them before is already in tatters, and Ji Wan is ready to make another one.

Back in the house, Ji Wan was thinking about what the children's schoolbags should look like at this time, and if they were too modern, they would be a bit avant-garde.

Children in this era can't afford to use schoolbags made of new fabrics, and if they are a little willing, they will splice the rags at home one by one and put them together into a variety of patterns, so that the schoolbag is also quite fancy, but not monotonous.

There are also those who directly change the old clothes at home into school bags, which are relatively easier to do than the spliced cloth head, but the color seems a little monotonous, but smart parents will add a bright decorative pattern to it.

The most outrageous and down-to-earth is to directly use the feed bag as a schoolbag, or reduce the fertilizer bag a little to make a schoolbag, and waste utilization is very advocated.

Ji Wan entered the space and began to choose fabrics.

Now dark blue and army green are the most popular, and boys like it very much, especially Xiaobao, I don't know why I like army green very much.

He also begged her to make an army green coat.

The black ones are for the big treasures, the dark blue ones are for the second treasures, and the army green ones are for the small ones.

Schoolbags are easier to make, and they are just a piece of rope and a piece of cloth.

At about half past seven, Ji Wan finished his schoolbag.

Because it is made of Chen cloth, the color is not so bright, but it is a bit monotonous.

Ji Wan embroidered climbing bamboo on top of the black cloth bag, and also wrote a poem describing bamboo.

The dark blue cloth bag is embroidered with gold ingots, some large and some small, very cute.

On the top of the army green, the five-star red flag is embroidered, but a soldier wearing a military uniform and saluting is vivid.

After doing this, Ji Wan rubbed his sour eyes, he hadn't embroidered for too long, and his eyes became sour after embroidering for a while.

It was almost four o'clock, Ji Wan went to the kitchen and found the long-standing backlog of potatoes, which had been tied into sacks one by one, and she counted three bags.

I dragged a bag out with difficulty, and some of the potatoes were already showing signs of germination, but fortunately they didn't sprout, and they could still be eaten by cutting off the small pits that sprouted.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you two go and stuff."

The two of them said 'yes' and went to the kitchen.

Ji Wan took two enamels and went to the yard, and on the basin was a tool used to mash potatoes.

On the left and right sides are wooden sticks, and in the middle is a thin rectangular aluminum plate drilled with many dense small holes.

Put the potatoes on them as hard as rubbing clothes, and you can knead them into mashed potatoes, which is very laborious.

"Mother, what are you doing here?" The three cubs were originally playing in the yard, but they were attracted by Ji Wan, and they all gathered around to watch her.

Ji Wan stopped the mud rubbing work in his hand, "It's just to rub this potato into a puree, our potatoes have been left for too long." You see, they're all starting to sprout, and if you have green buds, you can't eat them, you're going to be poisoned. Now it's just a small pit that sprouts, just cut off this side. ”

"Then mother, let's help you!"

From Dabao's eyes, Ji Wan felt that he wanted to try, "Okay, you go to the kitchen and ask your aunt for another mud rubbing tool." ”

With Ji Wan's consent, the three cubs ran towards the kitchen.

It didn't take long to hold one in his hand that was the same as Ji Wan's, but that one had been used for a long time, and no matter how fast he rubbed it, it wouldn't hurt his hand.

After rubbing for half an hour, Erbao sat on the ground and raised his right hand, "Mother, my hand is about to break, I'm so tired!" ”

"The three of you are still here to replace it, you see that my mother has been rubbing alone for half an hour! You're here to help, so you can't give up halfway! ”

Hearing Ji Wan's education, Erbao also continued to rub the potatoes seriously.

After an hour, two large pots of potatoes were mushy.

When Erbao saw that he was finally freed, he immediately jumped up, never thinking that he had risen too violently, and his legs were a little numb.

"Alright, let's go play! I will give you a taste of the fruits of your labor. ”

"Okay! We're going to eat a lot. ”

……

Ji Wan put two pots of potato paste on a clean cloth and squeezed it vigorously to remove the excess potato moisture, leaving it to be kneaded into a pie crust.

"Little sister, the stuffing is ready." The sister-in-law put a pot of mixed stuffing on the stove anyway.

Ji Wan dipped a little and tasted it, "It's okay, let's put the stuffing in this and make it into a dumpling." ”

The speed of the three-person bag is much faster, and the second sister-in-law asked while wrapping it, "Is this really delicious?" ”

"You'll find out later."

After Ji Wan put the basket in the pot and steamed it, the sister-in-law took one and tasted it.

"Well, this one is quite delicious, let's change the filling every few days, and it won't be long before this potato can be eaten."

The potatoes are soft and soft, and the taste is no worse than that of steamed buns and the like, which can be said to be interesting.

After serving it on the table, Chen He ate one and gave a good review, "It's really good, so I finally don't have to give it away, when you say give it away, my flesh hurts." ”
