Chapter 17 17. Shepherd’s Purse Dumplings
The spring rain fell harder at night.
The sound of rain was pattering, quickly moistening the soil in the silent night. The cold water vapor filled the mountain forest ponds and fields with strands of white mist, making the green color more intense and the young leaves stretching...
When daybreak, the rain stopped, but the weather was still gloomy.
Song Sancheng brought some firewood from outside and stuffed it in to make the stove burn brighter. He clapped his hands and said, "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 we served last night was so fresh.”
Green shepherd's purse is chopped, mixed with slightly grainy minced meat, wrapped in soft dough, and mixed with vinegar...
Fresh.
The fresh tongue will swallow it.
Song Sancheng drank two large bowls by himself.
Qiaoqiao even ate three bowls of Xiao San, and then drank half a bowl of dumpling soup: “Mom, it’s delicious!”
"A half-grown boy, a poor man" is really not 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 would increase during this period. It was destroyed.
Except Song Tan.
Fresh is fresh, 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.
Seeing that she was still thin, Ulan was also wondering at this moment: "Are you hungry because of 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 bad, 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 used to eating too much of the good ones."
So she changed the subject: "Were the wild vegetables delicious yesterday? They will definitely taste better after the rain!"
Are wild vegetables delicious?
Why isn’t that delicious?
The handful of green malan heads with red stems were boiled and chopped into pieces, and then chopped into minced meat.
Then crack a duck egg and beat it up, add some cooking wine, salt and MSG, and fry it into shredded eggs in a pot with a slotted spoon.
Follow up stir-fry the chopped green onion and ginger, then pour in the minced meat, malan head and duck eggs...
It’s crispy, fragrant, moist and refreshing, how can it not be delicious?
Blan the remaining watercress, add salt and MSG and mix well.
Then put the Sichuan peppercorns in oil and slowly fry until fragrant, then add soy sauce, **** and garlic juice, sugar, MSG, Sichuan peppercorn oil, crushed chili peppers, and chopped green onion. Add the blanched tender sections of watercress, like this mix…
Suck it!
Crisp, tender, spicy and fragrant.
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 I feel hungry just thinking about it.
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 her first business: "Mom, how much do you think I can sell it for per pound tomorrow morning?"
Although it’s early March, the green vegetables haven’t actually grown yet, so this is the time when the green vegetables are out of harvest.
Lettuce is bitter, black and white cabbage is old, and yellow cabbage is even less sweet. If you go to the supermarket, any greenhouse vegetable will start at ten or eight yuan.
Wulan was very knowledgeable in running the house, but he had no experience selling wild vegetables. He thought for a while: "How about ten yuan a catty for you."
No reason, just to settle accounts.
This price is really not expensive in today's vegetable market, but it is a wild vegetable after all. Ulan knows in her heart that everyone in the city loves to eat it, but her childhood experience still makes her subconsciously not care.
Song Tan thought for a while, ten yuan would be fine. Even 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.
“That’s okay, it’s only ten yuan!”
Song Sancheng discussed: "This year's shepherd's purse is really good. Why don't we make some dumplings and freeze them? Otherwise, I'll start ordering the mushrooms in two days and eat them all when I'm busy."
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 if they are slow, Tantan... There are only so many households left in our village now. They are older. They sit there in a daze and doze off every day. They look desolate. ”
“Why don’t you just call me over and don’t ask for money, just do it slowly. When you’re done, let’s buy some meat to help carry it back. If anything happens, we can help. Your grandparents will help watch while we work... Do you think it’s okay?”
Alright.
Why not?
Song Tan agreed wholeheartedly.
At first, there is no rush for the fungus and white fungus to sprout... The net around her has not been closed yet!
Besides, 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.
only…
Song Tan looked at his small yard, which was filled with motorcycles and flower beds: "Our yard is a bit small."
To spot 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, but they can be piled up in the yard, but it is 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... There are only eight or nine elderly people in the village, and they don't have much to eat. Let’s just bring the rice, noodles and vegetables.”
The family of four had sorted things out (Qiao Qiao was responsible for humming) and felt that everything was arranged in place. Seeing that it was almost nine o'clock, Song Tan quickly greeted Qiao Qiao:
“Let’s go, bring a big basket and dig for shepherd’s purse!”
By the way, let’s take a look at how many wild vegetables were born from yesterday’s aura.
Haunted Qiaoqiao 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 entire edge of the mountain forest slopes.
The Malan heads that were just about enough for a plate yesterday are now vying to poke out their green heads, with green and red stems crowded together, for fear that people will not be able to grab 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.
When I went back, I walked around the pond and took a look.
very good.
Densely packed watercress and purslane occupy the territory piece by piece, growing like crazy on steroids. 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!
No more today!
Vegetables in early spring are indeed very expensive, and during the New Year they are even more expensive.
Recipes refer to "Shanye New Special Dishes"
When I write this during meal time, I feel particularly emotional, 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...
Vegetables will be officially sold tomorrow!
