Wear it quickly! My mad dog-like host!

I found a deserted place to change back into my original clothes, and touched my head. My hair was shaved into a buzz cut, and it won't grow back in half a year. In this case, do you want to buy some more curtain hats?

When I came out of the grocery store, there were a lot of spices in the basket on my back. The money Grandma Sun gave me was basically spent.

There are more types of spices than I thought. Although there are no chili peppers, there are Sichuan peppercorns, dogwood, star anise, cinnamon, and they are very expensive.

Fried escargot seasoning?

I also bought a bottle of wine from the wine shop for fifty cents.

Dajing Country has had good weather these past few years and has no worries about food, so there are quite a few wine shops.

Prices range from a few cents per pound, but the wine is turbid, and the more expensive the price, the clearer the wine. Anyway, Mei Qianghua will not wrong herself.

In addition to these, I did not forget to add some more food to my warehouse as inventory.

After a lap, I didn’t know how many times the backpack at the back had been filled and emptied, but there would be no shortage of food for a long time to come.

He put all the condiments he could put in front of him in his backpack, looked at the sky, and walked out of the town.

After leaving the town, I scanned around and didn't see Zhang and the others, so I found a place to stand under the shade of a tree.

The sun was still strong today, and just when they were about to take shelter in a place with many trees, Zhang and the others came out.

There was uncontrollable joy on their faces, and they all grinned silently.

"Dahua, this way, this way!" Mrs. Zhang glanced around and soon saw Mei Qianghua's figure, and quickly waved her over.

Mei Qianghua walked over with a basket on her back.

"How long have you been waiting?" Zhang asked with a smile.

"It's been a while." Mei Qianghua replied.

"Wait a minute, we'll take the bullock cart back later!" Mrs. Zhang took Mei Qianghua's hand, patted it, and said with a smile.

This big flower is not a girl with bad luck, she is clearly the God of Wealth!

Uh……

Zhang's sudden and explicit kindness made Mei Qianghua unable to adapt, but she also saw that their income today was good.

The weather in Dajing Country is indeed prosperous, but this does not mean that money is easy to make, because the current food is not worth much, so the farmers who rely on the weather do not have much extra money income besides food and clothing.

Therefore, the joy in the hearts of the four people who came into contact with so much money for the first time could not be suppressed.

Today I am still not prepared enough. If I could do more, I might be able to sell it for more money.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the ox cart is coming, get up quickly." When Mrs. Zhang saw the ox cart coming, she quickly pushed Mei Qianghua towards the direction of the cart.

It was a bumpy ride back to the village.

After saying goodbye to Zhang and the others, they went back first.

The patriarch’s business of selling tofu must not be hidden, and there is no need to hide it if he continues to do it. If he wants to sell more tofu, he must ask the villagers to do help. After all, they are all acquaintances, so his family probably has a lot of people now. There are fewer people who come to ask about the situation, but I still don't get involved.

When Mrs. Zhang saw her lips turned white, she said nothing more and just asked her to go back and have a good rest.

When I got back to the house, the first thing I did was to clean the pot of snails and soak them in rice water. I looked at the really plump snails spitting sand. Thinking of the taste in my memory, I shed tears.

These are really wild river snails, and they are not contaminated by various pesticides. They should be more delicious, right?

The last time I ate snails was when I was a kid, and it was really the taste that I remembered, because as I grew up, I was exposed to more negative information about snails, and I never ate them again.

After washing the snails, he briefly washed himself, then lay down on the straw bed, stretched hard, and soon fell asleep with a yawn.

***

Sunlight shines into the room through the papered windows.

Outside came the clear and crisp chirping of birds that is unique to rural areas in the early morning.

Mei Qianghua got up in a daze, sat on the bed and stared at the window in a daze. It took a while before she came back to her senses.

I actually slept until the next day.

After getting dressed and washing up, I ate a bun and carried a bucket of snails to the yard.

The wooden basin is ready, the kitchen knife is also ready, let's start work!

"Sister Dahua, do you really want to make this?" Li Qingshu's surprised voice came from the door.

Mei Qianghua looked up and saw that he was holding a bowl of something, but she couldn't see it while sitting on a small stool high at her ankles.

"What did you bring here?"

"Tofu poutine, Grandma asked me to deliver it." Li Qingshu said in a cheerful voice, "There is sugar in it, it's delicious!"

Mei Qianghua asked with a smile, "It seems you have eaten a lot."

"I also drank soy milk. I was the first to get up! A reward from Grandma!"

"It's awesome!" Mei Qianghua praised, "Just put it on the kitchen table."

"Okay!" Li Qingshu brought the bowl of tofu into the kitchen with brisk steps and came out soon.

"Sister Dahua, do you need my help?"

"No need." Although he was very sensible, he would be worried if he asked an eleven or twelve-year-old child to hold a kitchen knife, even though he knew that children of this age here were different from those in modern times and could do anything.

And it's not like this little guy would do such a thing at home.

"Really?" Li Qingshu was a little disappointed.

"Then just help me take out the snails and put them on the ground somewhere convenient for me, so that I don't have to lift my hands every time."

"Uh-huh!"

A bucket of snails. Because they were big, I didn’t spend too much time on it. I originally thought I wouldn’t be able to make it in time for lunch!

After finishing it, it's time to cook.

"Would you like to eat at my house? We'll have snails for lunch."

Li Qingshu wanted to refuse because Sister Dahua's craftsmanship was not good.

Mei Qianghua seemed to notice his embarrassment, and said with a serious face: "Don't worry, I bought a lot of seasonings, it shouldn't be difficult to taste."

ah? Li Qingshu was stunned. It turns out that Sister Dahua can't guarantee whether the food is delicious or not?

Mei Qianghua wanted to "avenge her previous shame", so she had to keep him.

"I eat alone every day..."

Seeing that she was so "sad", the little guy touched his head and sighed, "Okay, I'll have dinner with Sister Dahua."

Mei Qianghua rubbed the guy's little head and carried the cleaned snails into the kitchen.

Turn on the fire, heat up the pot, and add oil.

Wait, wait, no, no, no, come back!

The first step is to run the snails through boiling water first, then wash them off and remove the foam, so that they will look cleaner.

After cleaning with boiling water, turn on the fire, heat up the pot, add oil, and add the snails...

Wait a minute, do you need to stir-fry the seasonings or something first?

Looking at the snails that had been cooked, I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart.

But... maybe... probably...

Can you get it if you put the seasonings at the back?

"Sister Dahua? What's wrong? No, don't you need to stir-fry?" Li Qingshu watched her perform a series of operations, and his heart was already beating like crazy. If the pot doesn't taste good later, how should I comfort Sister Dahua? Woolen cloth?

"You want it." Mei Qianghua nodded quickly, picked up the shovel and started stir-frying.

Li Qingshu: "..." I can't stand it anymore.

"Sister Dahua, how about you tell me how to do it and I can give it a try?"

Mei Qianghua: "..." She silently handed him the spatula.

Li Qingshu took the spatula and waited for Mei Qianghua's next instructions.

Put the snails out of the pot again, follow the steps, first add the spices and stir-fry, then add the snails and stir-fry, pour half a bottle of wine to remove the fishy smell, and simmer for a while.

When it's almost done, add onion and garlic leaves and wait until it's done.

"Okay!" Mei Qianghua looked excited, "Quick, quick, let's go to the door to eat. The light outside is good."

There was hesitation on Li Qingshu's face, "Sister Dahua, have you put in the salt?"

Mei Qianghua: "..."

He pursed his lips with an awkward smile on his face, "Let it go now."

The little guy let out a long sigh and took the salt shaker she handed over. He measured the amount of salt and then stir-fried it until it was cooked to taste.

"Xiao Qingshu, you can also cook." He smiled flatteringly.

Li Qingshu had an expression of 'it's nothing' on the surface, but his tone was filled with pride, "I often watch grandma cooking in the kitchen, and over time I know what to put in it."

Mei Qianghua: "..." I don't want to speak.

I moved the table out, then lifted the barrel out and placed it under the eaves. Finally, I placed the pot and snails on the barrel, and it just got stuck! Comfortable.

"Come on, use this." Mei Qianghua took out a thin bamboo skewer and put it on the table, "If you can't eat it, use it to pick out the meat!"

After saying that, he couldn't wait to pick up a snail and put it into his mouth. With a suck, the meat went into his mouth easily.

I turned to look at the little guy and gave him a thumbs up. It was unexpectedly delicious!

"Xiao Qingshu, your craftsmanship is really good! Try it now!"

The little guy didn't hesitate, and imitated the plum rose flower conch, and he was also intoxicated by the taste.

"(⊙o⊙)Wow!" A look of surprise.

"you are great!"

After the praise, he seemed to suddenly remember something, so he quickly went back to the kitchen, took out a bowl, poured the tofu curd sent from his family into it, then washed the bowl, and took out a large bowl of snails.

"Here, you take me home first, I'll wait for you to come back!"

Li Qingshu did not refuse, he also wanted to take some back to his family.

He ran quickly with the bowl in hand.

As Mei Qianghua said, she tidied up the yard and kitchen while waiting for him. After eating, she could take a nap!

Li Qingshu was panting and carrying the bowl home, where his family was eating.

"I thought you wouldn't come back!" Li Xingwang said with a smile.

"I'm here to deliver food to my family." Li Qingshu put the bowl on the table, very proudly, "I made it, Dad, eat it quickly and see if it tastes good."

"Snails..." Li Xingwang hesitated. Although it looked good and had enough ingredients, it wasn't very delicious.

However, my son still had to give me some noodles. He stretched out his chopsticks to pick one up and put it into his mouth. Then he was stunned. Has this food ever been so delicious before?

"Dad, why are you standing there? Are you asking if it tastes good?" Li Qingshu asked.

Although it was delicious, Li Xingwang still said stubbornly, "The more spices you add, the better!"

When the others heard that it was delicious, they also dropped their chopsticks.

"Hey, this thing should go well with wine." Li Hongcai was pleasantly surprised.

Others also gave rave reviews.

Li Qingshu smiled stupidly, "I'm having dinner at Sister Dahua's house this noon!" After saying that, he didn't listen to grandma's scolding from behind, picked up the meal left for himself on the table and ran out.

"This child..." The patriarch's wife shook her head helplessly.

Li Hongcai looked at it openly, "Isn't this a good thing?"

We all have common interests, so it's always good to get along better.
