While Lu Jiang was busy in the kitchen, Feng Qingxue did not really go to rest, but went into the west wing to sort out the wild vegetables and Chinese herbal medicines that the children had picked today, classifying them one by one and cleaning the dirt and impurities on them.
Lu Tianzhi, Guan Yu and Feng Qingyun followed closely to help.
Although they were young, they could recognize dandelions, mugwort, and leeks, and picked them out and separated them one by one.
Feng Qingyun sat on the domino stool, and her tender little hands carefully picked off the dead leaves at the roots of the dandelions, and then put them into the basket beside her. "Sister, when can we have a meal of dandelion porridge? Just like you used to make."
"Aunt, isn't dandelion bitter? I just don't like to eat it! It's so bitter." Guan Yu's little face wrinkled.
He had to eat a lot of bitter wild vegetables when he was a child!
"It's not bitter!" Feng Qingyun replied, "My sister makes it very delicious. I can drink two big bowls in one breath!"
As she spoke, she raised two fingers towards Guan Yu.
“Is it really delicious?”
"Really!" Feng Qingyun nodded his head vigorously, "Sister put peanuts in the porridge and also beat frangipani flowers."
After hearing this, Guan Yu bit his lower lip with his white teeth and struggled. After a long while, the desire in his heart finally prevailed. He turned his head to look at Feng Qingxue and stammered, "Aunt, I'm going to dig up a lot of motherwort tomorrow. I also want to drink the porridge made with peanuts and frangipani. It's so delicious!"
"Count me in!" Lu Tianzhi said immediately, "Aunt, I want to try it too!"
The result of going hungry is that the children have an extremely strong desire for food.
Because they have a particularly close relationship with Feng Qingxue, the two younger ones are less restrained in what they say and often express their true thoughts compared to the older Lu Tianjun and Lu Tianzhi who seldom make requests of Feng Qingxue.
Feng Qingxue couldn't help laughing after hearing their childish talk. In fact, if the motherwort is boiled in water, it will definitely not taste good, and it will be bitter and astringent. It is a good medicine for clearing away heat and detoxification. How many ingredients did she use to make the porridge? Oil, salt, peanuts, eggs, flour, this is how the delicious vegetable porridge in her sister's mouth was made. That is the way to make it in the 21st century when materials are abundant.
"Okay, when you come back from digging up the motherwort tomorrow, I'll make you some porridge."
"Yes!" The three little heads nodded like chicks pecking at rice, "We must go dig dandelions!"
Feng Qingxue secretly congratulated herself on having brought back more than twenty eggs today.
The Lu family doesn't raise chickens, but if she plans to raise a flock, she will have to wait until next spring when the hens from her neighbors' homes start to lay eggs.
Only when a hen sits on a nest can the eggs hatch and chicks be born.
The road from the city to Wanglou Brigade was very bumpy. Six of the twenty or so eggs brought back were broken. Lu Jiang picked them out separately, beat them into a bowl, and prepared to stir-fry some green peppers and eggs. The remaining eighteen intact eggs were put into a basket specially used for eggs in the cupboard.
Lu Jiang was aware of Feng Qingxue's situation. After his nephew carried the bamboo basket into the kitchen, he found an excuse to send them out.
After seeing the supplies in the bamboo basket, Lu Jiang secretly congratulated himself for his foresight.
