Chapter 442: Kuzi Pounding Coriander Roots

A pair of cyan cloth shoes with a red camellia on them. Although Grandma Li is not good at cooking, she is good at making embroidered shoes.

This flower is embroidered lifelike, with red petals, yellow stamens, and green leaves, with distinct layers. The thread is also made of fine thread, which is still glowing under the sun.

"My grandma is very clever with her hands. I have to take good care of these shoes and keep them for guests to wear. I don't want them to be wasted on the ground."

The color of these shoes is very fresh and elegant. It is Su Ziling's favorite color. If it is bright red and green, she really won't like it.

Seeing that she liked it, Yang Wanxiu was also happy, "As long as you like it, I was worried that the color was too plain. I originally told your grandma to make a pair of red ones, but your grandma said you wouldn't like it, so I finally chose this color."

"My grandma has really good taste, hehe." Su Ziling patted the dust on the shoes lovingly, "I'll wash the shoes later and try them on again. I'll go cook for them first."

"Hey, I put the fish in the bucket. I asked your uncle to come over and help you clean it up." Yang Wanxiu said, patting Li Dazhu's hand and motioning for him to go over and pack the fish.

Li Dazhu put down the knife in his hand and was about to help. Mr. Su brought a pot of tea from the kitchen and stopped him, "Dazhu, come over and drink tea. I asked my second brother to clean up the fish. Come over and have a rest." "

Su's father also came over and pushed him, "Brother, go and rest. I'll be fine."

Finally, Li Dazhu and Mr. Su were drinking tea and chatting in the hall. Father Su went to pack the fish, and Mother Su was cooking in the kitchen. When she saw her coming in, Mother Su stood up and said, "I scooped four bowls of rice. Your uncle and the others are here. I'm thinking about it." Let’s make some white rice, will five bowls be enough?”

Su Ziling glanced at the soaked rice and said neither enough nor enough, "Auntie, I'll just come here. You can go and help my aunt, she's drying the radish leaves there."

Su Ziling pushed her out. The four bowls of rice were still a bit short, and the rice couldn't be purified, otherwise her uncle would have thought too much.

Thinking of this, she scooped out two more bowls of brown rice, and later added a few vegetable steamed buns, which was probably enough.

Thinking of the white radish outside, she took down the two ribs that were smoked dark on the fire pit, washed them with hot water, put them on the gong pot and started cooking. After a while, she put the radish in and cooked together to make a radish rib soup. When it's cooked, you can add a handful of kohlrabi roots and cook them together.

The cooked kohlrabi roots are also delicious, soft and raked, and especially noodles.

The dinner was particularly sumptuous, including fried spicy fish, boiled fish fillets, radish ribs soup, cold folded fungus, and took out a few eggs and fried a leek egg with the leeks.

There are still a lot of leeks at home. I planted a row in the backyard. Because I water them frequently, the leeks grow quickly.

Looking at the pile of kohlrabi roots by the door, she was stunned for a long time, and finally decided to pound some kohlrabi roots to eat today.

In order to eat the root of braised coriander, you must have the bitter fruit. The bitter fruit tree is also covered with thorns, and even the leaves are covered with thorns. The fruit is very similar to peas. (Picture of bitter fruit)

Su Ziling added two sticks of firewood to the stove, took a vegetable basket and went out. She knew where to find bitter fruits.

There is a big tree behind their house, and it doesn't cost much to pound the roots, just pick a few bunches.

But she plans to pick more. The bitter seeds fried in oil and sprinkled with salt are also delicious. They are slightly bitter, but the fragrance is greater than the bitterness.

It was not far away, she picked a bowl and came back.

Wild bitter seeds are picked and roasted in a fire until they are brown. As the temperature rises, the skin of the bitter seeds begins to bulge and finally explodes.

If it explodes, it means it is ripe. Take off the ash on the surface of the bitter seeds, add pepper, ginger, kohlrabi root, salt, pepper and other seasonings and grind them together.

You need to put more chili pepper to cover up the bitterness. After pounding, add soy sauce and stir evenly. The dish of pounded kohlrabi and soy sauce is ready.

It not only satisfies the meal but also clears the fire. The bitterness and spiciness instantly fill the mouth. After a while, there is only a faint sweetness left in the mouth, which lingers for a long time.

Li Dazhu ate until his stomach bulged. Su Ziling was good at cooking, and some of the dishes he had never tasted were delicious. They were also served, so he was full without paying attention.

He burped, feeling unsatisfied. His stomach was full, but his mouth was full of greed.

"This fish is well cooked, spicy and very tasty, and the fish meat is also tender. However, this small fish is not the same as the one we fry ourselves."

Yang Wanxiu nodded and said, "That's right. If we fried it ourselves and ate it for so long, the lard would have been frozen. Yours hasn't frozen yet, and the color of the oil doesn't look like lard. Did you fry it with soybean oil?" "

Mother Su explained: "The tea oil and soybean oil used are so expensive, where can I afford it? When you go back, take some to eat. We pressed it ourselves, and there is also lacquer oil. We will also take some of the lacquer oil back and eat it." I’ll ask Xiaoqing to make one for you tomorrow.”

"You squeezed it yourself?" Yang Wanxiu's eyes widened.

Su's mother's face was full of pride, "Yes, Xiaoqing and the others went up to the mountains to pick up some camellia oleifera fruits and lacquer seeds, and squeezed them themselves after they came back. We don't understand these either. She also heard what the passing escort said, thinking Give it a try, and you’ll get it out of your head.”

Yang Wanxiu was also quite shocked. It had to be said that the changes in the old Su family were really big. When she first came in, she saw the workshop outside, the drying racks on the roadside, and the pig and cow pens next to the yard. The changes were so big that she could not see Don't come.

Although I had heard Li Dazhu and others talk about it earlier, it was far less shocking than seeing it with my own eyes.

After dinner, the family chatted around the firepit and told each other about the current situation.

When finally talking about the deal, Yang Wanxiu smiled from ear to ear and said, "I told Da Lang about a wife."

"It's a good thing. Which girl is she from? How old is she? Is the date set?"

Mother Su was extremely excited when she heard that Li Zeqi was getting married. Li Zeqi is eighteen years old this year, and the children of his age are all two years old.

Originally, the family situation was not very good, and I never dared to talk about marriage. Now that my family has a little money, it is time to put these things on the agenda.

"I'm over 18 years old. I'm from the next village. My surname is Chen. The family situation is not very good, but the girl is good, sensible, can carry things clearly, and is diligent. Although she talks a little less, she is just right. , I’ve been looking at it for a long time, and my mother is quite satisfied.”

"Speaking of which, Da Lang has taken a fancy to this man. He often goes to the next village to sell konjac and tofu. We got to know each other from time to time. When he first came home and talked about it, your grandma was not worried. Later she pretended People passing by should go see it for themselves.”

"I also asked someone to find out. She is a good girl, but she was brought up by her family."

When Yang Wanxiu talked about the girl's family background, her face was full of heartache.

Her father is a doctor. If there is a person in Shiliba Village who has a headache, everyone will go to him. Because he picks the herbs in the mountains himself, so they are cheap. In addition, he can get credit here, so everyone likes him very much.

Later, he went to collect herbs and rolled down the mountain, breaking his leg. He spent a lot of money and owed a lot of foreign debts. Part of his family's land was sold, but his leg was still lame.

With only one leg, he couldn't do heavy work. The three of them, mother and son, cultivated the land at home. He was still treating people, and the girl took her brother to pick the herbs.

After all this time, she is getting older, and the situation at home is such that the girl does not want to get married, and many people are afraid of being dragged down by her mother's family, so no one dares to come and propose marriage.

The parents of the Chen family were extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do. In the past two years, the boy of the Chen family had grown up a bit and was able to support the family. Only then did he convince his sister to marry someone suitable.

Mother Su nodded, "According to what you said, she is indeed a sensible person. It doesn't matter if she talks less, as long as she doesn't stir up trouble. What are your plans for her home?"

"The date is set for February of next year. The betrothal gifts are given according to the etiquette. The silver is five taels from his parents." Yang Wanxiu paused and continued: "Mom said, I will help you if you can in the future. There is always a way, and I have seen that boy from their family. He is very sensible and hard-working, and his life is not much different. "

Five taels of silver?

It's indeed a lot. An ordinary person only has one tael of silver, and those with better conditions only have three or four taels. Some even give two bags of grain and that's it.
