Chapter 16： Delicious mushroom porridge

Chapter 16 Delicious Mushroom Porridge

Jiang Ning twitched his lips and said calmly: "I thought that before I married your father, I was also a good hand in my parents' family. There were so many people from all over the country who wanted to marry me!"

Several children blinked in unison. Is this the person A Niang is talking about herself?

Jiang Ning was embarrassed, "Everything I said is true! If your father hadn't been unreliable, would I have become like that?"

She didn't tell lies. The original owner was also a neat person in her mother's family before she got married. Apart from being a bit fierce and bad-tempered, she was quite diligent. Later, she married Yang Hu. Yang Hu was not a good man and coaxed her with sweet words. After getting it, he started to be restless. He not only liked to eat and was lazy, but also molested women from good families. He hung out with a few gangsters all day long, embarrassing the good-looking and vain original owner again and again.

The original owner stared at Yang Hu all day long, not caring about her family. Over time, it became a habit. In addition, in the following years, Yang Hu became more and more outrageous and would beat her, which made her even more broken. .

The children didn't even laugh when they thought of their unattractive father. Liu Ye even sympathized with her mother-in-law. Marrying is a woman's second rebirth. Not only was her mother-in-law not reborn, she almost got stuck in the quagmire and couldn't get out. Look. Liu Ye, her mother-in-law who is getting better and better now, suddenly feels that it is a good thing that her father-in-law died like this.

Of course, she only dared to think about such words, not to say them at all.

The children watched for a while and saw Jiang Ning picking mushrooms and they were all eager to try it. However, they didn't know him and were afraid of picking poisonous mushrooms, so they could only watch dryly, and then they all ran to pick up melon seeds.

Yang Santie picked for a while and found that there were not many melon seeds left to pick, so he simply walked up the mountain. After a while, he shouted: "Brother, there are pheasants and hares!"

Yang Datou immediately put down what he was doing, picked up the guy and rushed up.

Pheasants and hares react quickly and quickly. They ran away without a trace in a blink of an eye. Jiang Ning didn’t think a few children had that ability, but she didn’t stop her and continued to pull at her own mushrooms.

Digging as much as possible before the sun comes out. When the sun comes out, some fungi will rot quickly, and when the temperature rises, it will be impossible to pick them.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning was a little anxious, and told Yang Erdan and Yang Xiaoya: "Come with me to the bamboo forest to see if there are any bamboo fungus. If there is, I will let you pick it, okay? ?”

The two children nodded together. They had already explored the bamboo forest thoroughly in order to cut the bamboo. When Jiang Ning went there, she asked two children to lead the way. When she described the appearance of the bamboo fungus, the two children actually found it for her.

Yang Erdan and Yang Xiaoya seemed to be cheating after they knew what bamboo fungus was, one after another. Jiang Ning watched for a while and made sure that they were fine before continuing back to the foot of Qingfeng Mountain to pick mushrooms.

She was busy until the sun rose. She spread the mushrooms into the baskets of several children, covered them with wild vegetables and thatch, and the family crossed the field to go home.

It is rare to encounter villagers working on the road. Everyone craned their necks to take a look and greeted Yang Datou, "You came back from the mountains so early! What did you find?"

“No! I went into the mountains to pick wild vegetables, cut thatch, and build a house!” Yang Datou responded with a silly smile.

With all the fuss yesterday, the villagers all knew that the two shabby houses assigned to the Jiang family were uninhabitable. They were repairing thatched huts. They didn't doubt Yang Datou's words at all. Some even praised Jiang Ning for his sexual transformation and finally knew how to work.

Jiang Ning tugged at the corner of his mouth speechlessly. After bringing the mushrooms back, he quickly asked a few children to get the gua trichosanthes back.

At this time, Yang Erdan and Yang Xiaoya also came back. Both of their baskets were filled with eight percent bamboo fungus. After the two little guys knocked down the bamboo fungus, they still wanted to pick it, but Jiang Ning called out, " That’s enough! Let’s pick these for now and send them to the town for a look at the big market. If anyone buys them, we’ll get more next time.”

The two children stopped.

After Yang Datou brought Gualou back, he immediately went to the ground with Yang Erdan. Liuye was busy making clothes in the thatched shed, and Yang Xiaoya was helping her.

Yang Santie took Yang Sizhuang to deal with the melons, while Jiang Ning took care of the mushrooms alone.

Pick out the ones that cannot be put away and cook them today. The ones that can be dried are sorted and put on the roof of the straw shed to dry. The four large round dustpans she bought are not enough. It seems that she will have to buy a few more next time she goes to town.

Liu Ye heard her murmuring and said quickly: "Aniang, Da Tou can weave a dustpan. It just so happens that there are a few unused bamboos at home. Just let him do it and save a few pennies."

Nearly every man in the village can do these knitting tasks.

Jiang Ning quickly asked Yang Xiaoya to go to the fields to talk to Yang Datou and go over to cook for everyone.

The morning was so busy that it was almost noon. The whole family hadn't eaten, and no one said a word.

She shook her head helplessly, went to the warehouse to get some brown rice, washed the remaining mushrooms, and planned to make a plain mushroom porridge for the whole family. In order to make everyone feel full, she also put in more grain and made some Picked up half a cabbage and went down.

The porridge was not yet cooked, but the aroma had already spread out, making the children who were working so hungry that they could not sit still and frequently peeked over at her.

Jiang Ning curled her lips in a funny way. When the porridge was ready and Yang Datou and the two brothers came back, she immediately announced that dinner was ready.

There are only two sets of bowls and chopsticks at home, and the remaining people use bamboo tubes as bowls, which they can barely use.

Those children who had never tasted mushroom porridge had just taken a bite, and their eyes lit up as if they had discovered a new world.

"Aniang! Is this a mushroom? It's so delicious! Why don't people in the village eat it?" Yang Santie was excited and puzzled. He quickly licked the porridge in the bowl and kept slapping it. ask.

Jiang Ning was helpless, "Eat first, then talk after eating!"

A few children devoured a pot of porridge, finishing it in less than two minutes. They were still unsatisfied, and the bottom of the pot was almost scraped clean. They still stared at it without blinking.

Yang Sizhuang looked at Jiang Ning longingly and begged: "Mom, can we cook this rice again tonight? I want to eat it!"

He has never had such a delicious meal in his whole life.

Everyone else nodded in agreement, and even the most reserved Liuye couldn't help but express his stance.

Jiang Ning readily agreed.

The children were all very motivated after having such a surprise meal. Those who could not go to the fields at noon went into the mountains, so Yang Datou took several younger brothers to the mountains. They took away all the sickles and woodchopping knives at home, and they were very happy. It is said that even if there is no harvest, you can get some firewood back.

Jiang Ning naturally had no objection to the heavy use of firewood at home. Seeing Liu Ye and Yang Xiaoya making clothes again, she took a short break and then got up to continue processing the melons.

The first batch of Trichosanthes trichosanthes is almost dried, and it is estimated that it should weigh more than 20 kilograms. The next batch will be harvested in two days, and can be delivered to Hong'an Hall in the town the day before the big market.

As soon as she finished packing the melons, Yang Sizhuang rushed into the yard excitedly, "Aniang, Aniang! Guess what good stuff we got!"
