Chapter Eighteen; Wild Vegetables(1/2)
Twenty-eight, steamed jujube flowers.
It sounds weird, but it is actually steamed jujube buns.
The dates have been bought.
Next, it’s like steaming buns, just steam the dates.
Today, Wang Zhen did not help.
Because tomorrow is twenty-nine, you need to make dumplings and leave them until you are thirty to eat.
He hasn't eaten shepherd's purse dumplings for many years and is a little greedy. He is ready to go to the fields on the roadside to take a look and dig some shepherd's purse back.
A shovel, a basket.
After getting ready, Wang Zhen immediately took Wang Liang to set off.
In the winter in the north, everything is depressed.
However, there are always some special existences in the ground or at the edge of the ditch, that is, wild vegetables.
There are two common ones.
One type is called sapling leaves, similar to radish seedlings, with slightly thorns on it. When eaten, if it is not water, it will be slightly bitter.
One type is called shepherd's purse, which grows a bit like a dandelion, but its leaves are narrower.
In the early years.
When there was not enough food in the village, these two things helped a lot.
However, the living conditions are better now.
But fewer people eat.
Only Wang Zhen can’t forget the taste of scrambled shepherd’s purse with eggs and dumplings.
Coming to pass by.
Wang Zhenxian took Wang Liang to search by the ditch.
There are, but not many, and it is difficult to dig in pieces.
So the two of them came to a deserted field next to them.
The deserted fields.
There are many things in Luojiawan, and they are left behind by those who are unwilling to farm.
Because of no planting anything, it has become a paradise for all kinds of weeds.
Yellow pole, water wormwood, mother-in-law, shepherd's purse, and mother-in-law's leaves are everywhere.
More importantly, they are still crowded.
Once you find one, you can find a bunch of them.
"Brother, just dig here, so many."
When he arrived at the deserted fields, Wang Zhen quickly found the target and began to call Wang Liang to come and dig.
"Okay, come here right now."
Hearing Wang Zhen's call, Wang Liang immediately ran over and joined the ranks of digging shepherd's purse.
"You mother-in-law, too, go back tonight and stir-fry it."
Wang Zhen said reminded.
"Okay! Then dig more."
Wang Liang had no objection at all and tried hard to dig it up.
This situation.
Even if the cold wind whistles, the two of them don't feel cold.
While chatting and digging, an hour or two passed without realizing it.
At this time, the frame they brought over was filled with shepherd's purse and sauna leaves.
When Wang Zhen saw that it was almost noon, he immediately took Wang Liang to walk towards the house.
"Wang Zhen, Wang Liang, where are you going?"
Passing by the door of Rockson's house, her mother was pinching wood to prepare for cooking, and subconsciously asked.
"Dig some wild vegetables and prepare to make dumplings tomorrow."
Wang Zhen responded with a smile.
"Shepherd's purse? This is a good thing. Will you still go there in the afternoon?"
"If you still go, remember to call Roxon and ask him to dig some back."
Hearing Wang Zhen’s answer, Luo Kesong asked the fuck.
"We won't go anymore. We have already dug enough. We are going to dig some lotus vegetables in the afternoon. We don't have time to go."
When Wang Zhen heard this, he smiled and refused.
They didn't buy lotus vegetables this year, but they were counting on the little lotus vegetables in their homes.
It just so happened that it was fine in the afternoon and I would have to eat in a few days.
He was going to take his brother to dig out some and put it there for later.
"Well, too, are you digging there? Tell me, I'll go down and take Kerson to see."
When he heard that Wang Zhen was not going to go in the afternoon, Kesong's mother considered it and asked.
"It's just a wasteland on the roadside, there are so many, so let's go back first."
Wang Zhen finished the answer with a smile and led Wang Liang home.
At this time, Wang Ma was preparing to cook.
When Wang Zhen saw it, he immediately took out the mother-in-law's ginger and asked her to stir-fry it at noon.
noon.
Wang Ma fryed a few dishes, steamed a basket of steamed buns, and cooked porridge.
The dish is a plate of fried chicken nuggets, a plate of fried eggs, a plate of fried mother leaves, and a plate of fried shredded potatoes.
"I haven't eaten the mother-in-law leaves for a long time, and it still tastes the same!"
Grandma Wang sighed after picking up chopsticks of mother-in-law leaves.
In their era, they came here to eat wild vegetables.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's a bit bitter!"
Wang Ma nodded in agreement, picked up another chopstick, and ate with relish.
"It's too bitter!"
Wang Liang took a bite and said with a frown.
"It's not bitter, I think it's delicious."
Hearing his brother's words, Wang Zhen said with a smile.
He likes this wild vegetable very much, it is purely natural and pollution-free, has no fertilizers, no pesticides, and is healthy.
When he was working in the city, he couldn't even eat this thing.
After lunch.
After taking a little rest and having some tea, Wang Dad took Wang Zhen and Wang Liang to the lotus vegetable pond on the side of the road.
They all have tools in their hands.
In addition to one person and one shovel, there is also a piece of bamboo.
The shovel is responsible for digging the dredging, and the bamboo slices are responsible for cleaning the mud on the lotus root.
Going down to the lotus pond.
Because the water had dried up long ago, the silt in the lotus pond had become hard, leaving only dry lotus vegetable stems, piled up in the pond in a mess.
Dig lotus roots.
Dad Wang is professional.
Because he once worked in the lotus cabbage pond in the village.
but.
If the fertility underwater was exhausted, the lotus lotus vegetable ponds in the village would have been gone.
Of course, there is no need to do anything like digging lotus roots.
However, the technology is still there.
