Since Su Qingluan showed her hand that time and let her family discover that she "has a talent for cooking", the Yang family is gradually willing to let her go to the stove to help.

Although the knife work could not be fully revealed at once, Su Qingluan still thought of many other ways that were not too suspicious to improve the originally not very rich diet.

For example, sun-dried mushrooms and other spices are ground into powder and sprinkled with salt as a seasoning to enhance the flavor of dishes.

For example, the leftover wild fruits picked on the roadside in the mountains are washed and put in aged vinegar and soy sauce, so that the vinegar and soy sauce have a fruity aroma and subtle sweetness and sourness, making the taste of soy sauce and aged vinegar softer and richer;

For example, it is suggested that when mixing vegetables, Yang should abandon the original mixing method of turning in a circle in one direction, and instead pick and grasp the mixing from the bottom to the top, so that the mixed vegetables are more crispy and delicious......

These small kitchen skills are all familiar to Su Qingluan for a long time, and they are not very profound. It's just that because of the era in which we live now, these are not common—at least for Yang, it is the first time I have heard of them.

Of course, when Su Qingluan proposed these techniques, he did not go straight into the "chef" shelf, but rather had the posture of a 10,000-year-old Grim Reaper elementary school student, pretending to be stupid and tender, turning around and cornering, and even deliberately providing a few ideas for overturning in disguise, so he didn't surprise Yang too much, and only sighed, "There are many strange ideas for children." ”

Gradually, the Su family discovered that no matter how ordinary the ingredients were, in Su Qingluan's hands, they could turn decay into magic and become delicious. So whatever you eat, ask her how it tastes good.

As Su Qingluan's physical strength gradually recovered, she began to take her younger siblings to dig wild vegetables in the back mountains at home when her father and mother were farming, feed the chickens and ducks, and do some simple sprinkling.

On this day, she was cleaning up the chicken shed, and vaguely heard Su Xueyan's cry, so she hurriedly ran to the front yard and found that the little girl's tender lips were covered with blood.

"How did it hurt?" Su Qingluan was distressed, and hurriedly blew lightly on the broken lips of the little girl: "Fly in pain!" ”

asked Su Xuanhe, who was following him, "Aren't you playing together?" She fell? ”

Su Xuanhe stood next to the little girl, rolled her eyes, and was a little helpless to hate iron and steel: "It's not that she is greedy and has eaten too many 'sour hooks'." My mother said that if you eat too much, you will break your mouth. ”

As he spoke, he flipped his wrist, and a small handful of orange wild berries were placed in Su Qingluan's hand.

Su Qingluan picked up a grain, she had never seen this kind of wild fruit. When you bite into it carefully, it is sweet and sour, and it tastes very similar to the flavor of passion fruit and pineapple that you have eaten in modern times.

But this fruit is round and plump, and there are no spikes or prickly fuzz like peaches, how can it hook the mouth?

When Su Xuanhe heard Sister ask this, he scratched his head: "I don't know either." It's just that it's okay to eat less of this fruit, but if you eat more, it will hurt in your mouth, and if you eat more, it will bleed. ”

Hurt? Bleed?

Su Qingluan's eyes narrowed: Could it be...... Is that what she thinks?

"How much is this fruit?" Su Qingluan looked down at the two little beans.

"All summer and autumn, on the hill behind. That's what I picked yesterday. Su Xuanhe said.

Su Qingluan rolled his eyes and looked at the sky, it was only noon, and it was still some time before the Yang family came back to prepare for feeding.

She bent down to wipe away the tears of the third sister who was still shedding golden beans, and held one person with one hand and said with a smile: "Sister will take you to find something delicious and add dinner at night!" ”

When the little girl heard that there was something delicious, she immediately forgot to cry and asked repeatedly, "Where are we going?" "What are you eating?" Something like that.

It was the first time that Su Xuanhe was held by Su Qingluan like this, and he felt that the palm of his sister's hand was different from the rough touch of his father's mother, it looked so soft, but it was also very warm.

The little boy muttered awkwardly, "I'm already a man, I can go by myself!" He withdrew his hand, but his face turned red.

"Heh, it's a big ghost." Su Qingluan tugged at Su Xuanhe's bun tied to the top of his head, turned around and locked the chaimen of the courtyard, and took his younger brothers and sisters to the river.

Su Qingluan walked slowly along the river, and finally found a river channel where although the water flow was relatively turbulent, but the river channel was relatively narrow, and broke a branch to probe under the riverbed - well, there is sand and silt, then it will be easy to do.

"Snow geese, cranes!" Su Qingluan found a branch of moderate thickness and held it in his hand, "Let's play a game~ There will be a prize if you win~"

As soon as Su Xueyan heard about playing games, she immediately smiled and clapped her hands: "Play games!" Play the game! ”

Although Su Xuanhe didn't say anything, his eyes lit up, and he also looked over.

"See this branch in my hand?" She raised the sticks in her hand like small sticks, "In the time I have allotted, you must bring back as many of these branches as you can—only thicker, not thinner—if you can exceed thirty, you will win." ”

As he spoke, Su Qingluan drew a circle in the open space by the river, roughly divided it into eight equal parts, and inserted a thin branch vertically into the center of the circle: "Look, the shadow is here now. She pointed to the scale where the shadow was, and said, "When the shadow moves here, the game will end - so don't run too far." ”

As she spoke, she demarcated the range of activities for the two small buns, both of which were areas within her reach.

"Let's get started!"

With Su Qingluan's order, Su Xuanhe took his sister and ran away with Huan'er.

"Slow down! Don't fall! Su Qingluan pulled his neck and shouted, and began to weave grass ropes from the long weeds near the riverbank.

She first broke the thin blade of grass along the leaf vein from the middle, gently rubbed it until it was soft, and then tied it into a thin straw rope, like a braided twist braid, and then braided the three "braids" into a strand, and pulled it with all her strength, without tearing it off.

"Well, this grass has good toughness and can be used." She nodded in satisfaction.

When Su Qingluan was sitting by the river weaving straw ropes, the two little ones took back the branches one after another.

Su Qingluan picked and chosen: "This one is not good, it is too thin, these two are too short...... Look for these ones - cutting corners doesn't count as winning~"

Children are always serious and energetic, seeing Su Qingluan "picking and choosing" like this, Su Xueyan and Su Xuanhe were not angry, but took a "sample" and ran away.

Su Qingluan, on the other hand, used braided straw ropes to fix the upper, middle and bottom ends of the branches, and tied them one by one into a row of "fences". By the time the younger siblings came back out of breath for the last time, the "fence" in Su Qingluan's hand was already more than three meters.

Su Qingluan visually measured that it was enough, so he dragged the "fence" into the river, and formed a "human" shape against the current, and the opening was in the direction of the water flow.

Since the river is full of silt and gravel, Su Qingluan can easily press the branches into the mud to prevent the "fence" from being washed away by the current.

However, to be on the safe side, she brought in a few larger rocks to block behind the fence.

"Sister, what are you doing here?"

Su Xueyan asked curiously.

"I guess it's catching fish!" Su Xuanhe said affirmatively. Then he frowned, "This fish is fishy and has a lot of bones, what is there to eat when you catch it?" ”

Su Qingluan smiled mysteriously: "That's because I don't know the essentials." And now, she knew a brilliant way to turn this earthy fish into a supreme delicacy.
