It was still drizzling yesterday, but it has become a little heavier today. It has been raining continuously and has not stopped all night long.

When she woke up in the morning, she felt that the temperature seemed to be lower. Su Ziling shivered from the cold as soon as she opened the door. For a moment, she actually felt like it was already winter.

Su's mother poured a ladle of water into the yard and saw her shiver. She smiled and said, "Are you up? Why don't you sleep more? It's a bit cold, so put on some clothes."

"Hey, I got it, grandma!" Su Ziling responded, then returned to the room and added another piece of clothing.

Hearing Su's mother's voice, Su Zimu, who was sitting in the kitchen warming himself by the fire, ran out, "Mom, is it my sister who's up?"

"Get up, get up, don't come out, you'll catch a cold if you get wet in the rain." Mother Su looked at Su Zimu's feet that were about to run over to find Su Ziling, and stopped him.

Su Zimu sat back down, but kept looking out, muttering, "Why doesn't my sister come?"

"Has she gotten up or not?"

Su Ziling heard his muttering while she was still outside the door, "Get up, get up, where are you urging me to wake up? I don't have time to sleep in when it's sunny, and I won't let you sleep in even if it rains?"

Su Zimu scratched his head, "No, I'm anxious to see the sweet potato you made! Why don't you take a look and see if it's done?"

Su Ziling yawned and froze without closing her mouth after hearing her words.

Su Zimu raised his eyebrows, "You," he paused, with a bit of teasing in his eyes, "could you have forgotten?"

Su Ziling: "..."

She was too full yesterday. The sweet potato cake last night was filled with eggs and wild garlic. It was so fragrant. So when she slept that night, her dreams were filled with braised pork and meat. She was so greedy that she even drank all the sweet potato flour. Forgot.

She covered her mouth and said, "It's nothing, I'll go check it out after I wash up."

I thought to myself, if I forget, I can’t tell you!

Sweet potatoes are still roasting by the fire pit. Mr. Su is obviously more patient than Su Ziling, so the sweet potatoes are roasted very well, and the skin is not as burnt as yesterday.

The kitchen is filled with the aroma of sweet potatoes. Over there, Su Mu is making corn steamed buns. This has probably solved the problem of food rations for this year. Now Su Mu is willing to use more ingredients when cooking, and she doesn’t have to think about it every day like before. How to add water, how to save food and expenses, how to evenly distribute the food so that it can be eaten throughout the year.

Su Zimu was particularly diligent because he was probably worried about the sweet potato noodles he made yesterday. When he heard that Su Ziling was going to wash up, he even took the initiative to help fetch hot water for Su Ziling to wash her face.

After washing up, Su Ziling and Su Zimu tried it together, but failed to pick up the basin, so they had no choice but to ask Su's father for help.

"Dad, help me, I can't lift it."

"Hey, it's here." Su's father put down the broad beans in his hand and patted the dust on his hands, "Where are you going to take them?"

"By the door, pour the water and take a look first." Su Ziling pointed to the kitchen door.

"Okay." Su's father rolled up his sleeves and looked at Su Ziling and his brother and sister, his face full of disgust, "Go, go, go, you two stay here."

"I'll do it." Su Zizhong pulled the two of them aside. Su Ziling was okay and just shook his arm, while Su Zimu was lifted aside by his collar.

Su Zimu: "..."

He looked at Su Zizhong's tall figure and then at his own small body, and he was so angry that he punched nothing.

Su Ziling touched his head and said, "It's okay. Eat more and you will grow taller."

"Xiao Qing, come here and take a look. How much water should I pour?"

Father Su shouted.

"Here we come," Su Ziling walked over and whispered, "Pour it all out, but be gentle and pour it slowly. Don't shake the powder that settled at the bottom."

The water above is relatively turbid, but as the water flows out, the powder underneath is gradually exposed. The powder is not particularly white, and there are some yellow attachments on it.

"That's enough." Seeing that the water was almost poured, Su Ziling stopped them.

"Sister, is this the new food you're going to make? Why does it feel a little lacking?" Su Zimu also came to the door at some point.

Su Ziling looked at the thick layer of powder on the bottom of her pelvis and smiled so hard that her eyes turned into crescent shapes. She was obviously very satisfied. This powder production rate was considered to be very high.

"Pour out the rest too."

When all the water in the remaining three large basins was poured out, Su Ziling smiled even more happily. He directed several people to pour water into the basins again, took a stick, stirred, and washed the powder again to settle.

"Okay, let it settle for another two hours and it's almost done. Let's eat sweet potato noodles tonight!" Su Ziling wiped the water on her hands and said to everyone.

Su's mother's wowotou was also steamed. She washed a bowl of wild tomatoes and said, "Qing'er, how do you make this soup?"

Su Ziling rolled up her sleeves and took the kitchen knife, "I'll do it, Auntie."

She cut the wild tomatoes first, then took the time to say to Su's mother: "Mommy, pick up some pickled peppers, and then soak some prunes in hot water."

"Hey, okay."

Mother Su said while soaking the prunes, "Don't tell me, the prunes made from purslane are quite delicious, but it's a little troublesome to make. I'll cut some and cook them when I have time someday. It's time It becomes a hot commodity in winter.”

Su Ziling responded to her with a smile, "One day I will go buy some meat and make you some braised pork with pickled vegetables. That would be delicious, and there are many ways to eat it. It can be used to make soup, stew meat, and... Pancakes, or soaking them and adding some eggs, peppers, meat, etc., it’s a grandma’s dish that goes well with rice.”

As she said this, she looked at Su's mother and said, "Mom, take two eggs. I'll fry some prunes. It's just right to go with the steamed buns."

"Okay!" Mother Su wiped the water from her hands, put aside the peppers she fished out, and went to the house to pick up five eggs.

In the past, the eggs at home were saved to exchange for oil, salt, needles, thread, and brains. Now that the family has a business selling tofu, life is a little less tight.

The eggs were taken out one after another and eaten.

"So many!" Su Ziling was quite surprised when she saw that there were five eggs. She raised her eyebrows with a smile in her voice.

"Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, we can't store the eggs anymore. We have enough food at home, so we can just take out the eggs and eat them ourselves. They are not worth much."

After Su's mother put the eggs down, she stood aside and watched Su Ziling cook. She didn't know how to cook these things that they had never eaten before. She usually learned to cook after watching Su Ziling cook them once.

"I thought you wanted to make soup and stir-fry prunes, so I took a few more."

Su Ziling smiled and said to Bai Wei at the kitchen door: "Third Aunt, make a big fire."

Bai Wei nodded and added two firewood to the stove.

She made tomato and egg soup first, so that by the time the soup came out, the prunes would be almost done soaking.

The soup made from wild tomatoes is really amazing. It is redder in color than ordinary tomatoes and has a richer taste. When it is finally served, sprinkle a handful of minced wild garlic on it, which makes it full of color, flavor and flavor!
