Chapter 141 The Taste of Autumn

Ye went back to his mother's house the next day, took the fungus and dried mushrooms brought by old man Xu, and took some eggs saved by himself.

Because he was thinking that there was still a lot of work at home, Ye didn't even sit on his buttocks in his mother's house. He just put down his things and agreed to let his mother's brother come to help his autumn harvest on July 28th, so he hurried home.

Before and after the autumn harvest is the busiest time in the countryside. In addition to harvesting grain, they also need to repair vegetable cellars, collect vegetables, dry vegetables, and pickle pickles. Women in every family are busy.

Although the Xu family has not been separated yet, each family's dishes are grown by their own land, so each family collects them and agrees to bring some to the old house, and the rest is their own.

Although Ye is not in good health, he is a diligent person who has opened vegetable land before and after the house, and is still in the forest not far from home. He asked Xu Laosan to open a few small pieces of land and planted some beans, potatoes, pumpkins, melons and so on.

In addition to the vegetables we usually eat, we also grow eggplants, cucumbers, cowpeas, mustard and so on. Of course, the most common are cabbage and radishes, which are the two most important dishes in winter.

In fact, eggplant has a very high rate of return. It can be picked while eating. It can be eaten from summer to autumn. If you can't eat it at home, you should also pick it out before you get old. When cooking, put it in the pot and steam it a little, and then leave it in half, leaving only the eggplant pedicle connected, hanging it on the rope in the shade to dry, put it in the cloth bag and hanging it in the warehouse. Cool and ventilated place, take it out and eat when the mountains are sealed in winter.

After the beginning of autumn, these jobs will slowly start to be busy. The front and back of the house are pulled with hemp ropes, mats are spread on the ground, and there are dustpans and dustpans on the chicken coop.

The rope is set with cowpeas, beans, eggplants, cucumber strips and so on. Horn melons, pumpkins, peppers are hung on the mat, and steamed potato chips are hung in the dustpan and dustpan.

Xu Xinger takes care of herself at home and helps Ye to dry vegetables every day. Thinking about hazel mushrooms, hazelnuts, pine nuts and so on the mountain these days, it's really heartbreaking.

But Ye said nothing and refused to let her go up the mountain. She couldn't even mention it. When asked, she was anxiously, she said, "You go to the mountain and let me know anything at home. Aren't you worried about me?"

As soon as Xu Xinger heard this, she lost her temper and stayed at home obediently to help Ye.

Although there are two little guys at home when it's fun, and there is also a cute steamed bun that sells cute and stupid every day, Xu Xinger is really a dull person. She stays at home every day and feels like she is going to be moldy all over.

So when she saw Shanzi coming that morning, Xu Xinger simply had a feeling of blooming. Her face was full of joy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help rising high and quickly went out and said, "Brother Shanzi, you're here!"

Shanzi received such a warm welcome for the first time. He was stunned and guessed the reason, and this summary felt really good. He asked with a smile, "Why, can't you stay at home?"

"Yes, I think I'm going to grow mushrooms." Xu Xinger said weakly.

Shanzi put down the back basket on his shoulder and said, "Find some work for you to do, choose these five flavors to dry, and dry Ganoderma lucidum. There should be a few days of numbness underneath."

"Did you go up the mountain today?" Xu Xinger was surprised, but she still found a big wooden basin and poured all the things in the basket. First, she picked out Lingzhi and Tianma separately, and then picked out the five flavors and asked, "Are you going up the mountain with your second uncle or are you going to walk around by yourself?"

"The second uncle brought back some medicinal materials and books and helped clean up for two days, and then I went up the mountain by myself." Shanzi sat by the window and poured a cup of tea by himself. As he drank it, he said, "You take out the five flavors to dry and usually make tea. It's not yet time for Tianma. It's best before the winter solstice. I I have taken a look at a few places. When the time comes, I will dig it. Lingzhi will ask my aunt to fry it with water or make soup for you. After drinking it, eat all the ganoderma lucidum to nourish your body.

"What to eat for me?" Xu Xinger's men said, "What a waste. These should be sold for money when they are taken into the city, right?"

"They are all money-free things in the mountains. What can they be worth?" Shanzi said angrily, "In your eyes, everything is more important than your own body, right?"

"That's not what I said, don't worry!" Xu Xinger quickly waved her hand, "Recently, my mother has read it every day, which makes me have a headache. You can do it. Give me a break."

"I think it's safer for me to give things to my aunt." Shanzi looked at Xu Xinger suspiciously, "If I put it here, it may be sold sometime."

"You said you were fat and still gasped, didn't you?" Xu Xinger glanced at Shanzi, rushed to the itchy steamed bun at her feet and pouted, "Baozi, bite him."

The steamed bun really lowered his body, raised his buttocks, and made a whining sound of whining at the mountain.

"Oh, you little thing with no conscience!" Shanzi reached out and grabbed the bun's neck, took it directly to his eyes, reached out and nodded its forehead and said, "Who brought you here? I haven't seen you for a few days, so you forgot me?"

"The steamed bun is the most obedient!" Xu Xinger came over and kissed the steamed bun's forehead, "What a good dog!"

Shanzi's eyes became deep in an instant. Looking at Xu Xinger's lips brushing the fluff on Baozi's forehead, it was actually just a touch away, but in his eyes, it seemed to be an inch slower.

Xu Xinger sat back and continued to choose Wuweizi, but Shanzi held the steamed bun and kept rubbing its forehead with her hand.

The steamed buns twisted left and right and couldn't get rid of the clamping, and they were so anxious that they screamed.

"There are too many adults, and they still bully puppies." Xu Xinger chose the five flavors and took the wooden basin to go out to dry.

When Baozi saw that Xu Xinger was about to leave, he was immediately anxious. He kicked his hind legs hard, jumped out of Shanzi's arms, and ran out after Xu Xinger's footsteps.

Shanzi got up, picked up the empty basket and said, "Take a rest. I'll go back first."

"Are you in such a hurry to leave?" Xu Xinger spread Wuweizi on the wooden board in the backyard and came back and asked, "Why don't you go back after dinner?"

"No, my family is also busy with the autumn harvest these days, a lot of work!" Shanzi carried the basket on his back and told him, "You have to insist on eating Ganoderma lucidum or something. Don't fish for three days and dry the net for two days. That's a good thing to raise people. I'll get it for you when you don're gone."

"Don't worry, just for your heart, I will definitely eat raw." Xu Xinger smiled at the mountain and patted his face with a half-dry cold water veil in her hand. "Wipe your sweat before going out. Don't be so anxious on the road and walk in a cool place."

Shanzi stared at Xu Xinger's pale pink lips and forced herself to withdraw her eyes for a while. She turned around and said, "Suns, go back quickly."

After a short time after sending off the mountain, Ye came back against the sun. He entered the door and shouted that it was so hot. He poured a bowl of herbal tea and drank it all.

"Mom, why did you come back against the sun?" Xu Xinger quickly twisted the veil to wipe her face. When she wiped all her sweat, she took the fan and slowly fand her.

Ye drank another bowl of herbal tea, and finally calmed down and said, "There is still so much work at home. How can you stay for a while? When you are busy after the autumn harvest, you will have no work to do, and then you can go back."

In the next few days, Xu Xinger helped Ye to pickle cucumbers, mustard, beans, and celery roots, and turned over the vegetables, making two arms sore.

While busy, it will soon be July 27th, and the autumn harvest will officially begin the next day. Ye planned to cut some meat and make delicious food in the evening. Unexpectedly, Xu Laosan and Xu Xinger have been asking for a lighter meal. They said that they felt that the meat they had eaten before had not been digested well, and now they could not eat meat dishes at all.

Ye took a few fresh mustard pimples, finely cut them into shreds, stir-fry them slowly in a hot pot, add some salt and put them out, put them in a container with a covered bowl, cover the seams with a wet cloth, try to make them breathable inside and outside, and put them in a cupboard.

Send the peach to buy a small tenderloin and chop it into minced meat.

The beans at home are half dry. Chop them with chili and a little minced meat, and stir-fry them out on a plate fragrant and spicy, which is very good for rice.

The rest of the minced meat, added green onion, ginger and salt, stirred it in one direction, pulled out a radish into shredded, and a large pot of steaming radish strips and steamed meatballs. As soon as you lift the lid of the pot, the fragrant and hot taste permeated the stove. The steamed bun stretched out its tongue, and the saliva dripped all over the ground.

The buns and eggplant potatoes were steamed in a pot. The yellow buns, the purple eggplants, and the tender yellow new potatoes were steamed and bloomed, and they were picked out one by one.

The garlic is crushed in the stone mortar, scraped into the bowl with the paste and juice, add a little cold water to stimulate the spicy taste, and then pour soy sauce and add two drops of sesame oil, which makes people want to eat a few bites quickly.

"Clean up the table and have dinner!" Ye gave a greeting in the kitchen.

Taoer quickly set up the bowls and chopsticks, sat down obediently, and waited for Xu Xinger to bring the dishes to the table.

The shredded mustard has been stuffy for a day, and it still has a crisp taste, but it has a special spicy taste. Unlike the taste of chili, it can't help but feel so comfortable that the pores all over the body have opened.

This is what the whole family loves to eat. Xu Lao took a big bite, and his eyes turned red or he couldn't put down his chopsticks.

Xu Xinger walked according to her ability, but she was accidentally choked. She rushed straight to her forehead along her mouth and nose. In an instant, she felt that her nose was very smooth, and even her brain was much clearer, as if she had eaten mustard before.

Peach was greedy and didn't dare to eat it. She was choked and simply ate it one by one like a chicken pecking rice. I don't know what it can taste.

The tender eggplant is torn into strips, and the noodles are broken open and dipped in garlic sauce. This kind of eggplant retains the taste of the food itself and has a salty and fresh taste in a slightly sweet taste. It is completely unmatched. This is probably the last time to eat fresh eggplant this year. The whole family eats a round stomach and holds the soup. Reluctant to let it be.
