Chapter 536: Xanadu
The slightly lightly brownish coarse grain Qiao wheat noodles were cooked in the water, and then they were fished out with a colander and put into the cold well water, and placed in the big bowl, plus a spoonful of broth, accompanied by five or six fresh wild river shrimps, spread a layer of cut dry cut mutton slices, plus a layer of green onion and white garlic paste, and finally a spoonful of boiled lard was poured so that the breakfast of Canghai's family was served on the table.
Whether it is the color, fragrance, or plating, it all tempts people's appetite, making Qi Yue snort vigorously. It's hard to get such good noodles in the magic capital, and it's an all-natural ingredient. Soon, all that was left of the table was the sound of sucking noodles.
Qi Yue made a sucking sound in his mouth, and said to Canghai: "I said Ergou, what kind of physique are you in your family, how can you eat without getting fat!"
It's such a way to eat every day, in Qi Yue's opinion, the whole family has to be a big fat man, but Canghai's family is now very strong.
"Is there a fat man in our village?" Canghai looked at Qi Yue with a smile.
Qi Yue was stunned for a while, thought for a while and said: "It's really alas, there is really no fat man in your village in the strict sense, you said that from time to time your feng shui here is too good, suitable for weight loss?"
Canghai said: "Who knows this."
Meng Meng raised his head at this time and said to Qi Yue: "Lu Jie was a little fat man when he came!"
"Lu Jie?" Qi Yue was a little puzzled.
Canghai said: "Lu Yanzhi's son."
"Uncle Cang, good morning"
Before Canghai's words fell, he saw Lu Jie, a thief, sticking out half of his head at the door.
As soon as Canghai saw him, he knew that this kid had come to eat mixed rice, so he asked, "Have you eaten?"
"No!" Lu Jie said with a smile.
Canghai then beckoned to him, and the kid quickly jumped to the table, first greeted Shi Wei, Ping'an and others, and then waited for dinner.
Qi Yue looked at Lu Jie and asked, "You used to be a little fat man?"
Lu Jie said a little embarrassed: "I used to be nine hundred and seventy-eight pounds, and now I am eighty pounds."
Hearing Lu Jie say this, Shi Wei understood that Lu Jie was really a little fat man before.
"How?"
"How to reduce, play for ten or so hours a day every day, even if there is fat, it is consumed, these children are splashing in the water for two or three hours a day, what meat can't be tossed?" Shi Wei said with a smile.
Qi Yue thought about it, this is also the reason, such a big child has nothing else to do except play all day long, and it is true that he can't save meat when he climbs up and down.
helped this kid serve a bowl of noodles, because this kid likes to eat mutton very much, so Canghai also put an extra lamb for him.
Waiting for the noodles to arrive, Lu Jie picked up the chopsticks and lowered his head and sucked violently.
Shi Wei smiled next to her and said, "Eat slowly, and no one will rob you."
"What are you going to do after eating?" Wu Hui asked.
Lu Jie raised his head and said, "I'm here to call Meng Meng to go to school, my mother is ready, and she memorized a night's class last night."
As soon as I heard about the class, Mengmeng's whole face collapsed again, and I didn't seem to be interested in such delicious noodles in front of me, so I picked the noodles one by one with chopsticks and put them in my mouth, and sighed while picking, as if a little big had encountered something difficult.
"I didn't ask you to cut off your head when I went to school, why did you sigh," Canghai said to his sister with a smile.
Meng Meng said: "Brother, you don't know, I still have to take care of two birds."
"Okay, what kind of bird do you want to take care of, when you take care of the bird, you have to take care of it in your belly, honestly go to school for me, and take two nephews with you, listen to the teacher, I tell you that there is no such a high-level teacher in the county" Canghai said.
Meng Meng still had a bitter face, and dragged out the last note: "I know!"
After finishing talking about his sister, Canghai asked Qi Yue again: "What are your plans today, if you don't make peace with a few classmates in Henan, they can be regarded as playing the way now."
Qi Yue said: "I'd better forget it with them, it's only less than twenty, there is a generation gap between us, I'll go with you to collect watermelons today."
"Okay, whatever you want" Canghai didn't say much after listening, continued to eat noodles, and took a bite of garlic from time to time.
When I first came back, Canghai didn't eat much garlic, but after coming back for a long time, the taste gradually turned to the taste of my hometown.
Not only Canghai, but also Ping'an, Lin Jinyong, and even Zhonglin and Boqi all eat like this.
"Although this side is good, but the nose is full of garlic smell" Qi Yue waved his hand to drive away the garlic smell that rushed into his nose.
Canghai smiled when he heard this: "Then there is no way, why don't you squat at the base of the wall with a bowl and eat?"
Qi Yue said: "I am a guest! If you want to squat, you will squat."
Shi Wei and the others didn't care anymore, knowing that these two people belonged to the kind of good friends who loved and killed each other, and if they met each other, it would be as if something was missing.
Canghai remembered something at this time, and said to Ping'an: "That's right, Ping'an, don't forget to eat later, remind me to go to my grandmother's house to buy two pieces of tofu, I met Cang Jing in the morning, their family killed the goose today, gave me a bowl of goose blood, and made goose blood tofu at night."
"I want to eat goose too!" As soon as Boqi heard the goose, he immediately came to his senses.
Zhong Lin also raised a small hand on his side: "I want it too."
Shi Wei said: "Didn't you just eat goose two days ago, how much did you two eat?
After being trained by their mother, the two little ones were honest and continued to pick up the noodles in the bowl.
Shi Wei's face quickly turned cold, because Zhong Lin threw a good piece of mutton under the table.
Because the two children will secretly hang white tendons on the lamb in the bowl from time to time, then the slippery head plays the role of a dog-shaped garbage can.
Shi Wei has no opinion on children who don't eat fat or anything, because she thinks that big oil things are not too good for children's growth, but Shi Wei is not happy to throw the best lean mutton to the slippery head to eat.
It's not that Shi Wei doesn't let the slippery head eat meat, but she doesn't want her son to spoil the dog so much. Canghai's dog is not a pet dog, no one will call his son or anything at the slippery head, because the Canghai family does not have this habit, and there is no need to pin their feelings on the dog, their own children can't care about it, what do you care about the dog.
And if you walk around the dog in the village and see someone giving the dog to the dog, saying that it is not you, Grandpa Hu or something, the white eyes will be light, and nine times out of ten you will be cut by the elderly.
Don't mention what dogs are human friends, that is the view of Westerners, we Chinese do not have this tradition, we Chinese and dogs are not good words. And now some people just think that Westerners are advanced and civilized in everything they do, including the attitude towards dogs. So a bunch of people knelt down and licked and came up with some kind of people like dog lovers. The most annoying thing is that these people sanctify the thoughts they kneel and lick. They also say that this is the progress of human beings, and say that they can represent people like that.
"Mom, that piece of meat doesn't look good!" Zhonglin said a little timidly as he looked at his mother's face.
Qi Yue felt very strange when she heard it: "What else is there to look at the mutton?"
Wu Hui explained with a smile: "Bo Qi and Zhong Lin have requirements for meat, the slice cannot be less than half a cigarette box, the thickness cannot exceed the thickness of a dollar coin, the piece is not small and the size of a walnut, and the meat cannot have these white tendons, or blood vessels and the like, and it is even worse if there are white oil lines."
"Yo, you two sound better than your dad can eat, the little mouth is really tricky" Qi Yue happily reached out and touched the head of Bo Qi, who was sitting next to her.
Where does Bo Qi dare to speak now, because the old lady Shi Wei is having a straight face.
"Who is used to it!" Shi Wei said as she looked at the sea with her eyes.
Canghai could only smile bitterly, this pot Canghai must be memorized, otherwise Shi Wei's fire will have no place to start, and the consequences will be more serious, and besides, it is not a big deal for the old man to carry the pot for some time. Besides, these two children are so particular about eating and it really has something to do with Canghai, Shi Wei is not picky, and the whole family used to pick on Canghai.
The two children who were stared at by their mother were much more honest in eating noodles, and they dared to throw anything under the table, and they were a little anxious below, thinking about adding food, and there was nothing to add half, so they kept whining at the two little masters, and from time to time they raised their claws to stun the two little babies.
Canghai was upset when he heard this, and yelled directly at the slippery head: "Get out of the basin and eat!"
When he saw the good guy, the owner was angry, so he honestly returned to his food bowl with his tail between his legs, and lowered his head to eat noodles.
The whole table is Lu Jie's best, not disturbed by the outside world at all, after eating a bowl of noodles, he pushed the bowl away, and patted his little belly with satisfaction.
"Uncle Cang, Aunt Shi Wei, I'm full."
"Are you really full, if you are not full, I will serve you more" Shi Wei put away her stiff face and said kindly.
"I'm really full," Lu Jie patted his little belly.
Waiting for Meng Meng and Zhong Lin to finish eating, the four little guys walked towards the temporary school at the east end of the village.
Canghai and the others finished eating noodles, Shi Wei, Wu Hui, and Qi Yue brushed the dishes and went to the car safely, while Canghai and Lin Jinyong were preparing the tools to be used today.
Qi Yue sat in the back of the cart, his legs hanging in the air, holding a wicker stick in his hand, and looking at the surrounding scenery while shaking it.
At this time, it was different from Qi Yue's last year, originally this road was quite desolate, but now from time to time you can see a green space, on which weeds and wild flowers grow, and sometimes if you are lucky, you can see two or three shrubs, and some shrubs have small fruits of different colors on them.
When the cart entered the valley bottom, many valley bottoms also had small streams, not just two or three small streams from the village to Fenghuanggou as before, but now almost every valley has them.
With water, the vegetation at the bottom of the valley is naturally enriched, such as dandelions, maran leaves, and dogtail grass, which are all very good, and spread from the bottom of the valley to the halfway up the mountainside, and in some places there are even some small bamboo seedlings growing. It looks like it won't be long before a small bamboo forest grows here.
The closer to the Canghai leased land, the more vigorous the grass and trees, when there are still a mile or two away from the Phoenix Ditch, the original loess slope has become a grassland, and from time to time you can see some little rabbits, or weasels or something, jumping around on the grass.
And these little things don't seem to be very afraid of people, it's not when the board car passes by, two or three meters away from them, they don't run, but will look up and stare at the people on the board in a daze.
When he saw the rows of bottle trees, Qi Yue knew that he had arrived at the rented land of Canghai, and now the bottle trees still represented the boundary of Canghai, but the bottle trees that were originally bare on the top of the slope were not as lonely as before, and a green grass began to emanate from his feet.
As if the bottles had been discussed, each piece of grass was circular, about five or six meters in diameter, and it looked particularly interesting.
When the cart enters the Phoenix Gully, it is even more lively, and at any time you can see the unknown birds standing on the branches of the treetops to show their singing voices to everyone, and it is easy to see a small squirrel, which is busy with its work.
"Ergou, you are becoming more and more like a paradise here," Qi Yue praised.
