Bai Shanshan is studying, but she doesn't participate in earning work points or doing chores. She doesn't know how happy she is, and she doesn't know how she will repay her second and third brothers in the future.
As for the eldest brother Bai, he is extremely disappointed with her and no longer wants to have anything to do with her.
The next morning, Bai Dashan delivered the wild fruits to Xia Yunlai. After returning home, he and Li Chengcheng had breakfast and then set off to the fields. Bai Dashan carried the load, while Li Chengcheng carried a basket and another.
Small basket.
Bai Dashan smiled and asked, "Daughter-in-law, can you catch so many loaches with so many things?"
"If you can't catch it, I'll help you pack straw roots!" Li Chengcheng smiled, forget it if you can't catch it, you can wait until the weather is hot in the summer to catch it. In the summer evening, loaches and eels come out and swim in the mud.
It's motionless, and it's accurate when you grab it.
After calling Bai Lao Er, the three of them went to the fields in the village together. Bai Lao Er found a field without water. After getting down from the edge, he bent down and started to pull out straw roots. Bai Lao Da and Bai Lao Er both pulled out the straw directly.
I took off my shoes and socks and went into the fields barefoot.
The temperature is already very low now. It should be about ten degrees in the morning. At this temperature, Li Chengcheng does not dare to go barefoot in the field. At this time, there are no high boots that can be used in the water in later generations. She uses waterproof leather to cover herself
It is covered from the soles to the knees, so that your shoes and socks will not be soiled, and you will not have to step on the mud with bare feet.
Li Chengcheng walked to Bai Dashan, bent down, grabbed a straw root with both hands, and pulled it up. There was still a large piece of mud on the straw root. She shook off the mud and threw it to the shore.
After pulling out several plants, he did not encounter loaches, but he encountered field snails. Li Chengcheng really did not expect that the field snails would hide under the straw roots, so he was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly picked up the field snails and put them into the basket.
"Sister-in-law." A voice came from Bai Laoer's side after a while.
Li Chengcheng looked up and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Bai Laoer was very happy, "It's a big loach, as big as a thumb."
"Okay, okay." Li Chengcheng quickly took the backpack and put it in. The backpack should be higher so that the loach will not jump out. If you use a small basket to hold the loach, it is really possible that the loach will jump out and be lost. That is
Picked it up for free.
After that, Li Chengcheng was responsible for picking up snails and loaches. Occasionally she would encounter eels, and she took them all as ordered.
When there are no snails or loaches, she will bend down and pull out straw roots. Home is the home she shares with Bai Dashan, so she can’t do nothing by herself, right?
Bai Dashan is too hard like this.
When Li Chengcheng threw the straw roots to the shore again, all eyes were suddenly attracted by the large green leaves growing happily on the shore. She hurried over, lowered her head to study the leaves, and found that the leaves were very similar.
An edible thing, this kind of thing is delicious in the eyes of those who love it, and those who don't love it will vomit directly if they smell it.
That's right, I'm talking about Houttuynia cordata.
Although Li Chengcheng is a person who values taste, she is actually not picky about food. She can eat snail noodles, durian, coriander, stinky tofu, hairy tofu, preserved eggs, Houttuynia cordata... These are not the things that everyone likes to eat.
accepted.
Both the leaves and roots of Houttuynia cordata are edible. If he makes the roots of Houttuynia cordata and sells them in the town or the county, he should be able to make a lot of money. People who like him will love him very much.
You can't eat without him every meal.
Thinking of this, Li Chengcheng was very happy. He hurriedly dug out the soil and dug out a piece of Houttuynia cordata. She did not admit it wrong. This thing was Houttuynia cordata. So Li Chengcheng ignored the loaches and snails and squatted directly on the edge of the field.
Start digging Houttuynia cordata.
When Bai LaoDa and Bai LaoEr pulled up straw roots and encountered snails and loaches, they put them into their backpacks and baskets without calling out to Li Chengcheng. Anyway, Bai Dashan would not say much about anything Li Chengcheng did, but Bai LaoEr felt that Li Chengcheng was too playful.
After working for a while, I went to dig weeds.
But Bai Laoer won't talk too much, as long as he is good to his eldest brother and lives an honest life with his eldest brother.
Bai Lao Da and Bai Lao Er were busy for several hours. There were already piles of straw roots on the edge of the field. After that, Bai Lao Er was left here alone to continue pulling out the straw roots. Bai Lao Er picked the straw roots home and spread them in the yard to dry in the sun.
By the end of the day, you can put it in the thatched house.
Bai Dashan picked up straw roots several times and prepared lunch at home before coming over. While picking up a load, he also asked Li Chengcheng and Bai Laoer to go back to eat together. Bai Shanshan had lunch at school at noon, so she didn't need to worry about that.
Bai Laoer poured the snails and loaches in the basket together, then gave the basket to Li Chengcheng, who put the Houttuynia cordata in it, and then the three of them went back together.
Looking at the Houttuynia cordata growing so densely and showing no signs of being disturbed, you can guess that the people in Anju Village don't know that anyone eats this thing, so she doesn't have to worry at all that someone will compete with her to steal this business.
Li Chengcheng had a basket filled with Houttuynia cordata hanging on her arm. She was jumping up and down as she walked. It was obvious that she was in a very good mood.
Bai Dashan asked curiously, "Daughter-in-law, what makes you so happy?"
"I won't tell you." Li Chengcheng raised his nostrils proudly. He would tell him in a few days and keep it secret for now.
When we got home, everyone simply cleaned and tidied up, and then went to the kitchen to eat. We used to eat on the big dining table in the main room, but now the temperature is slowly getting lower. It is easy to cool down when we bring the food to the main room.
, so Bai Dashan hired a carpenter to build a smaller dining table, and now this dining table is placed in the kitchen.
Today is quite busy, so Bai Dashan doesn't have to stir-fry vegetables. Things like egg custard and pork head meat are all steamed directly on the rice pot when cooking. I stir-fry two vegetables before eating.
Nowadays, there are many vegetables grown in the yard, but the varieties are not so complete. In this era, there are no greenhouse vegetables, and what vegetables are grown depends on the season.
Now it is radish, cabbage, coriander, spinach, scallions, yellow cabbage, winter vegetables, and the kind of purple cabbage that eats vegetable greens.
Bai Dashan stir-fried two vegetables today, one of which was stir-fried radish strips. I poured some steamed pork head soup directly into it, so there was no need to add salt separately.
After dinner, Bai Dashan and Baiyun Mountain continued to pull out straw roots, while Li Chengcheng continued to dig Houttuynia cordata. The edge of the field was covered with Houttuynia cordata, enough for her to sell for several days. You can imagine, one
How many Houttuynia cordata must there be in the entire Anju Village, and how much money would she make?
