Chapter 109: Broken Ear Roots
Suihe put down his backpack, took out his small hoe, and dug carefully.
Suihe is looking for this kind of Houttuynia cordata that grows along the ridges of fields and streams.
At this time, the Houttuynia cordata has only grown a small leaf. Don't underestimate it because it is the most tender and tastes the best.
Sui He carefully dug the sand on both sides. There were many roots underneath, but the wild Houttuynia cordata was not as big as the domesticated white roots, and the wild ones aged easily. Sui He dug out all the Houttuynia cordata in this area, removed the old roots underneath, and only kept the newly grown roots on top.
Sui He picked up a few and put them under his nose to smell. The unique fragrance of Houttuynia cordata penetrated into his nostrils.
Some people like to eat the leaves of Houttuynia cordata, while others like to eat the roots. However, for Sui He, her favorite part is the part that just comes out of the soil and still has tender leaves.
In the past, she would find the right time every year to stroll along other people's fields, and was often scolded for this.
But now the year-old grass doesn't care about that. The Houttuynia cordata growing by the stream is particularly white and tender, but it grows in a scattered manner, with one flower here and one flower there.
Sui He searched slowly along the stream and found a small basket of
Only the top section of the annual grass was taken, and the roots underneath were allowed to continue growing. You can come back for more later. As long as the roots have not been dug up, it will pop up again in a few days.
Sui He found a big stone by the stream, washed the Houttuynia cordata with stream water, and removed the hairy roots that grew around the roots. After washing, he took it home.
"Sui Sui, what did you bring back?" Grandma saw Sui He coming back with a basket dripping with water. She took the basket and looked inside: "What is this?"
Grandma picked up a handful and smelled it, then turned away and said: "What's that smell? It's so weird."
"Grandma, this is Houttuynia cordata, it's delicious. It took me a long time to get it back. We'll eat it tonight." Sui He took out a basin and put two handfuls of Houttuynia cordata in the basin.
Rinse it with well water, shake it, and take it to the kitchen to marinate it with fine salt.
Just marinate it with salt for a few hours to remove the astringency and raw taste of the zheergen. The zheergen will be crispy and will not have the so-called fishy smell.
So Sui He wondered if those people couldn't get used to eating Houttuynia cordata because it wasn't pickled.
In the evening, I cooked some porridge, made a few pancakes, and had a plate of cold-mixed zheergen.
"What is this?" Grandpa asked as usual when he saw something he didn't recognize, then picked up a piece of it with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
Grandpa and grandma have become accustomed to Sui He sometimes taking out things he doesn't recognize. As long as they are not poisonous, they will eat them, not to mention that they are just some grass roots.
"It's pretty good." As the Houttuynia cordata entered his mouth, the spicy, crispy and tender taste immediately captured grandpa's taste buds. Grandpa drank a mouthful of thin porridge. Houttuynia cordata is the best match with white porridge. Then he had a bite of egg pancake.
"This is Houttuynia cordata. It tastes good, right?" Sui He picked up a large piece of Houttuynia cordata with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, chewing it with a crunchy sound.
"Grandma, eat quickly," Sui He urged
Hearing the urging, grandma also picked up a chopstick, and the next second she was conquered by the unique taste of Zheergen
Sure enough, they will become a family, even their tastes are the same. Suihe selectively forgets about the salty and sweet tofu pudding.
From today onwards, Houttuynia cordata has become a must-have dish on the table during this period of time
Not to mention Suihe, even grandparents like to eat it.
When Sui He was digging for Polygonum multiflorum, he met some old ladies from the village. They were all curious about what was in Sui He's basket.
Many people asked Sui He how to eat it. When they heard Sui He say that it should be pickled with salt and served cold, they all gave up.
Salt is expensive to begin with, so it’s not worth using it to pickle a wild vegetable. Besides, they all tasted it and found it didn’t taste good, so they were even more reluctant to waste the salt.
Suihe doesn't force it. Folded Ear is just like this. People who like it love it as if it were their life, while those who don't like it want to stay away from it.
For them, once the seventh day of the Lunar New Year has passed, the Lunar New Year is over.
According to legend, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year is the birthday of mankind, also known as the Victory Day and the Human Celebration Day.
Suihe's family also chose this day to start work
Early in the morning, my grandfather waited in the tofu workshop. When the workers came, he lit a string of firecrackers to signal a prosperous business in the new year.
Grandpa prepared a few red envelopes for the workers to start work, and gave one to each worker to wish them a good start.
Sui He also came to the workshop. When Grandpa handed out red envelopes, he saw a pair of white and tender little hands spread out in front of him with the palms facing up. Grandpa looked up and saw Sui He lowering his head, raising his hands above his head and spreading his hands in front of him.
Funny, he also put a red envelope in those hands, took a step forward, turned around and put another one in Suihe's hands.
Feeling the touch in his hand, Sui He's eyes lit up. He put down his hand and looked at the two red envelopes in his palm. His eyes narrowed with smile.
"Sui Sui, you are so happy to receive your own red envelope." Aunt Li saw Sui He's money-grubbing look and couldn't help but want to tease her.
Work started, and the uncles and aunts came to the workshop to help
"I must be happy to have copper coins in my pocket." Sui He carefully put the red envelope into his pocket and patted it: "Especially since it is such a meaningful copper coin."
As soon as the workshop opened, several uncles and aunts went in to help. Today, we just started working and the beans and other things have not been soaked yet. Today we are mainly soaking beans and growing bean sprouts.
The tofu won't be ready until tomorrow, so there's not much work to do today.
A horse-drawn carriage entered the village and stopped at the entrance of Chen's workshop.
Sui He looked at the familiar carriage in front of him and walked forward with a smile. When the waiter saw Sui He, he immediately jumped out of the carriage and opened the curtain.
"Shopkeeper Li, long time no see"
"Suihe, long time no see." Shopkeeper Li got out of the car, walked up to Suihe, took out a small red envelope and handed it to Suihe: "Happy New Year, this is the New Year's money for you, keep it quickly."
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Li." Sui He took the small red envelope and put it in her pocket. She didn't expect that she would still receive red envelopes on the seventh day of the New Year.
"Manager Li is here, come home and sit down." Grandpa came out of the workshop.
Because Manager Li has come several times, the villagers all know him and know that he is a big customer of Suihe. This time, he must be here to discuss business with Suihe.
It was very convenient to have a horse-drawn carriage. Several people took the carriage and headed towards Suihe's house. The carriage stopped at the door of Suihe's house and several people got off.
Manager Li ordered the waiter to take the things off the car.
A few boxes of snacks, a piece of brightly colored cloth, obviously prepared for Sui He. There are also a few gift boxes
"I saw you liked some snacks last time, so I brought some for you this time. This piece of cloth was chosen by my wife, take a look and see if you like it." Shopkeeper Li took out two boxes and handed them to Sui He: "These are the gifts prepared for you by my young master, Mr. Cui."
"The border has been in turmoil recently. Master Cui has already gone there. I have already told them about your visit. They said they will come over after they have dealt with the matter." Shopkeeper Li introduced them one by one. Soon, the table was filled with gifts.
"Well, thank you, Manager Li, for still thinking about this matter. It's hard for you to make a special trip," Sui He said
