8. Braised eggplant
successfully rescued the beautiful boy that Tang's father particularly valued, Tang Qing finally relaxed his tense nerves and continued to farm happily and cook.
It's a pity that Dad Tang didn't bring many things back from his trip to the county last time, so two or three bags of salt and the bacon he gave to Dr. Zhang before were still stuffed in his pocket and brought back.
"Tang Qing. The young man, whose face was still a little pale, stood in the sunlight and called Tang Qing's name softly.
"Oh, how did you come out, your body is not well, you should lie in bed for a while. Tang Qing was stir-frying in the big iron pot with a spatula in his hand, and turned his head to look at the young man at the kitchen door.
"There's a lot of smoke in the kitchen, you get out of here, don't look back and choke. Tang Qing jumped off the stool he was stepping on and rummaged through the plates on the stone platform on the side.
"Here, here you go. The young man stretched out his arm slightly, and he reached the plate on the cabinet above Tang Qing's head.
"Thank you, I didn't notice it just now, it turned out to be in the cupboard. Tang Qing took the plate and washed it with water.
"I heard that I had a fever that day, and you ran out in the middle of the night to help me find herbs to reduce fever, thank you. Qi Yu looked at the little girl who had just reached her chin and stepped on a stool to stir-fry, which was really a bit coke. Tang Qing's hair is too long and short, Tang's mother didn't care about Tang Qing's feelings at all, and pierced two cupola for her, Tang Qing was disgusted in her heart, so she could only avoid looking in the mirror and pretending not to know her current stupidity.
The young man standing on the side looked at the ignorant little girl on his face who was doing things seriously like an adult and thanked him seriously, his heart felt as if he had been scratched by silk threads, and his hand was almost uncontrollable on Tang Qing's pigtail, but he was afraid that Tang Qing would be angry, so he didn't dare to use force.
"A piece of grass just fell on your head, I'll help you take it off," Qi Yu said to Tang Qing seriously.
Tang Qing didn't take it to heart.
Father Tang, who was happily rushing home, wore a hat crookedly, his black hair was stained with some wheat straw, and his face was turned vermilion by the sun.
From time to time, he greeted the villagers he met on the road.
"Brother Tang, I heard that your family has relatives, and I had a high fever before, this child is really not easy, how is it now" Wang De's family in the village is very easy to inquire, and she can listen to the news of each family with relish.
"Isn't it, sister-in-law of the Wang family, fortunately, this kid has a big life and survived, if something really happens to him, I won't have the face to see my brother in the future." Dad Tang smiled innocently.
"That's right, that's right, Brother Tang, this kid shouldn't be your friend's family in the city, why did he suddenly live in your house for no reason? Isn't life in the city better than in our countryside?" Wang De's aunt gossiped.
Tang's father also wanted to use her mouth to reassure the villagers: "Isn't it, this child went early, and his father has been busy with official business outside, so don't you delay this child, this time the child is sick, and there is no close person at home to take care of it, no, I will take it back." Wait for his dad to finish his business and then let him take him home. Hehe. ”
"You're busy, I'm done with my work in the fields, and I'm going home. Dad Tang quickened his pace.
"Uncle Tang, I'm really troublesome to your family when I'm sick this time, I don't know how to thank you for taking me in, you see, we don't know all our lives, you are so dedicated to me, I really don't know what to say in my heart" Qi Yu stood in the courtyard.
"Child, don't think too much, your father and my Brother Qin are good friends, and Brother Qin and I are good buddies, this relationship is not shallow, you, just stay in peace and take care of your injuries first." Dad Tang put the tools in his hand back into the house.
"Uncle Tang, I know it, I'm just worried about my dad, I just got separated from my dad before I fainted, and now, I don't know where to find him, I can't see him, I can't let go of my heart. Qi Yu's hand couldn't help but touch the windowsill.
"Alas, don't worry, don't you know a character like your father, you must be able to turn evil into good fortune, I will go to the county to listen to the news in the next two days, you can take care of your body with peace of mind, and we will talk about the rest." Father Tang sighed.
"It's time to eat, Dad, Brother Qi Yu, it's time to move the table to eat. Tang Qing walked out of the yard and entered the house again: "Mom, don't sew the quilt first, brother, don't tinker with your broken radio, come and eat." ”
Since Tang Qing took over the family's food plan, he never let Tang's mother stretch out her hand, on the one hand, because she was afraid that Tang's mother would be tired, and on the other hand, it was also to avoid Tang's mother always marveling at the magic of "that place" and the sentence "Girl, do you feel uncomfortable going in and out of that place, once something is wrong, you will come back quickly." Mom would rather not eat it, and she can't live without her mother's baby daughter. ”
Touched is moved, but in order to avoid Tang's mother's worries, she still tries not to let Tang's mother see her use of space.
Today's dinner was vegetarian roasted eggplant and soy sauce soybeans, because there was no way to get meat, Tang Qing tried to cook the ingredients like meat dishes. It is said that eggplants taste like meat, and Tang Qing planted a lot of eggplants in the space.
In order to save oil, Tang Qing cut the eggplant into long strips and soaked them in cold water for twenty minutes. Then pour oil into the pan, then put the drained eggplant into the pot and stir-fry over low heat, and finally add a lid and simmer.
"It's so fragrant, I seem to smell the smell of meat," Brother Tang, another foodie of the Tang family, went online.
"I'm sorry, there are no meat dishes, there are still only vegetarian dishes. Tang Qing ruthlessly hit his foodie brother. At the same time, I also had tears in my heart: when can I eat something good, and then I am vegetarian, I will become a rabbit.
"That sister's cooking is also delicious, and the vegetarian dishes made by my sister are better than the meat dishes made by others. "Brother Tang, a foodie, didn't forget to tout his sister while eating.
However, Tang Qing, who is honest and honest, also enjoys Brother Tang's praise very much.
Looking at the only two dishes on the table, Qi Yu's heart was a little sour somehow, it was probably the first time he saw a family of several people sitting together when he was so big, and there were only two dishes on the table, although the amount of dishes on the plate was not small, it was obviously not enough for the family to sit together and eat.
He hesitantly picked up his chopsticks, almost ashamedly reaching into the plate to pick up the vegetables.
"Eat, Qi Yu, my sister's cooking is delicious, and after eating the dishes she cooked, she ate something else, as if what she had eaten before was not normal food. Brother Tang's chopsticks quickly reached into the plate.
"What do you mean by that, the food cooked by your mother and me is not eaten by normal people, then you have lived in vain for the first 14 years. Although Tang's mother was happy that her son praised her daughter vigorously, she was still a little unhappy to belittle her craftsmanship so much. I was really angry, so I could only greet Brother Tang again.
Seeing the family happily eating with the only two dishes mixed with rice, Qi Yu's heart was also warm: "No matter how big the table at home is, no matter how many dishes there are on the table, there is no one to eat with, no one to smile at himself, and there is no taste." ”
Thinking like this, I put aside my worries and happily ate the food. When the dish reached his mouth, he realized that what Brother Tang said was not so exaggerated.
Although Tang Qing's dishes do not have rich ingredients and do not have complete condiments, her dishes always make people feel comfortable to eat: it seems that such dishes are the most suitable for their hearts.
In fact, on the one hand, it is because Tang Qing's craftsmanship is not bad, and on the other hand, it is due to Tang Qing's ring space. The vegetables in the space are grown by people's wishes, and the taste and nutrition are naturally the most in line with people's needs.
After dinner, Tang Qing and Brother Tang followed Tang's father to practice health boxing in the yard. This set of health boxing is said to have been taught to him by the grandfather who adopted Tang's father. It is most suitable for strengthening the body.
Tang Qing originally thought that boxing was too unsightly, not suitable for a cute soft girl for herself, but Tang's father was not ambiguous at all about forcing her to practice boxing.
So she could only follow Father Tang and Brother Tang every day to stand and tremble, shaking her legs. At the beginning, she couldn't do her movements well, and Dad Tang taught her little by little. Tang Qing is also a person who does not admit defeat, and he followed Tang's father to learn a set of health boxing.
Now she can also follow Dad Tang and play a whole set of punches decently.
The more I practice this set of boxing techniques, the more wonderful I feel, although I am infinitely powerful after not finishing the practice, as long as I have practiced health boxing in one day, Tang Qing can always sleep well at night, and he is full of energy the next day.
"Hey, Uncle Tang, your boxing style looks a little familiar, I seem to have seen someone fight somewhere. After Father Tang set the length of today's boxing practice to Tang Qing and Brother Tang, Qi Yu came up and asked.
Father Tang smiled haha: "Xiao Yu, the boxing techniques in the world are the same, and many of the basic paths are very similar, not surprising, not surprising." ”
Qi Yu, who originally asked casually, quickly put down this confusion, watched Tang Qing and Brother Tang practice boxing vigorously, and excitedly learned boxing with Tang's father.
