My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 9 Cold vegetable porridge

Su Ze looked at the reminder, history has increased?
It turns out that history can still be so rich in experience?
Increasing knowledge can increase the experience value of "History", so wouldn't it be easy to reach Lv5?

Thinking of this, Su Ze thought of the Changningwei genealogy hidden in the crevice of the beach cliff!

That's right, then studying Changningwei's genealogy by myself, will it also increase the experience value of history?
Su Ze narrowed his eyes, thinking about when he would go to the beach to get the family tree back.

Ninth Aunt talked about the morning class for a while, and when she saw Lin Cainiang, the little radish head, who was already wandering away, she sighed secretly.

There are really few young people in the guard. Although Lin Cainiang is a diligent child, she has no talent.

Compared with Su Ze, a foreigner, he is the best candidate for temple blessing.

Ninth Auntie sighed again, Su Ze's background was unknown, and she was the seed of a scholar, so it was definitely impossible for her to be willing to do temple blessings in this small family temple.

Only my old bones will work harder to bring Lin Cainiang out quickly.

Ninth Aunt said: "I'm here for morning class today, I made porridge with cold vegetables, let's go to drink porridge."

Hearing the cold vegetable porridge, Lin Cainiang's drowsy little face immediately revived, she quickly stood up from the futon, and looked at the kitchen with dripping eyes.

Su Ze helped Ninth Aunt, and Little Luobotou came to his senses. He also supported Ninth Aunt, and walked to the kitchen in the back room together.

Originally, the family temple did not have a separate canteen. Since Su Ze and Little Luootou came, Aunt Nine instructed Su Ze to move out a worn-out bed board and put it on the edge of the kitchen, which became a place for the three of them to eat.

The fragrance of the rice mixed with the aroma of the vegetable leaves came out of the big pot in the back kitchen, and Lin Cainiang's saliva was about to flow down.

Ninth Aunt pampered the little radish's upside-down braid, lifted the lid of the pot, and the hot aroma filled the entire kitchen.

It's still February, and even in southern Fujian, the weather is a bit cold. There isn't much rice in this pot of porridge, and there are a few turquoise leaves floating around.

Ninth Auntie served porridge for the three of them. The little radish head was growing up and was already hungry, so she couldn't wait to drink the boiling hot porridge.

Su Ze looked at the few grains of rice and vegetable leaves floating in the porridge. The life of the ancient people was too bitter.

When I just drank this cold vegetable porridge a few days ago, Su Ze still felt that there was a bit of rural charm.

But after drinking this porridge every day, Su Ze felt like throwing up when he saw the vegetable leaves, and his stomach growled with hunger before noon every day.

But the family temple only eats two meals a day. One meal is after morning class, and the other meal is before the sun sets. Su Ze has to clean the family temple every day hungry. Also have to endure to drink.

Seeing the little radish head gobbling it up, Su Ze knew that Lin Cainiang might not be able to drink this cold dish porridge before she was accepted as a disciple by Ninth Aunt.

Su Ze picked up the bowl, and the porridge cooked with cold vegetables was extremely thick, as if it had been thickened, and the taste was similar to that of snot.

Su Ze once read ancient recipes in college, and knew that this cold vegetable is winter cold vegetable, also called winter amaranth, which is an ancient vegetable.

In the Book of Songs, "cooking sunflower and bean in July", the sunflower in it refers to this kind of dish.

Because Donghancai is cold-resistant and can grow in winter, it has always been a winter vegetable widely grown by the people before the cruciferous cabbage occupies the dining table.

The cold vegetable will ooze mucus after being cut, and it will be very sticky after cooking with porridge. In ancient times when there was no cooking oil, this kind of porridge was very easy to swallow, and it felt full after eating. Loved by the poor.

Half of the three-acre temple field behind the nine-aunt's family temple is planted with this kind of winter vegetables.

However, this kind of cold vegetable has a faint bitter taste and tastes sticky. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was replaced by cabbage and gradually withdrew from the Chinese table.

Now Su Ze couldn't help being picky eaters, he quickly finished the cold vegetable porridge in the bowl, and then said to Aunt Jiu:
"Auntie, I want to go to the beach, can I find some seafood."

In the past few days, Su Ze has been hiding in the family temple honestly, and gradually Changning Weizhong has less gossip about him.

Baihu came back from the sea, and now the entire Changning Guard is praising the deeds of Baihu stabbing the Dragon King, paying less attention to Su Ze.

Coupled with the prestige of Ninth Aunt in the guard, the residents of the guard finally stopped treating Su Ze as a Japanese pirate.

So Su Ze is going to go to the beach to see if the "catch the sea" skill can catch some shrimps, crabs and shells to improve food, and at the same time look for opportunities to get back the family tree and potatoes and sweet potatoes hidden in the crevices of the cliff.

In addition to the genealogy, the potatoes and sweet potatoes that the seventh uncle gave before crossing are magic weapons here!
After eating cold vegetable porridge several times in a row, Su Ze missed sweet potato porridge and baked potatoes very much!

Although sweet potatoes had been introduced to the southeast during this period, these two crops were grown on a large scale in China by the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

The sweet potato varieties introduced to China today are all original varieties from South America, which require a rather warm environment.

The mid-Ming Dynasty was in the historical Little Ice Age, and the temperature across the country was not high. Even in areas like southern Fujian, it can reach zero degrees in winter.

Therefore, the sweet potatoes that could be ripened several times a year in South America can only be ripened twice or once a year in China. Although the yield is high, the taste is not good. During this period, not many people planted it.

It was not until the middle of the Qing Dynasty, after several generations of cultivation, that the cold-resistant sweet potato varieties were selected, and the taste gradually became delicious. The sweet potato was popularized throughout the country under the vigorous promotion of the Qing court.

Potatoes were introduced to the southeast coast of China during the Wanli period, and now they are only grown in Southeast Asia.

The sweet potatoes and potatoes brought by Su Ze are excellent varieties cultivated by modern agronomy. They are not only resistant to cold and drought, but also have a good taste and large yield. They are much better than the original South American varieties of this era!

Thinking of this, Su Ze couldn't sit still anymore. After eating the porridge with cold vegetables, he said to Aunt Jiu:
"Auntie, I want to go to the beach and see if I can find some seafood."

Ninth Auntie looked at Su Ze. Before the old family went to sea last time, her nephew would go to the beach to catch the sea when he was free, and find some seafood to improve the food.

Now that the nephew has died along with the old Baihu, the image of Su Ze and the image of the nephew have overlapped.

Ninth Aunt's expression darkened, she waved her hand and said:
"It just so happens that no one has come to tell fortunes these days, so go."

Although little luobotou has been eating porridge with cold vegetables these days, Lin Cainiang is also a teenager at heart and can't stand loneliness. Seeing that Su Ze is going to the beach, she looks hopefully at Aunt Jiu and Su Ze.

Ninth Auntie waved her hands and said, "Go, go, the waves are merciless, listen to your elder brother, don't get too close to the sea."
