77 departure
Yao Xiaoqing and the taro arrived at the taro field, the crystal clear raindrops swayed on the taro leaves, a gust of wind blew, and the raindrops fell like pearls with broken threads.
Yao Xiaoqing commanded the taro stalks, picked up the taro stalks that were growing well, and cut off a few taro stalks outside. Looking down, you can see that around each taro plant, there are a lot of taro emerging from the soil.
The taro that they found back should be the same variety as the taro of later generations. Of the fields that were opened, taro was planted the most, and the taro that was brought back before and after was picked out and planted four or five acres.
Ah Worm and Ah Shui follow the planting methods taught by Yao Xiaoqing, and they come to take care of and fertilize when they have time, and they can't even see a single weed in the field.
It didn't take long for the people to fill the basket they had brought with them. Yao Xiaoqing went to the vegetable field and pumpkin field again, but found no stagnant water, so he took a few people back with backpacks.
Yao Xiaoqing returned to the mountain and saw that Shan Emu and the others had washed out the fish and vegetables and hung them on the fence to dry.
Shan Amu said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, the weather is clear, let's go out to have a look, we brought a sweet potato, and we won't come back for lunch." ”
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Okay! It must have grown up in the water, so you should be careful when you go to the river. ”
"Hey!" Several people left with backpacks on their backs, and even Yaya and Ah Sen followed.
Hua looked at the taro stalks piled on the ground, and knew what Yao Xiaoqing was going to do to eat freshly.
"Xiaoqing, what do you want to do with the taro stalks?"
Yao Xiaoqing took a wooden stool and sat down, "I'll teach you." ”
The two removed the head and tail of the taro stalk, tore off the outer layer of fiber, washed it, divided it into a small half, and strung it with thin rattan strips to dry.
Boil everything else in boiling water for a few seconds, remove the blanched taro stalks, wash them in clean water, and soak them for an hour.
Scoop it up and drain it, the taro stalk will become soft and lying on the ground, and then take it and hang it on the bamboo pole to dry, store it after drying, and take it out if you want to eat it and soak it in warm water, and you can fry the kimchi and eat.
Those taro stalks that are dried, after they are half dry, cut into small pieces, put them in jars, put a layer of taro stalks, put a layer of salt, and thicken layer by layer.
After the taro stalk is loaded, I found a stone to wash and press it on the taro stalk, and let it sit for a few days before eating.
The two of them were busy in the yard for a long time before they made all the taro stalks.
Flower said to her with a smile; "Xiaoqing, I see that you make two ways to eat, what is the taste?"
"What is in the jar is pickled taro stalks, and what is boiled and dried is dried vegetables." Yao Xiaoqing replied.
"There are so many taro stalks below, let's pick them all back and make them into dried vegetables and sauerkraut, which can be eaten for a long time."
"Hmmm! It's all done, and there are a lot of them. After he was free, he found that his hands were itchy for a while, and Yao Xiaoqing said to Hua, "Follow me." ”
The two walked to the earthen stove, Yao Xiaoqing took the jar on the stove, stretched out his hand, and roasted it on the fire for a while, and his hand stopped itching.
Hua touched the dry hand and laughed, "Xiaoqing, you have a lot of ways." ”
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and thought: It's not that I have many ways, this is the experience that people have summed up in life.
"In the future, you will wash the taro, and you will tell Shan'am about this method."
Hua nodded and looked at the sky, "Xiaoqing, it's time to make lunch." ”
"Okay, Uncle Niu said that he wanted to eat fish balls, let's just cook a fish ball, burn a pot of fish intestines, and then cook some yams."
Yao Xiaoqing poured some water, salt, egg whites of wild eggs, wild garlic paste, and Poria cocos powder into the fish puree, took two pairs of bamboo chopsticks, and pressed a clay pot with one person, and stirred the fish puree vigorously in one direction until the fish was strong.
"Xiaoqing, you go to burn the fish intestines, and I'll squeeze the fish balls."
"Okay, I'll stew some more bone broth and cook the fish balls later."
Hua brought the clay pot to the stove, grabbed a ball of meat paste with his left hand, squeezed it with a fist, squeezed out a small fish ball from the tiger's mouth, caught it with a wooden spoon with his right hand, put it into a clay pot filled with water, soaked for a while and then cooked.
Yao Xiaoqing cut the fish intestines and fish liver into short sections, grabbed a little salt, put it in and kneaded it for a while, cleaned it, chopped some wild garlic, cut a handful of garlic seedlings, and brought it to the stove. Standing in front of the stove, he sighed while frying fish intestines: such a fat fish intestine, if there is pickled ginger, pickled pepper and kimchi stir-fried, then the taste will be suitable.
Wait for the flowers to squeeze out all the fish balls, and the bone broth is also stewed.
Yao Xiaoqing added two thick sticks of firewood to the stove, and Hua scooped up the fish balls with a colander made of fine bamboo strips, put them into the bone broth, and when all the fish balls in the jar floated, Yao Xiaoqing took out a firewood stick from the stove, boiled for a while, put some garlic seedlings, and poured them into the vegetable pot.
The boiled potatoes from the jar were taken out and brought to the table, and the workers came back one after another.
Yaohu said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, in the afternoon, we can build the kang bed in the house that was repaired first, and they can use it when they go to find some stone slabs and come back to pave them." ”
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "I'm asleep, wait for us to cut some grass and come back, weave a few mats, and when you come back, we'll move down." ”
Yaohu nodded, "It's okay." ”
The bull sucked his saliva when he saw the fish balls in the vegetable bowl, "I like to eat fish balls the most, but unfortunately I have to go to Qiushan, and I can't eat delicious food on the way." ”
Yao Xiaoqing smiled after hearing this: "Uncle Niu, I will cook some cakes for you tomorrow morning, cook some bacon and salted eggs, and you will eat them on the road." ”
Ah Chun looked at him and laughed, "Bull, how old are you!" More greedy than Yaya and Asen. ”
When they came back from the river, they came back with some fish and prawns.
In the evening, everyone prepared the baskets, baskets and straw sandals to take to Qiushan, and set off for Qiushan early tomorrow morning.
Yaohu said to Dashi: "I'm not in the tribe, if you have something, discuss it with Xiaoqing, and she can do whatever she says!" ”
"Yes, the chief," the group replied in unison.
Yao Xiaoqing said to Yao Hu: "Father, don't worry, I will be optimistic about the tribe." ”
Yaohu rubbed her balls, "Father knows that my Xiaoqing is the most capable." ”
Mu Ba took two Poria cakes and gave them to the two, Mu Ya looked at him and said, "I heard them say that they cooked fish balls, and I ...... them."
Mu Ba choked and said, "I'm not that thick-skinned. With that, he turned around and walked out.
The next day, before dawn, a few old Eminem got up to prepare food, baked some poria cakes, boiled some duck eggs and salted duck eggs, as well as bacon and jerky.
Gradually, a glimmer of dawn came out of the east, and the birds in the forest chirped in the branches, and the sky gradually brightened. Everyone got up.
Sam Eminem brought the food to the table, and everyone ate the food. Yao Xiaoqing gave Mu Feng the snake medicine and the golden creation medicine and asked him to pack them. Yama Eminem gave the basket with the food to Mu Feng and the bull.
Muba walked out of the cave with Muya and Da Eminem, and the two hung their heads and said nothing, silently following Muba.
