There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 464 Find a jujube tree and have a hearty lunch (one more)
To be a wise man?
Zhao Shicheng was secretly surprised when he thought about Li Jiaoniang's words.

This Lady Li actually sees such a long-term perspective.

He nodded and said with a smile, "Ms. Li reminded me, but I forgot that he is not only my nephew, but also a child, he is also a prince, a candidate for the prince!"

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "I also treat him like a child, but I thought, as long as it is not too tiring, let him do it as much as possible. Do more physical work, which not only exercises the body, but also increases the weight of the body." With knowledge, he can still eat two more bowls of rice. Didn’t you see that he gained a lot of weight than before? When I saw him, his face was as thin as a monkey’s, which is incomparable to now. "

Indeed, Zhao Cong is fatter than at the beginning of the year.

Probably because he was too cautious in the palace, Zhao Cong couldn't eat or sleep well, and his cheeks were as thin as a patient after a serious illness.

This is also the reason why Empress Dowager Wei has always disliked Zhao Cong, because she is so skinny.

I am afraid that I will not live long.

But at this moment, Zhao Cong looked like a normal boy.

"Alright, let him exercise more." Zhao Shicheng said with a smile without objecting.

……

Luo Cheng carried the shovel and the gray fur ball into the forest.

The wild beasts could not be beaten, so he had to dig wild vegetables.

There are some bamboos growing scattered on this mountain, why not dig some winter bamboo shoots and bring them back to stir-fry sauerkraut.

If you're lucky, you might even find some wild fruits.

The weather on the mountain is colder than that at the bottom, and the frost in the forest does not melt until the sun rises in the sky.

The ground became wet, and Luo Cheng dug five big winter bamboo shoots without much effort in the bamboo forest.

He threw it into the bamboo basket he was carrying and continued on his way.

The gray furry ball sat on his shoulder, squeaking, "Idiot, there is fruit ahead!"

Luo Cheng couldn't understand, and he still walked his way leisurely, and the direction was opposite.

The gray-haired curly ball became anxious, "Stupid man, stupid man! Jiao Niang is smarter than you, can't you understand what I say?"

Of course Luo Cheng didn't understand, he disliked the noise, and said with a sneer, "If you make any more noise, I'll throw you down the mountain!"

The gray curly ball got angry, grabbed his cloak collar with one paw and tugged, "Hey, idiot, idiot!"

It jumped off Luo Cheng's shoulder and ran towards the fruit tree.

Luo Cheng was just scaring it, but he couldn't bear to lose it.

Seeing it run away, Luo Cheng quickly chased after it and coaxed it, "Little thing, you still run away in a fit of anger after telling you a few words? Come back!"

Seeing Luo Cheng following, the gray curly ball ran even more happily.

One man and one beast, running back and forth in the dense forest.

After running for a while, the gray-haired curly ball stopped running, jumped onto the trunk of a broken tree, and squatted down comfortably.

Luo Cheng ran forward, stood under the tree and stretched out his hand, "Little thing, come here."

He has the lowest status in the family, Jiao Niang is the oldest, Zhao Cong is the second, this little beast is the third, and he is the fourth.

When the three got angry, he coaxed them all.

The gray-haired curly ball bared its teeth, squeaked, "Idiot man!" and jumped forward with a flutter.

Ahead is a cliff.

Luo Cheng's eyes flickered, and he quickly walked to the edge of the cliff to have a look.

He knew that the little thing couldn't die from the fall, but it must be weird to jump down suddenly.

Sure enough, the gray hairy ball jumped onto a tree on the cliff.

The little guy sat on the tree, jumped happily, squeaked, and was very proud.

It was a jujube tree that grew on a cliff.

The tree is two or three feet away from the edge of the cliff.

Under the tree is a deep valley of tens of feet.

Presumably because of this, the fruit of that jujube tree was hung all over the branches and no one picked it, which was cheap for him.

"Not bad, good job, I picked them all." Luo Cheng waved his hand at the gray curly ball.

He took off the back basket, took out five big winter bamboo shoots inside, and took out a spare rope inside, tied the back basket to the rope, and slowly lowered it to the tree.

The other end is tied to a pine tree pole above the cliff.

The gray hairy ball rubbed its paws and began to pick up the dates.

After all, it must be a beast. To it, picking fruit is just play.

Picking and picking started to play, patting the tree pole with paws, shaking off a lot of dates.

Luo Cheng looked distressed and regretful, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't understand the beast even after talking about it!

After thinking about it, he extended the rope of the basket and placed it under the jujube tree. Many of the falling dates fell into the basket.

It wasn't until Zaozi filled most of the basket that Luo Cheng yelled, "Enough is enough, we can go back!"

With so many dates, candied dates are good for half a month's breakfast.

After completing an errand, the gray-haired curly ball happily jumped up the cliff and sat on Luo Cheng's shoulder.

When returning, Luo Cheng also found a few yams.

……

When Li Jiaoniang cleaned up the kitchen and finished kneading the dough, Luo Cheng came back with a basket of food on his back.

"Jiaoniang, see what I brought back?" Luo Cheng smiled, and placed a heavy basket at the door of the kitchen.

Zhao Cong and Zhao Shicheng walked over to see it together.

"A lot of dates! There are also winter bamboo shoots, what are these?" Zhao Shicheng is a child of a family, and he seldom deals with the kitchen, so he doesn't recognize many vegetables and fruits.

Zhao Cong seldom saw it. He grabbed two yams and asked Luo Cheng, "Father, are these roots edible?"

"Yes." Luo Cheng smiled, "Your mother can cook."

"I want to eat this." Zhao Cong handed two yam sticks to Li Jiaoniang excitedly.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "I found some sugar in the kitchen, so I will make a plate of shredded yam and a plate of steamed yam cake."

She took the yam and went to wash and peel it.

Luo Cheng picked out five large winter bamboo shoots and peeled them off.

"I'll wash the dates." Zhao Shicheng also found a job to do.

He found a clean big earthen pot, picked out some reddish dates, poured them into the earthen pot, brought them to the mountain spring on the side of the kitchen, and washed them with spring water.

Next to the kitchen is a stone mountain about several feet high.

There was spring water oozing out from the cracks in the stones. Ximen Fei made a pipe out of bamboo, and made a simple faucet from the water.

No wonder Ximen Feitiao lived in seclusion here, because it is backed by mountains, sheltered from wind and warm, and has spring water.

In addition to the food that Luo Cheng was looking for, in Ximen Fei's kitchen, there were dried radishes, dried pickles, dried fish, some dried mushrooms, some rice, some flour, and a small amount of white sesame seeds.

The seasoning consists of salt and a small amount of sucrose, and oil, and nothing else.

Foodstuffs are seriously lacking.

But Li Jiaoniang is skillful, as long as there is salt and oil, any ingredients will not be difficult for her.

She soaks the shiitake mushrooms until soft, washes them, cuts them into pieces, puts them into rice and cooks them together to make porridge. After they are cooked, she adds a little salt to make shiitake mushroom porridge.

After soaking the dried radish until soft, fry it with two pieces of dried fish.

The pickles and winter bamboo shoots are fried together.

The winter bamboo shoots are bitter and astringent, and it tastes best when fried with meat after blanching, but isn’t there no meat right now?Then fry it with pickles, which can also remove the bitter taste.

The yam is steamed into a puree, crushed and mixed with flour to make a yam cake.

Another yam, cut into small pieces, boiled in a pot, picked up and dried, heated the pot with oil, poured the cooked yam pieces, added sugar water juice to thicken.

Pull out the wire and put it on a plate.

On the other side of the kitchen, there are some small cabbages, but they are all frozen to death and cannot be eaten. Only a few small clumps of green onions are still growing tenaciously.

Li Jiaoniang pulled out a few scallions, washed them and cut them into finely chopped flowers. Together with white sesame seeds, they made green onion and sesame pancakes.

The three men helped together, the one who washed the vegetables, the one who washed the dishes, the one who took charge of the stove, stuffed the firewood, and Li Jiaoniang's lunch was ready in less than half an hour.

Except for two two-inch long dried fish, the others are all vegetarian, but they are also very fragrant.

Especially the sesame pancakes, which are baked until golden on both sides.

Li Jiaoniang made 25 palm-sized pancakes in one go.

Zhao Cong has been busy for a long time and is already hungry.

He stared at a table of food, and asked Li Jiaoniang greedily, "Mom, can I eat?"

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Okay." Then she whispered, "Wait a little longer, let's eat alone. Shhh, don't speak loudly."

Zhao Cong didn't understand, but he still blinked and whispered, "Okay, I'll bear with it for now."

Li Jiaoniang coughed lightly, held a piece of pancake, and shouted out of the kitchen, "Ah, delicious sesame pancake, Brother Luo Cheng, eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold, it won't be crispy when it's cold Yeah."

Luo Cheng understood her evil thoughts in seconds, smiled, and said loudly, "Jiaoniang, you put too much sesame seeds."

Li Jiaoniang said with a smile, "This is sesame and scallion pancakes. Of course, I need to put more sesame seeds. Look at my pancakes. It's not burnt at all. The sesame seeds are all golden. It smells so good, I want to eat, I can eat fifteen flatbreads by myself."

Luo Cheng said, "It's really delicious, I'll eat ten."
