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

After going down the mountain, Liu Jinhua had asked Doctor Lu to wait at the entrance of the village. When he saw someone coming down, he hurried to greet them.

"The wound was treated with medicine in time, so it's not a big deal. Let's carry him back."

Doctor Lu took Widow Wang's pulse and his diagnosis was the same as Yao Qingnian's, with some skin injuries and a slight fracture in the leg. She would be fine after two days of rest.

"This widow Wang ran into the mountains without permission. Fortunately, nothing happened. Qing Nian, how are you?"

Liu Jinhua had been worried since she came back, but now she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine. I found Widow Wang in a pit in the mountains. She had fainted. It took a lot of effort to bring her out."

"Thank you for your hard work today! Otherwise, how would I explain myself if something went wrong?"

"Nothing else, I'll go back first. Auntie, I'll make the qingtuan for you tomorrow. It's too late today."

"You should go back and rest! Your mother has asked about this several times."

After saying goodbye to Liu Jinhua, Yao Qingnian went home. As soon as he entered the courtyard, Liu Shuyue ran over.

"Finally you're back! Come and have dinner."

Liu Shuyue's eyes were full of worry, but she didn't ask any more questions and asked her to wash her hands and eat.

"It's okay, Mom!"

Liu Shuyue put the dishes into the pot and heated them up again. Yao Qingnian hadn't eaten all day and was so hungry that he ate voraciously and told them what had happened that day.

"This widow Wang is too careless. It's a good thing you found her, otherwise she would have been fed to wolves in the mountains tonight."

"We grown men don't dare to go into the mountains alone. Next time we encounter something like this, we should not act rashly."

The scene of Lu Mingchuan getting injured when he went into the mountains was still vivid in his mind. The mountains were full of dangers, so he reminded Yao Qingnian.

"Yes, your own safety is important."

"Okay, got it. I'll be careful."

In her previous life, she had no other family except her master. Now that she could feel the care and concern of her relatives in this strange world, she felt mixed emotions.

After walking such a long way, Yao Qingnian felt a little tired. She went into the space to take a shower, wash her hair, and blow-dry her hair. Then, she took out the wine from the wine cabinet and had a drink before going to bed.

When she woke up, it was already noon. Knowing that she was tired yesterday, Liu Shuyue did not come to call her for breakfast.

Remembering what she had promised Liu Jinhua yesterday about using Gnaphalium to make green rice dumplings, she got up, washed up, went to the yard, and washed the Gnaphalium she had picked yesterday.

To make Qingtuan, you need to prepare the filling first. Use the sesame and peanuts at home, fry them, grind them, and add sugar. The first filling is ready. The second filling uses sauerkraut, which is available in every household. The method is simple. Heat oil in a pan, fry the onion, ginger and garlic until fragrant, then put the chopped sauerkraut in, add salt and fry until cooked. The aroma of sauerkraut will spread, and two fillings with different flavors are ready. If you like sweet food, eat sesame and peanut filling, and salty sauerkraut filling.

As the water in the large iron pot on the stove gradually boiled, the gurgling sound echoed throughout the kitchen. At this time, you have to grab a handful of salt and baking soda and sprinkle it into the water. Yao Qingnian found the baking soda in the space, which can keep the green balls green and not change color. Let them blend evenly with the rolling water.

Next, carefully put the washed Artemisia argyi into the pot and watch it tumble in the boiling water until it gradually becomes soft. When the time is right, take out the cooked Artemisia argyi and set it aside to cool for later use.

Take the glutinous rice flour that has been prepared, and after the Artemisia selengensis has completely cooled, you can gradually add it to the glutinous rice flour. After adding some, knead it vigorously for a while until all the Artemisia selengensis is perfectly combined with the glutinous rice flour to form a soft and elastic dough. Then, divide this large dough into several small pieces of the same size and roll them into even dough sheets one by one.

After the dough was made, Yao Qingnian made the green balls into two different shapes to make it easier to distinguish the flavors. The round ones were filled with sesame, and the willow-leaf-shaped ones were filled with sauerkraut.

After a while, the exquisite and beautiful green rice dumplings were ready.

The last step is to steam the green rice dumpling in the pot for about a quarter of an hour after the water boils. It is ready. The green rice dumpling is as green as jade, glutinous, soft, and fragrant, fat but not greasy. Take a bite and your mouth will be filled with the taste of spring.

Yinuo smelled the aroma and came into the kitchen: "What delicious food are you making? It smells so good."

“It’s Qingtuan.”

"I want to eat, too."

"Then I'll test you first. If you answer the question, I'll give it to you."

"No problem, go ahead and take the test!"

Yinuo was confident. He had mastered addition and subtraction within 100 in the past few days. Yinuo was only five years old, and it was amazing for him to have such a learning speed.

"There are twenty Qingtuan here. You eat three and grandma eats five. How many are left?"

"Twelve"

Yinuo blurted out.

"Like you"

Yao Qingnian handed a sesame-filled green dumpling to Yinuo.

Yinuo skipped out with the Qingtuan in his hand.

After packing the green rice dumplings in a food box, Yao Qingnian walked towards the village chief’s house.

"Auntie Jinhua"

Yao Qingnian arrived at the village chief's house. Liu Jinhua was busy preparing things for the Cold Food Festival in the yard. Her grandson was playing in the mud in the yard, and her daughter-in-law Tian was helping.

"Qingnian, you are here. Come in and sit down."

"I have made the qingtuan, come and try it."

Yao Qingnian gently placed the green dumpling on the table. The village chief's house was one of the few large blue brick and tile houses in the village. Compared with the surrounding adobe houses, it was particularly eye-catching.

The village chief has a son and two daughters. The two daughters are married and the son works as an accountant in a restaurant in the county town. The old couple spends their time at home walking their grandchildren and doing farm work. The village chief is busy with the village's daily affairs and lives a comfortable and easy life.

"I'm going to wash my hands. Please sit for a while! Ruofang, go get Qingnian a glass of water."

Tian was a straightforward person. When she heard what her mother said, she put down the work in her hands, said "OK", and went to pour water for Yao Qingnian.

Yao Qingnian opened the lid of the food box, and the unique aroma of green rice balls wafted out.

"The round one has sesame filling, and the willow-shaped one has sauerkraut filling."

Tian Ruofang was just carrying some water out. Seeing these beautiful Qingtuan, she couldn't help but praise them, "Qingnian, you have really skillful hands. I've never seen such beautiful snacks."

Liu Jinhua picked up a dumpling stuffed with pickled cabbage and put it in her mouth. The dumpling was wrapped with pickled cabbage, soft and glutinous without being greasy. It was really delicious. Tian Ruofang picked up a dumpling stuffed with sesame and put it in her mouth. After taking a bite, her mouth was filled with the aroma of sesame and peanuts.

"It looks good and tastes good. Qingnian, please teach me how to make this."

Tian Ruofang puffed out her cheeks like a hamster and spoke vaguely.

"This is a simple method. I'll teach you tomorrow, Cold Food Festival."

"Then it's settled. Tomorrow's snack will be green rice dumplings. Please be in charge of teaching everyone. Also, make some of your braised food and bring it over. The village will pay you to buy it."

The braised food is just right for tomorrow. She can prepare it in advance and take it over to eat right away. All the expenses for the Cold Food Festival are paid by the village, so she can also make a small profit.

"Okay auntie, no problem."

Yao Qingnian agreed, picked up the water on the table and took a sip. It was sweet, sugar water.
