The years when I opened a farmhouse in my hometown

Chapter 25 Delicious Shepherd's Purse Buns

"Anchor! Look at me, look at me! I just like to eat shepherd's purse! Use shepherd's purse to make wontons. You don't need anything else, just use mustard greens. I can eat two big bowls in one go! It's really delicious, not greasy at all! Strong Ask the anchor to sell shepherd's purse!"

"My mother also likes to dig this kind of wild vegetables to make dumplings. However, the ones she digs are old and small, and they taste very rough. But every time I eat, I dare not say it directly, for fear that my mother will beat me! Because I Mom said, this wild vegetable is very nutritious and should not be wasted."

"The shepherd's purse on the host's side looks very big and grows well. The leaves are very green and tender at first glance. Host, I also eat this wild vegetable. I like to put shepherd's purse in the leek box haha. A little egg, delicious to burst!",

"I ate this from the anchor Amway."

…………

Seeing that netizens still have a high acceptance of wild shepherd's purse, Shen Xiaoyun is also a little happy. Now that he has found a business opportunity, he is holding on to it and trying to sell every plant and tree in Yunshui Village for money!

This kind of wild shepherd's purse can be found all over the mountains and plains. Once dug, there will be another batch. It doesn't need artificial cultivation, and it will grow a lot after a month at most.

Not only shepherd's purse, but also edible wild vegetables such as dandelion, purslane, water celery, zheer root, bracken, perilla, etc. And the taste is more fresh and sweet than that in the home-grown vegetable field.When Shen Xiaoyun thought about it this way, she felt that their Yunshui Village was really a treasure house, which could breed so much food every season, and now the food bestowed on them by nature could make them rich.

"In three or four days, I will sell shepherd's purse after everyone receives the sweet potato leaves. Shepherd's purse and sweet potato leaves are vegetables with many leaves, and they are easy to rot during transportation. After everyone receives the sweet potato leaves, I will sell them in person. After inspection, the leaves are all fresh, I will distribute shepherd's purse to everyone." Shen Xiaoyun thought for a while and said to netizens.

"Why not sell it now? Anyway, I trust the anchor."

"I really like eating shepherd's purse. The courier will be sent out tomorrow, and it will take two days to receive it. By then, the sweet potato leaves will have been eaten. I'm still waiting for the dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse."

"Because my family is going to build a house, it was originally scheduled for today. This is not because I was busy distributing Chinese toon in the morning, so I wasted some time. I will pack the sweet potato leaves and go back to help later. I guess I'm busy these days, so is digging wild vegetables. This is a time-consuming job. During this period of time, people in the village have come to my house to help, and there is no time to dig wild vegetables all over the mountains and plains, so everyone will have to wait for this shepherd’s purse for a few days.” Shen Xiaoyun said that this is still a little exciting, and building a house in Yunshui Village is a big one. What's more, Shen Xiaoyun still plans to use this house for farmhouse entertainment.

"Is it a farmhouse?" The netizens in the live broadcast room guessed it immediately.

"Wow! It's finally going to be built. I don't know how long it will take. I've been looking forward to the anchor building the small farmyard soon. If it had been earlier, I could have gone to the mountains to pick mushrooms."

"By the way, the host would like to ask you, when will the farmhouse be built? You can tell me an approximate time, and I will take a rest earlier."

Shen Xiaoyun thought for a while, and gave an approximate number of days: "It should be about a week. If the people in our village build houses, all the villagers will come to help, and hundreds of people will contribute at the same time. Generally speaking, one family builds a house. The house can be built in just one day. My farmhouse is several times larger than ordinary farm houses, and it may take more time. Don’t be surprised. The houses here, as you have seen, are all bungalows, and the style is very simple. After laying the foundation, it can be built. Everyone divides the work and cooperates, and the efficiency is very fast. After the sweet potato leaves are packed, I will take everyone to have a look."

In the past, Shen Xiaoyun didn't think it was strange to build houses in Yunshui Village like this. When he left Yunshui Village, he was quite shocked when he saw those construction sites and private buildings, which had been going back and forth for months, or even years.

Although Yunshui Village is only a small mountain village with only a little more than 100 households, each of these 100-odd households has its own craft.

There are bamboo craftsmen who specialize in weaving various bamboo products, bricklayers who make bricks and tiles, masons who can build houses, butchers who kill pigs, tailors who make clothes, cooks who make miso for soy sauce, and bean curds who can make all kinds of beans. There are bean curd Xi Shi who make finished products, carpenters who know how to make all kinds of furniture, gentlemen who know Feng Shui, porcelain people who make all kinds of earthen pots, veterinarians who know poultry and livestock, of course there are also barefoot doctors, and old men who can teach, in short. The villagers in the water village each have their own skills, each running their own small business, and they still live in an orderly manner in an environment closed to the outside world.

According to the ancestors, in the early years of Yunshui Village, a high-ranking official and his family and servants migrated to the mountains to avoid the crime of beheading, and even settled down in the mountains with a group of supporters, living a life isolated from the world.

Regardless of whether this statement is true or false, Shen Xiaoyun feels that it is somewhat reliable. Although Yunshui Village is small and closed to the outside world, the life is not worse than that outside, and each family has handicrafts that can be sold. The days are also very comfortable.Every time Shen Xiaoyun compares Yunshui Village with other villages, she has a faint feeling that their village is a group of high-ranking people living in seclusion.

Although I didn't eat wild vegetables for the first time, but when I heard Shen Xiaoyun said that I would start building a farmhouse, the netizens in the live broadcast room suddenly became energetic. They really wanted to see what kind of group it would take to build a farmhouse in just one week people.

They heard from the anchor that the whole village would be mobilized, and they couldn't imagine such a scene.

Holding the mobile phone, Shen Xiaoyun walked back along the path. When he arrived at his yard, there were already many villagers carrying baskets full of sweet potato leaves waiting to be weighed.

"Xiaoxiao is back, hurry up and call me, I'll go to your house to help later." Several aunts are busy doing things, and Shen Xiaoyun doesn't have time to interact with netizens, so she quickly completes the sale link and draws up the price , This time I will not engage in pre-sales, and I will directly issue purchase links. The inventory is also unprecedentedly large, with an inventory of 99999!

"Hi everyone, the sweet potato leaf sales link has been sent out, just click the little yellow cart on the bottom left. The price is three yuan per catty, which is still the trial camp price, five catties per copy, and the same does not include postage. Please Please forgive me." Relatively speaking, this price is a bit high, especially compared with Chunsun, it is three times higher.But compared with the prices outside, it is still very cheap.And Shen Xiaoyun just wanted to earn some money from these sweet potato leaves. When the farmhouse was built, the empty house would need to buy some furniture, so it was relying on these sweet potato leaves to bring in liquidity.

"I set this relatively high price for sweet potato leaves because I have a special way to ensure that these sweet potato leaves are delivered to you fresh and undamaged. If there are any damaged or rotten leaves, I will return them all. Money for everyone." Fresh and tender vegetables with leaves like this one, which have a lot of juice in the leaves, will rot during transportation.

Fortunately, he has a special system that can draw fresh-keeping symbols anytime and anywhere, which can ensure that the vegetables are as fresh as they were just picked.

"This price is indeed much more expensive than the previous spring bamboo shoots and toon, but it is not unacceptable. Since the anchor said that it will be refunded if it is broken, then I will place an order."

"Oh my god, look what I found. The anchor won't do pre-sales this time, nor will they be limited! The moment I saw the payment, I couldn't believe it was real, and I was able to grab it!"

"I saw it too, and I was so moved. I didn't get it in the previous two pre-sales, so I could only stare helplessly. The more I watched, the more I felt sorry for myself. Now that I've placed an order, it's as if I've snatched a baby."

"Well, there is no limit now, so I'll give it a try. Anyway, it's only a few dozen dollars. Let's see if these sweet potato leaves are really as delicious as the anchor said."

"I have eaten the bamboo shoots sold by the anchor, and I think it is worth it. The taste is more than ten times better than those sold outside. I really am not exaggerating. I believe that the sweet potato leaves sold by the anchor this time will not be exaggerated. Okay, no Enough talking, I'm going to place an order!"

After a few days of accumulation, there are currently more than 6 people online in Shen Xiaoyun's live broadcast room, more than half of which are recommended by the live broadcast platform and many new netizens have poured in.In the current few minutes, more than 600 people have placed orders for sweet potato leaves, and the number is still rising. Shen Xiaoyun is quite satisfied with this result.

The sudden price increase is indeed a bit difficult for many netizens who originally accepted the low price.But now is the time to spend money, and the newly built farmhouse needs to add a lot of things, all of which require money.The price of sweet potato leaves is a bit high, but compared to the outside, it is really much cheaper, and he also promised that if there are any broken ones, all refunds will be made.

What's more, sweet potato leaves are not like bamboo shoots in spring. They are easily broken and damaged when they are crushed or bumped. He also needs to find a bamboo craftsman in the village to weave some small long cylindrical bamboo baskets to fix the sweet potato leaves in order to prevent violent express delivery from damaging them. Sweet potato leaves.

Thinking of this, Shen Xiaoyun hurriedly called the bamboo craftsmen in the village. Several bamboo craftsmen in the village were helping build houses near Shen Xiaoyun.

"Xiaoxiao, what does the bamboo basket you mentioned look like? Tell us in detail." The bamboo craftsmen asked: "How about this, Xiaoxiao, draw it so that we can do what you said .”

Shen Xiaoyun thought it was feasible, so he brought a pen and notebook from the room, and drew the shape he wanted with just a few strokes.

"That's it?" The bamboo craftsman showed doubts in his eyes, he was a little puzzled, Shen Xiaoyun asked him to make something like a chopstick holder that even a child could weave, but actually asked several of them bamboo craftsmen to do it.

Shen Xiaoyun felt very guilty, but he couldn't help it.

"Yes, that's it. I want to use these bamboo tubes to pack vegetables. If I wrap them up like that, the fresh vegetables will be crushed in the hands of the buyers." Fried uncles and grandpas nodded, and Shen Xiaoyun added : "In terms of this number, there may be more, at least two thousand, and there may be more in the future..."

"There are so many! Then I want it now, or wait a few days?" The bamboo craftsman exclaimed.

"I want it now. I'll weigh the sweet potato leaves that my aunt brought over in a while, and then I'll start packing the packages, and I'll use these bamboo baskets." Shen Xiaoyun didn't want to be in such a hurry, but his conditions were limited, and many of them had to catch up with the class. The completion of the catch point.

"No problem, leave these to us. I'll bring a set of tools at home later, and I'll do it here. With our efficiency, I'm sure we can catch up." Several craftsmen are very confident.

"Then thank you uncles. It may take a day or two for the salary to be given to you."

"It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't matter, your family is busy now, we all know it."

Several bamboo craftsmen went back to bring their tools. They each held two tall and big bamboos. After they put the bamboos in place, they took out their own set of tools and started to split the bamboos.Then chop again, and finally cut into thin and long bamboo strips. I saw that their fingers were nimble. The simple basket is ready.

The speed of the craftsmen was very fast, and in only one or two minutes, a simple, full of holes, fishnet-shaped basket was finished, and the latter was skilled in the work, and the speed seemed to fly. Not only Shen Xiaoyun was surprised, The netizens in the live broadcast room were even more stunned.

"Damn it! Forgive me for not reading enough, and I have little ink in my stomach. I really can't think of words to describe my mood at the moment! Don't tell me, anchor, they are really ordinary farmers!"

"This hand speed is terrible, I have seen afterimages, is it my illusion?"

"Where did the anchor come from? I'm afraid of this technique and the speed. If it weren't for the anchor as a reference, I would have thought the camera was speeding up..."

"The upstairs is so stupid, how can there be a live broadcast to fast-forward."

"Anchor, there are a lot of good people in your village. With this speed and skill, it is definitely not something that ordinary masters can accomplish."

"Anchor, just point your phone at these masters. I can watch them all day long just watching them weave baskets."

"By the way, I suddenly remembered that these baskets are used to hold vegetables. In other words, it means that we bought vegetables from the anchor's house and gave an extra basket, right?"

"Surprises always come too suddenly. I knew the host would not trick us. I like this basket. It can hold fruits and vegetables when I take it home. It's perfect!"

"I love it (°з°)-I don't hate the host for raising the price anymore! I also like this basket. When the package arrives, I will use two ropes to tie it as a baby. It's very fashionable~~"

These bamboo baskets are actually very simple. According to Shen Xiaoyun's request, the bamboo craftsman strives to weave them quickly and solidly. Shen Xiaoyun saw that the daily necessities woven by the bamboo craftsmen in the village are all exquisite and practical. Everything is a work of art, like this A bamboo basket that is simply used to prevent falls is indeed a bit ugly.

Shen Xiaoyun thought that when the farmhouse was finished and tourists came to Yunshui Village, he would publicize the unique handicrafts of some craftsmen in the village.

But right now, the sweet potato tips ordered by netizens are still packaged. With a printer, the courier delivery is very fast after being connected to the Internet, and there is no need to worry about input errors, which really saves a lot of time.

Because they wanted to help Shen Xiaoyun's family build a house, the villagers were sending toon to Shen Xiaoyun, and they all went to help.

It was a temporary idea to sell sweet potato tops, but fortunately, they were available in every vegetable garden, which was convenient for picking, and it didn’t take much time. After a while, every household carried a vegetable basket, and the basket was full of sweet potato tops.

Generally, it weighs about ten catties and eight catties, and the portion is small, so sorting and packing is quick, and all the sweet potato tips here are delivered by women.After delivery, he said that he got the money and went to Shen Xiaoyun's house to help.

Therefore, there were a lot fewer people packing today, and no one was around, Shen Xiaoyun had to work for a while before getting used to it.

All the sweet potato tips were packed and there were only more than 300 packages. After packing, Shen Xiaoyun notified several other villagers who were in charge of express delivery.

"That's the end of today's sweet potato tip sales. There should be more supplies tomorrow. The delivery will be delivered in the order of order. Please be considerate." Shen Xiaoyun said to the netizens in the live broadcast room, after cleaning up the front yard, followed Several aunts came to an open space a hundred meters away from the backyard.

Back then, Shen Xiaoyun asked the feng shui master of the village to look at that land, and after calculating the good day, it was set to start work today.

After leaving the yard, I walked around the gravel road for a few minutes, came near the back mountain, and then walked in along the stepped path, and saw a large open space full of people in full swing.

Most of the villagers held hoes, shovels, and human rammers. A group of several people took off their thick coats and cotton clothes, bare shoulders, and sweated profusely to lay the foundation of the black house.

When laying the foundation here, there are people carrying a load to pick up the excess soil or dump it on the open space of the house to raise the foundation of the house.

Outside, I help to stir the mud that can increase the stickiness. Farther away, I pick up frames of stones one after another.These stones are very large, usually only one basket is used, most of them are white in color and extremely clean. These stones are used to make ceramic tiles or ceramics outside, but they are mainly used to build houses in Yunshui Village.

There are also round, extremely round and beautiful pebbles.

Rows of mud tiles are neatly piled up, and there are carpenters carrying fir trees, peeling and cutting the side branches of the brown bark trees, waiting to be the final beams of the roof.

There was a huge open space covered with weeds and shrubs. It didn't take long before the phenomenon that that piece of land had been reclaimed took shape.Hundreds of people, looked at from a distance, looked like a mass of ants, seemingly messy, but everyone had their own things to do, unrelated to each other, but integrated into each other, like a tangle of ants. invisible bond.

With so much manpower, the foundation of the house was completed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the netizens in the live broadcast room were completely stunned by the scene in front of them.

They really don't know that building a house really requires the whole village to mobilize. Everyone can do it, and everyone can work hard. Every brick and tile of the house has passed through their hands.

This kind of tacit cooperation is like worker bees building a hive, and just looking at it makes people feel very moved.

With such a tacit understanding, and the whole village is dispatched, it is no wonder that the anchor will say that it only takes one day for ordinary people to build a house.

"After reading, let's go back. Everyone in the village came to help today, and our family is responsible for the food of the whole village. The family is probably very busy at the moment, so I should go back and help." Several aunts who followed Shen Xiaoyun Having joined the team building the house a long time ago, Shen Xiaoyun held up the mobile phone in front of the house foundation and looked at it for a long time before turning around and leaving.

Back home, the Shen family members were all at home today, busy making lunch for hundreds of people at noon.

The kitchen used to eat in the past was a new kitchen in the front room. Today, because of the large number of people serving meals, not only the kitchen in the front room, but also the small kitchen of the grandma in the back, and the old stove at the grandma’s side that has been dusted for many years have also been fired. .

"Mom, are you eating steamed buns or steamed buns for lunch today?" Shen Xiaoyun asked curiously when she saw two large iron pans filled with well-fermented and extremely fluffy dough, and Shen's mother and grandma were each kneading a ball of dough.

"Your grandma and I are going to make some steamed buns and sesame seed cakes. Your father and you are too high to make pig's feet and soybean soup in the back room, and your grandma and grandpa are steaming glutinous rice in the back hall. Xiaoxiao, are you busy now? If you are not busy, Wash a bag of shepherd's purse in a while, we'll use it later." Seeing Shen Xiaoyun approaching, Shen's mother pulled Shen Xiaoyun over to act as a coolie without saying a word.

"Oh, I'll go wash it now." Shen Xiaoyun agreed, and turned to get the shepherd's purse. When he saw the sack in the corner of the kitchen, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Opening the mouth of the sack, it was indeed full of shepherd's purse, looking at the full sack of shepherd's purse, Shen Xiaoyun felt a little dark in front of her eyes.

Mom said a bag, and it was indeed a bag, but the size of the bag was a little different from what he imagined.

Watching this scene in the live broadcast room, I was already laughing like crazy!

They were really happy to see such a happy event.

"Anchor, don't be dazed, hurry up and wash it, grandma and the others are still waiting for your mustard green buns."

"Wow! The host just recommended shepherd's purse to us, and now I'm eating it. I'm so happy. It's so exciting that I want to eat mustard green dumplings now!"

"Anchor, hurry up and wash it, don't panic, this is just a bag of mustard greens, don't make a fuss."

Shen Xiaoyun dragged the sack of mustard greens to the pool outside, pressed the well water in the pool, first put the bamboo basket into the pool, and then put the mustard greens in the bamboo basket, scrubbing the mustard greens with a lot of sand back and forth.

In this way, the bamboo baskets are separated to prevent the mustard greens from being broken and scattered when scrubbing, saving time and effort.

Although he is not the best at cooking, as Shen Xiaoyun who is often called upon at home, he is definitely a little expert at housework.

A sack of mustard greens was divided into several batches, and after cleaning them back and forth three times, Shen Xiaoyun randomly picked out a few leaves and broke them apart, only to find that there was no sediment, and then moved them all to the kitchen.

"Xiaoxiao, wring out the water in the shepherd's purse and put it in the pot. I'll fry it dry in a while." Seeing Shen Xiaoyun washing the mustard greens, Shen's mother grabbed the little coolie and commanded her.

"Oh, I see, let's screw it up." Originally, he planned to interact with the netizens in the live broadcast room, but now that he didn't have any spare time, Shen Xiaoyun simply fixed his phone on the well-lit windowsill in the kitchen.

Grandma wiped the iron pot and the stove top clean with her hands and feet, and went to light the fire. Shen Xiaoyun hurriedly brought a basin, grabbed the mustard greens in the basket, grabbed and wrung them vigorously, and wrung out as much water as possible.

All the shepherd's purses were put into the iron pot, and the fire in the stove was lit, and the heat in the pot rose, so Shen Xiaoyun directly turned the mustard greens in the pot with his hands.Just like frying tea, she kept stirring it with her hands until it was no longer wet, then Shen Xiaoyun stopped.

Shen's mother chopped a lot of fresh and tender bamboo shoots, which are white and juicy.There is also smoked meat with more fat meat, minced, chopped into small particles, each grain is shiny with oil, dripping with oil and water, the meat grains are full, firm and delicate, with some finely chopped red cured lean meat, it is very appetizing , Just looking at it is extraordinarily attractive.

Whether it's fried half-dried shepherd's purse, minced bamboo shoots, or bacon, they are all packed in a pot, or the kind that piles up from the top of the mountain. Mix these three things evenly in the pot Mix well, and divide it a few times.

As the most diligent thug in the family, Shen Xiaoyun has always played the role of a coolie in the kitchen. Without the help of grandma and the others, Shen Xiaoyun began to mix these fillings evenly.After mixing well, Shen Xiaoyun poured the cooled lard into the stuffing.These lards are the fat cut from the pigs raised at home during the Chinese New Year, and the fried lard is delicious. Put some salt in the hot lard, and it can be stored for a long time.

These oils have been heated in advance, and the lard is fragrant and hungry, and those who do physical work can save more energy by eating some.

Mix the lard well, sprinkle with salt, put the chopped millet pepper and chili oil in half of the stuffing, and leave half of the stuffing.

All the fillings were well mixed, and there were three big pots full. After Shen Xiaoyun washed his hands, the fermented dough was kneaded. He took the rolled dough from grandma and started to make mustard green buns.

Each bun is filled with two tablespoons of stuffing. It is full and folded. A shepherd's purse bun with thin skin and plenty of stuffing is ready.

Grandma rolled the dough, and Shen Xiaoyun was in charge of making the buns. Both of them had quick hands and feet, and they did things quickly and neatly. The buns fell into the steamer one by one in the blink of an eye.

White steamer cloth and white mustard buns were placed sparsely, and there were nearly fifty buns in one steamer, and there was another basket and another steamer.

When they were making mustard green buns, Shen's mother filled two large iron pots with water and threw firewood into the stove.

When the water in the pot is boiled, put a full basket of steamers on it. The size of the steamer in each pot is half the height of a person. There are eighteen baskets in total in the two pots.Cover the steamer lid and steam for about ten minutes. After opening the lid, you can see that the bamboo steamer is full of fat, white and soft buns. These fluffy and soft buns squeeze the bamboo basket that is even bigger than the pot It was so full that it was almost sent out of the cage.

"Come and taste it, Xiaoxiao, to see if the stuffing inside is cooked through." Shen's mother picked up a big steaming steamed bun with her chopsticks and handed it to Shen Xiaoyun.

Shen Xiaoyun took a bowl and put it away, blew on it, then gritted her teeth and took a bite carefully.

The buns just out of the cage are still very hot, the skin is soft and waxy, and there is a faint smell of wheat, which feels sweet when you bite into it.However, the stuffing in each of these buns looks like it's about to explode, and the skin is so thin, you can eat a mouthful of oily stuffing with a small bite.
