Three women in one play, the mother and daughter of the Zhou family and Le Yun came together to form three, talking while working. Most of the time, the mother and daughter of the Zhou family listened to Xiao Lele's jokes about going to the mountains to do research.
For example, she finally found a relatively rare medicinal plant, and oh my god, some wild beast next to it pooped a big poop, and the stench filled the sky;
For another example, she saw a worm and was about to take a beautiful photo of it, when she found a wild bee nest as big as a bowl hanging on the tree. The bees were frightened and flew towards her with their wings spread to settle the score...
…
For villagers living in forest areas, it is normal to encounter wild peaks and animals such as wild cats when climbing mountains. However, those trivial things encountered while running around in the mountains popped out from the Lejia girl's mouth.
It was really wonderful, lively and interesting, and what she said was interesting, making the Zhou family and her daughter laugh sometimes, and sometimes become nervous, for fear that little Lele would be stung by bees.
With more people and greater strength, the Zhou family's mother and daughter worked quickly. Classmate Le turned on the plug-in speed and planted sweet potatoes very quickly. Before ten o'clock, they finished the work in the garden in front of Le's house and moved the garden behind the house. p>
It was almost noon, and the sun was relatively strong. The Zhou family's mother and daughter were afraid that little Lele would be sunburned, so they sent her home and asked her to cook.
As the host, Le Yun did not stay out in the fields. She ran home and washed her hands and feet cleanly. She first scavenged for ingredients to cook, then went to the refrigerator to find a pack of chicken, which was half of what was left over from the Dragon Boat Festival.
Dad Le didn’t eat anything at home, it was still cold.
In summer, thawing would not take long. Le Yun first looked for ingredients, washed a handful of wild mushrooms, Codonopsis pilosula and a few tonics that she had picked up, and also washed a small group of Yunzhi to use as vegetables.
Drain the water from the thawed chicken, make a fire, stir-fry the chicken in the pot, stir-fry the oil, add water, add medicinal materials such as Codonopsis pilosula and dendrobium juice and stew together, simmer over high heat for half an hour, then turn to low heat and simmer until almost out of the oven
Add the mushrooms.
Last year’s local chicken didn’t need to be simmered for too long. It took about fifty minutes to cook. I didn’t eat hot pot on a hot day, so I served it in a large soup bowl. Le Yun also used chicken soup to cook the versicolor mushrooms.
By the time Xiao Lele called for dinner, the Zhou family's mother and daughter had already completed one-third of the work in the garden behind the Le family's house. The two of them stopped working and returned to the Le family home.
The fragrant aroma of the dishes made people hungry. As soon as they started eating, Grandma Zhou picked up the wild mushrooms with her chopsticks, and her mouth was full of fragrance, which made her feel as if the dogs that had been alive for decades had gone into her stomach. p>
"It's delicious, so delicious." Grandma Zhou was full of praise: "Lele has grown up, and the food she cooks is even more delicious than the hotel's chef. I have eaten so many mushrooms and never felt so good.
Eat, I really don’t know who will be lucky enough to be Lele’s new mother in the future. I picked up such a good girl for free.”
Le Yun's eyes sparkled when she smiled. Grandma Zhou was so awesome and never forgot to speak up for her. She felt that her wish to be a new mother might soon come true.
Zhou Qiufeng's old face turned red unconsciously, and he immediately pushed his mother: "Mom, eat your food quickly, don't say anything disrespectful to me, let Lele laugh."
Grandma Zhou looked at her girl, but did not expose her shy little thoughts and just laughed it off.
The aroma is alluring. Zhou Qiufeng also took a bite of the fungus. The taste was unforgettable. The more he ate, the more he wanted to eat it. He was also extremely surprised. What kind of fungus is this?
"Lele, what kind of fungus did you pick up? It doesn't look like the fungus." The fungus is definitely not so delicious, it is crispy and sweet.
"Turkey tail mushrooms, I cooked them with dendrobium soup, so the taste is probably different." Student Le Xiao smiled, revealing his teeth, which are whiter than white jade.
"Oh, why did you cook it and eat it? Two streets ago, a man in Wuli Village picked up a ball of turkey tails, which cost twenty yuan a pound. He was chased by people and asked if he had any more. How could you act like this?
It only costs dozens of yuan to cook. What we eat here is money instead of mushrooms."
Grandma Zhou screamed with heartache. The Le family had been frugal for many years and finally paid off their debts. Le Qing knew that his daughter was willing to buy some meat when she came back from the holiday. On weekdays, she still treated every penny as two cents, so she saved money for
The children are studying. Xiao Lele has also known frugality since she was a child and has never been greedy for food and clothing. Today, she even cooked such expensive things for them to eat. The old man's eyes were filled with warmth. Xiao Lele wanted a new mother, and she had to do it.
To fulfill the child's wish, even if the girl is really not happy, she will still look around and help the child find a suitable new mother.
Zhou Qiufeng's heart also ached. There are many wild mushrooms in the mountains, such as pumpkin mushrooms, pine nut mushrooms, chicken foot bones, green head mushrooms, etc. These are the favorite game foods of tourists and are popular in surrounding counties.
The cheapest ones can be sold for seven or eight yuan per catty. Whenever the season comes, villagers go to the mountains to look for them when they have time, pick them up and sell them for pocket money.
Lele was about to go to the capital to study and was short of money. She finally picked up some turkey tail mushrooms, but instead of selling them, she cooked them as a dish for them to eat. She couldn't help but feel happy.
"You have to eat some of what you need to eat. Only when you eat well can you have strength. There are still some mushrooms sprouting from where I picked them up. I will pick them up again in a few days and take them back to sell on the street. Grandma Zhou, this
But don’t tell others my little secret, otherwise it will be bad if others get jealous and want to follow me to pick up fungi."
To conquer a man, you must first conquer his stomach. For the sake of the new mother, Le Yun decisively adopted a roundabout tactic and decided to conquer the stomachs of Grandma Zhou and Aunt Feng first. Judging from the immediate results, the results are remarkable.
"I understand, I understand, I won't betray Xiao Lele..."
The mother and son were very happy when they heard that there was still a little one. Lele was born close to the mountains and had a mountain edge. When she was a child, she went to the mountains to pick up fungi with her adults. Others worked too hard to pick up many, so she went into the bushes and grass.
If you mess around, you will always come back with a full load.
The mushrooms are all so delicious, not to mention the chicken stewed with dendrobium juice and Codonopsis pilosula. After one bite, the fragrance fills the mouth, making people unable to put it down. They want to swallow all the chopsticks, so that the three of them ate up all the dishes.
Not even a drop of soup is left.
After eating well and having good strength, Grandma Zhou suddenly felt several years younger and relaxed all over. Zhou Qiufeng didn't feel any fatigue at all. She just waited for noon to pass, loaded the dung and grass on the Zhou family's cart, and went to Lejia next to the village full of energy.
Working in the fields.
Walking on the village road, the villagers saw that Grandma Zhou was also helping the Le family with farm work. They felt strange and did not say anything. They chatted with Le Yun very enthusiastically. Even the three or two families who used to look down on the Le family's father and daughter also expressed their enthusiasm.
Changed from normal, when I heard Le Yun say hello, the smile in response became much more sincere.
It has always been common for people to be poor and have short ambitions. It is common for people to be poor and have few relatives and friends. It is human nature to flatter others and underestimate others. Le Yun has long known the warmth and coldness of people, but still has the same attitude as before, and takes it calmly.
