Chapter 175 Is wanting to eat vegetables considered vulgar?
Feeling it was a waste to simply throw away the daily water, Yang Fenglan began to call on Xu Yingying and Lin Cuiniang to turn over the soil and plant vegetables.
Although the weather is still dry and there is no rain, the small vegetable patch, with the water used for so many people's daily life, should be able to grow if irrigated.
Before, at home, the backyard was watered every day, and the cabbages eventually grew to maturity. Yang Fenglan dried them and brought them upstairs.
The children were responsible for clearing away the stones, the men were responsible for clearing the land and digging, and the women were responsible for clearing weeds, watering, and planting seeds.
To save firewood, everyone ate together.
Growing vegetables is naturally included as well.
There aren't many people, and there aren't many complicated things to deal with.
We didn't bring many vegetable seeds, but the variety was impressive.
Soybeans, eggplants, pumpkins, scallions, ginger, and garlic were all planted.
Planting at this time of year is too late, and people are not optimistic about it.
Ten days later, the seed stubbornly sprouted.
Yang Fenglan looked at the tender shoots with delight; whether she could eat fresh vegetables depended on these.
I've been busy these past few days, and I've been eating mostly flatbread, steamed buns, pickled vegetables, and dried vegetables.
"Fenglan, I can't poop. I want to eat some green vegetables," Xu Yingying said to Yang Fenglan as she came out of the outhouse.
Yang Fenglan glanced at her silently, "You are really too vulgar."
"Wanting to eat vegetables is considered uncouth?" Xu Yingying pouted. "My mother's cooking is terrible. I want to eat yours."
"Okay, I'll make it for you today." Yang Fenglan poured the water she used to wash her hands onto the vegetable garden.
Xu Yingying diligently helped her carry the basin.
The weather was dry and hot, and the wind was strong. Yang Fenglan had a nosebleed while washing her face in the morning, so she soaked two large bowls of mung beans.
Upon entering the kitchen, I started a fire on the small stove, filled a clay pot with water, added mung beans, brought it to a boil over high heat, and then turned it down to a simmer after five minutes.
After the mung beans have split open, remove the mung bean skins, add a few pieces of precious rock sugar, stir with a spoon, and cook for a while longer until the rock sugar dissolves. The mung bean soup is then ready.
Xu Yingying couldn't wait to have a bowl, but she was scalded and cried out loudly.
Yang Fenglan carried the pottery jar to the vent, and the strong wind cooled it down quickly.
She served Xu Yingying another bowl, saying, "You can drink it now."
She had a bowl for herself too.
The subtle fragrance of rock sugar and mung beans easily suppresses the body's internal heat.
Yang Fenglan placed several bowls of mung bean soup on the stove and called out towards the vegetable garden, "Chunsheng, Xiaoning, Xiaoan, come and drink some mung bean soup!"
Three children were chasing birds away from the vegetable garden to prevent them from eating the vegetable sprouts.
Now that it hears there's food, it forgets about birds and immediately runs back.
Xu Chunsheng was the first to pick up the mung bean soup from the stove and drink it in big gulps.
Xiao An followed closely behind.
"Ningning, you drink too." Yang Fenglan handed Xiao Ning's share to her.
Xiao Ning frowned. "I want to leave it for my father. He must be thirsty after going hunting with Brother Jingyi."
Xiao An and Xiao Ning are twins, with Xiao An being the older brother and Xiao Ning the younger sister.
After finishing his drink, the older brother put down his bowl and ran out with Xu Chunsheng.
The little girl was worried that her father might be thirsty.
Yang Fenglan pinched her smooth cheek. "If your father knew how much you miss him, he would be very happy."
“Because Father is very good to us.” Xiao Ning grinned.
"Auntie cooked extra, so everyone gets a portion. This is yours, so drink it quickly. Your dad's is in the pot."
Hearing Yang Fenglan say this, Xiao Ning picked up the bowl and slowly began to drink.
After finishing his drink, he handed the bowl to Yang Fenglan, saying, "Thank you, Auntie, this mung bean soup is so delicious."
"Another bowl?"
"No, I'm going to chase the birds away." Xiao Ning laughed and ran off.
Hearing the child's cheerful laughter, Yang Fenglan couldn't help but complain to Xu Yingying, "Sigh, why can't my adopted child be this cute little guy?"
“Why can’t it be?” Xu Yingying raised her eyebrows.
Yang Fenglan: ?
Don't think I don't know what you're up to.
