Nongmen sisters and brothers are not simple

Chapter 55 Hibiscus Flower (Thank you Xishou for the reward)

"Fanyue, go to the aunt's house next door, so that they don't have to make lunch today, let them come to our house for dinner today. Let's say we caught two water snakes, and let them come over to eat together by making snake soup today.

Also, the big lady in the back kitchen is stewing snake soup with a low fire. You can go to the kitchen after a while to see, don't put out the fire of the snake soup, keep the snake soup on a low fire. "Xie Fanxing put the snake soup on the stove to cook slowly, she told Fanyue.

And she went out with her back basket on her back, and today she was going to treat her uncle's family to dinner, Xie Fanxing planned to go out and see if she could find any food to eat back.

"Sister, where are you going?" Xie Fanxing had just left the door when Xie Fanwen walked up to him and asked.

"Today Eldest Sister invites your family to dinner, go out and have a look and get some vegetables to cook and eat when you come back." Xie Fanxing patted Fanwen's head and said.

"Sister, let me go with you! Brother Fanyang, Brother Fanri, won't they go with you?" Xie Fanwen heard this, and begged Xie Fanxing to take him with him.

"The three of them, Fanyang, Fanchen and Fanri, went to Uncle Cao's house early in the morning, and they haven't come back yet. It's not hot yet, but my eldest sister is afraid that you won't be able to stand the heat, and when the time comes, you'll suffer from heatstroke, so it's hard to explain to your mother. You took the bamboo hat and went with the eldest sister."

"Okay!" Xie Fanwen heard that his elder sister took him to find something to eat, so he hurried to get the bamboo hat at home excitedly.

After he put on the bamboo hat, Xie Fanxing took Xie Fanwen to the deserted field at the foot of the mountain.

Xie Fanxing had discovered earlier that there was a small piece of wild tall bamboo shoots in that field.

At this time, the tall bamboo shoots have already grown.

So, today, Xie Fanxing plans to pick some tall bamboo shoots and stir-fry vegetables.

"The tall bamboo shoots have grown, big sister, shall we pick high bamboo shoots and fry them today?" Xie Fanwen followed his big sister to a field of tall bamboo shoots. Pull up your trousers and go into the water to pick tall bamboo shoots.

"What are you doing? If you catch a cold, don't tell me that you suffer, and the elder sister will have to be told by your aunt. I see if you can come out with me next time, you won't go into the water, just stand here and watch Eldest sister has picked tall bamboo shoots." Seeing that Fan Wen wanted to go into the water to pick tall bamboo shoots with her, Xie Fanxing quickly stopped Fan Wen.

Fan Wen was born prematurely, it is not good to have a small body, he can neither be cold nor hot, even though he is happy and lively every day, it is because he cannot do without decoction every day, and uses medicine to support his body.

"It's so boring to stand on the bank and watch the eldest sister pick tall bamboo shoots." Xie Fanwen pouted a little unhappy.

"There must be work for you. Have you seen the Cantonese vegetables in front of you? Go and pull out some bigger ones and come back. Today, the elder sister also uses Cantonese vegetables to make a dish." Xie Fanxing pointed to the cantonese vegetables growing on the bank of the field Guangcai said to Xie Fanwen.

Xie Fanxing sent Fanwen to get Cantonese vegetables, so she tied up her trousers and went into the water to pick bamboo shoots.

This piece of tall bamboo shoots is wild, and no one takes care of it or fertilizes it. As a result, the tall bamboo shoots in this piece of bamboo shoots are not very big, and each of them is as thin as an adult's two fingers.

Xie Fanxing picked a tall bamboo shoot, she peeled off the outer skin, wiped it on her body, and started to eat it.

I didn't expect that such a thin and tall bamboo shoot would be extra sweet and juicy. This wild one is delicious.

After Xie Fanxing ate the tall bamboo shoots in her hands two or three times, she began to rummage through the tall bamboo shoots in the forest.

I don't know if it's because the villagers don't like to eat tall bamboo shoots, or if no one has picked them for a long time. There are a lot of wild tall bamboo shoots in this area.

Xie Fanxing picked a lot of them in a short time, and it is not easy to keep this stuff in hot weather. If you want to eat, you can come and pick it at any time. Xie Fanxing picks enough to eat, and then he will stop.

"Fanwen, Elder Sister is done picking, have you finished picking Cantonese vegetables?" Xie Fanxing greeted Fanwen and went back.

"Sister, I got three sticks of Cantonese vegetables, have you seen enough?" Xie Fanwen held three sticks of Cantonese vegetables that were more than half his height in one hand, and walked towards Xie Fanxing with a black thing in the other.

When Fanwen came, he heard the cry in his hands, and Xie Fanxing knew that Fanwen had caught a cicada to play with.

"That's enough. Let's go to the poplar tree and dig something to eat." Xie Fanxing saw the cicada in Fanwen's hand, and then she remembered that at this time, there are cicada pupae to eat.

According to her experience of catching cicada pupae in the past, poplar is the favorite tree of cicadas and pupae. There are many cicada sloughs on the trunk, and there are deep and round holes under the tree—the pupae that cicadas laid eggs and buried in the ground.

Therefore, as long as they see a small hole under the poplar tree and dig into the small hole, they will be able to dig out the cicada pupae.

"Sister, let's dig under the poplar tree for something to eat." Xie Fanwen asked incomprehensibly.

"Dig what's in your hand to eat." Xie Fanxing pointed to the cicada in Xie Fanwen's hand.

"Big sister, you can eat it if you know it, but it's delicious."

"Cicadas can't be eaten. What we eat are cicada pupae that haven't grown up yet. When the elder sister makes them, they will have a strong fragrance and taste crunchy. I guarantee you will want to eat them again." I haven't eaten it in the south, because people in the north eat a lot, so I haven't eaten Fanwen, and Xie Fanxing doesn't think it's strange.

When the two of them came to the poplar tree, they saw small holes under the poplar tree.

Xie Fanxing found a piece of tree branch, picked it into a small hole, and lifted the soil, and saw a cicada chrysalis lying in the small hole.

"Sister, let's just eat this, right? This is when Cicada was a child, why doesn't it look like it?" Xie Fanwen saw that his elder sister made a cicada chrysalis, picked it up and looked at it carefully, it was soft and plump , I feel that there is a lot of meat, it should be delicious.

"Hmm! You can also help me out. Do you see these small holes? There is a cicada pupa in each small hole. You pick the branch to open the small hole, and then pinch the cicada pupa inside.

Let's do it quickly, the eldest sister will go home to cook later. "Xie Fanxing greeted Fanwen to quickly dig out the cicada pupae.

"Okay!" Xie Fanwen found a branch, and quickly went to dig out the cicada pupae.

It was done very quickly and carefully.

Xie Fanxing felt that as long as there was food to catch Xie Fanwen, he would do whatever you asked him to do.

.

On the other side, when the three brothers and sister Xie Fanyang came back, Fanchen saw a hibiscus tree when he passed by the side of the road in the village.

Many hibiscus flowers grew on the hibiscus tree, she immediately stopped and shouted: "Brother, Fanri, please help me pick some hibiscus flowers back."

"Fanchen, what are you doing picking this flower and going back? The flower is not too big or ugly, and it's not easy to put in a vase as a decoration?" Xie Fanyang turned his head and glanced at the hibiscus flower and said.

"I have my own use, big brother, can you help me?" Xie Fanchen glanced at Xie Fanri, she pocketed her clothes, picked off the blossoming hibiscus flowers and put them in her pockets.

Xie Fanri saw his third sister glanced at him, and he also helped pick it when he saw it.

Seeing that his younger siblings were all picking hibiscus flowers, Xie Fanyang went home alone. It was not good to leave the two of them behind, so he had no choice but to accompany them to pick hibiscus flowers.
