Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

In the clear river, you can vaguely see countless snails clinging to the smooth stone surface. They lie there quietly, as if blending into the surrounding environment.

Yao Qingnian excitedly rolled up his trouser legs and stepped into the water carefully. He reached out and scooped up more than a dozen snails.

"Yinuo, what do you think this is?"

"Isn't this Tian Qing?"

“It’s snails.”

Snails are a must-have at modern snack stalls. They have a unique taste and are colorful, fragrant and delicious. One person can eat a whole plate of them.

"Is this inedible? It's hard and muddy."

There are a lot of green onions in the village, and no one would pick them up to eat.

"Come and pick them up together. I guarantee you'll want more after you've eaten them."

Seeing Yao Qingnian holding Tian Qing in his hands like a treasure, Yinuo picked it up too.

There are so many snails, it’s impossible to pick them all up.

Yao Qingnian was immersed in picking them up. The snails in the river were fatter and juicier than the others because no one was picking them up.

She bent down, stretched out her fingers and gently touched the snails under the water, and continued to grope in the river. Every time she reached out, she could bring back a few snails of different sizes. After a while, her hands were full of more than a dozen snails.

Yao Qingnian looked at his harvest and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Some villagers who came to wash things saw the mother and son happily fishing in the river. When they approached, they realized that they were fishing for Tianqing.

Is the Lu family so poor? Didn't they just sell a wild boar some time ago? Yao Qingnian was still selling stewed food at the entrance of the village. Logically, he should have money. So why are the two of them fishing for Tianqing? In the eyes of the villagers, eating Tianqing must be a last resort because the family is really short of money.

The villagers looked at the mother and son with sympathy, shook their heads and left.

In the blink of an eye, the basket was already full, and Yao Qingnian had to reluctantly go ashore and go home.

After returning home, she placed the snails in a bucket, kept them in water, and waited for them to spit out the mud for a few days before processing them.

Because today's braised offal was not sold, her family had braised food for dinner. How can braised food be eaten without wine, so she went to the space to get some wine.

When she came to the wine cabinet, she found that the wine she took out to drink last time appeared on the shelf intact. She had forgotten about it, but the space was automatically replenished. God was kind to her. Not only did he give her a chance to be reborn, but he also gave her endless wine.

Yao Qingnian took out the wine without any regret. After all, he would be back tomorrow after drinking it, so there was no need to feel sorry.

With the experience of drinking last time, Lu Mingchuan and his wife were already familiar with the way of drinking, and they raised their glasses and drank.

After getting up in the morning, Yao Qingnian went to sell braised food as usual. As soon as he put down his things at the entrance of the village, Lin Ergou ran over and said, "Yao Qingnian, you are here. Give me some braised food. I haven't eaten it for several days. I miss the taste."

When Lin Ergou saw Yao Qingnian coming over, he immediately took out his coins to buy some. He hadn't eaten braised food for several days. He bought some from Lin Meili yesterday, but after hearing everyone say that it tasted bad, he returned it without opening it.

"Didn't Lin Meili come to sell herbal medicine yesterday?"

"Don't mention it. What she sells is totally inedible. You didn't see it yesterday. The stall was overturned."

Yao Qingnian was busy catching snails after returning home yesterday and did not hear about Lin Meili's incident. Now she found out that she had only sold her pig offal for half a day and had to return it all.

The result of this matter was as she expected. Sewage itself is smelly and fishy. If it is not washed clean or handled improperly, the taste is unpalatable. Her recipe is from the 21st century and most people cannot make it. They could not guess that medicinal herbs can be used as ingredients. Who would have thought that medicinal herbs can also be used to cook things?

Because of this little episode with Lin Meili, Yao Qingnian's braised food sold even better. Someone brought some back from visiting relatives, and even people in the neighboring village heard about it and asked people to help buy some for them to take back.

After keeping the snails in the bucket for a few days, seeing that the mud had been almost spit out, Yao Qingnian picked them all up, removed their tails, and cleaned them carefully.

Add water to the pot, add snails and rice wine, boil, skim off the foam, and cook until the snails open. Heat oil in another pot, add sliced ginger, minced garlic, and chopped green onions, and sauté until fragrant. Add the cooked snails, stir-fry quickly, add soy sauce and salt to taste, and stir-fry until the snails are well-seasoned.

“Is this really edible?”

There was a plate of snails on the table, steaming and smelling delicious. Liu Shuyue couldn't believe that they were edible.

"Of course you can. Come on, one plate each."

It was Liu Shuyue’s first time eating snails. Without thinking, she picked one up, put it in her mouth and started biting it, and she almost broke her teeth.

"How can I eat this? It's so hard..."

Yao Qingnian didn't expect that Liu Shuyue and the others had never eaten snails before, and laughed out of breath: "Haha, mom, this is not how you eat it, look at me..."

She demonstrated how to eat it and quickly slurped up the snails.

Liu Shuyue ate the snails according to Yao Qingnian's instructions.

Yinuo also ate it easily, and there were snail shells piled in front of everyone.

Even Lu Mingchuan, who was usually serious, ate most of the plate.

"I didn't expect this Tianqing to taste so special. It's delicious, but it has no meat, so it's a bit hard to eat."

"It's like this the first time you eat it, you'll get used to it."

Yao Qingnian felt that the snails lacked flavor and were far inferior to those sold at modern night snack stalls, mainly because they lacked chili peppers and the aroma of snails. The aroma of snails is mint, and these two seasonings are indispensable.

Thinking of the peppers, she ran to check on the pepper seedlings she had planted last time. She saw new tender leaves growing on the crushed branches of the pepper seedlings. She thought the pepper seedlings would definitely not survive, but she didn't expect them to be quite strong. She had been busy recently and had forgotten about it. It seemed that she had to spend more time taking care of this pepper seedling.

After Lin Meili's incident, Yao Qingnian had a new plan. The population in the village is limited, and there are only 20 to 30 portions to sell. Moreover, the villagers will get tired of braised food after eating it for a few days. It's different in the city, there are more people and more opportunities, so she thought about re-planning. She could let Liu Shuyue or Yinuo sell it in the village. They are all from the village and are familiar with each other, so there is no need to worry about any problems.

She decided to diversify the types of food she sold. After all, only by doing so could she attract more customers' attention and favor. After thinking about it, she decided that if she wanted to make a lot of money, she should go to the county town in person.

The city is not only bustling with people, but also filled with all kinds of weird and wonderful things! You might find the best place to set up a stall and do business there.

Yao Qingnian hadn't decided what to sell yet, so she put the idea of setting up a stall in the city aside. She wanted to put Lu Mingchuan's surgery on the schedule first and arrange it as soon as possible so that she wouldn't have to worry about it every day.
