Chapter 301: Fresh Ingredients
Cheng Ran was speechless when asked, but looked at Li Cangtian with a somewhat dull gaze.
Li Cangtian didn't continue to speak, and when he was beside him, he lined up the kid's shoulders and said loudly.
"It's noon, what's the matter, you want our family to eat snow!"
Cheng Ran was stumbled by Li Cangtian, hurriedly stood up, took a deep breath of cigarette, dropped the cigarette butt and found Xiaohua, and asked him to go to the village to see whose house had finished lunch, and asked if the woman of their family could come to Xiaohua's house to cook, and also went to the butcher's house in the village to ask if there was any fresh pork.
Cheng Ran entered the door and began to take out the vegetables and bacon that Xiaohua had prepared earlier.
The bacon is too high in cholesterol, and the salt is also very high, and eating too much is not good for the body, but once in a while, especially the bacon in Qinjia Village, Cheng Ran came back last time Xiaohua cut a big piece, it was super delicious.
Bacon?!
Cheng Ran suddenly remembered the three-G network he said before.
If the three-G network appears when the online shopping can almost be put on the agenda, this bacon in Qinjia Village can definitely be a special specialty, as long as you help give them a recommended position, you will naturally not worry about no sales at that time.
Cheng Ran's mind flashed many plans, but he also knew that these were currently lofts in the sky, and before the advent of the fast network, Cheng Ran's current thoughts were all lofts in the air.
Li Mengmeng and Li Qiuxue walked around the courtyard of Xiaohua's house, and finally saw Cheng Ran picking bacon, and ran over curiously to watch Cheng Ran picking pieces of bacon.
Xiaohua not only cured pork, she also bought chickens, ducks and fish and other cured together, the chickens, ducks and fish in Qinjia Village are all raised at home or the freshest river fish in the river passing through Qinjia Village.
Last time, Xiaohua bought two small crucian carp stews from the villagers, and the taste almost made Cheng Ran eat his tongue.
There is a river at the end of Qinjia Village, and the water in it is deep and shallow, and the deep place can be two or three meters deep, but the shallow water can only reach Xiaohua's waist.
The river fish in this is pure and natural, you only need to remove the fishy smell when you fish it out, add a little salt to the water to boil it milky white, and finally add some green onion tofu and the like to get the purest fish umami.
There are also free-range chickens, ducks, and villagers will also raise some rabbits and pheasants in the mountains by themselves.
These Cheng Ran have tasted it, the meat is firm, the taste is tender and delicious, with the grain wine brewed by local farmers themselves, especially the grain wine that has been put for a few years in the bubble of some fruits or medicinal herbs, with this kind of appetizer, the taste of the wine is soft and soft, the taste of the dish is delicious, Cheng Ran has been drunk more than once willingly.
Li Mengmeng was watching Cheng Ran busy with his hands behind his back, it was not that he had never been to the countryside, but it was the first time he had such a close contact with the countryside, especially the life of the locals, these dishes or something, Li Mengmeng was still in contact with it for the first time.
Cheng Ran was looking for bacon or preserved chicken and fish that looked good and delicious, and at the same time answered Li Mengmeng's strange things.
Take out the meat Cheng Ran and find out the hidden vegetables from the cellar, this cellar is still Cheng Ran dug out for several months, almost a dozen square meters, he also deliberately built a few support columns, and a layer of wooden planks was pasted on the wall to prevent Xiaohua from getting dirty when he went in and out.
Li Mengmeng naturally went in and took a look at it curiously, but her interest in the cellar was obviously not so great, after all, farmers in the West would also have cellars to store food, Li Mengmeng had seen it.
After taking the vegetables, Cheng Ran put everything in the kitchen first, and after washing his hands, he came out of the house with Li Junshou and took out a new big table, which Cheng Ran sold back to Xiaohua before and put it in the living room.
The countryside is good at this point, the land is not valuable, Xiaohua's father renovated all the inside and outside of the house in order to win her mother, especially the several rooms of the crew, at least more than 30 square meters, which are not smaller than the medium-sized living rooms in the city now, and the kitchen Cheng Ran estimated that it is more than 50 square meters.
The storage room next door is also large because it has to hold wood for the winter.
Especially the yard, this yard is at least one hundred and fifteen square meters, and the ground is covered with a neat layer of floor tiles, and because Cheng Ran doesn't want to see chicken feces and duck feces everywhere at home, Xiaohua does not raise chickens and ducks at home.
Putting down the table, Cheng Ran took out a few plastic chairs, and took out a hot water kettle, melon seeds, and the water cup he bought before.
These are brand new cups, carefully cleaned and placed in the cupboard.
Cheng Ran found some tea leaves again and soaked them for everyone.
Seeing that it was half past eleven o'clock, Cheng Ran was worried about whether Xiaohua could find someone to cook.
Xiaohua doesn't know how to cook, she has no parents to take care of her since she was seven years old, she always supports a small bench to cook, Cheng Ran will too, if it were only the two of them today, Cheng Ran would have been chatting with Xiaohua in the kitchen and cooking.
Anyway, it's okay for both of them.
But now that the Li family is here, Cheng Ran naturally can't pay attention to it.
....
Cheng Ran was busy in the kitchen, and the Li family sat at the table outside chatting.
Melon seeds and peanuts are all grown and fried by themselves, although the taste is not as delicious as those top peanuts and melon seeds outside, but the taste is not bad.
"Mengmeng, will you go back tomorrow?"
Li Junshou took a sip of tea and took a look at the scenery here.
As vice president of Kyoto University, he takes time out every year to send students to some of the country's poverty-stricken counties.
He has seen poor counties where the whole village can raise money to raise enough meat and vegetables.
He has also seen young people who have been orphans without parents since they were five or six years old, and who have crawled out of this village by their own perseverance.
Speaking of Qinjiacun Qiong, Li Junshou agreed, but he was not so poor that he couldn't stand it, at least when he came, he smelled the smell of meat from every household.
You know, but there are many people, let alone eating meat in the New Year, and they can't even afford to buy a big bag of salt, which can be bought for a dollar.
There are also wild vegetables that can only be eaten in the field during the New Year, with the nest head given by their neighbors, just such a meal is considered a Chinese New Year's Eve meal.
"Go back? I don't want to go back! I'm going to play here for a few days, and then I'll go back with Cheng Ran. ”
Li Mengmeng diligently peeled melon seeds for her parents, she thought it was very fun here, she had heard from chatting with Cheng Ran before, in winter, people in the village wanted to eat meat and would go up the mountain in groups to catch wild boars, anyway, it was very interesting, She also wanted to play in the mountains.
In addition to this matter, she was also very interested in the black and thin little flower, and Cheng Ran also roughly told Li Mengmeng about the previous things of the little flower.
At the age of seven, he lost his parents, farmed the land and cooked by himself, carried water and washed his clothes, weeded by himself, and harvested the farm by himself.
How did she do it? Can such a small body really carry dozens of pounds of firewood to carry firewood to the house?
Can you really fill the large vat in the kitchen that can bathe two or three people?
Are the grains above the attic really grown by Xiaohua herself?
Or did you grow your own while going to school?
Li Mengmeng suddenly felt that she could rely on her own efforts to be admitted to Kyoto University in her teens, but it was still a little not enough in front of Xiaohua!
