Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 98

Now that Yuxian is healed, she can't stay still, and within two days she led Chuntao into the forest to pick wild vegetables.At this time, the big leaf celery has grown tall and can be eaten, but the leaves have to be removed. Dalang and the others have gone to the mountains to pick them a few times, so Yuxian is not greedy anymore.This time Yuxian is looking for monkey legs and Cantonese dishes, both of which belong to the bracken category.Cantonese cuisine is also called cucumber fragrance, which means that in places where Cantonese cuisine grows in patches, you will smell a fresh scent of cucumber. This Cantonese cuisine is very good when fried.But Yuxian's favorite is monkey legs, because this kind of dish can not only be eaten fresh, but also can be scalded with water and dried in the sun to eat in winter.After experiencing the dilemma of having no vegetables to eat last winter, what Yuxian wants most now is to store winter vegetables, so as long as she thinks of something that can be stored, she will get more of it.

Monkey legs grow in humid places, and the general ditch will have them.Yuxian and Chuntao walked into the forest, and arrived at the patch of jujubes picked last year, where a lot of monkey legs grew.Monkey legs usually have more than ten legs growing together, and each has a lot of scaly black hairs.Both of them held small knives in their hands, and cut them off directly when they found them, so that it happened to be a small handful.The water content of this stuff is very high, and it takes about 20 catties to dry into one catty, so we need to harvest more.There are other ferns in this field, such as Niumaoguang, which is also called Weicai.Yuxian thinks it is too bitter and not tasty.In the previous life, this kind of ox hair was harvested and dried, and then exported to Japan. I don’t know if there is such a country, but Yuxian doesn’t know how to pick ox hair.

The two of them had been busy for a while, and the back basket was full. They had no choice but to go home.When I got home, my brothers also came back.At this time, it was the time when the fish were biting the flood season. There were a lot of fish, and my brothers caught a lot of fish.The big ones are kept in wooden barrels, and will be sold in the town tomorrow, while the small ones are all willow roots, loach, noodle fish and the like.Squeeze out the intestines, then salt them, take them outside to dry, and they become delicious dried fish.

Seeing Yuxian and Chuntao coming back from the outside with baskets on their backs, Da Lang lowered his face, "Yuxian, didn't you say that you are not allowed to go up the mountain in the future? Even if you go, you have to follow us, why are you going up the mountain again?" went?"

"Brother, I went with Sister Chuntao, it's okay." Yuxian ran to the big brother, looked at the big pot of small fish, "Brother, you got so many small fish, this is good, can you There are a lot of dried fish.”

"Don't play sloppy eyes there. Let me tell you, even Chuntao can't go with you. Two girls, what if you encounter a wild beast in the woods?" Da Lang scolded his sister with a straight face.

"Okay, just be careful next time. Brother, are we going to dry these fish into dried fish? Why don't you squeeze the intestines of the fish? Let me help you." Yuxian rolled up her sleeves and Go squeeze the fish.

Da Lang shook his head helplessly, and then began to squeeze the fish. There are quite a lot of fish. If only one person relies on it, he doesn't know how long it will take.Fortunately, there were so many people in the family, everyone worked together, and it didn't take long to squeeze it out.At this time, lunch was ready. Everyone washed their hands and went to eat.

Fang's stewed two big fish, and at noon it was rhubarb rice, this rhubarb rice could not be left untouched, as it would cause worms.There are still some at home. During this period of time, Fang will cook some from time to time.There are also two stir-fried dishes on the table, of course, stir-fried Cantonese dishes and monkey legs, which is not bad.The children's food was very delicious. The three of Xue's family were very picky when they were at home, but they are not picky now. Everything they eat tastes good, and they have grown a lot.A bunch of boys ate, gobbling it up.Fortunately, these children are well-bred, and they know how to be humble when they eat delicious food, so there has never been a fight at the dinner table because of eating.The Fang family always cooks more dishes, but there is not enough to fill them up, so the Tong family does not have a rule of dividing dishes.

"Mother, burn the monkey's legs this afternoon. I'm going to dry them and save them for winter." Yuxian remembered the wild vegetables they brought back.

"Look at our Yuxian, she has started to store winter food before autumn, it seems that she was really scared by the lack of food last winter." Fang said with a smile. "Okay, I'll scald it for you when the fire is burning at night. By the way, how do you dry it, can it be dried directly?"

"No, you have to knead while drying, and knead every vegetable vigorously."

"Oh, then you have to teach me about this. It's been sunny these days, which is a good time to dry things. The fish are all squeezed, and they can be dried in the afternoon. It's not bad to keep them dry for winter." Fang Shi looked at the sky outside and said.

"Mother, you're still talking about me, don't you?" Yuxian laughed at her mother.

"Hey, I'm scared too. We have a lot of family members, and if we don't prepare some food, it's really hard to be a human being in winter." Fang also laughed.

After lunch, Yuxian naturally listened to the class for an hour with her brothers, and then ran to find Xiaofeng.Fang was fine, so he went to Chunsheng's house with his daughter.

"Sister Xiaofeng, I'm here to play with you." Yuxian yelled before entering the courtyard.

Xiaofeng heard the voice outside and ran out to see that it was Yuxian. "Sister Yuxian is you, Aunt Tong, you are here too. Sister Yuxian, are you in good health? Why did you come here? I was thinking about going to see you. I just finished planting the land at home, and I am helping Mom has finished washing the clothes." Said, he ran to Yuxian, took her hand, and looked at Yuxian carefully.

"Miss Xiaofeng, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Let me see if you're alright? You're not bad, you look pretty good, but you're a little thinner. Come on, go into the house, and I'll get you some snacks. My dad just bought them from town yesterday." Pulling Yu Xian entered the house.Fang looked at the two little men from behind, and entered the room with a smile.

In the house, Chunsheng's daughter-in-law is mending clothes. The old clothes are almost worn out, but they are suitable for working in the fields, so I still need to mend them.People in rural areas rarely have patches on their bodies.Seeing Mrs. Fang coming, she quickly put her on the kang, "Sister-in-law, why are you free today? Have you finished planting the land at home? If not, ask Chunsheng to help you for two days."

"After the planting is over, there are a lot of workers at home. Although the children are younger, they can still work. Why don't they come out to hang out when they are free?" Fang said with a smile.

"By the way, Yuxian is alright. I think she looks pretty good. What do you think is the Li family? I went to your house to blackmail people last year, but I didn't succeed. I still have a grudge. This time Brother Tong is a good man. Just hit the door and let them know how powerful they are. Sister-in-law, that's the right way, and you have to be tougher in the future, whoever dares to bully us, just beat him down, let's see who dares?" Chunsheng's daughter-in-law was still a little angry.

"Well, that's the way it should be. I've figured it out for a while now. I used to prevent the old lady from hanging herself all day long. It's not like her. This makes people think that my family is easy to bully. Now I'm going home. Now, the old lady can't control this end anymore, I have nothing to be afraid of, so I have to stand up so that people don't dare to look down on me." This time Fang saw it clearly. "By the way, I haven't thanked my sister for going to see Yuxian. Look at these things in my house, and my sister never falls behind. I remember it. If there is anything wrong with my sister in the future, just speak up. Although our family is not good now, but No matter what, as long as the girl opens her mouth, I will definitely do it."

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Between us sisters, there are no fools. Don't worry, if I have something to do in the future, I will definitely speak up." Chunsheng's daughter-in-law was not polite. "By the way, sister-in-law, the Tong family's old house has become noisy again."

"Why, wasn't it better a while ago? Since the old lady hit the wall, didn't they stop at the other end?" Fang couldn't figure out what was going on all day.

"Isn't the fourth daughter-in-law of the Tong family pregnant? It will be more than six months now. A while ago, Shuzhen didn't go to work in the fields during the spring plowing. She just cooked at home, and the second daughter-in-law quit. It happened that Shuzhen Zhen's family came to see her and brought some food, but Shuzhen didn't bring it out. Unexpectedly, some boys from the second child's family ran into other people's house to steal things, and Tong's fourth child just happened to catch them Now. Now the fourth child is quitting and insists on separating the family. The old man was not in good health, and the old lady was also sick with anger. The daughters of the Tong family came back and scolded the younger brothers. Yes. But, I think it’s Xuan, and this family may have to be separated.” Chunsheng’s daughter-in-law talked about the messy things about Tong’s family.

"You said that Junjie is not young anymore, they quit their serious business and sneak around all day long, and I don't know how the second daughter-in-law is disciplined." Fang sighed.

"Sister-in-law, if you want to say that the children in your family don't worry, they all know how to help with work and earn money. Now that they have hired Master to teach, they will definitely be successful in the future." Chunsheng's family also has two sons, They are all studying in the town.The conditions of his family are good. The family has hired a long-term worker, and the children are not required to work, so they have already been sent to private schools.

"It's up to them if they don't do well. I just hope that they will be upright and upright, as long as they don't do anything in the future." Fang's requirements for the children are only these, perhaps because they know the fate of their father. , so Fang did not require his sons to take the imperial examination or anything.

"Sister-in-law never thought about it. After the child finishes his studies, he will get a good reputation in the future and be honored by his ancestors?"

"Sister, you can understand the affairs of my natal family. When my younger brother took the imperial examination, my mother and I didn't agree with it. It was too dark in the court. But I couldn't help my younger brother to insist on taking the exam, so there was nothing I could do. I passed the exam." So what? It looks bright, but it’s nothing more than a servant of the royal family. It’s not as good as us, farming the land and raising pigs, and living a comfortable life.” Fang has another opinion.

　The third one is delivered.It is said that Yuxian's parents have changed a little bit. In fact, people are like this, and they have changed little by little.Hehehe, does anyone agree?Xiao Yuxian is counting pinks with a smile, dear readers, give Yuxian some support.
