On the day of the winter solstice, Ruyi planned to make dumplings to eat at night, but he didn't find flour in the kitchen, and asked the fat cook to know that the flour at home had been used up some time ago and had not been bought.

The fat cook knew that she was going to make dumplings at night, so she said that she would go out to buy flour now. Ru Yi said that she went to buy it herself, but in fact, she took the opportunity to go out for a walk.

Ru Yi left the kitchen and went to the study instead, asking Yuan Liang if she wanted to accompany her to the street to buy flour. Yuan Liang has been busy with large and small cases for more than ten days in a row, and it is rare that there is no important matter on the day of the winter solstice, coupled with the kind invitation of his wife, he naturally wants to go.

Yuan Liang is now a celebrity in Qinghe County, and it can be said that everyone knows about it, from the old man in his seventies and eighties to the children of five or six years old, who talk about the great achievements of the original adult every day.

So much so that the couple went out on the street, and the people greeted them very warmly. After a while, his mouth was dry, and Ru Yi felt that the people in the city were too enthusiastic, and the couple was almost overwhelmed.

Ru Yi walked on the bustling street, saw his favorite winter bamboo shoots at a stall, and thought of roasting meat with winter bamboo shoots, and his saliva was about to flow. She never thought that now that she had just entered winter, there were winter bamboo shoots, which was really rare, and it was a pity not to buy them.

Ru Yi plans to buy a few catties of winter bamboo shoots and go home to burn them and eat them to satisfy his hunger.

When I came to the stall, the person selling winter bamboo shoots was a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old, with a delicate and lovely appearance, and there was a man and a woman standing beside her, they looked very young, and looked at the people in front of them timidly.

Ru saw that the clothes on their bodies were all torn, and they must have had a very bad time, she said, "Little girl, how do you sell these winter bamboo shoots?" ”

The little girl's eyes were clear, her voice was high, and she said, "Winter bamboo shoots cost twenty dollars a catty." ”

"Twenty Wen?" Yuan Liang was surprised: "That's almost catching up with the price of pork!" ”

"Rare is expensive!" The little girl said: "Now this season to eat bamboo shoots is to be fresh, just these winter bamboo shoots sold on the ground, I dug in the mountains all day, calculated by labor, twenty yuan a catty, not expensive." ”

Ru Yi looked at the weak arms and said, "Little girl, these are all dug by you?" ”

The little girl nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Ru Yi was really surprised, digging winter bamboo shoots is not digging spring bamboo shoots, winter bamboo shoots are hidden under the soil, and it is very, very difficult to find. However, she did have a bit of a craving for winter bamboo shoots.

She said, "Okay, you can pick two good ones for me!" ”

The little girl looked at the winter bamboo shoots on the ground, there were not many of them, and if all the ladies in front of her were brought home, then she and her younger siblings would be able to go home early.

Thinking like this, she also put it into action, and said with a flattering face: "Madam, in fact, there are many ways to make winter bamboo shoots, and you can't get tired of eating them if you change them every day." ”

"For example, stir-fried bacon with winter bamboo shoots, which has a very winter flavor, fried winter bamboo shoots with shiitake mushrooms, with excellent umami, and winter bamboo shoots hot pot, this hot pot tastes super good. So, Madame can bring some more back and eat them in different ways, if you can't make the winter bamboo shoot hot pot, I can hand it over to you. ”

"Who taught you those practices you just mentioned?" When Ru Yi heard the word hot pot, she was curious, it was the first time she had heard it from a little girl for so long since she had been in ancient times.

The little girl said, "Of course I told my mother about these dishes. "Actually, these dishes were not taught by her mother, and she knew how to do them in the first place.
