Happy Farmer's Life

Early the next morning, after taking a shower, Du Weiming decided to reward himself by cooking some delicious dishes.First, I found out the bamboo shoots I dug yesterday, cut two bamboo shoots into strips and scalded them in water, then pulled them out to make cold bamboo shoots.He has thought about the rest of the bamboo shoots, and will keep a few for frying in two days.He boiled the rest in a pot, put salt and a few peppers, packed them in a clay pot, and made bamboo shoots with pickled peppers, which can be eaten after a while.This is a good meal.

For oyster mushrooms, mushrooms, etc., pick out a part, tear it into strips, and prepare to make a wild mushroom soup.The rest were dried outside the house and kept for later eating.Put some black fungus in the soup, and let the rest dry out.

The last one is Du Weiming's favorite olive, about half a catty is left to be eaten raw as a snack.Take out a part of the olives and boil them in boiling water. After the water boils, warm the fire for about 2 minutes, mainly to remove the astringency of the olives.Refill the water, put the sugar and part of the olives in the water and boil for a while, turn off the heat and start the pot, pour it into the jar and let the olives soak.It is estimated that it can be eaten at night or tomorrow at the earliest.Another part of the olives was mixed with a part of salt and ground pepper.This can also be kept for several days.

Du Weiming decided to make some olive dishes with those white olive flower pits and the remaining green olives.If he succeeds, he wants to try to sell it in the town and exchange some money back.The family has no money now, so he managed to find 38 Wen and some food from the pot under the bed. If he had to wait for the rent, he still had at least 3 months left.Then in the recent period of time, I have to find a way to make money.

Drinking mushroom soup, with bamboo shoots and olives, Du Weiming ate the best meal during this time.After eating, he thought about going to the head of the village next door to ask if there were any extra pickles.There is not much oil at home, so he will go to the town to have a look when he asks when the market will be held.

When I came to the head of the village next door, it happened that they were doing almost all the work in the field. Uncle Zhang, auntie and his three children were all there.It is estimated that they are going to rest today.Telling his reason for coming, the village chief nodded and said that there is a market in the town on the first and fifteenth day of every month. If Li Er is interested, he can go with him.Du Weiming asked the aunt if she had any pickles at home, and the aunt generously gave him a jar.Every household in the village has pickled vegetables. Li Er's mother used to make them. After his mother passed away, he refused to go to other people's homes because he was not in good health. To be honest, no one was willing to adopt him.But the people in the village are still quite simple, and sometimes they send him some of their own dishes.

Holding the pickles brought from his aunt, Du Weiming decided to go home and try to see if he could make olive dishes.Wash the olives, soak and rinse with clean water, and filter out the sour water.Take out the pickles in the pot, chop them with a knife, put the olives, pickles and olive flowers into an iron pan, add oil and a proper amount of salt, cook over low heat until they are almost cooked, then put the chopped red peppers and garlic Wait for the auxiliary materials to be added and mix well, then cook for a while and serve.It took almost an afternoon for Du Weiming to finish his first olive dish.

Because it was the first time to make this olive dish, Du Weiming didn't dare to make more. He used about half of the pickles and olives and made almost a can.He tasted it himself and thought it tasted pretty good.He wanted to give a pot to the village head and the others to try, and by the way, he wanted to see if this dish could be sold.

Because olives have the fragrance of olives, and frying olives will also fry the oil, this olive dish is different from ordinary pickles, with a layer of obvious oil floating on top of pickles.As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Daniu next door said something so delicious.

"Auntie, have you had dinner yet?"

"Er Gouzi, you are here. Haven't eaten yet, how about you?"

"Auntie, I haven't eaten yet. I just quarreled for a dish and thought it was quite delicious. I want to bring some here for you to taste."

"What is so fragrant, it looks like pickles, but the pickles have no fragrance, and if they are not made well, they still have a bad smell." She said while taking a bite with chopsticks, "Well, it's really delicious."

"That's fine, ma'am, this dish is for you to eat. I still have some at home. If you like it, I will send some over in two days."

The village chief also tasted some, nodded, and praised Li Er, saying that he is much more capable than before.

"Village chief, do you think I can sell this pickle for money?"

The village head froze for a moment, "Er Gouzi, why did you think of selling this?"

"I don't have much money at home recently. It's still a while to wait for the rent. I just think that if this can be sold, I can sell it for some money. The lard and other things in the house are almost gone."

"Let's think about it. I haven't eaten this thing before. I guess no one would dare to buy it if you sell it yourself. It turns out that Fang Xu from the village was the shopkeeper when he was in the town. Give it to him and ask him to help you. No tavern or restaurant would take it."

"Okay, thank you village chief."

Declining the village chief's kindness to keep him for dinner, Du Weiming decided to make two more cans of olive vegetables while he still had time in the next two days, to see if he could sell them.
