Grandma Li sat down and said, "Want to go back? It's already this hour and it's already late for dinner. Why don't you rest here for the night and go back tomorrow? I'll ask your uncle to see you off tomorrow morning."

Su Ziling shook her head, "I'm rushing back to make noodles tonight. I've been busy celebrating the August Festival and harvesting corn for the past few days, so I haven't set up a stall. I have to set up a stall tomorrow."

When she heard that she was going to start a stall, Grandma Li didn't give any more advice. This was all for the sake of living.

"Since I'm not resting here, I'll go cook and then go back after eating."

Su Ziling quickly took Grandma Li's hand. Before she could say anything, Grandma Li said, "Why, if you don't rest here, you won't eat?"

Su Ziling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Eat, eat, eat, I'll cook. Go quickly and bring out all the delicious food."

Grandma Li nodded with satisfaction, "That's pretty much it. You go and make a fire. You can find the things wherever they are. I remember there is a dried pheasant hanging upstairs. I'll get it and make you a dried chicken stew." Mushroom."

After speaking, Grandma Li didn't forget to talk to Su Zizhong, "Zizhong, sit here for a while, the food will be ready soon. If you are bored, you can go out and have a look, but there is nothing to see outside."

Su Zizhong nodded, "I understand, cousin, go and do your work."

Su Ziling was lighting the fire, and Grandma Li was already upstairs. When she heard the mushrooms, she was stunned, "Grandma, where did you get the mushrooms?"

"I didn't get much from the fields two days ago when I harvested the rice. But you came just in time and there was still a little left. Speaking of harvesting the rice, I ground some new rice and put it in the cupboard. We will use the new rice to cook in a moment. .”

Grandma Li came down with a dried pheasant and soaked it in hot water.

Su Ziling was quite surprised to hear that their rice had been harvested, "Huh? Is your rice ready to be harvested? Ours hasn't been harvested yet. It's probably a few days away."

"We planted early this year. You haven't had any rain. I guess you planted a few days late." Grandma Li said as she scooped two bowls of rice. Seeing that she was about to scoop the third bowl, Su Ziling quickly stopped her. Got her.

"That's enough, that's enough, grandma."

"This is only two bowls of rice. It's not enough. It's not enough for your cousins ​​to stuff their teeth." Grandma Li scooped out another bowl.

Su Ziling hurried over and took the basin over. Afraid of being slow, Grandma Li scooped out another bowl of rice, "Grandma, that's enough. Let's cook some porridge today. I brought some good things, and I'll cook some porridge for you." "

"Okay, okay," Grandma Li reluctantly put the bowl back, telling her that two more bowls of rice would be enough to make dry rice.

Su Ziling raised the fire and added water to the pot. After washing the rice, she put the rice in the pot and boiled it.

She took the backpack to the kitchen and took out everything.

Seeing so many things, grandma stood aside and started talking.

"Every time I bring so much stuff, it's not like grandma has nothing to eat. Just keep it for yourselves and eat it. Don't take it next time, do you hear me?"

"I didn't hear that." Su Ziling replied with a smile.

This sentence immediately choked Grandma Li.

Seeing this, Grandma Li poked her forehead and said helplessly, "You girl, you don't know who you followed."

"Grandma, where are my uncle and the others?" Su Ziling took out the preserved eggs and added three of them to the porridge to make preserved egg and lean meat porridge. There is no lean meat, but you can chop a pheasant leg and cook it, which will be more fragrant.

The cooked porridge not only has the aroma of preserved eggs, but also the aroma of pheasant.

"Your two cousins ​​took your third cousin to sell konjac and tofu, and your two uncles and aunts and your grandpa went to harvest corn. You have finished harvesting corn, and we just started harvesting it today."

Although there are only two mountains between the two sides, the climate is really different. If you plant corn at the same time, it can be harvested in Baihuadong, but it will be harvested a few days later in Liushugou.

"Is konjac tofu still on sale?"

"Yes, why not? When I first started selling, I went to find the ones on the roadside that no one wanted. I sold them one after another for a while. Hey, don't tell me, the business is pretty good. These days, those things in the field are Now that we can dig it, we make more. Many people just throw it on the roadside after digging it up. Your cousins ​​go to the roadside to pick it up every day."

Speaking of konjac tofu, Grandma Li beamed, thinking that she really made money.

"It's not enough to just pick up and dig up wild ones. You can grow some yourself. With so many people at home, open up some fields and plant one or two acres in March. Wouldn't it be a big sale?" Su Ziling reminded.

"You're right. Your grandfather and several uncles thought the same way. After the corn is harvested and the taxes are paid, let your cousins ​​sell konjac and tofu, and we old guys will go to open up wasteland and slowly open up. By March next year, I guess it will be almost done, but thanks to the fact that konjac is easy to survive and can grow anywhere, if it is as picky as corn, I'm afraid this wasteland will have to be cultivated for another two years."

While the two were talking, they heard the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong coming from the yard. Grandma Li paused while washing the mushrooms and pointed outside, "I guess it's your cousin and the others who are back."

Su Ziling turned over the rice in the pot, soaked a handful of vermicelli in hot water, turned around and walked out.

As soon as they went out, they saw three cousins ​​standing in the yard, and Su Zizhong stood at the door of the hall. The four of them looked at each other, and no one knew anyone.

As soon as Su Ziling went out, the four of them were obviously relieved, "Cousin is here?"

Two cousins ​​walked towards the kitchen, "Who is that?"

"My eldest brother!" Su Ziling took their buckets and said to Su Zizhong: "Brother, these are my two cousins. The eldest cousin is one year older than you, and the second cousin is the same age as you, but You seem to be a few days older than him, this is my third cousin, and there is another younger cousin who has gone somewhere."

Several people nodded and said hello, looking very unfamiliar.

At this time Grandma Li came out, "All sold out? It went very fast today!"

"The weather is hot, so it's best to eat some cold konjac tofu and pickled konjac tofu. Those who have eaten it before are rushing to buy it, and those who have never eaten it will naturally buy it to try it." The eldest cousin Li Zeqi put the bucket away and drank. He took a sip and explained patiently.

Third cousin Li Zelan picked up a bucket and said, "My cousin is here, let's catch two fish. I remember my cousin likes to eat that."

Second cousin Li Mujin nodded and agreed, "You can also catch some river shrimps. They weren't very fat when she came last time."

Grandma Li smiled and pointed at Li Zelan, "You, you, I think you want to eat it!"

Li Zelan chuckled and said, "Grandma, why don't you tell me if you see it? Besides, my cousin also likes to eat it, right? Cousin?" After saying that, he winked at Su Ziling.

Su Ziling burst out laughing, "Yes, I quite like eating it." This is true, the fish and river shrimp here are much fatter than those in Baihua Cave.

Hearing Su Ziling say he liked it, Li Zelan jumped up and hooked Su Zizhong's shoulder, "Brother Su, please come with us, just in time to catch more. You don't know, we have a lot of fish here, and the most important thing is that my cousin did it." A perfect fish."

Speaking of the fish cooked by Su Ziling last time, Li Zelan's mouth watered.

Later, they also went to catch fish. Whether it was Grandma Li, his mother, or the second aunt, the three of them took turns, but they couldn't make it taste like Su Ziling's.
