After working for a whole morning, I dug up all the wild vegetables in a large area.
Wen Guan sent the children home on the way, and then hurried home carrying half a basket full of wild vegetables.
"Sister-in-law, have you cooked?" Wen Guanren pushed open the door and shouted inside before entering the house.
Tian Xiaocao heard the voice and came out from the back door of the kitchen carrying firewood. "Xiao Wan, I'm just about to start cooking. If you're hungry, eat some peanuts first."
"Sister-in-law, that's perfect." Wen Guan walked into the kitchen carrying a backpack, "What do you think we can make with these wild vegetables?"
Tian Xiaocao looked at the full basket of wild vegetables with surprise, took two steps forward, and reached out to rummage through the basket.
She thought that since it was her sister-in-law's first time picking wild vegetables, she couldn't even tell the difference between the tender and the old ones. As a result, not only was her backpack full, but it was filled with vegetables that were just the right size to eat.
"Xiao Wan, you can boil the purslane and then add some salt, soy sauce, and chili noodles to make a cold dish. If you want shepherd's purse, add some eggs. It will be delicious when used to make dumplings."
Wen Wan muttered in his heart: fresh shepherd's purse with 30% fat and 70% lean pork is the best for making dumplings, but the original body can't cook, so he nodded in agreement with Tian Xiaocao's words.
Seeing Tian Xiaocao bending over to pick up vegetables with a big belly, Wen Wan stepped forward and snatched the basket, "Sister-in-law, you light the fire, and you can let me do the rest."
"No, no, that's absolutely not possible." Tian Xiaocao shook her head and waved her hands, refusing three times. Her parents-in-law didn't let their sister-in-law cook or work in the fields, so she didn't dare to do that.
Besides, she didn't want to eat food that tasted weird, and would rather work harder.
Wen Wan held on to the backpack tightly, "Sister-in-law, just obey me. I will definitely follow your instructions step by step. You have to believe in my ability to learn."
"No...I..." Tian Xiaocao was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. Looking at her sister-in-law's eyes full of desire, she swallowed back the words of disgust that were about to come out of her mouth.
Wen Wan immediately noticed that Tian Xiaocao's attitude had softened, and she pushed Tian Xiaocao to sit on the bench with a clever move. "Sister-in-law, you tell me and I do it. We are a perfect match."
Tian Xiaocao burst into laughter at her sister-in-law's funny look, and tears were about to flow out. "Okay, okay, then go and wash the vegetables. I'll boil some water."
Huh...Turning his back, Wen Wan smiled contentedly. A good start.
Tian Xiaocao had just lit the fire and the water in the pot had not yet boiled when she saw her sister-in-law picking and washing the vegetables skillfully. Finally, she scooped up the vegetables with a winnowing basket and drained the water. Her whole movement was smooth and fluid, without a single pause.
"Sister-in-law, the water is boiling. Can we put the vegetables in?" Wen Guan lifted the lid of the pot and asked, pretending not to understand.
Tian Xiaocao closed Zhang's big mouth and nodded silently.
My goodness, has my sister-in-law really never been to the kitchen? Is this the culinary genius that my father mentioned? She just said it once, and my sister-in-law did it.
Half an hour later, a bowl of cold-mixed purslane and a bowl of scrambled eggs with shepherd's purse appeared in front of Tian Xiaocao on the stove, looking delicious and fragrant.
"Sister-in-law, how many multi-grain steamed buns would you like to eat?" Wen Wan took two for himself and asked Tian Xiaocao with shining eyes. He would send the rest to Wen's father and mother who were working in the fields after dinner.
Tian Xiaocao raised her hand and made a number two. Her mind and eyes were filled with the tempting aroma of scrambled eggs with shepherd's purse, and her mouth was spitting out saliva one mouthful after another.
