Chapter 685: A Bowl of Soaked Rice [Plus Change]
Ye Xuefu hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I made a noise to you...... I...... I just wanted to help you cover the quilt. ”
"It's okay, you didn't make the noise. Chen Yuyue sat up slowly on the sofa, but suddenly found something flashing on Ye Xuefu's face: "Why are you crying?"
Hearing this, Ye Xuefu hurriedly raised her hand and wiped her cheeks: "No! You must have been dazzled when you just woke up, why should I cry." ”
"But ......" Chen Yuyue really saw it, but seeing that Ye Xuefu vigorously denied it, he didn't say anything more: "It's really sleepy, oops, I really can't sleep on the sofa in the future, I have to hurry back to the house when I'm sleepy, although the sofa is comfortable, I still have some pain in my body after waking up." ”
Ye Xuefu hurriedly nodded: "Then why don't you hurry up and go back to the house to sleep, I'll go back first." ”
Chen Yuyue nodded with a sigh, he didn't say much, because he really didn't know why Ye Xuefu was sad.
Then Chen Yuyue also picked up the quilt and returned to the house, and fell asleep on the bed again.
……
The early morning sun faintly penetrated the curtains, and Lu Xue slowly opened her eyes and realized that today must be a very good sunny day.
Then she smelled the smell of xiaolongbao and the smell of rice!
The smell of this rice is much more fragrant than the taste of the rice that my mother likes to make, and it is simply ...... Lu Xue thought about sitting up quickly, but found that Du Powu was eating xiaolongbao by his mother's bedside, while his mother was smiling and eating with a bowl of rice.
She didn't know that this rice was specially bought by Du Powu, the very expensive one with fish and rice, the mellow soup was boiled with the fish bones and fish tails of the fish, and the chef carefully removed the fish bones to leave only the delicious fish, and the fish and the rice that had absorbed enough soup were eaten together, and the fragrance was fragrant.
And the authentic way of eating in that store is to sprinkle a little pepper, this exclusive little secret can be described as the finishing touch to the rice with fish, which is naturally much better than what their family used to make.
"You're awake. Du Powu said: "Go wash your face and have breakfast quickly." ”
Lu Xue didn't know, because she was too tired yesterday, so she slept until half past eight in the morning.
In the morning, her mother told her not to wake up, and Du Powu heard it outside and walked in.
After Du Powu introduced himself, Lu Mu and Du Powu chatted politely, and after a while, Du Powu was hungry and his stomach growled.
Lu's mother asked him to go out for breakfast, and Du Powu decided to buy breakfast back and asked Lu's mother what she liked to eat.
Lu's mother said that there were shops selling xiaolongbao and soaking rice outside the hospital, and if it was convenient, she would buy a soaking rice for her mother, and then gave the insulated bucket to Du Powu.
After Du Powu went out, he found that the sanitary environment of this breakfast outside the hospital was not very good, so he called Ye Xiaoyao to ask where the breakfast was delicious in Tianhai City.
After all, Ye Xiaoyao is a big foodie.
As soon as Ye Xiaoyao heard that Du Powu had accompanied Lu Xue in the hospital all night, and he was going to buy breakfast for Lu's mother in the morning, he was a little suspicious that this elm pimple was going to open up, so he directly recommended the restaurant with fish and rice.
Du Powu didn't think much about it, he went directly to ask for two servings, and when he checked out, he found that these two servings of rice cost more than 300 yuan, and he was a little dumbfounded at that time.
When he bought it back, Lu's mother wanted to give him money and asked him how much he spent to buy such delicious rice, Du Powu shook his head and said that it was not expensive, of course he couldn't collect money.
Lu Xue also came out to eat rice after washing, and was immediately completely conquered by this delicacy.
Not only Tianhai, almost the entire Jiangnan Province people are very fond of eating soaked rice, there is a book in the Southern Song Dynasty that says: The Chevalier people in the tribute courtyard have their own patrol soldiers, and they sell inkstone water, dim sum, rice, tea and wine, vegetables and meat.
At that time, soaking rice was a necessity in the area, along with tea, wine, vegetables and meat.
A bowl of rice has been in the south of the Yangtze River for thousands of years, so there are still several cities in Jiangnan Province that have retained the tradition of eating rice.
For example, people in Suzhou and Hangzhou must have boiled rice and boiled it until the soup is hot, but the rice must be grain by grain, and it must look refreshing and shiny. When the pot is raised, sprinkle a pinch of fine salt, add half a spoon of lard, and bring out a bowl full of oily and fragrant!
And the most saying about soaking rice is Tianhai.
Because soaking rice is a portrayal of the life of Tianhai Hansu, and it is the mark of the difficult times at the beginning.
In the old society, soaking rice was the standard breakfast of Tianhai people, recording the poverty and simplicity of the old society.
Teacher Liang Shiqiu has an article written about having dinner at a friend's house in Tianhai, and there is a sentence in it that "a fritter is cut into more than a dozen sections, and a preserved egg rolls around in a soy sauce dish, and no one is embarrassed to open it", the poverty of ordinary people in Tianhai was vividly reflected by this sentence.
Today's soaking rice looks fresh, the accessories are piled up, and the oily noodles are like the bowl of vegetarian breakfast in the old society.
But that bowl of plain is the taste that grew up with Lu Xue.
How many mornings, my mother would take out the overnight cold rice, soak it in boiling water, and then pour some mustard into it, and then it became the happiest taste of her morning.
When Lu Xue was eating rice, she suddenly couldn't help but burst into tears.
Her brother has always disliked eating soaking rice, and he thinks that eating soaking rice is shabby, and he even said that he feels nauseous every time he smells it.
In the past, Lu Xue always thought that her brother was really talking nonsense, but when she ate such a bowl of rice, she finally understood that the rice made by her mother was indeed a very "shabby" breakfast.
But that didn't stop her love for the breakfast her mother made.
The three sisters in the late-night cafeteria liked to eat soaked rice, a portion of dried plums, a handful of white sesame seeds, a little seaweed and a small pot of sencha, which was a bowl of plum chazuke that they never got tired of eating.
Eating cold rice directly overnight will hurt your stomach.
Every time my mother made breakfast, she would tell Lu Xue like this: Although we are poor, we can't eat cold rice balls.
When his brother lost his temper and didn't eat, his mother would tell him that in the era of the planned economy, it was worth showing off a little to eat boiled rice, and in that era, each person only had a ration of eight catties of rice per month, and the rest of the ration could only buy indica rice.
After a while, Lu Xue ate all the rice in the bowl.
"Have you eaten enough? If you haven't eaten enough, I'll buy you another one." "Du Po Martial Dao.
Lu Xue hurriedly nodded: "I'm full." ”
"Xiao Du really knows how to buy things, where did you buy such delicious rice? You tell Auntie, Auntie will go and see how people make it, and I will have time to make it for you to eat in the future!" Lu Mu smiled and said, "If we can't make it, we will buy and eat it, it's really delicious." ”
As soon as Lu Xue ate it, she knew that this soaked rice was definitely not an ordinary soaked rice, and it was definitely not cheap.
"Brother Po Wu, how much is this breakfast?" Lu Xue said and took out his wallet.
"How much can a breakfast have, count me in. Du Powu waved his hand.
How could Lu Xue believe it: "Then you can also tell me how much this rice is." ”
"This rice...... Ten pieces!" Du Powu said casually.
"Ten dollars, and fish, that's really affordable. Lu Mu was surprised.
Lu Xue shook her head: "Mom, you also believe this, this kind of rice must be very expensive!"
Du Powu looked at the time and quickly changed the topic: "You guys hurry up and prepare, isn't there going to be surgery in a while, Lu Xue, quickly pack up, I'll go to Doctor Xu Yi first, my brother called me just now and said that there is something for me to find Doctor Xu Yi." ”
Lu Xue wanted to say something, but Du Powu left in a hurry.
