Lin Lan entered the stove room, first went to the room to look at Xiaodouzi, and saw that he was asleep in the bed, so she turned around and went to the stove room.

Li Xiangyang sent Brother Yong away, came in from outside with a clip back, and looked at her gently, "Brother Yong's clothes are wet, I didn't change them for him here, I gave him the bicycle and rode away." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the cupboard, took a mouthful of plates, and put a bud of pork liver in it, "I left some liver and stir-fried pork liver." ”

"Hmm!" Lin Lan nodded and didn't look at him.

Li Xiangyang pulled her: "I'll cook, you go make the bed for Qiaohui." ”

Lin Lan glared at him with a red face and walked towards the room. Li Xiangyang watched her enter the house with a smile in his eyes, took a melon scoop, scooped water into the pot, and washed the rice into the pot.

Lin Lan took out a mattress, quilt, and bed sheets from the cabinet, carried them to the side room, packed up the doll books on the bed and put them in the box, made the bed, and went to the West Chamber's laneway with an umbrella.

The chickens and geese were standing in a row and huddled under the eaves, Lin Lan opened the door of the chicken pen, went back and scooped a scoop of chicken food into the chicken food bowl, and cooed...... Evoked.

Three roosters and two big white geese ran fast, followed by meaty chickens and hens, running to the eaves and huddled in front of two chicken food bowls to grab food.

Qiaohui opened the pigsty door and came out, her hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, Lin Lan hurriedly went into the house and took a dry towel and handed it to her: "Quickly wipe your hair." ”

Qiao Hui took the soft towel, froze for a moment, and hurriedly returned the towel to Lin Lan: "Cousin, just take an old one and give it to me." ”

"Take it!" Lin Lan smiled, "I, Douzi, Sister Yuezhen, the towels are all used separately." This one will be used for you to wash your face later, and I'll give you another one for bathing later. ”

Seeing Lin Lan say this, Qiao Hui had to nod: "Got it!" She dried her hair, looked at the towel in her hand, and felt that the outside was really different from the mountains.

Such a soft washcloth, I have never seen it before. The handkerchief used to wash the face at home is still woven by my mother with twine, and there are only two handkerchiefs for more than a dozen people in the family, one for the old man and his brother, and one for her mother and sister-in-law.

Qiaohui secretly made up her mind to learn the craft from her cousin. My cousin said that my cousin's cakes were delicious, and that my cousin wanted to pay her.

When she learned to earn wages, she asked her cousin to help buy salt and rice for her mother and the old man to bring back, and with the extra money, she bought two more pieces of the kind that the captain wore and made them new clothes.

Lin Lan fed the chickens, went to the vegetable field with an umbrella and pulled green onions, radishes, and celery and walked to the eaves, and saw Qiaohui holding a towel in a stupid daze, and said with a smile: "Qiaohui, are aunts and uncles in good health?" ”

"Good!" Qiaohui put the towel on the bamboo pole and squatted down to help Lin Lan choose vegetables, "Cousin, my eldest cousin asked my old man to plant more pumpkins and big white beans in the spring next year...... Is it true that you want to receive it? ”

"Really!" Lin Lan said slowly, "Let them have a variety of pumpkins, artichoke, red lotus, old pumpkins are carried out by mules, and artichoke and red potatoes are made into vermicelli, and I will help you sell them when they are sent." ”

Qiaohui nodded happily: "Cousin, we still have ginger taro vermicelli, my mother asked me to bring you some, you like to eat it, and I will send it to you next time." ”

Lin Lan thought for a while, and remembered that ginger taro was a bit similar to canna, and bloomed safflower: "I've seen ginger taro, but I haven't heard of ginger taro powder!" ”

"I'll show you." Qiaohui put the selected celery in the basket, turned around and walked towards the back of the clip she brought, took out a handful of pale yellow, crystal clear vermicelli and handed it to Lin Lan, "Cousin, this is vermicelli made of ginger taro, which tastes soft and slippery, and is better than red vermice." ”

After seeing it, Lin Lan felt that it was a bit similar to the dry lotus root powder that was a delicacy when she traveled to Guangxi before, but she didn't expect that the dry lotus root in Guangxi was the ginger taro here, and said with a smile: "Bright, let's cook it tomorrow and taste it." ”

"Hey!" Qiaohui carried the ginger taro powder and the back of the clip into the stove room, and went to the stove to help Li Xiangyang light the fire.

Lin Yuezhen took a shower and returned to the stove room with a basin, and when she saw Li Xiangyang cooking, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked him to let her go to do it.

Li Xiangyang smiled: "Sister Yuezhen, you are busy with yours, I can do it." ”

Lin Lan came in from the back door with a basket and said with a smile: "Let's try Chef Li's craftsmanship tonight." ”

Li Xiangyang smiled and nodded: "Okay!" A few of you ladies are waiting to eat. ”

Lin Lan smiled and glanced at Qiaohui, who was sitting in front of the stove obediently: "Hungry, right?" ”

"Not hungry!" Qiao Hui turned her head and pointed to the back of the clip, "Cousin, you take out the contents inside." ”

"Thank you!" Lin Lan walked over, took out the things in the back of the clip one by one, and placed them on the board, which contained dried mushrooms, black fungus, peppercorns, as well as grass and grass fruits.

She found that the dried mushrooms in the small sack actually contained porcini mushrooms, morel mushrooms, and a few lion's mane mushrooms: "Qiaohui, these dried mushrooms are all good things!" Why didn't my aunt take it out and sell it for money? ”

Who said that the mountains are poor, and the people in the mountains can't exchange money for treasures!

Qiao Hui smiled: "Cousin, there are a lot of bigfoot mushrooms, porcini mushrooms, and morels in the mountains, and you can't exchange them for a few dollars if you take them to the supply and marketing cooperative." My old man said that lion's mane mushrooms are not easy to find, so he called me to bring them to you and your aunt to taste! My aunt said, "If you like to eat, I'll bring it all to you." ”

Lin Lan then remembered that porcini mushrooms, bigfoot mushrooms, and morels were still easy to find in this era, and lion's mane mushrooms have always been very rare.

"Ginger tea is ready, drink a bowl." Li Xiangyang brought the ginger tea to the table, picked up two lion's mane mushrooms and looked at them, "I ate them when I was a few years old, and lion's mane mushrooms are a good thing!" Go back and bring a letter to bring them out for money. ”

Qiao Hui shook her head again and again: "When I was a child, Uncle Dashi next door was lucky to find half a basket, carried it out and sold it, and was arrested and locked up for a long time, and the family thought that he was captured by Lao Xiong!" ”

Lin Lan thought to herself, why don't you go into the mountains this time to have a look, and collect some dried mushrooms and sell them before the New Year. scooped up a small half bowl of ginger tea and handed it to Qiao Hui and Lin Yuezhen, "Drink less, let's eat immediately." ”

She drank half a bowl, went to the room to get clean cotton shoes, sat on the edge of the bed and kissed Xiaodouzi: "Son, it's dark, it's time to eat." ”

Xiaodouzi rubbed her eyes and looked at her: "Mom, I'm not hungry!" ”

"Aunt Zhou, Uncle Li Wu gave you so many snacks, how could you be hungry!" Lin Lan pulled him up and took out a jacket for him to put on, "Eat less and drink some ginger tea, otherwise you won't be able to go to school if you catch a cold." ”

"Oh!" Little Bean nodded, got out of bed and put on her shoes.

Lin Lan led him out, pointed at Qiaohui and said, "Call Auntie." ”

"Auntie!" Xiaodouzi looked at her curiously, "Mom, where did my aunt come from, why didn't I see my aunt last time I went to my grandmother's house?" ”

Qiao Hui nodded happily: "I know your name is Xiaodouzi, and my eldest cousin said that you are very smart!" ”
