He is also a rural person, and he still does good farm work, in fact, his speed is not slower than Jin Xiaoye, and because he cuts less rice than Jin Xiaoye, he can also stand and rest from time to time, saying that he has back pain and so on.

Of course, seeing that Jin Xiaoye's speed of progress exceeded him, then he would work hard to cut and resolutely not be left behind.

He's going to eat eggs!

The two were busy working when they heard someone shouting, saying that Li Qingzhi had eaten a stinky pig's nest.

Li Laogen didn't think about it and said: "I also think his brain has been knocked out." He talked to Li Qingzhi the day before yesterday, and Li Qingzhi kept smiling at him with his father, laughing so much that he felt furious in his heart.

He's a cheap son, he didn't do it before!

Jin Xiaoye's reaction was different, she rushed to Li Qingzhi and snatched the grass from Li Qingzhi's hand: "Are you stupid?" How to eat everything! ”

This stinky pig's nest can't be eaten!

Chapter 11: Cooking

There are very few types of wild vegetables that people in Miaoqian Village usually eat, and they are common ones such as shepherd's cabbage and Ma Lantou.

Houttuynia cordata has a smell, and they don't eat it at all, and they don't even cut it back to the sheep to eat, because even the sheep don't like to eat it.

Now Li Qingzhi actually picks its leaves and eats them raw......

He's got a good brain, right?

"Are you hungry? Didn't you just eat? Jin Xiaoye was a little anxious: "I don't know if this thing is poisonous ......."

Li Qingzhi now has a very big appetite, and Jin Xiaoye has already discovered this.

The specific performance is that no matter how much she gives Li Qingzhi to eat, Li Qingzhi can eat it all.

But she didn't give Li Qingzhi more food because of this, firstly, because the family did not have enough food, and secondly, what ...... She thinks that Li Qingzhi will be like this because she was too hungry a few years ago, so now when she sees food, she wants to stuff it into her mouth.

Eating too much food and not digesting it will eat the body badly! How dare Jin Xiaoye let him eat indiscriminately.

Unexpectedly, Li Qingzhi was not restrained at all, and even ate this smelly grass......

"This grass is not poisonous, it is edible. The people in my hometown call it Houttuynia cordata, and they love to eat it," Li Qingzhi coughed lightly and tried to explain, "Its leaves can be eaten, and the roots below are also delicious when used for cold salad." ”

"Mother, dad is a liar, this grass is very unpalatable." Li Ermao said immediately.

For those who are not used to it, the taste of Houttuynia cordata is really horrible...... Li Qingzhi could only look at Jin Xiaoye with an innocent face, and described to Jin Xiaoye what the root of Houttuynia cordata was, and said that this is a kind of medicinal herb, and eating it is good for the body.

Jin Xiaoye dug with a sickle, and sure enough, he dug out some of the same roots as Li Qingzhi said.

However, she didn't believe that the people in Li Qingzhi's hometown loved to eat this thing, first, it smelled bad, and secondly, it was ...... This stinky pig nest was also there behind their house, but she didn't see Li Qingzhi digging it up and eating it.

Jin Xiaoye felt that Li Qingzhi should have eaten this thing when he was caught digging stones in the past few years.

As for why Li Qingzhi thinks it is delicious...... What does Li Qing eat these days and don't you think it's delicious? The residue in the medicine she gave Li Qingzhi to boil, Li Qingzhi chewed and chewed it, like a starving ghost reincarnated.

I don't know how many of them are

How many sins he suffered.

Jin Xiaoye's temper is not very good, if Li Damao and Li Ermao eat indiscriminately, she will definitely be taught a lesson, but Li Qingzhi is a scholar in the end, and he knows more than her, so he shouldn't eat indiscriminately?

Jin Xiaoye asked, "Can this really be eaten?" ”

"I can eat it, it's written in medical books, and I've eaten it before...... Xiaoye, can I dig it back? ”

"Dig it." Jin Xiaoye sighed, and said to the two of them: "Da Mao Ermao, you can help dig it." ”

After Jin Xiaoye finished speaking, he took the sickle and continued to cut the rice.

Seeing this, the surrounding people who watched the excitement also began to work.

Only Li Laogen came to Jin Xiaoye's side: "Xiaoye, your man won't be stupid, right?" I even eat weeds......"

"You're stupid." Jin Xiaoye himself said that Li Qingzhi was okay, but others were not allowed to say Li Qingzhi: "Li Laogen, what are you talking about your man...... That's your son! ”

"That...... Xiao Ye, for me, you are my own daughter! Li Laogen said.

Li Laogen is really a bastard, and he really can't control his own hands, and he always wants to gamble for money.

But he is not a fool, and he knows that although Jin Xiaoye has a bad attitude towards him, he is a good person.

He used to live with his younger brother and nephew, and his brother and daughter-in-law gave him a little rice soup when they shared the meal, and he couldn't eat enough every day.

In the past few years, I have followed Jin Xiaoye, although he has not eaten too well, but I don't know how much better than before.

He had already figured it out, he had to rely on Jin Xiaoye when he was old.

As for Li Qingzhi's son...... I wasn't there before, but now I'm back, and it's useless to look at it.

"Then go to work!" Jin Xiaoye Road.

"I'll go!" Li Laogen was busy with work.

Li Damao and Li Ermao, but he helped Li Qingzhi dig out all the roots and leaves from Houttuynia cordata, and at the same time watched Li Qingzhi eating the stinky pig's nest with a tangled face.

They only found out today that this is called the stinky pig's nest, how could their father love to eat this thing?

Li Ermao, who couldn't help but taste the root of Houttuynia cordata again, felt that his father's brain might have really been knocked out.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, the villagers began to move the cut rice to their homes.

There was no one in their village to raise cattle, so there was no ox cart, so the rice had to be carried home from time to time...... Fortunately, their land is generally not far from home.

When Jin Xiaoye and Li Laogen carried rice home, Li Damao and Li Ermao walked around the field where the rice had just been cut to see if there were any fallen rice ears.

After inspecting their fields, they took Li Qingzhi and walked back.

When he walked to the river, Li Qingzhi saw that there were many men soaked in the river, and they would all go down to the river to wash after they had just finished their work.

A group of men gathered together to take a bath, the girl who was not married and the little daughter-in-law who had just married did not dare to look at it, and walked forward quickly with their heads down, but the older women did not have to avoid suspicion, some middle-aged and elderly women were enjoying the cool next to them, and at the same time they also said to the men in the river, saying that who is strong and who is too thin.

All of this is alive and well.

Li Qing saw it and was in a very good mood.

When the people in the village saw Li Qingzhi's happy look, they couldn't understand it.

It's all so thin, he can't even walk the road, and he is still smiling so happily!

"I heard that Li Qingzhi is still eating a stinky pig's nest alive today."

"I used to think that he was a little cold and a little cold from us...... Why is he so eager now? ”

"Jin Xiaoye is really miserable, he finally waited for him back, not only is his body bad, but people don't look normal."

……

As he spoke, the people in the village sympathized with Jin Xiaoye even more.

The women in the village generally do not do such heavy work as rice harvesting, and they are mainly responsible for cooking and feeding the livestock at home with the children, even if they go to the field with them, that is, to help bundle a bundle of rice.

But what about Jin Xiaoye? She's got to get off the ground!

It's not easy!

When Li Qingzhi returned home, he saw that their house was full of freshly cut rice, and Jin Xiaoye hadn't come back yet, so he should have gone to take a bath.

Most of the people in the village do not take a bath in winter, so they boil some hot water to wipe it or wash their buttocks and feet, and in summer they go to the river to wash.

However, the young women were all gathered in a pond to wash, and the men of the village would not go there in the evening, and if they did, they would be beaten by the other men of the village.

After all, it was their daughters, sisters and even daughters-in-law who bathed there.

As for the older women, they generally do not go to the pond to wash, often near the river close to home, when washing clothes or washing children, they also take a bath, anyway, people here take a bath, most of them wear pants or even clothes to go down to the river, and scrub in the river.

Since Jin Xiaoye is not there...... Li Qingzhi silently ate the Houttuynia cordata he had dug up.

So, as soon as Jin Xiaoye came back, Li Damao and Li Ermao rushed up: "Mother, Dad ate all those stinky pig nests!" ”

Jin Xiaoye: "......"

Li Qingzhi could only say: "This can really be eaten...... he has to be careful when he finds additional food for himself in the future, and avoids people......

Li Qingzhi had already eaten it, and he didn't see anything wrong with it...... Jin Xiaoye didn't pursue it in the end.

Jin Xiaoye fell asleep quickly, and the next day, just after dawn, she got up from the ground again, ready to go out and continue to harvest rice.

Seeing this, Li Qingzhi said: "Xiao Ye, you give me the food you want to make in the morning, and I will cook today." ”

He can actually do it directly, but looking at Jin Xiaoye's usual cooking, he knows that she has plans for the food at home, and he definitely can't just take the food to make it.

The men in the village generally don't cook, but Jin Xiaoye thought that he was afraid that he would have to go out to work in the future, so Li Qingzhi would definitely have to cook at home...... And she remembered that when she and Li Qingzhi didn't get married, Li Qingzhi cooked by herself, and she should be able to do it: "Okay, I'll give you the food!" ”

Jin Xiaoye gave Li Qingzhi a lot of food, as well as six eggs: "Today we will eat dry rice, so that we can have the strength to work, and these six eggs you can steam, when the time comes, you two, I will have two fathers." ”

She and Li Laogen don't eat eggs on weekdays, but they have to eat some when the farm is busy.

Jin Xiaoye was still thinking about waiting to cut a piece of meat and steam it to eat.

On such days, there are usually people who swing boats to sell meat and tofu, and they can spend money to buy it, and they can also exchange it for food.

"Okay." Li Qing insisted on going down.

When Jin Xiaoye left, he went into the kitchen and observed the situation in the kitchen.

The iron pot is not cheap in this era, and they only have one pot at home, which is also the reason why Jin Xiaoye basically doesn't cook, and only cooks steamed vegetables.

Of course, the rest of the village is like this, the poorest families don't even have a pot at home, and they cook in clay pots.

This pot was bought by the original owner, but some other things in the kitchen should have been purchased by Jin Xiaoye.

The original owner had no money at that time, and there were very few things to buy for the family, and until now, their family has not had a table that can be used for eating.

There is no way, the father of the original owner is a county official, but their family actually has no money.

That is, the original owner realized that something was wrong and went to persuade his mother to leave, and when his mother stuffed him with a few gold jewelry, he could buy land in Miaoqian Village, and these jewelry were still his mother's dowry.

Thinking of the original owner's relatives, Li Qingzhi sighed secretly.

The original owner's father was wronged, and the quarry that killed the original owner was also full of sins.

In the future, if he had the opportunity, he would have to avenge the original owner and his relatives.

Cooking in the countryside is troublesome, so Li Qingzhi took water from the water tank to soak the brown rice at home, and went to the field to pick some cowpeas and eggplants.

There is no oil at their house, so he doesn't steam and stir-fry, and after washing it, he puts it in a bowl, planning to add a little salt to steam it.
