Shepherd's purse pancakes, although the white flour is replaced by multi-grain noodles, they are golden in the pot. The burnt aroma is accompanied by the fragrance of shepherd's purse, and it tastes delicious in the mouth. The family had never eaten food made this way, and they were immediately overwhelmed by the tempting taste.
Mrs. Liu kept it in her heart, and said with a smile: "I never thought that bean flour and millet flour can make such delicious food without white flour. Cao'er, is this also the method taught by the gods?"
Yu Xiaocao ate pancakes with relish. He was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately replied: "I don't know, should it? Anyway, it will be when I wake up. It seems that someone told me in my dream that I can dig it now." This kind of shepherd's purse, and these methods of making shepherd's purse—Father, mother, try this shepherd's purse bun, it should taste better than pancakes."
When making shepherd's purse steamed buns, Xiaocao fried tofu and fried chili, and used up a teaspoon of the less than a catty of vegetable oil that grandma sent over, which made Liu's heart ache. In addition to the skin on the outside of the bun, two handfuls of white flour were used. In Liu's opinion, this was a bit too extravagant.
She glanced at the buns in the steamed bun basket, hesitated for a moment, took one and handed it to Yu Hai, and said, "I ate two pancakes and a big bowl of shepherd's purse soup, and I'm already full. Her father, you Eat one and try it, and save the rest for the children—by the way, Xiaolian, go to town tomorrow and send some steamed buns to your brother. By the way, send the baskets and bamboo baskets woven by your father to grocery store."
When Yu Xiaocao pretended to be sick years ago, she hurried to the town with her father. As soon as she heard that she had the opportunity to go shopping in the market town, she immediately volunteered: "Tomorrow, Xiao Shitou and I will go. Xiao Lian is at home, and she can do some embroidery work..."
Yu Hai saw her excited appearance, couldn't bear to let her down, and couldn't help telling: "You can go, pay attention to safety, don't talk too much to strangers...Little Shitou, take care of your sister, don't worry about it." Let her get lost!"
As he spoke, he broke the steamed stuffed bun in his hand into two, and stuffed the bigger one into his daughter-in-law's hands, saying, "Let's all try my daughter's handicrafts. If it tastes good, we can dig more wild vegetables and make steamed stuffed buns in the future." Sell it on the wharf."
Xiaocao nodded repeatedly when she heard that, her father is quite business-minded!
It takes nearly an hour and a half (3 hours) to walk from Dongshan Village to the town. At dawn, Xiaocao was called up by her roommate Xiaolian.
Since the two siblings were going to the town, Xiao Lian got up early and made breakfast to keep them warm for their journey. Breakfast was rotten sweet potato porridge, and the pancakes left over from yesterday were reheated in the pot.
After drinking a bowl full of porridge and eating a pancake, Xiaocao wiped her mouth and said, "I'm full! Little Shitou, hurry up, I won't wait for you if it's late!"
Liu wrapped the remaining three pancakes in cloth for the two children to eat when they were hungry. After thinking for a while, he took out a purse from the bottom of the rattan box, counted twenty copper coins from it, and handed it to Xiaocao, "Here, it's your first time going to the market town, and if you see something you want to buy, just buy some... "
Although the twenty coins were not much, they were extremely precious to the Yu family who only had more than two hundred copper coins left. Twenty Wen can buy more than two catties of white flour, or four catties of mixed flour. Xiaocao didn't want it, but Liu Shi forced it to her, saying: "It's okay, take it! If you can't spend it, just take it back."
Then he turned around and took five shepherd's purse buns for the boss Yu Hang, all wrapped in a cloth bag. Xiao Lian went to her room and took out five purses, and confessed: "You go to the 'Zhenlong Embroidery Workshop', give this to the proprietress, and then buy me some ten-cent silk threads, and keep the rest of the money for you. Buy candy to eat... "
The corners of Yu Xiaocao's mouth twitched a few times, the old lady is already an adult who is about to run to three, don't treat us like a child, okay
Amid thousands of exhortations from the family, the siblings finally embarked on the road to the market town. Not long after leaving the house, he saw Qian Wen carrying a small burden and was sent out by the Mao family.
"Where are you brothers and sisters going?" Mrs. Mao made soup with shepherd's purse yesterday, and it tasted really good. She planned to bring her son and daughter with her today, and go to dig some, and make buns for the children to eat as a tooth sacrifice.
Xiao Shitou showed his snow-white teeth excitedly, and as if afraid that others would not know, he said loudly: "Second sister and I are going to the town to deliver buns to eldest brother!"
Qian Wu, who was behind Mao, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and suddenly became fascinated when he heard it: "Mother, I will also go to the town with Xiaoshitou to play!"
"What are you playing! Be careful of being photographed by Pai Huazi! Go dig wild vegetables with your mother today, or I won't give you food tonight!" Mao shoved Qian Wu, who was twisting his body and playing tricks, into the yard. Then he said to the eldest son: "Be careful on the road, next time when you come back, mother will cook something delicious for you!"
Xiaoshitou looked at Qian Wenyi's outfit and said, "Brother Xiaowen, are you going back to town to study? My second sister and I are going too, let's go together!"
Seeing that Yu Xiaocao was carrying not only a bulging burden, but also three bamboo baskets in one hand and one bamboo basket in the other, Qian Wen took the initiative to take the heavy basket from her hand and said, "Go to town It’s far away, you’ve taken so many things, you won’t be able to move after a while. Let me carry the basket for you.”
"No, no! When I'm tired, I'll carry it with the little stone!" Yu Xiaocao held on to the basket tightly. But after all, her strength was much weaker than Qian Wen's, and he still snatched the basket in his hands in the end. Xiaocao had no choice but to thank him.
Talking about Yu Xiaocao, it's really not material to go a long way. She thought that her body had been improved a lot by Lingshi water, so she should be fine if she walked dozens of miles. It's a pity that she overestimated herself, the things in her hands became heavier the more she walked, and she couldn't move her feet anymore.
Fortunately, Uncle Ma's donkey cart in the next village pulled a few people to the town. Seeing the three children, Uncle Ma greeted them warmly: "Do you want to take a car? I only charge for the three of you."
The three of them soon arrived in the town in a donkey cart. Qian Wen was a little worried about the safety of the siblings, and said softly: "Xiaocao, there are all kinds of people in the town, why don't you come with me to the school to put down your things first, and I will take you to find your brother..."
Yu Xiaocao politely refused: "No need. My brother and I have been to the town before and are familiar with the road. I won't delay Brother Xiaowen's study."
"Goodbye, Brother Xiaowen!" Xiao Shitou waved his hand at him, looking around with big eyes.
Xiaocao took his younger brother to bid farewell to Qian Wen, asked the direction of the grocery store, and planned to send the bamboo basket and bamboo basket there first. The location of the grocery store is a little bit off. The shopkeeper saw the two brothers and sisters coming with the newly woven baskets and bamboo baskets. He looked embarrassed and said:
"Little Lian, here to deliver baskets again! It's not the busy farming season, and the sales of bamboo wares are slow, and the ones delivered last time haven't been sold yet. This time, I won't make things difficult for you, so I will accept them first. Next time... Don't send it."
Xiaocao didn't correct the address of the shopkeeper. After thanking the shopkeeper, she walked down the street silently holding her little brother's little hand, feeling a little depressed. Dad pointed out that weaving some bamboo wares to sell, and the exchange for some copper plates is secondary, the most important thing is that by weaving bamboo wares, he seems to be proving to himself that he is not a waste.
well! It would be great if Dad's leg gets better soon...
When they came to Zhenlong Embroidery Shop, the shopkeeper warmly welcomed the sisters and brothers: "Hey! Xiaolian, I haven't seen her skin become much whiter in a few days, and she is also beautiful. It's really a girl who has changed a lot!"
Yu Xiaocao has already learned that after the current Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, he vigorously promoted "equality between men and women" for a while, but due to various reasons, the policy stopped. However, the status of women has been improved, and women walking and shopping can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. It is not uncommon for a woman to be the proprietress of Zhenlong Embroidery Workshop.
Xiaocao is a little thankful that she has made it to this era. In the future, she will start a small business to subsidize her family, so it won't be too out of the ordinary.
Thanks to my fellow travelers for creating a relatively relaxed environment for her. As for some rumors about the Taizu and the current Holy Master, Xiaocao can be sure that these two are definitely the same as her. Now that there are these two, there may be others.
She doesn't have any big ambitions, but she just wants to silently protect her family, be a happy little peasant girl, come up with some fresh ideas occasionally, and earn a little money. "When a fellow countryman sees a fellow countryman, there are tears in his eyes" does not apply to all the time-traveling colleagues, she does not want to be cannon fodder. It seems that we will be a little more low-key in the future...
"Xiao Lian's craftsmanship is getting better and better. It won't be long before she can surpass your mother. Eh? This time the pattern is very unique, and the color matching is also very novel. I will improve the five purses for you to the same level. The price is the same as your mother's, twenty yuan for a purse. In the future, embroider more purses like this, and I will pay you back the high price!"
In the past, Xiao Lian's purses were collected at fifteen coins each, so she earned an extra twenty-five copper coins. Speaking of which, Xiaocao is also responsible for the tricks this time, but she designed them all.
In her previous life, she was very interested in art. If it wasn't for her parents' accident, she might have entered a special class in high school. After taking over the stewed vegetable shop, when she is free, she likes to draw some flowers and plants to entertain herself. Unexpectedly, after passing through, it can help earn two more money.
After putting the money away, Xiaocao took his younger brother towards the woodware shop. In the carpentry shop, there was still the little guy with eyes reaching the top of his head, sitting on a chair and dozing off with his feet up. Hearing that the siblings wanted to find Yu Hang, they stood up reluctantly and muttered, "Looking for Yu Hang? Didn't that guy go back more than ten days ago? What a trouble!"
When Yu Hang came out, he was wearing the cotton coat that Xiaocao gave him years ago. However, after more than two months, the padded jacket has opened several openings, exposing the white cotton inside. Xiaocao knows that her elder brother is a person who cherishes clothes very much, so the new clothes will not look like this.
