Chapter 93 Uninvited Guests
Since Miss Su arrived at the farm, Niu Dali could see that she was a very kind person and had no airs at all.
Even when he was treating Ma just now, he did not despise her family situation at all, which shows that he is a kind-hearted person.
Farmers in the farm usually depend on the few acres of land they rent to make a living. If the owner of the farm is kind, life will be better, but if he is a mean one, life may be difficult to survive.
Niu Dali is the head of the village. He has to consider the interests of the master, but he also has to consider whether the farmers can survive. Naturally, he also hopes that a gentle and kind master will come.
Right now, Miss Su is a rare good host.
Niu Dali was looking forward to it very much, hoping that Su Yujin could become the new owner of their farm.
When Shopkeeper Sun heard Niu Dali ask this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Su Yujin also smiled with her lips pursed.
Niu Dali felt a little confused by the laughter of the two people, so he just reached out to scratch his ears.
Why are you laughing? Was he wrong in what he said? Shopkeeper Sun reached out and patted Niu Dali on the shoulder, "If Miss Su didn't want to buy it, why did you say so much and why did you have to do so many things?"
Niu Dali finally reacted, scratching the back of his head and laughing, "Yes, yes, Miss Su just said it was our farm. Look at my wooden brain, I can't react."
"I've always been a little slow, please don't be offended, Boss. I can still do my job well..."
Hearing that Niu Dali had changed his address to "boss" from "Miss Su", Su Yujin smiled and said, "Niu Zhuangtou is down-to-earth. I feel relieved."
"I will go to the shopkeeper Sun to handle the formalities of buying and selling the farm in the next few days. After I finish these, I will come back to talk about the future planning and development of the farm."
The people in this farm are nice, but the overall management is still a bit conservative.
"Okay, I'll wait for the boss to come." Niu Dali was very happy to see Su Yujin agreed. He nodded repeatedly and said, "It's getting late now. It's rare for the boss and Manager Sun to come. If you don't mind, we can have lunch at home."
"Then I am sorry to bother you."
Su Yujin and Manager Sun had originally planned to have dinner at the farm, and now that Niu Dali had invited them, they naturally did not refuse.
Niu Dali was overjoyed to see that they agreed. He asked his wife Zhang to slaughter a young rooster that had been raised at home for more than half a year, and stewed it in a big pot with potatoes, dried mushrooms, dried black fungus, etc., and ate it with cornmeal and Erhe flour flatbreads.
Zhang's cooking skills are limited, but the advantage of this dish is that the meat of the little rooster is tender and fresh, and the various wild vegetables are all picked by his family and of good quality. In addition, many people gathered together to eat, and the atmosphere was excellent. Su Yujin and others also enjoyed the meal with relish.
After lunch, Su Yujin went for a walk in the fields again, looked at every corner of the fields, and chatted with Niu Dali about many things about the farm. Seeing that the shepherd's purse in the fields was growing very well, she asked Niu Dali to borrow a shovel and a bamboo basket to dig shepherd's purse.
Qingkui used to be a farmer and was very familiar with wild vegetables like shepherd's purse, and he could dig them quickly and well.
As for Ai Cao, since she had been a maid in a wealthy family since she was a child, she was not very familiar with shepherd's purse, so she had to learn it from Qingkui.
"Is this thing really edible?" Ai Cao looked at the emerald green in the bamboo basket and took a freshly dug shepherd's purse and examined it carefully for a long time. "It doesn't look fresh and juicy. It doesn't look very delicious."
"It's just the beginning of spring, and it's not time for growth yet. These are considered to have grown in winter. But if it gets warmer, the shepherd's purse will become old and inedible. We can only eat other wild vegetables."
Qingkui said, "This shepherd's purse is not very popular among these wild vegetables, because it doesn't grow big and gets old easily. It's not as good as the gray-gray vegetable when you dig it up. Noodle plants and the like can be found everywhere, and the dumplings made from it when you dig it up are not as delicious as the gray-gray vegetable."
"But the girl is a good cook, and she specifically asked for shepherd's purse. I think if this dish falls into the hands of the girl, it will become more delicious?"
"Maybe..." Ai Cao was not sure.
After all, it was wild vegetables, something that she would never choose if she had any food. Even if the girl was a good cook, she couldn't make a meal without rice. How delicious could it be? I guess the girl was tired of the common vegetables she ate every day, so she wanted to change her taste.
Just like her, there are times when I eat too much meat and fish and want to eat some light porridge and side dishes.
Ai Cao thought so and just followed Qingkui to look for wild vegetables.
When Niu Dali saw that Su Yujin seemed to like shepherd's purse very much, he simply found a few smart and capable children from the farmers, and asked his own children to help dig shepherd's purse together.
Because of everyone's help, and the hard work of Su Yujin and others, when the sun set and the group walked back, Su Yujin's carriage was loaded with two large baskets full of shepherd's purse.
"Miss Su, are you going back to make some dumplings?" Shopkeeper Sun was also very curious when he saw the green shepherd's purse.
"Where is it? Let's go back and make dumplings and wontons to eat." Su Yujin said, "This shepherd's purse is better than leeks for making stuffing. When we have finished making dumplings at home, we will send some to Shopkeeper Sun."
Dumplings and wontons stuffed with wild vegetables?
This is the first time I've heard of this.
But since Su Yujin did this and looked very proud of it, I think the dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse must be very delicious.
Su Ji's food is well-known, and Huibinlou is doing a booming business. Shopkeeper Sun also knows that Su Yujin's cooking skills are good. When he heard her say this, he nodded quickly and said, "Then I will brazenly agree to it."
After the carriage returned home, Su Yujin hurriedly instructed Ai Cao and Liu Mama to pick and wash shepherd's purse, chop the meat filling, and knead the dough to roll out dumpling skins.
Soak shepherd's purse in salt water to remove the astringent taste, then blanch it in boiling water, chop it into pieces and mix it with the meat filling. Add various seasonings as usual, and the meat filling is ready.
There was enough shepherd's purse and the meat filling was chopped enough. Su Yujin and the other two were busy making dumplings. They were also busy delivering the dumplings to the shopkeeper Sun, the kitchen of Huibinlou, and Su Ji.
Su Yujin prepared the remaining ones for the three of them to have as dinner in the evening.
If there is any left, you can make fried dumplings the next morning.
When all the dumplings were wrapped, the water in the pot boiled, and the little white geese floated up in the pot, the faint fragrance also drilled into the nostrils along with the hot air.
Ai Cao was drooling with greed, and was wondering whether it would be better to have two or three bowls of food later.
And at this moment, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the house.
Those of you who have monthly tickets can vote for me. Let me save up some manuscripts for a few days before adding more chapters. (End of this chapter)
