Chapter 5: Catching Snakes

Bamboo shoots do contain a kind of calcium oxalate, which needs to be removed at high temperatures, so the steps of eating bamboo shoots are more troublesome, you need to cook them first, and then soak them in water for a day to remove the astringency.

They don't know how to deal with it, that's why it's bitter and astringent.

As for eating the dead, it is because there is no oil and water in the stomach of the people in the famine, and after eating too many bamboo shoots, the stomach and intestines can't stand it, so something will happen.

"Bamboo shoots are not bitter at all, but you don't handle it properly, I happened to read it from a book, as long as this thing is handled properly, it is very delicious, better than fresh and tender vegetables, this winter, everyone is short of vegetables, I dig it out and sell it in a restaurant, it must be profitable, if you don't believe it, tomorrow I will dig some back and make it for you to eat."

Sheng Qingyun said confidently.

Seeing that Sheng Qingyuan was talking about things, Father Shen and Shen Zhao were silent.

Father Shen still couldn't believe it, and said, "Can this thing be eaten?" It won't be poisoned, right? ”

Sheng Qingyuan smiled and said, "If you're afraid, I'll eat it tomorrow." ”

As soon as these words came out, Father Shen's face was a little unbearable, and he said: "Then you can't eat more, although you know how to heal, but you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case——"

Shen Zhao hurriedly relieved the siege and yawned deliberately.

Seeing this, Sheng Qingyuan hurriedly said, "Are you sleepy?" I'll help you get out of bed. ”

Shen Zhao nodded.

The little couple was about to go to bed, and Shen's father would not be bored with himself, so he hurriedly went back to his room.

Sheng Qingyuan helped Shen Zhao to the bed and covered him with a quilt.

She was about to turn around and go back to sleep on her stool, when Shen Zhao suddenly said, "Aren't you tired from sleeping on a stool?" Won't it be unrealistic? ”

Sheng Qingyuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's okay, I sleep in the firewood room in the Sheng family, and there is straw on the ground, so it's good to have a stool." ”

Listening to Sheng Qingyuan's natural words, Shen Zhao's eyes flashed with a trace of distress.

He suddenly said: "You go to bed, this bed is big, it can sleep you, I won't do anything to you!" ”

Saying that, for fear that Sheng Qingyuan would not believe it, Shen Zhao also raised three fingers and made a gesture of vow.

This little show is really innocent and cute.

Sheng Qingyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You're all hurt like this, what can you do to me? I'm afraid of accidentally crushing your feet at night, so I still sleep on the bench. ”

As he spoke, Sheng Qingyuan turned off the lights and lay down.

Shen Zhao also lay down slowly, and at this time, Sheng Qingyuan said again: "If you want to urinate, remember to call me, don't hold it, it will be suffocated." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Zhao's handsome face suddenly turned red, even the roots of his ears were red, his breathing couldn't help but be a little faster, and his hands were tightly clutching the sheets underneath, looking nervous, as if he was facing a great enemy.

Fortunately, the lights had been turned off, and Sheng Qingyuan couldn't see him like this.

Shen Zhao wanted to say something, but he moved his thin lips and didn't know what to say.

In just a moment, Sheng Qingyuan had already let out an even long breathing sound.

She's been busy all day, and she's definitely tired.

Shen Zhao's eyes fell on Sheng Qingyuan's side, the moonlight was hazy, and her confused side face could be seen.

Shen Zhao's heart suddenly surged with a strange feeling, indescribable, inexplicable, but the tense emotions slowly relaxed, and he also became sleepy.

Compared with Shen Zhao and Sheng Qingyuan's quiet years, Liu Beichuan is much more miserable.

In order to rush to the capital as soon as possible to take up his post, after solving the troublesome marriage contract of Sheng Qingyuan, he set off with his parents overnight at dusk.

Originally, according to Liu Beichuan's calculations, if it was nightfall, he would just go to the county seat to stay for one night, and he would be able to leave at dawn tomorrow.

However, not long after leaving Zhushan Village, his stomach rumbled and screamed.

Liu Beichuan couldn't help it, so he could only get off the horse and solve it in the woods next to him.

However, after settling it, after only a few steps, his stomach began to turn over again.

Liu Beichuan could only stop again.

However, after walking for a while, he pulled his stomach more than a dozen times, and his legs and feet were a little paralyzed.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Liu Beichuan wanted to rush to the city quickly, but found that the horse also began to have diarrhea.

Moreover, it happened that when he was standing behind the horse, he began to pull, and that one poured thousands of miles and directly sprayed Liu Beichuan all over his face.

This horse was paralyzed, and there was really no way to hurry, so in desperation, he could only let Liu's father go to the city to find the doctor back.

Liu Beichuan could only wash in the river next to him, shivering from the cold, and because of his diarrhea immunity, he was immediately infected with wind chill, chills and fever, and he lay in the county hospital for a few days.

Of course, that's all for later.

Here, Sheng Qingyuan is a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Sheng Qingyuan got up, cooked meat porridge, brought it to Shen Zhao's bedside, and carried the basket up the mountain.

After going up the mountain, there was indeed a sea of bamboo, and there were bamboos everywhere.

There are so many bamboos, but the villagers of Zhushan Village do not know how to make bamboo products, so they can only let them grow naturally in the wild.

Sheng Qingyuan took a hoe and quickly dug up a basket of bamboo shoots.

was about to go down the mountain, when he suddenly heard a mocking voice: "Ouch, isn't this a slut who has just been divorced by the Liu family?" Why, the family can't afford to eat, so they want to dig this thing up and eat it? ”

The voice was hostile.

Sheng Qingyuan raised his eyes and saw several girls from Zhushan Village holding baskets of wild vegetables, looking at her angrily.

The leader is Li Zheng's granddaughter Xu Jiaojiao.

"You slut! didn't abide by women's morals, got engaged to Liu Beichuan, and hooked up with Shen Xiucai! It hurt Shen Xiucai to break his leg, and he wants to marry you broken shoes! Xu Jiaojiao has always secretly admired Shen Zhao, waiting for Shen Zhao to marry him after high school and become an official wife.

Who would have thought that he would kill a Sheng Qingyuan halfway, not only did he become a kiss silently, but he also caused Shen Zhao to break his leg!

Xu Jiaojiao is the youngest granddaughter in the Xu family, so she has always been favored, and she has always been clothed to reach out for food to open her mouth, and she will not come out to dig wild vegetables at all on weekdays.

She came out because she saw Sheng Qingyuan go up the mountain!

She wants to teach Sheng Qingyuan a good lesson!

Xu Jiaojiao unceremoniously grabbed Sheng Qingyuan's hair and cursed: "You broken shoes! What kind of face do you have to marry Shen Xiucai! Sisters! Beat her to death! Scratch her vixen-like face! ”

Xu Jiaojiao greeted a few girls from the same village behind her and pointed to Sheng Qingyuan.

Those girls usually only look at Xu Jiaojiao, and after listening to her words, they immediately stepped forward and scratched Sheng Qingyuan's face.

However, before they could make a move, Sheng Qingyuan grabbed Xu Jiaojiao's hair with his backhand, and then pulled it violently, and kicked her directly behind Xu Jiaojiao's buttocks, kicking her out.

Xu Jiaojiao didn't expect Sheng Qingyuan to stretch out his hand so neatly, he was kicked and directly ate a, and he suddenly bared his teeth in pain, stood up, and scolded: "Sheng Qingyuan!" You slut! How dare you hit me! I'm going to kick you out of Zhushan Village! Beat her to death! ”

The girls listened to Xu Jiaojiao's words and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

However, at this time, Sheng Qingyuan actually took out a snake from the hole where he was digging bamboo shoots and threw it directly at them.

When the girls saw Sheng Qingyuan throw out a snake, they were immediately frightened and screamed: "It's a snake!" Ah, it's a snake! ”

"Run! This snake bites! ”

A few girls, crying and shouting in an instant, fled in the wilderness.

Xu Jiaojiao saw the snake on the ground, and she was also trembling with fright.

This slut actually grabbed a snake with his bare hands! It's horrible!

"Sheng Qingyuan, you wait for me! I won't let you go! I won't let you go! Xu Jiaojiao said a cruel word, and she was so frightened that she fled in embarrassment.

Seeing that they were all gone, Sheng Qingyuan showed a sneer.

"How dare you hit me so little? What threat can a hibernating snake have, just catch it back and give it to Shenzhao to soak in wine and drink, which is good for the foot bones. Sheng Qingyuan snorted coldly, stepped forward to pick up the snake, tied it directly with a rope, and carried it down the mountain.

As soon as Sheng Qingyuan came down the mountain, he saw Xu Jiaojiao crying and standing in front of Shen Zhao to complain.

Shen Zhao was in a wheelchair with a cold expression.

After Sheng Qingyuan approached, Xu Jiaojiao saw the snake she was carrying, and her face suddenly turned pale, and she was about to shrink behind Shen Zhao, crying: "It's that snake!" She's just using snakes to scare us! This is a poisonous snake! She's going to bite us to death! ”

Shen Zhao's gaze fell on Sheng Qingyuan's face, moved his thin lips, and said, "You catch snakes?" ”

Sheng Qingyuan nodded and said, "The hibernating snake, it's best to catch it, just take it back and make wine for you to drink, it's good for your foot bones." ”

Shen Zhao's eyebrows were cold, but there was undisguised concern in his tone, and he said: "I'll just take medicine, don't catch this thing, and when you get bitten, it will be worth the loss." ”

Sheng Qingyuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know in my heart, you came here to pick me up early in the morning?" Isn't it cold? ”

As he spoke, he naturally pushed through Shen Zhao's wheelchair, and the two walked directly to Shen's house.

From the end to the end, the two of them seemed to have not heard Xu Jiaojiao speak, and regarded her as a completely transparent person, Xu Jiaojiao looked at their backs talking and laughing, and her face turned hideous with anger.

Sheng Qing Yuan! You slut! Wait for me!

Sheng Qingyuan pushed Shen Zhao back to his home, ran the snake with the medicinal herbs he had just gotten down the mountain, and then began to pound the bamboo shoots.

She brought a knife, removed the outer shell, and then put the remaining young bamboo shoots in a pot to cook at high temperature.

The boiled bamboo shoots are soaked in wooden barrels.

"Soak it for a day, and you can eat it in the evening." Sheng Qingyuan was so busy that he was sweating profusely and said to Shen Zhao.

Shen Zhao has always been reading in a wheelchair, and he looks serious, but only he knows that when he reads, he can't help but look at Sheng Qingyuan from the corner of his eye.

She looks serious and neat in her work, and she is indescribably good-looking.

Shen Zhao saw her smiling at herself coldly, and Qingjun's face couldn't help but flush slightly, so she could only hum.

Her craftsmanship is so good, this bamboo shoot must be delicious.

Shen Zhao couldn't help but faintly feel a trace of anticipation in his heart.

In the evening, Sheng Qingyuan drains the bamboo shoots that have been rinsed in water and then cuts them into granules.

She took some pork and minced it, stirred it with ginger and scallion water to taste, and then added bamboo shoots to make the filling.

After adjusting the filling, Sheng Qingyuan mixed flour again, rolled out dumpling skins, and wrapped dozens of fresh meat and bamboo shoot dumplings.

For the rest of the bamboo shoots, Sheng Qingyuan brought a clean jar and prepared to make sour bamboo shoots.

She felt that it was not cost-effective to sell fresh bamboo shoots, and if the restaurant knew how to handle them, they could quickly buy them from elsewhere.

So she plans to process it a little bit and make it into sour bamboo shoots to sell.

As long as you put some chili peppers, vinegar and salt in this sour bamboo shoot, it doesn't take much effort.

After the sour bamboo shoots were cooked, the steamed dumplings were also cooked, and Sheng Qingyuan brought the white and chubby dumplings to the dining table, still steaming.
