Chapter 38 Spicy Eel Soup
By the end of the 1970s, no one was very enthusiastic about working on the public land. Qiqi walked out of the courtyard and into the drying yard, where many villagers were chatting.
Qiqi remembers that by the beginning of next spring, her village had divided up the work according to the instructions from above.
At that time, everyone wished they could grow an extra hand so they could farm and do business, and they wished they could earn enough money in a day to last a lifetime.
She had to make some preparations early while no one knew about it.
That day, Qiqi looked at the riverbanks and slopes of several villages in front and behind.
There are many snake beds growing beside the puddles on the river bank, and it is the season for picking them.
There is also Achyranthes bidentata, which can also be picked.
Because they are produced all over the country, the prices of these two herbs are not high.
But May in spring is a good time for all things to grow. Most herbs are just beginning to sprout, grow leaves, and bloom. By the time they bear fruit in autumn, there will be many varieties to pick.
Now only herbs can be picked for their leaves, branches, and rhizomes.
Qiqi looked around the area of about ten miles and memorized every place where she could pick herbs.
If she could go to the deep forest behind the village, she would find rare herbs there that could be sold at a high price. But the deep forest was dangerous, so as a girl, it was better for her to avoid going there for the time being.
When the sun went down and Qiqi walked into the courtyard, she had already made up her mind that she would go to cut the snake bed with a sickle the next day. The large area of snake bed was on the river beach, only two or three miles away from Liangzhuang, with no villages in front or behind, so that fewer people would see it.
"Where have you been again? You don't even cook."
When Qiqi entered the room, Malanhua was standing at the door of the main room scolding Xiao Geng.
Xiao Geng was holding a wicker basket in his hand, and water was dripping from the bottom of the basket.
"I took my little hands to the river to catch snails."
Xiao Geng rubbed her dirty hands and didn't dare to look up at her mother.
"What's the point of touching that? It can be eaten or drunk. If you have time, you might as well go to the fields and pull some grass. You can also feed the pigs and donkeys."
Malanhua scolded Xiaogeng.
"Fuck your grandma, your hands are so dirty that you can't even show them to others. How can you cook for people to eat?"
"Mom, snails are edible. I'll make dinner for you. I guarantee you'll want to eat them again after trying them once."
Qiqi hurried forward and pulled Xiao Geng over.
"Some people are just like grandmas, doing nothing all day long. They don't even think about it. Everyone wants to ride in a sedan chair, but who will carry you?"
After Malanhua finished cursing, she turned around and walked into the house with her butt twisted.
Qiqi knew that her stepmother's words were an insult to her.
This is because he thinks she doesn't work all day and just eats free meals.
But now she still wants to use her, marry her into the Yan family, and find a job for Hongguo. Otherwise, the stepmother will definitely rush over and slap her twice.
"Sister, there are two more eels coming."
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Xiao Geng took out a fat eel from the basket and showed it to Qiqi.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the water quality was good, there were many ditches and rivers, and there were many eels, loaches, clams, and snails. But no one ate them. They were all fat and big.
"Then let's make eel soup for dinner."
The snails cannot be eaten on the same day, they must be placed in a basin of water overnight to spit out the mud. Qiqi asked Xiaogeng to clean the snails and put them in a basin to let them spit out the mud.
Qiqi mixed a small piece of white flour and a bowl of red taro flour.
She kneaded the dough, and Xiao Geng prepared the eel and brought it into the house.
Qiqi asked Xiaogeng to cut the eel into small pieces. Because the eel was very fat, she scooped out some fat from it. Qiqi first put the fat into the big iron pot.
