Xu Shiyan rummaged through the cabinet and found the sewing ticket, "Fortunately, I didn't lose it, I went to the Forestry Bureau store another day and bought one back." ”

The sixth child has learned to cut for so long, and he doesn't dare to say anything else, stepping on the sewing machine is definitely no problem.

If you buy it back, you won't be idle and no one will use it, so buy it.

"Huh? Third brother, do you want to buy a sewing machine? Farewell, that thing is too expensive. ”

A sewing machine costs 150 yuan, so why spend that money?

"The account can't be calculated like this, a sewing machine is used well, and it will be no problem for decades.

If our family has a sewing machine, you will be able to cut it, and then the family's clothes will be made by themselves, won't it be saved in a few years?

Besides, how many people in Donggang can cut and sew?

When you're done, you'll get all the tools in place, and if nothing else, you'll get a small tailor's shop in our house and make clothes for others. ”

Xu Shiyan shook his head with a smile, one hundred and fifty yuan was still easy for him to come up with.

Sewing machines, one of the three major pieces of the year, have to be purchased sooner or later.

Xu Shiqin was a little moved by what his brother said, "Third brother, are you really going to buy it?" ”

"Buy, I'll go there when I find a time in the next few days, and plant all our vegetable gardens first."

The Xu family's vegetable garden is quite big, just planting vegetables is not enough, how can such a few people eat so many vegetables?

Xu Shiyan plans to plant some yellow tobacco, sweet potatoes, and rice in the vegetable garden, so that the yellow tobacco can be sold, and the sweet potatoes and rice can be eaten as rice.

A while ago, Xu Shiyan got up early every day to turn over the ground, the vegetable garden had almost been cleaned up, and all kinds of vegetables and vegetables had been planted.

At present, there are no yellow tobacco seeds and sweet potato seedlings at home, so I have to go back to the big house to Taodeng.

Su Anying was out of confinement in a few days, and Zhou Guilan had lived here for more than a month, so she would definitely have to go back to the big house.

When Xu Shiyan planned to send his mother home, he would stop by to find some yellow tobacco seeds and sweet potato seedlings.

"Okay, you brothers and sisters don't talk there, hurry up and pack up for dinner."

Zhou Guilan had already prepared dinner and smiled and beckoned the brother and sister to come and eat.

"Patronizing and talking to the sixth child, I forgot about it.

Mom, I'll eat later, I picked up a few handfuls of big leaf celery today, and picked up a few wild eggs, let's deal with two more dishes.

In the past two days, I have only eaten small tofu, and I have a stomach upset. ”

Xu Shiyan suddenly remembered that he still had something in his backpack, so he hurriedly went to the outhouse to find the backpack and took out the big leaf celery and wild eggs inside.

"Oh, this big celery isn't too tall.

Donggang's end is later than the big house, and at this time, we are almost unable to eat. ”

Zhou Guilan looked at the half-foot-tall big leaf celery and muttered.

"Well, the solar term is late here in Donggang, and I think it can be ten days later than the big house."

The altitude of Donggang is high, close to Changbai Mountain, the temperature is low, and the solar term is indeed several days later.

"Hey, sixth, I also picked up a sour hoe board for you."

Xu Shiyan took out a sour hoe board from his pocket and handed it to Xu Shiqin.

"Now that I'm not in a big house, there's nowhere to pick a big neck for you."

The big neck is also a sour plant to eat.

A single stem with large leaves growing on it, mostly growing under the stone stalks by the river.

The stem is one and a half feet high, and it can be eaten when it is tender, sour, and slightly astringent.

In the era of scarce snacks, it is also a great joy to be able to eat a big neck.

In addition to sour hoe boards and big necks, there are also tiger knotweed seeds that can be eaten in spring.

Tiger knotweed, in fact, is the raspberry seedling, the kind of young seedling that emerges directly from the ground, half a foot high, fast and thick.

Remove the leaves, remove the skin and thorns on the outside of the stem, and eat the young stems inside.

The good taste is fragrant with a little sweetness, and some are bitter with astringency, all depending on luck.

Anyway, the children in the mountains have long practiced the ability to dare to eat anything.

In spring, the sour hoe board, the big neck, the tiger knotweed, the mountain sesame flower, the cow wave ridge flower, the tray, the jujube in the summer.

Mountain grapes, schisandra, soft dates, and even stinky plums that are not black in autumn are all eaten.

Especially the stinky plum, that thing is sour and astringent, you can't pull your tongue when you eat it, and the tongue that will be dyed is purple-black.

I can't poop after eating too much, and there are still a lot of children who love to eat.

In the era of high supplies, children could not eat shrimp fries, potato chips, popcorn, or Coke Sprite Mininda.

But they will try their best to find everything they can eat, to achieve simple happiness and satisfaction.

"It's better for my third brother to think about me for everything." Xu Shiqin hurriedly took the sour hoe board, pinched one and put it in his mouth to chew.

The slightest sour taste spread in his mouth, and the saliva suddenly became rich.

"This thing is really appetizing." While speaking, Xu Shiqin took the sour hoe board and walked into the house.

"Don't give your third sister-in-law to eat, she is in confinement, she can't eat these."

The sour hoe board is cold, the whole herb can cure scalds, Su Anying is still in confinement, but she can't eat that thing.

Xu Shiqin agreed, put the sour hoe board in the West House, and then took a sickle into the vegetable garden, cut two handfuls of leeks, picked them, washed and cut them, and kept the scrambled wild eggs.

Zhou Guilan took a handful of big-leaf celery and shook it, then picked off the leaves and grass, washed it with water, and threw it into the pot to scald.

"Reincarnation Paradise"

Then take it out and dry it in cold water, cut it into sections, and then mix it with some chopped green onions, some salt and soy sauce.

Wild vegetables like big oil, and it's not delicious to fry without oil, so it's better to mix a cold dish.

"There seems to be a piece of bacon at home, I'll chop it tomorrow, let's eat steamed buns."

Large-leaved celery is best eaten with cabbage, buns or dumplings. Zhou Guilan kept her hands on her hands, and said while mixing vegetables.

Xu Shiyan wanted to say, what kind of buns to wrap, dumplings are delicious, and big-leaf celery dumplings are a must.

But think about it, what kind of dumplings do you take?

It's okay to say that the meat is still the meat ticket given by Guo Shouye last time, but it can be bought, what about white noodles?

There is a little bit of white flour left in the house, and the last time the mother-in-law came, they all made dumplings, what dumplings did they have without white bread?

Forget it, the buns are just buns, and the vegetable buns with rice and noodles are also very good, don't think so much about them this year.

Waiting for the spring of next year, I will catch two little piglets and raise them, not for anything else, and I can eat some meat at home.

I didn't dare to raise it this year, mainly because Su Anying gave birth to a baby, I was afraid that she would be tired, and the family had a thin foundation and didn't have much food, so what to feed?

There were two more dishes for dinner, cold salad with big-leaf celery, and fried wild eggs with leeks, but unfortunately Su Anying didn't eat them in one bite.

Leeks are back to milk, and women in confinement can't eat cold salads, for fear that she will have diarrhea.

Su Anying just watched it with a pitiful face.

"Daughter-in-law, tomorrow cabbage buns, you can eat that, you can bear with it tonight.

The confinement will be out in a few days, and it will be good when you are out of confinement, you can eat whatever you want. ”

Xu Shiyan, who was bowing his head to eat vegetables, looked up and saw his daughter-in-law's resentful little eyes, and hurriedly comforted her.
