Chapter 208: Food
Zhou Mingshu didn't know that chicken mushrooms could grow in corn fields, so he looked for them very carefully. In fact, it was mainly the system that played a role.
The corn has grown very tall now, and there are almost no weeds on the ground, so it is not that difficult to find.
As Old Mrs. Zhou said, there were almost no people in the field, only a few old people came over, and like Old Mrs. Zhou, they came to see if the corn had fallen over.
They searched row by row and indeed found some, but this chicken mushroom was not like other mushrooms that could grow instantly.
It needs termite nests, so it has always been relatively rare.
By the time they met up with Boss Zhou and his gang, the group had only found seven or eight chicken mushrooms.
Boss Zhou and his friends were not so lucky and only found four or five flowers this time.
"It doesn't matter. Some of them are good to eat. Let's walk around our fields and then look for them somewhere else. Maybe we can find some more."
Old Mrs. Zhou shook off the mud on the soles of her shoes. The soil here was really sticky to her feet.
He looked at everything he needed to look at in his own corn field, and even straightened up all the corn that had fallen over.
Seeing that there was no one in his second uncle's field, Old Mrs. Zhou took her eldest daughter-in-law there.
We are all family. You can find chicken mushrooms in his fields, and if you encounter fallen corn, you can help him support it.
Old Mrs. Zhou followed her previous memory and found several nests in succession, and got some more or less.
After working around for the whole afternoon, I harvested half a basket of chicken mushrooms.
Among them, there are several flowers with umbrella-like shapes, which are big and beautiful, and are pleasing to the eye.
"We can use this good chicken mushroom to make soup and stir-fry meat with half of it."
Old Mrs. Zhou was busy washing the chicken mushrooms, and left the preparation of dinner to her daughter-in-law.
It started to drizzle outside again, and the air was filled with heavy moisture.
I don’t know if the rain will get heavy.
Thinking of the little donkey in the backyard, Zhou Mingshu put a lot of grass into the trough, and also added some for other livestock.
If the rain gets heavier, these little guys won’t go hungry.
After washing the pot, I will make some food for them.
Because they left halfway through their poetry study in the afternoon, they returned to the house to continue studying.
After a round, everyone only remembered three words: "goose, goose, goose".
It’s so funny!
Zhou Mingshu had no choice but to teach it again to deepen their memory.
They continued studying until it was time for dinner, and only then did they end their lessons for the day.
The dinner was very sumptuous, with both meat and vegetarian dishes, as well as sweet chicken mushrooms.
Everyone crowded into the kitchen and happily finished eating all the delicious food on the table!
"Grandma, I think the Alpinia hortensis will grow again. We still have so many corn fields in our village that we haven't found them yet. Let's wait until it rains before we look for them again."
After hearing what Zhou Mingjie said, everyone at the table laughed.
This boy is a foodie!
"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go look for it. If you can find it, you can have a new dish at home."
Zhou Mingjie nodded and agreed that he would definitely bring Sandan along when the time comes.
This little guy is short and can move freely in the corn field.
Because it was raining, no one went out or came home, so the housework in the yard was done by everyone doing a little bit.
After cleaning up all this, everyone simply washed up and went back to the room to sleep.
Although it was a little dark, it was still early.
Zhou Mingshu lit the oil lamp and sat at the head of the bed to read.
What a rare leisure time!
It’s true, the weather was already a bit chilly because it was raining, and I didn’t expect that it would be still a bit cold without a blanket after nightfall.
Pulling the quilt over himself, Zhou Mingshu read until late at night before going to sleep.
The next morning, everyone woke up early.
The big rooster at home kept crowing, so I couldn't sleep any longer.
Although the weather has completely cleared up, it rained all night last night and the roads are muddy.
A lot of water has overflowed from the river, and it is impossible to go in and fish in the fish basket.
Only two buckets of jelly were made yesterday, and Boss Zhou didn’t plan to go to town.
I plan to peddle my wares in the nearby villages, and then go to the slaughterhouse to buy some goods.
With this rain, the air in Lianglin Village has become better, and the grass and crops have become greener.
All the previous worries disappeared.
But what followed were mosquitoes, one big after another.
When it bites people, it is painful and itchy, and it is not at all merciless.
Old Mrs. Zhou took a shovel and tried to tidy up the peppers, tomatoes and other vegetables in the vegetable garden next door. The onions were all bent crooked by the rain.
Because the sun was out, Zhou Mingshu took a basin to wash clothes. The clothes that had been stored for two days could finally be washed.
When the weather cleared up, she had more things to do and there was not enough time.
Around morning, Boss Zhou harnessed the donkey cart and took Liu and Zhu away.
There were two buckets of jelly in total, and they were sold out in less than two hours. It was very fast.
Boss Zhou had already figured it out in his mind, so he went straight towards the slaughterhouse. This way he didn't have to take a long detour. As soon as the jelly was sold out, they would go buy meat.
There is no shortage of meat or food at home.
Zhou Mingshu planned to ask Old Mrs. Zhou to buy some more cloth.
We should make a few more nice clothes for our family. Besides, my aunt is due to give birth in two months, so we should prepare more things for the little one.
After hanging up the clothes, Zhou Mingshu took a shovel and went to the vegetable garden next door to help Old Mrs. Zhou support the seedlings.
I also shared my little thoughts.
This matter touched the heart of Old Mrs. Zhou, and she also had the same idea.
There is not much work to do in the fields, so when I have some free time I will refurbish the quilts at home. This is a good opportunity to tear out a few new quilt linings.
"Okay, when I have some free time, I'll go to town and buy some more cloth. We don't need those tattered quilts and clothes at home anymore. We'll wear better clothes from now on."
Old Mrs. Zhou knows best how much money the family has.
Not to mention a new set of clothes for each person, even a green-tiled house can be built for each person.
If you don't show your wealth to others, it will easily be stolen, so you have to keep a low profile.
After finishing the work in the vegetable garden, there is nothing to do at home.
We can’t go out, so everyone is just sitting at home doing nothing.
So Zhou Mingshu asked Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi to make bread together.
There are so many things that can be baked.
You can try anything you can think of.
Not only these three, Zhou Mingzhi, Zhou Mingjie and others were also studying food together.
What is the most abundant thing at home? It must be mushrooms.
After cleaning the mushrooms, they broke off the stems, arranged the caps on a baking tray, and put them in the oven to bake.
This is a great idea! The grilled mushroom juice is very delicious.
Zhou Mingshu mixed some batter and made some cookies.
It can satisfy your cravings when you have nothing to do, and at least you won’t have an empty stomach.
I just spent the whole day tinkering with these things.
In short, everyone ate a little bit of this and a little bit of that, and their stomachs were always full, so they were not hungry.
I baked a lot of cookies, both sweet and savory, and they were quite successful.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, it was considered an amazing delicacy.
Bring a jar over and store the cooled cookies in it so they don’t get damp and soften.
It's really inconvenient without a plastic bag...
