Rebirth in 1987, the fierce wife is not to be messed with!
Chapter 11: Digging for herbs, catching crabs, and making sauces
The whispers between the mother and son upstairs did not reach Yuan Yuan's ears at all.
The next morning, before daybreak, she got up and went to the kitchen to see that the food was very little. Even the rice jar was less than half a finger deep. Yuan Yuan did not hesitate and turned around and walked out the door.
Taking advantage of the dim starlight, Yuan Yuan headed straight for the back mountain of Jiangjia Village.
Jiangjia Village is in a mountain valley, with a huge mountain behind it. The mountain is majestic and long, and the area is very large. She knows that in a few years, this place will be designated as a nature reserve. Since it is a nature reserve, there are naturally a lot of edible things growing there. There are also countless mountain delicacies...
Putting aside the very punishing items, the rest are enough for her to eat.
In the late 1980s, the Future Nature Reserve, which had not been polluted, was indeed full of vitality. In her previous life, Yuan Yuan often went into the mountains to collect herbs to help support her family, and later she had acquired considerable professional medical knowledge. Now that she has returned to her old job, and working entirely for herself, her eyes are even brighter, and she is alert and alert, looking for things that can be sold.
Fireweed, five-fingered peach, wild ginseng... To her surprise, she found more than a dozen mountain Ganoderma lucidum among a few rotten trees. Each one was the size of a palm. Yuan Yuan carefully plucked them off and wrapped them with tree leaves.
When we got to the mountain stream, it was very clear and gurgling. More than a decade later, it was found that the air negative ion content in this place was extremely high, and it was developed into a nationally famous tourist resort. The room rate in the off-season alone was four figures per night, and it was still in short supply.
And now...she is kept in seclusion and unknown to the world. The whole stream belongs to Yuan Yuan!
Yuan Yuan was at a flat part of the mountain stream, planning to catch a kind of small crab that was unique to the stream and take it back to make crab sauce to eat with rice.
——If you always eat moldy tofu, it will easily cause health problems!
As far as I can remember, Dong Yuehe died very early, probably because of a cardiovascular disease. A spicy and high-salt diet was one of the main causes.
"Let's get some crab sauce, some meat, and some vegetables. Food is the most important thing for people. We need to fill our stomachs to live!" Yuan Yuan sat by the stream, using cattails she picked to weave a hexagonal basket for catching crabs. She was nimble and humming a song she made up, "La la la la..."
Lift up the scattered rocks in the mountain stream, scoop them up with a woven hexagonal basket, and after draining the water, you will see thumb-sized crabs crawling around in the basket in panic - these small crabs called "蟛蜞" are the best ingredient for making crab sauce!
The early bird catches the worm. When Yuan Yuan came down the mountain with a full harvest, the first wisp of smoke rose in the village. At the intersection on the way up the mountain, Jiang Zhou ran towards her. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of her: "Why did you come up the mountain without saying a word?"
"Jiang Zhou? How did you know I went up the mountain?"
Jiang Zhou had a dark face and looked very unhappy. With contradictory movements, he helped her carry the heavy basket. "I followed the trail all the way here - don't worry about it! Don't do this again in the future. There are leopards on that mountain. It's very dangerous!"
His aura was too strong, and Yuan Yuan shrank her neck: "You helped me, I want to help you a little."
Jiang Zhou said: "No need!"
He carried the backpack on his back, and he walked briskly, as if it was nothing, even though it was so heavy. Yuan Yuan had to jog to keep up with him. By the time she saw the blue brick door of the courtyard, her heart was already pounding and she was panting.
"We're back." Jiang Zhou entered the courtyard and saw Dong Yuehe standing at the door. Yuan Yuan felt even more guilty. She lowered her head and said, "I'm back."
Fortunately, Dong Yuehe did not blame her. She looked calm and said, "I'm glad you're back."
Yuan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and followed him into the house.
She was afraid that the crabs would die, so the first thing she did when she got home was to go into the kitchen, find a big bowl, put the crabs in it, sprinkle a handful of salt, and add a few drops of cooking liquor. The crabs were now left spitting bubbles.
Looking at her smooth operation, Jiang Zhou and Dong Yuehe looked at each other in surprise.
Jiang Zhou asked hesitantly, "What are you doing?"
Yuan Yuan said: "Making crab sauce can be mixed with noodles or rice."
She paused and said, "If you don't let me pay for food, I can cook something in return. Is that okay?"
As he spoke, he smiled broadly at Dong Yuehe and her son. Dong Yuehe was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course."
Jiang Zhou’s main strategy is to keep silent.
Seeing Yuan Yuan busy and happy, Dong Yuehe took the initiative to stay and help. She couldn't hide her curiosity about this crab sauce: "Xiao Yuan, this kind of crab is usually eaten by ducks. Can you really eat it by fiddling with it like this?"
"Of course!" Yuan Yuan learned how to make this sauce from the owner of the snack stand next door when she was setting up a stall in her previous life. Later, she became better than the original owner. She is confident in her talent in this area. "This is the way people on the coast eat. We don't have it in our area. Teacher, I want you to do me a favor."
Dong Yuehe was stunned: "What can I help you with?"
She cleaned and drained the crabs quickly, most of which were already drunk. Yuan Yuan did it very well, saying, "When the crab sauce is ready, help me taste it. If it tastes good, I'll take it to the town to sell!"
She was full of enthusiasm, which infected Dong Yuehe, who smiled and said, "Of course."
Dong Yuehe, who couldn't help much, was reluctant to leave the kitchen and just watched from the side. Relying on the memories of her previous life, Yuan Yuan quickly made three bowls of crab sauce, which was salty and fragrant, and lined them up. Dong Yuehe couldn't help swallowing: "How long does it take to eat this?"
Yuan Yuan said: "It will be ready after six hours. However, it will taste best if it is left overnight. And if the temperature is right, it can be kept for seven days. After seven days, it cannot be eaten."
At this point, she couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's a pity that there is no preservation technology, otherwise, it can be stored for three months."
Dong Yuehe didn't hear clearly what she said next, and was worried for her: "This is just a small amount, and it can only last for seven days. How are you going to sell it?"
Yuan Yuan said: "I'll just give it a try. There are plenty of crabs in the mountain streams, and the cost is almost nothing. Even if I fail, it doesn't matter, because failure is the mother of success."
Dong Yuehe nodded in appreciation: "Being self-reliant and strong and independent is the right way."
Although she couldn't help with cooking, Dong Yuehe took the initiative to help Yuan Yuan pack and dry the herbs she brought back. She also said that she had a student who was in charge of purchasing at the town's pharmacy, and Yuan Yuan could try to find that student when the time came.
Yuan Yuan naturally agreed.
It was a very good day with a strong sun. After a whole day, the herbs were mostly dry. Dong Yuehe had to go to work, while Jiang Zhou hid on the second floor after breakfast and never showed up again. He said that he wanted to avoid suspicion.
