Mr. Su nodded, "That's quite a lot. These children have traveled far away, and there is no ice powder fruit they have. Maybe they will receive more than we expected in the end."

"This bamboo shoot is good, quite crispy. Where did you get it?" Father Su liked to eat it.

Probably because a little glutinous rice cake chili is added to stir-fry, the color of the bamboo shoots is particularly beautiful. There are wild garlic and pork belly in it, and the oily bamboo shoots taste even more fragrant.

"They are bitter bamboo shoots. I saw them when I was picking ice powder fruits. If I couldn't win, I broke off a few of them. If I like to eat them, I can find some time to break off more. After I come back and dry them, I can eat them in the winter."

Su Ziling also likes bamboo shoots, whether fried or mixed, or stewed with chicken.

"Bitter bamboo shoots?" Su A'nai had a puzzled look on her face, "This isn't bitter at all, it's quite delicious."

"Bleach it with water and it won't be bitter. I soak it in cold water after blanching it and change the water again later. You can try it cold at night."

Su A'nai nodded, "Then you can break some more and dry them in the sun to eat in the winter. In winter, there is really nothing to eat except radishes."

"Okay," Su Ziling looked at Mr. Su, "Grandpa, what are you going to do this afternoon?"

Mr. Su thought for a while and said: "Go and pick those century-old tea trees. If you come back early, go and harvest corn twice. What's the matter? Is there any urgent work?"

"No, I'll just ask." Su Ziling shook her head.

Although the ice powder fruit is more valuable, looking for the ice powder fruit requires running all over the hillside, and there are so many children looking for it. Mr. Su doesn't want to look for the ice powder fruit.

The crops in the fields are also very important, so you have to harvest them quickly after picking the tea.

Everyone was very hungry. After the meal, there was not much food left on the table.

After dinner, Su Ziling went to fry tea leaves. Mr. Su and the others rested for a while before going up the mountain to pick tea.

Lao Su's family has finished eating. Liu Guilan and his wife have just come back. Now they don't need to deliver tofu. They are responsible for picking leaves and mushrooms.

I pick mushrooms in the morning, leaves in the afternoon, and wash leaves and mushrooms in the evening. I usually go home only after I’m done.

I picked up the mushrooms in the morning to avoid running into the Su Ziling family for dinner. They usually carry the mushrooms home and bring them over after dinner.

When the two of them got home, Su Wenyuan had already eaten a roasted sweet potato, and his mouth was full of black spots.

When he saw Liu Guilan, he rushed over and said, "Aniang, why did you come back? Ayuan is hungry."

Liu Guilan pinched his face and said, "Are you hungry? What did you just eat? Your mouth is black."

Su Wenyuan wiped his mouth and said, "It's roasted sweet potatoes. Grandma baked them for me."

Su Wenyuan took Liu Guilan's hand and said, "Mom, my grandma and I went to pick ice powder fruits this morning." After saying this, his eyes rolled around, and when he saw no one in the yard, he waved.

Liu Guilan lowered her head, and Su Wenyuan whispered in her ear: "We also made money."

After saying that, he looked at Liu Guilan with bright eyes, full of begging for praise.

Liu Guilan was stunned for a moment, then touched his head, "A Yuan is so awesome, he can even make money."

"Shush!" Su Wenyuan shushed, "Mom, please keep your voice down, don't let the bad guys hear you."

Liu Guilan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, mom, please keep your voice down."

Mrs. Liu heard the voice and came out of the house, "You're back? Wash your hands and eat quickly. Wen Yuan has been hungry for a long time."

Liu Guilan and the others put the fungi in the room and said while washing their hands: "Mom, you don't have to wait for us to eat next time. You should eat your food as soon as it's cooked. I can't tell when my second brother and I will be back."

"I'm okay, but Wen Yuan is hungry, but I've given him roasted sweet potatoes. Besides, there are only four people in the family, and we have to eat at two tables? It doesn't even taste good."

Su Wenyuan corrected: "Grandma, you forgot, I also ate the August melon given by my eldest sister."

He looked at Liu Guilan and said, "Mom, my eldest sister gave me the August melon. It's so sweet."

"Really, you like to eat? Then when your father has time, ask him to go into the mountains to find it for you."

After Liu Guilan finished speaking, she looked at her mother Liu, "Mom, have you gone to pick ice powder fruits?"

Ms. Liu nodded, "I had nothing to do at home, so I took Wenyuan out for a walk and sold it for three pennies. I remember that we also have this ice powder fruit over there. There are quite a lot of it. I'll find one another day. It’s time to go back and pick it and sell it, it’s worth a lot of money.”

Liu Guilan was also moved, but they really didn't have time. They were getting paid and had to work for others, and the crops in the fields were waiting to be harvested.

"Just wait a little longer. We don't have time right now. I guess there will be two days left before the leaves of the foxtail leaf will be gone. Then we can harvest the corn and tell them that we can go pick it again."

"It only lasts a few days, mother, don't pick it secretly!" Liu Guilan glanced at Mrs. Liu and warned.

Mrs. Liu: "..."

She really had this idea just now, thinking that if they didn't have time and she had, she could take Wen Yuan to pick it and let them pick it back when the time came.

Who knew that as soon as she had this idea, she was exposed.

"No, no, I'll just take Wenyuan around and sell it for every penny." Mrs. Liu said, picking up a spoon and scooping out egg custard for everyone.

Life at home has improved a lot. After making money, I stopped selling the eggs and kept them for myself to eat. Mainly because there was no meat at home and Su Wenyuan was young, so I decided not to sell them and steamed one for my children every now and then. Supplement.

The people next door were eating, and the courtyard of Lao Su's house was already busy.

Su A'nai, Axiu and Su Zimu were kneading the ice powder seeds. Su Ziling felt that kneading like this was too slow and tiring.

"Grandma, let it dry in the sun. When it becomes crispy, we can just tap it with a thin stick. It's too laborious to rub it one by one with your hands."

"Is that possible?" Su A'nai was doubtful, "Will the seeds be broken?"

"No, it can't be that easy. Stop rubbing it and just turn it over from time to time." Su Ziling started to fry the tea leaves.

After hearing that there was no need to rub, Axiu moved her little stool and sat over, "Sister, I'll light a fire for you."

"Okay."

Axiu's fire was the best. She watched carefully and controlled the heat better.

Hearing that there was no need to rub, Su Zimu had nothing to do for a while. He took out a backpack and said, "Sister, let me go for a walk in the mountains."

"Go."

Su A'nai dug through all the ice powder fruits, found all the dustpans at home, wiped off the dust on them, and set them aside for later use.

As soon as Su Ziling's tea leaves came out of the pot, Su A'nai helped to dry them.

With Su A Nai's help, Su Ziling was very fast and finished frying all the tea leaves in an hour and a half.

She lit the fire in the kiln and planned to use it to bake moon cakes later.

There was no time to make bean paste, but there was still some bacon at home. Su Ziling planned to make ham mooncakes. Although this was not ham, but...

Not bad at all, just use this as ham.

If there was no honey, she used maltose. Mix the maltose, lard and flour together and set them aside to wake up.

I took out the last bit of bacon, removed the pork skin from all sides, and cut the meat into small pieces. Add maltose lard and fried flour, stir evenly and shape into small balls.

In the end, just like making buns, put the kneaded meat filling into the cake, wrap it up, and finally bake it slowly in the kiln.

She didn't make much, so she made two for each person. She wanted to have a taste for the August Festival.

After the mooncakes were baked for a while, she beat an egg and only took the yolk. She colored the mooncakes and brushed them with egg yolk and maltose. She even brushed a little water on them to avoid cracking the mooncakes.

Because the temperature in the kiln was not very high, she didn't have to keep an eye on it, so she went to look at the ice powder hanging in the well.

It was very successful, crystal clear, she patted it with her hands and it was elastic and well-shaped. Because the temperature in the well was low, the powdered ice was cold. Su Ziling glanced at Su Ah Nai and the others next to her.

"Grandma, do you want some ice powder?"
