Chapter 504 Potato and melon

"As long as you like it," Su Ziling continued to take out things, "These are preserved eggs, which are marinated with duck eggs. You can eat them cold when you go home. I made this lacquered oil hot pot base at home. It's not much, so I got two for you. Jin, if you can’t eat too spicy food, you can have three or four meals here.”

"Just make a pot of bone soup, add a piece of lacquered hot pot base, throw in all the meat and vegetables you want to eat, and cook it in one pot. When it's cooked, you can eat it directly, or you can cook it while eating."

Afraid that he wouldn't eat it, Su Ziling explained in detail.

"So magical?" Chen San was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He took the piece of paint wrapped in paper and opened it carefully, "I'll take a look first. I've never heard of this way of eating."

The paper was opened, revealing a hard piece of paint inside. With the addition of pepper and other condiments, the original light yellow paint had changed its appearance.

Looking at the red oil hot pot base, Chen San's eyes lit up, "It looks a bit like the fried chili pepper used in vermicelli, but this one smells more fragrant, and it won't melt even in the sun. Girl Xiaoqing, what kind of oil is this?"

"Lacquer oil is squeezed from the seeds of the sumac tree. It's not much. I can make it by myself after a few meals."

"Hey, thank you, Miss Xiaoqing, I'll accept this." Chen San wrapped the paper back, shook the paint in his hand and said with a smile.

"There are also some conifers here, which were also picked up in the mountains. This one is an olive, which I soaked myself. If you are thirsty and don't have water on the road, this can quench your thirst."

As Su Ziling took out more and more things, Chen San gradually couldn't hold them anymore.

Looking at so many things, he felt a little embarrassed, "This... this, how can this be embarrassing? There are so many things."

"Are you sorry? Third brother, you usually take care of our business, and you also helped bring so many things back. Even the last time someone came to cause trouble, it was all thanks to you."

"Hey! That's nothing, it's just a little effort!"

Seeing the two of them talking more and more happily, Scar coughed and reminded: "San'er, it's getting late."

"Hey, I got it, brother." Chen San responded and looked at Su Ziling, "Sister Xiaoqing, let's go look at things. We have to rush on our way in a while, so we won't chat much. Wait until next time. Next time there will be We must set up camp here when it’s empty.”

Looking at the neat little stalls on the side, he said with a smile: "But don't tell me, you have to be capable. This overgrown mountain col looks like a market for you." Come on, if we add a few more stalls, it can become a market."

In the past six months, there have been more and more things for sale, and each food stall has its own stall. In this empty mountain col, Mr. Su and the others were asked to build a row of sheds.

From a distance, it really looks like something.

"It's still far from where we are. But our family is as big as it is today thanks to your care."

Su Ziling was speaking from the bottom of her heart. She was here today thanks to the escorts and caravans coming and going.

Especially Chen San and the others introduced many caravans to her.

"I'm telling you, I brought a lot of things this time. Except for the things you mentioned, the rest seemed okay. I brought a bunch of weird ones, enough for two cars."

Chen San took her to the middle of the motorcade, "These are the two cars. This is pepper. Seeing that your family has a large demand and the price is not high over there, I will bring you an extra 100 kilograms. The total is Three hundred pounds.”

"Islet fruit and ginger taro, according to you, weigh the same one hundred kilograms, and then there is this chayote, which is a bit old. I got thirty pieces for you. This chayote and islet fruit belong to the same family, so he I didn’t ask for any money, so I’ll just give it to you. I’m a little old, so you can see if you can take it, or just throw it away.”

Su Ziling opened the sacks one by one, first looking at the islet fruit and ginger taro, and finally at the chayote.

As Chen San said, it was indeed old, the skin was yellow, and it had traveled a long distance, so the melon was a little wilted, but it was not a big problem. She did not use it to eat, but to plant seeds.

The seeds must be yellow, and the tender ones may not germinate.

"Yes, it certainly can. I just need the yellow one, and this one is just right."

Seeing Su Ziling smiling happily, Chen San felt relieved and said, "As long as you like it, there are more here. Come and take a look at this. I don't know these either. See if you recognize them."

As he spoke, he unloaded the things from the car behind him, including several large and small sacks.

"This is the most stuff. It's heavy. It looks large and cheap. I just took two sacks. Take a look. It looks like tree roots or sweet potatoes. I don't know what they are. , but don’t worry, it will definitely be edible.”

"I bought it after seeing the locals eating it. I've also eaten it. They seem to cook it directly, add some sugar, and it turns out pink and glutinous, which is quite delicious."

Hearing what he said, Su Ziling became even more curious. When she opened the sack, she looked at the large and small cassava inside, her eyes bright and frightening.

She took one out and confirmed repeatedly, "It's cassava!"

These two sacks of cassava are of different sizes, but the quality is pretty good, and cassava can be eaten in many ways. It can be roasted, cooked into cassava soup, made into vermicelli or biscuits, or as Chen San said, made into Cassava soup will also work.

Seeing her ecstatic look, Chen San knew that he had made the right purchase, "How do you like it? Is it what you want?"

"Yes, thank you, third brother. This food is delicious. I will invite you to try it some other time."

Su Ziling put the cassava back and went to open other sacks.

"Okay, then I'll just wait. This thing is actually not expensive. The villagers dug it out of the mountains. If you like it, I'll bring it to you next time I meet you."

Chen San said as he helped open the other sacks.

"Potato! Tugua! Taro!"

Su Ziling's voice got louder every time she said a name. She really didn't expect that Chen San could find such good things.

Chen San scratched his head, "Do you know them all? I didn't seem to recognize them, so I bought some, but the prices were quite high. I didn't know if you wanted them, so I just bought fifty pounds."

Potatoes are relatively small, like walnuts, and they can be either red or white in color. The most important thing is that the skin of the potato is a little numb. (the most original wild potato)

The size and shape were completely different from what Su Ziling had seen in modern times.

Even if the shape is weird, just the pockmarks on the surface will probably scare a lot of people away.

But she was certain that it was potato.

The taro is different from the water taro they eat. This taro is obviously larger. One taro is probably enough for a meal. However, the outer skin is a bit hairy, and it looks like raincoat hair, with layers upon layers. of.

Finally, there is the soil melon. It looks almost the same as the ones from later generations, except that it is smaller and the skin is not as smooth.

Seeing her staring at the sack in a daze, Chen San explained: "They call this thing Tugua. Don't look at it. It tastes sweet and has a lot of water. I've tasted it and it tastes good. I'll give it to you." Brought some."

Su Ziling nodded frequently to indicate that she understood, but kept muttering in her heart,

This is not only possible!

If these things are grown well, she will not have to worry about insufficient food in the future. Thinking of this, her eyes are already filled with stars.
