Chapter 7
After a while, the whole family got up, boiled a pot of corn porridge, and everyone drank a bowl before doing their own work.

It's just that the eldest brother and the second brother were arranged by Wang to go to the mountain to dig bracken and wild onions with Tong Zhuzhu, and they rushed back to deal with it, and they could be carried to the town to sell as early as possible, and they would arrive at noon.

The three of them stepped up to the "Big Bald Mountain", and Tong Zhuzhu rested on the mountain for a long time before getting out of breath.

Tong Xin and Tong Yi felt distressed seeing her like this, so they let her rest where she was, and they dug by themselves.

Tong Zhuzhu told them that wild onions should be easily found in fertile and flat places, so she let them go.

After a while, the eldest brother Tong Xin came back with a big handful of wild onions, and the second brother Tong Yi also came back with most of the bracken on his back.

Tong Zhuzhu felt that the first day was just a trial, and she might not be able to sell it. She felt that there was no need to prepare too much, so she asked her two brothers to go down the mountain.

When I got home, my two elder brothers tied the bracken into small bundles with palm leaves, and they were neatly stacked.Rinse the roots of the wild onions with water, remove the yellow leaves, and tie them into small bundles with brown leaves. The blue and white green wild onions make people feel good.

She neatly put the bracken in her back pocket, and put the wild onion on top of the bracken, so as not to be crushed under it.

I went to pick two large leaves and put them on top of the wild onions to block the sun and keep the wild onions fresh.

After doing all this, Tong Zhuzhu and her elder brother and second brother rushed to Minle Town, which is a remote town in Dongming Country.

Tongjia Village is about two hours away from Minle Town. Tong Xin and Tong Yi looked at Tong Zhuzhu, who was sweating profusely, walking slowly behind, and couldn't bear it. The donkey cart in the village just refused to sit in it.

Tong Yi walked over, squatted halfway in front of Tong Zhuzhu, and said in a deep voice, "Come up, I'll carry you on my back."

Tong Zhuzhu looked at the half-squatting second brother in front of her, and thought it was funny, her body probably crushed him.

"Second brother, no need, I'm afraid I'll crush you," she said deliberately.

Tong Yi looked at the mischievous little girl, and snorted awkwardly: "Who would want to carry you, damn girl, I wouldn't bother with you if I wasn't afraid that you would walk so slowly and delay your time." After speaking, he strode away.

Eldest brother Tong Xin looked at the two and shook his head with a smile, the two have been like this since childhood.

After walking for an hour, they finally arrived at the town. The three of them found a place in the farmer's market to put down their things. Tong Zhuzhu saw that there were rural people selling eggs and ducks, and some were selling live chickens and ducks. , Some of them are also selling vegetables grown at home like them.

After standing under the sun for an hour, no one cared about their stall, Tong Zhuzhu couldn't help feeling anxious when she saw the people coming and going but no one bought their things.

He stood on the side of the road and began to greet: "Passing uncles and aunts, come and have a look, cheap and fresh wild vegetables."

Passers-by stopped one after another, probably because they were surprised that there was a girl shouting such a hawker.

Tong Zhuzhu looked at it, and quickly took out the wild onion and bracken. The uncles and aunts said, "This is a wild vegetable I dug from the mountain. It is fresh and nutritious. It only costs a penny. If you buy it, it will be delicious."

One of the fat aunts looked closer curiously and said, "Girl, isn't this the cat's mushroom! It tastes so bitter that no one eats it in our place, and isn't this a weed?"

"Good aunt, you are right, these are those two things, but I have a way to make it less bitter, so I guarantee you will still want to eat it." Tong Zhuzhu enthusiastically sold it to the aunt.

The aunt felt strange: "Then tell me, how come it doesn't taste bitter?" The people around were also curiously gathered around to watch the fun.

It was a good opportunity to sell, and Tong Zhuzhu amplified her voice: "This cat mushroom, I call it bracken, you taste bitter because it was not handled properly."

Then she pulled out a bracken and pointed to the hair on it and said: "When you wash, you must clean the hair on it, and the leaves that haven't grown on it. Clean it up and cut it into sections. Boil it in boiling water for a while and pick it up, it will have almost no bitterness, it will taste better if you add some meat and fry it. Besides, don’t cook the wild onion directly, stir it with eggs and it will be very fragrant, you can use it as a seasoning use."

After Tong Zhuzhu finished speaking, the aunt probably felt embarrassed to refuse, so she bought a handful of bracken and wild onions and left.

Others also rushed away. There were many people watching the excitement, but no one bought it.

Tong Zhuzhu lowered her head and thought for a while, then asked her two older brothers to follow her with their pockets on their backs.

Although Tong Xin and Tong Yi looked puzzled, they followed along.

Tong Zhuzhu came to "Delicious Restaurant" according to the appearance she remembered. This is the largest restaurant in Minle Town. She went straight in and looked around. The first floor is the hall, and the second floor is the private seat. The whole decoration is low-key and grand. Immediately a waiter came to greet her: "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?"

Tong Xin and Tong Yi never came in, so they were tightly restrained.

Tong Zhuzhu said: "I don't eat. I'll find your shopkeeper. I have business with him. Please let me know."

People often bring some wild game to the restaurant to sell, he has long been used to it, so he helped her to call the shopkeeper.

Zhou Datou followed Xiaoer to Tong Zhuzhu and asked, "What business do you want to do with me?"
Tong Xin quickly put down the back pocket, Tong Zhuzhu took off the leaves on it, and said: "Shopkeeper, I want to sell these things to you, do you know if you will accept them?"
Zhou Datou recognized bracken and wild onion with a glance, and shook his head: "We don't accept this here, no one eats this"?
Tong Zhuzhu had already guessed that he would say that, and she had already had a countermeasure in mind, and said while looking at the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, don't rush to refuse. These two are good things. You lend me the kitchen and give each other a chance. There is no absolute. If I make something that is not delicious, I will pay you for the materials. If it is delicious, Let's talk business again," he said.

Zhou Datou looked at the person in front of him. He wore clean coarse clothes, and his eyes were extremely bright. Although he was obese, his waist was straight, and he was talking to himself here. He was not shy and timid like ordinary peasant daughters. He wanted to let her try it and he would not suffer any disadvantages, so he took her to the kitchen.

Tong Zhuzhu went in and took a look at the kitchen. As expected of a restaurant owner, the materials were well prepared, including meat and vegetables, and even so many seasonings.

She skillfully soaked the bracken in water to eliminate the bitterness, took a piece of pork belly and cut it into thin slices for later use, put a little hot oil in the pan, put a little sugar to fry the sugar color, put the pork belly and stir fry the oil, and added an appropriate amount of cooking wine to remove the fishy smell taste, then put the prepared green onion, ginger, garlic and pepper, stir-fry the fragrance, add bracken, stir-fry evenly, put it out of the pan and sprinkle with a little wild green onion, you can see the red braised bracken Get up very hungry.

Mince the wild onions and stir them together with the eggs, put in the hot oil, pour the mixed eggs into the pan, fry on both sides, cut into diamond-shaped pieces, and arrange them in the shape of flowers on the plate, delicate and beautiful .
