Crossing the old lady of the farm gate

Chapter 19 Going up the Mountain to Dig Bamboo Shoots

Bai Lan and Chen Yajiao cleaned up the house, and the sun was getting brighter. Going out at this time would definitely cause heat stroke, so the two of them dug out the stone mill to clean it and planned to grind soybean milk.

Bai Lan remembered that the village head's house seemed to have brine, "Qiaohe, take a straw hat to the village head's house to borrow some brine, and we'll make tofu at night."

"Hey, I'll go right now."

Chen Yajiao said dissatisfied: "At this time, you asked a little girl to run out to borrow brine."

"I can't help it. Once the soy milk is boiled, it will be brine. Instead of looking for her, I will look for you. If you remember the way, I will definitely look for you."

"It's true, both of you carry their memories, but I don't."

"It doesn't matter if you have memory or not, as long as you are healthy."

"Hurry up, finish this, the two of us have to go to the mountain to dig bamboo shoots, there are many things to be busy every day."

Chen Qiaohe moved quickly, and within a short while borrowed a piece of brine from the village chief's house.

"There's so much you can do."

"That is, I'm not as busy as you. I usually like to study food besides going to work, because sometimes the food I eat outside is not as clean as the one I cook."

Bai Lan and Chen Yajiao cooperated tacitly to grind a pot of soy milk, because the weather was relatively hot, the two of them didn't plan to make more.

When the soy milk was being cooked, the few children who were studying with Chen Yu in the yard smelled the aroma of soy milk, and all of them lost their mind to study.

"Okay, let's learn these words first today, and you all have to memorize them. I'm going to conduct random checks tomorrow. Hurry up and find grandma to drink soy milk."

When the children in the family heard Chen Yu's words, they all ran to the kitchen happily like a bird just released from the cage.

Chen Wenzhi: "Grandma, grandma, what are you doing? It smells so good!"

Chen Wenxiang also said in a childish voice: "Grandma, I want to eat too."

"Okay, don't make noise, sit down in the lobby, and I'll scoop up soy milk for you."

Fearing that their welfare would be deprived, a group of children ran out of the kitchen quickly.

When Bai Lan came to the hall with the soy milk, all the children sat on the chairs in order, staring straight at the door, and Bai Lan's heart was about to melt.

"This soy milk is still a little hot, drink it slowly. I'll save some for you if it's not enough."

Chen Wenjing took a sip slowly, and Bai Lan put a little sugar in it, which was very sweet.

Chen Wenjing handed the soy milk he had taken a sip to Bai Lan: "Grandma, this soy milk is so sweet, grandma will drink it too."

"Wen Jing, you can just drink it yourself. There is still some left in the kitchen. Grandma will go back to the kitchen to drink later."

"Did the parents have something to drink?"

"Leave them all."

"it is good!"

Seeing Chen Wenjing being so sensible, Bai Lan felt very relieved.

"After you finish drinking the soy milk, I will go dig bamboo shoots on the mountain with me in the afternoon. I will prepare delicious food for you in the evening."

"it is good!"

Bai Lan and Chen Yajiao were making tofu in the kitchen, and the sun was not so hot.

Then Bai Lan came to the room, woke up the little radish heads who were taking a nap, each of them took a bag, and prepared to go to the mountain to dig more bamboo shoots and come back.

Chen Yu felt very unbalanced when he looked at Bai Lan, who was busy here and there.

"Why did you go to the mountain to dig so many bamboo shoots?"

"There are quite a lot of bamboo shoots on the mountain. I plan to dig them up and make them into dried or sour bamboo shoots."

"I really envy that you can run around alive and kicking. I don't know how many days I will lie on the bed. I feel like I'm going to be moldy."

"Do you still feel pain all over your body?"

"I feel like I'm hurting even if I move now."

"Okay, I won't tell you. I have to dig bamboo shoots on the mountain, and I have to wash when I come back. There are a lot of things waiting for me? I'm quite envious that you can lie on the bed and do nothing."

"You're a perfect example of being good-looking when you get cheap."

Only Bai Lan's family lived here at the end of the village, and all the former neighbors gradually moved to the middle of the village, so Bai Lan led many children to the mountains, and no one would notice.At most, it was just seen by some people who went hunting in the mountains.For this point, Bai Lan still likes it, and no one will know about any good things her family got on the mountain.

Bai Lan found out that just one night later, the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest grew a lot.

When a group of children saw so many bamboo shoots in the forest, they all ran to dig them happily, and the younger ones were responsible for putting the bamboo shoots they had dug into bags.

There was a group of small laborers, and Bai Lan dug bamboo shoots much faster than yesterday. She took seven or eight bags, and they were all filled in less than half an hour.

"Yajiao, you are here to watch the little ones, I'll take the dug bamboo shoots home first."

"With me watching, you can rest assured that nothing will happen to them."

Bai Lan ran back and forth about ten times before taking all the bamboo shoots back, lamenting in her heart that this is really not a human job, it's too tiring!

Fortunately, the method of making dried bamboo shoots is very simple. Just peel off the outer skin of the dug bamboo shoots, boil them in a pot, dry them and put them away.

She has washed and dried the jars for making sour bamboo shoots before going to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots.

The method of making sour bamboo shoots is also very simple. Boil a pot of boiling water and let it cool down, then cut the freshly dug bamboo shoots into similar sizes, put them in a jar, pour in cooled boiling water, and seal them up.
