Chapter 0226: Bitter Meat


The next day, Wu Lifang said that it was rare for her to go home and she wanted to spend more time with her mother-in-law.

Anyway, in winter, her eldest sister would deliver food to her restaurant, so the sisters would get together.

Ge Tianling naturally followed his wife.

Ge Caiqian wanted to practice embroidery and Ge Kaizhen wanted to practice medicine.

Neither sister went to Wu Licui's house.

Ge Tianyu was worried that Ge Kaiwu was alone at home.

When he returned to town, only Wu Limei and Ge Kailin followed Wu Licui home.

Wu Licui asked the three Wu Yinrong sisters if they wanted to play.

Wu Yinrong was very polite and said that my aunt was busy with farming and it would not be good for too many people to disturb her.

Wu Yinhua refused very simply, fearing that she would become ugly if she tanned.

Wu Yinwei was more straightforward, just one word: "Go."

After packing her clothes, regardless of Su Qian's objection, she insisted on leaving her maid with her and got into the carriage alone.

Pan was completely relieved.

Of the three granddaughters, the eldest granddaughter is the best at pleasing her and does everything she wants.

The second granddaughter likes to play and laughs heartlessly.

Only the youngest granddaughter sees something wrong with her as a grandmother and takes action without caring about her at all.

No matter whether he is angry or not, he just keeps a small face and goes his own way.

Although he and his third daughter are not biological aunts and nephews, they have very similar temperaments and they are both his nemesis.

Haha, no one cares about me now, I can have fun again.

Ge Kailin discussed with Wu Limei and left Shui Yue and Shui Jue behind, letting them go back to Tan Liuer's house to help.

She just didn't want someone to keep nagging in her ears, be careful of this, be careful of that, and be constrained everywhere to avoid ruining her mood.

Wu Licui's village was far away from Gejiazhuang, and it was originally to make her niece happy.

Wu Licuilan was not in a hurry and let the horse walk at a leisurely pace.

From time to time, she herself explained the crops in the fields to her niece and nephew.

Ge Kailin grew up in the countryside.

Even though she didn't work much, she still recognized many crops, but since Wu Licui was kind, she didn't want to ruin this good mood, not to mention that she really didn't understand many things about farm work.

"Hey," Wu Licui suddenly reined in the horse, got off the horse and pulled out a few weeds on the side of the road.

He came over and handed it to Ge Kailin and Wu Yinwei.

He smiled and said, "Guess what this is?"

Ge Kailin looked carefully and saw that the leaves of this grass were dark green and looked a bit like orchid leaves.

Bilan leaves are straighter and have only two leaves, one is longer and the other is shorter.

Short leaves are enclosed within long leaves.

When Wu Licui was pulling weeds, she had noticed it.

The blades of grass point straight to the sky like swords.

Looking at the roots, they are white in color.

In their natural state, they are in a straight line with the leaves.

There are no forks, just like sugar cane, one section at a time.

There are hairs as thin as hair only at the joints.

Ge Kailin blurted out: "Hey, Jie Gen."

She chewed this stuff a lot when she was little.

People in the village call it knotty roots.

They put the roots into their mouths and bite them.

The juice inside is as sweet as water.

When children play in the fields, they always pull some out as snacks.

Wu Licui said with a smile: "The knotted roots are a vivid image.

This grass is called the root grass.

It can be seen everywhere on the edges of the fields.

The drier the place, the deeper the roots.

This kind of grass usually looks inconspicuous, but it can survive in times of famine."

"Auntie, have you ever encountered a famine?"

This was the first time Wu Yinwei spoke.

"No," Wu Licui shook her head: "I heard the elders in the village talk about it."

Ge Kailin asked: "Auntie, since this grass can survive in times of famine, how does it taste?"

I wonder if he has the same taste as the Jie Gen I know.

Although Wu Yinwei didn't say anything, she still wanted to know based on her expression.

Wu Licui smiled: "You'll know what it tastes if you try it."

There is a way and it can be eaten.

Ge Kailin was excited: "I'll try it first."

I put a stick of Gubencao into my mouth, and sure enough, it tasted very familiar and sweet.

Seeing Wu Yinwei's surprised look, Ge Kailin deliberately smacked her lips: "Fifth cousin, it's so sweet and delicious."

Wu Yinwei looked down at the weeds in her hands, and then at her cousin who was chewing them with gusto, still a little hesitant.

Wu Limei smiled and said: "Yinwei, try it, it is indeed sweet."

Ge Kailin was curious: "Mom, you have eaten it too."

Wu Licui exposed the truth: "Haha, your mother was just as greedy as you when she was little.

Not only this herbal medicine, but also many weeds and fruits that your mother wanted to try.

Once, I took your mother to work in the fields.

Without paying attention, she stuffed the thorny fruit into her mouth, which almost scared me to death.

I quickly slapped her back hard before she spit it out.

Fortunately, the skin was not broken. " Thinking of the scene at that time, Wu Licui was still a little scared.

"Prickly Fruit" Ge Kailin and Wu Yinwei asked in unison.

What is this?

Wu Limei smiled and said: "It is a poisonous fruit.

It is difficult to treat people who accidentally eat it."

Ge Kailin was shocked: "Mom, can you point it out to me so that I don't eat it by mistake?"

Of course she won't eat randomly, but if she recognizes it, she might be able to use it one day.

Wu Licui answered: "It is difficult to find the thorn-skin fruit now.

The imperial court ordered its eradication.

How can you see it in this place where people come and go?"

"Can you tell me about the appearance of the spinach fruit?

If we encounter it, we should be careful."

Wu Yinwei asked.

"Yinwei, have you seen peaches and castor beans?"

Wu Licui asked.

She knew that her sixth brother and his wife were raising their daughter and her niece didn't go to the fields very much.

"I once pestered my father to take me to the fields.

I saw the peach, but I didn't recognize the castor."

"It's okay, just have seen a peach before.

The peach fruit looks very similar to a peach, but it is covered with soft thorns just like the castor fruit."

Ge Kailin played tricks: "Mom, you scared me to death.

If you had really bitten the skin back then, I would never have seen my mother again."

Wu Yinwei laughed happily: "Haha, sister, if the third aunt had bitten the skin back then, where would you be as a sister?"

After walking for a while, Wu Limei stopped: "Sister, look at the bitter meat over there."

The carriage stopped, Wu Licui pulled the reins, and Wu Limei got out of the car.

Wu Yinwei and Ge Kailin followed Wu Limei into the field on the roadside.

I don’t know which family’s farmland it is.

The borders are neat, but the ground is full of weeds.

Wu Limei pointed to a piece of weed that looked like a dandelion: "This is bitter meat.

It purifies the heart and relieves fire.

It can detoxify.

It is best to eat it in the summer."

Ge Kailin squatted down and took a look.

Isn't this the bitter vegetable?

Last time, the old monk made fried noodles with him.

Ge Kailin was naughty and deliberately taught him to put bitter vegetables in.

It was right to clear the fire, but it made the old monk miserable.

When I looked carefully, I felt something was wrong.

The leaves of the bittercress were light and thin, with large jagged gaps on both sides of the leaves.

This grass has smooth blades.

The leaves are thick and thick, really like slices of meat that have been dyed.

No wonder it is called bitter meat.

Wu Yinwei pulled out a tree and held it in front of her eyes to watch.

Frowning, she asked: "Sangu, is this grass very bitter?"

Wu Limei nodded: "It is extremely painful, but it is also a good medicine for interpretation, and it is easy to find."

Ge Kailin asked Wu Limei: "When Aunt Fang cooks, in order to remove the strange smell, she will slightly put the dishes in boiling water.

Can the same be done with this bitter meat?"

Wu Limei smiled and said: "It's okay.

After boiling water, it will just be eaten as an ordinary vegetable and has no medicinal value."

"Sangu, how does the bitter meat taste after boiling water?"

Wu Yinwei was curious.

"It's cool and slightly bitter."

Wu Limei said. oh.

Still bitter Ge Kailin and Wu Yinwei lost interest in the bitter meat and climbed out of the farmland onto the carriage, followed by Wu Limei.

The four of them continued walking.

While walking and stopping along the way, Wu Licui and Wu Limei pointed out some wild animals to the two children from time to time.

As we approach the village.

Wu Yinwei asked Wu Licui: "Auntie, my father said that compared to other families, the daughters of the Wu family don't have to work in the fields.

Why does the aunt still take the third aunt to work?"

Wu Licui pulled the horse that was eating weeds on the roadside back to the right path and said: "I am more than ten years older than your third aunt, and more than twenty years older than your father.

Naturally, your father has not experienced what it was like at that time." scene.

When I was a child, there were servants at home, but unlike today, when we are rich, no matter how busy the farm is, everyone is too busy to work without touching the ground.

Later, when my family became rich, there was no need to work in person, but I have become accustomed to working in the fields. . " Wu Yinwei asked again: "People say that people go to higher places, so is my aunt willing to work in farming?"

Wu Licui smiled: "Your aunt and I are worthless, coveting the simplicity and nature of a small farmer's family, and this is how I will live my whole life."

Ge Kailin secretly sighed, Wu Licui was so hopeless, she was clearly open-minded, pursuing what she wanted, and getting what she wanted.

Wu Licui's yard is a common farmyard, but it is slightly larger than ordinary farmyards.

There are five main rooms, three east wing rooms, and two kitchens next to the east wing room.

There is a row of shorter houses on the west side of the yard where horses and cows are kept, and there are chicken sheds and pig pens on the south side of the yard.

Vegetables are planted in half of the yard, and two pear trees are planted in the middle of the yard.

Their growth is very different.

The tree is strong and tall, with dense branches and leaves, but the fruit on the tree is sparse.

The main trunk of the other tree was broken, and branches grew from the side.

The branches and leaves were sparse, but the fruits on the tree were much denser than the previous one.

Ge Kailin walked around the pear tree and asked: "Auntie, has anyone abused the fruit trees?"

Wu Licui smiled and said: "It's your eldest cousin.

He has been naughty since he was a child.

When he was free, he would play with branches and break the main trunk.

He also pulled the branches into strange shapes.

He also broke some twigs from time to time, but he didn't expect that. , this tree bears more fruit.”

Seeing his wife coming back with her sister-in-law and nieces, Zhou Daquan couldn't react for a moment.

When my daughter-in-law returned to her parents' home yesterday, she said that her parents-in-law were old and they had gone back to their parents' home to stay for a few days while the fields were relatively free.

Why did they come back in just one day?

"Idiot, what are you doing standing around here?

Why don't you go get some food?"

Wu Licui said angrily, Zhang Tieshuan and Zhou Daquan woke up and scratched their heads: "There is no food at home."

"Haha, brother-in-law," Wu Limei teased: "Isn't there food in your yard?

You can't bear to part with it."

"Oh, no," Zhou Daquan's face turned red: "I mean, there is no meat at home."

Wu Licui laughed angrily: "What kind of meat do you want to buy?

It's already dinner time.

It will be dark by the time you buy the meat.

They are all close relatives.

Just make some food and get up early tomorrow morning to buy meat."

"Hehe, let me roll out some lasagna.

I remember you said that Third Sister likes to eat lasagna with kimchi, and then make some fish paste for Yinwei and Kailin, and pour it with day needle eggs, okay?"

Zhou Daquan smiled naively.

"Whatever you cook will be delicious, but you have to hurry up and don't starve the children."

In front of her sister and juniors, Wu Licui did not hesitate to praise her husband.

Zhou Daquan went to the kitchen, and Ge Kailin asked Wu Licui quietly: "Auntie, didn't you say that a gentleman is far away from the kitchen?

How come my uncle can still cook?

Are you bullying good people?

Isn't it that my uncle usually cooks?"

Wu Licui laughed so hard she laughed: "Haha, how can you, little man, come up with these weird words?

We are just living our lives.

Anyone who is free and convenient can cook.

Don't overeat later.

Your uncle made the rubs."

The fish is delicious, elastic and chewy. ” The meal was ready in a short while.

As Wu Licui said, the fish was both chewy and elastic, and was rolled thinly, almost into a cylinder.

Ge Kailin had a free taste of the ancient version of macaroni.

Oh, also, unfortunately, Wu Licui’s words made Ge Kailin feel full again.

Wu Yinwei also touched her belly from time to time, and it seemed that she had eaten a lot.

Wu Limei also ate half a bowl more than usual.

Ge Kailin thought to herself, no wonder most of the chefs were men.

Those with strong hands would cook differently.

After dinner, Zhou Daquan asked his wife to have a good rest at home with his sister and children.

He put a hemp rope into the rattan basket, picked up the basket and prepared to go out.

Wu Yinwei asked: "Uncle, do you want to work in the fields?"

"Well, the grass has grown in the ground."

"Uncle, can I go with you?"

"No, the sun is very poisonous right now.

Don't let it burn you."

"It's okay.

I came here just to learn farm work."

Ge Kailin was about to fall asleep, but she became energetic after listening to the conversation: "I'll go too."

Wu Li Cuile: "Haha, what are you doing?

You haven't grown up yet."

It's possible.

The growth we saw along the way, not to mention that Ge Kailin was only five years old, even Wu Yinwei, who was eight years old, might have been submerged in the ground.

Seeing her daughter's face wrinkled into a bun, Wu Limei felt distressed: "It's okay, I'll just go with you."

I originally came here to relax with my daughter.

Zhou Daquan wanted to stop him, but Wu Limei smiled: "Brother-in-law, if you continue to push the envelope, just prepare dinner directly.

Sister, I haven't eaten the fried dumplings for a long time."

"Pah," Wu Limei was lightly slapped on the back by Wu Licui.

Wu Licui said angrily, "You are still so naughty after decades of age."

Zhou Daquan scratched his head: "Hehehe, I will go to town to buy meat when I get up early tomorrow, and I will have fried dumplings for lunch."

Well, the uncle blushed, and the aunt said that her mother was naughty and gossipy.

There was definitely gossip, and Ge Kailin's heart lit up.

When she came to this world, this was Ge Kailin's first real contact with the fields.

On a whim, she refused to walk on the good field paths and pulled Wu Yinwei to step into the grass on the side.

She looked back at the small holes in the grass that she had stepped on.

Hao, Ge Kailin giggled.

As the fun got more intense, Wu Yinwei changed from passive to active, and in turn took Kailin with her, either catching grasshoppers or chasing toads, leaving her laughing all the way, and even running until her face turned red without feeling tired.

The adults in the back looked funny.

Ge Kailin was usually like a little adult, and Wu Yinwei always had a straight face.

Only now did the two of them really show the naughty nature of children.

When they arrived at the ground, Wu Licui took out the handkerchief she had prepared in advance, and as soon as she wrapped her hair, Ge Kailin plunged into the ground, frightening Wu Limei to scream in surprise and chase after her.

Most of the Miaos are taller than their daughters.

The daughters have never done farm work and are not stable when walking.

What if they fall or get scratched?

After entering, Ge Kailin couldn't walk fast because of the branches, so she followed Wu Limei and squatted down to pull weeds
