Chapter 148 148. Continued Lettuce

But now it is the Qingming Festival, and the mint has only grown a fresh and tender clump. Plus, this is a new arrival and I didn’t prepare any chicken blood...

The seventh cousin sighed sadly and decided to put this dish in the summer.

Here, Zhang Yanping had picked up a large handful of the blooming rapeseed flowers and gathered them in his arms, then threw them into the basket.

The seventh cousin glanced down and immediately jumped:

"Why do you choose the ones that are in full bloom? Aren't the ones with buds more fresh?"

Zhang Yanping was at a loss for a moment. He didn't cook either, so how could he know that what he wanted for rapeseed flowers was not flowers but buds?

But this does not prevent him from being confident:

"Seventh Cousin," he didn't know what to call, so he just followed Tan Tan: "The bees here are collecting nectar. Leave the buds to them. We can just eat what they left. I won't pick."

Seventh Cousin:......

The chef won't listen to this!

"Don't say this out loud. It's not shabby enough. What kind of family is this? To eat a rapeseed flower, you still have to pick out the leftovers from the bees..."

But thinking about the sweetness of the honey water he tasted yesterday, he couldn't help but smack his lips:

"Old lady, did you drink the honey water last night?"

"Drink." Grandma Qi answered simply and neatly: "Don't tell me, I slept very soundly at night, and I went to the toilet this morning, which was very smooth."

As we get older, our gastrointestinal function is actually not as good as when we were young, and constipation is a common thing.

I've only been back for one night, and I feel so comfortable in my bones. Let's talk about it to Grandma Qi: Everywhere in my body feels comfortable.

Hearing this, the seventh cousin also touched his belly and remembered the wanton grain cycle this morning...

Look at the blooming rapeseed flowers in the basket. Let’s just eat the leftovers. I really don’t dislike them anymore.

Zhang Yanping followed behind with a basket in hand and wandered around. Not far away, he saw his seventh cousin stopping at the edge of someone else's vegetable garden to look at the coriander crawling all over the ground.

He looked over and immediately said excitedly: "Do you want to eat fish for lunch?"

Oops, the wild crucian carp his uncle caught was especially sweet when stewed in soup and braised, and I never got tired of it no matter how much I ate it.

But I didn’t eat less at home during this period. How many fish did I catch? Why haven't you finished eating yet?

Just as this thought passed through my mind, I saw the seventh cousin shaking his head: "I rummaged through the refrigerator yesterday, and there was no crucian carp left, leaving only a pack of salted fish cubes. This coriander is growing quite well. When I get back, go to Brother Dig more coriander in the garden, and I roasted the remaining beef with coriander peppers."

Zhang Yanping didn't know what was going on, but just hearing the name made his mouth water.

After thinking about the taste carefully, I realized that I had lived in vain for more than 20 years. It’s okay if I haven’t eaten the rapeseed flowers in front of me. Why haven’t I eaten this coriander roast beef?

My stomach is full and bloated, but my mouth is full of saliva. This feeling is particularly unpleasant!

The three of them walked around half the mountain. The seventh cousin felt refreshed and strong, and he wanted to show off his cooking skills at everything he saw.

When I was about to go home, I saw a clump of newly sprouted wolfberries at the edge of the woods.

So he commanded unceremoniously:

"Yan Ping, go pick some wolfberry buds."

Then he took out his phone and called Song Tan:

"Song Tan, have you been to the city? Remember to weigh a pound of pears when you come back! I will pick some wolfberry sprouts and make egg-shredded wolfberry sprouts for you at noon with eggs and pork hind legs. ball."

The ground pear that the seventh cousin mentioned is a common saying here. The scientific name of this thing is water chestnut. When I was a child, I grew rice at home, and I could always dig out a lot of it when plowing the fields.

Song Tan also likes to eat it, but it is round like a glutinous rice dumpling, and peeling it is very troublesome. Therefore, when she was working in Ningcheng, she would always enjoy herself by buying a bagful of fruits peeled from the fruit stall for five yuan.

So I agreed.

No need to ask, Zhang Yanping has never eaten this dish before.

While he was picking the wolfberry buds carefully, taking precautions not to be pricked by the thorns, he was drooling more and more: What should I say?

Suddenly I felt like the manager of the royal kitchen.

…

At the same time, uncle Song Dafang lost his temper at home:

"If you don't want to cook, tell me as soon as possible. I'll buy it from the restaurant at the door. I won't be hungry."

"That's right!" Sun Yanyan, the daughter-in-law, saw her mother-in-law sitting at the door of the kitchen again, peeling lettuce, and her head got big:

"Mom, no matter how much lettuce you have, you can't eat it every time! Ziyi cried after eating it last night."

Isn't this when I returned to my hometown two days ago and brought back all the lettuce from three longlands?

I thought it was as delicious as milkvetch, and I was planning to see if I could sell it for a higher price or something...

Who knew that when it was fried that night, it would be no different from the lettuce in my hometown, or even from the vegetable market.

Mao Li's face turned dark at that time:

"How dare you sell this thing for twenty-one pounds? Even a dog wouldn't be fooled!"

Uncle Song's face instantly darkened, and he smacked his chopsticks: "If no dog is fooled, why are you two doing such a big basket?"

Mao Li:......

She said in her heart that I didn’t scold myself, but you brought the scolding on yourself!

But she only dared to whisper: "Then you didn't stop us when we went digging."

Look at the dozens of strong lettuce trees in the kitchen, for God’s sake! How should their family of five eat?

It's impossible to throw it away. If you give it away...why give it away? Why should I ask others to take advantage of me?

So, when we got home that day, in addition to a meal of stir-fried shredded lettuce that night, Ziyi's porridge the next morning was filled with diced lettuce.

Mao Li's cooking skills were average, and she put the lettuce directly into the porridge without blanching it. The child pushed the bowl away and said, "It's worse than grass."

At noon, lettuce was stewed with pork ribs, which was okay, the pork ribs were still quite fragrant.

Everyone had a full stomach.

But when it was night, in addition to the lettuce stewed with pork ribs left over from lunch, there was an extra dish of lettuce fried with shredded pork.

The family's faces were as green as the lettuce, and they forced themselves to finish it.

Who knew that early this morning, Mao Li made an egg pancake for Ziyi - children like to be beautiful, so they usually add a piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a piece of bacon.

Whether it tastes good or not, it must be bright and have a sense of ritual.

Today, I didn't save any trouble. The shredded lettuce was finely grated and rolled in after it was blanched.

Including the lunch at home, this is several meals of lettuce.

The child cried to go to kindergarten.

After finally going there in the morning, we saw her sitting at the kitchen door, watching TV and peeling lettuce. The whole family couldn't stand it.

Mao Li was also angry: "If Tan Tan hadn't been treacherous and deliberately asked us to bring back this unpalatable lettuce, why would there be so much in the kitchen?"

If you don't eat it quickly, you can just throw it away. It costs two yuan per catty in the vegetable market!

They are all farmers. The uncle didn't say to throw it away, but his face was dark: "Then give it to others! Give more to Hongmei, give more to the neighbors, or I'll take it to the store to share it with the left and right."

"That won't work."

Mao Li thought: What can I give when it's not a festival? "

This lettuce is strong, one catty is several catties, and two pieces are more than ten yuan. How can I live like this?"

Oh, I'm hungry from writing... My mouth is watering.
