Chapter 7: Bitterweed
Lin Yunchu felt a little embarrassed to eat alone. There were so many people in her family, not to mention Lin Changan, who was younger than her. It was embarrassing to eat alone all the time.
But everyone in the Lin family insisted that she eat it, saying that only by eating it would it be nutritious, otherwise how could she stay healthy.
Ugh.
It’s all because of poverty!
Lin Yunchu was also a little helpless. He squatted down beside Lin's mother, thinking of chatting with her for a while. Seeing Lin's mother chopping vegetables in her hands...
Is this for chickens? What do they eat these days?
"Mom, you said this is for feeding chickens?"
Lin Yunchu trembled and pointed at the half-chopped vegetable in Lin's mother's hand and asked in a trembling voice: "Mom, do you know what this dish is?"
After hearing what Lin Yunchu said, Mother Lin didn't think too much and immediately responded:
"It's for chickens, sure. I don't know what it's called, but there are plenty out there. This one grows really fast, but it tastes bitter. No one in the village will eat it."
what?
Lin Yunchu held his forehead helplessly, this is really a gift from heaven, use this to feed the chickens.
This vegetable is called bitter lettuce. She and her grandmother loved to eat it when she was a child. It grows everywhere in the fields without being planted, especially after the rain. It grows strong and tender. You can pick a handful of it just by walking around a few times.
It tastes bitter and unpleasant if eaten directly, but if blanched in water and then cooked into soup or stir-fried, it is a delicious dish that is both refreshing and heat-reducing.
The most important thing is that this dish does not require much oil, which is perfect for their current situation.
“Has this grown a lot outside?”
Just now, Lin's mother said that this dish is available in plenty outside. She didn't notice it when she went out just now, so she didn't know if it was available outside her house. If it was, she would go out and take a look. Let's eat this dish today.
Mother Lin didn't quite understand why Lin Yunchu asked this, but she nodded in agreement. "There's some grass not far from our house. It rained a few days ago, and it's growing very tenderly now. I don't have to walk too far to get grass for the chickens."
After hearing what Lin's mother said, Lin Yunchu was delighted. Seeing Lin's mother's puzzled expression, he quickly explained:
"Mom, this is called bitter hemp vegetable. I have a way to cook it so that it's not bitter and tastes really good. I'm going out to pick some now and will cook it for you all to try later."
After saying that, he quickly walked out of the yard. Thinking about this dish in his mind, his steps became much lighter.
She was a well-known food blogger before, so these things were easy for her to get.
Lin Yunchu's words made Lin's mother a little stunned. After Lin Yunchu's figure disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, she finally reacted and hurriedly called Lin Changan.
"Your sister has gone out again. Go and take a look."
Yun Chu said that this dish was edible and tasted very good.
Maybe she hit her head these days and is a little confused.
This vegetable is very bitter and no one eats it. If she didn't see that it grew well, she wouldn't have picked it to feed the chickens.
Why is this child different these days, but she can't tell what's different.
When Lin Changan heard Lin's mother say that Lin Yunchu had gone out again, he ran out after her.
Lin Yunchu walked towards a sloping area. This bitter vegetable usually grows in the fields and grows tall and strong. As long as you see a large green area, you can look for it there.
Sure enough, as soon as I arrived at the slope, I saw the bittercress with thick leaves on the roadside. Some of them had their tops picked and had grown many new shoots.
Lin Yunchu raised the corner of his mouth and immediately stepped forward to pick them. With a "click", the tender buds were picked off and white juice immediately flowed out from the branches. If this juice stained clothes, it would be difficult to wash off.
Lin Yunchu bent down and picked the fruits carefully, not wanting the juice to splash onto his clothes.
Although the clothes on my body have been washed white a long time ago, they can still be worn. If they are stained by this juice, it will be difficult to wash. After drying, they will be gray. It is better to be careful.
By the time Lin Changan ran to the slope, Lin Yunchu had already picked a large bunch.
"Okay, let's go back."
Such a big bunch looks like a lot, but after blanching, there will only be one plate. However, it is enough for a meal. Let the Lin family try it first. There are plenty of these vegetables here anyway, and they can come back and pick them later when they want to eat them.
"You're going back now?"
Lin Chang'an was panting and speaking breathlessly. He looked at the handful of green vegetables in Lin Yunchu's hand and frowned slightly. Isn't this the vegetable that his mother often picked to feed the chickens? She was just chopping it at home to feed the chickens.
Why did my sister come out to pick this vegetable again? There is only one hen in their family, how could she eat so much?
"Sister, why are you picking this vegetable? The vegetables for feeding the chickens today have already been prepared. If you pick this now and leave it until tomorrow, it will wilt."
Lin Yunchu smiled slightly. The child thought she was picking these vegetables to feed the chickens.
"I picked this vegetable to eat today, not to feed the chickens."
She wouldn't get tired of eating such fresh and tender vegetables every day. It would be a waste to feed them to chickens.
This dish is much more delicious than what Lin's mother made these days.
As expected, Lin Yunchu's words surprised Lin Changan so much that his mouth opened wide, and he was afraid that he could swallow a whole egg.
He thinks this thing is too bitter to feed to chickens, so why would he run out and pick it to bring back for his family to eat?
I'm afraid my sister's brain is damaged.
Lin Changan didn't dare to say this out loud. Although his elder sister was usually timid, she had obviously been talking more in the past few days, and her temper didn't seem as soft as before.
If he dared to say that, he would probably be punished.
While thinking about it, Lin Changan couldn't help but hold his head, fearing that his sister would do the same to him.
Lin Changan's little thoughts were all written on his face. Lin Yunchu smiled and didn't want to explain too much. They would know after she cooked it and they all tried it.
"Do you believe me? I can make it into a delicious dish."
After saying this, without waiting for Lin Changan's reply, he turned around and walked back to the Lin family.
Only Lin Changan was left, staring blankly and a little dazed. He came to his senses when he realized that Lin Yunchu had gone far away, and hurriedly chased after him.
When Lin Yunchu returned to his yard, his mother was no longer under the eaves. She must have gone to the backyard to feed the chickens.
Mother Lin was most fond of the egg-laying hen in the backyard. She took great care of it every day and would only feel at ease after checking on it several times a day.
Lin Yunchu ignored him and found a basin for washing vegetables. He filled it with water and began to wash the handful of bitter vegetables he had just picked.
The most important thing about this dish is to blanch it. It tastes delicious no matter how you cook it.
