The light green elm money was put into the basket, the branches and leaves and the elm money with insect eyes were carefully picked out, rinsed with well water and drained. A pot of elm coins is green and glowing with water, as smooth and gratifying as a pot of jade-colored chess pieces.
Lin Ranran grabbed a handful of cornmeal and sprinkled it on the yuqian, it fluttered like a snowfall, then weighed the basin so that the yuqian was evenly coated with flour, and put it in the pot to steam. Yuqian is very tender, and it will turn yellow when steamed for a long time. After the water was boiled, it was taken out immediately. The elm money was still in the same light green color, and the color did not change at all.
"It smells so good, sister, give me a bite." Xiao Jing lay on tiptoe on the stove to watch.
Lin Ranran laughed and said, "Is this fragrant? It hasn't been seasoned yet. Xiaoqiu, go to the yard to pick a handful of shallots and two stalks of coriander."
"Hey!" Xiaoqiu briskly ran to the yard, where onions, coriander, water celery, wild mint and wild fennel were planted beside the cleared vegetable plot, all of which were wild spices that Lin Ranran dug from the field.
Xiaoqiu picked a handful of fresh shallots, picked a few coriander leaves, washed them in well water, and took them back to the kitchen to Lin Ranran.
Lin Ranran has already mashed the garlic, chopped the shallots, cut the coriander into sections, sprinkled it on the Yuqian rice, poured a few drops of sesame oil and old pickle soup, and the hot Yuqian rice immediately burst into a tempting aroma.
Both Xiaoqiu and Xiaojing couldn't wait, and the voices of Tie Dan and Tie Niu came from the door: "Sister Ranran, I'll send you some money!"
Lin Ranran hurriedly greeted them to come in, only to see that the iron egg and the iron cow were covered with black and gray faces, like a little tabby cat, and the clothes on their bodies were also stained with dust and yellow, and many leaves were stained. The two of them worked together to carry a basket, which was full of elm money.
"Did you climb the tree?" Lin Ranran knew it at a glance, took off the leaves from the iron bull's head, and said angrily, "How many times have I told you not to climb the tree or go into the water, but you just don't listen."
"Hey, just this one time. How can I pick elm coins if I don't climb trees? Just now Lin Zhifeng and the others tried to snatch me if they couldn't pick them up. I beat them up!" Tie Dan puffed out his chest.
Lin Ranran wondered: "Lin Zhifeng and the others also picked elm coins?"
"They still pick wild vegetables. A few days ago, they fought with Aunt Jinhua in order to grab the wild vegetables by the small river ditch at the west end of the village." Tie Dan is young but knows everything.
But now his mind is not on gossip, but sniffling and smelling the fragrance of yuqian rice, the stomachs of Tie Dan and Tie Niu suddenly remembered, dare not look at the yuqian rice on the stove, but hurriedly said: "Sister Ranran, half of the money will be shared with you, we have to go home!"
Lin Ranran laughed and said: "Come on, you guys, go and wash your face and hands, Yuqian rice won't taste good if it's cold!"
Lin Ranran didn't know that the two of them must have climbed a tree and got dirty and dared not go home, so they wanted to hide here. It was not the first time for the two children to eat at Lin Ranran's house. They rushed to wash their hands, and each of them shared a bowl of yuqian rice with Xiaoqiu and Xiaojing, and they ate happily.
A meal needs a lot of people to enjoy it, which is especially true for children. The two brothers, Iron Egg and Iron Niu, are as their name suggests, strong and resistant to beatings, and have a good appetite. Xiaoqiu and Xiaojing's appetite improved after following them, and he could eat an extra bowl of rice every time.
This yuqian rice has the unique fragrance of yuqian, and it is especially delicious when mixed with pickled vegetable soup and sesame oil. Unfortunately, the little yuqian just now disappeared after one bowl per person. At this time, everyone is still unsatisfied.
When Hongxia's sister-in-law came to find her, she saw her two brats rolling their sleeves, working with Xiaoqiu and Xiaojing around a basket of elm money. Xiaoqiu and Xiaojing were clean, white and tender, and the two jackets she had just put on were dirty, like monkeys, you pushed me and I threw you, and suddenly laughed angrily.
Sister-in-law Hongxia walked in and said, "I said why I didn't see anyone at dinner time, and got into trouble to hide from you, but sister is here, right?"
"Mom" Tie Niu Tiedan felt guilty when he saw his mother, and shouted flatteringly.
Xiaoqiu Xiaojing also said obediently: "Sister Hongxia."
"Hey, good boy, how about helping your sister with work?" Sister-in-law Hongxia said with a smile.
Tiedan curled his lips secretly, why his mother treats the two brothers like class enemies, but is so gentle to Xiaoqiu and Xiaojing.
Lin Ranran heard the sound and came out, carrying a small bench, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, look at how well-behaved Tie Dan Tie Niu is today, and got so much money."
"What! Are you climbing trees again?!" Aunt Hongxia's voice rose eight degrees.
Iron Egg Iron Bull: ""
After a lot of flirting, Hongxia's sister-in-law sat on the small bench angrily, and together with Lin Ranran picked up the elm money. She commented: "The elm money is big and dense, it must belong to the old elm tree at the entrance of the village."
Iron egg iron cow butt egg is hot, sit downIt was locked from the outside. Hongxia's sister-in-law just came out, carrying a big basket and a big bag of soybeans.
Seeing that Lin Ranran was carrying a basket and didn't prepare any beans, Mrs. Hongxia said, "Why didn't you carry beans?"
"It's too heavy. Don't you have beans in your village?" Lin Ranran had an idea, "I'll just exchange the soap with them, and the money will be paid. Sister-in-law, please introduce me to some acquaintances."
"Then what else to introduce, my natal family has a lot of beans!" Sister-in-law Hongxia slapped her thigh.
After the two made up their minds, Hongxia's sister-in-law also sent Douzi home. He said again: "Tie Dan and the others are awake, Xiaoqiu and Xiaojing go in and look for them, let's have wheat porridge today."
But Xiao Jinglai refused to go to Lin Ranran. Yesterday, when he heard that Lin Ranran was going to Bashang Village with Hongxia's sister-in-law to exchange beans, he made a fuss about going with her and flirted all night. He lost his parents at a young age, and stayed in this village with Lin Ranran for a year and never went out again.
Lin Ranran couldn't stand him acting like a baby, so she agreed. If you bring Xiaojing, you have to bring Xiaoqiu. In this way, you will have two more little tails. Lin Ranran was really worried that Xiao Jing would make a fuss halfway and couldn't move, and she couldn't hold her if she wanted someone to hug her. No, Xiaojing won't do this, it's that fat guy Gu Yuanyuan who knows how to do this
Sister-in-law Hongxia likes Xiaoqiu and Xiaojing the most, and of course she doesn't object, so she simply brings her two troublesome sons with her, and she can take care of Xiaojing on the way.
In this way, Tie Dan Tie Niu was also taken to play at grandma's house by Kai En, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Everyone set off in a mighty way. At this time, the sky was not completely bright yet, and there were no people on the road.
Walking out of the village, the roadside was full of wild flowers, Hongxia's sister-in-law chatted and laughed with Lin Ranran: "Tell me, we used to go there as two people, but now there are six of us!"
Just after turning a corner, I saw two people waiting under the pagoda tree at the fork in the road.
Lin Ranran smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I have to bring another one."
Sister-in-law Hongxia: "What?"
Lin Ranran was already waving at that person: "Thank you third brother, thank you Fei!" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
