small landlord [food]

"Uncle, you have to leave the best to me!" Shen Yuan immediately grabbed Uncle Yang Ming's arm and said seriously.Since the opponent is Zhou Yi, there is nothing to say, we must grab the best ones!

"That's up to you!" Uncle Yang Ming nodded readily.

Satisfied, he came out of Uncle Yang Ming's house with a pile of meat. It was still early, the sun had just risen in the sky, and it was not too hot in the cool morning breeze in early autumn.Shen Yuan went back to his own house first, there was no one in the house, today Er Haozi said that he would bring friends to pull apples, even Mrs. He went straight to Yangtou Mountain, for fear that Shen's mother would come back halfway and catch him sneaking to Uncle Yang Ming's house.

Old man He was quite efficient in his work. As soon as Shen Yuan arrived at the foot of the mountain, he saw a few men in short shirts walking up with stacks of glass, and two vans were parked on the right side of the stone steps.

"Is the money enough?" Shen Yuan walked to old man He and asked.

The old man He who was distributing the glass was stunned, turned back and smiled and said: "These are all bought from the glass factory in the county, one yuan and five each. I took two hundred for now, and there is still more money. By the way, the rockery will be withdrawn later." Now, is the floor paved with cement or slate?"

"Don't spread anything, I'm going to set up some grapes."

The two of them walked up the mountain together while talking. There were already workers repairing the eaves of the gate at the gate. The open space in the courtyard was full of neatly stacked glass, and someone was already squatting and measuring the length with a tape measure, shuttling back and forth. Workers are carrying stones outside.

Although he didn't make a big move, Shen Yuan still squatted in the house obediently to oversee the work. This was what Shen's mother told him, he was careful. Sure enough, during lunch time, Shen's mother came over with Shen Daqing with a food box.

Perhaps it was because of the large number of people going back and forth, and because it was noon, Mother Shen bravely stepped into the house this time.

Women are more careful, taking advantage of the time when everyone stopped their work and went to eat, Shen's mother took Shen Yuan, accompanied by Shen Daqing, to look around the house inside and out.

The colors here are too heavy to be changed, the unlucky ornaments there must be removed, all the furniture, good or bad, must not be kept, and all slopes must be demolished to make stone steps...

The project, which could have been completed in one day, was postponed for another day according to Shen's mother's order.

Shen Yuan was not in a hurry, he took eight lambs from Uncle Yang Ming, two males and six females, and took them home.The corner hut where the family kept chickens before happened to be empty, so they put all the sheep in it, temporarily serving as a sheepfold, and there were a few packs of weeds that had been laid before, so Shen Yuan didn't have to worry too much.

On the contrary, the reclamation on the mountain is a little more troublesome.

Shen Yuan deviated from the stone steps and walked leisurely in the mountains alone. Years of desolation made the mountain completely wild, with weeds and fallen leaves clustered in clusters, and there were many wild flowers and trees. Shen Yuan also found two The wild pomegranates have reached the period of fruiting. Perhaps because of the wildness, the fruits are sparse, small and green, and look malnourished.In addition, near the top of the mountain, there are a few Albizia juliensis and Cypress trees growing.

Shen Yuan strolled all afternoon, and when he sent the workers away and returned home, there were already traces of lights on the horizon.After entering the gate, I turned to the independent hut in the corner and looked at the lambs, lying obediently on the ground one by one, with grass blades hanging from the corners of their mouths, chewing carefully, when I saw Shen Yuan poking his head in, lazily Glancing at him, he didn't even bother to bark.

"Where did you get the leek flowers?"

As soon as Shen Yuan stepped into the living room, Mrs. Shen, who was placing the dishes and chopsticks by the dining table, asked aloud.

Shen Yuan raised a pinch of leek flower in his hand, and raised his eyebrows triumphantly: "On the top of the mountain."

"You just know how to eat!" Shen's mother came out with soup, and happened to hear the two talking, she glanced at the white dotted leek flowers in Shen Yuan's hand, and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"Isn't it rare to eat it?" Shen Yuan curled his lips helplessly, knowing that it was useless to count on his old lady, he walked towards the kitchen with the leek flower by himself.

This is the truth, leeks are harvested when they are tender, and people who grow leeks generally don't wait until they bloom, they cannot be bought in the market, and it just so happens that this is Shen Yuan's favorite pickle.

Pickling leek flowers is actually quite simple, Shen Yuan can do it himself.

Put the leek flowers in a vegetable washing basket, put them in the sink to wash and control the water.

Then he picked out a few pieces of ginger from the vegetable basket on the kitchen corner cabinet, and Shen Yuan took a kitchen knife to peel off the skin a few times, peeled off a handful of garlic, and simply washed it under the faucet.

At this time, the leek flower also cleaned up the water, took out the garlic mortar, threw it in all at once, sprinkled some salt, and poured it out with a few clicks, then threw in the washed garlic and ginger to mash, and poured it all into the porcelain basin inside.Wash a few green peppers, use a knife to level them up, and cut them into oblique thin strips, each root is translucent, and Shen Yuan rubs them into the porcelain basin with satisfaction. .

Sprinkle some salt, and use chopsticks to mix the chives, ginger, garlic, and peppers in the porcelain pot evenly, and the work is basically done. You only need to wait for more than an hour for the smell to soak up, and then you can eat it.

Shen Yuan sighed while holding the porcelain basin that was only one and a half times the size of his palm. There was only a handful of leek flowers out of a large handful, and he could eat it for two days at most if he saved it. God knows how many years he hadn't eaten this. It's hard to catch the opportunity, but you can't eat to your heart's content, can you be happy?

There is only such a small flower in the middle of a large clump of leeks, and it has to be pinched when it is the most tender. When pickling, only such a flower bud is needed, and the number is limited.In these years, he basically only came home during the Chinese New Year, when the leeks were gone, let alone flowers.He has been panicking all these years outside, but there is no sign of leek flowers on the market, alas.

Swallowing his saliva, putting down the porcelain basin, Shen Yuan went straight back upstairs, simply washed and changed his sweaty clothes, and when he went downstairs again, Father Shen and Big Brother Shen hadn't come back yet.The food was still hot just after it came out of the pan, Shen Yuan and the others sat on the sofa and turned on the TV to do homework.

Not long after, Old Man Shen and Shen Daqing entered the door, and Shen Hao also came back, all three of them were happy.
