He arranged for Su Zizhong to go out to dig wild vegetables, while Su Ziling washed all the edible vegetables at home and put them aside.

Since it is impossible to eat mushroom pot if there are too few mushrooms, in addition to the two bowls of oyster mushrooms that Su Mu had washed, she also went to get some shiitake mushrooms, washed them and cut them into slices for later use.

The mushrooms that were put into the pot just now were thrown in whole, just to make the soup more fresh. Now, all the mushrooms that I have taken are cut into slices and set aside. They can be put into the pot to cook in a while.

Before Su Zizhong came back, she took out some vermicelli and soaked it in hot water. If she was not full after a while, she could put the vermicelli in the pot and cook it directly.

Thinking that the mushroom pot was not cooked with hot pot base ingredients, and they were all used to eating spicy food, Su Ziling thought of mixing a large bowl with water, so that if you like something lighter, you can eat something lighter, and if you like something spicy, you can make it yourself Dip in water.

"Grandma, where is the pestle and mortar that my grandfather gave me to grind?"

Su Ziling turned around and didn't see her little pestle.

"Look if it's at the bottom of the cupboard. I remember putting it there." Su A'nai's voice came from outside the door.

"You and your mother have the same temperament. After using things, you can't find them anywhere. She follows you every day to clean them up for you."

Hearing her words, Su Ziling stuck out her tongue. You really can't blame her. She ran to the mountains every day and washed and hung many things after use. She forgot about them when she came back from a walk.

"Isn't this you, grandma? Next time, next time I will definitely remember to accept it."

Afraid that she wouldn't be able to find it, Su A'nai asked again, "Have you found it yet?"

"found it."

Su Ziling squatted on the ground and took out the small pestle and mortar placed in the bottom corner of the cupboard.

This small pestle and mortar was specially polished by Mr. Su for her. She usually likes to pound some seasonings, but it is always inconvenient to use a large pestle and mortar.

A bowl of seasonings was put into a pestle and mortar and it was not done yet. The seasonings were all stained on the pestle and mortar.

After meeting her once, Mr. Su dug out the root of a dragon bamboo and polished a small pestle and mortar for her.

The advantage of the pestle and mortar ground with bamboo roots is that it is compact and convenient, and it is also light and easier to clean. (Picture of bamboo root, pestle and mortar)

After finding the pestle and mortar, she washed it, found red peppers, ginger, and garlic and pounded them vigorously in the pestle and mortar. After pounding for a few times, she felt that the taste was a bit bland, so she took out some pickled kohlrabi roots and pounded them together.

After grinding, add pepper, salt and soy sauce, mix well and set aside to taste.

The freshly pounded paprika is very spicy and has a strong flavor. Add some soy sauce and marinate it aside, and then add some vinegar and coriander to taste even better when the meal is ready.

Speaking of vinegar, almost all the dried sour papayas at home were taken to the store. If the family wanted to eat sour ones, they could only pick limes. But it was too late today and there was no time to pick them, so she had to grab a handful of Yunnan olives. replace.

Clean the olives, crush them with a grindstone and put them in a bowl. Then add boiling water and soak them. In just one cup of tea, you have a bowl of olive vinegar.

The grinding stone was picked up by Su Ziling from the river. It is very convenient for washing pots and makes them very clean. You can use the grinding stone to hit olives and hard fruits that you usually eat. It is particularly easy to use. (Picture of grinding pot stone)

Seeing this grinding stone, she thought about barbecue again, thinking about going to the river to pick up some thinner ones one day, and then wash them and use them for barbecue.

It will happen that you can make dry pickles in two days. Then make a pot of pickle paste. The pickle paste goes best with barbecue.

She was thinking happily while cutting the meat. When Su Zizhong came in, he saw her humming a tune while cutting the meat, and there was a sense of pleasure in her whole body.

"What do you think you are so happy about?"

Su Ziling turned around and glanced at him when she heard the voice, "I'm thinking about eating barbecue. I'm thinking about going to the mountains tomorrow so I can squeeze the camellia oil the day after tomorrow."

"Then I took the time to make dry pickles and boil some pickle paste. Erniu will probably come back by then. It's just right. I will buy more meat during the Chinese New Year. The whole family will have a barbecue and cook a lacquered hot pot together. , we didn’t catch up with the two oxen we cooked for the lacquer oil hot pot last time.”

She was busy on the stove, talking about what she would be busy with in the next two months. Su Zizhong listened to her while coming over to pick the vegetables with two sieves, and responded to her from time to time.

"Well, yes."

"It's okay. I'll pull it out when I'm free."

"It's almost here. It's not long before the Chinese New Year."

"It's okay. There's still plenty of paint. Let's keep it for him. If it doesn't work, I'll go into the mountains to look for it another day."

Hearing him saying that he wanted to go into the mountains to find lacquer seeds, Su Ziling laughed out loud, "Have you forgotten that you are allergic to lacquer trees? Are you still looking for it? Don't go to Tianmen Mountain, it's too dangerous, but last time Sanlang and Lu Yan I dug up a few Amomum villosum roots, but I don’t know where the Amomum villosum is. I have to dig it back some day and plant it in front of our house. If I want to eat Amomum villosum in the future, I don’t have to go to the mountains to find it.”

"Okay, wait until I have time..."

Su Zizhong was interrupted by Su Ziling before he finished speaking, "Just sell things in the mountain col. Where will you find the time? I can go by myself, or I can call Uncle Yonghe and the others to come with me."

Su Zizhong frowned, "Aren't you worried about their allergies?"

Su Ziling finished working on the stove and knelt down to pick vegetables with him, "Uncle Yonghe doesn't have allergies. He went with me last time. Huh? You even pinched the tips of the peas?"

"Yeah." Su Zizhong said in a deep voice, "I stopped by to take a look. I pinched a handful when I thought it was ready to eat. It was growing well, but there were a lot of goose intestines. I picked up a bunch and threw it back to the chickens. I'll eat it another day. Find time to pull out the grass, otherwise the peas may not be able to grow."

"Goose intestines?" Su Ziling's eyes lit up, and she stood up in a flash, "Where is it? Have you fed the chickens?"

Su Zizhong didn't understand why she was so excited, but he pointed to the door honestly, "I didn't feed him, so he just left it at the door."

Su Ziling stopped picking vegetables and walked toward the door. Her eyes brightened even more when she looked at the tender goose intestines.

She took the handful of goose intestines into the house and said while choosing, "This one is also delicious. Now is the time to eat it. It is very tender and can be used to make hot pot."

"Can this be eaten?" Su Zizhong really didn't know. Usually he just pulled it out and fed it to chickens and ducks.

"Yes, its tips and young leaves can be blanched, served cold, or made into soup."

The brother and sister were squatting on the ground talking and picking. When Su's mother came in, she saw the dishes on the stove, which were not fried yet.

"Qing'er, you go stir-fry, and Mom will pick it up. But do you have to stir-fry so many vegetables?"

"We won't be cooking tonight, let's have mushroom hot pot," she said, moving to the side and making a place for Su's mother to come out, "Auntie, come here quickly."
