butcher's little man

Chapter 95

Because of the shoe sole, the two had a little conflict, but soon they reconciled quickly.

After reflecting on himself, Li Wenxuan said to Tian Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, I know you really want to help the family, but it really takes strength to put on the soles of your shoes. You are pregnant now, so it's not suitable for you to do this."

"Well," Tian Xiaoman nodded embarrassingly, because he was too willful.

Li Wenxuan saw that his attitude was very good, and said, "If you really want to make money, I have a way! What do you think is the most common thing on the mountain now?"

Tian Xiaoman thought for a while, "Wild vegetables!"

"Aside from wild vegetables? What else?"

"Oh, there are also bamboo shoots!" Tian Xiaoman thought of the large bamboos on the mountain behind them, but because he had children, he couldn't eat too much, so he forgot about it this year.

"By the way, this bamboo shoot. When I was escorting the master and the others to do business, I passed by a village. The people there dug up jars of bamboo shoots and entertained us. Now that I think of the taste, I can only feel my mouth watering!" Li Wenxuan An aftertaste expression.

Tian Xiaoman's mouth drools when he heard it, "What kind of taste is it? It's so delicious!"

"The taste is sour and crunchy, a little spicy, and a little sweet after chewing, very appetizing."

He described Tian Xiaoman as wanting to eat it even more, "Then do you know how to do it?"

Li Wenxuan's intoxicated expression stopped, "Xiaoman, how would I know what to do?"

"Then you still say so much, you are deliberately greedy me!"

"How is it possible? I was thinking that Xiaoman, you are so smart, you must be better than me in eating. If I tell you the taste, maybe you can make it?"

"Hmph, of course!" Tian Xiaoman felt complacent after being hugged by him.

As soon as they said it, they did it, and the two went to the back mountain with bamboo baskets and picks.

The weather in early spring was still a bit chilly, and Tian Xiaoman couldn't help shivering when he walked in the bamboo forest that covered the sky and the sun.When Li Wenxuan saw it, he took off his coat and put it on Tian Xiaoman's body.

"You wear it yourself, I'm not cold!" Tian Xiaoman wanted to take off his clothes, but was held down by Li Wenxuan.

"I'm going to dig bamboo shoots soon. Wearing clothes is cumbersome. You can wear them!" Li Wenxuan smiled indifferently, then picked up the pick and walked forward.

Spring bamboo shoots are no better than winter bamboo shoots. They are hidden deep in the ground, and they show their pointed heads, which can be seen at a glance.Soon, Li Wenxuan found one.

He first dug the soil next to the bamboo shoot loose, and when the bamboo shoot exposed half of its body, he went down with his hands, shook the bamboo shoot's body, and then pulled it up.

The bamboo shoots dug out in this way will not be broken, because Li Wenxuan is not a veteran after all.

Tian Xiaoman shook the soil for the bamboo shoot he had dug out, and then put it into Li Wenxuan's basket.

It was not enough to dig one or two. Li Wenxuan searched around and found another one.The two talked and chatted, and gradually dug seven or eight roots.

These bamboo shoots are all big-rooted, so Li Wenxuan's back basket was filled up in no time. Tian Xiaoman looked at them and said, "Just dig these, so as not to make things bad and make things cheap."

Li Wenxuan nodded, "Alright, then let's get these things done first."

He walked back with the pick on his shoulders, and it was just as he said, it wasn't cold at all when he was digging bamboo shoots, and now his back was almost half wet.

Tian Xiaoman was thinking in his mind how to make the taste that Li Wenxuan described.

When the two returned home, Li Wenxuan went to the stove to boil some water to take a bath. He is now very used to taking hot water under the supervision of Tian Xiaoman. The last time he took a cold shower when he was not at home, it was a bit cold.Li Wenxuan lamented that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. The ancients did not deceive me.

Tian Xiaoman sat in the yard with a kitchen knife. He had to peel all the bamboo shoots. If he didn't do it today, he would never be able to sleep at night.

The bamboo shoots look quite big, but in fact there are not many peeled off, because its skin is very thick, and after peeling one layer after another, when the white and tender core is peeled off, it is almost the same as the original one or two. So big.

Moreover, its roots are buried in the ground and are very hard to eat. These hard parts must be cut off.

In the end, only one pot remained.Tian Xiaoman brought the basin to the well, poured some water to rinse it, then brought it to the kitchen, and cut it into pieces with a knife.

Then what to do?Tian Xiaoman thought, bamboo shoots must be cooked in advance, otherwise they will have an astringent taste.Thinking of this, Tian Xiaoman boiled the remaining water in the pot again, and then put the bamboo shoots down.

The cut bamboo shoots rolled in the pot, and it seemed that there were quite a lot of them, and the pot was full.Tian Xiaoman stirred the bamboo shoots in the pot with a spatula, then took the spatula from his hand with a big hand, and helped him stir it.

"Xiaoman, I seem to remember that there are some spices in it." Li Wenxuan tried hard to recall.

"Really?" Tian Xiaoman turned around and took out some big ingredients from the cupboard, and put them into the bamboo shoots.Then after thinking about it, I added two tablespoons of salt.

"There is also chili, otherwise it is not spicy."

"Do you need to say that?" Tian Xiaoman loves chili very much, but recently he seems to be more interested in sweet things.He put a lot of peppers in the pot, and the red and white things in the pot looked pretty.

"Would you like to pour some vinegar down, I remember that stuff is quite sour." Li Wenxuan suggested.

After Tian Xiaoman thought about it, he shook his head, if vinegar was added, it wouldn't taste crispy.Moreover, how much vinegar do you need to put in a mouthful of sour?

Moreover, Tian Xiaoman thought of sauerkraut, which turned sour by itself after being placed in a jar for a long time.Maybe this bamboo shoot is like this too?Otherwise, why would people bury it?

After the bamboo shoots in the pot were cooked to maturity, Tian Xiaoman extinguished the fire, then found an empty and clean jar and came out, checked it with his hand, and found that it was very dry inside, Tian Xiaoman nodded to Li Wenxuan, motioning for him to Pour down the bamboo shoots in the pot.

After cooling in the jar, Tian Xiaoman took out the oiled paper, sealed it, and tied a rope on it.

Li Wenxuan had already dug a hole in the yard, and the two buried the jar.

As soon as Li Amu came back from the pigsty, she saw the actions of the two, "What are you burying? Hidden treasure?"

Faced with Li Amu's teasing, Tian Xiaoman said embarrassedly, "Amu, we are cooking food."

"That's good, we're lucky. Don't tell me, everything tastes better when you eat it." Li Amu praised me, and then hurried away with the teapot in hand. The old man was still waiting. It's on.

When Tian Xiaoman was praised by Li Amu, he suddenly felt a lot of pressure. He had never eaten this food, and it was all done blindly. What if it didn't taste good?

Seeing his worried look, Li Wenxuan laughed loudly and said, "Don't be afraid, if we mess up, we will throw it away, and then we will buy other things on the street and come back to pawn it. I promise not to let others laugh at you."

Tian Xiaoman rolled his eyes, this prodigal son, started again.He would rather others laugh at him than spoil things.If it doesn't taste good, let Li Wenxuan eat it all, since he was the one who came up with the bad idea anyway.

Tian Xiaoman imagined Li Wenxuan's expression when he ate something unpalatable, and laughed out loud.

After the bamboo shoots were buried, Tian Xiaoman wondered how they would taste every day.Finally, after seven or eight days, he decided to take out the jar, and let him know whether he was dead or alive, so as not to waste his jar.

Li Wenxuan dug in the yard for a long time. The hole he dug was too deep, and he would dig himself.Li Amu and Li Afu also came out to watch with their rice bowls in their hands. They came back late, and Tian Xiaoman and the others had already eaten.

They were very curious when they heard that there was a fresh food, so they put some vegetables in a bowl and came out.

Le Geer and Liu Xilin were playing in the yard, but they looked at them from time to time, as if they were also curious about what was inside.

The jar was finally dug out by Li Wenxuan. The outside of the jar looked dirty. Brother Le was a little disappointed, thinking that it didn't look like something delicious.

Tian Xiaoman fetched water to rinse the jar, then took the rope, and uncovered the oiled paper, a hot, sour and salty smell came to his nostrils, which made his mouth salivate.

Father Li, who was closest, sniffed it, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "This thing smells so sour, Xiaoman, take some out, and Father will help you taste it first."

Li Amu glared at him, said that she wanted to eat it, and said something to help him taste it. "Yeah, Xiao Man, you grab some food, I don't think there are many dishes in there, just grab some food and eat."

Li Wenxuan's black line, is there still more than half of the dishes in it?They all saved it, so they said they wanted to eat it!

Tian Xiaoman felt a little more confident after smelling the smell, he nodded, then took a pair of chopsticks and a plate from the kitchen, and fished a few pieces from the jar.

Because the bamboo shoots were put into the jar after cooking, they still looked white and raw, and they looked good when paired with the red peppers next to them.

Father Li picked up a piece, put it in his mouth and bit it, and found that it broke as soon as he bit it, it was so brittle.But it's not still alive, is it?He chewed the letter a few times suspiciously, and found a strong sour smell, but it was not so sour that he couldn't drink it. How should I put it?Just like the original taste, very natural.After the sour taste passed, some spicy taste appeared on the tongue, and after being neutralized with the sour taste, it tasted sour, crisp and spicy. Grandpa Li took a bite of the rice, and then picked up another piece.

Seeing his reaction, everyone knew that the bamboo shoots were delicious.Not to be outdone, Li Amu put a piece into his mouth, and found that he seemed to have a full appetite. Although he had already eaten a bowl of rice, he still wanted to eat another bowl.

Li Wenxuan and Tian Xiaoman felt the same way after eating, so next, the whole family served another bowl of rice and ate with the sour bamboo shoots.

It is sour and spicy in the mouth, and there is a touch of sweetness after swallowing it. It is crisp and tender when chewed, which is completely different from other cooked things.

In the afternoon, everyone sat in the yard to digest food, because they were all full by coincidence.

"Father, mother, tell me, can this thing make money?" Tian Xiaoman is very concerned about this issue now, because his original intention of doing this is to make money.

"Yes, anyway, I like to eat it very much. Now there are not many good things to eat. This tastes appetizing. For those rich people who have eaten chicken, duck and fish all winter, it may be considered a good thing." Li Wenxuan Quickly said, he was with the old men at that time, and watched the second old man, who usually didn't have much appetite for anything, eat three bowls of rice with it.

"Okay, I'll go to the county town to sell it tomorrow!" Tian Xiaoman suddenly felt confident and made a decision.
