farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 7

How does she know this?
She is very sure that the Zhang family, the He family, and even the entire Daliang town do not have a kind of sauerkraut made from mustard greens, but there are pickled vegetables. If there are too many mustard greens to grow and the pigs can't finish them, they will use salt to make pickled vegetables , but salt is not cheap, farmers are not endless pickles.

Zhang Xihua was stunned for a moment, since she couldn't figure out the problem, she didn't want to spend time on this meaningless thing.

After half an hour, it was time for the father-in-law and husband to come to eat the morning food.Looking up at the hot sun, Zhang Xihua was non-stop preparing for today's eclipse.

The rice porridge was boiled in a pot when the mustard greens were being processed. At this moment, the water boiled, and the boiling water splashed from the lid of the pot because of the addition of rice. Zhang Xihua quickly lifted the lid and stirred it with a wooden spoon. a while.Today's porridge contains whole grains such as millet, round-grained rice, and sweet potatoes.

Remove some firewood and let the fire simmer slowly.

Wash the mustard leaves and cut them into small pieces. When the porridge is almost cooked, put it in the porridge pot. As for the mustard roots, Zhang Xihua plans to make cold mustard greens.

Slice the peeled rhizomes into slices, then cut them into shreds, put them in a pot for later use, and chop chopped green onions, pepper rings, and garlic heads.

These days, every household brews soy sauce, so there is no need to save soy sauce. She puts the ingredients in a bowl, pours the soy sauce, and adds a few drops of cooking oil to make the sauce.

When all this is done, the porridge is almost ready, put the mustard leaves in, and lift the porridge pot aside to keep it stuffy.

Boil water, take a large bamboo colander and quickly blanch the shredded mustard greens in boiling water, and then run it through cold water again. The drained shredded mustard greens are directly mixed into the prepared sauce, and a cold mustard greens with a good color and flavor is made. up.

It is always a pleasure to cook food for the family with heart.

When sister-in-law He Yuanyuan woke up, it happened that Zhang Xihua had cooked the morning food, so she asked directly: "Sister-in-law, can you lend me the plaster you used last time?"

Zhang Xihua asked: "What's wrong?"

He Yuanyuan said: "There are too many mosquitoes at night, you can see that my arms and face are covered with red dots, my mother is really, she clearly told her to smoke the mosquitoes for me, but she still forgot!"

After finishing speaking, He Yuanyuan rolled up his sleeves and showed his sister-in-law where the mosquitoes had bitten her. She is already a big girl and has reached the age where she can discuss marriage. It is natural for a girl to love beauty, and He Yuanyuan is not happy to be bitten like this by mosquitoes. That's right.

"I'll give it to you later." Zhang Xihua said.My sister-in-law is a girl who was spoiled and raised. She is a little lazy, but she has a straightforward temperament. She always speaks outspokenly, and it's okay if she gets used to it.It's not a matter of principle, but she doesn't mind pampering her sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law! You are so kind." He Yuanyuan said happily.

"Father and mother are coming back soon, let's prepare the dishes first." Zhang Xihua shook her head and said.

He Yuanyuan thought for a while, the ointment was brought by his sister-in-law from her natal home. She always knew that it was very effective in treating mosquito bites. After a busy morning, take a break."

Indiscriminately snatching the bowls and chopsticks from Zhang Xihua's hand, stomping and staring towards the main room...

He Sheng was the last one to visit today, his father-in-law, mother-in-law and sister-in-law gathered around the dining table to start eating. Zhang Xihua thought that he would not come back, so he had already left food for him to send over. He was carrying a hoe and carrying a There are three crucian carp strung together with reed branches.

Seeing Zhang Xihua, he handed over the fish in his hand.Said: "Let's raise the well water first."

The crucian carp is alive and kicking, looking very vigorous.She took it as she said.

It was He Yuanyuan who asked excitedly: "Brother, where did you catch the fish? There aren't many fish now."

He Sheng said: "In the ditch of the lower pit. The crucian carp came out of the water by itself when the water became shallow. I just passed there and saw it."

He Dashuan smoked a dry cigarette, exhaled, and said, "This year's scenery is not good! The river ditch in Xiakeng has not dried up for several years. After Ah Sheng finished his meal, we need to hurry up to water the field."

He Sheng nodded in agreement, at this time Zhang Xihua put the fish away and fetched a basin of water for He Sheng to wash his hands. Hearing the conversation between father-in-law and the others, his heart also became heavy.

He Zeng asked, "Have you fed the pig food?"

Zhang Xihua nodded and said, "It's over."

He Zeng said: "Don't be so busy, sit down and eat."

The meal for the family of five was very appetizing. Mrs. Zhang's skillful craftsmanship and meticulous thought, the same ingredients and seasonings, the food she made always tasted better than others.This is also the reason why He Zeng handed over the family's three meals a day to Zhang so quickly.

Looking at Zhang's behavior these days with cold eyes, He Zeng nodded in satisfaction with this daughter-in-law.

It's just that the appearance is more ordinary, and it can't be compared with Xiangqin's beauty. At the beginning, she fell in love with the daughter of the Zhang family because she has a good temperament, and she is more suitable for a wooden stake like a child.
