It was related to his wife's health. Shen Guisheng didn't hesitate and responded directly: "Okay! I'll go ask my aunt for you later."

Before speaking, he hesitated for a long time, worried that his eldest aunt would not agree to sell eggplants to him. After all, food is scarce these days. Not only are grains such as white flour and rice lacking, but vegetables are also very rare.

Although vegetables are not expensive, farmers do not have vegetable stamps and cannot spend money to buy vegetables like residents, so they can only grow vegetables by themselves.

Vegetables sown in the spring will not be harvested until June to September. As for the vegetables sown in the autumn, whether you can eat them depends on luck. This is because the winter is too cold and a heavy snowfall will freeze the roots. It is difficult for them to germinate. The seedlings have also become rotten, so most people will not sow seeds in autumn to avoid wasting their work.

In order to make sure that the seeds can grow into vegetables as much as possible, the Shen family, like everyone else in the village, saves the seeds and waits until spring to plant them in the yard.

Shen Guisheng remembered that the last time he ate fresh vegetables grown at home was in October last year. Now looking at a large basket of juicy, smooth and beautiful purple eggplants, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Auntie, I...my wife...doesn't she have that disease? Blood calcium or something..."

At this point, he frowned and tried to remember the name of the disease, "What's the blood... coming from?"

Xiao Lingbao said: "It's hypocalcemia."

"Yes, hypocalcemia, so, so I think, so..."

After listening to her husband's "so" for a long time, but there was no follow-up, Liao Guifen stamped her feet anxiously, finally strode forward, pushed the father of her child aside, and said: "Oh, you are really useless, I have to say it myself. Bar!"

"What's going on?" Shen Su'e asked.

"Auntie, what, what I want to say... I remember Lingbao said that because of my disease, I should eat as many dark vegetables as possible to supplement my calcium. Although, although I was thinking about picking wild vegetables, it is deep in the mountains. There are few colorful wild vegetables..."

After saying that, she also became stumbling, "So, so..."

"Take it." Shen Su'e took out two eggplants and handed them out.

Liao Guifen was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

"Ah what? Don't you want to eat eggplant?"

"Yes, I want to eat it," Liao Guifen explained, "but I don't want to take it for nothing. I want to buy eggplants with you, aunt, because it is quite rare to grow eggplants this season. Unless they are grown by the production team, most people I don’t even have enough to eat, and I’m definitely not willing to sell it, so I was embarrassed to tell you just now…”

Seeing her embarrassment, Shen Su'e smiled and said: "What's there to be embarrassed about? I heard that Tu Gen is in your room today. Please help me take care of Tu Gen. I haven't thanked you yet. This eggplant It’s just a thank you gift.”

Liao Guifen looked touched, "Is this really for me?"

Her eldest aunt nodded, "Take it."

Eggplant is a vegetable with high nutritional value. It supplements iron and calcium. Especially the eggplant grown in Lingbao Space has a particularly high calcium content. For Liao Guifen's disease, it can be regarded as the best dietary therapy besides milk.Xiao Lingbao thought of the tasks assigned to her favorites by the system before, and hurriedly took out two more eggplants from the bamboo basket and handed them to her cousin, "Here are these for you too, please eat more! If my cousin still wants to eat tomorrow Eggplant, go get it from Lingbao."

"Oh, thank you Lingbao," Liao Guifen's eyes were filled with emotion and she said anxiously, "But no need, these two are enough."

"You can't cure the disease by just eating two eggplants. Because your body is deficient in calcium now, you have to eat these eggplants for at least ten days and a half." Lingbao put his little hand on her cousin's hand, "More than that, You need to eat it for at least 20 days!”

"Ah? You want to eat it for two or 20 days?" Liao Guifen was stunned.

The little baby nodded, thinking that it would be very slow to rely on diet therapy to treat an illness. Fortunately, these eggplants were grown in space. If they were ordinary eggplants, it might take two or three months to see the first results.

Thinking of this, she said in a sweet voice: "Cousin, don't worry, eat two sticks a day for 20 days, and your illness will be cured!"

Liao Guifen waved her hand hurriedly, "No, no, this is your eggplant, how can I have the nerve to eat it for 20 days in a row?"

When she said these words, she was very worried, fearing that her eldest aunt would be angry and scold Lingbao for being ignorant. Unexpectedly, her eldest aunt said in an extremely calm voice: "Since Lingbao asked you to eat it for 20 days, then you can eat it." Bar."

At this time, not only Liao Guifen herself, but also her husband and parents-in-law were shocked. Among them, her father-in-law said in shock: "This... Su'e, there are quite a lot of eggplants in this basket, but I guess there are only forty or fifty." , if you let the boss’s wife eat it for 20 days, won’t she eat it all? What will you and Lingbao eat?”

After Uncle Shen finished speaking, Zhao Cuilan nodded vigorously, "That's right! Besides, this eggplant can't be stored for 20 days, right? Although the weather is quite cold now, it can only be stored for six or seven days at most. It will definitely spoil after a long time. of."

"It can be made into dried eggplants!" Lingbao blinked his beautiful big eyes, "It's just like the fungus that is dried outside."

"Drying in the sun? Can eggplants also be dried in the sun?"

When everyone was puzzled, Shen Su'e smiled and said: "Of course you can! But making dried eggplants is different from drying mushrooms. They cannot be dried directly. You must first pickle them with salt to remove the moisture, then gently squeeze the moisture with your hands, and then dry the eggplants. Put it in a steamer, add water to the steamer and bring to a boil, put the steamer on and steam for five to six minutes.

After steaming, put it in the sun to dry for about three days, and the eggplant will become dry. In this way, the eggplant can be preserved for half a year. "

After hearing what her eldest aunt said, Liao Guifen felt like she had learned a lot, "Our family rarely eats eggplants. The vegetables grown in the yard are either Chinese cabbage or beans, peppers, etc. I didn't know that eggplants can also be made into dried eggplants. "

"Since these eggplants can cure your illness, let's keep a few fresh tomorrow and make the rest into dried eggplants." Shen Su'e said.

"No, really no need, aunt, this eggplant belongs to your family, and..." Liao Guifen's expression showed a bit of trouble, "To be honest, if I spend money to buy this big basket of eggplants, I probably won't be able to afford it. Rich……"

Shen Su'e pulled her precious daughter to her side and said, "Lingbao just said he wanted to give you food, so I didn't plan to take your money."

"Lingbao is a good boy, well-behaved, sensible and cute, but... although I can't say that I am thin-skinned, I am not that thick-skinned either. I am really embarrassed that I was allowed to eat so many eggplants for nothing."

"If you feel embarrassed," Shen Su'e thought for a while and said, "I plan to go to the market to sell steamed buns tomorrow. Can you get up early in the morning and help me? I'm afraid I won't be able to do it alone. "
