Chapter 205 Pig liver bites the tongue
Xu Yongwang reluctantly took off the backpack on his back and went to the main room with the medicine bowl.
Song Yuntang looked at the backpack at the door with a smile.
"Mom, what did Dad do this afternoon?"
Jiang moved the backpack to the door. "Your father heard that the persimmons in the mountains were ripe, and he couldn't sit still, so he insisted on picking some for you to taste. I saw that he was in good spirits today, so I didn't stop him and let him go."
Song Yuntang hasn't eaten fruit for a long time since he came here.
When he heard it was persimmons, he wiped his hands and went to the door excitedly.
"Let me try it to see if it tastes good."
There was not only half a basket of persimmons in the backpack, but also two pomegranates.
Although it is not big, it looks ripe.
She picked a softer persimmon from the basket, peeled it and took a bite. The persimmon was soft and sticky, and the juice was sweeter than honey. The ripe persimmon did not have that astringent taste and tasted very good.
Jiang washed the wild vegetables that Xu Wencheng had dug up from the mountains in the morning, looked at Song Yuntang and asked with a smile.
"How does it taste? Your father said he tasted delicious food at Aunt Su's house next door, so he went to the mountains to pick it. I don't know if it's really delicious."
Song Yuntang nodded.
“It’s really delicious.”
She finished eating the persimmons in her hand, picked a few soft ones, and gave one to each family member, except Xu Yongwang.
Xu Yongwang looked at the bowl of black medicine in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
"Alas, I can't even eat a single persimmon I picked myself, so Dad has to suffer all the hardship."
Xu Qingye and Xu Wencheng were no longer surprised.
Just smiled and said nothing.
Jiang was afraid that Song Yuntang would think too much, so she glanced at him and said, "Even taking medicine can't stop your mouth. If it's edible, how can your daughter-in-law not give it to you?"
Xu Yongwang touched his nose guiltily.
He actually didn't have any other thoughts, but his daughter-in-law distributed persimmons to the whole family, except for him, and he felt very jealous.
Song Yuntang looked at him with a smile.
"Dad, it's not that I won't give it to you, but you can't eat persimmons when taking medicine."
Xu Yongwang was skeptical.
"Is there such a thing?"
Song Yuntang hummed, "Persimmons are a cold food, especially when taken with tonic medicines. They can easily affect the efficacy of the medicine. Even if you want to eat them, you can't eat them now. Not only that, you should eat less on an empty stomach. But it's still early, and there's still some time before dinner. If your spleen and stomach are not particularly weak, eating one or two won't be a problem."
Jiang said while eating the persimmon in her hand, "Did you hear me? I said Tang'er must have a reason for not giving it to you."
After hearing this, Xu Yongwang didn't say anything else. Instead, he felt happy in his heart because his daughter-in-law was thinking about him.
I figured the medicine should be almost cold, so I picked up the bowl and drank it all.
"There are so many dishes tonight, why don't we invite our parents to come home for dinner?" He looked at Jiang and asked in a negotiating tone.
Jiang glanced in Song Yuntang's direction and saw that she had no intention of objecting. "Okay, then go to the old house and call my parents over. The old people are impatient. If you go too late, they will have already cooked the meal."
"to make."
Xu Yongwang took the bowl out of the house, scooped water from the water tank to rinse the bowl, and then went out towards the old house.
Song Yuntang thought the persimmons tasted good. After eating two in a row, he went to the kitchen to find a clay pot, cleaned it, put pig's stomach, ginger, green onion segments and red dates in it, added water and stewed it.
Jiang was also busy. She started washing rice and cooking, and also steamed a bowl of egg custard.
Mrs. Hu was in poor health and her teeth were not in good condition. Egg custard was the most suitable food for her as it did not strain her teeth.
Soon, not only Hu and Xu Yuande came, but also Huer, the little grandson of the aunt's family, was brought by Xu Yongwang.
As soon as Hu'er arrived, the yard suddenly became lively.
"Aunt, cousin, little cousin, aunt, I'm here."
When Xu Wencheng saw his nephew coming, he quickly put down the work in his hands and put all the things away in the house where the child could not reach them to avoid knocking them over and wasting them.
Mrs. Hu smiled as she watched Tiger running around the yard, feeling very excited.
"One monkey is already so lively. When Qingye and Tang girl have another one next year, the house will be even more lively."
Thinking of her son's health, Jiang felt a little worried. She didn't know why he didn't ask Song Yuntang to take a look at him. The hot water left on the stove for two days was not used.
"There's no need to rush this matter. The couple needs to discuss it between themselves."
Mrs. Hu thought that Mrs. Jiang didn't want to put pressure on Song Yuntang, so she replied, "That's right. When the child comes, it's all fate. When fate is right, it will come naturally."
Song Yuntang, who was busy in the kitchen, didn't dare to say a word.
Xu Qingye, who was cooking for her, was also silent the whole time. He occasionally glanced in Song Yuntang's direction with the corner of his eyes. Seeing that she looked unnatural, he comforted her calmly.
"The elders are all like this. They urge you to get married before you get married, and urge you to have children after you get married. Just listen to grandma's words and don't take them to heart."
Song Yuntang hummed.
As for the matter of having a child, she really doesn't want to do it so early. After all, she has to wait until she is eighteen years old. When her body is fully developed, the risks of having a child will be relatively smaller.
This was something she had never experienced in her previous life, and having seen many cases of women going through difficult childbirth situations in the hospital, she was quite scared.
After all, ancient medical skills were not as advanced as modern ones.
……
Dinner consisted of pork tripe soup, egg custard, wild vegetables, and a plate of fresh and tender fried pork liver with chili peppers. The chili peppers in early autumn are spicy by nature, and the Xu family, who were eating chili peppers for the first time, couldn't stop eating while the spicy food sizzled.
Two or three slices of pork liver can go well with a bowl of rice.
Seeing that everyone was enjoying the food, Hu'er, driven by curiosity, also picked up a small piece of pig liver and put it in his mouth. Then he cried and yelled, "The pig liver from my uncle's and aunt's house will bite my tongue. Hu'er's tongue is going to be bitten to pieces, wuwaaa..."
Seeing the child crying loudly, everyone was frightened. Jiang hurriedly poured him some water to drink, and Song Yuntang also added some sugar to the water.
After drinking a large cup of sugar water, Huer stopped crying. Tears were still hanging on his eyelashes, and his eyes were looking at the empty cup with unsatisfied eyes.
I licked my lips, the sugar water was so sweet!
Seeing that he was fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and continued eating.
"Come, Hu'er, have some egg custard. It won't bite your tongue." Xu Wencheng said with a smile as he scooped two spoonfuls of egg custard into Hu'er's bowl.
Jiang glanced at him.
"Children are ignorant, and you are talking nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense." Xu Wencheng looked at Hu'er with a smile, "Hu'er, don't you think so?"
The five-year-old nodded seriously.
"Tiger likes to eat egg custard, and egg custard doesn't bite your tongue."
Everyone at the table burst into laughter.
……
Having not eaten chili peppers for a long time, Song Yuntang ate half a bowl more.
After dinner, Xu Yuande and the old couple Hu took Huer home.
Song Yuntang had already eaten two persimmons before dinner, and ate two more bites than usual for dinner. Now he felt a little bloated, so he went out for a walk in the village.
Lushan Village is surrounded by mountains. There are not as many people in the village as in Rongshu Village, and the mountains are not as bare as those in Rongshu Village.
It’s almost September.
The maple leaves on the mountain have turned from green to red.
Climbing up a hillside and looking around, you can see a large area of green dotted with red maples, which looks very beautiful under the sunset.
