Chapter 64 Planning
After Li Qiao arrived home, he cut off the roots of morel mushrooms with a kitchen knife, buried them in a place facing the sun in his yard, and covered them with a thick layer of straw.
The growth environment should be similar to that of the grass house, right?
Old lady Qin: "Qiao Qiao, what are you messing with? You have to cook quickly, Ah Jin will be back soon."
"Do it right away." Li Qiao washed the mushrooms, cut them into nails, and minced the green onions.
Light a fire to make the sauce.
The old lady Qin couldn't sit still smelling the smell of the sauce, she put down the work in her hand and stepped forward: "This sauce is really fragrant, what is the black thing in it?"
"Mushrooms, I just picked them from the vegetable patch."
"Mushrooms? Don't be poisoned by eating them. Your aunt next door used to pick up mushrooms and go home to make soup. After eating them, she was convulsed and frothed all over her body. Fortunately, a doctor from the city came here to save her." Mr. Qin The wife said solemnly.
Li Qiao smiled lightly: "The ones I picked are absolutely non-toxic, so eat with confidence."
The old lady Qin dispelled her doubts.
Li Qiao is almost done, let's serve it out for tasting.
The meat is soft, the juice is thick and delicious.
"Grandma, you can try it too."
Old lady Qin used her chopsticks to occupy a little bit: "Well, it tastes really good."
"Whatever you make at home, you can smell it from a long distance." Yu Feng entered the house with her hands in her hands, followed by Peng Chunhua.
The two came again after eating.
Li Qiao: "The mushrooms picked in the grass house, add meat and boil to make mushroom sauce, Auntie, do you want to try it?"
"Don't, don't, don't." Yu Feng hurriedly waved his hands: "You should eat by yourself, be careful of poisoning."
Li Qiao smiled without saying a word, she poured out the sauce, washed the pot and added water to slip out the steamed buns.
When steam was rising from the side of the pot, Qin Jin stepped into the yard.
Old Mrs. Qin: "It's really timely to come back, and the general will make a good meal."
Qin Jin's eyes fell on Feng and Peng Chunhua, and his eyes were unfriendly: "What are you two doing here?"
Yu Feng stuttered at him for no reason: "But, it's not to trouble your grandma and your daughter-in-law, Qiao Qiao took us to weave."
Qin Jin: "Huh?" Has no one taught you? teach them?
Old lady Qin: "Stop talking nonsense, let's eat."
Qin Jin withdrew his gaze, washed his hands, lifted the lid of the pot, and poked the steamed buns: "It's cooked."
He immediately found a bamboo basket and took out the steamed buns, and placed stools where Li Qiao and Mrs. Qin were.
Peng Chunhua really wanted to drag Feng Hu over to see his partner.
"What is this? It smells like meat." Qin Jin dug a large spoonful of steamed buns and spread them evenly, took a bite, opened his eyes slightly, and gave a thumbs up: "This is delicious. Take some of this with Mantou, and I won’t be back at noon.”
"It's not good to eat cold this day, so I'd better come back to eat." After the old lady Qin told Qin Jin, she said to Li Qiao again: "Qiao Qiao, come over for dinner."
Li Qiao: "I'll cook some more soup."
"Her aunt, Chunhua, let's eat first, you can do what you want," said Mrs. Qin.
"Hey, you eat, don't worry about us."
…
Li Qiao used the remaining morel mushrooms, added the green vegetables at the door, added egg flowers, and sprinkled a handful of minced green onions to cook a pot of soup.
When the bowl was ready to be served, Qin Jin stepped forward and said, "The temperature of the steamed bun is just right, and it's ready to eat. I'll serve it. The color of this soup is really good, and the mushrooms are so fresh. My wife is capable."
Li Qiao raised the corners of his lips, wiped his hands and sat down at the table, spread the sauce on the steamed buns and started eating.
Yu Feng said: "Are these mushrooms really edible? It rained a while ago, but today I saw bunches of mushrooms coming out from the threshing floor."
Li Qiao almost choked, a string? "still there?"
"Where can I go if I'm not here?"
Li Qiao suddenly put down the steamed buns, stood up, picked up the basket and ran to the threshing ground, afraid that they would be gone later.
After Yu Feng knew it, Li Qiao knew this thing.
It would be a fool not to take advantage of the advantages.
She went home to get the basket.
When Li Qiao got there, he saw several clumps growing gratifyingly.
She immediately started picking.
She jumped up and complained: "You girl, why are your hands so fast? It's too unkind to take them all away. You can pick them if it's not me? I don't know how to save some for me."
Li Qiao said innocently: "You didn't say picking it. Here, if you want it, the folks in the village will give you some to try."
Yu Fenggang was about to reach out his hand.
"Qiao Qiao, hurry back to eat." Qin Jin's voice came.
Yu Feng withdrew her hand in fright, and the second-rate son saw that she had taken Li Qiao's things, so he had to extort her money?
Li Qiao responded: "Right now." She said to Feng: "Auntie, take it." Yu Feng told her that she was willing to give it.
"You picked it yourself, you should hold it yourself."
Li Qiao shrugged, he wanted it sometime, and sometimes he didn't. She looked around again, and when she was sure it was gone, she returned home with the vegetable basket.
Yu Fengbai made a trip, and her intestines were full of regrets. If she had known about it, she would not have told Li Qiao.
Qin Jin stood at the door holding a bowl: "How do you know this kind of thing?"
Li Qiao has already figured out the reason: "It's written in the book, it's called a morel." She whispered in her ear: "The nutritional value is high, and the taste is delicious. The restaurants in the city must be very expensive, at least a catty Dozens of dollars."
In the past, the family often bought this kind of thing stewed chicken soup ribs soup.
A small pack of five or six sticks costs tens of dollars.
Qin Jin thought about it, and immediately made a plan. He often saw this kind of thing after the rain, and went to the city to inquire about it after digging the ditches. If there were really dozens of yuan a catty, he came back and encouraged his brothers to take it.
After reselling it, it was sent.
He sat for a while and left.
After eating, Li Qiao cleaned up the morels, put them in a dustpan to dry, and buried the roots in his yard with soil.
Yu Feng looked at the mushrooms covered with dustpan, feeling so distressed that she couldn't breathe, it should be her fault.
Li Qiao glanced away from the corner of the eye, and smiled at Yu Feng: "Auntie, where will you see this next time, you pick it up and give it to me, so much is at least two catties, I can give you thirty cents." If you can't finish eating, you can give it as a favor .
Xun Dong in the city, I haven't contacted for a while.
Gotta get in touch with him. There was a record in Qin Jin's bureau, and he had to be dragged over for questioning whenever something serious happened.
It doesn't work if you don't have personal connections.
Yu Feng's eyes lit up when he heard about Qian: "Don't lie to me, do you?"
"Coax you, I'm a puppy, a few aunts, where do you want to see it, and I'll give you money if I pick it up."
"It's good to be brave."
"As soon as Qiao Qiao got married, I knew she was a kind girl."
"No, she's good-looking, and she's still a high school student. I said earlier that Ah Jin would be lucky to marry this child."
"..."
Everyone took advantage of Li Qiao, and praised one sentence after another.
Li Qiao grinned.
The old lady Qin was thoughtful: "Qiao Qiao, this kind of thing grows from rotten grass and rotten leaves. It's not good to eat too much, so don't buy it, and it's too expensive for three cents and two catties, and chicken is only two cents a catty .”
"It's not poisonous. If the child wants to eat it, you can eat it. High school students use up their brains after studying, so they need to supplement more." The aunts said.
The old lady Qin kept talking: "It's delicious, but it's not meat. It's better to buy old hen stew soup."
Li Qiao laughed secretly, grandma is really a smart person, so everyone thinks that thirty cents and two catties are worth selling, and they won't think about anything else.
After two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Qiao began to pack his schoolbag and prepare to go to school.
When finishing the weaving, Yu Cuiying inspected the vases woven by the aunts. Yu Cuiying worked very carefully, and all three were qualified.
The other two aunts each qualified one.
Peng Chunhua did a good job and compiled four.
She took out her own money and settled the bill for several people.
Yu Feng tasted the sweetness, and her attitude towards Li Qiao became more enthusiastic, and she rarely boasted: "It's still Qiao Qiao who is promising."
Li Qiao hooked his lips, carrying a sack of handmade vases, walking for a while and resting for a while.
The old lady Qin caught up with her with a pole: "Qiao Qiao, I will carry it to the side of the road with you, and it will be much easier for you to get in the car."
"I can walk slowly."
Old Mrs. Qin: "No way."
Li Qiao couldn't resist, so he and Mrs. Qin each walked towards the road.
After she got into the car, the old lady left.
