"It's okay!" Su Ziling turned around and came in with the meat. "We covered the well last night, so no water got in."

Wang Anan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay, I was scared to death, how are you going to make this wonton? Let me help you."

"Then I'll knead the dough and you help me chop the meat." Su Ziling put the meat on the chopping board and took the basin to scoop the noodles.

The two pieces of meat today are pretty good, one is pure lean meat and the other is pork belly.

She took out the thin one, which was perfect for making wontons.

When Grandma Su and the others got up, Su Ziling was already rolling out the dough. "Mother, you've come at the right time. Come and help us make the dough."

"I'm really afraid that after I finish all the packages today, the day will be over."

There are eight or nine people in the family, and Father Su and his family have big appetites. If she really wants to prepare enough food, she is afraid it will take her an entire morning.

With the addition of Su's mother and Su's grandmother, the four of them worked faster. Seeing that they had gotten the hang of it, she got up to prepare the red oil sauce.

"Mother, you guys wrap them. I'll go prepare the sauce."

"Go, go, we'll do it." Su's mother didn't even raise her head.

Su Ziling chopped ginger, garlic, and green onion, added a spoonful of chili powder and Sichuan pepper powder, then fried them with hot oil. The aroma instantly filled the kitchen.

Then add sesame seeds, soy sauce, vinegar, and mushroom powder, and a bowl of bright red oil sauce is ready.

She put water in the pot and boiled it. Before the water boiled, she put on her hat and ran to the backyard to pick some sweet potato tips and green vegetables.

The sweet potato tips are what's left over from growing sweet potato seedlings. They haven't been dug up yet. After the rain, some more sprouted. Seeing that they were still quite tender, she pinched a handful. The small green vegetables were sown not long ago and are about the same size as chopsticks. These small green vegetables are actually the most delicious.

It is very tender and not bitter, but Grandma Su couldn't bear to part with it. She had to plant it and then eat the big ones.

Seeing her pulling up the young green vegetable seedlings, Grandma Su just asked, "You pulled up and ate these green vegetables before they were even planted."

Grandpa Su handed her a potato and said, "Eat it if you want. There's still time. You can sprinkle some more when the rain stops."

When the water boils, put the wontons into the pot. The wonton skin is relatively thin, and is usually cooked when it starts to float. For nine people, she had to cook two pots to get enough.

Scoop the red oil sauce into a bowl in advance, put the wonton directly into the bowl, sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onions and coriander, and finally drizzle a little soup.

After blanching the green vegetables and sweet potato tips, put them in a bowl, with a few pieces in each bowl. She also heated up a jar of mushroom sauce and scooped two spoonfuls of it on each bowl of wonton.

"Okay, okay, it's time to eat!" After a busy morning, I finally got to eat this bowl of tender and delicious red oil wonton.

Green vegetables, white wontons, and red oil are mouth-watering just by looking at them.

Father Su couldn't help himself first, "Let me try it first, this wonton smells delicious."

She added just the right amount of balsamic vinegar, which actually whetted people’s appetite. Even the blanched green vegetables tasted crispy and sweet.

"Mm, this mushroom sauce is so fragrant. I think it would be delicious to wrap a mushroom filling in it."

Father Su had a big appetite and he couldn't stop eating, one bite at a time.

They themselves had only eaten this red oil wonton twice, let alone Lu Yan.

"I've only eaten dumplings, but this wonton tastes better than dumplings. It's smoother, more tender, and very soft in the mouth. The red oil sauce is also good."

It was rare that he said a few more words. Usually when he saw something delicious, he would just nod and say a few words that it was delicious.

"If you like it, eat more. This bag has a lot. It's enough."

Grandma Su responded with a smile.

"We rarely eat this wonton, mainly because we don't have much time. We usually make whatever is convenient and quick. It's a rare opportunity for us to eat it, so you can eat more. If it's not enough, Xiaoqing will make more for you."

"I won't be polite, grandma."

Father Su had finished half a bowl of food. He said to Su Ziling, "My daughter, give me another bowl. This wonton is so delicious, especially the meat filling. It's very fragrant."

The whole morning was spent making and eating dumplings. After the meal, Su Ziling put on his straw raincoat and went to the yard to wash ginger and taro.

After this morning's washing, most of the dirt on the ginger and taro fell off, with only a few bits and pieces left. Su Ziling put the ginger and taro in a backpack, placed it on the doorstep, and let Su's mother and others sit there to wash them.

They were responsible for washing, she and Twenty were responsible for cutting the ginger and taro into slices, and Lu Yan, Su Zizhong and Su's father were responsible for pounding.

I had two sacks, so I could use two pestles and mortars to pound the grains together. I could finish pounding two baskets at a time.

The steps for filtering ginger and taro powder are the same as those for sweet potatoes, so it is very easy for everyone to do it. With so many people involved, it can be done in a short time.

After all, the washing powder was cold, so Su Zizhong didn't let them touch the water. He and Twenty were responsible for scrubbing, and then took out gauze to filter it.

The filtered water was placed on the door to settle, and he even put a dustpan on it to prevent dust and mice from falling in.

After finishing the work with ginger and taro, everyone was so cold that a group of people gathered around the fire pit, eating melon seeds and chatting.

Just like that, a day passed by unknowingly.

When I woke up early the next morning, the rain had stopped and the sun was out. The mountain opposite had just been washed by the rain, and the sun shining on it looked particularly fresh and bright.

There is also a faint scent of soil in the air.

In the morning, we had brown rice, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, which was delicious when paired with the pickles she made.

After dinner, the sun shone into the yard. The soil was too rotten, and the shoes immediately turned into high heels when walking in the field. Since he couldn't work anyway, Su Ziling simply took a backpack and prepared to go into the mountains.

"Sister-in-law, I want to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms. Do you want to come with me?"

Wang Anan had just finished feeding the pigs. When she heard her say she was picking mushrooms, she was also stunned, "Ah? It's September already, are there still mushrooms?"

Recently, no one from the neighboring villages has come to deliver mushrooms. I see that the green-handed mushrooms have gradually died out, but the green-headed mushrooms and gray-headed mushrooms are still available, so most of the mushrooms delivered are miscellaneous mushrooms.

There were only a handful of people in the mushroom workshop, and everyone understood that the mushroom production was about to end.

Fortunately, there is a lot of inventory, and I estimate that it can be sold for two or three months.

"Yes, in September there are grain mushrooms, gray mushrooms, and charcoal mushrooms. If you're lucky, you can even find a few nests of white buckwheat mushrooms. There are also wild oyster mushrooms and wood ears. I want to go and take a look. Do you want to go?"

"Go! Wait for me." Wang Anan responded loudly, clearly and crisply, with a hint of joy.

In the past few months, she has learned about many kinds of mushrooms, but she has never seen wild mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, etc.

Of course, she had eaten the fungus before. It looked dry and shriveled, but it would grow bigger if soaked in water. She was also curious about where the fungus grew.
