Qian Wu also went up to him, poked the pheasant in his hand, and said, "Brother Zhao Han, can you give me some feathers from this pheasant? My sister always pesters me and asks me to get her a feather." Shuttlecock with pheasant feathers..."
Xiao Shitou chuckled and said, "It's not that you boasted that you have the ability to catch pheasants. Is the cowhide blown up? Can't clean it up? Come to Zhao Han for help again..."
"Smelly stone, can you save some face for my brother, no matter what, I am two years older than you. Do you know how to respect the elderly and respect the virtuous?" Qian Wu yelled angrily, and the two little guys started fighting again. Noisy, very lively.
"Father, we're back!" Xiao Shitou shouted excitedly before he entered the door, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he had returned home in triumph.
Yu Hai, who was busy weaving bamboo baskets in the yard, heard the commotion in front of the door, raised his head, and said in surprise, "Xiaowen, Xiaowu, Hanzi, why are you here? Xiaolian, move a stool for the guests..."
Qian Wen gently prevented Yu Hai from standing up, and said with a smile, "Uncle Dahai, there's no need, Xiao Wu and I will go back now. Xiaocao, where do you put this basket of wild vegetables?"
Xiao Lian put down her embroidery work, looked at the basket full of wild vegetables in surprise, and whispered: "Dig up so many wild vegetables? I didn't know that wild vegetables can be picked at this time of year!"
Yu Xiaocao commanded bluntly: "Just put it in the kitchen... By the way, brother Xiaowen, you can also take some back to make soup, it tastes delicious!"
"No, no! There are still a lot of vegetables in my cellar, and there are vegetables to eat at home..." Qian Wentui refused.
But Qian Wu stared at the shepherd's purse in the vegetable basket, and said sincerely: "In the cellar, there are only radishes and cabbage, and I'm already tired of eating... Brother, we also helped dig a lot of wild vegetables today, so it's okay to take some back. "
Qian Wen gave him a helpless look and refused, but Xiaocao had already helped him pack the vegetables quickly. She divided one of the baskets of shepherd's purses piled up to a point into two small baskets, stuffed one into Qian Wu's arms, and prepared the other basket for Zhao Han to take back to try something new.
"Uncle Hai, today I trapped two hares and three pheasants. Daddy asked me to send one to you." Zhao Han put the pheasant with its wings tied with a straw rope in front of the kitchen door, and turned around to go back.
Leaning on a cane, Yu Hai limped over and said, "Why did you come here from prey again? These days, you have sent enough things. You didn't keep much money from selling bears last time." , gave it all to us. Go back and tell your father, you don’t owe me anything!"
Zhao Han's mouth moved, Ying Ting frowned slightly, and said, "Didn't you get any money for selling bears? You should know that, my father should quietly give it to Uncle Hai, you and your aunt... "
Yu Xiaocao curled her lips and said, "Everyone in the village knows that your family got three hundred taels from selling bears. If grandma didn't receive the money you sent, she would have gone to your house to make a fuss. Even if you gave it to father, grandma would squeeze it away." Yes. Grandma is not relative, so that’s all. Dad is grandpa’s real son, and he actually helped grandma hide it from us... "
"Cao'er! How did you organize the elders? Is that what your father taught you?" Yu Haigai interrupted his daughter's words with a high voice.
Xiaocao bit her lips, and said unconvinced: "They can do it, why are they afraid of people talking about it? It's the fault of grandparents in the first place! Three hundred taels of silver, even if we give us one-tenth, it won't be so bad that we don't want to lose money every day. When cooking with bean noodles, you have to count the portion!"
Yu Hai's eyes dimmed, he sighed deeply, and said: "It's my father's useless, let you suffer with my father..." Saying this, he limped back to the main house.
Xiao Lian looked at her stubborn younger sister and her father's lonely back, hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Sister, I buried a sweet potato for you in the ashes under the stove. You can pick it up later. Eat it up..." Before he finished speaking, he chased his father into the house.
Everyone in the family knows that Xiaocao tends to be hungry at noon, so every morning after cooking, he buries a sweet potato in the ashes under the stove. Compared with multigrain cakes and bean soup, Xiaocao prefers sweet roasted sweet potatoes. She kept all the sweet potatoes that grandma brought over last time, even the little stones were reluctant to eat one.
Qian Wen stood in embarrassment, coughed twice, and said, "Xiaocao, we've been out for a while, and it's time to go back." After speaking, he pulled the dull Qian Wu out of Xiaocao's house.
Zhao Han also planned to take the opportunity to leave, but Xiaocao stopped him and said, "Thank you for the pheasant you sent. My father said, don't send prey over here again. Forget it this time. If there is another time, I will send it to you." I went back. This is the wild vegetable we dug up today, take it back to Uncle Zhao to try something new."
Zhao Han didn't refuse, took the basket and said, "I'll bring the basket back to you tomorrow."
Only Xiaocao and Xiaoshi were left in the yard, staring at each other. Xiaoshi secretly glanced at the second sister, and whispered: "Father seems to be really angry. You go in and accompany him. Daddy loves you the most. I won't spank you!"
When Xiaoshi was mischievous, his father would always press him on his knees and slap his buttocks hard. Yu Hai was used to work, and his hands were strong, and he would often beat Xiaoshishi until he hugged his buttocks and cried. Little Shitou is most afraid of his father's five-finger fan!
Yu Xiaocao let out a long sigh, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and went into the room to admit her mistake to her father. Seeing that she had a good attitude, Yu Hai couldn't bear to scold her anymore. Even if this matter is exposed.
Yu Xiaocao prepared the dinner by herself, and Xiao Lian just stood by to help. She asked Xiao Shitou to go to the village, bought tofu worth a penny, made shepherd's purse tofu soup, multigrain shepherd's purse cake, and made a few shepherd's purse buns mixed with flour.
Thinking of the steamed buns Qian Wen gave her at noon, Xiaocao wrapped three shepherd's purse buns with the cloth used to wrap the steamed buns, and asked Xiao Shito to deliver them to Qian's family.
It was Qian Wen's mother Mao who opened the door. When she saw the cloth bag in Xiao Shitou's hand, she couldn't help muttering in her heart: Isn't this the cloth she used to bring steamed buns for her son? How did it get into this kid's hands? My son went out for so long today, did he not eat the steamed buns and gave them to others
She knew about the situation of Yu Hai's family. After being separated for so many days, the food they got was probably running out. Could it be that their family saved their morning meal, and their son was kind enough to leave the steamed buns for the hungry little stone
Thinking of this, Mao forced a smile on his face, and said, "Hey! Isn't this the cloth towel I used to wrap Wen'er's dry food? How did it get into your hands?"
No, in the future, let the two sons stay away from the third sibling of the Yu family. Their family's wealth can't afford to make up for it!
Xiao Shitou didn't hear what she said, and said with a smile: "When digging wild vegetables, my second sister was hungry, and Brother Xiao Wen gave her the steamed buns he brought to satisfy her hunger. The second sister said, I am sorry to eat your home. Let me send some shepherd's purse steamed buns for Brother Wen and Brother Xiao Wu to try."
With that said, he opened the cloth bag, revealing the soft bun inside.
When Mao saw the three steamed buns mixed with white flour, he knew to give one to each of his three children. She felt ashamed for her narrow-mindedness just now, she hurriedly pushed the cloth bag back, and said: "Your family is not easy, these buns, you should keep these buns for your siblings to eat! Didn't you bring shepherd's purse over in the afternoon? Tomorrow We pack our own…”
Xiao Shitou shook his head, and said, "Aunt Qian, my second sister's craftsmanship is really good, you guys can't beat this taste!"
Holding the steamed stuffed bun, he bypassed Mao's, ran towards the house, and shouted: "Brother Wu, I'm eating steamed stuffed buns, delicious shepherd's purse steamed stuffed buns!"
When Qian Wu, who was eating millet bread in the room, heard it, he rushed out, snatched the cloth bag from Xiao Shishi's hand, picked one up bluntly, and bit down.
Xiaocao put fried tofu in the shepherd's purse stuffing, and chopped up the dried fish secretly sent by my sister-in-law to make it fresher. Due to the lack of seasoning at home, she fried the dried chili and ground it into powder. The fried chili was delicious and added a lot of color to the buns.
Generally, when people make vegetarian buns, they are reluctant to add oil, and the only seasonings are salt and green onions. How could Qian Wu have such delicious buns? He didn't care that he couldn't eat spicy food, so he bit down one bite after another, half of the buns in his hand disappeared after a few bites. Xiao Shitou anxiously reminded: "Don't eat alone, there are Brother Xiaowen and Avon!"
Qian Wu was so hot that his nose and tears flew straight, he kept sucking his mouth, and praised repeatedly: "It's so delicious! It's really enjoyable!! Little Shitou, your mother's craftsmanship is really good, let my mother learn it tomorrow... "
"Stinky boy! I think your mother's cooking is not delicious, so don't eat my cooking in the future!" Mao slapped his youngest son on the back of the head, scolded with a smile, snatched the cloth bag from him, and said, "Xiang Xiao Did Shitou thank you? I only know how to eat, and I won’t give your brother a taste!”
After Mao approached, she smelled a tempting aroma of shepherd's purse, mixed with the burnt aroma of fried peppers, and she couldn't help swallowing secretly.
As soon as the buns came out of the pot, he was sent to deliver the buns. Seeing Qian Wu eating steamed buns just now, Xiao Shitou's stomach couldn't help but growl in protest. Seeing that the task was completed, Xiao Shitou greeted him, turned around and was about to run away.
Qian Wen chased after him, stopped him, and said, "Go back and tell your second sister to thank her for the buns. Also, the basket has been vacated, so you can take it back by the way. If you go digging shepherd's purse tomorrow, don't forget Come and say hello."
Little Shitou took the basket he handed over, agreed, and ran back with his calves. There are delicious food at home calling him. Behind him, the little roe deer also galloped happily.
Xiaocao's craftsmanship won the praise of the whole family. In the shepherd's purse tofu soup, the green shepherd's purse and the soft white tofu complement each other, making people appetizing just looking at it. In this soup, Xiaocao also uses small dried fish to grind into powder to enhance freshness, and the effect of replacing dried shrimp is not bad at all in terms of taste.
