Wearing books in the 70s: the delicate educated youth have material space

Han Chen hid the pen, and Cheng Xu and the two also prepared the meal. Han Chen, who made a fire and ran away halfway, actively served the food before the meal and cleaned up after the meal. He didn't even go out to play with Cheng Xu and He Yueyue. Then follow behind as a tail.

He Yueyue: "Xuxu, there are quite a lot of people in your village."

Cheng Xu doesn't work, but this time is actually the time to work. He eats and strolls around the village. There are many villagers working in the fields, and there are not a few of them.

Cheng Xu: "Our village has a small population. You see so many people now, but half of them are urbanites who come to support rural construction."

He Yueyue: "No wonder I just saw some young people not working quickly."

People here see Cheng Xu taking people around, and occasionally say hello to Cheng Xu and greet He Yueyue. Some people think that He Yueyue has a different temperament and think that he is similar to Cheng Xutao.

"Cheng Xu, I want to ask you something. Can I come to you after work?" asked the male educated youth in the Educated Youth Court.

Cheng Xu had no friendship with these people, so he treated them like strangers. As long as it was nothing troublesome, Cheng Xu would agree to anything that was convenient.

"Okay, you can do it after you get off work."

Cheng Xu held a small hoe in her hand, and He Yueyue held a small basket in her hand. While strolling around, they wanted to dig up some wild vegetables to take home. She didn’t grow many vegetables in the field, and eating them continuously every day consumed a lot of food. , there are only a few varieties, it’s easy to get tired of eating, so dig some wild vegetables back to eat fresh.

She planned to dig up the roots of the folded ears. There were also tender ones when she dug them, and people here rarely ate the roots of the folded ears because they were not used to it.

Zheergen is also known as Houttuynia cordata. Like coriander, it is inseparable from people who love to eat it, and makes people who don’t like it want to get rid of it. Cheng Xu belongs to the chosen one, and everyone loves to eat Zheergen. There are two things to consider: Which one is my favorite among readers, it must be the Zheergen.

The most common way to eat Zheergen here is cold salad. Later, Zheergen also evolved into hot pot, skewers, and stir-fried bacon or fresh meat.

The taste will also be different. The cold Zheer root is crispy, and the Zheer root has a stronger taste. After being cooked at high temperature, the Zheer root will become soft. Some people can't accept it cold, but they can eat it. Fried or boiled.

She seemed not to know whether the two at home could accept this food.

Walking to a field ridge, Cheng Xu carefully looked for the small buds sprouting from the root of the folded ear. After finding it, he pointed it out to He Yueyue: "Yueyue, look at this leaf. The wild vegetable we are looking for today is this root of the folded ear. You can't Pull it directly and dig down along its root system."

She directly demonstrated the digging process to He Yueyue. The leaves of the folded ear root were still small and did not grow very big. The dug root system was not very long either, but the whole root system was very tender and tasted better.

The roots dug out from the soil are easy to take care of. Just break off the soil immediately after digging them out of the soil, and the roots will be clean. She has dug up the roots in the wetland before, and when she dug them out, the roots were covered with mud. Very difficult to clean.

He Yueyue noticed that there were many leaves of the folded ear root around: "There are so many around here, why is no one eating them?"

Cheng Xu: "Not everyone eats this. I heard that in the past, the village would dig it out and eat it when there was no food, or take it as medicine. This Zheer root can clear away heat, reduce inflammation, and be a diuretic."

Cheng Xu's parents told her this. Cheng Xu's father is not a real local, and the habit of eating folded ear root was passed down from Cheng Xu's father's generation, Cheng Xu's grandfather. In addition to Cheng Xu's family, Cheng Ma, Cheng Xu and Cheng Ran all eat it.

Since no one else in Liujia Village likes to eat it, and the root of the folded ear is one of those that can grow a large piece of it if you don't take care of it, so every time the Cheng family wants to eat it, they just dig it out freshly without having to take care of it. Worried about not having enough to eat, there are only a few people in Liujia Village who eat Zheer root.

He Yueyue was a little curious about the taste: "What does this taste like? Why are there so few people who like to eat it?"

The smell of Zheergen is strong, and the smell is not that hard to accept, but it tastes like eating raw fish without removing the scales. This is what people who don’t like to eat describe it. Cheng Xu loves to eat it, so he doesn’t know how. describe.

Cheng Xu: "The taste is...I can't describe it. You will know it when you get home and make it."

He Yueyue took the clean folded ear root to the tip of her nose and smelled it. The smell was not as strange as expected. She was looking forward to tasting it at night.

There was a whole basket full of folded ear roots in the basket. Cheng Xu went to the extreme and only wanted the tender parts, but not the ones that looked a little old. He went home with a full load.

On the way back, people in the village were still at work. Some people with good eyesight saw the basket in He Yueyue's hand and asked, "Cheng Xu, is your family eating Zheer roots tonight?"

When this word is mentioned, these villagers all look ugly. They all don't believe in evil and think that even the Cheng family can eat it, so why can't they get used to it? I don't know why. After the locals tasted Zhe'er root, they all shunned it.

Cheng Xu dug a big basket and was very happy. He walked to the villagers and said proudly: "I will make cold and stir-fried folded root tonight and let my friends come and try this dish."

The soles of the villagers' feet are cold, but they are all talented people. Forget about cold dishes, there are also stir-fried ones.

It sounds like dark cuisine at first glance.

The educated youths next door couldn't stand it. They were also the ones who tried this Zheergen without any belief in evil when they first came here: "Cheng Xu, do you have any other dishes at your house tonight? Don't eat this Zheergen. You will Vomited."

Cheng Xu thanked him for his kindness: "No, I can eat this Zheer root. If my friend can't eat it, I can just make another dish."

The educated youth had come to the village not long ago, so of course he knew that the family in the village would eat the root of the fungus, but he was also surprised. He had been here for several years, and this was the first time he knew that Cheng Xu would eat the root of the fungus.

Cheng Xu didn't eat it when he lived with Uncle Liu before, because Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhou also didn't know how to eat Zheer roots, and Cheng Xu, a person who couldn't cook, couldn't open his mouth and let Uncle Liu and the others eat it. Go dig and do it.

Cheng Xu rarely came to the fields to dig for ear roots before.

Male educated youth: "Then what does this dish taste like when you eat it?"

Cheng Xu: .....

There will be such a person who, although he cannot eat it and does not like to eat it, will be curious about what the food tastes like when someone who loves it eats it.

"It smells fragrant."

Male educated youth: .....

Cheng Xu seemed to have told a cold joke, but no one around him answered.
