471 vegetable garden
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was no need to go to the store, Lin Lan had a rare lazy sleep and woke up naturally.
Wearing a lilac muslin dress, I opened the curtains and saw Li Xiangyang carrying a shower in the yard to water the flowers and trees, and Xiaodouzi rolling hoops in the yard.
The two of them felt the gaze from upstairs, turned their heads to look, and Li Xiangyang smiled: "It's nine o'clock, aren't you hungry?"
Xiaodouzi crossed her waist and looked at Lin Lan, "Mom, hurry up and come down for breakfast."
"Let's go down!" Lin Lan turned around and went back to open the curtains, folded the cool quilt and washed up and went downstairs.
Lao Li came in with a cabbage and a basket of vegetables: "The tomatoes are all old and have fallen to the ground, and the cabbage is also moss, so open it and cut it off, and cook it for you to eat."
Lin Lan hurriedly said, "Dad, you let me come."
"Good! In the morning, I chopped some pickled cowpeas and Chaotian peppers and fried a bowl of cheeks, which was sour and spicy, and both the beans and Xiangyang said they were delicious."
"It's hot and humid, I'm afraid it's going to rain." Lin Lan saw that there was still a steel pot on the stove, and when she opened the lid of the stove, the water in the pot was bubbling with bubbles.
"It looks like it's going to rain today, so while I'm idle at home today, I dug up the taro in the field, pulled out the radish, dried some shredded radish and pickled it and ate it."
Lao Li cut off the vegetable moss, put it in the basket, and turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
Lin Lan took a tomato and flushed it under the faucet, and took a bite, which was very refreshing.
When the weather is hot, the vegetables grown in the vegetable field grow wildly, and they often grow old before they have time to eat.
As soon as Lin Lan finished cooking the noodles, the little beans crackled and ran into the yard: "Mom, the chrysanthemums you planted are blooming, look good!"
"Really, Mom ate the noodles and take a look." Lin Lan saw that he was sweating profusely, "Go to the handkerchief and wipe the sweat."
"I'll take a bite of noodles." Xiaodouzi opened his mouth, and Lin Lan fed him, "Is it delicious?"
Little Bean's eyebrows wrinkled together: "It's so sour, it's sour, I don't like it."
"It's good to eat some sour on a hot day, appetizer!"
"No, I'll go and play with Brother Dandan."
"Okay, don't run down the street."
"Got it." Little Bean turned around and ran.
Lin Lan also knew that her taste during this period was a little strange, and after she was full, she washed the dishes and looked at the chrysanthemums. These flowers were sent by Yao Xiuyun not long after they were moved over.
When I planted it, I looked almost the same, but I didn't expect that the flowers that bloomed were purple, yellow, and crimson, and the blooming petals were like silk, which was really beautiful.
The two golden cinnamon trees also bloomed, and the clusters of brilliant golden flowers on the branches bloomed one after another, standing in front of the flower trees, the air was full of sweetness.
Lin Lan walked around the yard, orange and cherry trees, and pear trees... All of them were planted alive, and Lao Li also found a fig tree to plant in the corner of the courtyard wall.
When I walked to the back garden, I saw Li Xiangyang and Lao Li in the vegetable field, there were several kinds of vegetables planted in the vegetable field in the backyard, some of the autumn eggplants still had purple flowers, and some had withered.
Vines crawl everywhere, and the vines have small lilac trumpet-shaped flowers blooming on them.
Li Xiangyang pointed to the bamboo basket: "Xiaolan, you see we picked a lot of tomatoes."
Lin Lan walked into the vegetable field and saw that the bamboo baskets were almost full: "I didn't expect to plant more than a dozen, and there were so many fruits!"
Li Xiangyang sighed: "Give Shui Qing Ayong and them some over, and we can't finish it, it's a pity that it's bad!"
Lin Lan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "You can boil tomato sauce, bread dipped in tomato sauce, steamed bread dipped in tomato sauce, steamed bread dipped in tomato sauce are delicious."
"Okay, I'll do it later!"
Lao Li pointed to the cowpeas and green beans whose leaves were all withered and yellowed on the bean rack: "And those cowpeas, pick them and blanch them and dry them to eat."
"Good!" Lin Lan helped Li Xiangyang finish picking the tomatoes, and then went to pick the red Erjingtiao before picking cowpeas.
Some of the cowpeas and green beans on the vines have dried up, and they are plucked and dried to be planted next year.
The three of them were busy in the field for more than two hours before they picked all the vegetables that should be picked in the field, and they picked ten
An old winter melon, and an old pumpkin.
Li Xiangyang said, "There will be no pumpkins in the vegetable field next year."
Lin Lan thought for a moment: "Just plant one and pick some tender pumpkins to eat."
"Oh!" Li Xiangyang pulled up the bamboo poles that had dried up the vines, "Only autumn cucumbers grow best."
Lin Lan nodded: "Pull out the radish and cabbage, dig out the ground, and sprinkle some spinach, rape, cabbage, cabbage and cabbage."
"Okay!"
Lao Li looked at his watch: "Xiangyang, it's half past eleven, I'm going to kill a duck, you dig some taro and come back to cook the duck to eat."
"Good!" Li Xiangyang tied the unused bamboo poles with ropes, put them in the backyard hut, came out with a hoe, and began to dig taro.
Lin Lan put the radish and cabbage on the eaves, took a knife to cut off the radish tassels and roots, cleaned them and began to cut the shredded radish.
Li Xiangyang came over with taro, saw the shredded radish in the dustpan, and said, "I think Mom's pickled mustard is delicious."
"Hmm! Xiuyun ate it and asked me what I wanted!" Lin Lan spread out the shredded radish, took it to the yard and put it under the eaves to dry, and went back to the house to continue cutting the shredded radish.
After a while, Li Xiangyang also came over with a kitchen knife: "Dad said he cooked, let me help you cut shredded radish."
Lin Lan smiled: "Then the rest of the radish will be handed over to you, I will go and wash the cabbage and dry it, and eat the sauerkraut."
The two were busy until Xiaodouzi called for dinner, and then dried all the shredded radish and cabbage.
Back in the front yard, Lao Li and Xiaodouzi had already put the food on the table, and Lin Lan saw that there were still golden buds on the plate.
Lao Li smiled: "Seeing that there are still bud noodles, I beat a few eggs and noodles, and stick them on the side of the pot, which tastes good."
"Mom, the bud is delicious, I have eaten two pieces." Xiaodouzi looked at Lao Li, "Grandpa, I will learn to cook with you in the future."
Lao Li Le nodded: "Okay! A man who can cook is a good man who can please his wife."
Xiaodouzi shook his head decisively: "I don't want to please my wife, I'll make it for you to eat!"
Lao Li grabbed a duck leg and put it in his bowl: "The little grease mouth will make us happy."
Lin Lan smiled: "That's it, when you grow up, you cry and shout to beg your wife."
"No, my wife is the most troublesome." Little Bean picked up the duck leg and took a bite of it.
All three laughed.
"Stinky boy, I don't know where I heard it."
After eating, Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang blanched the cowpeas and green beans they picked back, spread them out and dried them in the mat, and pickled the others that could be pickled.
After the two vitex strips and Chaotian peppers are washed and dried, the sea pepper noodles are licked, and the cucumbers are soaked in the jar.
Cut the top of the tomato with a knife, cut out the tomato stalk with a knife, boil a pot, put the tomato in a blanching for one minute, remove it and dry it to peel it, and put it in a porcelain basin.
After tearing off all the tomato skins, squeeze it, put it in a pot, add rock sugar, and simmer for more than half an hour.
When the tomato juice becomes thick and there is no moisture, add salt and mix well, scoop the tomato paste into a small jar while it is hot, seal, cool and put in the refrigerator.
