Chapter 270 270. Minced white fungus
Mufu noodles, as the name suggests, are noodles cooked until soft and mushy, with unique flavor sesame leaves, minced peanuts, chili oil and chopped green onion noodles underneath...< br>
At this moment, there was a big bowl full of sticky food. Everyone who ate it was sweating and felt comfortable all over.
The satisfaction brought by high starch and high calories is unimaginable to those who have never eaten it before! As picky as Song Tan was, he still finished a large bowl today.
To put it bluntly, she has been back for more than two months, and now her picky eating problem has gradually improved.
Of course, compared with the minimum appetite of the other Lao Song family who often start with two large bowls, this appetite is still not worth mentioning, but it is already much improved.
However, dinner was finished, and at 7:30, the newly installed large light bulbs in the yard turned on again, and the aunts from the village came here one after another.
No way, there was quite a lot of white fungus harvested in the afternoon, and I haven’t finished processing it in a while.
Of course, this thing needs to be dried as early as possible. Everyone can’t go to bed so early anyway, so they might as well work two hours of night shift at night to earn some money, and they can pack it up early.
So the yard of grandpa’s house is now full of decorations.
A layer of clean plastic film was spread on the ground, and large baskets of white fungus were poured on it. The aunts moved small benches next to the plastic film and sat in a line. Each of them selected the pile of white fungus in front of them. With a sharp knife, they quickly cut out the dry and hard fungi and sawdust on it, as well as the yellow and old ones. corners.
Everyone is used to farm work. Although they were not very skilled at it at first, after working for about 10 minutes, they got started quickly.
After a while, there were fewer and fewer white fungi on the film, while more and more were piled in the basket in front of them.
After the white fungus is sorted, it needs to be cleaned and sorted, and then it can be spread out one by one on the bamboo curtain to dry.
It was late at night now, and I was afraid of being exposed, so I specially packed it up in the house. At this point, the entire courtyard already felt tense and cramped.
As for the leftover scraps that everyone picked up, the seventh cousin and grandma had many tasks every day, and they didn’t have the energy to carefully pick them right now.
Aunt Lianhua has a busy day but refuses to stop.
Song Tan tried to persuade her to go back several times, but she refused to listen at all. At this time, she simply pushed the paralyzed old lady at home, and then placed a big basin in front of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and everyone was in it. Shredded scraps and leftovers.
The old lady is old and her eyes are a little dizzy, but now there are so many people in the yard, everyone comes and I laugh. She doesn’t feel lonely at all, and her whole mental state is better. More than one crop.
At this moment, Aunt Lianhua and I were slowly sorting through the scraps in the basin in front of us. We put aside the visible scraps, cleaned them a little, and then spread them flat to dry.
Aunt Lianhua was reluctant to eliminate those that she really couldn't watch. When Song Tan was out of the yard alone, she quietly asked if she could take a bowl home.
Logically speaking, this thing can neither be sold for money nor eaten, so it is not worth giving to Aunt Lianhua for free.
But Song Tan was afraid that setting this precedent would easily arouse other people's thoughts, so he decided on a number: "Okay, Aunt Lianhua, please take two kilograms back with you!"
The leftovers are heavy. In fact, they don’t taste very heavy, but the nutrition is still there. Aunt Lianhua has tasted it, and she is very happy now.
She whispered secretly to her mother-in-law, and the two of them reminisced about the taste of the white fungus soup, and their confidence increased. They sat there and picked more carefully.
At around 10 o'clock at night, after everyone had finished their work and collected their wages, Aunt Lianhua pushed her mother-in-law to say goodbye to Song Tan.
She pulled open the plastic bag she was carrying and showed it to Song Tan: "I just showed it to Qiao Qiao. It's two pounds."
Song Tan was a little stunned
Nothing else, it’s because Aunt Lianhua is too honest. There isn’t even a piece of crystal white Tremella in this bag, it’s all those yellowed and hard leftovers. Logically speaking, what everyone has cut off is the root, but there are also a lot of broken ears on the edges! But how...
She reached out and pulled the bag off, then went back to the small warehouse to take a look -
Sure enough!
On the bamboo curtains stacked up on the shelves in the house, apart from some intact Tremella fuciformis of uneven sizes, the top layer was clearly covered with layers of gauze. Those Tremella fuciformis that could not be broken anymore Like a layer of broken snowflakes, all spread out alone to dry.
This made Song Tan feel a little uncomfortable.
It’s true that I increased Aunt Lianhua’s salary, but it’s only 2,500 yuan a month, which is not much.
Although she would not allow her to bring her mother-in-law to dinner in a normal workplace, her mother-in-law did not wait in vain and did everything she could.
Now without saying a word, she took out a plastic bag from the side and directly put a large amount of the shredded white fungus that was drying on the gauze into it.
I estimated it weighed about two or three kilograms, and then handed it to Aunt Lianhua:
"Auntie, it's hard for you to help us at home, and our whole family will remember it. A little white fungus I feel bad that you are still so raw."
"Here, you and grandma have worked hard in your life. I have a lot of white fungus and can stew a bowl of it at home every day to stay healthy. Help us for a long time. ”
She laughed: "I have been running this farm for decades, so it is difficult to find employees like you."
The words were so thoughtful and enthusiastic that Aunt Lianhua felt so uneasy that she couldn't express them. The warmth stirs.
Even the paralyzed mother-in-law felt her heart tremble.
It has been decades. This old woman has been paralyzed for decades. She has always felt that she is a burden to her daughter-in-law. However, she is too timid to die...
Now, what was just a helping hand now can actually help!
She eats food from Song Tan's family every day, and now she looks good and has strength in her hands, but she knows that the food at home is indeed nourishing.
Now I am even more embarrassed: "What are you doing with this good stuff? Keep it and sell it... don't we eat enough at home every day? Just take the leftovers and soak them as water to drink."
This means that the scraps are really too broken. Even the ones on her hands are only as big as a fingernail.
I picked them out bit by bit with scissors, knives and tweezers.
That's all, even the seventh cousin couldn't bear to clean it up when he was making soup, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could sit for two or three hours and sort them all out.
People in ancient times were not so meticulous when picking bird's nests!
They deserve these things.
The solar street lights in the village are still bright at this moment. The road back is flat and stable. The lonely and lonely sound of the wheelchair is particularly clear in this quiet night.
Aunt Lianhua took a deep breath: "Mom, we have to eat and drink every day... I think we still have to work hard. The house will be built tomorrow. I don't want a salary increase. I will connect the house directly. Let’s clean it up too.”
They cherish the blessings and know what is good for the work at the doorstep.
This year I finally couldn’t bear it anymore and decided to install a heater. It's really expensive...it's expensive to install and to use...
