Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 58 New Discoveries

When he went back, Hong Haoan was cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks, and Pu Huang hurriedly stepped forward to take over. He was in a wheelchair, his head was just above the table, and his hands were very inconvenient.

"Hey, let me clean up these things first, go eat, it's so late." Pu Huang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table and put them in the basin beside him, at the same time took a rag to wipe the table, and The table was removed.

Turning around, she saw Hong Haoan's sullen look, and she wondered: "What's the matter, seeing you so unhappy?"

"My lady, when the fourth brother and the fourth younger sister came, I didn't stop them. Isn't it very useless?"

It is said that disabled people are always more sensitive than others. Pu Huang recalled his attitude towards those two thick-skinned people just now, so Hong Haoan was afraid that she would be angry?

"I don't blame you for this. Even if I'm here, there's no guarantee that I can stop them. We've got thick skins, and we all have to give in." The fact is so, we can't let that couple grab the share of those artisans.

"Hey, let's discuss this matter later, lady, let's eat first." Because there were too many people, the roasted winter melon with chicken was finished, and there was only a little stir-fried green beans with three layers of meat left, and there were quite a lot of pumpkin and sweet potato leaves. Together with the remaining fish, it was heated up, and the two ate a meal together.

After tidying things up, Puhuang began to worry about the afternoon snack. The time was around Shen time. After calculating the time, Puhuang decided to go to the mountain. Firstly, the vegetables in the valley could be picked and eaten fresh, and secondly, firewood It's about to disappear again, so I have to pick some back.

In the afternoon, I will make gnocchi, using wheat flour mixed with a lot of cornmeal. There is no way, they are big men with a big appetite, so they have to find a way not to exceed the expenditure.

Puhuang calculated the time and asked Hong Haoan to knead the dough and cut the meat when she was away, so that she could cook it when she came back.

The compost pool in the valley has expanded Puhuang a lot, and she added some dead branches and leaves to it from time to time. Regarding the situation of pumpkins, due to the special conditions of this valley, it will not be very hot at the hottest time, and when it starts to get cold outside, the temperature will drop but not significantly, so these midsummer vegetables are planted, and the fruits they bear grow long. Not very well.

Puhuang turned around twice, and found that many pumpkins were half-grown and still green, and their roots would fall off. After searching, there were seven or eight pumpkins, and two of them were still rotten, so they had to be thrown into the lake to feed them. fish.However, such uncooked pumpkins are also a dish for stir-frying.

The red amaranth doesn’t grow any longer, some of them are getting old, and the cattails are all picked. The gnocchi in the afternoon can be put away, and the water spinach can be harvested once or twice by visual inspection. Ready to plant winter vegetables.

They rushed back in time, and when they passed the homestead, those craftsmen greeted Puhuang one after another. Obviously, they were very satisfied with the lunch at noon.Using mental power to explore the green herbal tea in the wooden barrel, it has bottomed out, and she really has less preparations.

Putting down the firewood and big sacks, Puhuang began to wash the vegetables. Hong Haoan helped to light the fire, threw the meat down to fry the oil, and when it was almost done, Puhuang poured a large pot of water into it. Let it go, roll a few times and it's almost done.And the other pot was not idle, it was made of light bamboo leaf soup, but this time no salted radish was put in, and some salt was directly poured into it and put in a bucket.

Because the red amaranth is put in, the noodles are dyed a layer of pink, and the soup is also red. Just looking at it makes people very appetizing.Puhuang poured the noodle soup into the wooden barrel and took enough bowls before sending it to the homestead with Hong Haoan.

Hong Haoan greeted these craftsmen to eat snacks, and Pu Huang poured the tea in the bucket into the wooden barrel and went back. At night, she didn't have to worry about the craftsmen's diet, as long as she was responsible for herself and Hong Haoan.But I didn't eat enough at noon, so I just left a small pot, planning to fill my stomach, and count tomorrow's meals along the way.

The hares she brought back yesterday were all boiled in white water, sprinkled with salt and placed in wooden barrels. It was a hot day, so she was afraid they would be damaged.I haven't seen potatoes for sale, and no one seems to grow them in the village. Otherwise, I can have potatoes and roasted rabbit meat, which must taste good.

I made pumpkin today, and tomorrow I will stir-fry cattail melon, winter melon soup, roasted rabbit meat, braised fish nuggets, three dishes and one soup, which is relatively rich.Puhuang doesn't want to cook the same food every day, even if those craftsmen are not tired, she is tired of it herself. After thinking about it, she decided to go to the county. She hasn't visited the grain store there yet, maybe she can Buy something you are satisfied with.

Thinking about it, Puhuang was going to go to the homestead, the sun was setting late, and it would be dark when she came back, so she told Hong Haoan to cook some porridge and warm up the steamed buns, so she didn't have to wait for her.When I arrived at the homestead, I saw him distributing the leftover noodle soup to several children. Puhuang was standing not far away, watching him talk to those children gently.

"Lady, why are you here? I can take the barrel back." Hong Haoan turned around and saw Puhuang standing behind him.

"I have something to tell you." Puhuang put the empty bowl into the empty wooden barrel, and walked slowly beside Hong Haoan, "I plan to go to the county seat, it may be dark when I come back, you Something hot to eat."

Hong Hao'an didn't ask Pu Huang what he was going to do, "Okay, be careful on the road."

When we arrived in the county, it was already the end of Shenshi, and the sun was just about to set, but the sky was still very bright. Because it was not hot during the day, the streets became more lively, and the hawkers shouted one after another, which was completely different from the rural situation.

Puhuang's purpose is very clear, mental power swept across the items on both sides of the stall, if there was nothing he wanted, he went directly to the grain store, turned around, mental power swept around, there was nothing he wanted , and the price of beans is a cent more expensive than those in the town, and the quality is not very good.

After visiting two or three grain stores in succession, there was nothing she wanted, even the beans she wanted, and she was not very satisfied. Just when Puhuang was about to give up and buy some beans to go back, she saw the street from the corner of her eye. There is a cloth banner hanging in an alley at the corner.

This grain store looks not small, but there are not many people, there is no waiter, only a middle-aged man is busy.

This store is very special. Puhuang can find the difference with just a quick scan of her mental strength. There are many types of rice, and the quality is better than the same, not to mention black rice and red rice, which makes her very happy. is surprised.

Scanning with mental power, Pu Huang found a pile of potatoes in the corner, with soil on them, but many of them had sprouted, and next to the potatoes, there was a pile of freshly dug sweet potatoes, which turned out to be purple hearts Yes, besides that, there are all kinds of dried peppers and beans in the store, not to mention spices, which are very complete.

It was the first time Puhuang had seen such a variety of shops. If she hadn't been sure that she had traveled through time, she would have thought she was still in modern times. It turned out that ancient times were not as backward as she thought, and there were only those few crops.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell these?" Puhuang asked, pointing to the pile of potatoes. The germination rate is not high. Go back and pick them out to grow seedlings. Put a few in the fire to roast in winter, and then dip some chili sauce. fragrant.

"Ma'am, this one costs five cents a catty. If you want more, it will be cheaper." The shopkeeper said calmly, as if it was not the first time he was asked.

"What if I want them all?" Pu Huang thought about how much these would cost, and she saw that there were yams, which seemed to have been planted early, otherwise it would not be time to harvest.

"All? Four pennies."

"Two catties and seven cents."

"Ma'am, you are too harsh in your bargaining, four cents a catty." The shopkeeper shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Shopkeeper, these have been stored for a while, and they all sprouted. You see, I bought them all, and you can make room for them."

The shopkeeper said with a wry smile: "Madam, you are right, but the price is too low, add more, three cents (1)."

Puhuang knows how much silver there is, but he doesn't know how much money is divided. Maybe it is only used in the sale of a large number of goods.

In the end, Puhuang bought all the potatoes, about 400 catties, plus the yams and mung beans, and it cost more than [-] Wen. She didn't expect to buy so much by herself, so she only brought a sack , I had to buy another temporarily.

After the deal was completed, Puhuang also learned from the shopkeeper that the store also sells seeds, and they are all special or novel. Of course, the price is not low.

I secretly made a note of the location of this store. Puhuang understood something. Many of the businesses in this store are frequent customers. Not many people know about it, and farmers rarely buy grain or vegetables, let alone seeds. , Most of them are kept by themselves, or neighbors and folks help each other.

Because it took a while to find a grain store in the county, it was already dark when Puhuang was on the road. She carried two big sacks and walked briskly on the uneven dirt road. The surrounding was very quiet, and occasionally she could Hear frogs or other insects in the gutter.

The mountain wind blew over her face, it was very cool, and Puhuang was not afraid. Although she was the only one on the road, she was very motivated to rush home. Maybe it was because someone was waiting for her there, or maybe she really wanted to go there. As a home.

When entering the village, there were a few barking dogs, and Puhuang's footsteps couldn't help but quicken his pace. When he arrived at the two thatched cottages, he saw the door was open, and there were oil lamps inside, swaying in the wind.

"Ma'am, you're back. You're exhausted. Come and drink some water." Hong Hao'an turned his wheelchair to the kitchen, poured cold water into the bowl, and handed it to Puhuang.

Pu Huang took it unceremoniously, Gulu Gulu finished drinking it, wiped his mouth, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat, I cooked porridge. I didn't cook any vegetables. I'll light the fire. You can cut two eggs to serve with the porridge." Hong Haoan looked very active.

Pu Huang originally wanted to refuse, but she looked at the porridge in the other pot, and Hong Haoan didn't seem to eat much, so she didn't refuse, "Okay, you turn on the fire."

Puhuang quickly fried a few eggs, cut up a small pumpkin brought back today, and finished the meal with the still warm rice porridge.
