After leaving Xiaoman's house, Xu Errui carried a basket full of cleaned meat.
Most of the meat he and Xiao Man found today is here, except for the meat that was cooked in the pot.
Originally, the leftover meat was shared equally between the two families. Because Jiang Zhi said that eating kudzu root was good for the patients, Xiao Mannai kept it in exchange.
Jiang Zhi had no choice but to give her all the kudzu root and some meat.
I repeatedly told you to have a full stomach, and don’t be reluctant to part with it. There are still a lot of kudzu roots on the mountain.
This sentence is true. Knowing that there is no custom of eating kudzu here, Jiang Zhi believes that kudzu powder alone can feed two families.
When the three of them returned to their homes, Jiang Zhi was stunned again.
When was the house repaired?
When she came back from going out in the morning, she went to Xiaoman's house in Yaxia first, and she didn't have a chance to go home to see it.
Xu Errui was also a little stunned. He put down his backpack, took a torch and ran to the house where he slept and looked up and down: "Qiaoyun, what's going on? When I went out in the morning, the roof was still bare. Who covered it now? Where did the flakes of bark come from?”
The wildfire burned half of the grass roof. I have been busy collecting meat for the past two days and have no time to repair the roof.
I thought I would wait a few days before doing it again, but unexpectedly it had already been repaired.
Qiaoyun didn't hide anything at this time: "It's my uncle who came to repair it. He wants to stop telling you. He doesn't want to hear Xie Laixie go. He also said that my family is busy looking for food these days, so he should do something." .
oh! Mom, your and Er Rui’s two burned jackets have been taken away by your uncle to be dismantled and washed. She said she would take them back after they were done. "
Why! This fool!
The clothes Jiang Zhi and the two wore when fighting the fire had been burned by the fire and were covered in mud and soot. They could not be worn again without re-taking and washing them.
It's just that Jiang Zhi didn't have time at this time, so he asked Qiaoyun to take it apart first, and then clean and mend it when he had time. How could he let Xiao Mannai take it away and help?
Jiang Zhi raised his hand angrily and pretended to knock her on the head: "You idiot, you won't say anything until someone tells you to. I don't even think about how your uncle climbed up the roof at such an old age. Your uncle can't even see it." Clear the thread!”
The thunder was loud and the raindrops were small. Her actions scared Qiaoyun, but she didn't really hit it.
Qiaoyun felt aggrieved: "I don't want my uncle to take it either, but I can't defeat her."
Jiang Zhi was also upset, if he knew that Xiao Manye and the others had done so many things for him during the day.
Regarding Xu Dazhu, at least say a few more words. Even if it is useless, it can make the two old men feel better tonight.
well!
Forget it, this old couple is afraid of becoming a burden to others and being abandoned, so they work hard to show their own value.
Since Mr. Xiao Man is willing to do it, he accepts it calmly. If there are people who can help him in the future, he will help him more.
Now that the burned roof has been repaired, Xu Errui and his wife went back to their room to rest.
Jiang Zhi was not in a hurry to go to sleep. She hung all the meat on the crossbar above the fire pit to smoke it, and then she was busy cleaning the root of the folded ear she had dug, picking it into small pieces and then salting it with some salt.
Just now when she was picking up kudzu root at Xiaoman's house in Yaxia, everyone who saw the root said they didn't recognize it. They didn't eat any of it after it had been eaten cold, and they told them to keep it away because it was smelly.
Jiang Zhi didn't explain much about this reaction. Some people like it and some don't. It's honey to others and arsenic to others.
Since you are not used to eating, you cannot force it. You must deal with it first.
You only need to marinate it for a few hours, pour out the marinating water, and add the seasonings again, and all the fishy smell of the folded ears will be gone.
The rest is a crispy texture and a unique refreshing taste, rather than a fishy smell, which is naturally easy for people to accept.
The first time I took the risk of eating it raw without even salting it, I can only say that I was stupid!
That night, Jiang Zhi tossed and turned again for a while before going to sleep.
The mountain fire on another mountain peak has not been extinguished. The day is gray and the air is always filled with the choking smell of smoke.
Fortunately, she was busy, but when she calmed down, she could hear the distant howling of wild animals in the wildfire, and she still felt horrified.
Think again about those at the foot of the mountain...
well! Jiang Zhi suppressed her thoughts and curled up into the quilt. She wanted to return to her dream, return to her comfortable lazy sofa, listen to the book again, and know what was going on with the protagonist and the outside world.
She did fall asleep, but she had no dreams.
The hard kang and hard quilt made her whole body feel stiff when she slept on it. When she woke up in the morning, her back ached and her bones were rattling.
In the kitchen, Qiaoyun was already cooking, but Xu Errui was nowhere to be seen.
While Qiao Yun was scooping hot water for Jiang Zhi to wash his face, he said, "Er Rui saw that his mother was tired and wanted to sleep a little longer, so he went to the ravine to carry Kudzu back!"
These two children are so sensible!
Jiang Zhi sighed in his heart that although the original person suffered, it was a blessing for his child to be sensible.
While cooking in the morning, Jiang Zhi went to the terraced fields next to him to open up some more fields.
Now she drives a section every day, and gradually she will build a fertile farmland.
After building a stone ridge and digging the ground, Jiang Zhi collected burned mountain fire ash and soil from outside and piled it into the field.
When Xu Errui and Xiaoman came back with a large basket of kudzu, Jiang Zhi also opened a field mouth more than ten meters long.
Now everything is ready, all we need is the spring breeze. As long as the weather is warm and the rain comes, we can plant seeds.
Breakfast is green rice pancake and kimchi again, but today there is an extra dish of cold folded ear root.
Looking at this strange thing, Xiaoman, who was specially left to eat, looked miserable.
Xu Errui also had the same expression as him: "Mom, can you not eat?"
The two of them were curious last night and saw that the roots of the folded ears were white and tender, which looked much more pleasing to the eye than the thin grass roots.
Xiaoman took a bite without hesitation. Unexpectedly, it was neither astringent nor bitter. He just felt a strange taste going straight to his forehead and almost vomited.
Now, Aunt Jiang wants to eat by herself again...
Jiang Zhi urged: "This time it's different, it's delicious, crunchy and crunchy!"
Xiaoman's face was full of rejection. He suddenly felt that he was not hungry yet, so he didn't even need to eat breakfast.
Xu Errui didn't dare to refuse like this.
Under Jiang Zhi's pressure, he reluctantly picked up the thinnest and shortest white root.
I put it in my mouth and chewed it for a while. I wanted to swallow it without tasting it, but as I chewed it, the taste started to come back in my mouth. It was not the weird fishy smell, but the crispy and sweet taste.
"Hey! Why does this taste different? It's delicious! It's delicious!"
Xu Errui quickly took another fat root into his mouth. This time it was more refreshing, and the seasoning included dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, wrapped in salty and spicy numbing.
Soon, Xiao Man was so shocked that his eyes widened as he watched Xu Errui eat with huge gulps, chewing in his mouth making a "cha-cha" sound, just like a cow eating grass...
"Brother Errui! Is it really delicious?" He was a little itchy and a little scared.
Xu Errui's mouth was full of folds and he had no time to speak. He nodded and shook his head while listening to the questions, which confused Xiao Man.
Jiang Zhi chuckled, another one fell into the trap, and he could only eat with his mother in the future.
"Xiaoman, Qiaoyun, you guys should try it too!"
Jiang Zhi turned his target to the two of them, and Zheergen believers need to continue to develop...
In order to get the treasure this time, she took out a few dried chili peppers that she had saved for seeding at home.
There was no rapeseed oil, so we could only use roasted and dried chili peppers and pound them into powder for seasoning, which was enough to make appetizers for these three novices.
Sure enough, this novel taste quickly captured the three young people.
Xiaoman, like Xu Errui, also drank it in one gulp.
Only Qiaoyun tasted it three times before he could taste the deliciousness, and he couldn't stop eating immediately.
