Chapter 2 Wild vegetables can also be eaten in different ways

The Gu family has a relatively large population. In the big house, Mrs. Yin gave birth to two daughters. The eldest is twelve years old this year and the younger is ten.

The second wife, Mrs. Yin, gave birth to two twins.

There are eleven people, but there are only ten cakes on the table.

Black flour and sweet potato flour pancakes, plus a big pot of millet soup, so thin that you can see the silhouette of a person.

In the middle was a large plate of pickled vegetable dumplings and a plate of cold wild vegetables.

One bowl of soup for each person, half a pancake for the woman, and one pancake for the man.

The only plate of scrambled eggs was fishy, ​​and everyone was staring at it while swallowing, but no one dared to move their chopsticks.

"Okay, let's eat."

Mrs. Zhou spoke and divided the eggs. There were no women. The strong laborer Mr. Gu and his two sons had one chopstick each, and the rest was divided among several children.

Because she was sick, Su Xiaomu also got a small pair of chopsticks.

Mr. Yin and Mr. Li unconsciously showed a little envy in their eyes, but in the end they said nothing.

The pickles were a dark lump. Su Xiaomu picked up a small piece, and his mouth felt a little bitter. He didn't care that the millet soup was spicy, so he took a big gulp to dilute the bitter taste in his mouth.

But the rest of the Gu family ate very well, and seemed to have become accustomed to it.

Su Xiaomu sighed inwardly, turned his chopsticks, added wild vegetables and put them in his mouth.

It's bracken, but it tastes raw and chewy, and it's not even blanched. It seems like it's been washed, sprinkled with some salt particles, and mixed.

No one can make wild vegetables so delicious.

But the rest of Gu's family looked like they were used to it, and ate it with big mouthfuls to make it more delicious.

Su Xiaomu sighed deeply in her heart again. No wonder the original owner ran away. With the level of food, she wanted to run away too!

I was a food blogger in my previous life, and my appetite has been developed for a long time. It’s okay to eat glutinous vegetables, but it also has to be delicious, right?

Su Xiaomu ate the pancake with half a bowl of porridge, and after finishing the meal, she went to pick up the bowl and chopsticks.

Now that I'm living under someone else's roof, I naturally have to be more diligent.

Mrs. Yin stopped her a few times, and then Ms. Li called her away.

"We are almost busy with the work in the fields. You don't need to go this afternoon. I have saved more than thirty eggs. You can go and ask anyone who wants some. When you come back, go up the mountain to cut some pigweed and dig some wild vegetables.

return."

Su Xiaomu, who had finished washing the dishes, straightened up when he heard these words, blinked and looked at each other.

"Mom, I'm not feeling that bad now. I'll go up the mountain with my sister-in-law to dig some wild vegetables later!"

In this season, there must be a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains. She wanted to take a look. After eating such a meal once, she would not want to eat it a second time...

"Can……"

Mrs. Li hesitated a little, maybe worried that she would run away again.

Su Xiaomu came closer, her almond-shaped eyes were crooked, and she looked particularly lovable.

"Mom, just let me go. I know you are worried about me. It's okay. I want to dig out more before my husband comes back. When he comes back, I can eat well and have the strength to study hard."

Seeing the expectant look on Su Xiaomu's face, Mrs. Li couldn't say no again as she said no.

"Okay, let's wait until your sister-in-law comes back."

Mrs. Yin came back after exchanging the eggs and gave the money to Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li put the money in the cabinet very preciously.

Mrs. Yin carried the basket on her back and pulled Su Xiaomu away.

Pingfeng Village is backed by a mountain and is located in a mountain valley with lush grass and plants. However, due to busy farming, there are not many people on the mountain at this time.

Mrs. Yin took Su Xiaomu to an open area halfway up the mountain, bent over and started cutting pig grass.

Su Xiaomu glanced around and his eyes lit up.

Dandelions, shepherd's purse, fungus over there, and broom greens over there!

There are many delicious things, but the Gu family just chose the least delicious ones at this time of the year.

Su Xiaomu lifted up her skirt and started digging.

Mrs. Yin was cutting pig grass next to her. She looked back at Su Xiaomu from time to time and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that she showed no signs of escaping.

After the basket was full of pigweed, Yin was going to dig some wild vegetables with Su Xiaomu and then go back.

When I walked over and saw the contents of Su Xiaomu's basket, I was slightly startled.

"What are you digging for? Is this... can you eat it?"

Is this dark stuff edible? Is Xiaomu not planning to run away and poison the whole family?

"Sister-in-law, this is fungus."

Yin's expression was so shocked that Su Xiaomu could understand the meaning at a glance.

Smiling and with crooked eyebrows, he patiently explained, "Go back and wash this, dry it and it can be eaten in the winter."

"real?"

Seeing how confident she was in what she said, Mrs. Yin still felt a little nervous.

"Of course it's true. Can I still lie to my sister-in-law? This is shepherd's purse, which is the best for making dumplings. This plantain can be dipped in sauce..."

Su Xiaomu recounted all her family treasures, and after finishing speaking, she saw Mrs. Yin still had an expression of disbelief, her mouth pursed, feeling a little lonely.

"Sister-in-law, my family was actually very rich before, but then my father lost everything, and our family became like this...

But don’t worry, we used to have a wall of books at home and a book on rare and exotic herbs. These dishes are all introduced above. They are delicious and not poisonous, so you can rest assured.”

Seeing her timid look, Ms. Yin didn't look like she was lying and didn't say anything.

What this book says shouldn’t be wrong, right?

Isn’t it because the third brother reads so much that my mother values ​​him so much?

I just didn't expect that Xiaomu was also literate.

Su Xiaomu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this Yin family was not asking for details, otherwise he would not know how to make it up. Now he has vaccinated them, and if he researches a way to make money in the future, he will be able to evade it.

The sun was setting over the west mountain, and before I knew it, the entire small basket was filled.

When passing by a thorn bush, Su Xiaomu's sharp eyes saw the red fruit hidden inside.

Su Xiaomu's eyes suddenly lit up. Is it chili pepper?

There are actually chili peppers here?

There are so many delicacies that can be made from this chili pepper!

Boiled fish, boiled meat slices, fried pork with chili...

Su Xiaomu walked over quickly, took a handful and hid it on his body. He remembered the location and quickly followed Yin's footsteps.

When they got home, Mrs. Li in the yard spoke angrily.

"How late can you dig wild vegetables? Are you still waiting for me to come back and serve you cooking?"

When Mrs. Yin heard this, her face turned pale, "Mother..."

When Su Xiaomu saw this, he rolled his eyes, moved forward, and took Li's arm.

"Mom, it's all my fault. I walked too slowly. It's not my sister-in-law's fault. Please don't be angry, okay? I'm going to cook with my sister-in-law now. Don't be angry, okay?"

The soft and petite female doll hugged her arms, making Li swallow back her original words of reprimand.

None of the children in the family were very close to her, and the daughters-in-law were all acting stiff and stiff. This was the first time someone held her arm and acted coquettishly.

Looking into Su Xiaomu's crescent-shaped eyes, Li turned away and coughed lightly.

"Okay, hurry up and cook. I'll be back later. Don't delay!"

After saying that, he went back to the house.

Mrs. Yin was stunned for a moment. She was a very powerful mother-in-law. She usually had to scold them for half an hour, but now she let them off so easily?

Su Xiaomu walked to the kitchen with the basket on her back and greeted Mrs. Yin.

"Sister-in-law, come quickly!"

Her mother-in-law was a paper tiger with a hard mouth and a soft heart. She could see it from the beginning.

However, she can't wait to make food now.
