A small breakfast shop in the street market, supporting the family and making money
Chapter 56: Harvesting Vegetables in the Village
Zhang Cuiniang smiled helplessly and silently remembered the good things about Aunt Liu's family.
Leng Yan, who was standing nearby, was also deeply touched by this simple neighborly love.
"Mom, big sister, you're back!"
Leng Qi and Leng He came in carrying baskets. When they saw them coming back from the town, they immediately surrounded them, chattering non-stop and helping to move things from the ox cart into the house.
Finally, Leng Qi and his partner said, "Sister, when we went to the mountain to pick wild vegetables this morning, we found that many of them had bloomed and were inedible.
We only dug a little bit to feed the chickens, ducks and geese.”
The twins looked a little depressed. Their family relied on wild vegetables like shepherd's purse to make pan-fried dumplings and sell them for money. Now that the wild vegetables have aged, what are they going to do? "
"It's okay. If we run out of wild vegetables, we can use other vegetables instead."
While Leng Yan was trying to comfort her, he was thinking that the chive dumplings he made today had received very good response and he could continue to sell them.
Instead of shepherd's purse filling, the pan-fried dumplings can perhaps be replaced with tofu filling, and the choy sum can be replaced with amaranth, or leek, egg, and fungus filling.
After making up his mind, Leng Yan first asked his eldest brother to go to Grandma Lin's house to order more tofu.
Mapo tofu and fried tofu are popular at lunch time. If we add a pan-fried bun with tofu filling, it will take at least 50 kilograms.
If she didn't tell him in advance, she would be afraid that Grandma Lin's family might not be well prepared.
The chives at home were just harvested yesterday, and the amaranth planted in the backyard is not enough.
Leng Yan thought about it and quickly asked her grandfather to go to the village chief's house and ask the village chief to come out and collect vegetables from each villager's home.
Chives cost two cents per pound, and amaranth costs one cent per pound.
In this way, we can not only supply the vegetables from our own garden, but also help the villagers earn some money. Why not do it?
Upon hearing this, Mr. Leng immediately agreed happily, "Okay, I just bought some good wine today, so I'll give some to your village chief. After all, you can't ask someone to do something for you empty-handed."
Old Man Leng also knew that his family had bought a bullock cart recently. After the villagers found out, some rumors spread.
But my eldest granddaughter is smart. First it was Village Chief Lan, and then it was Aunt Liu. They only made a small move, but the wind direction changed a lot.
And now their family is actually helping the villagers to earn money and supplement their family expenses, which can shut up their mouths.
Old Master Leng is not the kind of person who repays evil with kindness. Although he doesn't like them gossiping, he won't make enemies with them.
After all, humans are social animals, and we all know each other in the same village. As long as it does not harm family members and actual interests, it is always better to have more friends than more enemies.
After Leng Yan had explained everything, her parents and her uncle and aunt went about cleaning the pig's head and offal, as well as the subsequent braising process.
She looked at the chicken and duck eggs beside her and wanted to pickle them right away, but she was also thinking about the injuries of the two people she rescued on the mountain yesterday.
After weighing the pros and cons, she finally decided to carry the basket and go up the mountain.
Even though we have saved them, we can't let them die on the mountain.
Leng Yan walked hurriedly, his mind full of thoughts, wondering how to deal with the situation next.
What if they are sworn enemies and start fighting? What if they blackmail me? How should I respond?
Leng Yan had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't expect that the cave was already empty, without even a ghost.
Leng Yan looked more closely and found a small fire in the cave, as well as a pile of chicken bones and pheasant feathers.
Seeing this, Leng Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was not dead and was even eating beggar's chicken. He was living a pretty good life.
After confirming the matter, Leng Yan did not stay in the cave.
After all, if she didn't pick it up when she went out, it would be considered lost. She had to quickly go to the mountains to chop some firewood, or pick some mugwort.
After all, Qingming Festival is coming soon, so you can also make some mugwort cakes to eat.
Unbeknownst to Leng Yan, during the short period of time from the time she entered the cave and came out, she was seen clearly by the person sitting on the tree.
Leng Yan, unaware of anything, walked and stopped, sometimes chopping wood with a machete, and sometimes squatting in the grass to pick some fresh mugwort.
Suddenly, she felt something empty under her feet, as if she had stepped on something. She was startled for a moment and looked down, only to see a short hole.
Leng Yan looked carefully for a while and found that it was a rabbit hole. She was delighted.
I buy rabbits from the mall every day, and today I finally caught one in the wild.
She immediately rolled up her sleeves and began to feel around. After a while, she found the remaining two exits of the rabbit hole.
The saying "a cunning rabbit has three burrows" is indeed true.
Leng Yan thought about it and realized that she had just chopped some firewood, so she bought a lighter from the space and wanted to smoke the rabbit out.
But at the last moment, she suddenly remembered that she had promised her eldest brother to take him with her when she went catching rabbits last time.
Right now my luck has hit a rabbit hole, but I don’t know when the next time will be.
Leng Yan weighed the pros and cons for a while, noted the location, and went home with the basket on his back, calling his eldest brother and the others to go with him.
When Leng Cang heard that a rabbit nest had been discovered, he was extremely happy and immediately ran up the mountain with the basket on his back.
Leng Huai and the little twins were also very excited, and they took their belongings and went up the mountain.
If her father Leng Xun's legs were not still unable to climb the mountain, he would have gone with them. After all, he broke his leg chasing a rabbit a few years ago, and he wanted to avenge his past humiliation and catch a rabbit himself.
Seeing that they were all grinning with joy, Leng Yan couldn't help but smile too.
They are so sensible despite the heavy workload at home, it is rare to see their childish side.
After arriving at the rabbit hole, Leng Yan directed that one of the openings be blocked with stones and soil first.
The other hole is guarded tightly with a basket, so that when the rabbit runs out, it will panic and rush into the basket.
As for the remaining hole, they first lit a dry branch with fire and let a large amount of smoke into the hole.
When the time is almost right, use a basket to block the hole.
Leng Yan coughed as he mixed dry grass and wet firewood together and ignited them with a flint, which would produce thicker smoke.
The two kids were helping to pass the firewood and hold the baskets, while the other side of the cave entrance was guarded by uncle Leng Huai and nephew Leng Cang.
Seeing that it was almost done, Leng Yan stuffed the last handful of firewood into the cave entrance, and then signaled Leng Qi and Leng He to block the cave entrance with a basket, while reminding the uncle and nephew opposite to pay attention to the movement.
After a while, Leng Huai Leng Cang's surprised voice was heard from the other side.
"I caught them, I caught them. Ah, there are white ones, white ones, gray ones, and big ones..."
There were surprises one after another over there, but there was no movement on Leng Yan's side.
The two little ones were attracted and were a little absent-minded, when they suddenly felt something heavy hitting the basket in their hands and almost slipped out of their hands.
Leng Yan was quick to grab it, and the two little ones only then realized what was happening and cried out in surprise.
"Ah, we caught it, we caught it too!"
The uncle and nephew all had unstoppable smiles on their faces. When they lifted the basket, they quickly tied the straw curtain on the basket to prevent the rabbit from escaping.
Through the gaps in the basket, a few people could see clearly that in Leng Huai Leng Cang's basket, there were two adult white rabbits, one adult gray rabbit, three small mixed-hair gray rabbits, and one small white rabbit.
In Leng Yan's basket, there was an adult gray rabbit and two little white rabbits.
We caught ten rabbits of all sizes, which was a pretty good harvest.
