Chapter 18 18. Packing wild vegetables
After lunch, Song Tan took the basket and planned to dig wild vegetables.
The sky is still gloomy, with a temperature of more than ten degrees. It can’t be called warm without the sun. On this day, every household is warming up by the fire at home, and few people go out.
Ulan glanced at the big basket she was carrying, and felt sorry for her daughter's hard work during this time: "You don't have to go so early to dig wild vegetables. Go in the evening to avoid them being stale tomorrow. Not to mention the weather is not good How much, it's very quick to clean up."
Song Tan thought of the dense green beside the pond on the slope, and thought that if he didn't have the energy, he really wouldn't need to be so active.
But now she took Qiaoqiao with her: "It's okay, Mom, you can make dumplings first. I feel that the shepherd's purse today is particularly fresh."
Seeing that her daughter insisted on going, Ulan didn't stop her. She just muttered: "They are all the same shepherd's purse, what's the difference between yesterday and today..."
She was sitting by the stove, planning to choose one of the shepherd's purses she dug in the morning, but as soon as she held it in her hand, she felt something was wrong. ——
“Why does this look so good?”
……
Qiao Qiao is really a good helper. A basket of vegetables is worth an episode of Peppa Pig. Not long after, he came back with a basket full of shepherd's purse.
Green, tender and delicious, no matter how exaggerated it is.
Song Sancheng was helping to pick vegetables, but he was stunned when he took the basket: "Didn't he say yesterday that there wasn't much? It's raining, how can it grow so fast?"
This is a Large baskets, with small shepherd's purse plants, are densely stacked on top of each other. The baskets are piled high and trembling, as if a few will fall down accidentally.
Qiaoqiao didn’t understand this, but was very proud: “There are many, many more——”
He thought to himself: Although my sister is not very good at farming, it doesn't matter, Qiaoqiao can dig vegetables now!
Qiao Qiao raises her!
For a moment, Peppa Pig was so proud that she couldn't care less and went out again with two empty baskets.
At home, Song Sancheng poured out the shepherd's purse and weighed it: "Oh, this must be more than ten kilograms!"
Ulan was also surprised, but said: "I just got it. Rain, this dish is dripping with water and has some mud on it. It probably only weighs ten kilograms.”
That’s quite a lot.
This basket of ten kilograms is sold without capital. Calculating the price of ten yuan per kilogram, it is one hundred yuan.
......
This trip to dig wild vegetables took three hours. When Song Tan came back, it was already past four in the afternoon.
Coincidentally, it started raining again just after I came back.
A family of four can no longer take care of making dumplings, so hurry up and pack the wild vegetables!
The wild vegetables generated by the aura were crispy and full of appetite just by looking at them. Song Tan didn’t believe that no one would support them for ten yuan a pound, so the traitorous nature sprouted:
“Mom , pick it up a little, rinse it with mud, remove all the roots, and bundle it with a few straws, one pound or two, to avoid losing weight tomorrow. "
Ulan has just prepared each one. I picked them cleanly, thinking that this would probably take a long time.
Unexpectedly, Song Tan said this, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Then you can only eat seven or eight taels of this pound, right? Can you still sell it for ten yuan?"
Why not?
Song Tan opened the mobile app and saw that the vegetable delivery company in the local urban area cost 14.8 pounds of lettuce!
"Wild vegetables! Fresh, fresh wild vegetables with a little earth and moisture, ten yuan is considered cheap, okay?"
"You forgot the toona in spring last year, five or six It’s eleven pounds! It’s sold by two.”
That’s true.
Ulan thought for a while: "Okay, I don't have much capital anyway, so just go ahead and sell it. Don't panic if you can't sell it all. I'll blanch it, dry it, and freeze it in the refrigerator. You can still eat it during the New Year."
< br>The four members of the family each have their own division of labor.
Song Sancheng is responsible for cleaning up the mud, Wu Lan is responsible for picking, Song Tan is responsible for weighing, and Qiao Qiao is responsible for tying each pile neatly with long grass. The pile of wild vegetables was not finished until it was completely dark. Weigh again——
Oops!
Malantou, purslane, shepherd's purse, watercress, wild onions, a total of 80 small handfuls, which works out to 100 kilograms!
Song Sancheng immediately changed his mind: "Why don't we rent a car tomorrow? Although 200 yuan round trip is expensive, we will pick you up at the door. Otherwise, where can we take a car with so many dishes?"
The cost suddenly increased.
Song Tan made a quick decision: "Yes!"
"By the way, Dad, I will bring Qiao Qiao with me tomorrow."
Song Sancheng subconsciously objected: "Why are you taking Qiao Qiao? You are going to do business, and he will make trouble..."
However, before he finished speaking, Qiao Qiao protested loudly: "Qiao Qiao is going to sell vegetables! "
"Qiaoqiao, don't make trouble!"
"Qiaoqiao is going out!"
Ulan thought for a while and sighed: "That's okay, take it with you. , he should also be exposed to unfamiliar environments, otherwise he wouldn’t even have anyone to play with in the village.”
Occasionally, I would take him to the city and have to accept other people's scrutiny... Wulan felt sad.
Song Tan pretended not to hear the pain inside.
She had tried it that night when she had spiritual energy. Qiao Qiao...he was not fully developed in the womb. Even if she succeeded in cultivation, there was still nothing she could do.
I can only say to ensure that he stays in good health and gets sick less often. Get some exercise by the way - what happened to the IQ of a six-year-old? Are there too few six-year-old children who are sensible?
So he patted Qiaoqiao happily at this moment: "Good Qiaoqiao! I knew you were the smartest! You must help me well tomorrow."
Qiao Qiao proudly agreed, loudly.
After struggling for a long time, the family finally felt hungry, but their backs ached from picking vegetables. Chef Wu Lan sighed perfunctorily:
" Okay, I haven’t had time to make dumplings in the afternoon, so let’s eat this.”
Just in time, Song Tan also wanted to taste the shepherd’s purse today: “Mom, cook more.”
< br>Ulan originally planned to cook something similar to what she had cooked in the morning. When Song Tan said this, she murmured that it was too much for the whole family, so she still cooked an extra bowl.
However, when the dumplings came out of the pan, everyone's eyes widened as they took the first bite.
Qiao Qiao fluttered and started to kick her legs: "It's delicious! It's delicious, Mom!"
As he spoke, he grinned because he was burned, but even so, he didn't He was willing to spit it out, but still held the bowl firmly:
"The most delicious in the world!"
Song Sancheng even wolfed down half the bowl in one breath, and then let out a satisfied sigh. Sighing: "That's right, why are these dumplings so delicious today?"
Song Tan even cried with joy: After being back for so many days, she finally had a bite of normal food without impurities today. Oh my god, she can show off three bowls!
Only Wulan was eating and thinking——
The fillings for the dumplings this afternoon are the same as usual!
Is it possible that shepherd’s purse became so delicious after a spring rain?
She hurriedly finished eating in two or three bites, then put down the bowl, picked a handful of tied wild vegetables, and then went into the kitchen to clean up again. When she came out with the plate, the dumplings had already been eaten. It's clean.
Only Song Sancheng still looked at her fawningly: "I'm not full either... How about we eat some more?"
Say what you want to hear, next, there will be more.
YTT Taotao’s new book will be on the shelves at the end of the month. Come and support me quickly. If you have enough monthly votes this month, you can vote for her! (It’s mine next month)
Hurry up, can her writing not be good?
