Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

The duck meat is cut into large pieces and does not require much seasoning. Just add some salt and pickled radish.

After being simmered for an hour, the duck meat has fallen off the bones, is soaked in oil, and is delicious and mellow. It is also mixed with the unique plant aroma of lacquer seeds, and the soup is more mellow.

After taking a sip of rice with fresh soup, the whole family's faces were full of disbelief, especially Axiu, who drank a sip of the soup, her eyes sparkling, and her eyebrows curled up with a smile, "Sister, I like this soup, it's even better than the last one." !”

Su Ziling specially left two duck legs, one for each of her and Li Zelan, "If you like it, eat more. We can cook it next time if you want."

The sourness of the sour radish, the mellow aroma of the duck, and the unique plant fragrance of the lacquer seed oil, all blend together, allowing the taste buds to experience a different softness and length.

"This oil is really good. I didn't expect to squeeze out so much of it. By the way, where did you pick it?" Mr. Su nodded frequently, obviously he also liked it very much.

Su Ziling blinked, "It's a bit far away, and I don't know what the mountain is called. I found it when I went to pick up mushrooms last time, so I made a note of it. I'll go look for it in two days to see if there are any more."

Su Ziling fooled her, and Mr. Su and the others didn't break the casserole to ask the truth, but just told her to pay attention to her safety.

After the meal, the old Su family was completely in love with paint. Mr. Su asked about the arrangements for the next day as usual.

"Frost is going to fall in half a month. I thought we should go tear up the sweet potato vines, chop them back, dry them in the sun, and boil them with water in the winter. Then we can feed them to pigs, so as not to have to eat them in the winter. Go cut the pig grass, and even if you can't finish it, you can use it to feed the cattle. If the weather is good, you can dry it first. In three to five days, you will probably dig sweet potatoes."

After speaking, Mr. Su looked at Su Ziling, "Do you have any plans over there?"

Su Ziling nodded, "There are a lot of red peppers these days. I originally planned to use all of them to dry the peppers, but I bought more than a hundred kilograms a few days ago, so I planned to chop some bad peppers and pickle them. I want to go up the mountain to find some grass and fruits. The pepper plant at the door of our house is also red. I want to pick it, dry it in the sun and grind it into powder to eat. It will taste more fragrant."

Mr. Su nodded, "Are you too busy to come here? If not, let your mother and the others come with you."

"No, no, I'll do it with my eldest brother. You go pull the sweet potato vines and let me and the others chop them at home." She said and looked at Li Zelan, "What do you say?"

They won't set up a stall for the time being, and it's time to dig sweet potatoes again. Uncle and the others also have to pick up snails, catch small fish, make konjac tofu, smoke and bake fish, etc. There is so much work at home, it's like dust, so they are probably busy. But come here, she thought that Li Zelan would probably go back to help, but this guy waved his hand.

"What do you mean? I'll go up the mountain with my cousin. Don't worry about my family. There are so many people. It looks like there's a lot of work. They can't do enough together."

"Besides, they want me to stay with you for a few more months," he curled his lips as he spoke, "Cousin, are you going to drive me away?"

"You little bastard, does your cousin mean this?" Su A'nai smiled and slapped him in the face, "Isn't she afraid that your family will be too busy?"

Li Zelan scratched his head and said, "Hey, I'm teasing my cousin too. If the family is not busy, don't worry, cousin. If we are busy, it will probably be after spring."

"Okay, let's do this for now. Whatever we have to do tomorrow, let's go back to the house and sleep now." Mr. Su got up first, and the others returned to the house after washing up.

Su Ziling was collecting lacquer seed oil, while Su's mother and third aunt were cleaning up the stove, "Auntie, tomorrow you change the water in the fern root powder. The steps are similar to the sweet potato powder. Wash the powder once and put it in when there is no mud. Just dry the fern root powder in a dustpan."

"Okay, I'll remember it. We're almost healed here. You can quickly wash up and go back to the house to sleep."

Mother Su replied to her while wiping the stove.

Early the next morning, after dinner, everyone went about their business. Su A'nai was still drying things at home. Su's father and the others went to the fields to pull sweet potato vines. Axiu also followed, and she went to take care of the cows.

If you take the cow with you, you can not only let it go for a while, but you can also carry the sweet potato vines when you come back.

Su Ziling took Li Zelan up the mountain. If Li Zelan didn't go home, he would follow Su Ziling, while Su Ziling would be pounding peppers at home.

Chopping hot peppers is too challenging, it irritates the nose and irritates the eyes. Grandma Su said that she could just grind it at home, but everyone was worried.

Su Ziling also specifically told Su Zizhong to cover his face with a towel, otherwise he might not be able to stop sneezing that day.

"Cousin, what are we looking for?" The woods here are deeper and there are many jungles. The mugwort grows taller than people.

There was no sunlight in the forest, and the ground was extremely wet. Sometimes I would slip if I stepped on the pine hair.

"Let's look for grass fruits and star anise. Let's go back and use lacquer seed oil to make a hot pot base. Then we can cook hot pot and eat it. Then we go to the street to buy some pork belly and fat intestines, so we can cook them together."

Hearing Su Ziling's words, Li Zelan's eyes lit up a little, as if it was something he had never eaten before, "Is it even more delicious than the lacquered duck last night?"

"Of course!" Su Ziling raised her chin. The lacquer oil smelled so good, but using lacquer oil as hot pot base was just a whim of hers. After all, there was no butter in ancient times.

And she suddenly thought of using lacquer seed oil instead of butter because the freezing point of lacquer oil is very close to that of butter. The freezing point of lacquer oil is 47 degrees, while the freezing point of butter is between 35 and 45 degrees.

Because they were looking for spices, the two of them ran far away, not in the nearby mountains.

Speaking of strawberries, Aunt Li gave her a few last time, but the ones had just grown and it would take two years to get the results. The place they went to this time was also close to Mulberry Ping.

Because grass fruits like to grow in cool, humid places with sparse vegetation, the two of them looked for them in mountain cols.

"Cousin, cousin, look at that one, right? The leaves are just like you said, a bit like banana leaves!"

Li Zelan stood on the hillside, looking at the lush green grass and fruit forest below, and was so excited that his voice broke. (Picture of grass and fruit forest)

Su Ziling was a little far away from him, so when she heard his voice, she quickly gathered around him. The two of them had been searching for a long time, but they didn't see anything along the way, and their trouser legs and shoes were all wet.

She was still thinking that she would leave empty-handed today, but she didn't expect that she actually met him.

Looking at the grass and fruit trees below, Su Ziling blossomed with joy, "This is it, let's go pick grass and fruits!"
