Chapter 130: Picnic
When he came to the abandoned house foundation, Li Junge first went to the stream to fetch the stream water to soak the rice, and then said to a few people: "In this way, let's divide the work, Brother Li, you go and pick the leaves of good ginger, do you know the leaves of good ginger? The kind of plant with big leaves by the stream, used to wrap zongzi and yellow cake, try to pick as much as possible." Pig worms, you go to clean up these turtle doves, it's just a little less, so let's add a dish, Ba Po and I go to fetch firewood, chop bamboo, and make bamboo tube mushroom rice at noon today. ”
Behind the two dying old lychee trees is a bamboo forest, Li Junge took off his back, cut off two relatively thick young bamboos, removed the bamboo branches, took out a handsaw from his backpack and handed it to Wang Congjun, and asked him to drag it to the abandoned house foundation to change the bamboo tube.
Generally, the back of the house is Chai Mountain, no one has come for so many years, there are a lot of dead branches and old trees on the back mountain, Li Junge beat two bundles of firewood, cut out a bamboo with two pointed ends to make a flat burden, one shoulder and one burden, and move the firewood down the mountain.
The body that is often moistened by the spiritual spring, it is not a matter to carry this more than 100 catties.
Six stone ponds were built on the open field, and Li Junge began to burn firewood into charcoal.
Wang Congjun has already changed out more than 20 bamboo tubes, and he is digging bamboo joints with cuttings there. Li Shuping is also skillful, and the ginger leaves he picked are folded into small boxes for him, and the borders are fixed with bamboo sticks.
Zhu Chao'an came over with a bunch of cleaned turtledoves and said, "Yo, Brother Li, you are really meticulous, I have eaten many times with Piwa in the mountains, and I have never seen him make a lunch box." ”
After speaking, he said to Li Junge: "Erpi, look what this is, I found it when I was washing turtledoves by the water, and there are a lot of them over there, which look like celery." ”
Li Junge was taken aback, and was so frightened that he threw the firewood and rushed over to inspect it, while complaining: "Pigs and insects, you don't mess around, there are many kinds of plants like celery, if you pick poison hemlock, it will be troublesome, legend has it that Socrates poisoned poison hemlock juice!"
After inspecting the picked plants, he broke off and sniffed them, and said: "Fortunately, this is indeed water celery, you can add a dish to everyone at noon, if they can pick fungus, this fungus mixed with water cress tastes a must." ”
Then he gave a few people popular science: "The easiest way to distinguish wild celery hemlock is to break it and smell the smell, poison hemlock has a smell, cress is a fragrance, and the pole of the cress is smooth, the pole of the poison hemlock is hairy, and the hand is hung by touch, and the poison hemlock blooms yellow flowers, and the hemlock blooms white flowers, the poison hemlock is a palmate split, and the leaves of the cress are pinnate split." ”
"If you can't tell the difference between plants in the wild, it's best not to try them lightly. This sumac bud is used as toon bud, poison hemlock is used as cress, and old wood fungus is used as Ganoderma lucidum, and there are not a few people who are poisoned by eating. ”
Hearing this, several people nodded again and again, Li Junge sent Zhu Chaoan to search for cress, put the turtledove in the ginger box, and began to split bamboo sticks, Wang Congjun and Li Shuping began to wear skewers.
When everything was almost ready, Li Junge blew the eagle whistle.
After a while, the people of each group came out of the wild forest under the leadership of Bai Da and Da Du, and they were elated one by one.
Yu Xiaorong triumphantly ran over with a small umbrella-like mushroom: "Two skins and two skins, look at me picking up such a big one!"
Li Junge was taken aback when he saw it: "How is it possible! You are a chicken fir! How can it be so big!"
Li Yuning said: "Uncle Erpi, we dug more than 60 centimeters and got out, and it didn't hurt the termite nest, otherwise it would be bigger." ”
Li Junge said: "It's amazing, this has to be two catties, right? I have never seen such a big one!"
Wang Jixing rolled his eyes and said, "It's less than Kese!" I won't let go of it, let her let me go and don't do anything in the basket." ”
Yan Fang said with regret: "There are too many mushrooms in this forest, we found a tree fungus in the middle of the forest, and the dog pulled my trouser leg to let it out before I finished picking it." ”
Li Junge said: "I really picked the fungus? The pig worm found the cress, and the cress mixed with the fungus at noon today is considered a hurdle!"
Wang Wenqiang said: "Master, our two groups are the most, and the back baskets are full. ”
Let everyone pour the three-back basket of mushrooms into the open space, Li Junge said: "Come on, come on, each person will get a bamboo skewer and a handful of wolfberry leaves, and go clean up some mushrooms, mainly chicken fir, Santang mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, porcini mushrooms, green oil wax mushrooms, red mushrooms, etc., and make less for bacon rice. Save it for the evening to go down the mountain to roast meat. ”
Li Xingyu Zhong Lu still clapped his hands and said, "Uncle Li can really see the elves? ”
Wang Congjun laughed: "Uncle Li lied to you, it's bad to see the elf, it's poisoning from eating mushrooms!"
The girls began to barbecue, and the men and the babies minced the chicken fir that everyone had washed, porcini mushrooms, hand green, and some miscellaneous mushrooms, mixed them with soaked rice and diced bacon, and began to pour them into the bamboo tube.
Fill about two-thirds of it, then fill the bamboo tube with water, stuff lemongrass, smear the outside with thin mud, lean on a large tree stump lying down, a group of four sections a total of five groups, burn firewood under each group, and take care of a group by Li Yuning, Li Yusong, Li Yuduo, Wang Congjun, and Liu Chengxian respectively.
Finally vacated the pot, Li Junge boiled water again, and mixed salt, minced ginger and garlic, and sesame oil after passing the cress and fungus through the water respectively.
Using the lid of the pot as a container to fill the cress and mix the fungus, Li Junge said to everyone: "You eat the skewers first, I'll go find the surrounding area and make a pot of herbal tea to drink." ”
Yan Fang said: "There are so many children, or we can drink boiled water, it's okay." ”
Li Junge said: "I'm looking for a white tea tree, that thing is a eucalyptus plant, and it has nothing to do with tea, but it is excellent to quench your thirst." Our little ones love to drink it. Generally, a few trees will be planted behind the foundation of the old house. ”
When I came to the back mountain, I walked around, and sure enough, there were several white tea trees, and the oldest one was as thick as one person hugging him.
This is amazing, the white tea tree grows slowly, which is estimated to take hundreds of years to grow.
There was no one left and right, and there was a faint heat from the Taiji Stone, and Li Junge directly put the big white tea tree into the space.
Cut off a branch from a small white tea tree next to it and bring it back to the clearing.
A group of people had already eaten and drank, and the babies each held a few skewers in their hands, and their mouths were full of oil.
Seeing Li Junge scraping off the bark, cutting the branches into wood chips and throwing them into the pot to cook, Hu Xiaoyong asked curiously: "Uncle Li, what are you cooking wood for?
Li Junge laughed: "You can't bite this wood, but after boiling for a while, this pot of water will turn into tea, and it will taste good after cooling." ”
After speaking, Li Junge went to the barbecue, and the gods couldn't stand the aroma of this roast chicken offal.
Ye Xiaoqin put her hair on her head, handed Li Junge a string of roasted pork belly and a string of lotus root slices, and said, "Erpi, hurry up and eat something, you have been busy all morning." ”
Li Junge saw that Qi Feifei was using chicken fir as a brush to oil the lotus root slices, and said, "Haha, Feifei, your brush is extravagant enough." ”
took a bite of the skewers handed by Ye Xiaoqin, and shouted to everyone: "But save some appetite, don't wait for the mushroom bacon bamboo tube rice to be ready, it's bad if you don't have the stomach to eat it." ”
Zhu Chaoan said: "It won't drop, it's a big deal, we'll go to the creek to play in the water in a while, and then eat after playing!"
……
The bamboo tube rice has been burning for more than half an hour, and there are no more blisters on the mouth of the bamboo tube, replaced by bursts of tempting aroma.
Li Junge picked out a bamboo tube of lemongrass, broke the bamboo tube a little with a plug, and tore the bamboo tube down to open a piece.
The annual bamboo tube has a lot of moisture, tender and fragrant.
I picked out a little rice with the tip of the plug and tasted it, the rice was already cooked, and the aroma of various mushrooms and bacon mixture, plus the taste of new rice, bamboo tubes and lemongrass, made the barbecue go down at once.
"It's cooked, it's cooked, hurry up and go to the fire. Li Junge beckoned the people watching the fire to put the bamboo tubes into the back basket with bamboo sticks, and went to the stream to wash off the mud on the bamboo tubes.
I didn't say it just now, the bamboo tube is plastered with mud to isolate oxygen, so as not to burn out the bamboo tube after carbonization during the cooking process.
When he came back, he still leaned the bamboo tube against the trunk of the tree, simmered it with the remaining ashes to keep it warm, and then cut it open one by one, and said: "Everyone brings a bowl of good ginger, this thing is delicious while it is hot, there is a bag of green onions over there, and the green onions that can be eaten are sprinkled with a little, and the taste is even more amazing!"
Everyone was given a bowl of ginger leaves with a bamboo tube of rice, and then a few slices of barbecued meat and roasted vegetables, sprinkled with a little chopped green onion, and it was a satisfying meal.
After the tea was boiled, Li Junge brought the pot to the stream and calmed it, then took out a roll of tin foil for barbecue from his bag, tore off a few sheets to make the shape of a plate, and put the chicken fir shreds on it and roasted it.
Some don't put anything, some smear some oil, some sprinkle chili pepper powder in addition to oil, and some sprinkle green onions after oil.
All kinds of spice combinations, in short, have one characteristic: let the mouth water flow directly.
The fragrance is to greet you, and you don't need to shout, everyone gathers around, bakes a plate and empties a plate.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Junge hurriedly made a few more baking trays and said: "Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, no, I can't always serve the people, this is all hungry for me." ”
was holding a bowl of mushroom rice and was planing, when he saw Liu Cheng come over with a few roasted turtledoves and said, "Nine turtledoves, exactly one for each of the nine babies." ”
The adults all stared at the oily roasted turtledove and swallowed their saliva, but Li Yuduo said: "Uncles and aunts, you can eat it, we can often eat it in Lijiagou." ”
Li Junge also said: "Yes, yes, it's just a little less, you can eat it separately." ”
Hu Yonggang took the opportunity to educate the children: "Xiaoyong, you see how humble your brothers and sisters are, you should also learn more from them." ”
After being polite, everyone divided the turtledoves.
Li Shu divided a wing belt with half of his chest, and he couldn't stop licking his lips after eating: "Oh, I knew that roasted turtledoves were like this, I just tried to be laughed at by everyone, and I had to take pictures a few more times, so that I could catch a few more hemp heads!"
