There were gradually fewer people in the market. Cheng Guoer closed up the stalls and counted that she had made nearly four dollars today. Sheng Shi said happily: "Sister, I have never seen so much money. Let's eat something good." Let’s eat!”
Sheng Guoer shook his head and said, "No, let's buy some oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and seasonings, and some millet. The remaining money should be saved."
Sheng Shi nodded and had no choice but to stare at the delicious food with his lips pursed. Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "It's okay. Sister will let you get tired of eating these things in the future."
Sheng Shi nodded and said, "Sister said it can be done, and it must be done!"
At this moment, Sheng Shi discovered that his sister still had a bag of mushrooms that she had not sold. He asked doubtfully: "Sister, why do you still have a bag of fruits?"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "This is for Grandma Wang. We can't just eat and sit for nothing."
Before leaving, fruit farmer Uncle Zhang gave Guoer some plums and said with a smile: "Miss Guoer, we will come here next time to set up a stall together."
Guoer said with a bright smile: "Okay!"
Looking at this little girl who looked like a lark, Uncle Zhang stroked his beard and showed a loving smile.
On the way back, while sharing plums with Grandma Wang, Sheng Guoer took the initiative to ask about Hong Yuanwai. Mr. Hong had several concubines outside his house. He was wealthy but a little unkind. However, his wife, Mrs. Xie, was very prestigious in the area and had a good reputation. Grandma Wang rambled on about some gossip, and Sheng Guoer smiled as she scolded the concubine of the Hong family for wasting food, scolding the aunt for being at odds with her, and got a lot of "intelligence" from it.
The third aunt of the Hong family especially likes to eat nuts. She will buy some good nuts to try. Sheng Guoer became interested after hearing this.
After arriving at the village, Sheng Guo'er gave the bag of mushroom girls to Grandma Wang. Grandma Wang was pleasantly surprised and praised Guo'er for being sensible. This good mushroom girl is also a good fruit that can only be found but not found. After Grandma Wang accepted the mushroom girl Returned Sheng Guoer three sweet potatoes.
After returning home, Mrs. Shen looked at the money and condiments such as oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and said happily: "I bought so much oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and condiments. I also bought millet! Guo'er, you really impress my mother now." Got it!"
Cheng Guoer smiled and said, "Mom, I didn't buy anything. I will buy more in the future."
At this time, Xiaotao rubbed her eyes and said softly: "Mom, I'm hungry."
Sheng Guoer stopped her mother and said, "Mom, I'm cooking today, please take a break."
But Mrs. Shen stopped Sheng Guoer and said, "You've been tired for a long day, motherfucker!"
After saying that, Mrs. Shen went to the stove next to the house, and then said to Sheng Shi: "Erlang, come here, help my mother collect firewood."
There was still some purslane left from yesterday, as well as wild garlic and wild pepper. This time there was more oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, as well as sweet potatoes. Shen immediately became energetic and decided to make roasted sweet potatoes and garlic purslane.
Mrs. Shen rolled up her sleeves and washed the sweet potatoes first, then burned the dry firewood into charcoal. Then she concentrated the charcoal and added some more firewood. After the firewood burned to a crisp, she placed the sweet potatoes on top, and then He asked Cheng Shi to bring some stones and pile them up around the sweet potatoes.
After about a quarter of an hour, Shen called out "Okay" and asked Sheng Shi to remove the stone, and the fragrance of sweet potatoes wafted out.
Sheng Guoer, who was standing aside and watching the ancient method of making roasted sweet potatoes, sincerely admired the wisdom of the ancients.
At this time, she realized that Sheng Shi was about to eat secretly, so she slapped his little hand that was reaching for the roasted sweet potatoes and said, "Let's eat the dishes together later!"
Looking at the appearance of the two siblings, Mrs. Shen smiled, washed the purslane in cool water, then added water to the pot and brought it to a boil. While the steam was steaming, she spread the purslane evenly into the hot water. .
The purslane rolled up and down in the hot soup, like a playful little dragon. When the time was almost up, Shen took out the purslane and soaked it in cold water, then took it out to drain it and put it on a plate for later use.
Over there, Sheng Guoer said, "Mom, let's mix it and eat it! I'll make some sauteed seeds!" Ms. Shen said, "It's usually fried, can't you just add some salt and eat it?"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "Mom, let me show you my new way of eating. You go ahead and heat the oil."
Mrs. Shen handed the purslane to Sheng Guoer with some doubts.
I saw Sheng Guoer deftly crush the wild garlic with his little hands, chop it into minced garlic, then chop the wild pepper into small rings, put the pepper rings on the purslane, then pour vinegar and salt, and put some new Bought sesame oil, pepper and aniseed.
Then Shen heated oil in the pot and when there was a slight smoke in the pot, Sheng Guoer asked Shen to pour minced garlic into the pot and stir-fry. A strange aroma hit her nostrils. Shen hurriedly asked Guoer to stay away from the stove for fear of her Splashed with oil.
Then Sheng Guoer asked Shen to pour the garlic oil on the purslane while it was hot. The high temperature stimulated a fragrant aroma that hit her nostrils.
Not long after, roasted sweet potatoes and garlic purslane were served on the table.
Guo'er, Xiao Tao and Shengshi were all raving about the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes, not to mention the purslane, which was full of oily aroma mixed with spicy and refreshing taste. Xiao Tao praised her mother's craftsmanship for opening a restaurant.
Mrs. Shen smiled and said: "Your sister is still capable. She can earn so much money and buy so many seasonings. She can also think of this new way to eat it."
Sheng Guoer said playfully: "No matter how good the seasoning is, it's not as good as Mom's cooking. Xiao Tao is right, Mom, let's open a breakfast stall. You're really good at mixing wild vegetables!"
Shen said with a hint of annoyance: "Jing Hui has a smooth tongue. Isn't that what you taught me?" But her face was filled with a smile.
The family had a pleasant dinner talking and laughing.
After cleaning up, Mrs. Shen called Shengshi to weed the fields. Sheng Guoer remembered that Grandma Wang had said that the third aunt of the Hong family loved nuts, and she also remembered that she had promised to give the eldest wife of the Hong family, Xie, a taste of jam, so He took his sister's hand and said, "Shall we go up the mountain to look for pine cones tomorrow?"
Xiaotao clapped her hands happily.
