Chapter 277 Wild vegetables in March, coerced by swallows
(Chapter 276 was reviewed and a new chapter was issued)
March in the capital is quite difficult, usually at this time The vegetables stored in the cellar have long been eaten, and there is basically nothing left of cabbage and radishes.
The new vegetables have not yet come on the market. Not to mention that the vegetables sold in the market have disappeared. Even the vegetable shelves in front of the grain and oil stores can't find a few green leaves.
At this time, it becomes a test of the ability of the family members to see who can find suitable wild vegetables to survive this very difficult period of "lack of harvest".
Zhu Xuefeng has stored some vegetables and started planting vegetables in the vegetable garden again. The little girl at home is still tossing the last few seeds and there is no shortage of fresh vegetables. She has forgotten about this crop.
It is early spring this year, and it seems that plants have awakened a few days earlier. Now is the time when wild vegetables appear. There are still many types of wild vegetables in Beijing, such as plantain, purslane, wild leek, and wild carrot. Wait, as long as it is prepared well, it will have a delicious flavor.
A more popular vegetable is thistle, which is also called "thorn vegetable". It has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. If eaten in March, it can just eliminate the heat accumulated over the winter. It is very popular. A favorite among old Beijing residents.
The wild vegetable dumplings that the two children eat now are filled with thistles. After harvesting, remove the leaves, blanch them in boiling water, chop them with a knife, steam them again, and then make the fillings. Generally speaking, Eat thistle dumplings, but now every household is short of flour. Dumplings are a luxury item for the people. It is delicious enough to have a meal during the Chinese New Year. Most people use stick bread to make dumplings.
“Brother, these wild vegetable dumplings are so delicious, let’s dig some too.”
The second brother quickly finished off the wild vegetable dumplings. The smell of wild vegetable dumplings brought back memories of the past, so he immediately suggested it.
"Okay, okay, big brother, take us to dig wild vegetables tomorrow."
Zhu Xuefeng thought about it for a moment. In this city, there are too many people in the east and we will definitely not be able to dig. Apart from the fact that the courtyard is a traditional cemetery, it's better not to disturb people's dreams. Don't worry about it in the park. It will definitely be overcrowded, and there will definitely be more people than food.
There are many jujube trees, locust trees, and eucalyptus trees in the city. These are also important sources of spring vegetables, but the locust tree has not yet arrived. The best way to enjoy the shade is Sophora japonica, which is found in many courtyards, and No. 95 is no exception)
The elm leaves in spring are the most delicious top-grade wild vegetables. Anyone who sees the elm leaves will pick up a handful and put them on the table. Taste it in your mouth. The newly grown Yu Qian'er tastes sweet, and the more you chew it, the sweeter it becomes.
"Brother, Sister Yuyu is here to call us."
Seeing that the eldest brother started to be in a daze again, the younger sister had to remind him that he is always in a daze when he thinks about things now.
"Oh, let's bring the wild vegetable dumplings over there."
…
Si Zhu has been a lot cleaner during this period. He is probably going to have a blind date. He said soon that it would be arranged in the near future. Judging from the situation, it should be soon.
"Brother Zhuzi, we are going on a blind date, it won't be tomorrow."
Silly Zhu was in a good mood, opened another bottle of Erguotou and poured it for the three of them, he said happily.
"It's nothing, what's the point of a date? We're not from the same place, no more, come on, let's have a drink."
After a glass of wine, a few people became even more curious. , even He Yuyu was surprised. The last time he said he wanted to go on a blind date, he even took away his own mirror. What happened now? He was still happy without going on a blind date.
Si Zhu didn’t explain, and pointed at the wild vegetable dumpling.
“Girl, give me one too. I’m really hungry for this one. I haven’t eaten it for a while. I still remember when I was a kid, Yuyu and I always ate this stuff until we felt like vomiting. Life goes by so fast. , and Yu Yu went to college in a flash. "
He Yu Yu may have thought of those hard days, and fell silent after drinking a glass of wine.
“It tastes good, but it’s still not as good as Yuqianer’s. Yuqianer’s doesn’t have this bitter taste.”
You can also use Yuqianer to make stick noodles, steamed buns, and pancakes, but it doesn’t have this bland taste. The bitter taste.
“Actually, I just like the bitter taste. It’s authentic and has no bitter taste at all. I don’t think it looks like wild vegetable dumplings anymore, but Yu Qian’er’s pasted pancakes are pretty good.”
Zhu Xuefeng interjected that these two kinds of whole grains were the ones he was more accustomed to, and the porridge cooked with whole grains was also good.
Speaking of Yu Qian'er, it seemed to bring back memories of He Yuyu, and he couldn't help but interject.
"Brother, I still remember when I was a kid, you always took me to Prince Gong's Mansion to get money secretly. I don't know if I can still do it now."
Silly Zhu took a sip. "It's probably quite annoying. There are people living in it now. If I try to get in again, they won't let me go in."
The elm tree Qian'er located in the back garden of Prince Gong's Mansion on Qianhai West Street, Shichahai is the most famous. It is an ancient elm tree that has been growing for hundreds of years. The old elm trees here are the sweetest because they are close to the water.
Be particular about adding some pepper oil or sesame oil when making Yu Qian'er's vegetable steamed buns. In fact, when making Yu Qian'er's vegetable steamed buns, use fresh white stick noodles without oil and salt, and only add Yu Qian'er. The taste will be fragrant and sweet. Zhu Xuefeng also used it when he was a child. I've been there before, but I haven't been there in years.
Silly Zhu took another sip and remembered many places.
“But I remember that there are elm trees in the Liguang Bridge area to the west of Shichahai, and then there are the double elm trees outside the city in the north and the elm tree pavilion in the city. Not bad. "
It seems that the two Silly Zhu brothers were really miserable when they were young. They had to go all over the city and outside to find some spring vegetables. This is a sad thing for others, and they can't mention it or comfort it.
“Brother Zhuzi, I don’t think you can count on this money. Millions of people in this city are staring at us. Where can we get our turn? Those who live nearby have already been wiped out. Now the people in the city are so Many, they are all thinking about it.”
Silly Zhu smiled. Yes, there are a lot more people in the city now. I could get some in the past, but now, I can’t find them anymore. I haven’t looked for these things since I became a cook in the factory. It’s no good. , there are still leftovers, those days were just a hardship for my sister, as she didn’t have much to eat when she came back every week.
His eyes couldn't help but become warm, and he looked at He Yuyu with a mean look on his face.
"Sister, if you want to eat, my brother won't sleep, so he will keep watch and get some for you."
He Yuyu smiled. "Don't look at me like that. I have goosebumps all over my body. I don't lack this food now. With my Xuemei sister, whenever I don't have fresh vegetables to eat, I still need you to guard her."
Silly Zhu also smiled, picked up the wine bottle and continued to fill it up.
“Actually, the buds of wild jujube trees are also pretty good. In the past, there were the most wild jujube trees on the city wall, but now they are gone. However, there are still quite a lot of wild jujube trees in Huangtugang, Babaoshan, Laoshan, Shijingshan and Xishan. "
"Yes, yes." He Yuyu said with a smile.
“It’s easy to pick, and the jujube buds are so sweet.” He Yuyu’s face showed a trace of satisfaction and memories, as if he was savoring the sweetness.
In the end, everyone just chatted about loneliness. There is no need to count on it in the city, and it is not worth it to go outside for a while. The key is to grow vegetables on paper. Now there is no shortage of fresh vegetables at home. There is Zou The uncle sent it to satisfy my craving.
“Brother Zhuzi, what happened if you said you didn’t want to go on a blind date anymore?”
Seeing that Zhu Xuefeng brought the topic back, Shazhu was still a little embarrassed and spoke hesitantly.
"Oh, it's just that my family doesn't like it."
He Yuyu felt much more relaxed. She had never been very supportive, but she didn't expect that it really didn't work out.
"Brother, don't worry. I have a few classmates who are pretty good. I'll bring them back to sit around when I find time. You can cook something delicious and see if there is any fate." Silly Zhu smiled and shook his head. .
"Sister, there is no rush in this matter. Brother, I have finally figured it out. This is not a business, so take your time."
Zhu Xuefeng is not careful either. I asked, my family didn’t agree, how did I pull Song’s wife’s string? Didn’t I say it was done last time? How could I change my mind?
The departure time is very close. Everything is normal at the rolling mill. The sports car experiment was successful and all tests went smoothly. Five cars of each of the two displacements have completed all experiments.
The rolling mill is really hard work. How many people gathered around these ten motorcycles to test and experiment day and night. Finally, they were completed ahead of schedule. Today they have returned to the assembly line to replace new batteries and renovate the vehicles.
Zhu Xuefeng no longer needs to follow him. He has dinner at home and then comes to the courtyard. These days, he has to take time to compete with his junior brothers and sisters in the evening. The younger brothers and sisters rarely come over.
"Senior Brother, you are here."
Four junior brothers are competing against each other in the front yard. Gao Bo and Xie Minghui have gone to the No. 3 Courtyard to practice. Little Gao Fu does not live here.
"You guys practice, I'll go in first."
He arrived at the middle courtyard and made some preparations. Zhu Xuefeng also started practicing. The weather was very suitable during this period and no one disturbed him. , some thoughts.
After playing with the knife, I broke out into a small sweat. When I saw the two junior sisters approaching, I put my knife away and rested.
Zhou Xiaoyu and Lin Yilan looked not good, and Zhu Xuefeng was also very surprised. They both told them that the district leader named Bai had already gone in and asked them to contact the school about the internship. Is this not going well?
"Senior brother, I'm disturbing your practice."
"It's okay, let's go to the study for a chat."
It turned out that the two of them were very happy after hearing the news about Zhu Xuefeng , I searched for the school, and the school also searched for the district. Several days passed, and today the school said that the district reported that there are no suitable internship positions now, and they are all full.
There is no way to go. Besides, it is indeed too late to find an internship unit now. I guess the district is not telling lies, so there is no need.
"Brother, you helped get Leader Bai in. Don't deny it. It's such a coincidence that we just told you that something happened to him."
Zhu Xuefeng explained with an innocent face , it really looks like that.
"You two junior sisters, you really guessed wrong and thanked the wrong person. I am not that capable. But I heard that he was caught after committing a crime."
< br>Lin Yilan glanced at Zhou Xiaoyu in confusion. Zhou Xiaoyu was also a little confused. Could it be that she had guessed wrong.
"Senior brother, whether it was your help or not, we both made a note of it. In fact, if we can't be a primary school teacher, it doesn't matter if we can't accompany Xiaodoubao. There is no hope in the first place."
Gao Bin, Lin Zi and Xie Minghui in the front yard also graduated this year. They have all started internships in several elementary schools in Xicheng.
Zhu Xuefeng lowered his head and thought for a while, and decided to comfort him first.
“Don’t be anxious about this. We still have a few months to go. Let’s think of a way. If it doesn’t work, we can find a factory. Then we can help you find a temporary worker. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled. They didn’t expect that the senior brother had the ability in this area. Temporary workers are hard to find now. Industry has given way to agriculture. Factories have long stopped recruiting people on the street. Temporary workers Naturally, the competition is fierce.
With all the hard work I have done in the steel rolling mill, it shouldn’t be difficult to get two temporary worker places. But if it doesn’t work, I can always use the name of a temporary worker in the steel rolling mill and help the steel rolling mill with some things outside. Well, officially there was no hope, and temporary worker Zhu Xuefeng didn’t take it seriously.
"Thank you for your help, senior brother. We all listen to you, hehe."
The two of them changed their confusion and happily went back to the backyard to practice.
It was getting dark gradually, and the exercises in the front yard and back yard also stopped. Only the middle yard was still full of sword energy.
“I’m so impressed with you, why don’t you come down quickly!”
You don’t have to look at it to know that this is Liang Yan secretly hiding on the roof to watch her practice again. Zhu Xuefeng is now in a state of mental power. It can cover about a hundred meters. As long as it is explored, Liang Yan cannot hide at all. Sure enough, as Zhu Xuefeng spoke, a figure floated in the middle courtyard.
"It's boring, you find me every time."
"Tell me, what do you want to sneak over here again today?"
Liang Yan smiled. "I just finished teaching Gao Bo, and I'm bored. I don't want to come and watch you practice, and then..."
"Stop, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore, no way, this will kill everyone. "
It turns out that since the last time the two of them acted as male and female robbers at night, Liang Yan has become interested. Every night when Zhu Xuefeng is practicing, she jumps over the wall secretly.
She asked if she wanted to find a few more corrupt officials to enjoy her life. Zhu Xuefeng regretted that he didn't use his brain more at that time to find her. This was like opening Pandora's box.
"Brother, just promise me. I promise to listen to you in the whole process and never take it blindly again, okay."
Zhu Xuefeng shook his head, what a corrupt official! It was so easy to find. It was just a coincidence last time. I didn't have the time to sneak around with Xiao Hei all over the world every day. Besides, the Jeep was also abandoned in the factory.
Liang Yan was unhappy. She did not dare to break the oath she swore in front of the ancestor's memorial tablet, and kept mumbling her grievances.
"It's the end of March now. Even if you're in prison, you have to have a break. I've been holding it in the small yard for half a year."
"If you don't agree, I will Go alone. "
Liang Yan was a little angry again. The instructions from the master and several uncles were still in her ears. If Zhu Xuefeng didn't agree, of course she wouldn't go, but it was okay to scare Zhu Xuefeng.
This is a time bomb. I have to go on a long journey in less than a week. I really have to appease this swallow. Zhu Xuefeng also has a headache. He should be able to put people into the space and make them faint. Mystery, why didn't I think of it at the time? I had to poke this hornet's nest.
Zhu Xuefeng discussed with Liang Yan with a serious face.
“Junior Sister, I don’t need to say anything about this. You also know that it’s not a trivial matter and you can’t act out of emotion like this, so I will never agree.”
Seeing Liang Yan's eyes disappointed and a little unconvinced, Zhu Xuefeng said with a smile.
"Don't you just want to relax and go out for some activities? Let's see if we can find another way."
