Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 33 The Leeks Are Ripe

A few days later, the chives were fully ripe. Xia Shiyu stood in his own vegetable garden, gazing at the lush green chives in front of him.

Mature chives stand neatly in rows on the fertile soil, their leaves upright and slender, the light green gradually deepening from the root to the top. A gentle breeze blows, and the leaves sway gently like green waves. Taking a deep breath, one can almost smell the fresh and mature aroma in the air—this is the unique scent of chives.

Xia Shiyu looked at the chives in front of him with great satisfaction and immediately waved his hand, "Mom, we're having chive dumplings today. These fresh chives are perfect for a meal."

"Okay, let's go back and try it today." Yu Juan happily picked half a basket of chives from the field and planned to take them back. It didn't matter if she didn't use them all; she could put them in the refrigerator and make chive dumplings, chive pancakes, or chive blossoms tomorrow.

The two happily took the chives home. Although Xia Shiyu doesn't usually like to eat a lot of chives, she was particularly looking forward to the chives produced by Fairy Tale World.

On their way back, the two ran into Aunt Wang on her way home, so they stopped and greeted her.

"Oh, Sister Ling, you've finished harvesting the rice today."

"Yes, that's all. You just came back from the fields."

“Yes, the chives I grew are ripe and fresh. We were thinking of cooking some when we got back. Sister Ling, you can take some back and try some too.” Yu Juan said, grabbing a handful and putting it into Aunt Wang’s basket.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, these are all things you want to sell for money, it wouldn't be right for me to take them."

Aunt Wang immediately refused when she saw Yu Juan's actions.

“Oh, Sister Ling, we’ve been neighbors for so many years, no need to say anything more. There’s still plenty left in the field, yours won’t make a difference. Take it back and have a taste.”

“Yes, Aunt Wang, you should take it back. Jianzhu is home too.” Xia Shiyu added a few words of advice.

Wang Ling finally accepted it, saying, "Okay, okay, Xiao Yu, come to my house to play more often."

"Okay, goodbye, Aunt Wang."

After saying goodbye to Aunt Wang, Xia Shiyu continued to walk home with his mother.

When the two returned home, Xia Shiyu took out a piece of pork from the refrigerator, washed the chives and chopped them together. She also had to stir-fry the pork and eggs first. After the two were cooked, she put them out, added the chopped chives and mixed them well.

Add MSG, salt, light soy sauce and other seasonings to taste, and then wrap it with the kneaded dough.

After wrapping the dough, put oil in a pan, then put the dough in the pan and fry one side until golden brown, then flip it over to ensure even heating.

The heat needs to be carefully controlled, otherwise it can easily burn.

Fortunately, Yu Juan often does chores at home, so she has a very good grasp of oil temperature and heat. The dough didn't burn, and it was ready to be taken out after it was cooked.

The golden chive boxes are now complete.

Xia Shiyu looked at the chive boxes in front of her, picked up a piece, the outer skin was golden and crispy, the filling underneath was a mixture of meaty aroma and chive fragrance and spiciness, the saltiness was just right, and the chives, which were usually just an added ingredient, finally played their proper role this time.

The chive boxes easily captured people's taste buds. Xia Shiyu took bite after bite, feeling that her lips, teeth and breath were filled with the taste of chives. But this time it was not unpleasant. On the contrary, the unique flavor of chives stimulated people to keep saliva secreting. Only one thought remained in her mind.

"It's so delicious, these chive boxes are so fresh."

Yu Juan also picked up a piece, took a couple of bites, and gave a thumbs up. "Mmm! The filling is really good this time, and the chives are especially fragrant."

The two kept eating this delicious snack, and the aroma of the chives even wafted to other places.

"It smells so good, it smells like chives."

Xiang Jianzhu kept sighing at home, feeling that the smell was so tempting that he wanted to eat it too.

When Aunt Wang got home, she saw her son's worthless appearance and immediately became furious.

"Look at yourself, are you even behaving like a gluttonous dog at the door?"

Xiang Jianzhu felt a little wronged, "But these chives are just too fragrant, Mom, don't you think so?"

He felt wronged, because it smelled really good.

Just as Aunt Wang was about to speak, a tempting aroma suddenly wafted to her nose, causing her to pause for a moment before swallowing.

"Can't you make your own incense? Here are some chives that Aunt Yu Juan from next door gave you. Take them and make your own incense."

Aunt Wang took a bunch of chives out of her basket and handed them to her son.

Xiang Jianzhu took it with a mix of amusement and exasperation. Looking at the green chives in his hand, he had to admit that it was a good dish.

My mom said that the neighbor next door grew these to sell for money. He's really promising at such a young age, already able to start his own business. He's middle-aged now and still poor.

Shaking his head to stop thinking about it, Xiang Jianzhu decided to stir-fry some chive and egg noodles for dinner. It wasn't very convenient to make other kinds of noodles, but cooking noodles was easy.

He cracked the eggs, mixed them with chives, and stir-fried them into a large plate. Smelling the aroma in the air, he swallowed his saliva several times.

After it was ready, the three of them each had a large bowl of stir-fried noodles with chives and eggs. This time, Xiang Jianzhu didn't pay attention to his parents. Instead, he picked up his chopsticks, stirred the noodles a couple of times, and eagerly tasted them.

Chives and eggs mixed with noodles were put into their mouths, and the delicious taste followed. Xiang Jianzhu paused for a moment, then quickly put more into his mouth. Ambassador Wang and his wife next to him did the same.

This bowl of ordinary chive and egg noodles was now spicy, refreshing, and fragrant, making even ordinary noodles taste better. For the first time, the three of them ate their noodles in silence.

In just a few minutes, only three clean bowls and a few people looking at each other were left on the table.

The first to speak was Xiang Jianzhu. After regaining his senses, he excitedly slammed his hand on the table, "These chives are amazing! I've figured out a way to help the shop's business!"

Then he pulled Aunt Wang outside, heading straight for Xia Shiyu's house.

Xia Shiyu and her mother plan to have chive boxes for dinner tonight. They are quite big and filling; two or three will be enough. It's not good to eat too much at night to avoid indigestion, so there's no need to cook anything else.

The two were leisurely eating their chive dumplings when they suddenly heard a sound coming from the doorway.

"Aunt Yu, Shi Yu, are you here?"

Hearing the sound, Xia Shiyu stood up and walked outside. "Coming, coming."

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Aunt Wang and her son Xiang Jianzhu.

"Auntie, Brother Jianzhu, what brings you here? Please come in and sit down."

"Haha, Shi Yu, we've come to talk to you about something..."
