In nature, brightly colored plants are often poisonous. This brightly colored corn tree is strange, and in Xie Fei's opinion, it should be kept far away.
But Lin Ranran and Mrs. Hongxia ignored her suggestion, but watched carefully around the corn. Mrs. Hongxia even took the sickle and bent down to scratch the soil at the root of the corn.
I saw a dark brown ball exposed under the soil, covered with roots, a bit like a taro.
"That's right!" Sister-in-law Hongxia said happily.
Lin Ranran was also very excited: "Dig it out!"
The two rolled up their sleeves, dug around the root of the corn, and dug out a pile of soil, finally revealing the whole picture of the root, which was as big as a basketball, shaped like a big water chestnut, and also like a small pumpkin .
Xie Fei was confused, and couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law, sister Ranran, what the hell is this?"
Lin Ranran wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and said with a smile, "Konjac! This is a good thing."
Sister-in-law Hongxia was also very happy, she patted the konjac with a sickle and said, "It's such a big one, it can make a big pot of konjac sticks, pick two handfuls of green vegetables and cook it, and save some food!"
Xie Feiwen said, his eyes lit up when he looked at konjac: "So this is konjac? I have only eaten konjac sticks, but I have never seen its real face. It looks like a taro. But the konjac is also Unappetizing."
Lin Ranran smiled and said, "Why isn't it delicious? Then you didn't do it right. You can eat it when I get home and make some tricks."
"That's a good relationship! We're lucky again." Hongxia's sister-in-law picked a few big leaves, wrapped the konjac and hid it under the basket, and said, "There must be more of this piece, go find it quickly."
"Hey!" The three of them scattered all of a sudden, searching carefully in the grass and bushes.
Not far from this konjac, they found three more konjacs, two small and one big, and the harvest was very good.
Sister-in-law Hongxia marked the two small konjac trees, then grabbed some grass to cover them up, and said: "These two are too small to numb their mouths, save them for digging when they grow up."
With the unexpected harvest of konjac, the three of them went down the mountain ahead of schedule with their baskets on their backs.
Lin Ranran also explained to Xie Fei: "This konjac is rich in starch, which can be made into konjac tofu, which is delicious in hot pot and boiled. There is also the bracken I asked you to dig, which can also be made into fern root powder. It's a pity that I haven't found the fairy tree yet, otherwise I can make fairy tofu."
Xie Fei blinked and said, "Sister Ranran, I forgot to tell you that my brother found the fairy tree you wanted."
"What?!" Lin Ranran staggered and almost slipped down the hillside, excitedly said: "Why didn't you say it earlier! Where are you?"
Looking at the branch with green leaves in his hand, Lin Ranran beamed with joy, as if seeing some treasure: "Where did you find it?"
Xie San said: "On the mountain where I hunt."
"A lot?" Lin Ranran raised her head suddenly, looking at him with bright eyes.
Seeing such eyes, Xie San's face felt faintly hot, he turned his head slightly and said: "About ten or so trees, it's hard to find, I've already marked them."
"Brother Xie, you are so beautiful at what you do!" Lin Ranran wanted to jump up and hug him.
This unreserved compliment successfully made Xie San blush from his neck to the base of his neck. He coughed and said, "Is there anything else I need to do?"
"Can you lead the way and let Mrs. Hongxia and Xiao Fei help pick all the leaves back? I need this." Lin Ranran said.
Xie San said: "The mountain road is difficult, I can pick it up when I'm off work."
"Brother Xie, you are so kind! Then I will wait for your good news!" Lin Ranran smiled happily, then turned and ran into her yard.
Only Xie San was left standing outside the door alone, staring at the door where the slim back disappeared.
Suddenly, a sneaky shadow flashed in his sight. Xie San suddenly turned his head to look, and only saw a few middle-aged and middle-aged boys from the village running around, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
He frowned slightly, staring in that direction.
"Brother Xie San, why are you in a daze?" Lin Ranran interrupted Xie San's trance with a smile.
She went back and forth, holding a small cloth bag in her hand and stuffing it to him: "This is the rice dumpling I made myself, you can take it home and taste it with Grandma Xie. Xie Fei ate it here, you don't have to keep it for her." .¡±
"But" Xie Sancai spoke, but was interrupted by Lin Ranran.
"You and I don't need to be polite anymore, right? It's just a few rice dumplings, just accept it. I need your help to find the fairy tree." Lin Ranran pretended to be angry.
thep; Immediately, a scent filled the kitchen, Hongxia's sister-in-law sniffled and couldn't help swallowing: "Oh, why is it so fragrant?"
Xie Fei also couldn't help but took a deep breath: "The scent of this green chili sauce is so special, much refreshing than chili sauce. I don't like spicy food and the smell makes me hungry!"
Lin Ranran mixed the konjac tofu in the bowl with chopsticks, and said with a smile, "Then why are you still standing there?"
Aunt Hongxia and Xie Fei quickly took a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of seasoned konjac tofu and put it in their mouths, their eyes lit up immediately: "It's delicious!"
The konjac tofu is q bomby, the green pepper sauce is slippery, spicy and salty, and because of the characteristics of konjac tofu itself, it is more refreshing than other cold dishes.
The teeth collided up and down, and the konjac was broken in the mouth, spreading the taste of konjac itself. This konjac tofu does not have the lye-like taste or numbness of the usual konjac tofu, but the unique slightly bitter taste of konjac and a light alkali taste that is just right.
After one piece, I want to eat another piece, and I can't stop eating one piece at all. By the time Hongxia's sister-in-law and Xie Fei came to their senses, they had already eaten half of a bowl of konjac!
Lin Ranran looked at the two of them with a smile, and said, "How is it? Is my green pepper sauce mixed with konjac tofu delicious?"
"Delicious! Sister Ranran, you are really good at cooking!" Xie Fei admired from the bottom of her heart.
Sister-in-law Hongxia smiled and said, "What's going on in your brain, what are you cooking? How did you make that green pepper sauce just now? What condiments did you pick, Xiao Fei?"
Xie Fei said: "Green peppers, parsley and celery, and"
Lin Ranran smiled and said: "Stop, stop, I still have a few ways to do it, and I will hand it over to you later! Now let's get busy and get down to business!"
A thousand glass jars are stacked together, not to mention how dazzling. These bottles have to be washed, ironed, sanitized and dried before being filled with jam, which is no easy task. And in order to keep it secret, it can only be done by the three of them.
Thinking of the days when he packed jam alone in the space, Lin Ranran shivered, and his arm hurt again. But when Hongxia's sister-in-law and Xie Fei looked at so many bottles, there was only light shining in their eyes, without any timidity! With so many bottles, every bottle is worth money!
The three of them transported the bottle into the kitchen together, and then started busy boiling water. These bottles have to be dried after washing and ironing before they can be filled with jam, so that the jam does not easily deteriorate.
While he was busy, there were bursts of crisp knocking sounds outside.
Hongxia's sister-in-law listened carefully, and stood up: "The tofu seller is here!" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
