The mother and her two children went into the mountains together, and the setting sun cast a beautiful glow, creating a unique scene.
As Su Yun'er walked, she admired the scenery of the mountain village and reflected on her current situation: In this year of famine, she lived in a mountain village while her husband went to join the army and fought in the war. He had been gone for several years without any news, and she, as the young wife left behind, could only go into the mountains to dig for wild vegetables to make ends meet.
Waaaaah, I want to change my name.
I want to change my name to Su Baochuan!
The mother and her two children, carrying baskets, searched around. Soon, Xiaoshu and Xiaocao found some wild vegetables and happily shouted that they would have vegetables to eat that night.
Su Yun'er was happy but also a little sad. She was happy that the two children were so amazing, but sad that they could identify so many wild vegetables at such a young age.
It is said that children from poor families learn to be independent early, especially since the original owner of this body did not fulfill her duties as a mother, so the children naturally learned some survival skills.
Okay, let's make something delicious to treat the kids!
Su Yun'er also began searching, but not for wild vegetables; instead, she was looking for a place where she could pretend to have "dug up" some vegetables.
While the twins weren't looking, she quietly moved out ginger, wild garlic, and other things that she had specially hidden in her space, and then suddenly exclaimed, "Little trees and grass, look what this is!"
When the twins ran back following the sound, they saw Su Yun'er squatting on the ground, holding several pieces of ginger in her hand.
"Wow, Mommy, you're amazing! What's this?"
"This is ginger, we'll need it for stewing the chicken later."
A moment later.
"Wow, Mom, what's this again?"
"This is garlic; you need it for stir-frying chicken and other vegetables."
A moment later.
"Wow, Mom, what's this again?"
"This is a potato. There are many ways to cook it, and it's delicious."
A moment later.
"Wow, Mom, what's this again?"
"These are sweet potatoes. You can cook them into porridge or roast them. They're fragrant and sweet, and I'm sure you'll like them."
"This is baby bok choy."
"This is lettuce."
After the children finished their "wow" again, Su Yun'er felt she couldn't dig any further.
Amidst the children's admiring "wows," Su Yun'er almost buried a corn cob in the ground and then "dug" it out.
"Alright, alright, we've found enough today. Let's go home and cook!"
Back home, Su Yun'er continued preparing dinner.
Cut two slices of ginger and put them directly into water along with half a chicken, then start stewing.
After cutting the other half of the chicken into pieces, render some fat from the chicken skin, then quickly stir-fry the raw chicken pieces until slightly browned. Add salt, ginger slices, and cooking wine, then add an appropriate amount of hot water. After the water boils, simmer over low heat.
Next came the greens. Xiao Cao had carefully cleaned all the wild vegetables. Since there was no oil at home, Su Yun'er blanched the wild vegetables to remove the bitterness. Then she ladled some chicken broth, added the blanched wild vegetables, and a little salt, thus completing a refreshing and light broth with wild vegetables.
Meanwhile, on another small stove, a pot of brown rice had already been simmering.
Two soups, one dish, and one staple food, but surprisingly, all of them were considered meat dishes.
When the food was served, Grandma Chen's eyes were filled with both surprise and joy.
Having not seen meat for a long time, the aroma made all four members of the family very hungry.
However, Su Yun'er took a portion from the stir-fried chicken, thought for a moment, then tore off a chicken wing from the stewed chicken, and then packed two or three bowls of brown rice and a few large sweet potatoes, and asked Xiaoshu and Xiaocao to deliver them to Aunt Song's house.
Although the little trees and grass were hungry and wanted to eat meat, they obediently took the food and ran out the door.
