Chapter 73 Chinese cabbage and small green vegetables
When Mr. Gu asked his son, Mr. Song was furious. He turned around and cursed: "Your precious son asked for money again today and said he wanted to buy books. Is he studying or earning money?"
The family needs to buy food, clothes, pots and pans, and the wife on the kang also needs to buy medicine and see a doctor.
The five taels Mr. Xue gave Song Shuirong when he took him away was used up in the blink of an eye.
Coupled with the fact that people from Gujiacun came and went several times to buy vegetables and meat, Song Laoer had to sell three acres of land.
The money has not yet been warmed up, but it has begun to become less and less. Just for Xiaobao's education, he paid two taels of silver, and now he wants it again.
Song Laoer felt like his previous decades of life were in vain.
If this consumption continues, my more than ten acres of land will not be able to sustain it.
It's going to snow soon, the kang at home can't be heated, and we have to spend money to buy firewood.
Alas! When did my life become so sad?
On the other side, when little Gu heard the curse of "baby son", she immediately opened her mouth and cried loudly: "My baby son! Ah! Ah! You have to go to the King of Hell underground to explain clearly that you were kicked to death by Song Defu, not
Mother hurt you..."
When Song Laoer heard little Gu pulling the child who died in infancy, he felt the cool breeze whistling around him and chilled his back. He cursed a vicious bitch in his mind and walked back to the main room in dejection.
Song Dekui was not having a good time either.
Ever since he returned to Xiaoshi Village, not to mention Song Laoer who stared at him every day and asked about the whereabouts of Daping and the others, even the villagers would say intentionally or unintentionally when they met: "It's cold, and I don't know that those three children are short of food and clothing."
No? Don’t freeze to death!"
Song Dekui was also a veteran of the market, so he couldn't tell what these gossips were trying to do. Even though he was fooled by a "I don't know", he still felt tired and panicked, for fear of accidentally spilling the beans.
Fortunately, my family didn't ask.
Mrs. Li Zheng processed acorns according to the method taught by Song Dekui, and she was really surprised to make acorn tofu without bitterness.
So, she stopped staying at home and happily picked acorns on the mountain with her daughter-in-law and grandson every day.
He also sent acorn tofu to the elder's house in the town so that he could have a taste of it.
Song Lizheng smoked tobacco leaves for half the night, and the next day he asked Song Dekui to go back to the town to guard his business, and not to return to the village if nothing happened.
He also asked Madam Li Zheng to quickly find a wife for Song Dekui and tie him up as soon as possible.
As for the rest, he knows nothing and doesn't care.
Anyway, I have already reported it to the officials. If anything happens, the officials will naturally take care of it.
………………………………
Broken Gold Town.
The sky has been gloomy for two days, and thick clouds seem to be pressing overhead.
Song Zhenping walked out of the town center with her neck hunched and holding two wooden basins.
Although the cold wind forced him to run quickly and even hurt his injured leg, it was still difficult to wipe away the joy on his face.
Boss Mu has three pots of acorn tofu every day, although it is troublesome to peel the acorn shells, boil and soak them.
But with twenty-seven cents a day, there is only one tael of silver a month.
As long as I don't be lazy every day, besides eating and drinking, I can save ten taels a year. After two or three years, I can find a good doctor to treat my brother.
Baolin Juli and Song Liyun were squatting under the greenhouse, their eyes gleaming and salivating as they looked at the green cabbage that had grown two big leaves.
She is also very naughty now. She is not satisfied with eating cabbage and radish, and she still wants to eat green leafy vegetables.
Hey! People can't help but get used to it. It's only been two months since I arrived in the Wu Dynasty. How can I be so squeamish?
I remember that in the last days, when Chaos fled, he was hungry, and then he relied on compressed food and energy bars every day to get through the day.
If I could exchange it for rice or something, it would be a festive delicacy, and later I would often eat convenience food.
Song Liyun secretly resented herself: Now that she can eat natural food every day, she has become picky.
Hey! Instead of talking about it, why don’t you think about what to eat for lunch?
Microgreens paired with chewy noodles are a perfect match.
Probably the most delicious meal Song Liyun had after coming to this world was the bowl of noodle soup eaten by Li Zheng's family.
Whenever she thinks of the green leaves and yellow egg blossoms, she feels like a greedy cat is scratching her throat.
Although these vegetable seedlings are a bit small, if you pick the larger ones, you can still take a bite.
Please, just sacrifice your life to help me!
Song Liyun murmured while extending his claws to the weak and pitiful vegetable seedlings, and comforted himself: Song Zhenping said that if the vegetable seedlings grow too densely, the roots will rot and the leaves will turn yellow. The seedlings are also thin and tall. It must be
Thinning seedlings.
Yes, I am just thinning out the seedlings and helping them thrive.
Song Liyun picked among the weak vegetables and the tall ones among the short ones.
After selecting the large seedlings in the two greenhouses, a small pot was filled.
Then carefully pinch a few green onion sprouts and a few tender celery leaves, and a hearty side dish is ready.
Humming a little tune, Le Dian Dian washed the vegetable leaves with water, then mixed them with the noodles and stretched them out into long and thin noodles.
Before Song Liyun's noodles were cooked, Song Zhenping came back.
Looking at the vegetable leaves that had been washed on the stove, Song Zhenping was immediately dumbfounded: These vegetable seedlings had just grown up in the winter, and he had not even had time to thin them out, so why did he start eating them?
wrong!
Song Zhenping dropped the wooden basin in his hand and rushed over to pick up a small vegetable and look at it carefully.
His face suddenly became serious, he looked at a few leaves, turned around and ran to the backyard.
Song Liyun didn't pay attention to his actions at all. He just put the noodles into the boiling water and shouted outside the door: "It's time to eat. You two remember to wash your hands before you come here. If you bring ashes into the house, I will make you stand."
The noodles were boiling and rolling in the pot, and soon they became translucent. Song Liyun picked them up with a slotted spoon and put them into a bowl.
Eating vegetables in winter requires a sense of ritual.
In addition to vegetables, Song Liyun also prepared other things.
The white noodles are poured with red spicy sauce, sprinkled with finely chopped green onions and celery leaves, chopped sauerkraut, and then spread with a golden omelette and pickled cucumber strips next to it.
Finally, add the green vegetable sprouts that are so tender you can squeeze out the water.
The colors in the bowl are rich and bright, and the layers are clear. Just one look at it will increase your appetite.
Xiao An ran out from the side room, patted the rubber shards off his hands, and twitched his nose: "Smells, smells good!"
He swallowed hard, turned around and ran to wash his hands.
The second sister said that if you don't wash your hands or change clothes, you are not allowed to eat.
Hei Jin ran very fast in his floral cotton-padded jacket, clinging to the table and trying to climb up.
"Heijin, your job is not here."
Song Liyun roared angrily before stopping Heijin's movement.
Hei Jin raised his thick lips and made a grimace at Song Liyun.
Before Song Liyun could throw a chopstick at him, it had already nimbly dodged and squeaked to find Xiao An for comfort.
After a while, Song Zhenping came back with a confused look on his face: all the good vegetable seedlings in the shed were gone.
As soon as he saw Song Liyun, he said: "Xiaoyun, where are the vegetable seedlings in the field? Have you pulled out all the big seedlings?"
