Chapter 17 17. Shepherd's Purse Dumplings
The spring rain fell harder at night.
The patter of rain quickly moistened the soil in the silent night. The cold water vapor filled with strands of white mist in the mountain forests, ponds and fields, making the green color more intense and making the The young leaves stretched out more and more...
When it dawned, the rain stopped, but the weather was still gloomy.
Song Sancheng brought some firewood from outside, stuffed it in to make the stove burn brighter, and clapped his hands: "What are you eating this morning?"
After a busy few days, I only had some free time last night and today. Wulan had a good sleep recently. The air smelled fresh and refreshing, and he was in a very beautiful mood.
“Let’s eat dumplings. The shepherd’s purse served last night was so fresh.”
The green shepherd’s purse is chopped and mixed with the slightly grainy minced meat. The soft dough is Wrap it up and mix it with vinegar...
Fresh.
The fresh tongue will swallow it.
Song Sancheng finished two large bowls by himself.
Qiao Qiao even ate a bowl of Xiao San, and then drank half a bowl of dumpling soup: "Mom, it's delicious!"
"A half-grown man, a poor man" is really not a saying It’s a lie. I just made it last night. Wulan was still thinking about freezing it in the refrigerator and having it for breakfast later. But he didn’t expect that everyone’s appetite had increased during this period, and they were all gone in one meal.
Except Song Tan.
Freshness is freshness, there are indeed impurities. Song Tan ate a bowl with this mixed taste, as if he had eaten a bowl of fragrant rice mixed with sand.
Every time she ate, she vowed that she would grow her rations.
Wulan saw that she was still thin, and was wondering at this moment: "Are you hungry because you are working outside? You work hard every day, why do you still have such a small appetite?"
Song Tan thought to herself: It’s not that her stomach is broken, it’s just that she’s being naughty.
But if she had to pick and choose when eating wild vegetables, her mother would probably roll her eyes and scold her: "You are just good and used to eating too much."
So she changed the subject: "Did yesterday's wild vegetables taste good? They will definitely taste better after the rain!"
Are wild vegetables delicious?
Why doesn’t it taste delicious?
Blank a handful of green malan heads with red stems and chop them into minced meat.
Then break up a duck egg, add some cooking wine, salt and MSG, and fry it into shredded eggs in a pot with a slotted spoon.
Immediately stir-fry the chopped green onion and ginger, then pour in the minced meat, malan head and duck eggs...
Crunchy, fragrant, moist and refreshing, how could it not be delicious?
Blan the remaining watercress, add salt and MSG and mix well.
Put the Sichuan peppercorns in oil and slowly fry until fragrant. Then mix soy sauce, ginger and garlic juice, sugar, MSG, Sichuan peppercorn oil, chopped chili peppers, and chopped green onion. Add in the blanched watercress. Young Duan'er, mixed like this...
Suck!
Crisp, tender, spicy and fragrant.
Served with wild onion and crucian carp soup and scrambled eggs, the family of four thoroughly ate yesterday's basket of wild vegetables.
Then when I’m full, I chop the shepherd’s purse and make dumplings.
Now that I think about it, I feel greedy.
Yesterday’s wild vegetables were so delicious. Today’s wild vegetables should be even more delicious after being stimulated by spiritual energy, right?
Song Tan was thinking about his first business: "Mom, how much do you think I will sell a pound for tomorrow morning?"
Even though it’s the beginning of March, the green vegetables haven’t actually grown yet, so this is the time when they are no longer harvesting.
The lettuce is bitter, the black and white cabbage is old, and the yellow cabbage is even less sweet. If you go to the supermarket, no matter what kind of greenhouse vegetable you get, it will start at ten or eight yuan.
Manager Wu Lan is very knowledgeable, but he has zero experience in selling wild vegetables. He thought for a while: "How about ten yuan a pound for you."
No reason, just a picture. A good reckoning.
The price is really not expensive in today's vegetable market, but it is a wild vegetable after all. Wulan knows in her heart that everyone in the city loves to eat it, but her childhood experience still makes her subconsciously not care.
Therefore, it is extremely unconfident to say this ten yuan.
Song Tan thought for a while, ten yuan would be fine. If you don't eat wild vegetables, even if you look at a large handful, they will become a small ball when boiled in water. She believes that the quality nourished by spiritual energy is definitely good, but for the first time doing business, everyone has to taste it before talking about the future.
"Okay, just ten yuan!"
Song Sancheng discussed: "The shepherd's purse this year is really good, why not make some dumplings and freeze them? ! Otherwise, I’ll start ordering the strains in two days, and then I’ll eat them in a hurry.”
After two days of preparation, it was time to order the bacteria. Song Sancheng and Song Tan discussed that this work did not need to be done very quickly, so they might as well invite some old men and ladies to do it.
“They are older, so their movements may not necessarily be slow. Don’t dislike it, Tantan, if they are slow... There are only so many families left in our village now. They are older, and they sit there in a daze every day. I'm dozing off, and it looks desolate."
"Just call me over and don't ask for money, just do it slowly. When you're done, we'll buy some meat and help carry it back. If anything happens, we'll help. We'll do the work. Your grandma will help watch it... Do you think it's okay?"
Okay.
Why not?
Song Tan agreed wholeheartedly.
First of all, there is no rush for the fungus and white fungus to sprout... The net around her has not been closed yet!
Again, they are all from the village, who can we work with? Her grandparents have become increasingly depressed in recent years. It is better to have something to do than to be in a daze.
It's just...
Song Tan looked at his small yard with motorcycles and flower beds: "Our yard is a bit small."
To order the bacteria, you need to press the bacteria into the small holes that have been drilled in advance on the trunk of the chestnut tree. The tree trunks are a bit long and heavy, so they can be piled up in the yard, but it's always inconvenient to walk around.
Song Sancheng thought for a while: "I will tell your father later that I will put it in his yard, which is spacious. Your grandma will be responsible for cooking, and your mother will help... The elderly in the village are only eight or nine. I don’t have much to eat, so let’s just bring the rice, noodles and vegetables.”
The family of four smoothed things over (Qiao Qiao hummed in response) and felt that everything was arranged in place. Song Tan saw it. It was almost nine o'clock, so I quickly called Qiao Qiao:
"Let's go, bring a big basket and dig shepherd's purses!"
By the way, let's take a look at how many wild vegetables were spawned by yesterday's spiritual energy.
Qiao Qiao was shocked as she climbed up the hillside again.
He opened his mouth: "(⊙o⊙)Wow!"
"Sister, it's so green!"
Isn't it so green?
Wild onions grow wildly in clumps, as thick as layers of hair, occupying the edge of the entire mountain forest slope.
The Malan heads that had just finished a plate yesterday are now vying to poke out their green heads, with green and red stems crowded together, for fear that they will not be able to hold down a plate.
Shepherd's purse...not to mention shepherd's purse, growing densely in the cracks, the leaves are so tender that they seem to be watering.
You can smell the strong fragrance of the grass even before it is picked.
It forms a strong contrast with the branches and branches of the nearby forest that have just sprouted green leaves.
Song Tan was actually mentally prepared and very confident. But at this moment, I was still in a daze, relying on Qiao Qiao to dig out a basket of fresh shepherd's purses and go back.
On the way back, I walked around the pond and took a look.
Very good.
Dense watercress and purslane occupy the territory one by one, growing like crazy on hormones, and the ground and water surface can no longer be seen by the pond!
She suppressed her inner joy——
These dishes nowadays are too flattering to Reiki!
Not available today!
Green vegetables in early spring are indeed very expensive, and they are even more expensive during the New Year.
For the recipe, please refer to "New Special Dishes of the Mountains"
When it comes to meal time, I feel particularly good writing this, and my mouth is watering.
In fact, most wild vegetables have a strong herb flavor and should not be too bland, otherwise they will not taste good.
Of course, it mainly depends on the craftsmanship...
We will officially sell vegetables tomorrow!
