Chapter 6 Going to the Town

She looked at the two shiny dishes in front of her eyes, and remembered the large pot of wild vegetable soup last night, which was obviously not enough for the whole family to eat. She glanced at the large pot of wild vegetables in the corner, Tong Zhuzhu took it out and washed it clean , Ready to make another pot of wild vegetable soup.

The wild vegetables in the pot are the mustard greens that can be found everywhere in the countryside in spring. When she was a child, her favorite food was mustard dumplings made by her grandma. Grandma told her that "mustard greens are the king of wild vegetables in spring. They are not only delicious but also nutritious."

Put the mustard greens in the pot into boiling water and pass through the water once, then put in the lard and drain the water directly. After the oil soup is boiled, put the blanched mustard greens in and cook for 2 minutes, add salt and then put in the pot.

When Tong Zhuzhu finished her work and the sky was already dark, she asked Lin Lan to go to the field for dinner.

She fetched water and washed her face and hands. This body is too fat. After two hours of cooking in the stove, she was sweating profusely, tired and hot.

This is the first time that Tong Zhuzhu, who has passed through, sees her own appearance in the water. The skin is still a bit dark.

She only looked at it once, and then she stopped looking at it. She only decided in her heart that she would start to lose weight tomorrow. Losing weight is the most urgent thing to do. No, as for the skin, I learned a lot of skin care knowledge when I was a gourmet anchor, so I can take care of it in the future.

Just after washing their faces, Tong Dahai and the others came back. After washing their hands, they could smell the strong fragrance of vegetables as soon as they entered the door.

Everyone was very happy, and the second brother Tong Yi boasted with a smile: "Sister-in-law, today's food is good, it's really delicious", and he took a deep breath after speaking.

Mrs. Wang looked at the dishes on the table. Although it smelled very fragrant, but looking at the oily ones, she didn't know how much oil was put in. There was also that big bowl of eggs, which were specially for her obedient daughter. Feeling the pain in my heart so badly, I couldn't smile anymore, and looked at Lin Lan with a gloomy face, and was about to yell.

Seeing that her mother's expression was not right, Tong Zhuzhu quickly took Wang's hand and said happily, "Second brother, you made a mistake today. Today's dish is made by your little sister."

When Wang heard this, she hurriedly turned her head to look at her precious daughter, not only her mother looked at her, but everyone in the room stared at her with wide eyes except Lin Lan.

Tong Zhuzhu looked at their wide-eyed eyes: "Puff, I laughed, stop staring, sit down and taste it, and see if it's delicious."

After she finished speaking, she pulled Mrs. Wang to sit down, took a chopstick of egg and wild onion cake and fed it to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang felt the taste in her mouth. The smell of eggs was mixed with the smell of green onions. She had never eaten such a delicious dish. She quickly put another chopstick of braised bracken in her mouth. The mushrooms are not bitter anymore. On the contrary, the taste is very good. The unique fragrance makes people want to eat it even after eating it. It goes well with rice.

Everyone moved their chopsticks when they saw Mrs. Wang.I saw that everyone's mouths were moving quickly, the two little guys especially loved egg and wild onion pancakes, and they were about to grab them.

Everyone ate this meal with greasiness in their mouths. They ate two more bowls of rice than usual, and they all spread out on the stool with their stomachs in their arms.

Tong Dahai asked her while stroking her stomach: "Zhuzhu, you never cooked before. Where did you learn the skill? It's so delicious. I didn't know that cat mushrooms are so delicious. And What's in that egg, why is it so fragrant?" After finishing speaking, he still seemed to be unsatisfied.

Tong Zhuzhu had already thought up her rhetoric, if she blindly acted according to the character of the original owner, then she would not dare to show anything, and she would not have the chance to use all her abilities, so what would be the use, why not find a reason to be fair Use it.

"Father, mother, uncle, elder brother and second brother, elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, it may be hard for you to believe what I say next, but this is why I know how to cook now. On the day Liu Zi'an retired and I jumped into the river, when I was unconscious, I feel that my soul has gone to another place like a fairyland. There is an old man with white beard and white hair. Don’t be so irritable and lazy, otherwise I will forget all the things he taught me. After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and I felt like I was floating far, far away. I woke up immediately, and there were a lot of things in my mind, which made my brain hurt, so mother, I woke up that day and I was in a daze. All the dishes I made today were taught by the old man in the dream. "

After Tong Zhuzhu finished speaking, she stopped talking and observed everyone's expressions.

I saw Wang and Tong Dahai weeping with joy, the eldest brother and the second brother also looked happy, and the younger uncle was expressionless, but his eyes were full of shock.

The two sister-in-laws clasped their palms together in prayer.

Tong Zhuzhu let go of the big stone in her heart. She knew that the ancients believed in the theory of ghosts and gods. After they believed in this theory, it would be more convenient for them to do things by themselves.

"It's fine for our own family members to know what Zhuer said today, and no one is allowed to go out and talk nonsense. Our Zhuer is a person who survives a catastrophe and will have a future blessing. That old fairy is here to give her blessings." Wang proudly talking.

Tong Dahai also quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, your little sister is a lucky person, all of you should treat your little sister well."

The two elder brothers agreed, and even dragged their wives to explain.

Tong Zhuzhu saw that the matter was almost explained, so she was going to discuss with them about her plan to make money.

"Father, mother, elder brother, second brother, I want to ask you, do people in the Maoer mushroom village not like to eat it? And no one eats that wild onion that was just put in an egg?"

Tong Dahai thought for a while and said, "Only the very poor will eat that cat's mushroom in order not to starve to death, because it is very bitter, and people with better conditions would rather dig wild vegetables to eat than eat that.

As for the wild onion you mentioned, people in the village use it to feed pigs. It’s not easy to dig, and it’s rare to deal with the small roots. Moreover, they are all boiled, but they are not as fragrant as you made them. Why do you ask this?”
"Then let's take these two to the town and sell them. Do you think they can be sold?"

"Take it to sell in the town. I guess no one will buy it. Everyone knows that cat's mushrooms are not tasty, and they are everywhere, so it's probably not easy to sell," Tong Yi, the second brother, replied to her.

"Not necessarily. Although everyone in the town knows each other, they don't eat it just because they don't know how to deal with the bitterness. We can tell them how to deal with the wild onions," Tong Dajiang's voice came from the corner.

Tong Zhuzhu looked at her uncle in surprise, but Tong Dajiang still turned her head in disgust, not wanting to look at Tong Zhuzhu, but she didn't expect that the uncle who hated her the most would support her.

That's right, I thought so too. Anyway, she couldn't think of any way to make money in a short time. She just wanted to use bracken and wild onions to understand the situation first, and whether she could improve the living conditions at home first.

In the end, Mrs. Wang made a decision and did what Tong Zhuzhu said. Her daughter is good at whatever she does. Anyway, there are all kinds of things in the mountains, so there is no loss if you can't sell them.

The next day Tong Zhuzhu got up early in the morning to run laps around the yard, and she stopped after ten laps, which was already the limit of her body.
