Chapter 470 Chive Box 2
Wang Cuilan was fine, as she had been marching and fighting for many years and it was extremely hard. But Chen Xuenniang grew up in a brothel and had been living and working in the city since liberation. She was very curious about everything in and out of the Lu family, so after drinking some water, she followed Feng Qingxue to the private plot.
The spring chives sprout early, and they are cut in the breeze and snow and put into the basket.
"We'll have leek dumplings for lunch, and we'll take the remaining leeks back to the city. Sister Chen, you can take some too."
Chen Xueniang smiled and thanked him, then pointed to the ridges of earth on the ground and said, "It's covered with straw mats. What's buried underneath?"
Feng Qingxue glanced back and said, "Ground beans are potatoes. Potatoes have a high yield and are good for hunger. Every household will plant most of their private plots with them. It's the right time to plant them now."
"Hey, why are there whole heads of garlic planted in your field?" Chen Xuenniang noticed the garlic seedlings that Feng Qingxue was pulling out.
Compared to the thick, fat, tall and strong garlic sprouts around them, the garlic sprouts in Feng Qingxue's hand are thin and long.
"We planted the whole head of garlic because we were planning to eat it now. The garlic seedlings that sprouted are relatively small. The ones we planted by cloves last year are too old to be eaten, but we can check whether the garlic stalks have sprouted." Feng Qingxue explained.
The garlic sprouts did grow, but not many, only about twenty or thirty sparsely.
Feng Qingxue pulled them out one by one and picked a bunch of lettuce leaves, "Sister Chen, let's go!"
The mother and her two daughters were busy selecting vegetables and kneading dough.
Feng Qingxue picked up a handful of the leeks and shook them again and again to get rid of as much water as possible. She shook all the leeks like this, then chopped them up and mixed them with some scrambled eggs. While stirring the leek stuffing, she said, "Pick and wash the leeks, and let them air dry for a day. Now we're going to make leek dumplings, and there will definitely be a lot of water in the dish."
Even so, the chive dumplings she made were praised by everyone.
There were fried garlic sprouts and lettuce leaves on the table, but no one picked up their chopsticks to eat them. They were all busy eating the leek dumplings.
"Sister, aren't you going to send it to Uncle Lu and the others?"
Feng Qingxue touched her sister's head and said, "Silly girl, we all work together and eat together. Wouldn't it make people gossip about you if you send them leek dumplings? Leave a few for them in the cupboard and eat them when they come back in the evening. But you can send one to your cousin."
Wang Jiao must have stayed at home and not worked on the pretext of taking care of Goudan.
Speak of the devil and he will appear. Wang Jiao was knocking at the door. She knew Feng Qingxue would come back once a week and always brought her delicious food as compensation for not being able to take her to the state-owned restaurant for dinner.
Lu Tianjun opened the door and Wang Jiao came in holding the dark-skinned Goudan. Feng Qingxue almost didn't recognize her.
Feng Qingxue exclaimed: "Cousin, you have lost a lot of weight!"
Although she has not fully recovered her figure before marriage, her graceful curves are fully revealed. She is very slim, weighing no more than 100 pounds, and is wearing her old clothes from before marriage, and her appearance is outstanding.
"Without meat, of course he's thin! We only start raising piglets in the spring, and there are no live pigs in the city. Yuejin kills one or two pigs every few days, and the demand is always insufficient. He can only bring back four ounces of meat every month, which is not enough to fill his stomach. The leaders are watching him, and he can't get any food." Wang Jiao glanced at the guests in the room, saw the leek box, swallowed her saliva immediately, and accused: "Xiaoxue, you didn't tell me when you had something delicious, you're so mean, I did what you said and worked at home to take care of Goudan!"
"Cousin, don't talk about my sister. My sister just asked me to bring you a leek box!" Feng Qingyun interrupted.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Wang Jiao smiled brightly upon hearing this, and apologized to Feng Qingxue very quickly, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxue, I wronged you. You are really the best person. You even thought of me when you made the chive dumplings!"
