The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 210
"Don't be too busy, let's eat!" Seeing that Leng Ping was planting flowers and writing and drawing on paper, Hao quickly stepped forward and said, "The pancakes are ready, and the shepherd's purse is steamed as you said. , mixed with garlic, try it!"

Leng Ping responded and went to eat.

The fragrant and crispy shepherd's purse pancakes, mixed with shepherd's purse, although the ingredients are a little monotonous, but improved by Leng Ping, it has a different taste, and the children who eat it are full of fragrance.

Hao Shi watched from the side, watching the family reunion, with a smile on his face, while picking up the grasshopper vegetables.

"Mother, let's make steamed dumplings with grasshoppers and vegetables tonight!" Leng Ping typically ate the ones in the bowl and missed the ones in the pot.

Grasshopper vegetables reminded her of her childhood, when her parents didn’t care about her and she was taken by her grandma, who liked to make steamed dumplings with grasshopper vegetables for her the most. .

"Okay, it just so happened that your aunt from the Yu family sent a basket. She is resting today and went up the mountain to pick it. She said she couldn't finish it!" Hao said with a smile.

"Has Yu Xueliang come back today?" As soon as Leng Ping heard about Yu Lin's, she thought of Yu Xueliang who had committed a crime.

"I'm back, but I'm sorry to go out. Your aunt Yu's family refused to ask him to deliver food, so he had to deliver it by himself!" Hao said in a low voice, with some helplessness in her tone.

Last time, although Leng Ping asked Yu Xueliang to go to school, but that was really inappropriate. After all, Yu Xueliang is a few years older than Leng Ping, if it spreads...

"Let Aunt Yu and Yu Xueliang come to dinner tonight, I apologize to him!" Leng Ping said.

Hao Shi was taken aback, then looked up at Leng Ping.

"We have to let him go out no matter what!" Leng Ping said indifferently.

Hao immediately responded.

In the evening, Mrs. Yu Lin came to help Mrs. Hao make steamed dumplings early in the morning. One of them chopped the stuffing and the other kneaded the dough, but Yu Xueliang didn't show up for a long time.

"Hao Ren, follow me to Yu's house!" Leng Ping had no choice but to drag Hao Ren to go out in person.

Hao Ren hesitated for a moment, then followed Leng Ping out.

At Yu's house, Yu Xueliang hesitated several times to step out, but quickly withdrew his foot.

He felt ashamed to go to Hao's house, especially when facing Leng Ping.

Last time, he also felt that he was muddy. Afterwards, he looked at Yu Lin's red and swollen eyes from crying, full of guilt.

Now calm down, all that's left is shame.

"Yu Xueliang!" Hao Ren called him outside.

Only then did Yu Xueliang dawdle out the door.

Leng Ping wanted to ridicule him a few words, but when she saw his dodgy eyes, she sighed and said, "Okay, saints still make mistakes, not to mention you're just a brat, if you know your mistakes, you can correct them. Let's go! Go to my house to eat steamed dumplings!"

Yu Xueliang didn't know what steamed dumplings were, but thinking they were also dumplings, his mouth watered.

He always knew that Leng Ping's food was good, last time she brought Hao Ren and Shitou to the school, he ate a lot of pickles, the taste was something Yu Lin couldn't make.

When he came back this time, he wanted to beg Leng Ping to make some pickles for him, but he was always embarrassed to say so.

Yu Xueliang stumbled behind.

Leng Ping wanted to laugh seeing him, he was a child after all!
Hao Ren has been secretly observing Leng Ping. The last time Leng Ping taught Yu Xueliang, he only heard Yu Xueliang later. Yu Xueliang described it as no less than the legendary Sanniang Godson. Thinking, Leng Ping is out of a kind of psychology, after all, Leng Ping is also one year younger than Yu Xueliang, and the two have never been familiar with each other, this behavior is really too weird.

Hao Ren was observing Leng Ping at this moment, and suddenly had a very strange feeling, as if Leng Ping treated them as children—because they were children, it was only natural to teach them a lesson with a broom!
Thinking about it, Leng Ping is only three years older than him, where did this old-fashioned mentality come from?Could it be...

Hao Ren didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

Along the way, Yu Xueliang had long forgotten what happened before, and talked to Hao Ren about the interesting things in the school, while Hao Ren only looked at Leng Ping's back, full of thought.

Seeing that Hao Ren didn't respond, Yu Xueliang's interest was halved, and he wanted to talk to Leng Ping, but he was a little afraid - seeing the broom now, he still felt his shoulder hurt!

Finally arrived at Hao's house.

"Ping'er, according to what you said, the stuffing was chopped after kneading all the bitterness, what do you think?" Hao Shi stepped forward with the prepared stuffing.

The green grasshopper vegetables, with the addition of pink pork, have bursts of aroma.

Leng Ping nodded, then washed her hands and took a bag.

"Can this dumpling still be steamed?" Seeing that Yu Xueliang had finally returned to normal, Yu Lin let go of the big stone in his heart, spoke a lot more easily, and had a smile on his face.

"Steamed dumplings are not easy to disperse, and the moisture inside is not easy to lose. They are more delicious than boiled dumplings!" Leng Ping smiled, and arranged the wrapped dumplings on the drawer of the big pot.

"Let's try it and see if it's delicious!" Hao said with a smile, "This big family eats it in a variety of ways. Ping'er must have eaten it at Ruan's!"

Leng Ping also smiled and did not argue.

The dumplings were put on the basket, after a while Hao Shi started to light the fire, while Leng Ping prepared side dishes and oil dishes.

Pickled leeks and pickles, with a little vinegar, and garlic mixed with grasshoppers, served with the hot dumplings, it is extra flavorful.

The two families had a solid meal together.

Yu Lin was full of praise for the steamed dumplings, and said that he would try to make them himself when he returned home.

Hao Shi was naturally happy when others praised his daughter-in-law, and had a great night!
Yu Xueliang's matter is over.

On the second day, Leng Ping took Yuan Kui and his wife to the mountains to gather medicine, Hao Ren and Hao Dan also followed.

Several people carried baskets on their backs and held small shovels in their hands.

Since several of them didn't understand medicine, Leng Ping dug a plant first and asked them to hold it and draw ladles according to the gourd.

Rehmannia glutinosa likes warm climates and is more cold-resistant. It is more common on hillsides with sufficient sunlight and deep soil layers, while mint and Houttuynia cordata mostly grow by river ditches or in wet mountains, so Leng Ping divided the work among several people, so that Yuan Kui took the leftover girl to the hillside, and she took Hao Dan and Hao Ren to the ditch.

"Look, this mint has a cool fragrance, and the medicinal part is the stem and leaves, but what I need is the rhizome below it, so I have to dig up the whole plant!" Leng Ping said while Find one, use a small shovel to shovel to the root, and dig it up.

"Houttuynia cordata is easier to recognize. The leaves are fat and have a fishy smell. Now is not the time to harvest Houttuynia cordata, so we can only transplant it. When digging, we must take the soil on the root with us, so that we can transplant it alive. !" Leng Ping was demonstrating in front, Hao Ren and Hao Dan followed behind, and the three of them walked down the mountain stream bit by bit.
