After crossing, I look forward to the three stepmothers leaving the singles every day

Chapter 12 Weeds Are Treasures

After Luo Yunfei and Ji Xiangyan went out with their hoes on their shoulders, Nan Xing ran to the kitchen.

When she wanted to step in, she was stopped by Chunmei: "Little lady, Erniang said that you are not allowed to enter the kitchen."

Nan Xing wanted to scold people a little bit, but he held back and explained patiently: "Meizi, look, you and Juzi are here, even if I go into the kitchen, I can't do anything. With you guys watching, how can I still be happy?" Burn the kitchen down?"

Chunmei and Qiuju looked at each other silently, their words seemed to make sense.

Just as they were hesitating, Nan Xing had already squeezed in: "Juzi, light up the fire. Meizi, find the candy that Erniang hid."

"...Isn't this bad?" Chunmei was startled. This is a ground breaking on the tiger's head. If Luo Yunfei finds out, it will end badly.

Qiu Ju didn't have such troubles, so she stuffed dry firewood mixed with straw into the stove and started the fire.

Nan Xing glanced at Chunmei, a little helpless: "Okay, where is the thing hidden? I'll get it myself."

When cooking, Chunmei often stood by Luo Yunfei's side, so if you want to know where things are hidden, just ask her.

Seeing what she said, Chunmei immediately felt relieved, and Balad told her the location, and Nan Xing found Tang without any effort.

After a while, the fire was raging and the cold water was about to boil. Nan Xing separated the pot into three spaces with bamboo slices, then poured the largest and best pile of apricots in the middle, and finally poured the other two piles into the pot separately. In the remaining two spaces.

Qiu Ju and Chun Mei stared wide-eyed, watching her in shock, unable to help at all.

Nan Xing silently counted 120 times in his heart, which is 2 minutes, and then quickly scooped up the apricot fruit and poured out the water.

In doing so, the purpose is to remove some of the sour taste.

Because sugar is expensive and not much, they need to take it easy.

After replacing it with clean water, Nan Xing asked Qiu Ju to continue to increase the fire, and then poured some sugar into the pot.

After the water boiled, Nan Xing poured the apricots down again. After cooking for a while, she ordered Qiu Ju to turn down the fire, and then added some sugar. After repeating this twice, she stopped. When the sugar solution started to thicken, she ordered Qiu Ju to cease fire.

Smelling the sweet fragrance wafting from the pot, Chunmei and Qiuju looked at her in surprise, blinked and asked, "That's it?"

With two 'pops', Nan Xing patted their hands reaching into the pot.

Then, she explained with a smile: "I can't eat it yet. After soaking the apricot fruit and sugar liquid for four or five hours, I can take it out and put it on the bamboo pan to drain. Then I can make preserved apricots. The weather is good now. It's hot at night, so it should be almost the same by the next day."

"Okay..." Qiu Ju and Chun Mei looked at the preserved apricots in the pot wistfully.

They swallowed their saliva, wishing they could taste it right away.

"Giggle..."

"Quack quack..."

At this time, the chickens and ducks who had been tied with the little red thread before were staring wide-eyed!

Their calls one after another immediately attracted Nan Xing, and also brought Qiu Ju and Chun Mei back to their senses.

Nan Xing watched them barking non-stop, and asked nervously, "Meizi, Juzi, come and have a look, what's wrong with them?"

Now this chicken and duck are her ancestors, so they have to be taken care of, otherwise, if something happens, it will be bad to give her a big face curse.

Qiu Ju scratched her head and said with a smile: "They are hungry, I forgot to feed them. When Er Niang came back today, she brought back some weeds, and said she asked me to chop them up for them to eat, saying that they were ready to eat." You can lay more eggs." She said, taking some fresh weeds from the corner of the gate.

When she was about to chop it off, Nan Xing suddenly stopped her: "Wait, where did this come from?"

She plucked a few times from the weeds and picked out several plantains that were growing well.

Qiu Ju was puzzled: "Er Niang said that the weeds in the dry land have grown in vain all these years, and it's fine to feed them to chickens and ducks. Is there any problem with that?"

Hearing this, Nan Xing's eyes brightened instantly: "Did Er Niang say that this kind of weed grows too much?"

Qiu Ju was taken aback, looked at the weeds in her hand, compared them with those on the ground, scratched her head and said, "The ones in your hand grow the most lushly, but the rest are far behind, so I Guess, there should be quite a few…”

Nan Xing saw that what she said was the same as what he analyzed in his heart, so he said with a smile on his face: "Sure enough, the ground is full of treasures."

So, she hurriedly urged Qiu Ju to chop up the rest of the weeds and feed them to the chickens and ducks, and then led them out to find Luo Yunfei and Ji Xiangyan.

Nan Xing also deliberately quickened his pace, fearing that if he went late, the plantain in his hand would be fertilized by Luo Yunfei and the others, which would be a pity.

Although Qiu Ju and Chun Mei were puzzled, they trotted up and followed behind her.

"Auntie, Erniang..." Nan Xing shouted from a long distance away.

The sun was shining, and Ji Xiangyan, who was weeding, was sweating profusely. She was so tired that she almost collapsed. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her. You are calling me, do you hear it? It seems to be Xing'er's voice..."

Luo Yunfei, who was concentrating on her work, rolled her eyes and said, "Xing'er's injury hasn't healed yet, why are you here? Hurry up and work, if you don't finish weeding this dry land today, you won't have to go home for dinner. Let Qiumei bring it to you sometime, and let you go back after eating and eating."

Ji Xiangyan only felt that her forehead was slapped severely: "...if this goes on, even the donkeys of the production team will not be able to bear it."

"I'm sorry, donkeys are worth more than you." Luo Yunfei looked at her with disgust.

Ji Xiangyan choked: "..."

I thought that a man is better than a donkey and a dead man.

In this world, poor people's lives are worthless.

Aunt Saturday, who was busy next to her, smiled and said, "Isn't that your Nan Xing?"

Hearing this, Luo Yunfei looked up and saw that it was Nan Xing from their family running towards them, with Qiu Ju and Chun Mei following behind.

Ji Xiangyan curled her lips and looked at Luo Yunfei innocently, complaining in her heart that she had been scolded a little bit wronged just now.

When Nan Xing approached, Luo Yunfei wiped her sweat distressedly: "The sun is shining, your injury is still not healed, what are you doing here? Be obedient, go back quickly." She turned her head to Qiu Ju and Chun Mei Nian muttered: "You guys go back too, be careful of the heat, if you get sick, the family doesn't have the money to find a doctor for you."

Meeting her sharp eyes, Qiu Ju and Chun Mei's bodies trembled involuntarily, wanting to drag Nan Xing back.

Nan Xing held up the plantain plant in his hand, and said with a smile, "Er Niang, I want this kind of weed."

"What's the use of you coming here?" Luo Yunfei took a look at the plantain in her hand with a puzzled expression, and saw that the leaves were smooth and the rhizomes were thick and easy to identify. These two dry lands had grown a lot. And it's one of the most lush.
