When Mr. and Mrs. Lin arrived home, Lin Anshu had just finished mixing the wild vegetables.
Blanching wild vegetables is very simple, but as for how to make a cold salad... Lin Anshu learned it on the spot from a short video on Douyin.
After blanching the wild vegetables, squeeze out the excess water and add minced garlic, salt, sugar, sesame oil, vinegar, and light soy sauce.
Next, stir-fry the Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilies in a wok until fragrant, then remove them from the wok. Pour clean, hot oil over the minced garlic and stir.
Before she could even try it out, she heard Lin's father's voice.
"Look, An'an is really amazing."
"She not only dug up so many wild vegetables, but also sorted them out."
"Moreover, there were absolutely no mistakes!"
"Hmph, it's not like I can't see it, do you need to tell me?" Lin's mother snorted.
"Dad, Mom, you're back."
"I just made a cold wild vegetable salad and steamed some rice."
"In a little while, I'll chop some potatoes and meat, make some stir-fried lotus root, and stir-fry some tomatoes and eggs."
"Lunch is all set," said Lin Anshu, who was wearing an apron, as she walked out.
"An'an, you can cook too?"
"Come, let me taste your cooking."
After finishing his sentence, Mr. Lin washed his hands and then went into the kitchen.
He tentatively picked up his chopsticks and tasted a bite of the wild vegetables Lin Anshu had prepared.
"These wild vegetables taste delicious."
"Her mom, come and try it."
After washing her hands, Lin's mother picked up a pair of chopsticks with some suspicion and tried them out, then looked surprised and doubtful.
"Why do these wild vegetables taste so good?"
"Right? Right? I think it's delicious too! It's sweet with a refreshing taste, appetizing and perfect with rice."
Upon hearing this, Lin Anshu couldn't help but smile faintly.
How could an upgrade package offered by the system be bad?
Delicious? Absolutely delicious!
As for cooking, she really didn't know how before.
Even steamed rice can turn into plain white porridge.
During the pandemic a couple of years ago, she had to learn to cook because she was renting an apartment alone.
Of course, this so-called skill is nothing more than learning by watching short videos every time you cook.
cough.
"Just for these wild vegetables, I can eat two bowls of rice without anything else."
After saying that, Mr. Lin picked up his chopsticks and ate one bite after another.
Just as he was about to continue eating, his mother slapped his hand holding the chopsticks.
What are you doing?
"The other dishes haven't been prepared yet. Go, go start the fire."
"Oh." Mr. Lin went to start the fire with a mournful look on his face.
Lin Anshu's family still uses the kind of wood-burning stove in the kitchen, which is common in rural areas.
Two large iron pots were placed securely on the built-up stove.
Of course, besides these two pots, their family also has an induction cooker, a rice cooker, and so on.
Lin Anshu disliked the hassle of starting a fire, so she used an induction cooker to blanch wild vegetables and heat Sichuan peppercorn oil.
With Lin's mother and father joining in, lunch was quickly prepared.
When the family sat down for lunch, even Grandma Lin, who usually had a poor appetite and only ate a little, was very interested in the plate of wild vegetables.
There were four dishes on the table, and the plate of cold wild vegetables was the first to be emptied.
Even so, Lin Anshu and the others still looked like they hadn't had enough.
There were only so many wild vegetables; each person could only take two bites, and that was it. What could we possibly eat?
It's not even enough to fill a gap between your teeth.
"How about we make another plate?" Mr. Lin asked tentatively.
"I think it's a good idea," Grandma Lin nodded.
"Then let's mix it," Lin's mother agreed.
Immediately, all three people's eyes fell on Lin Anshu's face.
“…Oh, mix it.” What could Lin Anshu say?
Of course, we should agree.
"An'an, one plate isn't enough, let's make a whole bowl!"
"Yes, a good one."
"Then let's have one pot."
"..." Lin Anshu.
A whole pot? Are you sure you can finish it?
It turns out, it works!
The second batch of cold wild vegetable salad that Lin Anshu prepared was completely eaten.
Even as they were burping, Mr. and Mrs. Lin were belatedly surprised.
I think I ate a bit too much today?
Burp~
There was nothing they could do; they were just too hungry today.
Of course, most importantly... the wild vegetables tasted exceptionally good today.
"Dad, Mom, I have an idea," Lin Anshu said at the right time.
"What?"
"You guys also think these wild vegetables taste good, right?"
"Yes, it's very good."
"So, I plan to take advantage of the free time this afternoon to take the wild vegetables I dug out and sell them."
“Such delicious wild vegetables, selling them for 20 yuan a pound isn’t unreasonable, is it?” Lin Anshu said.
"20 yuan? This stuff can be dug up all over the mountains, do you really think anyone would buy it for such a high price?" Lin's mother hesitated.
"Of course!"
"Nowadays, city dwellers are tired of eating too much meat and fish, so they want to eat some fresh wild vegetables to cleanse their bodies."
"Didn't the news report last year say that fresh toon sprouts were selling for as low as 80 to 100 yuan per kilogram?"
"Even with this, it's not guaranteed that you can buy it."
“The wild vegetables I dug up are of such good quality that you all think they’re delicious, so others will definitely like them too,” Lin Anshu said.
“Her mom, I think An’an makes a good point.”
“An’an dug up the wild vegetables. If she wants to sell them, let her give it a try.” Mr. Lin was very supportive.
"Grandma supports you, An'an."
"Why are you all staring at me? I didn't say it was impossible."
"But where do you plan to sell it? How will you get there?" Lin's mother asked.
