Chapter 148: Continuous lettuce

But now it is just Qingming, the mint has only grown a tender cluster, and plus they just arrived and didn't prepare chicken blood...

Seventh Uncle sighed sadly and decided to put this dish off until summer.

On this side, Zhang Yanping has already picked a large handful of the blooming rape flowers and held them in his arms, then threw them into the basket.

Seventh Uncle glanced down and jumped up instantly:

"Why did you pick the ones that are fully bloomed? Aren't the ones with flower buds more tender?"

Zhang Yanping was dazed for a moment; he doesn't cook, how would he know that rape flowers don't want flowers but flower buds?

But this didn't stop him from being righteous:

"Seventh Uncle," he didn't know what to call him, anyway, just follow Tan Tan: "The bees are collecting honey here, leave the flower buds for them, we'll just eat what they collect, I'm not picky."

Seventh Uncle:...

The chef can't listen to this kind of talk!

"Don't go out and say this, it's not embarrassing enough, what kind of family is this? Eating a rape flower and having to pick what the bees left..."

But thinking of the clear sweetness of the honey water he tasted yesterday, he couldn't help but smack his lips:

"Old woman, did you drink the honey water last night?"

"Drank it." Seventh Aunt answered crisply: "Don't mention it, I slept very sweetly at night, and this morning when I went to the bathroom, it was so smooth."

When you get old, your gastrointestinal function is actually not as good as when you were young, and constipation is a common occurrence.

Just one night back, that feeling of comfort, Seventh Aunt said: she felt comfortable all over.

Hearing this, Seventh Uncle also touched his belly, remembering the wanton cycle of five grains this morning...

Looking at the blooming rape flowers in the basket again, if it's leftovers, it's leftovers, he really didn't dislike them anymore.

Zhang Yanping carried the basket and strolled behind, not walking far, when he saw Seventh Uncle stop at someone's vegetable garden to look at the coriander crawling all over the ground.

He poked his head to look and immediately said excitedly: "Are we eating fish at noon?"

Oh my, the wild crucian carp his aunt's husband caught is especially fragrant and sweet whether stewed in soup or braised, and he never gets tired of eating it.

But he has eaten a lot at home during this time, how many fish did he catch? How come they haven't finished eating?

This thought just flashed, and he saw Seventh Uncle shake his head: "I turned the refrigerator upside down yesterday, there is no crucian carp left, just a bag of salted fish chunks. This coriander grows quite well, when we go back, go to Big Brother's vegetable garden and dig more coriander, I'll roast the remaining bit of beef with coriander and chili."

Zhang Yanping didn't know what was going on, just hearing the name, his saliva flowed out.

Thinking carefully about this taste, he found that he had lived in vain for more than twenty years, it's okay that he hadn't eaten the rape flowers before, but how come he hadn't eaten this roasted beef with coriander?

His belly was full and bloated, but his mouth was overflowing with saliva, this feeling was especially uncomfortable!

The three of them strolled around half a mountain, Seventh Uncle only felt refreshed and physically fit, wanting to show off his cooking skills when seeing anything.

When they were about to walk home, they saw a cluster of newly sprouted wolfberry at the edge of the woods.

So he commanded without politeness:

"Yanping, go pick some of those wolfberry buds."

Then he took out his phone and called Song Tan:

"Song Tan, have you reached the city? Remember to weigh a catty of water chestnuts when you come back! I'll pick some wolfberry buds, and at noon, I'll use eggs and pork hind leg meat to make you a dish of egg silk wolfberry bud balls."

The water chestnuts Seventh Uncle spoke of are the local slang, this thing is scientifically called water chestnut, when he was a child, his family planted rice, and he could always dig up a lot when plowing the fields.

Song Tan also likes to eat them, but this thing is round like a tangyuan, and peeling it is very troublesome. Therefore, when she worked in Ningcheng, she bought a bag of peeled ones from a fruit stall for five yuan to satisfy her craving.

So she agreed.

No need to ask, Zhang Yanping hadn't eaten this dish either.

While carefully picking the wolfberry buds, and having to guard against being pricked by thorns, he became more and more drooling: how to say it?

Suddenly felt like he was the chief of the imperial kitchen.

At the same time, Big Uncle Song Dafang was losing his temper at home:

"If you don't want to cook, say it early, I'll go buy it at the restaurant at the door, won't starve."

"Exactly!" Daughter-in-law Sun Yanyan saw her mother-in-law sitting at the kitchen door peeling lettuce again, and her head grew big:

"Mom, no matter how much lettuce there is, you can't eat it every meal! Ziyi was eaten to tears last night."

Isn't this that when they returned to the countryside two days ago, all the lettuce from those three ridges was brought back?

Originally thought it was as delicious as purple clover, and planned to see if it could be sold at a high price...

Who knew that when stir-fried that night, it was no different from the lettuce in the old hometown, and it seemed no different from the vegetable market.

Mao Li's face turned black at that time:

"This thing dares to sell for twenty a catty? Even a dog wouldn't be fooled!"

Big Uncle's face sank instantly, and he slapped the chopsticks "pop": "Even a dog wouldn't be fooled, why did you two get such a big basket?"

Mao Li:...

She thought to herself, I didn't scold myself, you took the scolding on yourself!

But she only dared to mutter in a low voice: "You didn't stop us when we went to dig."

Look at the dozens of strong lettuces in the kitchen, oh my god! How should their family of five eat this?

Throwing them away is impossible, if sending them... why send them? Why should others take advantage?

So, that day when they returned home, besides a stir-fried lettuce silk that night, the next morning Ziyi's porridge had lettuce cubes in it.

Mao Li's cooking skills are average, and the lettuce wasn't blanched before being put into the porridge, the child pushed the bowl away directly: "Tastes worse than grass."

It was noon, lettuce stewed with ribs, this was okay, the ribs were still quite fragrant.

Everyone ate until they were full.

But when evening came, besides the lettuce stewed with ribs left over from noon, a plate of lettuce stir-fried with meat shreds was added.

Everyone's face was the same as the lettuce, grass green, grass green, and they finished eating with endurance.

Who knew that early this morning, Mao Li spread egg pancakes for Ziyi—children, you know, love beauty, usually they want a slice of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a slice of bacon.

Good or not, anyway, it must be bright and have a sense of ritual.

Today, it wasn't simplified, the lettuce silk was grated finely, blanched, and rolled in.

Adding the meal eaten at noon when returning to the old hometown, this is eating lettuce for several meals.

The child went to kindergarten crying.

After a hard morning, seeing her sitting at the kitchen door watching TV and peeling lettuce again, the whole family couldn't stand it.

Mao Li was also angry: "If it weren't for Tan Tan being treacherous, deliberately making us get this bad-tasting lettuce back, how could there be so many piled up in the kitchen?"

If you don't eat it quickly, can you throw it away? This vegetable market also costs two yuan a catty!

They are all from farming backgrounds, Big Uncle didn't say throw it away, just his face was dark: "Then send it to someone! Send more to Hongmei, send more to neighbors, if not, I'll take it to the shop and share it."

"That won't do."

Mao Li pondered: not a festival, what to send? "

This lettuce grows strong, one root is several catties, two roots are more than ten yuan, not living anymore?" ===== CHAPTER 149 =====
