At Yao's ancestral tomb, he reported his two fathers about his life in the past two years. Yao Yixin stood up sadly but relaxed, patted his sore knees, and helped Mao Xiaowu go down the mountain.

After spring and May, there is nothing to eat wild vegetables in the mountains. However, there is one wild vegetable that is in season, that is the long-lived vegetable all over the mountains and plains, the scientific name is purslane.Probably because the people here are not used to eating, there are almost everywhere on the side of the road, and the tender branches and leaves will be a stream of water when pinched, very fat and tender.

Yao Yixin liked to eat this kind of wild vegetables very much in his previous life. Their family used to grow watermelons, and this kind of wild vegetables were the most common in the field. Every time we weeded, they could harvest a lot. They used to pick the tenderest ones. Stir-fried or made into dried vegetables and steamed bacon to eat during the busy farming season.

Later, some people started to run farmhouses there, and the demand for wild vegetables such as purslane unexpectedly increased. Yao Yixin was quick-witted, and at that time encouraged his father to use the idle land in the melon field to plant some purslane.

Purslane is a wild vegetable that is resistant to drought, waterlogging, and high temperature. It can grow very well with a little soil. That year, their family earned [-] to [-] yuan just by selling purslane, which was even better than his parents. You can earn more by selling watermelons at a stall!

Later, relying on the family members to grow purslane, water celery, shepherd's purse and other wild vegetables for the farmhouse, Yao Yixin was able to finish college easily, and because the family conditions were not very tight, there was no need to rush to find a job, so she took the exam. On the official ape.

Therefore, Yao Yixin really has a special feeling for purslane. Seeing the purslane all over the mountains and plains, he couldn't help feeling a little sorry. If it was in their time and space, a catty of wild purslane could be sold for tender heads. With less than ten yuan, as long as he wraps up the mountain, the annual output is enough for his family to live a good life.

"Young master, what are you doing picking all these weeds?" Seeing Yao Yixin squatting down to pick a handful of weeds, Mao Xiaowu squatted aside and looked at it curiously.

"This is not an ordinary weed. This thing is called purslane, also known as longevity vegetable. According to the records of medicine, purslane is cold in nature, sweet and sour in taste, and enters the heart, spleen, and large intestine meridian. It is used for both medicine and food. Clearing away heat and promoting dampness, detoxifying, reducing swelling, reducing inflammation, quenching thirst, and diuresis are of great use.”

"Longevity vegetables? Does that mean you can live a hundred years if you eat them?" Mao Xiaowu looked at the tender green purslane excitedly.

"Huh? Maomao, aren't you a cat demon? I heard that a cat demon with the worst foundation can live for hundreds of years, and you want to live a hundred years? Are you sure you are not cursing yourself?" Yao Yixin smiled and raised her hand I hit Mao Xiaowu on the head with a handful of purslane, "Come on, help young master and I pick wild vegetables together, and I'll cook something delicious for you when I go back tonight!"

"Hey!" Mao Xiaowu touched the itchy forehead from the purslane, and helped to pick it up together with a happy face. The two cooperated and picked a basket full in a short while. I packed a lot of sacrificial paper money, and when I went back, it was full of tender purslane.

Grandma Huang didn't know that purslane was still edible, so she could only help while watching Yao Yixin cook by herself.

The picked fresh purslane should be washed and blanched first to remove the special taste of wild vegetables. Then, sprinkle the sliced ​​purslane with sesame oil, balsamic vinegar, mashed garlic and other seasonings. If you like spicy food, add a spoonful The farmer chopped peppers and made a plate of cold purslane.

Most of the pot of purslane after blanching was left, Yao Yixin chopped it, added meat, ginger, green onion, salt and mixed well to make stuffing, wrapped more than 30 purslane meat buns, the unique fragrance of purslane And chewy, it is even more delicious than vegetable meat buns made with green vegetables. Even Grandma Huang couldn't help calling it delicious after eating it.Grandma Huang and the others lived in the village, so they naturally knew that there were a lot of purslane growing in the mountains and in the fields, so they decided to pick some more tomorrow, and steamed some purslane buns for other families in the village to try. , In the future, everyone will have more wild vegetables that can be eaten blindly.

In the evening, Yao Yixin used purslane to make scrambled eggs with purslane, fried shredded pork with purslane and other seasonal wild vegetables. With the purslane steamed stuffed bun, everyone ate it up.Mao Xiaowu was so stretched that he turned into his original shape, lying on the stone table and letting Uncle Niu help rub his belly.

"Grandma, in fact, we can also take advantage of the spring and summer when the purslane is fresh, pick more and steam it and dry it, and save it for stewing meat in winter, and put some dried purslane, or When steaming the bacon, put some soaked dried purslane under it, it tastes better than fresh purslane." Yao Yixin said slowly while rubbing Mao Xiaowu's belly.

He remembered that when he was a child, before his grandma passed away, he liked to dry the dried purslane every year. The dried purslane looked ugly, but it was very delicious after soaking hair and washing it to steam vegetables. , minced and mixed with lard dregs to make steamed stuffed buns are also very delicious. It is a dried vegetable that you can never tire of eating. In Yao Yixin's heart, it is tied with dried lettuce at the top of the list of favorite dried vegetables!

When it comes to dried vegetables, Yao Yixin feels that it is really necessary for him to develop some ways of making and eating dried vegetables in this time and space. There is no way, now that he is in charge of his own house, he has to be careful in his daily life, and don’t take advantage of the warm weather to dry more dried vegetables. Wait until winter to eat expensive vegetables?

With this idea in mind, Yao Yixin consciously began to distinguish some wild vegetables mixed in the weeds when she went to clean the old house the next day.

Yao’s old house has not been lived in for more than two years, and the courtyard inside has long been abandoned and overgrown with weeds. Yao Yixin even found several flowering pumpkin vines in the backyard near the kitchen, probably the pumpkins left in the yard before. Let Mao Mao keep these pumpkin vines from cutting, so that you can eat old pumpkins in autumn.

The Yao family’s old house is actually not that big, and there are only three rooms in total. The main room and father’s study are in the front, and there are two relatively independent small yards separated by bamboo forests in the middle. One is where the fathers live and the other is Yao Yixin’s. The houses in the family are all two main rooms and two huts. The main room is for them to live in, and the huts are usually used as warehouses or for the servants to live in.The third entrance is the large public kitchen, firewood room and horse shed, because there is a slightly larger yard in the middle, connected by a veranda, so there will be no smell.

Even so, from Yao Yixin's point of view, this is already a mansion. In the time and space he lived in before, only local tyrants could afford to build such a big house, right?Then you have to be powerful, otherwise, who can approve such a large piece of land for private building?It's not building a hotel!

It took five full days before Yao Yixin and the others, with the help of the villagers, cleaned up the entire Yao family's old house. The House God, the Stove Lord, etc., opened the main door.

Standing at the gate, looking at the door plaque written by his father on the "Yao's house" above their heads, Yao Yixin felt her nose was a little sore. It was only two years since she left home, but it seemed like decades had passed!

Sure enough, his home is where his parents are.

In the past two years, it should be considered that the wishes of the parents have been fulfilled.From today on, he, Yao Yixin, will live his own little life. There will be no court disputes, no intrigues between the rich and powerful, guarding this old house and a hundred acres of fertile land, and being carefree all his life, how wonderful!

In fact, he yearned for this kind of life in his previous life, but it is a pity that his family's ancestors were farmers, and the biggest hope of the whole family is that he can get out of the countryside and truly become a decent "urban person" who bears the expectations of generations. I can only study hard so that I can settle in the city.

In fact, only those who have really lived in the city know what is good in the city?There is traffic jam and the air is bad. Although life is convenient, money is needed everywhere. It is really "difficult to move without money", not to mention the unbelievably high housing prices.

If he hadn't time-traveled, Yao Yixin felt that the wild vegetables his parents had been selling for ten years probably wouldn't be enough to make up the down payment for his house, let alone the wedding gift money...

Yao Yixin is actually a very easy-to-satisfy person. Now, with the old house left by his parents, and the 3-acre fertile land in the village belonging to their Yao family, plus the [-] taels of "dowry money" he hid, Yao Yixin I believe that as long as he doesn't risk his life, he can at least live the leisurely life of a rich man in this life.

After half a day of leisurely life, Miss Hua came over. She wanted to ask Yao Yixin what kind of husband she planned to find.Don't think about it, little lady, although their Hua family has many heirs, there are only a few females, and they are all booked out early. Even if they don't get married, they probably won't be able to turn to a farmer like Yao Yixin.
