Lin Anshu is an ordinary, lowly office worker. The competition in the company is intense, and the boss loves to fine employees and make empty promises. After working diligently for a whole year, sh...
As soon as she got home, Grandma Li started tidying up and cooking.
She made dumplings with shepherd's purse and pork filling.
Add an egg and chopped shepherd's purse with sesame oil to the minced pork, and mix well.
As for other seasonings, such as light soy sauce, salt, and oyster sauce, Grandma Li had already mixed them into the pork.
After the filling was mixed, Grandma Li started chopping the dough into small pieces, and then used a pasta machine to press the dough into dumpling wrappers.
Dumpling wrappers are actually sold in the market.
But Grandma Li always felt that the dumpling wrappers sold outside were not as delicious and chewy as the ones she made herself.
Just as she was busy, the door was opened from the outside, and then a voice came in.
"Mom, what are we having for dinner tonight?"
The people who opened the door were Grandma Li's son, Zhang Peng, and his wife, Sun Yue.
One of them worked at an electrical factory in the county town, and the other taught at a high school in the county town.
Grandma Li came from her hometown to the county town to cook for her daughter-in-law, Sun Yue, who was pregnant.
Otherwise, this couple would either eat takeout or go out to eat every day.
As for why they don't eat in the cafeteria? Apparently, the food there is quite mediocre, and you can even find scraps of scouring pad or dead insects in your food from time to time.
"I've made some dumplings for you. It'll be a while, so you can rest first."
Grandma Li had just finished speaking when she saw her daughter-in-law, Sun Yue, wash her hands and walk in with her sleeves rolled up.
"Mom, let me help you."
"Yueyue, go and rest. Mom doesn't need your help here."
"Dapeng, quickly help your wife inside."
Grandma Li felt that since her daughter-in-law, Sun Yue, was such a sensible and beautiful young woman, she should be pampered as much as possible after marrying into their family.
Not to mention, she's pregnant, and is currently in her first trimester.
We need to be even more careful.
After being kicked out of the kitchen, Sun Yue sat down on the sofa with a smile on her face.
Before long, the dumplings that my mother-in-law and husband had made were served.
The plump, steaming dumplings, once laid out, exude a delicious aroma.
Then, Sun Yue got hungry.
After eating three in a row, Sun Yue finally couldn't help but say, "Mom, these dumplings are really delicious today."
"It tastes at least ten times better than the dumplings sold outside."
"Yes, yes, I think it's delicious too, it smells so good!" Zhang Peng nodded in agreement and then stuffed another one into his mouth.
"Yueyue, eat more if you like it." Grandma Li smiled as she watched her daughter-in-law eat with relish.
A few days ago, my daughter-in-law vomited everything she ate, which made her very distressed.
It's so nice to see her enjoying her food so much today.
"Mom, I want another bowl too!" Zhang Peng said.
"What are you doing here? Eat less, look how fat you've become."
“…” Zhang Peng.
Is he still his biological son?
??????
Not only them, but everyone who bought wild vegetables from Lin Anshu's tricycle and ate them all praised her wild vegetables highly.
Lin Anshu and the others were unaware of these things.
By the time I got home, it was completely dark.
The familiar sound of the tricycle rang out, and Grandma Lin, whose room was closest to the front door, immediately got up, went out, and turned on the light at the door.
Seeing Lin Anshu get off the tricycle, Xu Yi, who was holding her cat stool, also jumped down.
"Xiaoyi, go back quickly. Your mother has probably been worried about you for a long time," Lin's father said gently.
"Goodbye Uncle Lin, goodbye Sister Anshu, goodbye Grandma Lin~"
"You're back? How did it go?" Lin's mother asked as she came out of the kitchen.
"Mom, guess!" Lin Anshu said playfully.
Lin's mother glanced at the tricycle and then spoke.
"What's there to guess? It's obviously sold out."
"Yes, my mom has such good eyesight!"
Stop being silly! Are you hungry? Wash your hands and eat!
Alright!
During the meal, Mr. Lin told Mrs. Lin about the bustling scene when they sold wild vegetables that afternoon, which surprised Mrs. Lin.
"These wild vegetables...are they really selling so well?"
"It's selling well! Some people who missed out looked quite disappointed."
“So, I’ve decided to go dig up wild vegetables to sell tomorrow!” Lin Anshu said.
"sure!"
"But An'an, have you thought about this? Wild vegetables are only available for a short period of time."
"What do you plan to do after the season for eating wild vegetables is over?"
Hearing Lin's mother ask this question, Lin Anshu replied.
"Grow vegetables!"
"There are many vegetables suitable for planting in March, such as lettuce, radish, green beans, cucumber, chives, cilantro, and bok choy."
"Where should we plant it?" Lin's mother pressed.
"Our land is planted with apples, pears, peaches and grapes. Even if we planted vegetables, we wouldn't be able to grow many."
"So, I want to contract land in the village!" Lin Anshu said, revealing her proposed solution.
Only a very small number of young people remain in the village; the rest are either elderly or children.
Because farming requires a large investment but yields little return, coupled with unavoidable natural disasters, many people have gone to work in other places.
There is a lot of abandoned land in the village now.
Even if all else fails, we can develop on the mountaintop.
The mountain that their village is adjacent to still doesn't have an owner.
However, Lin Anshu is currently unaware of the cost of contracting the land.
"Contract land? How many acres do you want to contract?"
"It depends on the price of leasing land. Dad, Mom, do you know how much it costs to lease land in the village?" Lin Anshu asked.
