Chapter 349: Wormwood Foot Soak
As soon as Su Mu finished her meal, she put down her bowls and chopsticks and went out to look for mugwort. Although she usually thought it was blocking the road, no one touched it. If she really needed it, she would go to the roadside and pick up a few handfuls.
The water in the pot was not very hot, so she added a few firewood to it, and then she had time to look at their backpacks.
"What are you carrying on your back? Why are you looking at the black cloth?"
Mother Su didn't move, she just squatted beside the basket and watched.
Su Ziling was already full, burped, and slumped on the chair not wanting to move.
"The black ones are wild grapes. Mom, try it. It's quite delicious. I also picked some wild kiwi fruits at the bottom."
After saying that, she stopped sitting. She stood up and brought two dustpans over, "Take them out, they will get damaged if you put them in the basket."
"Hmm~" Su's mother ate one, and her eyes lit up. She took two skewers for everyone, "Dad, mother, siblings and Axiu, you all have a try. It's sour and sweet, and it's delicious. Leah!"
After saying that, he looked at Su Zizhong aside, "Zizhong, and Sanlang. If you want to eat, come and get it."
The third aunt got up to clear the stove and wash the dishes, while Axiu came over to carry the basket and watch over the food, eating one bite at a time until her eyes narrowed.
"Sister, this is delicious! It's sour and sweet." She took a big one and fed it to Su Ziling's mouth.
Su Ziling tilted her head, "Axiu, you eat. Sister has eaten much better today and her teeth are a bit crispy now. So are you. Don't eat too much in one day, or you won't be able to eat."
"Well, I won't eat until I have two more." She nodded obediently, followed Su Ziling's example, and took out the grapes one by one and placed them on the dustpan.
"You can't finish it all after picking so much?" Mother Su took it out while eating.
This person is like this. He wants to eat when he doesn’t have enough, but he feels sad when he has too much.
"It's okay. I'll send some kiwis and grapes to my third uncle and his family tomorrow, Aunt Liu's family, and Yunhe's family. The rest will be brewed for my grandpa to make some wine and ferment for a few months to celebrate the New Year." Drink.”
Su Ziling is not worried, she still thinks it is too little.
"You can also make wine?" Mother Su's eyes were full of surprise.
Su Ziling said without changing her expression: "No, I just heard Chen San and others say a few words that the fruit wine in other countries is very delicious. I thought I could give it a try. If it works, it would be the best. If it doesn't work, it's okay. .”
After taking half of the basket, the dustpan couldn't fit anymore, so Mother Su went to get another one.
Just the grapes were put in three dustpans, and the kiwis were also taken out. The ripe ones were taken out, and the unripe ones were put in the basket and covered with corn husks. They were left for a few days before eating.
Seeing the dark grapes, Su A'nai suddenly stood up and said, "The last time you asked me to dry the lilacs, they were already ripe. I put them away and forgot about them. I was really dissatisfied. If I hadn't seen these grapes, I still can’t remember it for a while.”
It had been dried two days ago. Su A'nai put it in a bag, thinking that she would give it to Su Ziling when she came back, but she forgot about it.
She took the bag out from the top of the cupboard, "When I got it back, it looked like there were quite a lot of them, and they have shrunk in the sun. Let's take a look. Is it okay if it's like this?"
Su Ziling grabbed a few, and they were well-done and completely black in color. They were soft when she pinched them. After breaking them open, the pulp inside was lightly sanded, giving it a hint of golden color.
She tasted one and said, "It's so sweet, Grandma, you're so awesome, the sun is just right, you all have a try, it's so sweet."
After hearing her words, everyone grabbed two to try. After all, they had just finished eating and couldn't eat much now.
"Well, it's indeed sweet, but there are a little too many cores. It's usually a snack, but it's good to eat if you're craving for it. I've seen this thing elsewhere. I'll take you to pick it next year." Father Su Study as you eat.
He never expected that this little thing, which looked quite unique and was soft when pinched, would actually have so many cores in its belly.
Su Ziling gave Su's mother, Axiu, two pills each, "Put the rest on the table, whoever wants to eat can take it." Afraid that they would be reluctant to eat, Su Ziling added, "This thing won't last long. , It’s better to eat it early, but it will get bad if you keep it for a long time.”
After hearing what she said, I didn't dare to think about saving some food. It would be better to eat it if it went bad.
After taking out all the fruits, Su's mother couldn't carry them alone, so she and Su Ziling took the dustpan to the side and placed it out of the way of others.
"The water should be almost there. Qing'er, you and Sanlang go out and soak your feet."
It's September now, and everyone in the family is used to using cold water to wash their feet, so the water in the pot is used not only for washing dishes, but also for soaking their feet. "Hey, I got it, grandma, you guys go to bed quickly. Sanlang and I will go to bed after soaking our feet."
"Okay, if you can't see, just light the oil lamp. It's been a tiring day. After washing, go to bed quickly. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Looking at the two bundles of kohlrabi outside, Su's mother was afraid that she would wash them before going to bed if she didn't tell her a few words.
Su Ziling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If she wasn't tired normally, she might actually wash herself before going to bed, but today it was impossible. She was so tired that she couldn't even lift her hands. How could she have the time to wash the kohlrabi?
There are two footbaths at home, one is old and the other has just been made. Put salt and wormwood in the basin, then pour a bucket of hot water, and the wormwood changes color instantly.
When they felt the temperature was about the same, the two began to soak their feet. Needless to say, the pain in their feet instantly eased a lot.
That night, the two of them slept particularly deeply. When they woke up in the morning, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Mr. Su and the others also went to the ground, and Su A'nai was the only one at home.
She opened the door and saw Su A Nai drying peppers, strawberries and star anise. She rubbed her eyes and called her, "A Nai."
"Are you up? Wash your face quickly. Your grandpa and the others have been in the field for a while."
Su Ziling waved her hands and frowned tightly. Yesterday she felt tired and her body was heavy. Now after sleeping, she felt pain everywhere.
My whole body felt sore and refreshing, as if I had jumped three thousand meters. My limbs were as if they had just been put on. Even if they were not flexible, they were still throbbing in pain, no matter the time or place.
"Then I'll go cook. I won't go to the mountains today. I'll pick the peppercorns. The peppercorns are also red." She yawned and walked to the well to wash up.
Li Zelan got up when he heard the sound. He opened the door and saw that the sun was shining into the yard. He scratched his head with a slight blush on his face.
"My cousin didn't know how to call me when he got up. He slept until this point..."
Su A'nai smiled and said, "If you haven't slept enough, go back and sleep for a while. Anyway, I won't be busy these days."
"Enough sleep, enough sleep." Li Zelan ran over to help Su Ah Nai dry the sweet potato vines.
Fortunately, there are many drying pads at home, otherwise there is really no place to dry them. There are sweet potato vines drying on the drying racks on the roadside, and star anise, strawberries and peppers in the yard.
The same goes for the sweet potato vines, which are drying and cropping again and again, and the sun mat cannot be idle at all.
