Chapter 39: Potatoes and Beans
Xu Zhixin was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
"That can't be said, after all, we still have Xu Lanhe.
He also works every day, but you have a bigger family and work more."
Liu Yunshuang didn't want to analyze anything, what she said was all the truth.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
The two children are not young anymore, Xu Zhinian is fifteen years old and Xu Zhixin is thirteen years old. They must have an idea of what is going on.
Moreover, Du Ruohong is such a smart person that she would never let herself suffer any loss.
The bell for work rang and the two children left quickly.
They also continued to dry the sweet potatoes. There were still quite a lot of them, and it would probably take a long time.
"Mom, how are we going to eat the beans my second sister and her friends brought over?"
Yes, the two children also gave them beans.
"Tonight, Mom will make you something delicious."
"Okay~"
The children were all very excited, and Xu Zhiyi started to go back to take a nap.
They continued to work, and the puppy would get up and run around from time to time.
We dug up a lot of sweet potatoes yesterday and it took me a whole day to finish them all.
All the things in the house that can be used for drying were taken out.
Above the window, there is a patch of yellow and orange, which looks pleasing to the eye.
Liu Yunshuang kept her word and picked up the beans by cutting off the heads and tails.
I went to the backyard again and dug out three potatoes.
The potatoes have grown a little bigger in the past two days, so she thought she should take it easy and pick the sweet potatoes in the front yard first.
Come and dig these potatoes. The stove has been busy today.
Afraid that it would be too hot to sleep at night, I kept burning the open-air pot outside the east room.
By next year, we will still need to build a small pot in this yard.
In the summer, when cooking, you don’t have to use a big pot.
Let's just make do with it this year! However, Xu Zhiqing and Xu Zhili were still asked to roll up the kang in the east room.
If the temperature is too high, it will easily get burnt.
Peel the potatoes and cut into finger-thick strips.
After washing off the excess starch with water, drain them together with the beans.
Heat a little oil in a pan, add both vegetables and stir-fry.
"Mom, why is there so much oil?"
Xu Zhiqing couldn't believe it, as many people usually cook without adding oil.
He put it in one or two drops at a time. Wow, Liu Yunshuang directly put three spoonfuls in.
This is too luxurious.
"It's okay. Just fry these vegetables and you can use the rest."
Knowing that her daughter was distressed, she quickly explained.
Potatoes and beans are sizzling in the pan.
After the surface has become tiger skin-like, it can be taken out of the pot.
"Mom, is this done?"
"Not yet, Zhili, take your sister out."
"Okay~"
Although he really wanted to see what would happen next, he still had to obey.
Otherwise, if Xu Zhiyi was here and got splashed with oil, it would be the end of him.
Pour out the excess oil and put some chopped green onions in the pot.
Then throw in the potatoes and beans, stir-fry for a few times, sprinkle with salt and add a little soy sauce.
The little taste came up with a "click".
“Wow, it smells so good!”
Even Xu Zhiqing couldn't help but praise it.
"Don't worry, I'll let you eat enough later."
I even made rice specially for this delicious dish.
When the food was served, the three children drooled.
Even Da Zhuang ran to the table for the first time.
"Stop looking at it and try it now~"
"Mom, you eat first. You've worked hard."
Liu Yunshuang looked at Xu Zhili with a smile in her eyes.
"Okay, I'll eat first~"
Perhaps this is the only desirable thing about the Xu family.
Every time they eat, Grandma Xu has to pick up her chopsticks first before others can eat.
She said that she was the elder and there would be no order without rules.
Apparently, the tradition continued.
Liu Yunshuang picked up a piece of potato, took a bite, and found it tasted really good.
"It's delicious, eat quickly."
The three children were looking at her, and became excited when they heard what she said.
She also quickly picked up a piece and fed it to Xu Zhiyi.
“Wow, this is delicious.”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Xu Zhili's eyes lit up; this smell was clearly beyond his understanding.
"It's really delicious, mom, you're amazing."
"That's right, our mom is the best."
The two people began to cheer, and even Xu Zhiyi said, "Great."
It seems that no matter whether selling vegetables can work or not.
She will have to plant more next year, at least her children like to eat it.
Liu Yunshuang was also very happy. She went to weave some basket bottoms before it got dark.
Now the firewood has been placed in the shed, and the sweet potatoes are being dried in the yard.
If the weather stays this hot, it will be ready in two days.
It happened that she could weave baskets during this middle day. If she waited until the willow branches dried up, they would be useless.
In order to prevent this problem from happening, she would sprinkle some water on it every day.
On the third day, collect all the sweet potatoes and start digging out a new batch.
After four rounds of this, there is not much left in the sweet potato field at home.
Their dried sweet potatoes already filled up a big bag.
"Mom, didn't you say you were going to the market to buy curtains? Tomorrow is the 15th."
"Really? The days go by so fast."
If you count it up, it has been more than half a month since she was reborn.
Hearing their conversation, Xu Zhili hurried over.
"Mom, let us go with you.
I want to go to the market, too. My sister has never been there either."
Liu Yunshuang narrowed her eyes. This kid is full of tricks.
"I think if you want to go, don't use your sister as an excuse."
Even though he was exposed, he didn't get angry. Instead, he pulled her sleeve with a playful smile.
"Mom, please take us there. I've never been there either.
I heard the market is fun, selling everything, I dream of going there.”
"Okay, let me go, I'm working."
Hearing this, Xu Zhili quickly let go.
"Zhili, it's still six miles to Qingyang Town.
Your butt is just starting to scab over. If you sweat or get bumped, all your hard work these days will be wasted.
Besides, we have all these delicious foods at home, but no one is at home, are you at ease?"
Liu Yunshuang asked him directly instead of giving him an order.
Sure enough, Xu Zhili shook his head.
A little disappointed and dejected.
"Well, these foods were hard to save up.
You guys stay at home and watch him. Next year, when Da Zhuang grows up, I will take you there.”
"real?"
"Of course, once Da Zhuang can take care of himself, we can go out naturally."
“That’s great~”
Xu Zhiqing also became excited and was looking forward to this grand gathering.
Liu Yunshuang was also impressed that the two children had become much more sensible.
"You have to be careful at home and don't let anyone take your things away."
