Chapter 126: Lotus Root
"That's right, you don't know how stingy the village chief is, and he won't let him touch it." Zhou Ping said, with a disgusted expression on his face.
He wanted to touch the bicycle, but he was scolded by the village chief, and he was embarrassed.
"That'...... Are there any conditions for borrowing a car? Song Xi asked.
"If you lose a penny at a time, the whole family will deduct two years' work." Zhou Yi put his hand on Song Xi's shoulder and walked directly inside.
The three brothers were dismissed, "You all hurry home!" When I'm done, I'll come over and wash the crabs. ”
Song Xi nodded thoughtfully, the village chief's arrangement is still okay.
In this way, everyone can take care of the bicycle a little more, and it will also eliminate the idea of some people wanting to sell the bicycle quietly.
There are hundreds of households in a village, and there will definitely be a few people who are not right-hearted.
On the way to the stove house, Song Xi saw the clothes hanging on the bamboo pole to dry, and his cheeks were a little red.
In fact, she can take her clothes to the supermarket and wash them in the washing machine in the pantry, but Zhou Yi gets up early every day and washes the clothes of both of them.
It's just that now the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the clothes are put on like this, and it's really hard to dry.
If there is a hanger to hang clothes to dry......
Hanger?
Thinking of the hanger, Song Xi patted her forehead heavily, there are so many daily necessities in the supermarket, why didn't she think of taking a few simple solid color hangers out to use?
"What's wrong?" Seeing that the little daughter-in-law suddenly beat herself like this, Zhou Yi asked puzzled.
But it was more of a worry, and seeing that there was no change on her fair forehead, I was relieved.
Song Xi pointed to the clothes on the bamboo pole, "The clothes can't be dried at all when they are put on like this, if there is a small shelf, it will be better to prop up the clothes to dry." ”
Song Xi said and reached out to touch his clothes, which could only be half-dried at night.
But now they have enough clothes, so they don't have to worry about running out of clothes to wear.
Zhou Yi nodded thoughtfully, but did not immediately express his position.
He is not sure about things he can't say, for fear of disappointing her.
I'll talk about it when the research comes out.
"What does it smell like? It smells so good! "Before I got to the door of the stove house, I smelled the fragrance coming from the stove house.
Now that Zhou Yi has eaten too many good things, he won't exaggerate and drool.
"Stewed pig's trotters!" Song Xi stuffed two more large firewood into the bottom of the stove, and then pulled Zhou Yi to fish for crabs in the water tank under the eaves.
Now that crabs are in high demand, Zhou Ping and they found a few honest male comrades in the village to help catch crabs.
When I come to clean the crabs at night, I bring them and put them in a water tank to raise.
Even if it is only nourished by the spiritual spring water for a day, the taste is incomparably delicious.
When there are not enough crabs in the tank, Song Xi will take crabs from the supermarket to make up for them.
Since the crab business started, Song Xi's transaction with Zhou Xiaoshu, Zhou Xiaohua and Aunt Li next door has been settled in the forest in the village.
They just put the things there, and she will find an opportunity to take them back, and she will also put the money in the designated place.
It's fair to say they're making face-to-face deals.
In the evening, the little boy came with a fish basket.
Song Xi wrapped him ten sweet potato cakes, four boiled eggs, and two white-fleshed nectarines in an oiled paper bag.
The main reason is that the little boy comes early every day, and she hasn't started cooking dinner yet!
After the little boy dealt with today's little fish, he looked at Song Xi with a puzzled face, and Song Xi asked puzzledly, "Little friend, do you have anything else to say?" ”
The little boy was embarrassed and tugged at his pants with his hands, "Sister, can I not come to dinner?" I think...... I want to ......"
"You want to exchange it for money, don't you?" Song Xi smiled slightly, reached out and patted the little boy's shoulder, "Of course you can, then it's a penny and a pound, how about it?" ”
Every household has harvested corn and sweet potatoes, and the village is estimated to be about to share the collective sweet potatoes and corn for everyone.
It can be said that during this period of time, everyone is not short of coarse grains to eat, and when they have food, they naturally want money, and Song Xi can understand it.
"Thank you, sister, but I'll clean up the fish and send it to my sister." The little boy bowed slightly to Song Xi, then took the food Song Xi gave him, turned around and ran away.
Song Xi cleaned the small fish that the little boy had handled, put it in a dustpan to control the moisture, and when dinner was ready, he just drew some charcoal from the bottom of the pot and baked the small fish.
"Gone?" Watching Song Xi enter the door, Zhou Yi, who was cooking fried squid with onions, asked.
Zhou Yi knew what Song Xi often gave the little boy to eat, but he didn't know that there was a deal between them.
"Yes." Song Xi came to the stove, looked at the onions and squid in the pot, and couldn't help swallowing, "Brother Yi, your cooking skills are really getting better and better, this dish of fried squid with onions is made by Brother Yi, which is called a colorful, flavorful, and flavorful!" ”
"Isn't that because my daughter-in-law taught me well?" Zhou Yi winked at Song Xi, that look looked a little cute.
Dinner was a large pot of steamed dumplings, stewed pig's trotters with lotus root, stir-fried squid with onions, and garlic rattan and sautéed amaranth.
Song Xi made a dumpling dipping sauce with green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar and Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, and then the two of them ate it.
The steamed dumplings are rolled into the dipping sauce, and the entrance is spicy and fragrant.
Although it is a frozen dumpling, it tastes very good.
Song Xi ate ten steamed dumplings and drank a bowl of lotus root pig's trotter soup, and drank the hot soup, it was so comfortable!
"What is this? It tastes powdery and glutinous, and it's weird and delicious. Zhou Yi used chopsticks to insert a piece of lotus root and said to himself.
"The old man said that it was a lotus root, which grew in the pond over there, and it grew under the silt, and it needed someone to dig it."
I don't even know what a lotus root is, and the product resources of Ping'an Village are really too weak.
Suddenly, Song Xi's eyes lit up, "If I can meet that old man next time, I will buy some lotus root seeds from him and plant them in the ditch at the side of the field, so that everyone can eat lotus root in the future." ”
"Will they sell you seeds?" Zhou Yi couldn't bear to splash cold water on his little daughter-in-law, but he felt that it was unlikely.
This lotus root tastes good and can be sold for money, who would be so stupid to pass on the seeds?
Wouldn't that threaten the profits of their own village?
"Who knows, if you can meet it, you can say it, and if you can't meet it, forget it."
When the time comes, whether she can meet it or not, she just takes the vegetable lotus seeds from the supermarket.
There are not only vegetable lotus seeds but also bowl lotus seeds in the supermarket, but the most important thing at the moment is to fill your stomach.
As for food for thought, most people don't need it for the time being.
Zhou Yi looked up at his little daughter-in-law, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise into a good-looking arc.
Song Xi looked at his eyes and felt a pimple in his heart, "Brother Yi, if you have something to say, don't look at people with such strange eyes, people who look at them are embarrassed." ”
